THE ART OF KNITTING BED
SPREADS.

Along with the old fashion for. ma
hogany four posters women have reviv-
ed the art of knitting bedspreadsN fden-
teal with those made years ago bv
their mothers and grandmothers. Some
of them are works of art They are
difficult of construction, too. and one
spread may take the entire leisure ot
one woman during the summer season
One of the favOrite designs is a com
blnation of LOG cabin and what the
knitters call tn" mouse pattern. The
spread is made in squares which are
fastened together with a pretty. odd
stitch. 1t takes fifty-six of the large
squares, which consist of four small
squares fastened together, or pa small
squares about five inches across r.
make the entire spread.
Besides this there is a border of plain
knitting which in itself is a matter Of
several weeks work. But the snread

step. One of these is of flexible leath-
er, with sort of spring under the arch
of the foot, which is inserted in the
shoe. This supports the foot, and yet
the fiexibility allows it to give with
every step.
The best remedy for tired and nerv-
Gus feet in summer time is the one
which can seldom be applied-rest;
complete rest. Next to that, ma usage
and the application of a soothing tonic
will rest the nerves more than any
thing else. In massaging the foot,
which. of course can only be done by
a second person. hold the foot firmly
with the left hand, massage each toe
separately, and then ma usage the foot
and leg to the knee with the upward,
never with the downward, stroke AL
ways begin with the left foot the one
on the side of the heart, as there is al
ways more blood on that side of the
body.
Great relief for swollen feet is gained
by bandage of adhesive plaster about
one-half inch wide around the instep
A small leather pad is cut of channels
leather and laid under the arch of each
foot. The indicated plaster is then
bound tightly around the foot two or
three times. This should be done after
the massage treatment. The cleanli-
ness of the feet cannot be too much
insisted upon. as health and bodily
comfort depend so much on this scru-
pulOus care.

RUSSIAN TEA.

DON'T PLAY WITH
YOUNG BABY

Don't play with a young baby.
Don't try to make an infant laugh. =
They do not need TO be amused.
When some kind Of diversion is nee
essary these little ones make their own
fun by playing with their hands or
toes. Let a baby sleep and rest quiet
ly as many hours during the day and
night as it can and remember that the
kindeSt and best treatment that can be
given these tots is to leave them en-
tfrely alone to grow and develop with
nothing to excite their nervous sys-
TENS.
Don't talk loud or sing when bath
ing or feeding a baby, for the sounds
of the voice disturb and often brighten
these little creatures. To many moth
ers it is a real privation to keep from
talking to and cOddling their small
children, but when they realize how
much better off the health of their in
infants would be if silence were main

not only stop talking, but would not
permit others to do it within the hear

ON THE CARE OF THE FEET,

For the summer girl physical comfort

comfortable in summer look first OF all
to the condition of the feet. The subtle
connection between the condition of

been remarked
Take the best-natured man or woman

follow. As summer approaches the re-

marked, and much of the suffering
would be lessened i'm hot weather if the
feet were only properly attended to. We
expect so much of our feet. yet we give
them little or no consideration. and
often distort them in early youth by
wearing the wrong kind of shoe. so
that a perfect foot without blemish of
any kind is rarely if ever found in
these days.
A tight stocking is capable of doing
almost as much damage to the foot as
a tight shoe, and when putting on the
stocking il should be well pulled down
at the toes, in order that the heel may
find its proper level. In buying shoes

ARTISTIC JEWELRY.

"Jewelry is no longer worn to ad-
vertise the size of your bank account, {"
says woman who finds both pleasure
and profit in the designing of artistic
ornaments. AT least, it is not so worn
by any except those whose bank ac-
count is very new. The woman OF
taste wants a jewel which is a work of
art, and which not only accords with
the costume she is wearing, but ex-
presses her individuality, and she may
have this even without an eXtraordi-
naruy large bank account for the
snowy, machine-made. inartistic Jewel
is, other things equal, more costly than
the work of art.
Some years ago this could not be
said. There was, in fact, no artistic
tewelry in the country. but since then
there has been a steady Improvement
in taste. and this has encouraged the
artists of the country to bring their
knowledge and genius to bear upon the
subject, and the jewel is no more priced
merely for the value of the metal and
gems of which it is composed. There
has been. in fact. a renaissance of the
jewelers. art. and in this revival of the
art of the goldsmith and silversmith
has been an important factor. This has
come 10 De recognized as capable in it
self of producing beautiful ornaments
without the adventurous attraction of
costly gems. And where the stones are
employed there is an increasing ten
dency to introduce them for the sake
Of their decorative properties-not. as
formerly, for the value they represent
in dolalrS. 1t is no longer deemed i'm
proper to set diamonds or other valu-
able gems side by side with common
and inexpensive stones. Neither is IL
considered necessary that stones should
be cut invariably in facets. Since flash

