TO KEEP RIBBONS

 Mailing tubes of stiff pasteboard. cov- ered with silk over a lining of cotton batting. in which has been sprinkled generous supply of the delicate perfume YOU affect in everything, make attractive forms upon which the riooon may oe rolled and fastened at the ends-with pins driven firmly into the padding. Roll the ribbon rather tightly-puiling 1t out evenly is the best possible anuoote to the slow poison of daily wearing.
 Dolls rolling-pi are used Tor the same purpose, but the mailing tubes are just as satisfactory
 inc and the rest of the satiny kinds which have become soiled may be wash ed in tepid water in which soap-1eiy has been dissolved. Stretch them out upon a board to dry-an ironing board covered with clean white muslin IS splendid for the purpose-pinning tne ends firmly so as to stretch the ribbon beyond the need for pressing. If possible:
 The other kinds-gros grain. .taneta ana the like-should be stretched out upon a clean board in the first place ana sponged with borax water until clean.
 If pressing proves necessary. lay q cloth over the ribbon before 1t IS quite iron. If the ribbon should dry before vo,, find time to press it, dampen the Cloth won lay over 1t, and press as be- fore.

 We won't all study. 1t is not in our line, but we can get out and broaden our views Don't just do one thing all the time because you know how to do that well. Your brain will get one-sided, and people will call you dull-and justly so.

EASTER CARDS

WHERE are so many other trifies to
 send to ones friends at Easter
 that the Easter card, strictly call ed. might almost be said to have gone out, were it not for the fact that the stores are full of them--lovely ones too which is proof positive the other way.
 One thing is certain. though: the post card as an Easter token is largely in the lead-just as it was at Christmas and for valentines. The only change is one of symbols; and we have post cards adorned with weird-iooking hares and chickens in every conceivable oc- cupation and attire.
 This does not mean that the ordinary Easter card is quite in the background. Indeed, it is not, but is more ludicrous and fanciful than ever before.
 There are several distinct novelties, one of them being a rooster that flaps his wings and crows; another a large gray card containing a saucer, spoon and tumbler with three paper eggs that can be lifted in and out.
 Cards of the real Easter type are un- usually artistic this season, and the nec- essarily hackneyed use of the lily has actually been put into new forms.
 There are also number of fascinating little place cards for dinners and lunch cons. A particularly attractive series was one of different German children, girls and boys, playing with Easter eggs. These cards were quite small, but the colortng was exquisite.

LATEST SHIELDS

 Shields being a necessary evil, 1t is fortunate that the makers are daily im- proving them. Time was when heavy. crowd an armhole and be generally un pleasant. Now they come in the most delicate silk and finest rubber. war ranted to both wear and wash. As for sizes, shields can be had the size of young sheets or so tiny that they are adaptable to a sleeveless gown.
 One of the most difficult questions to the shield wearer Is to protect the front wear mammoth combinatio of rub ber This trouble has now been ob- viated by a shield shaped something like the brow of an old-fashioned boat, very high and shallow and curving in front and dipping to the back.
 This form fits well into the arm hole, and does not wrinkle though 1t there along the edges.
 By the way, in putting in shield when one is in too great hurry to use a needle and thread, the very tiniest safety pins are found most convenient. In washing shields two things are es- sential Do not rub the soap on the shield; dip them into a thick father in- stead rinsing we'll and dry them in the

DON'T GROW oNE-sIDED

Girls are apt to crow over their par ents because today there are better adyantages and good parents always deny themselves to give their chll- Sren inc chances which were not pos sihie for them.

 Cotton stuffs are rarely worth mak- ing over. Starch and frequent wash ings make cotton stuffs so tender that the work of remaking Is practically wasted.
 In cutting, pay the strictest ,atten- ton to getting the lines just so. If the old pattern doesn't quite allow for the deep seams of the new-the slant of the shoulder, for instance, vary ing ever so little-mark the seam after the new pattern with chalk or pins,, instead of trusting to your eye to allow for that difference. You can't be too careful about the fit and set.
 Press every little while, whenever a seam is ready-there's nothing that tells so directly upon cloth things like careful tailoring. and the beginning and end of careful tailoring is pressing.

NNCE there was a girl of lsA Awho
 was placed in a class of chill
 dren about 10 and 12 years of
 age. For-the first few weeks she was looked upon as a dummy, as the children called her: but soon her quiet dignity commanded respect ''why?" She made them feel what she was-a brave. bright young woman: The rudiments of her education had been neglected while she had gone on mastering the more weighty prop, lems of life. How many of us could go back to our primary lessons?
 Did you ever ask yourself why some people studied even when they were old? Perhaps you thought, O' they are bookworms-" But there IS decided difference between the person who reads to improve his mind and one who dives into all kinds of htera- ture simply for diversion The hrsI knows what to look for, the second sometimes stumbles over something When we are old we sigh and wish we had applied ourselves when we were young That is a foolish wny for when you realize how little you know. that is the time you are rlpe to gain knowledge.

"HE older woman has been a reve-
 lation to us these last few years
 Time was when the line which
 divided the young woman from the old woman was the dead line of hope; when one who passed 1t was quiet ly laid aside. forced to be content with the leavings of the younger woman's fun and frolic and advancement.
 These last few years have seen a radical change. The older woman has set her face toward a far, free country. following hard on the trail blazed by the younger women (some of them mere girls). who were no less pioneers because the unknown country into which they pushed their way-in which they en- dured mental trials and hardships equal to the physical strain of life when the West was first populated-was the field of business.
 And since two or three older women have accomplished great things in the world-like that famous woman of 66, still the greatest woman violinist in the world, and that other famous woman of s5 whose canvases fairly giowed with life. and that yet older woman who held great fortunes in her grasp and Juggied with them like very mas
