Needlework Notes.

Instead of embroidery in floss on sport hats, baby ribbon in bright colors is worked in designs looking as tho it were darned thru the silk crown. y In making shoe and slipper bags for the friend who is about to travel be sure to make each pair of a different material, which saves unnecessary opening. It is more convenient to make a seperate bag or envelope for each shoe and sew strong loops of tape at the ends so that they may be hung up in a closet. It is well to make the bags big enough to hold the shoes with their trees inside, for most people who wish to prolong the lives of their shoes keep the trees in always when they are not in wear. The embroidered medallion is a splendid innovation for the woman who can afford but one hat, and who wishes to wear that hat with more than one costume. It is economy for such a person to purchase an all-black hat and then on this to use medallions embroidered in colors to harmonise with the frock or suit with which the hat is to be worn.
