NETTING 
 
 ETTING has been done from time imme- 
 morial; the date of its invention is un- 
 
 ^| known. Specimens of netting are still to 
 be seen among Egyptian relics, that are said 
 to be three thousand years old, or even of still 
 greater age. 
 
 Jt is easy to net, as the saying is, "when you know 
 how"; the only art required is, in drawing up the 
 loops, to have them all exactly the same size. But, 
 simple as the operation is. it is difficult to describe. 
 The best teacher would be a boy who has made his 
 
 obliged to use a long, fine darning-needle with as long 
 a thread as can be easily manipulated. Practice will 
 enable the worker to use a thread two or three yards 
 long, and by means of the "weaver's knot" lengthen it 
 indefinitely. 
 
 The circumference of the mesh-stick, whether round 
 or fiat, is equal to two sides of the mesh; the size 
 of the mesh-stick decides the size of the netting- 
 needle to be used. The needle filled with thread must 
 go through the finished mesh, and that limits the size 
 of mesh-stick that can be used with any given needle. 
 
 Mesh-Stick and Nktting Needle 
 
 own fishing-nets with a longitudinal ball of twine for 
 a netting-needle and a lath for a mesh-stick. 
 
 Equipment. — The tools for netting are few and 
 easily obtained. Netting-needles, mesh-sticks, the rib- 
 bon-wound frame (Fig. 14) for stretching the net, and 
 blunt-pointed tapestry needles for weaving or darn- 
 ing the net after it is stretched. A netting-needle is 
 a long piece of steel with eyes in both ends, as is 
 shown in Fig. I. The needle is wound with the work- 
 ing-thread, somewhat after the manner of a shuttle; 
 the thread is passed through the eyes to hold it se- 
 curely. A needle should never be wound too full, or 
 it will be hard to handle. A mesh-stick is needed also; 
 these are of bone or ivory, and are either flat or 
 round ; the flat ones being especially adapted to the 
 making of antique lace. Steel knitting-needles are 
 often used for mesh-sticks when fine netting is to 
 be made, when the meshes of the net are as small as 
 ten to an inch. The finest netting-needle (No. 22) 
 will not pass through the mesh easily, so one is 
 
 Mesh-sticks are numbered by the actual measure 
 around the stick, as Ytt, inch, 5« inch, % inch, or 1 
 inch. The % inch corresponds very well with the 
 "lead pencil" one often finds in directions. The [-inch 
 mesh-stick makes a mesh one-half inch square, and 
 the same proportion is true of any other size. 
 
 Netting-needles are offered in six sizes: Nos. 12, 14. 
 16, 18, 20, and 22, No. 22 being the finest. It is some- 
 what longer, but in width is the same size as illus- 
 trated at Fig. 1. Any of the needles can be used with 
 mesh-sticks - s .s inch or larger; No. 16 needle is the 
 largest that can be used with fjs-inch mesh-stick. 
 
 Linen thread, spool or skein thread, is used for 
 netting, principally, especially for square netting ; but 
 much of the circular netting is done with cotton spool 
 thread. For the net a firmly twisted thread is to be 
 desired, and with some stitches the same thread used 
 for the net is best for darning or embroidery. This 
 is true of Point de toile, while Point de reprise is 
 very effective when soft linen floss or cotton floss is 
 used for darning.

 until the loop over the stick is held in place by a 
 cnot above the stick and on the foundation-loop. 
 Only practice can teach how to do this. Do not 
 ow the knot to tighten until the loop forms 
 over the stick the exact size desired. 
 Figure 5. — To make a square of netting, 
 as for antique lace, pull the stick out 
 f the loop, use the loop for a foun- 
 dation and work diagonally, mak- 
 ng two loops in the first row, 
 followed by three in the 
 third row, etc., as appears in 
 Fig. 5. Although the 
 loops are made diago- 
 nally they can be 
 ulled out to form 
 perfect squares.

