Ing scope for the exercise of dainty
ncedlework is fiat strip of silk, satin
or cloth, made just the length and
width of the piano keyboard, to lie
upon the keys and protect them from
dust when the piano is not in use. OF
course the piano is kept closed, but
even then dust and moisture will pcnc-
tratc more or less.
The shield shown in the sketch is of
cream satin, lined with wadded silk,
or, better yet, with chamoiS, and fin
ished at the edge by a silk cord. Upon
the satin is a musical scroll design in
silk embroidery, with floral wrcathS
surrounding ii. Upon the scroll is EN-
hroidrred part of the piano score of
some piece of music, and in order 10 lie
appropriate it should be a real, rcada-
bic score. not Il haphaZard collection of
notes arranged ignorantly.
If the shield is to be given to Il
young married couple, the beginning Of
the wedding march. with GardndS of
orange blossoms would be an appro-
pirate design. If it is preferred, Il
vocal score, with the words. may be
substituted for the piano score, as
singing is usually accompanied by the
piano.
in every house little articles of brio
a-brac, Photographs and curiositics
will collect, and it is often difficult to
find space for them; hence the pOpu-
larity Of shelves, brackets and wall
cabinets. And bits of furnishing of
that sort are nearly always acceptable
as gifts. This is one of the rare cases
where home manufactures are better
than that which is bought unless in
deed one buys very expensive cabinet
work. In attempting any rich article
of furnishing it is best to have car
pentcr make the deal foundation ac-
cOrding to directions. because the cab
met must be strong, and feminine car
pentering is usually not trustworthy.
First woman has not the necessary
strength in her hands and arms: next,
she has not the proper tools, and. last,
she has not been taught the trade. 1t
is desirable to make Il sketch of the
shape of the cabinet, give the desired
dimensions and the thickness of the
wood and let the carpenter put the
framework together.
This may be Cnamelcd or stained, but

MODEL HIRING TOWN.
A Departure From Old Methods
stores on Co-oDrratiNc Basis

stores on Cooperative Basis.
James W. L.iawo,th's experiment in
establishing model town" in the
mining district Of Pennsylvania will
be watched with deep interest. The
feature that has been found most OBJ
iectionHble in the past ami that has
been responsible for failure in some
cases has been eliminated in this in
stance. There will be no patcrnalism
in the establishment and government
of the town, says the Chicago Evening
Post. While it will he built entirely
by the company, which will result in
certain uniformity in the buildings
and in more substantial structures
than could be erected by individuals

m"ntS Will be made as will enable the
miners to acquire title to both land
and buildings. so that they will be-
com" actual property owners. The fact
that this has not been possible in
model towns heretofore established
has contributed largely to the ,iiscon-
tent that naturally resulted in disaster.
Another feature in line with this ana
which will remove the town st.ll fur
thCr from everything of Il patcrnalistic
nature VIII be The vcSting of the mu-
nicip3i government and general CON
toi Of affairs in the actual residents.
They will select their own officers and
pass their oWH laws the only stpua-
ton being th@t there shall be no sa-

SarH for town of that size will be

Ellsworth furnishing the necessary cap

profits being divided among the COM

The experiment as outlined certainly
seems to promise we'll ana there will

to keep them from being chilled while
being delivered. y pleasing addition
to such gift is holder made to con
ceal the pot. which is always insight
ly. The holder may be of paStcboard.
or, if the pot is large. it may be one of
the round willow waStehaSkctS of the
smallest dimensions. Such baskets may
be had of Il size holding about half a
peck Over the foundation. whether of
paStebOard or willow, Il full covering
of soft silk is placed. 1, is shirrcd with
frill at the bottom and gathered ut
the top edge. Over the top fall four
corners of satin bOrdcred with gold
gimp. At one side is a chou of satin,
from which passes diagOnally IL band
of satin which is secured at the bot
tom by another chou. a similar band
of satin conccalS the stirring at the
foot. The cOlOring of the silk and satin
may be suited to the room where they
are to be used. but for general pur-
poses olive green tones, light and dark,
will be found to harmoniZe best with
the foliage. YcllowS are also attractive,
especially for the corners of rooms.
The problem of gifts for men Is one
which returns with hopeless insistcncy
every year Ut is difficult enough when
the gift is to be simply bought. but
when it is to be made at home. as
many women prefer. the question is
almost insoluble unless one is willing
to give something which is of no earth
ly use, hoping it will be welcomed sim
ply for the giver's sake. There are
embroidered Photograph frames, but
they are rather stale. Worked slippers
are out of date. \ couch pillow is al
ways acceptable, provided it is not
made of tlimsy material and delicate
tints which will not bear usage. Silk
or linen handkerchiefs, with a mono
gram embroidered by the donor, are
serviceable as we'll as sentimental, but
the linen must be fine and the EN-
brOidering neatly done. A newspaper
holder, provided it is strong and capa-
cious, is usually liked and gives scope
