tom of the skirt Is oddly composed of
small founces of fine ecru torchon

different shade of red or Blue. The
trimming is so artistically placed at the
bottom of the skirt that with the undu-

The World a ThOus md Years Ago.

A thousand years ago, and for long
time after. the world was not all the

There it lay. according to the imagin-
alton OF the men and women of those days

those distant times troubled themselves
very little about matters of this kind.

was the little town, or county, parish,

4 Way to Keep the Children Quiet.

81 wish there was some way to keen
those children quiet on q rainy day OF
when it is too warm for them TO be out
in the sun playing" said a weary
mother the other day to her friend and
neighbor. Il always notice what little
trouble you have with your children.
although Won have three more than
have; and 1 thought perhaps you could
tell me how you managed it."
"a very easy matter, my dear" re-
piled her friend. ''Children must be
amused. or they win become cross and
naughty; SO would you or l. Suppose
we we're doomed to stay all day, or half
day, in one room, were not allowed to
read, write or sew, could only sit on
certain chairs and handle certain ar
ticles, and there was no one to talk to,
or nothing but game of solitaire for
us to play. Why. we'd be almost crazy.
ANY one. man, woman or child. liz good
health must have something to do du-
ring their waking hours. Yet how few
mothers try to give this something to
the ousy hands and active brains of the
little ones. You notice children out in
the street or garden. Are they ever
still or quiet? No. 1t is true they find
amusement in the most trivial things.
Now have thought about all this. and
l have fixed up one room in the house.
the play-room, exclusively for my chill
dren."
The room is the large one on the
top floor 1t is all had to spare, and
as | could not afford good carpet
painted the floor and left it bare. A
good CARPET would be worn out in six
months. In the winter the room is
heated by little circular stove, aud
over this is put a wire-screen. so there
is no danger of the children burning
themselves. The walls are painted a
delicate gray, with a pink border. aud
L have wa nscoting that is one of the
chief charms of the room.
.'What is it?" Well. I collected all
the pictures could out of magazines.
illustrated papers. etc., and pasted
them on the wall from the floor almost
as high as the mantel. Pict-
ures of birds and animals and those of
child-life are. of course, the greater
number. put the eolored prints down
near the surface, so that the smaller
children could en- oy them. and they
are pasted on SO nicely that tearing
them is impossible.
Then" continued this nice little
mother. 81 have five boxes in the room,
all of different sizes. These boxes have
covers that fasten down. and are pad
dcd on the top. with LOUNGE around
the edge, so that when the box is
closed, they have the appearance of lit
tie ottomans. Each child keeps his
playthings in the box, AMI it is his par
ticular property. A nursery rug with
all kinds of animals cut out of the
cloth, with the name embroidered I'M
derneath. is among the furnishings of
the room.
My children amuse themselves for
hours in that room, with only excur-
sions now and then to the kitchen for
something to play tea party with, and
latter myself that they learn consd-
cradle from the pictures. as well as
neatness and order with their play
things-"-N Y. Journal.
