T ' ' A new form of needlework, very \ beautiful `in its results, is shown in the May Delineatqr. Instead of accom-l l plishing embroidery by colored stitches of various lengths, as heretofore, very pretty results are obtained by sewing carefully to a proper background small `strips of colored silk cut out in the shape of leaves or petals or stalks. A most attractive feature of. the article ._describing this method of work, is that there is a full page printed in colors showing the effect of this dainty idea. Barrie, the author, has also found that a prophet is nnhonored in his own country, for the plain, simpletolks `of his own Thrnms think the wee black men has held `them up to ridicule in his havers an nonsense, as they re. gard his writings. It is a delightful view one nets of Barrie, and the scenes of his stories, from The Real Thrums of Barrie, in the May. Ladies Home Journal.
