Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 30, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 August 1911 — EMBROIDERED BAG. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

EMBROIDERED BAG.

Illustrating the Legend of the House That Jack Built. Useful for many household purposes is the little bag shown here. It may save the tired mother many steps if used as a darning or sewing bag. As a collar and cuff or handkerchief bag it is very useful. In a little larger proportions it will also do as a general laundry bag. The embroidery on the bag is a very new and novel effect, designed by the

art school of the New York Young Women’s Christian association. This department of the school is under the direction of Miss Mary Bacon Jones, widely known for her writings on needlecraft. The pattern on the bag can be worked in cross stitch or in Kensington stitch. The pattern is a quaint angular one representing the story of Jack and Jill. Jill is standing beside the cow with the crumpled horn,' while on the other side of the “house that Jack built” stands its architect, together with the priest all shaven and shorn.
