Girls who are fond of needlework will want to embroider themselves two or moro pairs of silk stockings In tho now fashionable Oriental do signs. Select a good grado of Bilk stock ing woven with thread silk, black or any color you desire; thou with a sharp-pointed piece of tailor's chalk outline a design representing somo cu rious Chinese or Japaneso symbol, lettering or number. These can bo found In any Oriental shop or on a Chinese laundry check. Thoy are not difficult to sketch, being for tho most part broad lines crossing each othor In a curious manner. These should bo slightly padded with very soft darning cotton, so that tho center will bo raised abovo tho outer edgo. The embroidery is then dono in fine floss silk, using brilliant red, green, yellow, purplo nnd blue.

When working, an easy way to keep the Btocking taut so tho embroidery will Ho smooth is to slip a china egg or very smooth darning egg Into tho stocking, then hold the silk tightly over that aB you would for ordinary darning.
