the introduction Of color in the trim

WHEN WORDS OF WISDOM TELL.

Mother. dear" said frank young
woman to her parent. who had just
been giving her lecture, "if you would
only stop when you have scored your
point and said what | feel is truth
you would make so much more impress
sion. but you always go on and on. and
say so much that it puts Us both out Of
temper, and you lose all the advantage
you have gained"
Moral te'chers always make n mis-
take when they do not stop at the right
moment. Many truth would be car
ried home TO culprit and do good
work If it were not diluted with dis
cursiveness to such an extent that its
effect becomes obliterated. But the
fact is that the generality of people
talk too much about everything, them
selves, their affairs and their neigh
bors. Talking never does any good,
and 1t Is apt to do great deal of harm.

DAINTY BEDSPREADS.

The busy housewife who has a taste
but 10 time for embroidery, yet would
like TO have pretty bedspreads, toilet
covers. screens and other dainty things
in her bedroom, will lind a few sugges-
tions useful.
An extremely pretty hedspread is
made by taking new linen sheet, and
with a dinner plate and small dessert
plate or saucer make intersected cir
cles with hard lead pencil at regular
intervals over the spread. When this
is done. the foundation lines are made
for pretty design of wreaths. on
which it Is easy TO draw flowers or
leaves.
one wreath OF wild ros+N or another
of daisies has a good effect. The small
er circle of green leaves, ard the larger
of any simple flower. is a good idea.
When the flowers have been sketched
stain them the color desired with a
fast dye. There are several dyes that
will stand careful washing, violet ink
or red ink. for instance.
After the designs have been stained
outline them with single zephyr worst
ed. which washes admirably. Wash
silk Is pretty and dainty. but it is not
so effective and takes more time.
The easiest outline stitch is to sew
around the design with simple, run
ming stitch. and then going over 1t
again catch each stitch in over-and-
over fashion. This gives rope effect
which looks Wei.

made in the same way with smaller
circles, would be decorative. and pam
