Embroidery Substitute.

This season of lovely and costly flowered chiffons and nets, the girl who sighs for them in vain can evolve a creditable substitute if she is skilled with her needle. Let her embroider on Paris muslin, or handkerchief linen flowers and foliage in any color and size preferred. These can be worked in Kensington stitch and shade, but Wallachian stitch is rapid and easy. " The sprays can then be appliqued to Brussels net for blouses or whole gowns. The work can also be done directly on chiffon** by basting tissue paper underneath to give body to the embroidery. The paper Is easily pulled away later. Many different kinds of flowers are found in the patterns for Wallachian embroidery and the ingenuity of the worker will show how they can be artistically applied. The flowers can he embroidered in a single tone to give monochrome effects, but it Is newer to shade them and not much more trouble.