 Netting. (See

 To Work Netting. — Netting is 
 started from a foundation-loop, 
 which may be discarded after the 
 work is sufficiently advanced. Fig- 
 ure 2, showing the first position of 
 hands, illustrates the manner of at- 
 taching this foundation-loop by 
 means of a small cushion secured to 
 a table; all that is required is a 
 firm starting-point. 
 Take the mesh-stick in the left hand, between the 
 thumb and forefinger, with the other fingers extended 
 under the stick. The working-thread should be tied 
 through the foundation-loop; Take the needle (filled 
 with thread, whose end is tied through the founda- 
 tion-loop) in the right hand. Pass the thread down- 
 ward over the stick and throw it around the fingers 
 in a loose loop, bringing it up on the outside of the 
 fingers. Now lay the thread over the forefinger 
 and under the thumb, towards the left, holding it 
 tightly between the thumb and forefinger, as in Fig. 2, 
 illustrating the first position of hands. Now bring 
 the thread down again back of the hand and point 
 the needle upward on the inside. Next pass the nee- 
 dle through the loose loop held around the fingers 
 
 and under the mesh- 
 stick; also through the 
 foundation - loop and 
 above the thread held 
 by the thumb. Figure 3 
 shows this second po- 
 sition of the hands. 
 Draw the needle up 
 gradually until the 
 thread forms a close 
 loop over the mesh- 
 stick. Gradually let go 
 the thread held by the 
 thumb (Fig. 4, third 
 position of the hands), 
 and draw the needle 
 
 Fig. 8. Netted Oblong. ( See page 5 ) 
 
 particularly when a great number have been made, 
 sufficient to form an openwork fabric. In the second 
 row, whether containing two loops or more, turn the 
 work and let the thread pass down the side, and so 
 in every succeeding row. Additional thread should be 
 tied at either edge. 
 
 The foundation-loop is not used after the first 
 row; the second row is worked in the loop or loops 
 hanging from the first, and so on, one loop being 
 knotted in the one above it. To complete the square, 
 increase each row with one loop; that is, make two 
 knots in the last loop of each of the succeeding rows. 
 Continue to increase until you have one more loop 
 than the square should number. Make a row with- 
 out increase or decrease ; in the next row begin to 
 decrease, joining the last two loops of each row 
 together by a knot. Finish the last two loops over 
 the thumb and break off.

Fig. ii. Point de Toile, First Process 
 
 (See page 6 and Fig. 13) 
 
 Another form of square netiing frequently used 
 as a foundation for Filet Erode is known as the 
 battlemented square. As many loops as are required 
 for one side of the square are worked on a founda- 
 tion thread. This thread will be easier handled if 
 stretched from one point to another some distance apart 
 rather than in a loop; it can be tacked to a window- 
 sill or table. Work one plain row into these loops. 
 Turn, omitting to work into the last loop of the 
 previous row, and proceed thus, always skipping 
 the last loop of the preceding row. This forms a 
 triangle, which is now removed from the foundation 
 thread. Place the last loop 
 made on a support and join the 
 Wi irking thread into the loop at 
 the end of the first long row, 
 and proceed as before, always 
 skipping the last loop of each 
 n '\v until the square is finished. 
 
 Figure 8. — Oblong strips of 
 tutting (Fig. 8) are made in 
 this way : Proceed as for the 
 square filet described (Fig. 5), 
 and work until there are two 
 more stitches in the row than 
 are required for the width of 
 the oblong. To obtain the length 
 necessary, work alternate rows, 
 decreasing at the end of one. 
 and increasing at the end of the 
 other. When the length is suffi- 
 cient, finish out the corner by de- 
 creasing at the end of every row. 
 
