Rice Growing Again in Favor.


The rice industry shows enor-
NOUS progress. John Hyde, the
statistician of, the Agricultural De-
partment tells me that the product
of the rice fields of the United States
has increased rs per cent during the
last five years under the encourage
ment Of the Secretary. of Agriculture,
who hos had experts at work al
through the South teaching the farms
ers how to cultivate the crop, and
has introduced new varieties from
China and Japan. tEe

A BI.ck SILK shoDpfnr Bag.

A large bag Of black silk or satin Is
Of value to any woman. 1t would
be a most acceptable holiday present
One can be made by working the ini-
tials of the recipient in steel or jet
beads and making fringe Of the same
kind Of beads at the bottom. Floral de-
signs can also be worked out, but the
glittering beads are 80 snowy that 1t
does not need much else. Clasps with
strong chains can be purchased in al
most any store, but many would prefer
that the top should fasten with black
ribbon run in to draw them up for the
reason that such bag seems to be al
most elastic and can be made to holC
much more than any clasp bag can.
To make one of these it needs yart
of silk, for it must double and also bt
hemmed over in such way as to allow
for drawing strings. A deep ruffie a
the top will serve as finish. 1t should
be lined with strong black linen ant
stitched at least three times aroun'
with seam an inch deep so that 1t cal
never wear out or rip. When the seam
are finished, run In the places for tn
gathering strings. These are bette
made of heavy cord, but good blac
grosgrain ribbon will do.

A Pretty Christmas Gift.

A new fancy can be wrought by TAX
ing doll furniture and fitting it with
cushions for pins. The cushion can be
full or not, richly ornamented or rea-
sonably plain. Gliding and ribbon also
find place, and the cunning little sets
can be put around a dressing table
with decidedly novel effect Full par
lor sets of doll furniture can be had
at a trifling cost, and the stools, chairs
and sofas can be made into pincush-
ions easily. BY using horsehair to
stuff some and having the cover Of
some loosely woven or knitted stuff
they can be used for hairpins. When
one begins to think about the idea,
many delightful fancies unfold, and it
would be a change from the usual run
of such things.

here is Of fax colored burlap, an admi-
rable ground for every kind of orna-
mentation. The burlap should be first
measured to fit the screen, allowing
border of half an inch for the takeup
in working When the measure has
been verified, press the seams apart to
give one smooth surface, lay the bur-
lap fiat and with red chalk mark the
design.
That part marked black in the pic
ture is dark green, having little light
er green for the veinings in the leaves
and shading in the conventionalized
palm trees. The flower heads are deli
cate pink and white, and the Earrings
around the palm trunks are very light
tan. The ribbon streamers are pink,
and the little stretches for islands in
the distance are in pale yellowish
green, like the shade in the veinings.
The scroll patterns all around the
screen are done in light and dark green
burlap, with small yellow dots to rep
resent nail heads.
The embroidery is done in coarse
chenille, with Kensington stitch. The
idea is to achieve a bold and artistic
effect.
When the embroidery is done, the
screen should be tackled to the frame
with pretty brass nails. The lining Of
the screen may be of sateen or almos
anything, but it must be put on neatly
to cover the raw edge Of the burlap.

In this age of psychology and child
study no effort should be spared to incul-
cate the lesson Of self reliance, obedience
and responsibility in the mind Of every
child. The most successful men and wo-
men of today have not trayersed a path
of roses. Their schooling has been rig

ed to learn the very valuable lesson that
they are to become units In the great
world of activity and useful effort to the
end that each one can perform with ease
and deftness his or her part In the social
political and commercial world.
1t is perhaps no exaggeration to say
that at the present time more thought
and painstaking effort are being exercised
than ever before by mothers and teachers
in striving after right methods In th'
care and rearing Of their children.
