SMARTLY TAILORED FROCKS Are Illustrated in Our Advertisement on Page 8. “ LINENCRAFT” INTRODUCES A NEW DELIGHT TO THE NEEDLEWOMAN Each season finds new styles, new colours, new stitches and occasionally new materials upon which to work. This season there is no new material, but Cream Linen-—fine Irish Linen of a rich Cream shade — has returned to favour and this year “ Linencraft ”—hand-em-broidery on “ Superloom ” Linens, will find much favour. We have found that whilst many Needlewomen are very' interested in Embroidery on Linen they are unwilling to embark on the cutting, squaring and hemming of a piece of linen prior to commencing the embroidery. We have therefore had our Linen in Cream shade made up into Table Napkins, Tray Cloths, etc.. finished in different colours. These pieces are all ready for stamping in any design you may desire.
