Lace Making

Lace Making
Is a charming work with delightful re-
suits, that look and wear well II few
things are remembered and few rules
followed.
All have seen poor work, where the but
tonhole stitches filling leaf were OF vari-
Gus sizes. and the spider webs had some
loose and some tight foundation threads.

Much of this irregularity may be OBJ
Waited by the use of pliable but tough
wrapping paper basted on the under side
of the pattern before the braid has been
put on. The work proceeds most swiftly,
too, If paper be used. With use the paper
shortly softens and Is manageable, while
the worker easily becomes accustomed to
1t.
It Is well to haste the braids with short,
close stitches, and II all fullness has been
carefully whipped in with fine thread, the
rings basted into position, and all crossing
of braids, points and corners lightly caught
together with few stitches, the making of
the lace will progress rapidly. When the

the linen carefully; then basic 1t in IL pos

Three Ways
There are Of attaching curtains to the
poles; one, by means Of hook safety pins.
another by sewing fast to the curtain rings.
which are then slipped over the pole itself:
and the third by shfrring the material over
the pole.
Each of these methods may be varied sew
eral times. The average portiere is fifty
inches wide and about three and half
yards long. The average double length or
archway pole Is provided with twelve rings;
each portiere, therefore. will depend from
six rings. This calculation is made for
simple homes where the archway to be
draped Is from five to six feet wide and
from seven to nine feet high. The first
step. therefore. in hanging the portiere is
to fold the material over at the top in
such wise as to bring about a proper
length.
When hung the drapery should escape the
1oor by an inch or more, which 1t will gain
by stretching In a few weeks, even in a
close and firm weave of goods, by its own
weight. If the portieres have been pur-
chased ready made, always the most eco
nomieal way of buying, the first considera-
ton must be given to the disposal of the
superfiuous length at top. The simplest
method of treating this when it amounts to
fifteen inches or more is to turn the end
over to form valance on what Is to be
known as the right size of the curtain.
This is commonly done where the top of the
portiere is provided with fringe.
When the additional length amounts only
to ten or twelve inches it may be hest
disposed of by folding and basting 1t with
a three-ipch hem, through which the hooks
that are to hold 1t may be sunk and which
may be made to act as heading or ruche.
Having fixed the length of the drapery,
now divide evenly the top end by means of
a rule. and mark positions for six curtain
hooks end hook
should be placed about one and one-half
inches inside. e., away from the sides
of the drapery. The fullness between these
two hooks or rings must now be so dis
tributed as to bring the fifty-inch portiere
into the length of one-half the pole length
Soft goods, such velvet or velour, and
sometimes tapestry cloths, are often at
tached in plain divisions, so that when
drawn apart the curtains form their own
folds or when drawn together hang in
practically plain surfaces. For the aver
age portiere, however. the fullness is gath
cred at four points into either side plaits,

In the hands of the city child is his

never dreamed of by the youngster who is

Is looked down on from one skyscraper
which overtops another Is thrown against
dark clouds and framed with architectural
setting In way which has tempted many

the far on elevated tracks winding among
the tree tops unexpectedly from the win
dows of the fourth or fifth story fiat are a
never ceasing delight to the child from the
marvel Of the silent trains, which he hardly
recognizes as such, when made out alone
by the eye.
And loyeliest of all for the town child are
the pictures which are given him by night
In the long streets and river, which could

What
Is wrong with the baby7 Perhaps 1t is
teethingi Our first attempt at teething
comes at the time when our bodies are in a
highly impressonable state, when we are
growing faster than we shall ever grow
again. and when our brain, by reason of it's
rapid growth. is In a most excitable con-
dition. Is 1t any wonder. then. that the
boring OF the little ivory toothy pegs up
ward through the tender gum should nearly
always produce irritation both nervous and
physical?
The open air cure Is excellent for teeth
Ing babies. simply because 1t strengthens
the nerves. The baby who spends all the
fine hours OF the day. winter or summer,
out Of doors. is fortified against the nervous
strain Of the evolution Of his first teeth.
During teething troubles II the gums are
hot, swollen smarting and painful. dip

