NEEDLEWORK NOTES.

An evidence of the value of tiny ( tucks was seen on a white voile blouse. The deep sailor collar had a. border formed of tucks, and down the front of the blouse there was a straight piece of voile with tucks running horizontally from neck to the waist line. The tucks were short enough to allow the sides of the panel to flare. Darning by machine is easy, speedy and results in a mend that is scarcely noticeable. To darn, place the article In an embroidery frame to hold steadily and keep It straight; move the stitch of the machine to the shortest point and take out the presser screw. Use. a fine thread. Place the article to be darned under the needle, hold firmly and move steadily back, forth sidewise of wherever you wish to go, not turning the goods around at all.
