Eyelet Embroidery—This style of nee- (Ufe-work, familiarly known as English or stiletto embroider}-, has in the last few years been revived for home decorative and wearing apparel purposes. It consists of small round or oval holes, made with a sharp-pointed scissors or a stiletto. Be fore the opening is made a thread is run around the design carefully, and the open ing is made by means of cutting toward each end, which tends to shape the design. The cloth is neatly rolled under and the needlework is done in an overstitch fashion, all around the opening. Linen thread not too fine is employed for em- bi’oidering the eyelets. This linen thread should be selected according to the quality of linen, used for the pattern. Mt. Mellick Embroidery—This em broidery takes its name from the village of Mt. Mellick, in Queen’s County, Ireland. The work is susceptible of many varia tions. Usually it is done on white linen, Mt. Mellick cloth, or linen damask. It is suitable for center pieces, scarfs, bed spreads, shirt waists, etc. A pearl-luster embroidery thread, in varied sizes, or Mt. Melliek silk, is employed to produce the correct effect in this work. Hardanger Embroidery—In Western Norway, on the banks of a little river, stands the city of Hardanger. This is where the Hardanger embroidery work originated, aud from there it was taken up by the whole of Europe. It was introduced here a few years ago and has since held a prominent place in the department of art needlework. It is made in scrim or canvas, which may be obtained in different sizes or meshes. The work is simple and beautiful and is recommended for its dura bility. The thread employed has a pearl luster. Holbein Embroidery—This work is a cross-stitch embroider}' done in red and blue cotton only. The origin of Holbein may be traced back to Hans Holbein, an artist living in the fifteenth century, who originally employed a similar design in his paintings, which show antique borders, dragons, heraldic emblems and figures of men and women in court costume. The work is done on a Russian linen cloth of quite heavy quality. It is used in decorat ing towels, table cloths, doilies, center pieces and bedspreads. Hedebo Embroidery—This interesting work is known to many art embroidery lovers as Danish embroidery. It is of Dan ish origin, and is one of the highest arts in the white embroidery line. Hedebo em broider}’ is done on white or cream Danish art linen, an embroidery thread being used for making the eyelets, filo-twist for the solid work, and a linen lace thread for the lace stitches. All figures are first outlined, then buttonholed neatly in a narrow but tonhole stitch around the edge. . The little triangles, stars, fans, crescents, etc., which combine to make the artistic designs are also made of the buttonhole stitches, work ed very close together. In order that the stitches be uniform they are counted. Shadow Embroidery—Unlike any oth er kind of art needlework, the shadow em broidery is worked on the wrong side of the material, thus reflecting the outline only on the right side. The embroidery work is one of the simplest ever produced. It is very effective when used for shirt waist decorations, collar and cuffs, pillows, corset covers, scarfs and center pieces. The material on which the work is done must be very sheer, so that the embroidery can show through oh the right side; hence the name “shadow.” The stitch is very simple, being worked from one edge to an other. The right side stitches must be close together, making a perfect outline for the pattern. The work resembles appli que. It is shown in machine as well as hand-done patterns. Such work when in a delicate color is very rich and attractive. Nordisca Embroidery—This is an artis tic embroidery, recently developed. The designs are embroidered in a cross stitch form on buff material. This work is sym bolic of picturesque Norway, and the in troduction of figures and animals peculiar to that country make the designs extreme ly interesting. It is shown in both stamp ed aud finished pieces, such as towels, cen ter pieces, table covers and portieres. Un like the usual cross stitch, there is no counting to be done, as the work is less exact. Red, green, black and -blue are combined in the designs. Chamberlin - Johnson - DuBose C ompany
