IEAY OFFICE YARD BRANCH â€"OFFICE KIRXLAND LAKE PHONE 117 PHONE 393 PLEASANT HoMES by Elizabeth MacRea Boykin Clever With Felt Laurel Farmer is an American deoâ€" signer who has lots of bright ideas for hand crafts. She is particularly clever with makes boxes, sachets, book marks, sewing cases, afghans out of felt, decorating them with contrastâ€" ing flowers cut cut of felt, sometimes adding a bow of satin or velvet. When the article will need to be dry cleaned, the felt is blind stitched. When it can‘t be dry cleaned (as with a box) it is glued. Most of the pieces are cut with pinking shears. Her ideas could also be worked out on leather. Crocheting is always a pleasant pasâ€" time, and it can result in beautiful gifts. Table doilies, tablecloths, bedâ€" spreads are the more ambitious ideas. Smaller charming things; include boudâ€" oir pillow tops, bureau doilies, even picture frames, lamp shades or lamp shade trimming. _ Bits of old crochet lace as well as other lace s;:raps can be pieced together for these uses too. Wool crochet is a grand medium for afgans rugs and hasspcks. Knitted afzhans are favorites tooâ€"â€"â€" Now, with Christmas approaching, a Christmas of scarcity, American womâ€" en are more than usually interested in things we can make for Christmas; givâ€" ing, and the exposition we belisve will have enormous influence in inspiring more creative handwork in this country. "Steady hands â€" steady nerves" was the slogan of the recent Woman‘s Natâ€" jonal [Exposition of Arts and Industries in which hand crafts were featured. This year‘s show was more interesting than those of former seasons because it included exhibits by refuges from many fore‘ign countries noted for their skill at hand crafts. This exposition was particularly significant; in that it illustrated Gramatically what can be done with the hands in time of shortâ€" age, and it suggested the best relief man has yet found for warâ€"weary nerves, â€" useful work. Hand Workers in Action Among the stimulating exhibits was smulpture made with paper and scissors; especially charming were the Christâ€" mas tree ornaments and little paper figures. A Seotch hizhland woman and wove wool for plaids right there at the exhibit, and a Belgian lace maker worked on bobbin lace. A Czechoslovakian â€" glass blower was at work and so weres tapestery makers. From Canada came hooked rugs and handâ€"woven coverlets, while Africa contributed wooden ship models. There was handâ€"made silver from Bermuda, shell and straw work from the Bahaâ€" mas; Norwegian tapestries and porcelâ€" ains, Batiks from the Fast Indies and woven fabrics from Sumatra and Bali, brass and tooled leather and »~straw. work and wooden sculpture from Java and Sumatra. This lovely oval rug in needlepoint, designed by Josephine Jolles, the famous Viennese artist now working in America, is not hard to make, It is in levely, delicate colours with a center background in wine.
