Persons Who Never Have Tins

Here and there and everywhere are 10
be found the man and the woman who
never have time" They would read
good books if they had the time They
would visit the sick and the needy, but
somehow they have not time They
would call on their friends. cultivate
good fellowship and add to the comforts
of living but they have SO many Other
things TO do that they cannot ind time
for this. They deceive themselves and
think they are deceiving others. They
are not. Never have the time" simply
because they do rot take the time.

BATHROOM RUGS.
Many Women Are Busy Weaving Their
Own Rugs.

The latest craze, even among women
of means, is to make their own bath
room rugs. Many of these rugs are
made on frames which come for the
purpose. They are made Of tin with
knobs on which the warp can be
stretched and thru these linen threads
stripes Of cotton cloth are woven back
and forth as tightly as possible. If
made IN symmetrical manner the rug
is pretty as well as serviceable. The
chief charm about the rug is that it is
washable and will stand water which
is apt to be spilled on a bathroom
floor. The cloth strips are made of
cotton, In various colors, cut and sewed
together like old-fashioned carpet rags.
A fringe is Melted in of linen warp.
Blue and white rugs Of this variety are
popular. warm and do not fade.
Another rug that is largely made for
bathrooms is the result Of cotton strips
sewed together and knitted on large
needles. AS a rule, one color is used
for the body and border of a con-
trasting shade is knitted in about two
inches from the end. The rug when fin
lshed is th-ee-auarters of a yard wide
and a yard and a half long. a fringe
is knotted in the ends of carpet warp
the shade Of the principal material used
in the rug. These same rugs are used
for porch rugs, as if left out in the
rain they are not injured. Yellow and
white is particularly pretty for a porch
rug. White cotton cloth can be cut
INTO strips and partly dyed the desired
shade. The rugs that are made hit and
miss do not soil as easily as the plain
ones, but lack a certain style that
plain center with eolored border
gives. In particular the yellow center
with a white border is effective and
goes well with nearly all furniture and
the nickel and enamel fitting of bath
room.

A large part Of the pleasure I took in

due to their vines, for English archi-

large part Of their charm to their glor-

Trees and vines will cover a great

do not need to import vines from Eng

plants and vines are at our doors, ready
to weave their enchanting veil of
beauty over our blunders, our mistakes,
our poverty Of resource.
Go to the meadows, the swamps, the
roadside, and invite them in to help
you make life better worth living.

a low spreading effect that is admir-
ably adapted to many sites for coun-

without neighbors to elbow the resi-

commodations. Space and convenience
are the principal considerations and
these have been amply provided, the di-
mensions of the house being 25x43 and
each of the seven bedrooms being of
good size. The house is well provided
with closets, an unusual feature in a
country place built for residence but a
short time in the year. r, p
The estimated expense of the house
is $4,000. This provided for good SUBJ
