Work for Winter Evenings.

Almost every housekeeper has
weakness for handsome table appoint
ments, and it is ia laudable ambition.
Now that the charming winter even
ings, with the CHEEKY fires and bright
lights, have come again, almost all
housewives are bringing out the work
baskets with dainty table pieces put
away to embroider Nothing adds
more to the table than such adorn-
ings. The Honiton lace center pieces
are the latest, and are lovely enough
for a princess. There is one require.
ment necessary to the success of hav-
ing such pieces, and that is to know
how to launder them properly. 1t is
necessary to observe few rules to in
sure success. They should never be
allowed to become much soiled, so as
to require hard rubbing. BOraX should
always be added to the water in which
embroidered linen or delicate Lace
work is washed, for it cleans them
quickly and easily without rubbing.
The center pieces are not so large as
formerly-a small oval or round piece
for the center with rOse-vase put in
the center of it is lovely. A single
American beauty rose to adorn it.
Rawlings of new linen to mend or
darn these frail pieces are best. The
desire and fad for lovely embroidered
pieces is still paramount; nothing can
excel it, and to give as a present there
is nothing more acceptable Holly
berries and ivy leaves are pretty for
Christmas decorations. Nimble fingers
are very busy now fashioning surpris-
es for the holidays. No present is con-
sidered so elegant as piece OF ones
own handiwork. Money cannot buy
such often. They are unique gift,
and not expensive if you can embroid-
err: yet the simplest one you prize
more than silver or gold.-Kentucl<i
enne.

Chapped Hands.

There are three common causes OF
chapped hands-constant exposure to
water or to cold, or to the action Of
some alkali, such as is usually found
in the strong soaps used in laundry
work and washing dishes. Housekeep-
ers who expose their hands wet with
damp soapsuds to the cold winters
air are especially liable to this aff1ic-
ton. The dust of sweeping and other
homework frequently penetrates INFO
the cracks of the chapped hands and
renders it difficult to heal them, and n
painful operation to wash them thor
oughly with a hand or flesh brush, as
they should be washed. The only
remedy for this is to wash the hands
thoroughly, in spite of the pain, and
rub them with some soothing cream
until they are healed, wearing gloves
at night. Whenever the hands are eX
posed to dishwater or coarse soapsuds,
some acid preparation softened by
glycerine or cream should be used to
counterfeit the alkali in the soap. Tie
hands should never be exposed to the
cold air when damp. AS soon as You
are through using common soap, rinse
your hands thoroughly in warm Wa
ter and apply the acid preparation,
The simplest one likely to be cOnven
lent is a mixture of equal parts of vim
egar and cream. A better preparation,
which ought to be kept in bottle or
some convenient place in the kitchen
is composed of one part citric acid IN
solution and two parts of glycerine.

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Pincushions and How to Make Them

Pincushions and How to Make Them
There can be nothing more appro-
pirate for a Christmas present than
dainty pincushion and we give a Few
designs that we have taken from an
exchange and which we think would
be easily made and very handsnme:
A pretty and dainty cushion seen
in shop the other day was long and
narrow, bordered with pale blue silk
frill, and neatly pinned on the top
with colored pins was a strip OF dam
ty drawn threadwork, the threads be-
ing caught together with pale pink
cotton.
Another cushion seen on the same
table was small and square, covered
with amber satin, Ornamented with
bows worked in heliotrope and white
silk. A little boX-pleated border of
heliotrope and white ribbon finished
this exquisite little gift, which was
effective and nicely put together.
A comically shaped pincushion is
made by extending all the corners out
into divisions, run through with satin
ribbon the exact width of the cushion.
Between each division thus made is d
reel of silk in various colors. The
cushion seen was covered with pale
gray silk, edged with pink cord. The
ribbon was a dainty pink, the reels of
silk black, white, pink and gray, max
ing an exquisite combination. This
cushion forms a serviceable addition
to a workbOX.
Another blue cushion consisted of
strips OFF the blue satin, ON which
sprays of violets had been painted,
joined by deep cream lace insertions.
"A water-lily cushion may be form
ed by stiffened white satin petals sur
rounding a small center of yellow silk,
tied around at the base with green
silk. The yellow center should be well
stuffed, in order to hold the pins. OF
course. this cushion does not recon-
mend itself for everyday use, but l. Is
a novelty, nevertheless, and pretty.
One other cushion, round and fat,
was made of shaded mauve velvet; the
dainty lace dolly pinned over it was
circular in form.
