Three Methods of Dert.ion.

There are very few illusions to
storks in Latin authors, but one of
these Is interesting. The birds have a
curious custom of swapping their bills,
making quite sharp noise. Young
and old birds, both during and after
the breeding season, constantly do this.
In the writings Of Persius there Is a
reference to this habit. There are"
he says. three fayorite ways of derid-
Ing a mainly putting the hands be-
side the head like asses ears, by put
ting out the tongue like q dog and
swapping the fingers against the palm
of the hand like stork,s bill" The
first two methods Of mockery are plain,
but what was the cause Of the last?-

Helpful Hints for Sewing.

When joining a bias piece of material
to straight piece, always keep the bias
piece underneath, as this prevents it
from stretching.
Half-worn sheets should be cut in half
lengthways, the selvedges scanned to-
gether, and the newly-cut edges hemmed.
This considerably lengthens their lease
of life.
When machining thin material, such
as chiffon, place piece of paper under
meath the material. 1t will prevent 1t
pickering, and can be easily removed
afterwards.
To avoid marking velvet when sewing
it, lay another piece face downward to
rest your fingers on, and you will find
when you have finished sewing that the
pile will not be flattened.
Buttonholes on shirts should be stitch
ed round with strong cotton just outside
the buttonhole stitch while they are new.
If this is done they will last almost as
long as the shirt itself without tearing
away.
If in sewing on hooks. especially down
the front of bodice, they are button
holed on, they will become firm with
half the number of stitches otherwise
required, and will not become loosened
nearly as quickly.
When mending kid gloves, use cotton
rather than silk, as the silk is likely to
cut the kid. 1t is quite worth while
to provide ones self with glove needle,
which can be purchased at any diapers.
They are much nicer for the purpose
than ordinary needles.
Always thread your needle before
cutting the cotton to ensure threading
the right end; otherwise it will tangle.
Cut your cotton; do not bite or break it.
Use the right size needle and suitable
cotton for your material. See that your
thread is firmly and neatly fastened off.
When sewing black cotton materials,
such as Italian cloth, sateen, and black
prints, always use silk, as the black sew
ing cotton turns rusty with wear and
washing, and spoils the appearance Of
the articles on which it is used.
When sewing on buttons, before you
lay the button on the garment, put the
thread through so that the knot will be
on the right side. That leaves it under
the button and prevents it from being
ironed or worn away, and thus beginning
the loosening process. Before you begin
sewing, lay large pin across the button
so that the threads 60 over the pin.
After you have finished filling the holes,
draw out the pin, and wind the thread
round and round beneath the button.
This makes stem to sustain the pulling
and wear of the buttOnhOle.
A good idea for home dressmakers
who find trouble in fitting themselves, is
to buy one and one-half yards of strong
lining, and cut out perfectly fitting
bodice pattern to come five or six inches
below the waist line. Bone and stitch 1t
as if for an ordinary dress. Instead of
hooks and eyes, sew together down the
front, then stuff the lining firmly with
shaping it as you proceed. Sew
a strong lining across the bottom so as
to stand on table; add stock collar at
neck, with a piece of lining across the
top. This model is most useful for
draping and trimming blouses, also for
fitting collars and yokes.-Woman's Life.