 Figure 7.— At Fig. 7 a por- 
 tion of a framework of plain 
 netting is shown, such as is used 
 to surround a central square of 
 linen. The work is begun at 
 the corner, and the loops in- 
 creased until there are two more 
 than twice the number necessary 
 For the breadth of the frame. 
 The illustration is five loops 
 broad, and will require twelve 
 loops for the broadest part of 
 each corner. Now work in half 
 
 Point de Toile, Second Process 
 (See Fig. 13) 
 
 of these as for an oblong, until the next corner is 
 reached. Turn, and work as far as shown in the 
 cut; break the thread and begin on the other side of 
 the frame, working around to a point directly opposite. 
 Finish off the point or corner (not shown in the illus- 
 tration) by decreasing at the end of every row. 
 
 In using any of the foregoing forms of plain net- 
 ting for the application of lace stitches, stretch the 
 finished net in the wrapped wire frame. 
 
 Figures 6 and 9. — To make circular netting, start 
 on a long thread, as appears in Fig. 6, for a founda- 
 tion loop ; work the loops over a large mesh-stick. 
 
 •ig. 13. Point de Toile. Completed. (See Figs. 11, 12)

Make fourteen loops in the 
 first row; then draw the 
 thread up as tightly as pos- 
 sible, so as to form a ring, 
 and fasten off. For the 
 second row, fasten the 
 thread to a loop and work 
 one loop in each loop of 
 the first row, using a small 
 stick. To avoid fastening 
 the thread anew for every 
 row, make a loop over the 
 thumb, as follows : Put the 
 thread over the stick and 
 fingers, and the needle 
 through the loop, as usual, 
 but before tightening the 
 knot pull the stick out of 
 the loop just made and 
 make this loop exactly as 
 long as the loop above. 
 The completed circle is 
 shown at Fig. 9. A second 
 method of starting the cir- 
 cular netting is found on 
 page 9. 
 
 Figure 10. — To make a 
 circular netting by increases, work six loops on the 
 foundation-loop and draw up the ring. Make a row 
 with one knot in the first loop and two in the second ; 
 repeat around. In succeeding rows make two knots 
 in each of the previous increases ; that is, increase

 ( See page S ) 
 
 by one loop. The cut shows the work in process. 
 As the net should be very tight and firm when the 
 different stitches are being made, a metal frame 
 should be used, and it should correspond in size and 
 shape with the piece of work that is to be done. 
 The frames are sold, wrapped 
 with wadding and ribbon, all 
 ready for the work to be at- 
 tached. These frames are to 
 be had in six different sizes : 
 Nos. 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20. 
 No. to is 4->8 inches square 
 (inside measure) ; No. 12 is 
 4J4 inches; No. 14 is 6 inches; 
 No. 16 is 6H inches ; No. 18 
 is 7 l /i inches; No. 20 is 8 inches. 
 The frame must be selected 
 fully as large, if not a little 
 larger than the measure of 
 the net when it is stretched 
 to its utmost. The illustration 
 (Fig. 14) shows clearly how 
 the net is to be overcast into 
 the frame. If one has not 
 the frame of suitable size, a 
 larger frame can be made to 
 serve as well ; if the overcast- 
 ing stitches are longer they 
 will hold as securely. The 
 beauty of the work consists 
 in the perfect evenness and 
 uniformity of the net, and of 
 each individual mesh of which 
 it is composed. 
 
 Figures 11 to 14 inclusive 
 — Figure 14, shows the 
 frame with net overcast in 
 place and weaving begun. The 
 first stitcli given is "Point de 
 toile," linen stitch, or weaving

 back and forth only once. 
 Figure 15. — Any design 
 must be carefully studied be- 
 fore beginning, to decide in 
 which direction to proceed. 
 Figure 15 makes a good study. 
 After tying the thread to the 
 mesh, leaving a few inches to 
 be fastened afterward, the nee- 
 dle (with blunt point) passes 
 invariably over a thread and 
 under a thread, whether in a 
 straight line or turning around 
 a corner of mesh ( see needle. 
 Fig. 13) or turning straight 
 back to fill the mesh with the 
 second thread or crossing these 
 with two rows of weaving. 
 Every effort should be made 
 
 stitch it might be 
 called. Figure II, 
 page 5, shows the 
 first process, darn- 
 ing back and forth; 
 Fig. 12 shows the 
 second process ; and 
 Fig. 13 shows com- 
 pleted stitch. In the 
 first two illustra- 
 tions the meshes 
 are large and the 
 darning 
 back and 
 forth is re- 
 p e a t e d , 
 making 
 four threads 
 each way ; 
 in the com- 
 pleted work, 
 Fig. 13 and

