AN UNENDING SERVICE.

81 it true that woman's work is never
done? What is she doing? Trying
with all the power of faithful wife
and mother to do her duty. Con-
irving this way and that way to
= make home more and more attrac-
tive. We all feel reverence for the
woman striving to make home what it
should be. We say God speed" 1t is
a grand noble life work, but what re-
spOnsibility. Constant ministering to
others. Is there no consideration for
her then from others? In the majority
as it should be? If there is no justice
from others the mothers must be just to
themselves. They can decide their linn
itations and neglect many little things
that crowd in to claim attention. 1t is
only too true that many women make
family slave. The women who are con-
tinually taxed to the uttermost by I'M
ending service are always tired, and al
ways will be tired while they allow this
entire absorption of body and mind. Life
should be more to them. With a few
minutes leisure snatched from each daily
routine they can do wonders. If friend
comes with team for ride some lovely
day, go. If for not more than 20 min
utes, it will give a sense of this beautiful
world we live in, that hot kitchens never
know. A few moments reading will
bring many new ideas to the mind, a
short poem may express some new hope,
or infuse some uplifting thought into a
whole lifetime. Remember it is not all
of life to live. Work, but work intelli-
gently and it will be blessing.

Terms Ia Crochet.

In answer to repeated requests, says
the New York Tribune, we re-publish
the terms in crochet, and to prevent the
paper being lost or mislaid we advise
that the terms be cut out and pasted in a
book for safety.
Chain stitch or CHI. This is the founda-
ton of all crochet, and is simply a
straight series of loops, each drawn with
the hook through the preceding one.
Single crochet or &c.: Put the needle
in stitch of the work, bring the cotton
or thread through in a loop and also
through the loop on the needle at the
same time.
Double crochet or de-. Put the needle
in stitch of the work, bring the cotton
through, take up the cotton again ana
bring it through the two loops ON nook.
Treble stitch or ts. Turn the cotton
round the needle, put it in stitch, bring
the cotton through; then take it up and
bring it through the two loops twice.
Long treble or long: Turn the cotton
twice round the needle and work as Il
treble stitch, bringing the cotton throus n
the loop three times.
Extra long: Turn the cotton three
times round the needle and work as the
treble stitch, bringing the cotton through
two loops four times.
The picot: This is formed by making
a certain number of chain loops and then
putting the hook through the first OF the
loops, catching the cotton and drawing
it through both first and last loops at
once.

NEW EVERY DAY,

Every day is a fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new.
You who are weary of sorrow and shining,
Here is a beautiful hope for you
A hope for me and hope for you.
All the past things are past and over,
The tasks are done and the tears are shed.
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted and bled,
Are healed with the healing which night has
shed.
Yesterday now is part of forever.
Bound up in a sheaf, which God holds tight,
With glad days, and sad days, and bad days,
which never
Shall visit us more with their bloom and their
blight,
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrowful night.
Let them go, since we cannot re-live them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God, in his mercy, receive, forgive them!
Only the new days are our own;
To-day is ours, and to-day alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly,
Here is the spent earth all re born
Here are the tired limbs springing lightly
To face the sun and to share with the morn
In the chrism of dew and the cool of dawn.
Every day is fresh beginning;
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,
And, spite of old sorrow and old singing,
And puzzle forecasted and possibly pain,
Take heart with the day, and begin again.
Susan Coolidge.

From Youths COMPANION. ]

The old lady who never spoke i'll of
any one, and even intimated that Satan
himself set some good people an example
of perseverance,, must have been rela-
tive to the woman who lived in Sussex,
England, in the days when the kettle
was hung from the crane in an open fire.
place. An English clergyman tells the
story:
A man whose wife was blessed with a
remarkably even temper, went over the
way to neighbor one evening and said !:
Neighbor, should like to see my
wife cross for once. I've tried all 1
know, and l can't make her cross, no
way"
You can't make your wife cross.?'
said his neighbor. 81 wish could make
mine anything else. But you just do
what tell you, and if that won't act
nothing will. You bring her in some
night a lot of the crookedest sticks you
can get, them as won't lie in no form,
and see how she makes out them
The pieces of wood were accordingly
brought in, as awkward and crooked and
contrary as could be found. The man
went away early to work, and at noon
returned to see the result of his expert
ment. He was greeted with smile and
the gentle request:
"Tom, do bring me in some more of
those crooked sticks, if you can find
them; they do just fit around the kettle
so nicelyr'

Wanting and Getting.
[From Harper's Bazar.1

1t has been said that the reason so few
people get what they want in this world
is that they do not want it hard enough.
There is profound truth at the bottom of
this odd conceit. Earnest striving and
perseverance are rare qualities. A little
struggle, and then falling off; few
faint efforts, and then despair-this is
the usual story of attempts to get any,
thing" whether it be physical, mental,
or spiritual good. But to long for a
thing so strongly that for the sake of
its attainment one can conquer obstacles,
live down opposition, ignore discourage
ment, and work persistently and through
years of trial and obscurity toward the
fulfilment of hope-is not this the
record of all grand achievements and the
history of all purposeful lives? Many
more wishes might be realized if people
were willing to pay this price for them.
Anything worth having in this world is
dear, including experience. Genius it.
self has been defined as only unlimited
patience, or an endless capacity for hard
work. 1t was told of some celebrated
general that he never knew when he was
defeated. By-and-by he could not be
defeated. A little of the same spirit in
fused into ordinary life work would
make many dream possible that now
seems to the wistful dreamer as extrava
CANT as the cloudiest castle in Spain.

Fashion Notes.

For all but the most practical and
tailor-made costumes, the neck with a
small V back and front is preferred, and
as rule, is finished with flat fold of
ribbon, crepe or net.
Mousquetaire gloves of undressed kid
in light tan and gray shades are still used
with street and church dresses. Econo-
mists choose gray Suede gloves, as they
clean better than tan-color or other dark
shades.
Flannels for baby's wear should be
smoothly woven, soft to touch, and of
light weight, though not necessarily of
the finest quality, as those partly cotton
wear well, and wash with less shrinkage
than the finer Atwood flannels.
Black armure or bengaline dresses for
middle-aged ladies are made with coat
basque of even length all around, open,
ing up each seam on the hips and back
The straight fronts fall open on a broad
vest slightly shorter than the coat. Mar.
row silk cord passementerie edges the
straight front of the coat and the vest
The collar is turned over and similarly
edged.
