There are two methods of applying the wax to the material, with a small brush, or with the Japanese instrument, the tjanting, which is a small oval cup made of very thin copper with a slender curved spout projecting from the base of the cup, and with a short piece of reed for the handle.

A family of eighteen girls working together under the able leadership of Miss Emma Louise Samuels of the Home Economics department are determined to accomplish, this year, many worth while things at the cooperation cottage which was previously West Gate Cottage, a woman's dormitory.

For the woman who likes fancy work, Italian hemstitching offers many variations of patterns and uses. It is lovely for luncheon sets, table covers or scarfs, and for finishing guest towels, and is especially effective on colored linens. In making towels one end might be finished with Italian hemstitching, and the other with plain hemstitching. One variation of the Italian work is to pull out two threads of material, leave four, pull eight, leave four, and pull two.. Save the drawn threads and use them in making the hemstitching. In the rows where two threads were pulled. make plain hemstitching, in the other, catch each four threads together, then go over and fasten two of these groups together to form crosses.
