SOME HAND EMBROIDERED BLOUSES
By Ethel
Demareet
Pour dainty white blouses which
owe much of their beauty to the
embroidery designs which ornament
them are sketched below. The
blouse on the upper left hand was
of fine white mousseline combined
with lace insertion and joiner. The
mousseline is embroidered in pink
and white, the blouse closed with
rhinestone buttons.
To the right of this is one made
of white net laid in fine tucks on
shoulders and sleeves, the latter
finished with a double ruche held
by a black silk ribbon. The same
is weighted with bluestones and
pressed about the neck.
On the lower left is a pretty
blouse of voile trimmed with nar-
row cluny lace and pleating. Close-
ly placed white buttons trim revers
and front.
The blouse on the lower right is
of white voile with crochet edging
on revers and collar. All of the
blouses are embroidered on the
center fronts, the' upper right and
lower left in white only, the lower
right in dark blue and white.

Inexpensive
Preserves
By Hilda Barker.
Almost every housekeeper puts
up several jars of citron preserves
every fall either as a sweet or a
fickle.
Watermelon rind is quite as good
for making nice preserve and chil-
dren will appreciate helpings of
this sweet during the winter days
at any and every meal. The cost,
too, is light.
Many women have their own
family recipe for preserving water-
melon and citron, but the follow-
ing, which is one from away back,
is especially good and I should
recommend young housekeepers to
try it. Cut the rind into pieces
about two inches long and one
and one-half inches wide. Soak in
brine over night. In the morning
rinse and put to soak again in
alum water. Again rinse and leave
soaking in clear water the third
night. Weigh the melon and use
sugar pound for pound. Place the
sugar with just enough water to
dissolve it in a porcelain kettle and
stir until it dissolves before placing
over the fire. Then boil hard for
fifteen minutes.
Drop the melon in and cook for
half an, hour, then put back on
the stove and cook slowly for three
hours. (If slowly cooked when
first put in the melon will be
mushy.) Add one or two sliced
leomns according to the quantity of
rind. When done the slices will
be transparent. If liked a few
cloves can be cooked with the pre-
serve. Some people like the flavor
others do not. Fill the jars with
the watermelon and pour over the
syrhp boiling hot. Seal while at
this point.
v Pepper Catsup.
Pepper catsup is an agreeable
relish. Put twenty-five large red
peppers into the preserving kettle
seeds and all with one pint of
vinegar and boil until tender.
will require frequent stirring.
When soft rub through a sieve.
Pour over the pulp, another pint
of vinegar, also two tablespoonfuls
of brown sugar and two ounces of
whole mixed spices.
Stir all together and boil\ down
one half. Strain through a cloth
and bottle when quite cold.
Grape Catsup,
Grape catsup. The ripe grapes
that have fallen, but are not soft
can be made into a nice catsup.
The fruit must be washed care
fully, then put into the kettle with
sugar one-half of the quantity of
grapes, and to every five pounds
of grapes one pint of vinegar, two
ounces of mixed spices and salt to
taste. Boil together until it
thickens.

ly, are almost impossible of placing
desirably and effectively. No mat-
ter where they are used, they
touch an alien note, and often mar
what would otherwise be a har-
monious room. It was brought
home to me very forcibly a few
weeks ago when I was arranging
a home full of beautiful old Colo-
nial mahogany furniture, but found
many pieces of black ebony, a fur-
niture most fashionable about thir-
ty years ago. This furniture was
not the carved kind which fits in
pretty well anywhere, but the plain
kind which needs a fitting back-
ground to show it to advantage.
In this case the problem was
solved by collecting all of it—every
single piece—and putting it into
one rom. This room was then
treated Chinese fashion, and when
finished was most attractive. The
room selected was an upstairs sit-
ting room, which connected two
bed rooms. One of these rooms
was furnished in rose pink, and
the other in turquoise blue, conse-
quently this room had to tie the
two together. There were no chairs
in the ebony, so a couch and sev-
eral large chairs were collected
from other parts of the house.
Over these were put slip covers
of heavy black cretonne whose de-
sign was very Chinese in character.
This design was of jardinieres of
turquoise blue on stands of carved
ivory, filled to overflowing with
rose pink flowers. The pattern
was set and stiff, hut charming in
its detail of treatment and color-
ing. Care was taken in cutting . ,
this cretonne, so that the flowers ^ust given to suit each case
were always growing upright, and Some have to be very modern,
the jardinieres were exactly in the some in by gone periods. Don t
to the otherwise entire Colonial
furnishing and treatment. And it
was not in the least out of har-
mony. Way back in our grand-
father’s day, when merchant ships
plied between our coast and China,
many of these things were brought
to this country, and given an hon-
ored place in the house. Sets of
Willow china are still held in
proper reverance and each piece
carefully guarded from careless
servants. So a touch of East India
or China in an old Colonial house
is an added memory of old days,
and gives us the opportunity to
use many bits of odds and ends
that otherwise seem to have no
abiding place of their own. Owing
to the black background of the
cretonne, there was no fear of
soiling, so the couch and * chairs
could he used to the utmost, and
could stand much use and some
abuse. Consequently this room was
soon a meeting place for the fam-
ily, and its home-like atmosphere
with its Far East furnishing, grew
in fascination, and became the
most popular room in the house.
And it was built entirely from
pieces which no one knew what to
do with, hut all loved from their
associations.
Now this is only an illustration
of what can be done with such
pieces. Never get discouraged and
give up, or spoil several rooms
by distributing the pieces among
them. Collect them all in one
room, and furnish the room around
the furniture. This can always be
done, though, of course, treatment

middle of the hack and of the seat

Thus the rose of one bed room,
and the turquoise blue of the other,
was united in the middle room, so
when the doors of either were left
open, the harmony was perfect.
Owing to the lack of direct light,
for there were no outside windows,
only French doors elading onto the
covered porch, the wall had to sup-
ply this lack. So the turquoise blue
of the pots was chosen and the
walls done in this. On the floor
was a black rug with an outside
border of the blue in a conven-
tional design. There were no cur-
tains except the soft net ones at
the French doors. /
Now the room was ready for
the furniture. The ebony was per-
fect here, and looked just as it
was intended it should look—as
if brought especially for this room.
There were several cabinets which
were filled with Chinese potteries
of inexpensive makes, tall stands
which held blue jardinieres filled
with growing pink azaleas, and on
the center table was a strip of
black velour, as a cover, and the
lamp was Chinese in pink and blue,
with a black wicker shade linqd

The woman who loves comfort
does not forget to pack into her
vacation trunk a small pillow which
may be used in a rowboat, or a
hammock, or which she can prop
against a tree, in the woods. Very
good for the purpose are down pil-
lows encased in oblong covers of
sift glove leather. At the top is
a strap handle for carrying the
pillow about. A small feather pil-
low will answer equally well , but
will not be so light in weight.
If the leather cover is too expen-
sive, make a strong cover of denim
or burlap, stitching the flat strap-
handle at one end.
