ARTISTRY OF A SCANDINAVIAN. Of tools the blue-eyed, golden-haired Swedish peasant women had but few; a long thick needle, a' few‘.bits ot coloured cloth and leather, an odd tasse or two, a handful of multi-hued beads! Yet she worked miracles with them. 1 watched her quick deft fingers ent cloth and leather into oblongs, squares, and ovals, thread the needle with bright red worsted, and begin on yet another <lxamplo of her simple oral t. I hen J turned my attention to the plain deal table where the finished articles lay iii a tidy heap. • _ Bags they were—and such bagn. P < '>■ • serviceable market-bags, stoutly stitched and aptly sombre in colouring; dainty handbags, oval, round and square, each quite distinctive in design and co our scheme- conveniently roomy workbags that promised to hold unlimited sewing materials. One of them in a definitely square shape, was made of pale buh leather- each side was hemmed with dark blue cotton, while tiny squares, cut out of pale blue cloth, wore sewn on to the foundation. By its side lay another example, but you could not see any leather at all beneath the rich dismn of diminutive discs and triangles in red and purple, beige and green, blue and yellow. The colours were y e in the neat little tassels which held fh<bag together. SYDAL—THE WINTER NECESSITY. Chill winds bite the cheeks, roughen the lips and chap the hands—but if a little Sydal is rubbed well into the ekin ® VCI T night, these ill effectfl .are* hamshed. Sydal. soothes., and improves the skin, helps the. growth of new'tissue and ensures sniootn, veivetv texture. “It will pay to W Sydal.” •' ' ’‘’‘J
