A Wise Mother.

"1 fear George is untrue to met" she
moaned as her tortured head fell upon
her mothers waiting bosom. 'In his
dreams last night he said: Ihave two
little queens!' Oh, if just knew who
the other one is I'd scratch her eyes
out!" But her dear mother had been
married longer and was wiser than
she, and quickly sent the sunshine of a
smile scintillating through her tears
with the explanation that some bold,
bad man must have lured her darling
George into little game of draw, and
given it to him in the wishbone in such
a cruel manner that he was worrying
about it even in his sleep.-Denver

.MorTo" HANG1NGs.
Needle, Workers in q Pret-
ty Ornament.

The "motto" hanging curtain or por-
ticre is the latest fancy among the
guild of needle workers. To make it
the woman who knows her business
procures number of lengths of two
inch ribbon in her favorite colors, or
varying shades thereof, and upon these
ribbons she induces her friends to in
scribe their autographs, together with
the date of inditing, the motto or
watchward which is supposed to rule
and dominate their life and character,
and any other fragments of similar
nature liked.
The lettering is done in sepia, oil
colors, colored or even black ink, ac-
cording to taste, Sepia looks especial
~ well upon yellow, golden brown or
certain shades of green; black ink is
striking upon scarlet or blue; purple
writing fluid is lovely upon lavender
or other pansy tones. If. the maker
Of the portierc is doubtful concerning
the ability of her friends to do the let
tering artistically she merely asks
them to write upon slips of white pa
per, and herself copies the legends
thus obtained upon the ribbons. In
rare cases the names are embroidered
instead Of written.
When ready for making up the rib
bons-varying from six to ten feet in
length-are attached to and sus-
pended from a wider ribbon as long
as the portiere is to be wide, and upon
| which is emblazoned the name, motto
and other particulars concerning the
fair owner. Fringed, scalloped or
pointed ends of similar or the same
ribbon, line of painting or en-
broidery, may serve to conceal the
method of joining. Once attached the
loose ends of. ribbon are arranged ac-
cording to the location of the motto.
If this is near the top or bottom of the
ribbon the portiere is connected mid
way; If passing along most of the
length the waving ribbons are allowed
to hang free. Rainbow portieres Of
this order are much liked.
A glorious bit of color and a delight
full souvenir hanging is the result, how
ever they are fastened. "Purple and
gold and the glory therefor" are as
nothing compared,t to the color scheme
and beauty of a really well made and
artistically arranged "motto por-

"There's a mean side to 1t, too; he
wanted to paint the fence and wanted
the weeds pulled out of the yard. So,
like an underhanded rascal, bar
gained with him; told him that If he
would pull all the weeds out would
