if needlework is not cared for the pref
~ insects can be fastened to the cloth
with good and clear liquid glue, gliding
the edges of the wings afterwards with
"a little paint applied with camel-hair
brush. The other method is to ap-
plique the butterflies on, using fine
gold thread for the purpose; in both
cases the effect will be very pretty.
When this ornamentation is COM
plete, and glance at the sketch will
give an idea of the arrangement, the
cloth must be tightly strained over the
frame, each leaf separate, using small
fancy nails for the purpose of fixing,
and being very careful to turn in all
edges quite neatly. It will be found
best to cut narrow strip of cloth with
which to cover the screen where the
two leaves join, and this should be
nailed tightly and smoothly as last
item.
Having then covered the screen, the
upper half of one leaf should be further
adorned by full gathered piece of
the eau-de-Nil silk, as seen by the
sketch. We then come to the inside
of the screen, and this is lined entire
ly with the eau-de-Nl silk, slightly
gathered from top to bottom. A small
light Photographic shelf can be, if
liked, fixed across the top of each leas,
and a few pretty fancy brass hooks
screwed in the spar that goes across
the center will be found most useful
for hanging the work bag, etc.. upon.
Your screen is now complete, and all
that is required for a finishing touch
are few yards of gold tinsel lace in
sertion with which to edge the screen
top and bottom. My design is. perhaps.

design, but for some pieces of work il
should, of course, be omitted.
For a small linen dolly allow a bow
knot for each corner and only single
flower spray for the middle of each
side, connecting all with the ripping
ribbon. Use Asiatic flo floss in wild
rose tints for the flowers, tender olive
green for the leaves, and darker
olive, or golden yellow, for the ribbons.
Or work the whole with single shade
of any pretty color that will harmonic
with the rest of the table appoint
ments.
For the border of linen center cloth
work the design solidly in satin stitch,
with Asiatic twisted embroidery silk,
which is the best silk to choose for en-
hroidery on any piece of work made OF
medium weight goods, neither very fine
nor very heavy.
For felt or denim table cover or a
lounge cushion, outline the design with
Asiatic Roman floss. which is effective
for such work. A big cushion of yellow
denim with the border outlined upon il
with black Roman floss, edged with a
frill of black satin with scattered vel
low dots worked upon it with the same
foss, would be strikingly handsome
and in the best style.-American Agri

Cooking Cabbage without odor.

Many housekeepers decline to have
cabbage cooked in their kitchens be-
cause of the disagreeable odor with
which the vegetable fills the house. If
the servant would but obey the follow
ing directions this objection would be
reduced to minimum. In the first
place the saucepan should be the larg-
est the menage affords, and must con-
tain enough water to entirely cover the
cabbage. Thissaucepan must be placed
ON the hottest part of the range and the
water be at galloping boil before the
cabbage is put in. and must lie kept at
a boil until the vegetable is done. Last
of all the lid must not be put on the
saucepan during the whole process of
cooking.

pRAwlNe.RooM SCREEN.
Although Rather Elaborate, One Can BE
Made at Moderate Expense.

Although Rather Elaborate, One Can Be
Made at Moderate Expense.
There is no minor article of furniture
perhaps that is more useful in a house
than pretty screen. Every drawing
room should possess one, for it contrib
utes largely to it's coziness. especially
in the winter months. To purchase
really nice screen, ready-made, good
round sum must be expended. and even
then the article purchased may not
prove satisfactory. l am giving, there
fore, practical suggestion for a home:
made screen, which, if properly car
ried out, will result in charming and
useful addition to the drawing-room.
For the framework of my screen, an
ordinary two-leaf clothes-horse will
answer admirably; but if particular
size and width be desired, working
carpenter will knock you up what you
require for a trifie.
Having your framework ready, cover
it with a strong unbleached calico.
This will be best done by using small
black brads. and covering each leaf
separately. The calico should be
strained very tightly from side to sIde'
and plenty of brads used in the mailing.
When these preliminaries are accom-
plished the frame is ready for its orna-
mental covering.
The materials required will be as fol-
lows: Fine olive-green cloth to cover
the screen quite plainly on the outside,
a ward of lemon-colored velveteen, and
sufficient eau-de-Nil pongee silk to line
the inside of the screen, and to cove:
half of the front. l am unable to give
quantities of material in this instance,
as l have not suggested any particular
size for the screen, which may vary
with the tastes of the reader, and the
actual making is what l wish to make
clear to you.
1t will be seen by the sketch that the
ornamentation of the screen consists
If flight of butterflies upon one leaf
and the lower half of the second.
These are fashioned from the lemon
colored velveteen, and should be cut
ont from a paper pattern, which may
be varied in various positions accord
ing to the ingenuity of the w orker, and
it is a pretty idea to have the butter
flies graduating in size from large to
very small.
These, when cut out can be fixed
on to the cloth in two or three ways;

With true marriage there is no doubt
and no difficulty. The parties to it may
be as far as the east and the west asun-
der, but when the hour strikes for their
meeting the whole circumference of the
world will not keep them apart. Some
happy accident-for we all call Gods
part in the affair an ''accident''-will
bring them face to face, and as soon as
they meet they look, they love, and then
tell each other the reason why. Such
marriages are always happy. They may
not be always prosperous, but they are
happy. Poverty does not kill this love,
personal faults make it more patient,
sickness more tender, death more pure
and enduring. Whatever is predesti-
mated is good and right, and these mar
riages arranged by president love and
wisdom-though not without the sor-.
rows incident to the condition-have the
strength of the predestined. They bring
forth love and joy, united hopes and
double happiness.-Amelia Barr. in Con-