 15 on page 
 6, the thread 
 is woven

 to connect the design where possible, but it is allowed 
 to carry the thread to an isolated mesh, or a small 
 bit that is not connected with any part of the design, 
 by overcasting along the meshes between ; but even 
 in this carrying the thread, the rule of "over one and 
 under one" still holds.

 Upon the size of the mesh and thread depends the 
 number of times the thread is carried back and 
 forth ; the mesh should be well tilled. 
 
 Figure 17 is known as "Point d'esprit," and the 
 first and second processes are clearly shown in the 
 illustration. 
 
 Figures 18, 19, and 20 give first and second proc- 
 esses and completed figure of "Etoile" or "Star." 
 
 Figure 21. — "Brides with Rosettes" of simple and 
 alternate weaving are given at Fig. 21. By carefully 
 noting the work of each needle, it can be readily 
 understood. 
 
 Figure 22. — In Fig. 22, which is called "Dents" — 
 Point de reprise, the "tooth" is made by drawing 
 a thread from the corner of a mesh to the middle of 
 the opposite side, back to the adjacent corner of the 
 same mesh, back to the middle again, then darned in 
 Point de reprise 
 
 Figure 23 is another "Ftoile" made with "Point de 
 feston" or "buttonhoje-stitch." One buttonhole-stitch 
 is made each time across the base of the points, and 
 two buttonhole-stitches together up each side line. 
 
 Figure 24 is a good example of "Coins" — Point de 
 reprise. The "Brides," or twisted bars, are placed 
 lirst. then the darning extends back and forth around 
 live threads at each "corner." 
 
 Figure 25 is called "Filet Serti." A fine instance of 
 this is to be found in the grape-leaves of No. 619. 
 pane 24. If the thread that "surrounds" these corners 
 is heavier than the weaving thread, it is called "Filet 
 Richelieu." 
 
 Figures 26 and 27 are "Feuilles" — Point de reprise. 
 The foundation threads are drawn and the darning of 
 the "leaves" is made over two groups of threads in 
 
 one leaf and over three groups 
 in the other. This work is 
 sometimes called "Guipure." 
 
 Figure 28, shows Point de 
 toile completed and embroid- 
 ered "Point de poste," in process 
 and completed. 
 
 Figure 29 is Border of "Point 
 de feston" ; any straight or bat- 
 tlemented border or edge of 
 points along a diagonal may be 
 finished with buttonhole-stitch 
 after two or more threads of 
 darning strengthen the outline 
 Figure 30 — Additional direc- 
 tions are offered for a practical 
 foundation for Circular netting 
 (see Fig. 30) ; a foundation one 
 can use indefinitely without the 
 work of setting up each piece. There are 
 difficulties to overcome in setting up a round 
 piece over a straight cord, and the fact of 
 using the same foundation for any number 
 or pieces makes it desirable. The rough or 
 uneven appearance near the beginning shows 
 where dozens of doilies have been cut off. 
 
