SUMMER FANCY WORK
Potpouri sachets Provide a Delight
full Way of Carrying About
Scented Flower Petals.

New ideas in fancy work are always
welcome when a summer holiday is in
prospect, its programme including the
delights of sitting out of doors in the
sultry days, or when a round Of country
house visiting is in contemplation. for
which a new piece of embroidery is at
all times a pleasant accompaniment.
Potpourri sachets are dainty notion
which comes very happily with the
fancy for delicious. old-fashioned per-
fumes. Our grandmothers used to store
their potpourri in china bowls and jars,
and Of late years silver boxes with
pierced lids have been added to the
available receptacles for 1t. Potpourri
sachets provide a delightful way of car
rying about the scented petals and i'm
parting their fragrance to the contents
OF drawer or portmanteau.
Two charming patterns are illustrated.
One is shaped like a square-mouthed
bag, made in white china silk and en-
broidered with a design Of half opened
crimson roses. A separate case sewed
into the lining contains the potpourri
and can be taken out and reflled at any
time with very little trouble. The 9TH
er is pale blue silk, has rounded corners
and is powdered with small roses In rib
bon work.
The lining is delicate pink silk. and in

AVOID HURRY HABIT.
Il Destroys ThOroughRess, Causes
Worry and Should BE Particular
ly Avoided ~ Women.

If there is one lesson more than an
other that Americans. and especially
American women, need to learn, and at
once, 1t is to make haste slowly. Hurry
is the most destructive of our national
habits. It is the chief cause Of our ma
tional disease, nervous prostration, and
one of the principal allies of the under
taker. Hurry ans worry always go to-
gether. In .differentiating between
haste and hurry noted alienist cites
the numerous quick-lunch restaurants
which have sprung up during the last
decade in ali American cities. The sign
itself. "quick LUNCH" or "a meal in a
minute" is enough to set one to hurry
ing. The consequence is imperfect
mastication, dyspepsia and nervous
prostration.
Hurry destroys thoroughness. The
person who hurries cannot have his
heart in his work, says the Housekeeper.
Thinking constantly Of what Is to be
done next. the task of the present il
sighted by borrowing unnecessarily
from the future. 'Paradoxical as it may
sound, hurry is the subterfuge OF the
lazy. A man or woman who Is lazy at
heart often hurries to make a pretense
of working and detract attention from
real idleness. Little time is required to
compute the results achieved by the
person who bustles breathless1y about
with nerves unstrung and putting every
one within hearing in the same condi-
ton.

LAWN TENNIS.
ne the most of as no doubt.

One time the most Of US, no doubt,
Had open hearts for others;
We scorned the shield Distrust held out.
We met all men as brothers.
With years cool wisdom on US slips
The armor once declined;
The laugh grows idle on our lips.
Or purpose turks behind.
Fearful to lose our little place,
We dare not venture far
To welcome others Of our race,
Men of the self-same star.
Eager to win beyond our ranks,
We trample others down,
And pressing DER them murmur thanks.
Our eyes upon the CROWN
And yet we bear no enmity:
Its life,' we sadly say;
We would be genial, open, free,
To all men as the day.
This armor that doth make US safe.
This visor to the eye,
We feel their weight, we feel them chafe,
We fain would put them by
And when we come to our green field.
Far from the strife of town.
Forthwith in gentleness we yield
And lay that armor down.
The touch of lannels to our skin,
OF grass beneath our feet.
OF sun at throat may help us win
Safe past the judgment seat.

Indian bride Blazed Trail.

It Is told of an Alaskan adventurer
that he chose a bride from one Of the
Indian tribes up toward the Chilcoot
pass. took her to a large and stately
hotel in a Canadian city, and one day
left her alone in their rooms while he
went out a while. He stayed longer
than he had intended, and she missed
him. Finally 1t became intolerable,
and she giided forth in search Of him,
without paying any attention to the
elevator. After a while some one re-
marked peculiar traces on the balus-
tiers and doors. when 1t transpired that
the Indian bride had blazed trail by
which to retrace her steps. Perhaps
she didn't blaze 1t with tomahawk,
but 1t was effectively done. Her hus-
band paid the damage.

lent years, we have an average of

he opposite of what we ought to do.
we'd study health, talk health, act
health, believe disease would take
:are Of itself. And it's much the same
hing with temperance. II we, as
white ribboners, would make our
selves as lovely and lovable, as sweet
tempered and usefully womanly as we
possibly could (and we can be none Of
