lingerie sachets-and may, in fact, be

sachet can serve.
The narcissus and pansy sachets here
pictured require one-inch satin ribbon.
The narcissus petals, of white ribbon,
are cut nearly an inch and a half long,
and the rounded portions, which end
10 very slight points, should start lit

square ends are then carefully turned

and the center are then shirred together
and fastened firmly to a tiny sachet,

long. 1t is made of white satin ribbon,
of course, and is solidly packed with
sachet powder. In the pansy ones own

ing four by five inches, made of rib
bon and lightly wadded. A daisy may
be fashioned on the same plan, in four
inch ribbon, either yellow or white.
Two strips of ribbon six inches long
are used, the petals shaped like those

The heart-shaped corsage sachet OF
white satin is to wear around the neck

This should be placed in dainty heart

this order consists of two pads about
two inches square with small bow in
the center of each. They are fastened
to the ends of strip of baby ribbon.

ENEMY OF GIRLHOOD.
ton of sweet Seventeen and
Doctors Call 1t Anemia.

Health controls the complexion
throughout the whole course of exist
ence, but perhaps never more palpably
than about the age OF IL.
Anemia is the greatest enemy OF
beautiful complexion that girlhood can
encounter. 1t results in pallor, in
bIemishes, such as spots and blackheads,
and in that general appearance OF DELI
cacy that should be complete stranger
to youth. Unfortunately just about the
age now under consideration girls are
so busy over their books and so eager
to excel in their school examinations
that instead OF aiding and abetting their
elders to improve their anemic state,
and so to alter their muddy and unat-
tractive compilations, they do all they
can to further the inroads of weakness
by working indoors too much and stay
ing up too late at nights.
The anemic girl, whether she must
work at her books or not, must be
dosed with iron for months and mona tbs.
It is the paucity of iron in her system
that makes her lack of color in her
cheeks. There are several well-known
preparations of iron that will suit the
sufferer, but it is always well, if possible,
to consult doctor as to the most eff
cacious one to be had in pills and in So
luton. Iron can be taken in pills
for the sake of the teeth, and in solu-
ton for the sake of the digestion. But
while one girl can take three pills day.
and in course of time even eight, nine
or ten, another cannot take more than
two in "a hours. That is why a doctors
advice is so necessary.
The more open air the anemic girl
gets the more quickly she will overcome
her weakness. She must live on fresh
air just as much as on milk and fresh
meat, and every other kind of nourish-
ing food. Not only must she take ex-
ercise in the open air, but her sleep
ing hours must be supplied with it.
and her sitting-rooms always have an
open window in them. Rich food is not
good for the anemic patient; indeed, the
simpler the existence the better.-Cin-

DAINTY sachets in great number and
1 variety have made their appearance

DAINTY sachets in great number and
variety have made their appearance
among this seasons holiday gifts of
the more simple type. Indeed, the present
fancy for them amounts almost to a
craze. Handmade articles of almost any
description may nowadays be bought at
The stores, and this is a welcome fact
to her who has not the time or skill
or patience to make them. But girls
who have acquired considerable pro-
ficiency with the needle, and even fair
amount with pencil or brush, may get
up these very same things; and it is
they who are always on the alert for
new and attractive ways to test their
skill.
The Detroit Free Press describes the
new flower sachets as daintiness per-
sonlfed. But, simple as they are, neat
ness and precision are necessary for
good results. These perfumed trif1es
make admirable Christmas souvenirs,
and when sent as such should be placed

A SONG OF DAWN.

Say, have you ever heard
Earliest songs of bird
Ere in the early morn
Diamonds the fields adorn?
Health in the balmy breeze,
Music in all the trees,
Sweetly they carol now;
Slumberer, sleepest thou?
Tuning their sweetest lays,
Caroling songs of praise,
Joy days, always.
Caroling notes of praise.
Songs of the early bird
Sweetest you ever heard
Morning begins to break,
Now we are wide awake;
Look how the daylight beams
Flowing in golden streams!
See how the darkness flies
Chased by the amber skies!
JOY on the lightest wing,
Making the echoes ring,
Singing, winging.
Praises unto their King,
Now that their song is done,
Watch for the rising sun.
JOY in the eastern skyi-
Millions in slumber lie.
Slumber and rest are past,
Welcome to day at last!
Let not the hour be late;
Labors of love await;
With buoyant joy. it seems,
Brightly the morning beams I.
Night dreams, light CLEANS
Wake in its silver streams.
May every coming dawn,
Ire it is past and gone,
Happy and cheerful be,
Joyous as this to me;
Cloudless, except for rain
Nurturing golden grain,
Till when my day is done,
Then with its setting sun
May the sweet songsters sing,
Glad notes of JOY to bring.
Singing, winging,
Sweetly singing,
Praises unto my King.
