tliort stitches, keep the reedle
toward the right and work upward.
To nuke the dots as eyelets, first

the outline, pierce with a stiletto
and work over and over. To make
lh fiowcrs and leaves as eyelets,
6ist tuna thrtad round the stamped

iLCGESTIONS FOR TRANS
1 rRRlNG THESE PATTERNS.
THE wirdow pane method is '
perhaps the simplest and is
particularly successful when
the material is thin such as batiste,
lawn, or handkerchief linen, the
best plan is to pin the sheet of
paper and the material together
ard hold them up against the
window pane and with a sharp
ptrcil trace the design on the
fabric, or els lay the material on
the pattern on top of a table or
other hard urface, and carefully
trace the des.gn with a well pointed
pencil, the design may also be
transferred to heavy material b
using a piece of transfer or carbon
paper, to be placed between the
pattern and cloth, using a sharp
pointed pencil to secure a clean
lire.
This Design is the exact size for
EMBROIDERING and can be

People sometimes refuse to recognize
common sense and poetry as fusible, vet
the highest form of poetry in realltj is
a helpful message harmoniously express
ed, and It must be of practical applica
tion, elsn it falls short of the standard.
Mrs Robinson comes from a family fa
mous for the breadth of their Ideals for
all humanity, and especially for women
Here she gives what might be called
working Ideals of life
Through faith and work together she
has found the well-spring of life, not
an unsecln happiness to be demolished
by careless blows of fate, but joy which
Is constant through all events, because It
has looked so deeply into life and death
and the plan of the eternal that It can
understand sorrow and Joy alike, and
find the silver lining in every cloud.
Glimpses of God are gained through
child-life, through youth's stress and
strain, through nature, through love and
marriage, through frelndshlp. through re
ligion, and philosophy of religion. Puz
zled or troubled souls will find In the
author's words comfort, guidance, and
inspiration for idrals grown dim In the
struggle of even day life.

Mr. Prowell, In a chapter entitled "The
Passing of the Peacock's Tall," relates
the cause and methods through which It
was brought about n few months ago the
practical session of the pountry of the
Moors to France. Vividly he draws the
picture of the scene In the palace of the
Sultan at Fez when that ruler put his
signature to the document which estab
lished the French protectorate over that
Moorish domain. But the political status
of Morocco Is not the main portion of his
description, but rather the country and the
people and the practical value lo France
of Its latest colonial acquisition, concern
ing which Mr. Prowell Is not optimistic.
Mr. Prowell tells us of the Ouled Nails,
the sirens of the desert: the dancing girls
of the North African littoral, who follow
the lives of the better known geishas of
Japan; the nautches of India, and the
odalisques of Turke). Not only this, but
