Embroidery Book

Who will be glad to answer any questions reletting to these

designs if a stamped, addressed envelope is enclosed

Price 10 Cents

AS it is impossible to give a great variety of designs in The Ladies' World in

/^ one issue, we have prepared book to give our readers an opportunity
this
/ » to select designs for any need, at any time. Hot-iron transfer patterns
can be supplied for any design illustrated and, if for any reason one
of these transfer patterns does not prove entirely satisfactory, we will gladly re-
place it, if returned.

Directions for Stamping Ladies' World Hot-Iron Transfers

Spread out the material smoothly, and place the pattern upon it with the
printed side down. Then transfer the design by stamping firmly with a hot iron,
holding the pattern in place. Be sure that the surface upon which you lay your
material is perfectly smooth, as a lumpy ironing board will cause parts of the
design to be omitted. Do not use an iron that is merely "warm." You will have
no trouble in making a satisfactory transfer if your iron is hot.

Address all orders for stamped materials, silks, cottons or transfer patterns to
