MAKE YOUR OWN HAT TRUNK.
Only n Little Patience. BedticISinE.
and CurIed Hair Needed.

Theproblem Of carrying the innumer-
able flower and feather trimmed hats
without injury to them when one Is go
Ing away for the summer. has been
solved by that new invention, the hat
trunk; but many home mothers may
feel that. after the necessities are pro
vided for. the money is not forthcoming
for these much-desired trunks.
A common packing trunk without a
tray may be brought into service by
providing it with cushions. thus making
n very desirable receptacle for holding
and transporting trimmed hats and
bonnets. The cushions are supplied by
making a required number of bags or
pockets of drilling, cretOnne, or some
thick material and stuflng them very
full of curled hair. Tack these filed
pockets to the inside of the trunk,
finishing the edge and covering the
nails by taclIing on cotton gimp around
each cushion, using upholsterers' tacl1s.
thus giving the interior a neater and
more finished appearance.
A small trunk may be made to accom-
modate at least eight hats by putting q
cushion at each end of the trunk, two
upon the bottom, two on the cover. and
one upon each side. Supply each cush-
ion with two long hatpins for fasten-
ing the hats securely in place. Such n
trunk may be made not only useful
when one is travelling, but also while
one is at home, particularly where
closet room is much needed, by fitting
a thick pad over the top of the trunk
Cover this with pretty cretonne and
have a plated valance that reaches tc
the floor. Supplied with a couple OF
sofa pillows, this piece Of furniture will
prove desirable and convenient.-N. y

The Babies, Eyes.

Little babies eyes are quickly af-
fected by strong sunlight, but in spite
of this we often see a young nurse
maid gossiping with friend while her
unfortunate little charge sits strapped
into a cart with the sun streaming into
his face, quite possibly receiving last
ing injury 20 his eyes, if not to his
brain. Always have littlechildren wear
shade hats during the summer months.
If a child should come in afterhis morn
ing walk with eyes Redeemed and evil
IDENTIFY painful, battle them with little
hot water. Cold would give more relief
at the time, but if the water is as hot as
the eyes can bear n cure will be effected
more speedily. Should the eyes con-
tinue to be inflamed. dissolve a tea
spoonful of boracic powder in a pint Of
boiling rain water and dab II onto the
eyes with a small sponge or rag till the
pain is relieved. It may be applied
either hot or cold. This simple wash is
most useful for children of all ages. and
there is no fear of its injuring the most
delicate eye.-Ameriean Queen.

YOUNG GIRLS LIBERTY.

Years Are "a Womnn's Protection and
Youth j. "a Time of Danger.
That everything in life is tending to
make people freer in thought and ac-
ton is undoubtedly true, and it is a
healthful tendency in the main-health-
full for people of years and self-control.
But no advantage is without its disad-
yantages. The freer our lives become
along healthful and safe lines the
healthier will our minds become. But
before we can safely profit by these adj
vantages we must have lived long
enough to know how TO use them and to
understand what phases of them 20 dis
regard. Because women are freer to
travel alone than ever before, il docs not
necessarily follow that il is wise and
right that young girls should be per-
mitted to travel alone. Here comes the
truth of the proverb that whats one
mans poison is another's meat" The
time was when woman could not,
with self-respect, go to n place of enter
tainment unattended. Now she can.
But that does not make it right for a
girl to do so. The chaperou is none the
less Indispensable TO girls to-day than
she was 80 years ago. She is really more
necessary, for, as things become more
and more possible for women, they
should become more impossible for
girls. This may sound hard and severe,
but young girls must remember that
a woman's years are her protection,
whereas a girls lack of years is her
danger. The very aim and purpose OF
the present tendency for womau's
greater freedom will be defeated if we
allow it to guide the actions of ouI
girls. The danger TO imnaturity al
ways becomes greater as the danger to
maturity grows less. This we should
never overlook. 1t is blessed change
that things are safely possible towomer
which were absolutely impossible a few
years ago. But progress is dangerous
as well as healthful. If parents inter
pret the present changing conditions by
allowing greater freedom 10 theil
daughters they will make a very sac
nistal1e.-Edward w. Box, in Ladies

Lnnn - In Vnrne.

Lace appears on all our gowns this
year, and II seems as if Dame Fashion
were determined that every one should
be suited, for novel ways of arrange
ment are constantly appearing. The
very latest is TO have the lace tied in
knots and placed on the dresses in such
a way as to completely trim them. One
costume, arranged after this style, was
made of batiste covered with mauve
gauze, the decoration being entirely
composed of great Louis XVI. knots Of
lace. These knots are 50 very. large
that it requires only one to trim the
front of the skirt. while two more are
sufficient for the sides and back. This
is entirely new, and for our fortunate
sisters who are tall is q particularly
graceful style.-Cincinnau Enquirer.

A LAWN GAME.
Entertaining sport for a Limited
space.

Entertaining sport for a Limited
space.
A game which requires much skill
and practice in order to win a satisfac-
tory score is played with a cue, balls and
a ring fastened in the ground.
The game is favorite and one easily
possible, even if the space at ones COM
mand is limited.
A circular space is chalked off of any
dimensions desired. In the center of
the circle is revolving ring made of
iron or brass 1t has n shank, and when
it is to be used a large wooden peg is
driven into the ground. with the top
a little below the surface. and into it
n hole is bored large enough TO receive
the shaus of the ring aFd to let tire
volve freely. Half the fun Of the game
consists in having ring only just large
enough TO let the ball pass through.
and the ring must be so neatly poised
as to revo!ve with touch. The best
plan for securing this is to have0 metal
socket let into the wooden peg. If so,
care must be taken that the socket be
brass, if the ring is iron, and the re-
verse. Both shanl. and socket should be
kept well oiled. The cues have wooden
handles and a metal tip. which is ring
shaped and fixed at an angle with the
handle. This formation enables the
ball to be better played thanif the cue
aud tip were in line. The balls. about
one foot in ncircumference. are of rubber
and are very hard; each one is painted
with rim around the center of diff
ferent color. Each player has her own
cue and ball.
The object of the game is TO pass
the ball through the revolving ring, and
the player scores point every time she
succeeds. There is in this game more
play than at first appears. If. for ex-
ample, a player in sending her ball
through the ring strikes another ball,
either before or after. she adds two 10
her score. If player finds the ring
turned edgewise toward her she can
either place her own ball so as to OBJ
struct the next stroke Of the enemy
or by dextrous play at the ring turn
It edgewise to the enemy next in sue
cession. The clever player will strike
q ball belonging to her own team sc
as to put it into position or will strike
away the ball of an opponent who seems
likely TO make successful stroke.
4 really good player will often con
trive to pass the ring. even though j.
be almost edgeways to her. If the rims
be turned in the least 10 one side o.
the other she will play at it with pc
culiar push of her cue and strike It
little on one side. If this is properl.
done and with moderate force the rims
spins round and catches the ball in il
progress. The effect of this suddei
shock is that the ball vibrates back
wares and forwards for a moment, ant
finally settles on the opposite side.
1t must be borne in mind that tn
ball cannot be pushed through the rim
with the cue touching it. neither ma
it be thrown through. - America
