Dorothy And The Row Of Pins

There had been a banquet in the hall on the previous evening, and the grease from the cardles on the walls had fallen to the floor. So the Lady of the Mano", being fragal minded, ordered Dorothy to scrape it up and use it again for making candles.

Like ber mother and father, Dorothy had always been in service at the Manor House, and she never

"Linger nol by the way, Dorothy!" called her ladyship.

But Dorothy was never one to listen much to advice, and on her way home she went into the woods to try a charm. This charm con-

"I should like to know which of my lord's young servants I am likely to wed," thought Dorothy. Then she said her prayer reverently while she stuck the pins in a row.

Suddenly a firm hand gripped her, shoulder, and Dorothy screamed with horror.

A LOVELY WHITE LAMB CUSHION.

You'll enjoy making this lovely cushion cover from blue laen, trim- med with three little lambs cut from white material, appliqued down with white thread.

You will need two pieces of blue | linen or casement cloth, each eighteen inches long and fourteen Inches deep. Also a small piece o^ white linen or casement cloth for the lambs, together with penny akeins of embroidery wool in white, green, black and yellow.

Dressmaker thinks you'll enjoy decorating a blue linen cushion cover with applique white lambs-like this,

First draw out a lamb on paper, following the outline sketch given here in Diagram A and making it about four inches across and three inches deep at the widest part.. You'll find it quite a simple shape to copy. When you are pleased with it, trace it on to the white linen. Cut out the shape, allowing a quar- ter of an inch turning all round, fold in the turnings and tack the lamb to the top oblong of blue linen, hav- Jing its nose about three inches away from the left-hand edge, and ita forelegs four inches away from the bottom edge. Buttonhole the de- coration in position with white en- broidery thread, work the eye in black wool, and suggest the little) nose and "stockings" also with the black wool.
