UST THE RIGHT TOUCH {EMSTITCHING ADDS DISTINC- " TION TO ANY GARMENT. opular Timming May Be Done on ~8ewling ‘Machine if One Is Careful and Will Follow Direc- tions Glven. The home dressmaker should give (lllh that one of the most popular ’rlmmlnp in fashion today is hem- ‘titching and its sister, the picot edge. No fabric lends itself so well to this orm of decoration as taffeta. Styles, oo, are simple. Hemstitching as a rimming gives the garment quite the yrofessional touch. _ Of course few need to be told the stitehing 18 more effective if put out to e done, but in remote places one can- 20t always find a person to do it. How- 'n!r. a very good substitute may be produced on the ordinary sewing ma- chine. | To make & hem baste a strip of ma- terial to the portion of the garment, cutting it the desired width. Then place several thicknesses of newspa- ‘per between. When the material is firm basting 18 unnecessary; the seams ‘can be laid together, but in the case of anything so fragile as chiffon it must be properly basted. Otherwise | it will pucker and draw. Now put | under the machine and seam, using a loose stitch. The paper can be taken away and the material drawn gently | Japart, when a row of stitches closely wesembling hemstitching will be seen. !

The hem must be basted in| even]y before sending the stitchlug? out. In the case of chiffon it is very | necessary to draw a thread as & guide to cutting straight.

The material is sent with just the raw edges cut perfectly even, whether on the bias or the straight of the goods. The operator runs the stitch half an inch from the edge, so this should be allowed for when cutting the material. When it comes home, press with a warm iron and cut through the line of stitching. This creates a picot edge, and i8 used to finish the edges of col- lars, sash ends, cravats and ruffles. Hemstitching is, of course, more sub- stantial than the picot edge, but both are decorative. Very often the stitch {s used independently of a seam, as, for instance, the collar and cuffs will be traced in a design to be gone over on the hemstitching machine. Thig with a picot edge is very pretty and dainty looking. A simple frock with collar, cuffs and sash all trimmed with the stitches named will suggest good taste and style.

Was she there? ) | “Was Napoleon at the battle of Wa- ’ ltex'luu‘.‘ She was clinging to him in the reception room, which was against ‘the rules at that: but all of the case- "hardened old key-swingers were let- (ting the rules sprint for the end book _ @it hede | (Copyright.) The grizzled headquarters detective was strolling down from the Mulberry street office of the Tombs, where he | was to pick up a pair of sentenced men, bracelet them together, and con- | voy them “up the river’—which is to say, the Sing Sing prison. 1 fell into step with him, and after a while he told me casually what his job for that day was to be. “Old-time lags, the pair that I'm pointing to stir (prison) today,” he re- marked. “But I'm glad of that. It's the first-timers, and the way they take it to heart when I'm packing them up the road, and the way their women folks at the station shrivel up when the gate closes on their man; that gets me around the neck-band. “The two gumshoe stick-up men that I'm chaperoning to the pen today will be chattering all the way up on the train, figuring on what cell-tier | they'll catch, what kind of a lob the | turnkey of their tier will be, whether they’ll make the laundry or the stone- yard, how many of the old guns that were there the last time they came "here and did a bit will still be there, | and all the like of that. “For those two old-timers the going- | up thing is like being on the way to take the Keeley cure. They know the |lnslde game, and play it with signals. “I'm always glad when it's that way. As I say, it catches me hard around the fichu sometimes when I'm escort- ing the new ones, and especially the youngish ones that've got women folks that still believe in 'em and care for 'em, up to the double-warble plant.” “I had always understood,” I put in, | “that even the new ones, most of them, put on at least a show of game- ness when they were starting off to do their first trick.” “Oh, they're game enough,” the old ' headquarters man replied. “That fs, they don't show anybody what's going on inside of 'em. None of them ever handed mé any of that blub-blub stuff, “But when there’s a little woman in on the blow-off, then it's me to keep my lamps glued to the station clock so that I won't be able to see the breakaway from the clinch of the girl and her boy. “I've been a bull for 30 years, square enough, and know the smell of prisons as well as I know the whiff of ham- | end. “I've brought up and seen go thelr ways a whole houseful of young ones, which {8 why maybe I always try to con the chief into sick-listing me when | I'm wised up to it that I'm slated to convoy one of the firsttimers; one | with a girl wearing his ring and moni- | ker, up the river. | “But the chief always hands me the ' hoot when I try to pull that on him, ' land I've never yet been able to bull |a chief into flopping me off one of | those hard jobs. “I steered one to stir last year about this time, that put the tacks so deep into my tonsils that I came near hav- ‘ng to get 'em pulled out by a lock- smith, “And the finish of that steer-up was | 1& little game of gulpiness that made | me cancel the eats, and just sit around the house for three days, and smoke | PO T Nl 00 0 Bk & | / | 3 BBDHOEPEObESDBPIEIOOBEPBSAY | pygelf close to the pension list. | alone, and unless a hemstitched hem | | “He was a clean-faced, decent-look- ing young fellow; bookkeeper or ml-l lector, or something like that; and, | { from playing the ponfes, I think it was, | |he'd nicked his firm for a few bum hundreds. “His firm got after him like a traffic | cop getting hunk with a chauffeur that | he's laying for; and the boy, who'd never made a dip-in before in his life, | and probably never would have flguln‘ it the firm had given him a run for | his taw marble, was soaked a flve- specker for his first frisk of a little bundle of pungerino bones. “He took the wallop steady enough, though when he caught the eye of the | | glirl sitting alongside his counsel, I'm not saying that he didn't swallow a little cotton for himself. “The girl just rested her arms on the table, and put her head in lhr:m,i and you could see her shoulders shake, | though she didn't make any soumh&‘ worth mentioning “She was a pretty little slip of a thing, and she and her man had only | done the stand-up before the parson | and settled into one of those instal- ment-junk, quarter-meter flats about a | year before. “You could see that he was all the | world and the milky way to her, und,‘ says I to myself, when I saw her shoul- | | ders heaving that way when the boy | | was led off, ‘Me for an acute case of | housemaid’s knee or lumbago if they | try to spin me to the job of steering | that one over the road.’ 4‘ “For I knew that the girl would be | ;at the station, and I'm getting too | | groggy around the Adam’s apple to | dish myself out any more dents of that | | kind than I have to | “Did I get by with that little spiel to myself? 1 was doing most of the convoying of the | lags to stir at that time, and when this boy was due to go up, the chief Never a chance! called me in and slipped me the a&s- |, ' signment to take him.

