Making Much OF Little.

1t Is awfully werisOme, this eter-
nal talk about making something out
of nothing. Try the best one may,
it is impossible to produce the best
effects without good material, and
that in good condition. The woman
who talks about making pretty things
is. as a rule, an unmitigated humbug.
at least as far as real elegance and
style are concerned. She may sue
coed in producing something that
will pass muster with people of un-
cultivated tastes, but is out OF the
question to make elegant things
without elegant material. Not only
is this talk tedious, but it is inlur-
iOus to the average woman, being
misleading and disappointing. In
the firm belief that such things are
possible, some amateur milliner or
dressmaker tries the experiment. only
to find herself entirely at sea and
something On her hands that is in no
sense what she expected. The mil
liner or dressmaker who expects to
achieve $40 style out of SIS worth
OF material is going very wide of the
IudIhs anu VI UllS ldCU SOl1lC Ol UIOSc
who talk about making beautiful
things out of the contents of the
patch-bag can not fail to be aware.
This, however, is. not intended to
discourage ambitious amateurs from
the attempt to make something pretty
and stylish out of the materials with
in their reach. Pretty and stylish
things may be made without being
elegant, and they may be made as ac-
ceptable, but they need somewhat
different handling 1t is quite as
well to contine oneself to what Is
considered stylish, which may be
done with inexpensive material,
rather than to affect the elegant,
which requires finer fabric, and more
careful management New York

The little S-year-old daughter of A.

preparations to battle her. The bath
tub had just been filed with boiling
water, when the high chair was acct
dentally upset, and the little girl was
plunged backward into the boiling
water. The mother rushed to the rlaS-
cue of the child, and pulled her out
Of the seeyhing caldr0n. The child was
not undressed and the boiling water
soaked through her clothes. and before
the could be torn off the little one was
Ifearfully scalded. The neck, back and
arms of the child We're so severely
scalded that the skin Peeled off.
Mr. Wright at once rushed off to
procure the assistance of a physician
and in a short time returned with DR..
Powers. The doctor attended to the
injuries and did everything in his pow
er to alleviate the child's suffering,
and left her as comfortable as pos
sible under the circumstances. Last
night, however, her condition was
worse, so much worse indeed, that DR..
Powers thought it doubtful if she sur

to her hips is raw.-Ogden Standard.