 Sew up a small strip of muslin and hem 
 both ends ; in the edge of one hem cut several 
 
 OUNDATION FOR CIRCULAR 
 
slots, into this hem run a 
 cord, bringing it up 
 through every slot ; now 
 tie all the loops together 
 (thread three or four 
 inches long from edge of 
 muslin to knot), and drop 
 it over the head of the 
 clamp which holds the em- 
 broidery hoops. This, at- 
 tached to a low table, will

 are nearly always suffi- 
 cient for all fine netting. 
 When the piece is finished 
 cut it from the foundation 
 as many squares from the 
 first row as it requires; 
 with a pin pick off the su- 
 perfluous knots and gather 
 it up on a bit of the net- 
 ting thread. 
 
 hold the work very firmly, and the loops coming at 
 intervals from the muslin, the work will pull evenly. 
 Begin the work by netting into the lower hem of the 
 muslin, making the first row with a sewing or darning 
 needle. Net two or more rows before beginning the 
 piece; these rows can be made with any size mesh- 
 stick at hand, steel knitting-needles of various sizes

 Number 604. Doily. — This doily is about 7 inches 
 in diameter. It is woven and darned with the stitches 
 of No. 6oi, page 10, and the outer edge is buttonholed 
 after the edge is woven. While the cut is not quite 
 actual size, yet it is large enough to copy without a 
 block pattern. A little caution might be given, since 
 there are several slight inaccuracies in the weaving. 
 This is often found to be the case in much of the old 
 work ; it does not detract from its beauty, but one may 
 be misled if they begin to follow the pattern, taking for 
 granted that all four figures are exactly alike. The 
 corrected pattern is given in Priscilla Filet Crochet 
 Book, No. 1, Fig. 43, page 22.

 long and 13 inches wide. Four Filet squares (53 
 meshes) are combined with thirteen hemstitched, 
 embroidered panels and ten square medallions of 
 Cluny. The Filet squares measure 6~y$ inches, the 
 patterns of which are given at Figs. 103 and 104, 
 page 45, and Figs. 113 and 114, page 48. The thir- 
 teen linen panels are finished 6^ inches by 3 3-16 ; 
 the ten Cluny squares measure 3 3-16 inches. In all 
 Mich pieces as this, the net should be made first, the 
 required number of meshes for the design; the linens 
 finished to correspond in length with the net, and in 
 
 width with the Cluny. A little variation in making 
 the net is allowed if the linen panels are finished 
 afterward the same measure.

 The straight collar of this yoke is made in square 
 netting, over knitting-needle. Follow directions for 
 Fig. 8, page 4, making the strip 20 meshes wide, or 
 about 2J/2 inches high, and as long as the required 
 measure. When completed, run foundation thread the 
 length of the collar and without breaking the thread, 
 net 1 in every other stitch at the bottom of the collar,

The net should be well stretched in a frame before 
 beginning these stitches. After this is completed, 
 Point de feston (buttonhole-stitch) is finished around 
 the edge and the superfluous meshes cut away. In 
 the net there are 3 l A meshes to an inch, or 10 meshes 
 to .5 inches. The mesh-stick should be 5« of an inch, 
 and netting-needle No. 14 or 16. Number 40 linen lace 
 thread is used for the stitches, and the same thread 
 
 of a mesh, where it is necessary to leave the needle 
 at the opposite side of the mesh, then five threads 
 complete the weaving. 
 
 Number 611. Centrepiece. — This centre is 26 inches 
 in diameter, embroidered in eyelet and ladder work. 
 One 3-inch insert of Filet is used. For this a 31-mesh 
 net and 27-mesh initial may be substituted, or the 
 
 No. 610. Filet Centrepiece. ( See page 16) 
 
 (or perhaps No. 35) for the net, as may be preferred. 
 It is rarely one finds as nearly perfect a piece of 
 work as this beautiful centrepiece; the net is made 
 with the utmost precision, and the stitches are exquis- 
 itely placed, with the same precision and uniformity. 
 In the Point de toile, six threads are woven in each 
 mesh ; the large meshes require more weaving than 
 smaller meshes where the rule is two threads each 
 way in a mesh. There is an exception at the corner 
 
 design Fig. 49, on page 17. may be used. A square 
 somewhat larger would not crowd the eyelet-work of 
 the stnmpedMinen. The edge is of Cluny, but might 
 be made of Filet lace like that of No. 612. 
 
