MAKING MILLINER's FOLDS.

wrinkle. TO do this it is better to pin
one edge of the bias material along the
straight edge of the cutting board.
The points of the pins can be easily
stuck into the wood sufficiently to hold
1t firmly. Then measure the width
You intend to cut the strips at either
end of the board and stick another pin
into the wood at these points. Then,
with yardstick, chalk line with
French chalk from one pin to the
other Take the pins from the ma
terial and cut the strip at the chalk
line, repeating the process of pinning
the material to the board for the next
strip.
For fold of ordinary size, which is
fve-eighths of an inch wide when fin
ished, the strips should be cut an inch
and half wide. Fold one edge over
little less than half an inch on tho
wrong side, as at b, Fig 1; baste it
with accuracy, then fold over the outer
edge, Fig. 3, at a, so that the edge will
not quite meet the edge of b. There
should be about AN eighth of an inch
space between them. Baste this care
fully.
Fold b over onto a. Slip thin, mar
row whalebone through a, bend it
slightly over the forefinger, and blind
stitch b to a, running the sewing as
near as possible to the outer edge of
the whalebone without running it off.
Slide the whalobone along as the work
progresses.
The whalebone will prevent the nee.
die from going through to the other
side of the fold, thus spelling the sym
metry of the work, and it is not neces-
sary to use the care which is needed
when there is no whalebone.

HOW TO DRAPE LACE.

An Easy and Charming Way to Beautify
a Toilet Table.
Lace and muslin are not often seen
o. toilet tables nowadays, but grace
ful way which has lately gained favor
is to take length Of muslin, soft silk
or lace, allow it to fall to the ground
at one side of the table, carry it up to
the edge at the other side, and secure
it by small taclss, hidden under couple
of smartly-tied broad ribbon bows. If
the table has II set of drawers on each
side of the open space in front, the
drapery conceals one set and reveals
the other.
In pretty, simple rooms it is much
the fashion to have everything in it of
the colored linen, which washes SO per-
fectly. One design for the coverlid is
a powdering of large, loosely-tied bows
worked in coral stitch in white crewels
and silk, with or without frill of
white linen about a quarter of yard
wide. The mantel valance, chair seats,
toilet cloth, ottoman cover, as well as
the pincushion and nightdress cases
are en- suite. The pretty light blue or
pink shades are favorites, but there are
greens, yellows and many other colors.

noted club in New York. Like many
others of his race, he is possessed of a

GuRNT-MATCH HOLDER.


Said to BE Most Artistic and Original
Bit of Fancy Work.
The novel receptacle for burnt
matches, shown in the illustration, is
one of the most artistic and original
bits of fancy work seen for some time.
Its novelty lies in the use of one of the
small incandescent electric light
globes as balloon, the basket attached
to this forming the "holder" proper
They may be obtained at almost
any building where this system of
lighting is used. The globes in time
burn out" or become defective and
can be obtained for few cents or for
nothing. The remaining materials
necessary for the balloon are the small
japanese basket, costing two or three
cents, yard of ribbon three-eighths
of an inch wide, three skeins of floss,
and scrap of bias velvet or plush.
Make chain of from forty to fifty
stitches, according to size of globe,
with the floss, using small-sized
crochet-hoolS. Throw the thread over
to form long stitch and catch back
into the chain; make one chain stitch,
then another long stitch, and proceedin in
this manner across the original chain.
Turn and go back across this row in
exactly the same way, and proceed
thus till a square of the open work is
formed. From each corner of this
square, crochet chain which shall be
long enough to reach to the top of the
basket, from five to six inches; better
too long than too short.
A small circular piece of plush or
velvet should be used to cover the
lower end of the globe. The edges
may be caught up about the side with
a few long stitches. Fold in the edges
of a bias piece of the plush leaving it
just wide enough to cover the brass
rim at the bottom, and long enough for

TWO LITTLE GIRLS.

This little girl IS very poor;
She has troubles, she finds, she can scarce en-
dure;
And yet my dear, size has plnythings plenty
Dolls as many as twO'and-twenty,
Houses and arks and pi-turc-books
Something pretty wherever she looks.
But half the time she's puzzled to know
what to do with the wonIe.i4i shoS,
Tired of dolies two-and-twcnty,
And bored with her various toys aptenty
That little girl is very rich.
With an old doll like n perfect witch,
broken chair and bit of delf,
And q wee cracked cup on tho closet shelf
She can play with only row of pins;
Houses and gardens, arks and inns
She makes with her chubby fingers small,
And she never asks for toy at all
Unseen around her the fairies stray,
Giving her bright thoughts every day.
Poor little girl and rich little girl
How nice 1t would be II In Times swift whtr
You could-perhaps not change your places,
But catch glimpse of each others faces:
For each to the other could something give
Which would make the child life sweeter to
live,
For both could give and both could share
Some thing the other had to spare
