no discredlt to either that the
difference in tastes, in temper, IN
standards, made it impossible for
these three sterling characters to live
under one roof in perfect compatible
ity, A bright, beautiful women said
that when her name was proposed
for membership ia the woman's iub
where her mother-in-law was a meni-
Der, and the subject of her eligibility
was discussed, her mother-in-law
got up and said. well l can say
this for her. She has lived with her
mother-in-law for eight years." The
real point is that this was a compli-

would not have been a disgrace, nor
a thing that should arouse any COM

NOT LIKE WASHINGTON.
A little boy had the habit of I'M
truthfulness, and his mother finally
decided that it must be grappled with
in great earnestnest. Que day she
took him on her lap and told him the
story of George Washington and the
little Ratchet. The little fellow had
been made very familiar with great
men of different types, and Washing
ton was one of the heroes. He
listened earnestly to the story, his
big blue eyes deepening and deepen
ing until the end. His mother
finished by saying. do you
think you are like George Washing
toni" Flinging himself from her lap,
in ii perfect tempest of passion, he
| struck an attitude before her, with
both chubby hands stuffed into the
belt of his kilt, his great Ia of hair
thrown back until he looked like a
very prince, and said, in a high,
strained voice, mo. l am not like
George Washington. / will tell a lie,
but l would not cut down a cherry
tree" That small person had heard, a
day or two before, a discussion on the
destruction of the forests in the north
ern part of the State, and there had
remained in his mind this thing. that
of all crimes which a man a be
guilty, that of cutting down a tree is
the greatest.
This new application of the ridicu-
lous story mas the human touch in it
that really makes it seem advisable to
keep repeating the story. No man
gains whose perfection shuts him out
from human sympathy. Is it not
true that the truest love loves people
for their faults as we'll as their virtues?
1t is the humanity in a man that
makes him great, not, perfection

SO as to form a sort of cup shape. Take
then an egg, cut off q small section at one
end, pour out the contents and cleanse the
shell thoroughly. This is fastened in the
cup shaped holder made by the wire. Then
cover the chicken leg and claw with bronze
paint, gid the eggshell at will, and the
thing is done.
Ordinarily it will stand on the claw, but
if the latter should prove too flexible it may
be stiffened by twisting fine wire in and out
among the toes till the desired frmness is
secured. Filled with matches it makes an
oddity which is at onee beautiful and use,

Blouse Season.

Nothing for youthful women IAN be
more effective or more fashionable than
the fitted blouse waist Of tartan silk,
that tones well with the dress skirt. A
very pretty dress worn by a very pretty
young Lady this season is Of fine and soft
blue serge, with a plaided silk blouse in
colors Of blue, red, gold and reseda-the
ground blue, and the plaid formed by
crossing lines Of the three last mentioned
colors severally. The tartan is cut on
the cross and made up with bias folds
reaching from shoulder to belt, front and
back. The sleeves are full leg O. mutton
style, and the blouse is neatly belted
with a blue petersham band and a hand

bones and tufts of hair, fragments of
broken glass and crockery, straw, card pa

them is in itself an education for the young

The latest thing IN that line is a parlor

How odds and Ends Can Be Utilized If
You Try.
What q fortune there is in the knack
which some women possess of making
overl Did you ever stop to think how
many odds and ends could be utilized
which are now thrown away? One of
the greatest pleasures of life is derived
from practicing rigid economy In some
directions that there may be a greater
expenditure in others.
A plain, somewhat worn black serge
does not look very promising, to be sure,
but the woman who is blessed with the
knack of touching up things will watch
her chance, and when the opportunity
offers will buy some fancy plaid silk in
pretty reds and blues. She does this be-
cause at an opening late in the fall she
saw q black dress trimmed with great
jaboted revers Of plaid silk which were
really pretty. In the dressmaking world
these particular revers are called Red
fern, having originated with him. One
rever crosses the other and fastens at
one side with a soft rosette of the plaid
silk. Deep cuffs to the elbow are Of this
same, and possibly the skirt may be
trimmed with n band edged with jet.
Just one more instance of the instinct
that seizes upon the right thing and ac-
complishes a really elegant dress out of
almost nothing. In an old chest belong
ing to the mother of several daughters
had lain for many years O quaint, old
fashioned silk. 1t had never been thought
suitable for the girls, but the oldest
daughter the other day declared it was
just the thing for her ~10-year-old sister;
that she had seen q pattern almost SINH
lar among the new styles, and SO with a
little velvet the silk was transformed
into quito 9 charming party gown, max
ing Of tile haxen haired little girl a ver-
liable Penelope Boothby, an effect con
sidered most desirable in fashionable
New York, where demure little girls go
~promenading in enormous pokes of Quak-
er gray corded silks, shirred and trimmed
with ostrich feathers and saucy squirrel
heads. One such genius in a family will
devise lean to keep them all well
dressed.
