Summer of 1921. DEAR MARY ELIZABETH: It is a real pleasure to answer your letter of inquiry about the ORDER OF SAINT VERONICA. This unique Society was started in the office of our good Father Noll, Lent 1920, to assist needy Missions in securing Altar linens, this fabric having advanced beyond the means of many poor parishes. The idea of donating a piece of linen, or the price of it, "to commemorate the compassion which Saint Veronica had for our dear Redeemer" appealed to our generous Catholics, both men and women, and to supply the demand for simple, practical instructions we published a beautiful booklet entitled: "THE ART OF MAKING ALTAR LINENS," price 25c, which became an instant success and thousands of copies have been sold. Then our members, who were skillful crocheters, requested us to issue a companion booklet on "THE ART OF MAKING ALTAR LACES" that they, too, might use their talents in decorating the Altars where dwells the Pris- oner of Love. Therefore, this goes out with dainty, original designs suitable for the adornment of sanctuary linens, yet always conforming to the pre- scribed rules of the Church. You have asked: "What are the greatest needs of the Missions?" Well, dear, owing to the greater cost of the larger pieces, we never receive enough Altar cloths, and the same is true of amices. The next need of the poor chapel is to have all offerings WELL MADE, BUT PLAIN. Fine laces and elaborate handiwork in a poor chapel are out of place, and may become, a burden to the missionary priest. Yes, we do love to tuck in one good set, for holy days, but we know the plain, serviceable set is what the priest welcomes most. How I wish you could peep over my shoulder to see some of the grateful letters that come from the priests, or some of the interesting letters from our members telling of the blessings procured through this charity. Many of our readers buy a few yards of linen which they shrink and cut according to the outline on page six. A few friends are invited to a porch party or an evening sewing, a pleasant diversion for busy women, and it is busy people who accomplish the worth-while things; they exchange household ideas over their stitches and soon there are nice linens for the pastor if the local church is in need and a bit to send to the ORDER OF SAINT VERONICA, for only when we share with God's poor is our gift perfect. There are many clever ways to pay for the linen thus used. One hostess may charge a quarter for the light refreshments she serves; another bakes a "guess cake" and the 5c guesses as to what unusual thing she has baked in it cause much merriment. Throwing pennies into a receptacle for a prize is heaps o' fun, for you know how a woman throws; grab bags, parcel post, etc., will create mirth and accomplish much good. In case you organized a sewing circle, be sure to start it with prayer and invite as your "Silent Guest" the Housekeeper of Nazareth, whose hands made the clothing worn by the Child Jesus.. Worldly amusements are always changing because they soon bore the devotees of society: stitching linens and crocheting laces for our Blessed Savior have a joy unknown to the selfish heart, and this increases with every article made for Him. Heavenly treasures never go out of date, nor do they become food for moth. THE ART OF MAKING ALTAR LACES Eleven I'm tucking in a picture to show you Saint Veronica's Cupboard, where your linens will remain until sent on their errand of love. Through our loyal readers we have had the happiness of placing 7,000 pieces of linen. May Saint Veronica keep her cupboard well supplied so that no appeal of a little chapel will go unanswered because the shelves are empty. With all good wishes for your success in this lovely work, and trusting to receive a bit of your handiwork to pass on to some poor Mission on our waiting list, I am, Very sincerely yours, P. S. It is said a woman's postscript is the most important part of her letter, so I'd better tell you that the following abbreviations are: Ch chain; d s double stitch; k knit; 1 loop; m mesh; p picot; r ring; s stitch; sts stitches; sh shell; si st slip stitch; s c single crochet; sp space; tr treble. The number of thread to be used has not been given, because a large article will require coarse thread to be effective; a smaller piece of linen should have a daintier trimming. Ordinary spool cotton and sewing thread may be used for the laces, as this does not have to be linen. A reading glass, with a straight strip of paper pasted across one-half of the lower side, will assist in reading directions and following rows. SAINT VERONICA'S CUPBOARD. The articles on the doors show what linens the continguous shelves contain. Every detail of cutting, sewing, marking, and laundrying is fully described in "THE ART OF MAKING ALTAR LINENS."

Any dainty, little edge is suitable for the ends of fingertowels, and for the four sides of corporals, sick-call towels, and palls. STOLE COLLARS. This shows how bits of linen and simple edges, or pieces of lace may be utilized. Single edged collars are for vestment and benediction stoles; double edged collars are used when Baptism and when Extreme Unction are being administered. A good size la 3x18 inches.

Twenty-eight THE ART OF MAKING ALTAR LACES TATTING FOR ALTAR LINENS. Tatting is especially suited for palls and corporals. Avoid having too many picots or rings edging the design, as these go awry in ironing. A chainstitch edge crocheted on tatting will give firmness and ease in sewing to the linen. In a narrow design, 26 inches should go around a 6•'inch square pall; 72 inches should trim a corporal; 10 inches a finger towel. In the lace edgings, allow a bit more, as lace looks better with a little fullness. FOUR LEAF CLOVER TATTING.

