There are two Ways of using the design, It can be basted over canvas and the stitches for the motifs worked right through the pattern, or the motifs can be traced over impression paper laid on the material, which will leave the design distinctly marked on the fabric.

Any fittings such as a small pocket for a change purse must be put in the lining before it is in the envelope bag. A button made by crocheted raffia and a crocheted loop make a good fastening for the flap of the bag. Embroidering the Bags. The lines in the pattern indicate darning stitches done in raffia, which may make a solid covering of em- broidery. If the fabric is to show through, then the stitches should be taken in alternate holes of the can- vas, or far enough apart for the ma- terial, whatever it Is, to be visible ‘In straight rows. The work must be precise and even. Work the circles with no reference to theé holes in the canvas, but following the circular out- lines absolutely. Use blanket stitch for them and for all borderings. Centers maywbe-in French knots. If the foundation material is of a square weave fabric. and not canvas, the space between thé diagonal lines whére the motifs come can be left without the darned stitching of raffia. If this portion is worked, however, the most interesting method is to use a color contrasting with that of the rest of the foundation raffia and to set the stitches at right angles to those in the triangles on either sidg.

BURGESS happen to move. Looking out across the meadow he had seen the grass J|moving in a strange way. At once he had spread his wings and flown over there to see what it meant. He got there just as Danny Meadow Mouse and the Meadow Mouse who thought he owned the meadow stopped fight- ing. What he had seen was the mov- ing grass caused by that fight. Killy j was chuckling as he flew back with Danny. He was chuckling over the good dinner he was abeut to have. But no one is sure of a dinner until it is swallowed, and not always then. Killy alighted on the top of a_tall stub, which was hollow. He didn't have hold of Danny as tightly as he thought he had. When he alighted he laid Danny across the edge of the hollow stub and let go of him with one foot. This was Danny's chance. He gave a kick and a wiggle. and while Killy screamed and grabbed at him, Danny slipped over the edge and fell down inside 1t didn’t hurt him a bit. You see. on the_hottom there was a thick béd of rotten: wood called “punk,” and this gaved Danny from being hurt. Looking up, he eould see a little round patch of sky, and as he watched he saw Killy poke his head in and look ‘down. Killy couldn't get down there. Danny was safe, He was spre and he was dreadfully frightened: but even at that he had to grin to himself at the way Killy was or thought that Danny adow Mouse had done him a-great wrong. Yes, sir, you certainly would. An angrier little Hawk you never saw in all your life. But being angry did him no good.” ¥f he would dine, he would have to go and look somewhere else for his dinner. ‘And to this he finally made up his mind.

All of you who sigh and pine for lustrous blue eyes—for milky white skin, for long black lashes, perfect mouths, straight little noses, beautifully shaped ears, or any of the rest of the paraphernalia that gets you into Ziegfeld's first row, overnight—just quit it. I've talked to you all so often on this subject , you'll be weary of another lecture. Yet you seem lo need it. The mails never stop piling up with letters of misery from “Freckled” and “Ugly” and “Just a Plain Little Wallflower” and all sorts of other idiotic pen-names who want 40 know how to be beautiful. Not only do they express An abso- lute craving for beauty, but they also express the assurance that they can't get anywhere inthe world unless they have that gift of the gods. They frankly tell me that I'm talk- ing applesauce when I ‘say go out and get the man you want, no matter what you may look like. “They say it can’t be done. Every man in the world wants a pretty girl. Every man in the world demands beauty in the woman he loves. Did you ever hear such a lot of hokum? Believe me, if every man in the world wants a beautiful wife, there must be an average of 99 per cent disappointed husbands in the world. Honestly, now, how many relll}; hegutiful girls do any of you know? How many of you can truthfully say that the majority of your crowd is beautiful or-even prétty? They're probably darn nice leoking. Most American girls are. But they're not gifted with royal and men ‘don’t expect ft. What they do expect—and what they demand—is attraction. They want the girl who is attractivé to them. If she has that certain something that captures their favorable atten- tion they don’t care whether her nose is snub, her eyes green, her hair straight and her skin dublous. * This is & fact. There are more popular girls in New York today who got that way by sheer art of dress- ing' and making up than there are pretty girls who just dazzlé men with their looks. You've got Stop’ it! beauty, to take the greatest care of your appearance. If: you're definitely on the ugly side, then you've got to dress boyishly or pér- haps in rather a bizarre fashién. You must depend on none of -the acces- sories which stand the prétty girl in such good stead. You've got to keep alért. Always have yourself smart and. dapper and pert. Always have the old aids to nature right where you can use them. Make vourself a type if you cant be a beauty. But get over the idea that beauty is what lands you in the charmed circle. That's so old-fashioned 1 wonder How ‘my" fnodern readers can still fall for it. Stop worrying about all the things the Lord didn't give vou.

FISHKILL, N. Y., October 19, 1776. —The New York committes of safet: now in session here, has received in- formation today of the complete de- struction of the American fleet on Lake Champlain in the battles of Oc- tober 11 and 13. The news came from Géns. GAteés and Arnold to Gen. Philip S¢huyler at Albany. who re- layed that the naval disaster will surely be followed by a British ad- vance upon Fort Ticonderoga, if not also by an invasion of the Hudson Valley from Albany to New York. Only the lateness of the season. it is agreed, could discourage the King's generals from pushing their present advantage. The committee is not inclined to Intrust the State’s safety to the single chance that Sir Guy Carleton will turn back toward Canada because Winter is esming. It will, therefore. send 12 of its members to Albany to co-opérate with Gen. Schuyler in re- pelling the anticipated invasion of our northern and western borders. This committee has power to call out the éntire militia of six counties and assemble them wherever they may be needed, and all the militia of Ulster County has been put under orders to be ready at a minute's warning to Any job in all the world Td trade mine for today, And I suppose that you as well Are faeling just ‘Tbey were. mote - Exacting even than you would be universities — t every single made bread. march with three days' provisions. This threat of an invasion from the north, coming just as the British forces to the south are aneing into Westchester and threatening to surround Gen. Washington's army, has greatly alarmed the people of the entire Hudson Valley. Further news from American headquarters at Ti conderoga is awaited anxiously. Aild Goes to Ethan Allen. NEW HAVEN.
