To Fit a Sewing Room.

A most desirable adjunct to a house
where much sewing is done is room
set apart exclusively for a sewing room.
It need not be large, and it should not
be carpeted or contain more than the
necessary furniture, but the convenience
Of such a room where one may be sure
Of finding needles and thread, pieces of
gowns, braid and all the accessories of
dressmaking and repairing can hardly
be overestimated. The floor should be
stained and vanished so that It's daily
brushing up will be easy to do. The
sewing machine should be placed in a
strong light by a window. from hooks
on the wall should depend all the family
piece bags, the pieces carefully sorted.
Shelves should be put up to hold boxes
Of buttons, trimmings, patterns, etc.
A cutting table or lapbOard is Of course
Indispensable as is a low rocking chair
without arms. A long mirror in which
the full length of ones figure may be
seen is the greatest possible convenience,
and if cutting and fitting is accom-
plished without the aid of a professional
dressmaker a dress form saves the time
and temper of some member of the fam
lily who must otherwise serve as a
dummy.-Philadelph Press.

Lace for House Decoration.

One of the most elegant faces used for
house decoration is the Marie Antoinette
which has large designs of vines, sprays,
bowknots and single flowers wrought on
a ground of net tulle. The net is so
durable that the needlework put on it
will last years. 1t is to be had in white
cream and ecru and costs $1.75 a yard
The usual width is two yards. On this
net foundation the pattern selected is
appliqued, fat lace braids, cords, rings
and buttons of white or ecru linen being
used. The lace is very effective in such
large pieces as bed spreads. curtains or
for vestibule doors, and there is very
little fine work that is trying to the eye
sight necessary in making it. AS all
the materials for it are to be had at a
reasonable price, one may have a valu-
able piece Of work that would command
a high price for a comparative small
sum. A bowknot pattern of the braid
or of a white or colored ribbon combined
with the braid makes a very pretty cur
tain border if done on cream net.-N. Y.

Remembering Her Fathers Day.

Miss Alice Longfellow celebrates the
nth of June each year in a way which
reminds one Of her fathers gracious
hospitality to strangers during his life
time. She provides a special car for a
party of working girls from Boston,
different ones being invited each season,
and entertains them for the afternoon
at the old historic mansion in Cam
bridge. The art treasures of the home,
the objects of literary interest associated
with her fathers life and work, the
famous chair made from the spreading
chestnut tree" and given by the school
children at Cambridge, the beautiful pen,
a gift from Helen Hunt, made from the
pillar to which Bonivard was chained
in the castle at ChillOn-all these and
many others are freely exhibited Tea

wainscoted parlor, with its cushioned
window seats and crimson draperies, and
a drive to Mount Auburn, where Long

Wisdom In Discipline.

A will may be broken in childhood by a
government too severe. The discipline,
falling to recognize the individual nature
and aiming to thoroughly control may re-
tard the Consciousness Of moral RESPONSE
bility in child so that no determining
power within is developed and the will be
suppressed or overcome. That such gov
eminent Of children cannot be too earnest
ly decried can readily be perceived by log
ically following the results. We have men
and women who cannot determine any &C
ton for themselves but always depend on
the resolutions Of developed natures to
guide them. We can have no brave men
and women save through the strong will
that makes fearless the obedience of good
principles.
If children are compelled to submit to
anything except as they comprehend, the
contradiction Is based on a larger wis
dom and a truer principle than determines
their impulses-they are retarded i'm their
Development. 1t is the first duty of parent
or guardian to establish authority through
