fine Greek scholar, enthusiastically de

Dumas opened his eyes very wide.
"If only you could read them In the

"Why mott" said Dumas.
"Why, dear masterP Because you dt

"Will you translate it to me2" asked
Dumas, and Fages accordingly set to worl
on the first book of the Had, reading {
line of the Greek and then giving litera
translation. Dumas entered into the spiri
of it. Quick to grasp grand and beautiful
ideas, as Fages read he wrote a transla

A Suggestion for Darning.s >

It is said that the great difficulty in
mending lies in darning edges together in
good shape, and good plan is to buy some
net lace such as is used for canopies or
draperies or for darning in patterns. If
when the knees of children's garments
wear thin, bit of this lace is basted on
the under side and carefully darned down
on the outside with fine thread or yarn the
color Of the fabric, the garment will wear
almost as long again. A piece Of fine net
darned down on the wrong side of table
cloth will save large rent and will scarce
ly show. A careful housekeeper who be-
lieves that waste of anything Is almost a
crime uses coarse net for darning thin
places in towels. It is surprising how
much longer they will wear and how eas,
the work is
Cut the lace In square, if possible to
use it that way, lay it smoothly on the
goods, and with q long needle and very soft
thread follow the meshes OF the lace in and
out, each mesh alternating until the edges
are sewed fast. Be careful not to take the
stitches to the right side, at least il 1t is
desirable not to have the patch show
through, then few judiciously distrib
nted runnings down on the right side
of the goods, being very careful to follow
the grain Of the fabric, and make short
stitch on the right with long stitch on
the wrong gside.-Exchange.
