Norway sent us Hardanger Embrcidery—not so very long ago—and it became popular instantly, In the form of band trimmings and medallions it is splendidly suited for shirt waists, dresses, collar and cuff sets—and for scarfs, doilies and centrepieces, The best ground- work is Hardanger canvas, on which the designs are worked out most beautifully in mercerized floss and linen thread. It is not a new form of Embroidery with the Norwegian needleworkers—and the wonder is that it was so long in being found out by Americans. Samples ot the various designs and stitches are to be seen in our Art Embroidery department, where lessons will be given under the direction of a skilled needleworker from Norway.
