Even if knots are not made in the ends of threads (which bhouid he avolded punctillously), the necessarily large needle makes holes n the fabric that do not come together soon, if and these holes are no ticeable blemishes. Any slight ends of threads that show (and it {s difficult to prevent this happening, unless you are an expert(, is another blemish. See that the medium is not in accord with the fabric. There are heav) very soft mediums that may be used on sheer materials. When it comes to mets with large meshes they call for heavy working mediums, for fine ones are ineffectval.

In fact, the more work put on poor goods, the more striking is the Inappropriateness. Keep work simple. There is no beauty in meaningless intricacies.

Worrying o'er this and Youll Bnd an ‘Whgidot for Tat ~=0ld Mother Nature. Chatterer the Red Squirrel was quite beside himself. Every one within sound of his voice knew this. It really was quite shocking. Somebody had found two of his storehouses and had taken the nuts that were stored there, It was bad enough to have one store- house found and robbed, but when Chatterer discovered that a certain special storehouse, in which he had hidden away many sweet beechnuts, had been entered and those sweet beechnuts taken he acted as if he were crazy. Some people are that way. It doesn’t do them any good and it doesn’t get them anywhere, byt this doesn’t seem to make any difference. Now, Chatterer had first suspected Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, and then Rusty the Fox Squirrel. But though he had watc! lowed them, he hadn't once discovered anything to show that they were the l'ones who had emptied his storehouses. 150 Chatterer was complete He might have suspected Sammy but for the fact that one of these storehouses was where Sammy could not possibly get at it. So he didn't know who to suspect, and he worried. “My goodness!” said Chatterer to himself, for he talks to himself when he has no one else to talk to. “My goodness! What is going to happen to me if any more of my storehouses are robbed? I put away plenty of food for the Winter, but if it is going to be stolen this way I don’t know what will happen. No, sir, 1 don’t know what will happen.” So from that time on Chatterer be- gan to spend a great deal of his time running from one storehouse to an other and worrying. He worried for fear he would find another storehouse robbed. He worried for fear, even if no more of his storehouses were rob. bed, he would not have enough food to Inst him the Winter through. So Chatterer grew thin. For a small per on, Chatterer Is thin, anyway. You see, he is altogether too active to get very fat. He runs his fat off. But when he began to worry he grew even thinner, and the middle of the Winter isn't & good time to grow thin. He was worrying himself thin, that, he lost his appetite. You know it i< one of the most difficult things in the world to have a good appetite when you are worrying. Wo appetite do not go together.
