Boys Clothes.

little boys, ana as the family purse is
never very full, it takes a great deal
of contriving to keep them neatly and
comfortably clothed. AS the most of
their clothing is ''made over'' perhaps
a description of some of the garments
may be of interest to other mothers.
A good quality of stockings is pur-
chased, and I line the heels and knees
with pieces of old stockings, darning
them in place carefully. This will
make them wear fully twice as long
as they would otherwise. Skirts for
the three year old were made of the
lower parts of knitted vests and when
Joined to muslin waists, are very COM
Portable.
A dress for the same little gentle
man was made of an old flannel dress
skirt of my own. This was taken
apart and washed, and finding it too
streaked and faded to use, [ dyed it
pretty shade of navy blue with dia-
mond dye The waist is made rather
loose fitting, closing diagonally from
the left shoulder to the middle of the
front. There is sailor collar, full
sleeves and box pleated skirt, and it is
a very pretty and serviceable dress
for him. Another is made of the back
breadths of a dark. green dress skirt,
combined with some pieces of plaid
found in the scrap bag. 1t has full
sailor blouse made of the plaid; so
also is the bias piece around the bot
tom of the full gathered skirt. The
third dress is made box pleats from
the neck to the bottom of the dress,
and one under each arm, extending
a large collar for this also, with full
sleeves and a belt. A pretty Tam o,
Shanter cap was made of plaid, with
two quilts on one side.
Our six year old SON looks as COM
Portable and we'll cared for as any of
his schoolmates, although his two
new suits are made of papa's old
ones. One is a dark gray, all wool
cloth, which was simply washed and
ironed and the best parts used for it.
There are the usual knee pants and a
Norfolk jacket, which is a plain
jacket with box pleats applied to the
back and front. There is a small
turn down collar and belt, and the
fronts close with black buttons to the
neck. The other was made of one of
papa's summer suits, the color of
which was entirely too light for
school wear, so I dyed it seal brown
with diamond dye. The little coat
was a plain sack shape, with small
lapels in front, and the edges are fin
ished with black braid. / do not find it
any more trouble to make clothes for
boys than for girls; nicely fitting
patterns are SO cheap, and directions
for putting them together come with
each pattern. Then if the seams are
nicely pressed and the work neatly
DONE they cannot be told from ready
made articles, and they last great
deal longer than most of them

The financial weakness of Turkey, is
now its strength. The securities of that
nation are held in large amounts by peo-
pie and financial institutions of Euro
pean countries and the destruction of
that government, rotten though it may
be, or serious disturbance in that country,
would cause great loss to these people
and institutions, and like man who has
money due him from parties, sometimes
finds it necessary to put more money
with it in order to secure his first invest
ment, so now Russia and France propose
to l1at the bonds of Turkey in large
amounts to provide means for that
promising country to sustain itself and
carry out its long promised reforms.
The financial problem is one that insn-
yates itself into almost every issue of
governments.
