ing hurriedly completed, would
be more apt to prove satisfactory; just the place to nap in, just the
place to frolic in. Indeed, just the place to add to our already
comfortable homes if we would have them one remove nearer the ideal
home than they now are.

Plenty of Pillows.

All cosy corners and all couches are incomplete without numberless
pillows of all sorts, shapes and sizes.

A serviceable pillow, and one that can be laundered, is of blue denim,
with a band of Irish point embroidery running around the four sides of
the square with the edge toward the center. A ruffle of denim with a
narrow embroidered insertion to match the edge, completes this
sensible head-rest.

An Indian silk pillow is always pretty, and is pleasant next to the
face when one is lying down.

An open-work scrim with rows of ribbon placed upon the plain stripes,
made over a contrasting color of silk, with ruffle of sheer lace over
the color of the pillow, is effective and bright looking.

Any one who is fond of an Oriental effect can have it in the pillow by
sewing silks and satins hit and miss, as in making an old-time rag
carpet, then having it woven with black linen chain.

One who is expert with crochet needle can have a creation worthy of
handing down for ages to come. Crochet a number of artistic wheels or
medalions of knitting silk in a golden yellow shade; join together,
making a square the size of the pillow desired. Place this lace cover
over a contrasting shade of yellow, finishing the edges with yellow
silk pompons placed close together.

Yellow cheese cloth perfectly plain on both sides, with two ruffles of
the same and a fullness of lace between, makes a dainty and
inexpensive pillow; the under ruffle being six inches, lace ruffle
five inches, and the top ruffle of cheese cloth three inches in width.

For the woman whose tastes run to the elegant, a pillow of silk-faced
velvet and satin ribbon is grateful. A novel pillow is the clover
pillow, but to carry out the idea as originally designed one must
await the coming of the season when clover is at its fullest and
sweetest blossom. Then gather the large red clover heads. Take as many
as would fill a large washtub, sprinkle a pound of fine salt over
them, and stir them well, about once a day, until they are thoroughly
dried, without falling to pieces. This is the filling for a pillow
made of white linen duck, embroidered with a straggling design of
clover.
