a good many young people, and older
people, too, have begun the delightful,
task or arranging Il memory book to re
cord the happy times they have had anc
the delightful people they have met. A
large scrapbook, strongly bound, with ex
ira strips between the leaves to admit the
pastingS and entry of souvenirs, is the
first requisite. y pretty ovcrcovcr can
be made of denim in blue, green OF
brown or of ordinary tan canvas, with
the title i'll embroidered lettering in out
line or in gold running through the cen.
ter.
The title itself may be as fanciful an6
poetic as one wishes, so long as it is il
harmony with the idea-"For Memory.
Sake, The Light of Other Days" etc
a spray of forgctmenots or n scattering
of the blossoms on the outside or on the
fly leaf inside gives a dainty suggestive
ness.
Let the cover be large enough to meet
over the edges and bound with n nea,
braid or ribbon stitched on and tied
across the ends and at the front.
The filing of the pages will be accord
ing to the tastes of the maker. A girl OF
- summers has made her memory book
really very dainty piece of work. She
selected almost entirely social happen
ings, using invitations and other suggest
i've mementos.
One whole page was given to a visit
to a friend at Thanksgiving time. Or
the upper part of the large page was
the tag which was on her trunk. Under
it, arranged in a design, were the little
dinner cards, and so on.
Again, on page commemorative q
clambake given on the rocks of a sum.
mcr watering place were some sprays OF
the scaweed that the clans were baked
in dried, pressed and fastened in the
book by little strips of brightly tinted pa.
per, etc
Programmes of operas, plays and lee.
lures, dance cards. tally cards from
whist and euchre parties filed out the
page, which showed great variety.
Even insignificant and homely relics
bring pleasant thoughts and a smile of
gladness.
The pages can be varied and made at.
tractive and artistic with the help of the
brush and paint box. An occasional
sketch in water color or black and white
often brings to mind very wildly the
scene itself as well as the incidents.
Another good idea for the memory
book is to have a page or so for the an.
tographs of friends. Even though an ac.
qualntance drops ont of ones life. wher
the pages are turned his name is there
with some pleasant association.-Bosto

The use Of lace curtains in summer
seems TO be 4 question of locality, re-
marks The Household. In large cities
curtains are usually taken down in
May and are not put up again until Oc-
toler. Scorching sunlight is very inju-
riouS to fine lace. With the general
use Of screens curtains ut the windows
are not summer necessity. and many
object TO them on the ground that they
obstruct the free passage Of air. This
is more especially the case in cities,
where fresh air is at premium There
are cool suburban places where one
may indulge ones fancy for window

of tie newer sorts Of dainty scrim.

the decorative purpose of lace and ut

Women Considered "Poor Pay"

"Tradespeople in general consider wo
men as poor pay" writes Edward Box
in The Ladies Home Journal THE vast
majority of sheltered women seem tc
have no conception of the anxieties, trou.
bic, poverty, suffering, privation, injus
tice and positive cruelty which they di.
rectly ndict upon Woodworking women
by carelessness in promptly meeting
their bills If this practice were con
fined to the few, one might dismiss il
with shrug or a sigh that it existed al
all But it applies to the majority of wo.
men. Let woman look into this matter
carefully, and she will be surprised at the
evils which result from this careless dis.
regard Of obligations. Wherever you fine
a feminine industry there you will find O
ledger full of unpaid accounts"

places the services of the women are stat.

Agriculture, by which the great

which the Worlds Fair at st Louis
Can bestow. To this greatest of in
dustries the greatest of all buildings
ever constru oted for any purpose will
be dedicaTet. The Agricultural
Building for the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition n will be 1900 feet long
and 700 feet wide, containing an area
of ], 100000 square feet, or about 80
acres. Any person can best realize
what these dimensi, ns mean by find-
ing field of 80 acres aud walking
around or across it. Any man living
in city may compare it with the
area of 800 CITY lots of 80 feet front
age, each IA feet deep on IS foot
street, and including streets. Allow
ing 20 lots TO a square, the squares
being 3OOx228 feet it would be equal
t Is CITY squares or blocks, an area
of two blocks in one d reotion and
eight blocks the other, all under one
great roof. AllDwing two square

flows an equal distance IN about 20
minutes. 1t will contain about 100,
100000 cabic feet of space, and the
area of the floor space il sufficient
for 1866 exhibitors, allowing TO each
a space of 10x2O feet and space of

800 square feet in all.
