ton Times.
If all who hate would love us,
And all our loves were true,
The stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the blue;
If cruel words were kisses,
And every scowl a smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth while;
If purses would untighten
To meet a brothers need,
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave of greed.
If those who whine would whistle
And those who languish laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle,
The grain outrun the chaff;
If hearts were only jolly,
If grievng were forgot,
And tears and melancholy
Were things that now are not
Then Love would kneel to Duty,
And all the world would seem
A bridal bower of beauty,
A dream within a dream.
If men would cease to worry,
And women cease to sigh,
And all be glad TO bury
Whatever has to die
If neighbor spake to neighbor,
AS love demands of all,
The rust would eat the saber,
The spear stay on the wall;
Then every day would glisten,
And every eye would shine,
And God would pause to listen,
And life would be divine.
With the lengthening days of spring one
begins to find time for some dainty bit of
embroidery for ones self or for ones
friend and may find suggestions helpful.
For a photograph frame choose a piece
of white linen 10 by IA inches. Leave a
vacant space for the opening for the pho
tograph at the lower right-hand corner,
and cover the rest of the ground with long
stalks and blossoms of single jonquils or
narcissus, worked solidly in creamy white,
pale yellows, and gray-greens. Keep the
tone of coloring as low as possible. In ar
ranging the design, have some OF the stalks
and flowers projecting from the sides of
the opening. Long and short stitches are
not always adapted to long leaves, and
solid work is laborious. so one may vary
by drawing the leaves in long stitches, US
ing two or three different shades. Such a
frame should have a glass fitted to it.
More serviceable and quite as dainty is
the same design worked on pale-green
linen. Cream-colored linen worked with
violets tied with knots of pale blue IS very
French in effect The Violets should be
worked in pinkish mauve silks. A pink
linen frame has an elaborate scrolwork
heavily worked in white silk.
FsDecially pretty are the low and wide
mats accommodating a number OF pictures
in a row. While often embroidered, they
require but little skill when covered with
some OF the beautiful brocaded stuffs now
so plentiful, or with the new howered bro
caded linens They should De framed IN a
narrow gilt molding.
Boxes for holding the various small arti-
cles of the dressing table are always ac-
eeptable. The boxes may be bought ready
IA cover. lined with wadding and India
silk. and scented with violet orris, while
the outside is covered with embroided I'm
en-. Heart-shaped ones are especially pref
tv. but round or square ones are more cas-
ily managed. A ruffle OF lace AT the edge
Of the cover hides a multitude OF sins. such
boxes may match the pincushlons An de-
eipn or merely harmonic with the general
color of the toilet arrangements. They,too,
NAV be covered with brocade or other
lowered silk.
