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
An
only Embroidery, in all its manifold varieties, but it includes as well such
feminine handicrafts and occupations as Knitting, Crochet, Lace-making.
Weaving, Netling, Tatting, Basketry, Bead-work, Oil, Water-color; and
China Painting, Stenciling, Art Brass Work, Art Leather Work, Pyrog-
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- Worlc,'' THE
MODERN PRISCILLA gives a three-fold service: 1. It supplies designs in
infinite variety and of rare beauty (from 50 to 100 each month), 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
ue
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.
The Most HOW FASHIONS FIT IN
Helpful This last service is especially noticeable in the Fashion Department,

where in addition to sane and sensible adaptations of the latest modes,
the use of the most appropriate embroidery is pictured and described in
