One friend may say to another: Come whenever you please and as often as you choose. and read my books in this library" A greater kindness can hardly be shown to a struggling student or a young girl growing up in a bookless home than thus to accord her the freedom of a house where books abound. Although the uninitiated may deem it faneiful, there is an atmosphere of culture that diffuses itself in the plainest house. where books are as daily bread. Chil- dren brought up in such surroundings learn more quickly. assimilate more readily, and possess a richer vocabu- lary than their originates and friends who have had none of their advant- ages.
 Few of us have not had the experi- ence of permanently losing a valued book through the predatory habits of the thoughtless borrower. He leaves it on a train or in a boat, he carries 1t with him in a suit case to the country, he changes his boarding house or his home, and the little transaction involv- ed in borrowing and lending Is entirely effaced from his memory. It might be fairer should we substitute a feminine pronoun for the masculine. I am ashamed to confess that the chronic borrower of books Is a woman, rather than a man, and that she is greater sinner than he in this regard.

 Nobody borrows your gloves, your shoes or your best coat. Nobody asks the loan of a scarf pin or a bit Of lace or a picture.

EMBROIDERED SETS.

In competition with these lace Dor
dered sets are those with Japanese or
Madeira embroidery, though "a combi-
nation of both the lace and hand work
is sometimes employed. In the Japan
csc sets the embroidery designs are
always floral though not as distinctly
japanese as We're the first shown. The
Chrysanthemum has given place to
the jonquil-the designers of the older
country being as apt TO seize the sug-

desire their unique and exquisite work

in the regular open work of that type.
