And if there is ever anybody else that deserves it why I'll give it to them !" Then they both laughed to hide the tears behind the unspoken thoughts, and the mother added a little stubbed shoe and a sheer muslin cap, all delicate embroidery and hemstitching: "They go together," she said simply, and Lynn wrapped them all carefully in a bit of tissue paper and laid them in her silk bag.
"You couldn't possibly be sensible and useful, Phil, so you'd better pine away and die," said Anne cruelly. "Heartless Anne!" "Silly Phil! You know quite well that Jonas loves you." "But he won't TELL me so. And I can't MAKE him. He LOOKS it, I'll admit. But speak-to-me-only-with-thine-eyes isn't a really reliable reason for embroidering doilies and hemstitching tablecloths.
The "rich blacksmith's daughter" cast the thought of dotted Swiss behind her, and elected to follow Rebecca in cheesecloth as she had in higher matters; straightway devising costumes that included such drawing of threads, such hemstitching and pin-tucking, such insertions of fine thread tatting that, in order to be finished, Rebecca's dress was given out in sections, the sash to Hannah, waist and sleeves to Mrs.
In the room were girls doing various sorts of work coloring designs on fabrics for curtains and pillow covers; making original designs for crocheted lace; hemstitching draperies; preparing color material for a primary room; while on a table in the center of the room were many finished articles, made by the girls and carrying out their principles of design "not one of which," says the visitor, "but would serve a useful purpose in home or office."

"Nay, except lacework and hemstitching, but I shall as I grow older.

Gray and Tom are waiting outside for me in the automobile, Mother," she announced, appearing suddenly on the shady back porch, where her mother sat quietly hemstitching a table cloth for Grace's Hope Chest. "Come out and see them." Smiling to herself, Mrs. Harlowe laid aside her labor of love and followed her daughter's impetuous lead.
Some of them have been preserved, and with their tiny rows of hemstitching and drawn work and the narrow edges of thread-lace are pretty and dainty even at the present day. At the rooms of the Essex Institute in Salem may be seen the shirt and mittens of Governor Bradford's infancy.
Then the tea-bell pealed out its summons, and the toilers sprang to their feet in dismay. "So late! And my collar isn't done yet!" "I have only the belt to put on my apron." "All but about an inch of hemstitching done on this handkerchief." "The initials are a little crooked on this glove-case, but I have finished. Thank goodness!"
She knew her father would soon be returning from some parish calls and would relieve her, so she settled herself with the bit of linen she was hemstitching and prepared to make the best of it. "It's a shame my car is out of commission yet," began Laurie settling back in the hammock and by some strange miracle refraining from lighting a cigarette.
At last, right in the middle of a row of these, he saw a large window set in place of the two usual smaller ones, a window filled with unmistakable feminine stuff, and the sign, small, neatly gilt lettered: Miss Tolman's Ladies' Shop.