I caught her in the hall, trying to dry her eyes with a little wad of soaked handkerchief. 1 told her who I was, putting the muffler on the pipes for fear of scaring her; and says I when she had quieted down a bit: “‘Little girl, nobody knows any bet- ter than the old shield-flasher now talking to vou what rough medicine this is that you're now taking; but it might be worse. It's in your poor lt- tle hands to make it worse.’ “‘How is that?’ she asked me in a gaspy kind of way. *“*Why, by being at the station to- morrow, says I ‘Don’t do that. It'll hurt all round. It always hurts. The boy is all right. He'll get his good time, and it won't be long before he'll be back at the flat, spick and span, and fighting for his head to make the new and fine start. ““But don't be at the station tomor- row. Thatd never do. It wouldn't do for anybody. How about it, little woman?' “Oh, yes, she was there. She couldn't help it. She was sitting on a bench in the waiting room when we brushed through the swing door. 1 wicked her first, and I pulled a quick play in getting the handcuffs off our wrists—for the boy and I were, of course, coupled in the betting. “It was ¢ nst the regulation for me to unbra t a con once I'd geared myself to him. But I knew he wasn't going to make any run for it; and somehow 1 couldn't pipe myself trudging up to that girl on the beuch with her man rigged to me like that. “When the boy saw the girl, and jerried up to why I turned him loose to go to her, he was there with a bit of & choke in telllng me that he'd never forget that stufl in me, and all like that. Then he joined her. “T ached to peek in the other direc- tion. DBut I had to kecp the off wick on that untied con, and there was nothing for me to do but wateh their get-together. “Never mind, pal.

It s said that embroidery is the mother of all needlecraft. thusiasts claim that it i{s as great an art as painting or sculpture. There E] much in early history that has been handed down to us in embroideries, which have depicted upon them cer- tain events embracing historical per- gons of olden times. When embroidery was more or less young, the embroid- erer was his own designer. As many men vere interested some of the em- broidercrs, including both en and women, frequently devoted their entire lives to the work whici authorities | have agreed in calling one of the flnest of arts.
