parents, and sometimes by the physician,
to one or other of the above mentioned

what the real trouble is.
Al limp that comes and goes repeatedly,
especially when the child cannot explain
why he walks lame, is a danger signal
thai even the strongest advocate OF the

Two lovely glove cases can be made
from the following materials:-One yard
each of cream and cameo pink liberty
satin, one piece cotton w%adding, two yards
narrow satin ribbon, either of the satin
shades, or one yard of each shade.
Cut each piece of satin exactly in half.
Should you prefer the outside pink, the
lining cream, make bags, sewing one end
across.
Your strip will be when folded once
along the middle about 3 by Is inches. or
just the breadth of the satin.
Carefully lay the wadding so it cuts
exactly tina shape. The outside, If of
pink, paint with loose sprays of cherry
blossoms, the inside of peach or apple
blossoms, or, if you are not so fortunate
as to be able to paint. make a large bow
of satin ribbon. holding a full cascade OF
silk lace diagonally across, the ribbon
passing around the under side so as to
tie again at the closing edge.
Do not finish your fancy work with silk
cord; that is too much like the ordinary
goods.
Use a fine quilting of ribbon or lace, or
leave the edges merely a neat seam.
A novel means of closing sachets of

from the edge, and prevent the contents
splitting out.
For extra convenience ribbon is tackled
loosely along the entire inside. so that a
pair Of gloves may be slipped in each
pair of loops, and as the loops are ar
ranged about four inches apart the gloves
are not misplaced by spreading the case
open.
A little fiat strip of silk ribbon tackled
near the middle, beneath a tiny bow,
holds the case for the glove darner and
needle, making the gift very useful. If
one has the misfortune to discover a rip
the last moment, when perhaps the sew
ing basket is not convenient.
It is amazing how much sickness is
preventable. How much misery, discom-
fort and ill-health the housewife is often
directly responsible for, and yet how
often she is entirely. unconscious of her
responsibility and her failure.
Many a person who is called a neat

very early in the morning. She is too
intent upon this to air the children's
beds properly, and makes them up while
they are still warm from the previous
night.
For economic reasons she does not air
the rooms thoroughly in cold weather, as
it takes SO much more fire to heat them
again. The consequence is her children
are almost always ailing.
She says of them herself, They get

They are accustomed to nhale SO much
poison from the vitiated atmosphere of
their own rooms thai the least chilling

them into a state of fever.
This mother is a very religious woman
and prays every day for the health and
happiness of her offspring, and yet they

The part which Martha Washington
