SUNSHADE.--To work a flower upon a sunshade, you must unpick the
material from the frame sufficiently to iron the embroidery on the wrong
side when finished, otherwise the work will look pulled. We should
recommend white flowers, such as large daisies and Japanese anemones.
The sun fades coloured silks when worked in exposed places, and white
will always combine well with any other part of the dress.
MARGUERITA.--As you have left home to support yourself, you are no
longer chaperoned by your mother, and your position is quite changed.
You must now have a card to yourself, and if the persons on whom you
call be out, you may leave one or more as needed; but if your friends be
at home, do not on any account leave cards, but, if at home to you, go
in and see them.

MACRAME.--1. The rose-leaves designed for drying must be gathered on a
dry hot day and laid in the sun until they have shrivelled. They should
be placed in jars with dried lavender, cloves, woodruff leaves,
orris-root, musk, pimento, and gums; a little salt must be added, and
the ingredients stirred. 2. To prevent gnats from biting, bathe the
face, neck, and hands with vinegar and water before going into the
garden or under trees, or near water, and before going to bed.