Mischief

Mischief
May be done to an infant by carrying 1t
wrongly and by lifting it carelessly. The
head of a baby Is much heavier in proper
ton to its body weight than Is the head
of an adult. The brain of a new born baby
is about Il per cent of Its entire body
weight, while the adults Is but 2.37 per
cent Of the weight At the same time It's
spine Is weak; its bones are soft, being In
fact, more of the consistence of gristle than
OF hard bone.
This is why a young baby's head falls
forward If you place It sitting up straight,
which is a thing that should never be done
until 1t sits up of It's own accord This II
will not be slow to do as soon as Its mus
Giles are strong enough. which Is generally
at the age Of four or five months.
In lifting a baby 1t Is most important
always before beginning to lit to place
the palm of one hand under the back OF
the head and neck so as to support them
we'll At the same time the other hand and
forearm should be passed around the child
Ioins so as to support both back and thighs
and prevent the legs from hanging down
When both hands are In position raise the
child with gentleness.
Never lift q baby with one hand. This
Is an absolute rule whereto there is no ex-
ception. Both hands must always be used
at the same Time III nLtiu6 I'll AiAdhl,
Neglect of this simple rule may cause
muscle strains and Jars to the spinal cord
and brain In carrying baby see that Its
head Is well supported against your arm
and that its legs do not dangle from the
knees. At the same time do not hold 1t SO
as to construct It's movements. Keeping
baby with its back bent and Its legs doubled
induces deformities 1t also can cause
wasting of the muscle power. The muscles
cannot grow strong unless they have free
room to exercise. Baby should always In
clothes and posture have no impeachment to
exercise and perfect freedom OF motion.
As Put
BY a child scientist, the smaller minds
should be trained TO observe the phenomena
of the city life around them, as 30 many
pictures and there will be less Of the
idea that there is poverty Of beauty and
nature in the life OF city children.
In the outlook OF the town-bred child
there are a thousand artistic possibilities.

many interests about him that his attention

Skating Is a most health-giving exercise
as 1t brings into play nearly IL not all the

Back to the people" is the cry of lib
erty. Public opinion must be king.
Local option is one of the wisest pro-
cedures a legislature can enact at the
outset of this movement. which is Ill
timately to restore to the citizens the
right to make their own laws. The
chief reason for this is that local oD-
ton trains the people to think along
the line of referendum. 1t prepares the
voters to legislate and makes popular
the consideration of great questions.
Once give a people taste of this larger
liberty of keeping their own civic house
and they will never surrender it. Local
option is such a taste. Lovers of Lin
coins immortal definition of liberty
should be ardent supporters of Senator
Dickey's bill.
A democracy to live must love right
eousness. This is not cant. Where the
appeal to conscience is never heard or
if urged is derided, civic death must
soon ensue. Britain has a pregnant
phrase the Nonconformist consci-
ence.'' which predicates a force that no
premier of modern days has not SUI
premely feared. In America this be-
comes the public Christian conscience.
The great number of our popular civic
questions involve matters of policy;
they appeal to the prudential faculty.
But local option makes it's plea before
the bar of the public Christian con-
science. The discussions to which it
gives rise train the nobler powers of
manhood. Many governmental prob
lens have a Republican, a Democratic
or a Populist, or a Labor, or Social
istic solution. They are partisan ques-
tions. Local option moves in a realm
far above party. 1t helps to fashion
the kind of manhood required in Amer
lea if our country is to live and influ-
ence the higher life of mankind.
Finally, this law proposes to educate
our citizens in the ability to say no. I
take it that this is its noblest contri-
button. The supreme vice of today is
conformity, the suppression of right
eous Individuality. Social training aims
at shibboleths, at universal yes say
ing. But manhood means the use of
the power to answer no, to stand
against evils, to down temptation. Lo-
cal option proposes to each citizen
biennial opportunity to say no on moral
grounds. BY all means let us have
these conscience choices made common
in the civic life of Hawaii.

is term that aptly describes
the character and action of