 Number 612. Centrepiece. — This is 26 inches in 
 diameter. There are four Filet inserts, each 3 inches 
 square : these may be made like the illustration, 1 1 
 meshes to 3 inches and woven in pattern Fig. 5".

 three different designs are suggested. The border is 
 made in the same manner as the lace on page 10, and 
 woven with pattern Fig. 38, page 17. It should be 
 held slightly full in sewing on. 
 
 Number 613. Centrepiece. — This is of square and 
 circular netting. Materials. — Number 40 linen spool 
 (bread; No. r2 knitting-needle; Yz, H, and % mesh- 
 sticks (called "small," "medium" 
 and "large"); netting - needle 
 No. (6. 
 
 Net ^5 stitches on foundation 
 thread; widen in last stitch of 
 each row, by netting in 2 stitches, 
 until there are 75 meshes across. 
 Net J5 rows without any widen- 
 ing. Now narrow by netting the 
 last two stitches of each row to- 
 gether until there are 25 meshes left. 
 
 This completes the octagon net; 
 it is now ready for the border, 
 which is made as follows : 1st 
 row — Net r stitch in each mesh, 
 over knitting-needle, except at the 
 corners, where 2 should be netted 
 in the same mesh to give needed 
 fulness. _'</, 3d, and ///; rows —

 every mesh. Sill to I2th rows, in-

 same thread, of which the net is made, can be used.

 Point de toile on a 35-mesh square. The initial is 
 27 meshes high; the complete alphabet is given ori 
 pages 46 and 47, Fig. 109.

 side up, on a piece of stiff paper and with a needle 
 and cotton catch the long loops of uth round to- 
 gether in groups of four, tying them as in drawn- 
 work. Care must be taken to leave the cotton loose 
 enough between the groups to prevent the work from 
 drawing when removed from the paper. 
 
 If a smaller centrepiece is wanted, use a smaller 
 linen centre. Dainty doilies may be made to match 
 this centre by using the first 5 and the last 7 round-.. 
 Another style may l>e made by using the first 8 and 
 the last 3 rounds. Still another by using 1st. 9th, 
 
 10th, nth, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and last 3 rounds. 
 
 Number 616. Table-Cover. — This beautiful piece 
 is 1J-2 yards square, with a border of Filet lace 4'_. 
 inches wide. 
 
 The cover is composed of 36 Filet squares, each y'/i 
 inches. Six designs and six repeats of each design 
 are used; the six designs are given on page 23. These 
 are _>5-mesh squares, embroidered with the stitches 
 explained in the preceding lessons; the illustrations 
 on page 23 are large enough -that the stitches may be 
 copied without further directions. Any other arrange- 
 ment of the squares may be made. The mesh is 3-10 
 of an inch, requiring a mesh-stick 3-5 of an inch in

 a very coarse thread (about the size of No. 2 Cor- 
 donnet), and mesh-stick about % of an inch (or to 
 be exact, 2 /s of an inch) makes a net, the size of which 
 is seen at Fig.- 62, page 31, a detail of the Gros Filet. 
 The thread for weaving is soft and loose, and is 
 clearly shown in the detail of work. 
 
 One-half of the pattern is given, including the cen- 
 tral mesh. One hundred and thirty-three meshes is 
 the size, but if several meshes are added, it is easier 
 
 to finish the 
 edge and cut 
 away one or 
 two rows of 
 meshes. Num- 
 ber 12 net- 
 ting - needle 
 and % - inch 
 (or Y{) mesh-

 or a blunt-pointed tapestry needle may be used.

 Magazine 
 
 For Women 
 
 There are many mag- 
 azines devoted to 
 stories, many others 
 rilled with miscellane- 
 ous matter of more or 
 less value and general 
 interest; but there is 
 just one magazine that 
 specializes in the two 
 subjects most closely 
 associated with the 
 average woman's daily 
 life — "Fancy -Work" 
 and "Housekeeping" 
 — with just enough 
 clever, wholesome fic- 
 tion added to give 
 zest. That magazine is 
 
 The Modern Priscilla. 
 
