PAGE Y Dainty Cross-Stitch Design BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. N Ny ey ey oy — A e THIS CROSS-STITCH PATTERN HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR READERS. IT CAN BE WORKED IN COLOR OR IT CAN BE CARRIED OUT IN FILET CROCHET. Dainty patterns for cross stitch are when tent stitch is: employed, because always in demand for embroidering handkerchief cases, napery, lingerie, etc. And so T have had one especially designed for readers of this paper. It can be worked in color easily by using one hue for each of the different mark- n the cross bars. It can be worked ite on white, or in any one color matching. or contrasting with, the background fabric. Space has been left in the center of the wreath, and this is large enogh for an owner’s initial to be embroidered within. The wreath can be embroidered on fine linen by counted threads or on course linen by the same method. It can be cross stitched over Java canvas, in which case the size of the finished bit of needlecraft will vary in accord- ance with the size of the canvas. The canvas threads can be withdrawn, once the embroidery is completed, leaving ‘the stitchery against the foundation | textile. Or the canvas may be filled in with cross stitch done in the same sized medium, or worked in larger medium, when half cross stitch, also called tent stitch, is used. The larger medium will be needed -4 BY FOLLOWING THE COLOR CHART | it is a single, not a double. stitch and | the canvas will not be completely con- | cealed, as it should be, unless the medium is course. In ancient tapes- tries, different size mediums are fre- | quently found. Then stitches vary in | §ize or in kind, the tent stitches being | aken over single strands of the founda- | tion textile for very fine embroidery. When colored threads are employed | for the cros8 stitches, make centers of flowers of yellow and blossoms of any preferred color, such as pink, blue, lilac, yellow, rose, etc. The foliage is done green. This is clearly designated in e pattern by the straight, horizontal line. The bow of ribbon above the wreath ' |is old blue, mulberry, black, brown or {any shade that harmonizes well with | the colors used in the wreath. The | ribbon is designated by straight cross | lines in squares. The design can be worked in crochet | or In knitting in color, using the double | knitting for the latter.

Within the last 36 hours the arrivals have included a com- pany of Cavalry, acting as light Artil- lery, from Wesi Fuiny, commanded by Lieut. Griffin, and Company D, 1st Ar- tillery, commanded by Maj. Hawkins, with, Lieuts. Dugan and Cooper, from Fort Hamilton. In the Cavalry detachment from West Point there are 80 men. They have taken up quarters on E street near Sixth street, their horses being provided for at the stable in the City Hall Square. The men brought with them four brass field pleces. Ever since their arrival their headquarters have been surrounded by large numbers of spectators. Company D of the 1st Artillery has 54 men. This company is acting as In- fantry, although it has its guns with it. It is quartered on north B street on Capitol Hill. The great depth of the mud near where the stables were erected gave this detachment a great deal of trouble. The guns were nearly mired several times before they could be hauled up on firm ground. Effor _ o compromise the increasing difficu between the slave and the ‘ree States continue without interruption as the time draws nearer for the in- auguration of Abraham Lincoln as President. It was made known today | that the select committee of five will| make an effort to agree upon and re- port favorably a joint resolution to the House and Senate, calling for a national convention to attempt an adjustment of the alarming situation. An official copy of the Louisiana ordinance of secession has just been received here and the congressional delegation from that State is expected to withdraw tomorrow from further deliberations of the House and Senate with the exception of Representative Bouligny, who is the only member of either House from the seceded States who has taken part in the proceedings since the secession ordinances have been passed. ‘The names of all the members of the House from the seceded States—31 in number—continue to be called upon all yea and navy votes, regardless of the fact that there is no response except in Mr. Bouligny's case.

'HREE pretty young women emerged from a door of the executive offices at the White House flushed and excited. “He doesn’t shake hands nicely at all,” one_exclaimed. “I was all set,” another seid, “to tell him we were returning his. visit to Charlottesville, but they pushed me by 80 fast I didn't have a chance.” “Pushed?” queried the third. fairly shoved through.” They had just been introduced and had shaken hands with the President— three of the 225 who had filed past the “T was Chief Executive that morning at the | daily public reception. Keep Moving. 1t is an easy matter to meet the Pres- | “{dent of the United States. All that is necessary is a letter from a member of Congress. These gentlemen jump as the opportunity. More than one has made his seat in Congress a bit more secure by making it possible for his constitu- ents to shake the President’s hand. Armed with his letter, the next step is to see Pat McKenna. the veteran doorkeeper to the executive offices. He Jooks you over and assigns you a place in line. If the President is not behind with his | daily schedule the door to his office is opened at 12:30 pm. The line files through quickly and silently, guided on one side by the doorkeeper, on the other by a secret service man. The President stands at the door, just inside, apparently glad to see everyone. He wears a benign smile as he varies his greeting from I am pleased” to * am delighted, 1 assure you.” Even as he greets you his cye has wandered to the person behind. There is nothing to do except keep moving. One feels he would have gotten the same satisfac- tion had he seen the President motor by on Pennsylvania avenue. They Like 1t. But they like it-=these visitors. In- variably they emerge by the other door, their faces wreathed in smiles. It is easy to see that they are greatly satis- fied with themselves. The stories they will tell the home folks are written all over their faces. For most of them it is apparently one of the greatest dxys! of their lives. Occasfonally the President will con- sent to pose for a picture with some delegation. This is rare. 1f & party from some foreign country is formally presented, then enough time is spared to say a word of welcome. % Usually, however, the line keeps mov- ng.

The impressive solemni- | ty is entirely in accord with the whole idea of honoring an unknown hero. Many Visitors. People of all classes daily visit the tomb. The first busloads are there as soon as the gates of Arlington open at sunrise, and they continue to come un- til the cannon at Fort Myer booms at sunset.

Fashion never catches up | with them, for they know what will be| shown long before it is out and by the time the newest is launched they | are concerned with the newer still. Contrary to popular conception life is not all froth and frills for th2 thou- sand or more models here.

There have been in quick succession Patou's famous “June,” a slender brunette with an ap- ple blossom complexion and black hair, | whom Frederick Almay married soon after the death of his wife, the late| Lady Michelham, and Dorothy Smart, | now the wife of a wealthy Canadian | publisher. | Beautiful Josephine Armstrong be- came the wife of Erskine Gwynne and now is a popular young hostess in Paris | saciety. “Dolores,” a languid brunette with pallid skin and daik eyes, re- cenily married Michel de Surmont of | an important French family.

The American beauties were a success from the first, but they have two drawbacks, according to Monsieur Patou. They require more pay than the French girls and are hard to keep.

Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Life. The most interesting of all the sciences are zoology, botany and psy- chology.

Life is a continual change, an eternal flux of energies whose | origins lie beyond the ken of human investigation. | But Science in the modern sense of the term does not hesitate to describe | life.

That which is called | mind is nothing but a blanket term for the manifold increase and variation in forms of behavior or conduct. The behavior or conduct, moral, immora or non-moral, must be regarded forms of adjustment to situations. At any given moment these adjustments are made for the sake of what Dr. Clark calls “best advantage.” If lite amounts to variation for the sake of life-sustaining advantages. then behavior must be the expression of the values of ilfe under the ever-changing conditions of life.
