Decorate Your Piazzas.

In summer especially should more
time be given to our outdoor living
rooms, for such a piazza proves in a
Southern cline, especially in breezy
Florida. We often wonder why so many
homes are built with no such an adjunct.
How people can afford to do without the
luxury of a good wide porch. For the
benefit of those who have them and lack
ideas as to making them look cheerful
and bright we offer passing hint.
First of all make several pretty rugs, if
you have no ideas of your own seek a
neighbor and gain information on that
line. Then easy chairs, hammock, light
rustic table and several pretty hanging
baskets of flowers. Here is a pretty
good hint as to making a pretty little
flower holder.
A charming little ornament for hold
ing growing vines can be made from a
long tin box, such as ginger snaps come
in. Put on the cover and hammer it
down securely all around; with can
opener cut square opening in the top.
Punch holes in the bottom for drainage,
and in the top for wires by which to sus-
pend it. Cover with bark glued or sewed
on, fill with earth and plant with nastur-
tium seeds, and you will be soon repaid
for your slighttrouble. They are equally
pretty for hanging in the house in sun
ny window in winter. Larger logs for
standing on the piazza steps or about
the grounds may be made by taking two.
Make an effort to haye the abode as
inviting as possible for the home folks,
for they are the ones to seek to please
first.

ONE of our sister editors who has just
returned from visit to the Worlds
Fair, in an interesting chapter of notes
cleaned here and there tells of an inter-
esting article she saw. She says, a
Western woman has on exhibition cape
made of the feathers of the prairie
chicken and that it took ten years to
make it and the value of same is placed
at $4,000. She says there are fine ex-
hibits of school sewing and the needle
women of all countries have painted ex-
quisite pictures with their needles.
She says too that distances are great
in the grounds and even the length of
some of the buildings is quite walk

this reason all sorts of comforts" are
provided. The intramural or elevated
road takes one all around the grounds
for 10 cents stopping at different points.

but an instant iol passenger to hop in
or out at his or her pleasure. There
are also vast number of willow rolling
chairs which are rented by the hour or
day.

Household Helps.

Papers shredded into bits make excel
lent stufing for cushions; the finer the
better.
There are houses where buttons are
rarely bought, be cause those on worn-out
garments are so carefully saved and used
again.
Mems socks, minus feet, make the
best of house-cloths and dish-rags. Old
table-cloChs should be cut up, the frmer
parts into napkins for the children's use,
the worn parts into wash-rags for every
ones use, the scraps used about the
cleaning of lamps, and then thrown away.

are detected and if found, it will be sure
to be a ripe fruit.

LITTLE THINGS,

Only a gentle word
Spoken to one who is sad;
Yet the magic of that kind thought
Has made poor heart glad.
Only a kindly smile
Given to one in pain;
But that ray hath been to q weary soul
Like the sunshine after rain.
Only a little sacrifice
Made for another each day,
Will sweeten and bless our lives and smooth
Many a stony way.