 WHAT "FANCY-WORK" MEANS 
 
 When they see or hear the word "Fancy- Work," many people think 
 only of Art Needlework. But as used by The Modern Priscilla, the 
 expression "Fancy- Work" has a much broader meaning. It includes not 
 only Embroidery, in all its manifold varieties, but it includes as well such 
 feminine handicrafts and occupations as Knitting, Cri hot, Lace-making, 
 Weaving, Netting, Tatting, Basketry, Bead-work, Oil, Water-color, and 
 China Painting, Stenciling, A rl Brass Work, Art Leatht r Work. 1'yruy- 
 raphy, and the like. 
 
 In The Modern Priscilla space is devoted to all these subjects from 
 time to time, and no other magazine covers them half so thoroughly. 
 
 WHAT PRISCILLA GIVES 
 
 In connection with what is broadly termed "Fancy-Work," The 
 Modern Priscilla gives a threefold service . 1. It supplies designs in 
 infinite variety and of rare beauty {from 50 to 100 each month l f with pat- 
 terns for those who desire them. 2. It gives detailed and explicit in- 
 struction, so clear and complete that any woman of average intelligence 
 can gain proficiency in the work that most appeals to her. 3. It provides 
 a wealth of suggestions for the practical use and application of the knowl- 
 edge thus gained. 
 
 HOW FASHIONS FIT IN 
 
 This last service is especially noticeable in the Fash ion Department, 
 where in addition to sane and sensible adaptations of the latest mode*. 
 the use of the most appropriate embroidery is pictured and described in 
 connection with each costume illustrated. 
 
 HOW PRISCILLA SAVES ITS COST 
 
 "Fancy-Work" it will now be seen, at least the "Fancy-Work" that 
 The Modern Priscilla stands for, is no frivolous occupation for idle 
 hours, but a decidedly useful occupation, that will supply at small cost 
 many a dainty bit of wearing apparel or household decoration that could 
 otherwise be had only at considerable expense, or perhaps could not be 
 afforded at all. 
 
 Many a subscriber has gratefully acknowledged this debt to Priscilla, 
 more than a few asserting that asingle copy has often suggested econ- 
 omies amounting to more than the year's subscription price. 
 
 HOW A GOOD MAGAZINE WAS MADE BETTER 
 
 Much as can truthfully be said about the "Fan . alue of 
 
 The Modern Priscilla, scarcely half the story has been told. 
 
 In 1911 the publishers of The Modern Priscilla purchased the well 
 known domestic science magazine called " Everyday Housekeeping," and 
 indue season merged it with their older publication, making what has 
 well been called a "Double Value Magazine ." 
 
 THE MISSION OF "EVERYDAY HOUSEKEEPING" 
 
 "Everyday Housekeeping" is now a distinct and-«eparate section of 
 The Modern Priscilla, and it is the aim of the edito: "f the 
 
 greatest possible helpfulness to Priscilla readers. 
 
 Its recipes are economical, appetizing and nourishing, its special 
 articles are authoritative and deal with practical subjects, its hints, helps 
 and suggestions are gleaned from the experience of housekeepers the 
 country over. 
 
 THE PRICE SMALL— THE VALUE UNUSUAL 
 
 When all the foregoing is considered, even the most critical must ad 
 mit that at SI .00 a year The Modern Priscilla is an exceptional value 
 (Canadian subscription price.^1.25) and that its steady growth in circu- 
 lation from a few hundred copni ' 00 to-day is 
 
 but the natural outcome of its policy of helpfuln 
 
 The news-stand price of The Modern Pi: cents a copy. 
 
 Orders for subscriptions should be sent to The Priscilla Publishing Com- 
 pany, 85 Broad Street, Boston, Mass.
