needlework and that done by machinery
Is regarded by most women as the differ
ence between an art and an industry.
and each is valued accordingly. The
machine work, of course, approaches
nearer to the model of exactness in
execution, but it entirely lacks the i'm
press OF refinement and individuality of
Its creator. to which what ever artistic
value hand work may possess is due.
There are vulgar souls who value such
work solely because of its greater cost
and because 1t cannot be afforded BY
many, but there are as certainly others

A "Freshener" of Other Days.

To the Editor:
Years ago, before Mrs. Careless appeared on the
scene and claimed much Of my time. l spent
many hours with amusement and profit solving
the brain freshener problems Of the day. One in
particular rcrpember which may prove new to
many Of your readers. 1t can be solved without
the aid OF much knowledge Of mathematics, but
requires patience and ingenuity no end. 1t ap-
pearcd In some English magazines and at the
time letters were written by able mathcmat clans
to that 1t could not be done, but 1t can and
tho answers are not but many millions.
Here is the problem: At certain boarding
school are Is young ladies' who to go out to
walk every day for a week q days.. They are
to go each day in Ave and three In row.
and no one Is to 20 out twice In the same row
with any other. Calling them by numbers. No.
go out the first day with Nos. and 3, but
no day after can either Nos. 1, or 3 be in the
same again. and for all the others. Each
one will have u companions. two for each day.

1t should be remembered that sweet
things are seldom as tempting to the
sick as they can be IL the person

crabapple jelly or currant jelly, are
generally acceptable, but strawberry
preserves or jelly will sicken. They be-
long to the cloying sweets. AS a gen.
eral thing salty things taste best to tie

salt or a bit of nice sweet ham, with

Making Eyelashes.

1t was the Partisan women who were
accredited two or three years ago with
the Objectionable practice of injecting
perfume under the skin, by which the
very blood became aromatic. and now to

Objectionable, perhaps. but still very
questionable. 1t Is method by which
false eyelashes may be made. A fine
needle. threaded with dark hair, Is
drawn through the skin of the eyelid
forming long loops, and after the oper-
alton Is over-which Is said to be pain
less-there remains a beautiful fringe to
veil the wearer's eyes.