Chain 5; make double crochet in first stitch of chain mak- ing circle catch the inside threads of chain. This throws the spiral ridge around the out- side. Continue this, for the entire cord is made of single chain, row af ter row, until cord is 4*4 yards long. The only difficulty is in learning which inner stitch to lift. When we remember that the cord is heavy and double we soon learn to go down a bit to catch the next inner stitch. Tassel for Cincture. No. 15 for the cap. No. 3 for the fringe. Chain 10, join; 1st row, 13 trebles; 2nd row, 15 trebles; 3rd row, 4th row, 5th row; 2 trebles between each preceding treble, 1 stitch between. 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10th rows, 3 trebles in groups, 1 stitch between. 11th row, 4 trebles, 1 stitch between. Into these last trebles the cord is knotted to form the fringe about 24 ends in each. Cutting cardboard 6 or 7 inches long and wrapping 12 times and cutting one end is an easy way to make the fringe. Slip fin- CINCTURES. ished cap over end of rope and sew on with needle. Various styles of tassels may be used at your pleasure. It is not necessary to follow this particular one. But be sure to have the cap fairly short and the fringe long for graceful effect. In case you prefer to use a single thread for the cincture, start with seven stitches. From four to six balls are required, accord- ing to the kind used, the tightness of the stitch,—which is better than a loose one,—• and the style of the tassel. Number One cincture is knitted through a spool with four pins like children make reins. Use silkene No. 3 and when V4, inch has been made insert cable cord No. 70. Tie ends of cable to prevent fraying. Numbers Two and Three are made ac- cording to first directions. Number Five is the same stitch but reversed by a left- handed knitter, and these contain no cable. Number Four is the same stitch with single thread, seven stitches around, and has a cable in it. A long narrow bag will help keep the finished work spotless. THE ART OF MAKING ALTAR LACES Twenty-three mrnm^mm P» mntmtsgrMm J « : i * » » * * ; - P I CROSS AND HEART.

THE ART OF MAKING ALTAR LACES Twenty-three CUT WORK AND SCALLOPED ALTAR CLOTH. When making a fancy design on an Altar cloth, it is a good plan to finish front and back hems and to hem only one END. After the pattern has been finished, it is easier to hem the remaining end to suit the pattern, than to change the pattern to suit the hem, for an inch or so in the length of the cloth will not matter. If the design requires a six-inch hem, draw out a thread six inches from selvage along entire front of cloth to guide in lay- ing the hem perfectly straight. This fabric with missing thread will be cut off when scallop or point is ready to be worked, for this will be the edge of the hem. Sew three hems; wash, and iron while the linen is very damp to give a little stiffness. Run a light line with pencil (heavy marks are too hard to wash out) midway through the length of hems, that is, 3 inches from the edge of the front hem. Ditto hemmed end. Take a 2-inch square ol heavy card- board, mark off % inch around it. Place the design in the hemmed corner first and Twenty-eight THE ART OF MAKING ALTAR LACES work from there. Put the cardboard "guide" diamond-wise on the line and draw four lines, between the V* inch holding portions of the cloth, for the buttonholes. Put a dot at the hem end of the guide to space off the center of the scallop when you are ready for this, and a dot on the line to mark where the next set of button- holes is to go. When all buttonhole lines have been sketched, a gentle curve drawn from end to end will insure evenness in turning raw edges in between fabric. A ten-cent pro- tractor will give this curve and assist in laying off the scallops. Cut on buttonhole line, jabbing in center for safety, a tiny nick in widest part will insure flatness; with needle turn front and back edges in between cloth and crease flat. Measure thread so that one needleful will finish one buttonhole—22 inches will do at first, but as linen thread is desirable in this work, it should not be wasted— make a small knot on the end of thread nearest the spool, before threading needle, as this twist direction of the thread sews without snarling. Start buttonhole in cor- ner nearest center of design and this will give flatness by throwing final finishing to the four outside corners. Fasten raw angle securely with several buttonhole stitches. Sew from right to left, as the stitches do not lace up well the other direction; pass the thread in front of, and under, the needle and draw thread up loosely, allowing central loops to be slightly larger than end loops. In the center, the stitches should catch the raw edges to retain them in place. Put same number of stitches on each side; fasten this angle; turn work and lift stitches opposite each other, from right to left until all are loosely laced together; wrap thread around forefinger and pull gently until the network is even and the corners lie flat; fasten. Finish one button- hole, before cutting the next, lest the fabric stretch. A little practice in outlining and making this cut-work is suggested before starting on the linen goods. To get scallop, draw a line 2% inches from the edge of hem. By placing the pro- tractor's arrow on this line and using the lower dot, made earlier in the outlining, the scallop can be drawn. Put a row of machine stitching on pencil line of scallops to prevent fraying; cut material away; buttonhole in each stitch of machine around all the scallops. Wrap thread around needle 4 times and crochet off 2 sts at a time to make trs; 2 sts be- tween each tr. Between scallops, make 3 long trs by wrapping thread around needle 6 times and taking off 2 sts at a time. The final edge is made with 2 buttonholes; p; 2 buttonholes. Repeat.

WEAVING FOR THE MASTER In childhood's dewy morning hour, Thy gift was a white strand Of Life to weave upon Time's loom with faithful steadfast hand A bit of work, my happy play Some trivial woe, a holiday, Old fairy tales, a prayer to say. What wondrous things I planned. Noontide, as I review my work, the fabric in the frame (My shuttle holds both joy and care) no longer looks the same. My warp has not been placed with skill, The woof not bending to Thy will, What should be fair is often ill, And only I to blame. Dear Master, ere the twilight falls, give me grace to atone. My handicraft is poor because too late Thy love I've known. So, let me fashion laces fair To grace Thy holy altar where Love cradles Thee a Prisoner there I weave for Thee alone. —Troella V. Mills.