siderations, stones are not infrequent-
ly polished in their natural shapes, en-
cabochon, as It is called, their irregular
tiles of formation adding not a little to
the barbaric richness of the ornaments
in which they are placed.

nails in perfect condition. The STUN

indefinitely this part of the toilet dur
ing the week days, and then try to
make UP for past deficiencies by taking

the nails are perfectly clean, and the

The home manicure's set consists of
one orange wood stick for pushing
back the Cuticle. one velvet file a box
of emery boards, one clipper, a box of
nail powder, nail salve and a buffer or
a square of chamois skin. The nail is

the best form. If any rough surfaces

SOME PARIS IDEAS.
(By Madame Hydorne.)

Paris, Aug. 25.-A trained dress is a
real aff1iction for the holiday-maker.
and one that should not be borne.
Upon the short skirts that are so COM
Portable and so smart there are nuner-
Gus forms Of trimming, not one OF
which is in any degree elaborate. The
fifteen-goTed skirt is a great favorite
among them, and is made sufficiently
voluminous at the hem. by means OF
cleverly hidden fan plaits that do not
betray their mission from the outside
view, TO present a truly graceful ap-
pearance.
Another type Of trimming is a stitched
band curving upward toward the front
and terminating under a cocarde Of
fabric or very handsome large but
ton. With skirts of serge and tweed
may be worn with due delight short
pony Jackets Of colored linen, a vogue
that is highly to be recommended for
its comfort and also for its smartness.
In juxtaposition to a blue serge skirt
rose-red linen looks delightful. or
chamois-colored Shantung may be sub
stituted for linen and will be quite as
cool as that fabric, if not more so than
it is.
Reversing the usual order Of events. a
clever modiste has made great sue
cess with some toilettes for a. continen-
TAI spa, which are carried out in silk
wolfe of an ivory tint and are trimmed
with colOred filet lace. In one case the
f1let is reseda green in shade, and Is
bestowed upon the skirt in bands upon
a background of ivory colored silk. In
another case pure white mousseline de
sole is used. with organisations OF
mauve Chantilly, silk again forming
the background, and here and there
showing, to the great advantage of the
lace.
At this season of the year white be-
comes little too sUmmer-like to be al
together desirable as a choice for a new
dress. Craze, or chalk, and sulphur are
substitutes that will meet with appro-

There is no excuse In these days Of

who has i'll kept hands No matter
what her station in life may be, wheth-
er she does nOusework or holds her
hands in lovely idleness, it is necessary
Tor her fingers to show some degree Of
care and attention. The houseworker

and busting are not conducive TO soft
SKIN or polished finger nails. But I
know of several women who do their
own work and can yet display a pair Of
hands which, if not Immaculate accord
ing to the ideal of the manicure. still
DO their owners a great deal of credit.
Before going into the care of the
hands let me say something about the
use OF them. Have you ever watched
children making mud pies? L recently
saw two little girls digging in the dirt

other little girl took her clam shell i'm

of the two fingers. This same difference

is as much TO be recommended for the
bric-a-brac as il is for the hands
A woman who has her own work to
do should set aside a small sum of
money-a dollar and half is all that
is necessary-and invest in a pair of
rubber gloves for washing dishes, and
a pair of rough chamois gloves for
sweeping, busting. etc. Both pairs of
gloves should be at least one size larg-
er than the number she buys for ordi-
nary use. The rubber gloves will last
long time, if they are carefully rinsed
in warm water after being used and
the grease from the C1iShwater is not
allowed to accumulate on them.
