suits of blue tricot cloth handsomely
braided. or blue granite cloth, made

utilize at the moment the excess is
stored usually In the shape of fat.

put naihsook slip over this. Two OBJ
long pillows are 10 by II inches, the
square ones IS inches each way. Hair

The Fable Of the Lay MAN


There was lazy man who said unto
himself:
Il will arise from my couch this
morning with the determination of
starting out TO create stir in the
world. Long have / promised myself
that some day would leave of my old,
slow habits; that 1 would do things;
that / would risel To-day / shall be-
gin!"
Thereupon he got out of bed, and
when he had his left trouser leg half
on and was dancing about the room on
one foot his heel got into close rela-
tionship with a tack that had been sit
ting up all night.
And 10! it came to pass that the man
did things; he rose; he made a stir!

How Petticoats should BE Made.

How PetticOats Should BE Made.
The petticoats should be made to
clear the ground. 1t is a mistake TO
have it too long. If the skirt of the
gown does not stand out well it is best
to have ruffles of silk put on the lining
or underneath the skirt rather than to
have the petticoat SO long that il drags
on the ground. II flannel petticoats
are worn they should be made of the
very thinnest quality, like the alba
tross flannel, and on exactly the same
lines as the silk pettieoat II the
flannel petticoat is not worn and
the short white skirts are used instead,
they too must be cut on the same lines.
The trouble with most of the ready
made short white petticoats is that they
are on yoke, and the fulness below the
yoke is put so that IL comes at the hips.
OF course II means little trouble to
look into all these little, details of dress,
but, once down and the under-clothing
put in good order, the new gown will
look 20 per cent. better than If Il is
worn over ill-fitting and old-fashioned
ingerie.-Harper's Bazaar.

SUMMER PORCH LIFE.

Room In which Ia spend
the Hot Days.

Happy is the household that has
porch. be it one of those tiny, fire es-
cape affairs like an iron bird cage, or an
ample hving-room, with posts and vines
or screens. We need to cultivate indie
pendence about this porch life as well
as growing vines TO shield our privacy,
especially as most persons lack the high
walls which make the garden secure
from noise and publicity. Awnings and
Japanese screens are not expensive in
the absence of the trellis. which, like
the lattice of the orient, allows one TO
see out, but prevents the world from
looking in.
IT takes several years TO grow honey
suckle, wisteria and ivy, but a rapidly
growing vine, such as Madelit, moon
flower, cobea scardens, the new climb
ing hydrangea or the old-faShioned
morning glory, which comes now in
great splendor, will cover the wires in a
month or so.
The floor should be covered with mat
ting, rag carpet OF rugs. Denim. cut
to fit and hemmed all around, is coy
and clean. Straw seats or cushions can
be bought for few cents each, and pill
lows can be stuffed with excelsior and
covered with chintz or plaid bingham,
which sells for about five cents yard.
A table for books and refreshments
costs so cents and can be painted to
match the wicker or splint chairs,
which have cushions of denim tied on,
to match.
A homemade settee, a hammock
swung across the corner, n hanging
shelf for books and fancy work, and, of
course, flower boxes to hem il all in,
make a happy little world, open TO
friends, but shut to foes. Lemonade,
raspberry vinegar OF any cold drink
can be offered along with crackers,
cake, sandwiches or any dainty, light
dessert. Breakfast taken on the porch
will have a new flavor. summer on
the porch, provided it is properly fur
nished, is not to be despised.-N. Y.
