THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1919. CAC TEE . po Applique a Embroidery Sixth in & Series of Lessonssby'a Belgian Artist ee OLD weather has its effect on wiry oa one short thing, even' types of embroidery, and stitch (see iHustration No. 1).. Finish all thes motif in the same with the coming of autumn ofie Jin ath 4t_ consistent to consider heavier nkedle work, for a tin embraidery. which will he the lesson to-day] in in great demand for dress ornamenta- tion and has been asked for by several readers. Many of of the fashionable autumn] gowns from Paris| are trimmed, with soutache brald, with beads or with em- broidery, and any woman at all handy with the needle can make a simple dress very attractive by braiding, beading or embroidering it Applique embroi- dery is especially - #murt and it is to be surmised that more than ode of our readers will be glad to add with it a Mnishing touch to her gown and to do it herself jn the Interest of war- time economy, to say nothing of the dif- ficulty of finding any one to do it for her. This embroidery is so simple and easy to make "that it is more like play than work to fashion it and if properly done it gives a wonderful effect to a very simple frock. It may be combined with/fur, such &s Hudson seal (or any pelt that has very short hair) of with a fine quality of silk velvet. If the dress matérial Is dark use red or white (preferably white) carbon paper for stamping the design, which should be done neatly of course In order to get good results... - After the design Is - stamped baste the material (where the design is stamped) on very heavy paper that will . hold the material in place and keep it from'stretching. Baste around and across the paper several times so that it will be sure not to slip. If & motif in some con- ventional design is to be made it should be developed in velvet or in Tur. First cut the velvet or fur just the same size as the part of the motif that is to be worked and be sure that the velbet fa cut exact ana regular, or otherwise it will ruin the whole effect of the design. Baste the Velvet or fur inside the line of the design nnd begin the work by using 8 heavy silk floss and embroidering ail around the motif, using one long stitch 3 Serre SHRUNKEN UNDERWEAR.

Don} cut each petal separately, but cut themrall inv one and then baste the velvet ont the design and make the jong and shortsstitch just as is done-dn thet case of the motif. Thisstitch is only for the outside edges of the flower, however (see illustration No. 3), and the stem or running stitch must be used tp owtiine the petals and a number of Frenchiknots made to fill in the centre. For the large leaves do just the same as for jthe single motif and the flower, but for the small leaves outline them in the stem stitch and; fill them in with the stem @titch. This gives an entirely @ir- fereng effect, Thenstems themselves are, of comrse, made just. as are the stems in other embroidery. A different touch may be given to this embroidery by devel. oping only the out- side edge of the flower with velvet and filling in the rest of the design with the stem stitch (see illustration No. 4). Here a motif a is worked half in wel- vet and half is filled In with stem stitch. After the embroidery is completéd take it off of the paper and press it, but, be sure not to press it flat, for that would ruin the velvet or fur. Hawve the fron hot and, turn it over so that the material may be Hassed over the iron. Place a damp cloth between the material and. the iron. A small pail or anything that the Iron will fit into may be used to support it, as the material is quickly brushed over it. It is necessary, too, that the floss shall be the exact shade of the fur or velvet, otherwise the general effect will be marred.

MAKE A RATION HEATER. ead imernr It is the easbest thing imaginable to make ration heaters; or scalda-rancio, as they are called in Italy, if one follows the directions of the National Italian So- clety. Spread out four newspapers, eight sheets in all, and begin rolling at the long edge Roll as tightly as possible until the papers are half rolled; fold back the first three sheets toward the rolled part and continue to wrap around the roll almost to the first fold, then fold back another three sheets and continue to wrap around. the roll again up to the last margin of the AT RATRER.

Prevention vs. Cure. We may visit 'the most expensive beauty specialists in town and be un- failing in our attendance at the hair dresser's, but unless we give a certain amount of attention to conserving our energy we may expect to have our faces become wrinkled and lined and our hair to turn prematurely gray. Cold weather is coming on apace, and it is bound to bring wrinkles In its wake unless we hestir ourselves and take particular pains to see that it does not. The cold tends to dry the natural oil {that is so necessary for feeding the tissues, and the problem that will soon confront us will be how to keep our skins in excellent condition hy supply- ing the element that is lacking without overnourishing the pores. The best time for us to inspect our} complexions and to discover in just] ent i CLEANSY SEIN WITH ° Cn Corp CREAM oe eat Mp pip be what state they really are is the strofig light 'of early morning. he We can decide whether the skin is in a healthy or unhealthy state by taking a fold of the flesh between the thumb and forefinger.

A preparation made from an ounce of benzoated oxide of zine ointment and two drgms of strong spirits of camphor, 'gradually mixed, may prove an effica- cious substitute. For most of us, however, a simple cream used not too often and in mod eration will prove immeasurably bene- ficial. .

On this margin, consisting of two sheets, spread a little glue or paste and continue the rolling, so as to make a compact roll of paper, almost like a torch. If six of the sheets are not turned under, there will be too many edges to glue. While the newépapers may be cut along the lirfé of the columns before rolNng, and the individual columns rolled sepdrately, as is done in the making of the trench candles in France, it is easier to roll the whole newspaper into a long roll and then out it into: short lengths. : A sharp carving knife, a pair of pruning shears, or an old fashioned hay cutter will 'cut the rolls easily.
