and should never have ventured to pub
lish "Doreen," her first story, "while
home rulers are regarded as disloyal sepa-
ratists' had it not been for the courage
impaired to her by her mother. Her first
tales, she says, were written because SIT
was impossible to resist the craving to de-
scribe the beloved heroes and heroines. :"
While still schoolgirl she was an admirer
of the celebrated Welsh singer Edith
Wynne, and weaving a romance about her
in her imagination wrote q story from
which "Doreen" was afterward construct

Facing the Skirt Bottom.

When cutting your skirt, allow the
goods, no matter what texture, to extend
at least three inches below the binding.
After the seams of the skirt are overcast
never bind them-and pressed, haste the
facing to the bottom, first having basted
over its lower edge bias strip of goods
to prevent the stiff edge Of the canvas from
wearing on your dress goods. Allow the
facing to be just even at the bottom with
the skirt lining.
Hem the top edges of the facing to the
skirt and then turn over its lower edge
the three extra inches of material, hem
ming it to the canvas and pressing it very
fat with hot iron.
Heavy cotton cord should be basted
into your velyeteen binding and stitched
on the machine. Run this velveteen GOV.
cred cord Oh to your skirt by hand, using
very coarse thread. The stitches do moi
need to be small. Hem the other edge o.
the velveteen to the skirt facing.
If this method is followed, skirt may
have it's binding changed dozen times
without disturbing its nice even edge al
the bottom. Coarse fiat mohair braid
sewed ON with heavy linen thread on the
underside of the hemmed up skirt, is even
easier to put on and remove than the vel
veteen, but it is so rough that it rubs the
polish off ones boots.

MRS. NJ. s. jerks.

classes OF 70 or more, but the most OF them
visit the school in small classes Of four,
or, to speak technically, "table" at a
time. With the beginners she merely in
str,lcts and helps each in turn exercising
general supervision over all, but with
the more advanced she plays in" herself,
and 1t is a spectacle at once interesting
and amusing to watch the progress and
demeanor of q class during lesson.
A solemn, almost religious silence Is
preserved, the marking, dealing, showing
cards--everything- being done with word
less gravity, and when game of duplicate
whist is being ''played off, the fate of ma
tions might depend upon the result of the
game, so intense is the interest and SO SOL
emn the faces around the round table.
Mrs. jerks says that her career and ex-
perience as "a teacher of whist have proved
conclusivoly to her the fallacy of two an
Gent accusations against the ''new" sex.
They can, according to her, both play
whist and keep silent, and she says that,
while it would be hard to say which sex
makes the brightest and most interesting
pupils, women are if possible more pains
taking and thorough than men. The rule
of silence she has found necessary to en-
forcc rigdly for the reason that IL it were
relaxed determinations, accusations and
harsh criticisms would be tolerably certain
to result whenever two equally matched
pupils attempted to play partners.
Such things are Of frequent occurrence
in outside play, for gallantry cuts but a
small figure with earnest whist players,
and oven tears have been known to follow
the discontinue of good pupil when his
or her game has been spoiled by less we'll
trained classmate The women's clubs,
strange as it may seem, are the more
peaceful of the two, and Mrs. jerks is
especially fond of teaching them. They
are invariably pleasant to deal with, she
says, she being an ardent believer in the
capabilities of her own sex, and she Is
especially loud in her praises of the wom-
en- of the Peoria club.-Chicago Tribune.

The Spinster In Society.

1t is difficult to soc who would take her
place should the spinster vanish from the
land. A gracious lady, tactful beyond the
dreaming of the young girl, to whom the
world Is still place of enchantment, In
which, half unconsoiously to herself, she
poses as tho principal figure, the spinster
smooths away embarrassment, does the
right thing, speaks the right word in the
right place and keeps the wheels Of life
running without friction-to her, serene,
we'll bred, tranquil, aware of good and
evil, tolerant of that which is mere crudity
and inexperience, severe only where false
ness and cruelty challenge soft spoken,
sweet hammered, or possibly brusque and
spicy, yet none the less charming.
II a woman Of wealth, the spinster holds
in her capable hands the threads Of many
charities, advising here, bestowing there,
withholding or endowing, as she deems
judicious. Perhaps she develops in her
own person rare gifts-music, painting,
embroidery in each degree Of
excellence which only leisure and taste in
combination can arrive at. Very likely
she prefers to seek out gifted younger peo-
pie, boys and girls who need that some one
should believe in and help them on, and
to these she Is a patron saint. Many lines
Of work are open to her which marriage
would have closed, since the wife and
mother must exclusively devote to her
home and its sphere Of action talents and
ympathies which the spinster may use in
the service Of her age. Though the one be
more blessedly happy, the other is not
without rewards and compensations.

that home whose worst enemies are they
of ones own household Good Philip
Henry said that he and his wife adopted a
rule that only one of them would get an
CRY at the Same time. That "scotched"
the serpent of conjugal quarrels. Another
equally good rule is to allow 10 minutes
before any reply is made to an irritating
utterance. All this sort of little vipers in
the home nest that are fatal to domestic
happiness can only be exterminated by
persistent, devoted, unselfish, forbearing,
all conquering love.--Rev. DR.. Cuyler in

Keeping the Baby Too Warm.

Many young mothers seem to think that
the apartments in which baby spends the
most Of his time must be kept very warm;
the thermometer must indicate a figure In
the eighties. Well, the mercury records
temperature of IS degrees, and some day
the mother wakes up to the fact that baby
has taken cold and exclaims: II don't see
how he could take cold. haven't had q
door or window open, not even crack,
and l have bundled him up in fiannels,
and see there now, he is in beautiful,
soft perspiration. And no wonder; he is
rolled up in blankets and hannels and
comfortables until he is the most uncom-
Portable bit Of humanity Imaginable. To
live through such treatment is nothing
less than miracle, for the poor baby is
constantly in feyerish condition and
breathes over and over again the foul air
of a nearly alright chamber and Is liter
ally becoming poisoned through his whole
system.
