Women Bores.

1t Is an easier matter than most
women realize to become a thorough
going bore. We have all met such a
woman. She will recite for hours at
a stretch the troubles-real and imag-
inary-which she experiences with her
husband, children and servants. She
will expound upon her own ailments,
and bore you with long story of her
pains and aches. She also usually
complains of being a bundle of nerves
and yet takes keen delight in telling
you the most sensational and harrow
ing news which she has read, until she
makes your flesh creep. And If you
plead an engagement in order to es-
cape her, she not only offers, but &C.
tually insists, in manner not to be
denied, on accompanying you until she
has exhausted her fountain of talk
The grievances which such woman
has to tell you are inexhaustible. Nc
matter how earnestly she may work
for the good OF others. she is always
sure that no one appreciates her eff.
forts. The truth Of the matter is that
she really does nothing at all without
largely advertising the fact, and no.
body can appreciate self-praise.
The woman who would avoid becom-
Ing a bore must remember that hei
personal affairs and petty domestic
troubles are Of no particular interest
10 any one except, perhaps, to spite
FIJI reighbors, TO whom they form food
FOR gossip.

StenciIfng Walls.

The walls Of room can be deco
rated with stenciling. The work is done
on heavy wall paper before it Is put
up; this is used as frieze.
If the lower wall is green, different
shades of green on the correct shade Of
paper, may be used on the frieze with
a touch of dark red and russell to carry
out the design.
Fresco, or designers water colors,
and dyes will be the most satisfactory
for this work.
Shade cloth, which is bought by the
yard, can be used instead OF wall pa
per; this is tackled in place and the
tacks covered by strips of linen or pa
per.

Would our grandmothers have
dreamed thet the plain gingham gowns
their little daughters wore so demurelv
would ever be 'evoluted' into the dainty
and artistic frocks that the small maids
of to-day know by that name? The
qualities and colorings are so exquisite
this year that mothers have been fresh
ly inspired to look for pretty designs for
them, to combine with the fine laces and
embroideries. Here is little French
model of soft blue Bingham that is
charmingly simple and dainty. The lit
tie box plated skirt is trimmed with
tabs edged with blue and white braid.
The blouse, double-breasted in effect,
really closes in the back. Tabs and
braid are used with novel effect here.
but there is trimming band provided
in the pattern that can be made of lace
or embroidery and arranged under them
if more dressy effect is liked. Also,
the short sleeves, coming above the dim
pied elbows, are very comfortable

Baby should be fed by the clock, and
nothing should be allowed to interfere
with this rule. A good plan is at first
to write out the hours Of feeding on
a paper and pin it to the wall to serve
as reminder; but a baby that is fed
punctualiy very soon serves as a clock
itself.
When a child's shoes are seen to
wear down at one side immediate at
tention is needed. for this is always a
sign that the ligaments Of the ankles
are not as strong as they ought to be.
If its feet and general health are neg
lented it is very probable that what is
called fiat FOOT will result.

a pure food law. with the excep-
ton of China" said Miss Adams, 1.-THE
United States is the only civilized ma
ton that is without pure food legis
lation. such condition is disgrace
full, and we must have protection
against the adulterated food products
with which the country is flooded. NO
European government permits single
food product to be placed on the mar
ket without a statement or label SHOW
ing the contents of the package or the
ingredients of which the product is
composed. Why cannot we have the
same thing here? The fact is, we
would have had it long ago II the

it. 1t is woman's business to do

Back stairs.

A woman Who found her steep back
stairs as little ornamental as they were
useful has had them converted into
two closets, one opening out of her
dining room, the other on the second
floor. The steps were removed bodily
and a glass door opened into the din
ing room from where they had been.
The space inside she had paneled and
rows of shelves were built in, well up
to the ceiling. The lower ones were
used for china and the upper ones for
preserves. A small window cut into
the side yard admitted light into what
was really a small shelf-lined room.
The whole cost little. Upstairs ca.
pacious linen closet filed in the vacant
space.
Another woman who did not wish
to have the stairs actually taken out
had the upper landing converted into a
closet, but left the stairs underneath
using them from the first floor as q
store closet for brooms, buckets and
the like.

When the cane is worn from chairs
and they are not considered sufficient
ly valuable for the expense of new
cane seats, they may be reseated with
heavy cord and will wear for a long
time. The old cane should all be
cleared away and the lengths of cord
run in the same holes and knotted Sc
curely beneath. Then, says the House
keeper, weave them In and out after
the manner of weaving the cane, al
though it Is not necessary to attempt
any special pattern. After reaching
the opposite side the free ends are
pushed down through the holes and
tied beneath. Give the seat a coat of
paint or stain to match the chair
frame. and very acceptable chair is
the result.

dragged Fred from the house and
threw him in the water trough, but
he had already been burned all
