LITTLE THINGS FOR ORNAMENT
AND UTILITY.
Quaint Bib for the Small Sovereign Of
the Home--Two New Ideas in
cushions-Pretty Gift 6abys
Mother Would Like.


The quaintest baby bibs are being
made for small, cunning little mortals.
They are long, full sleeves in add.
tion to the deep bib itself. which is
big and loose enough to slip comfort
ably over the dress. and buttons In
the back. so that there are no strings
to knot up unpleasantly.
Beautiful and inexpensive hall cur
tains can be made of bobinet with
inch and a half hens all around.
Down one side and across the bot
tom is a design four inches wide in
the old-fashioned darning pattern.
pretty cushion for the dresser is
in the shape OF a bag. and comes in
pink. blue or yellow. Ii is tied about
three-quarters of the way from the
top with green ribbon to represent
stems. calyx and leaves. while the re-
naming quarter of the ribbon is tied
firmly. then wrought into a wild rose.

itself. the stem being of wire firmly
wound with green ribbon. the leaves
being formed in the same fashion. A
collection of these ribbon pin cush-
ions would form a good representation
of an old-fashioned flower garden.
AS II the matter of initials hadn't
been properly taken care of by peo-
pie who embroider. and supplement-
ed by tiny machine-made ones as
well. lacemakers have invented the
prettiest cobweb affairs imaginable
II is an open bit. as open and lacy
as can be. the only heavy part about
it the strong little edge. and the
letter. which apparently happens"
right in the center. Even If there's
no lace on cheHise or corset cover.

tiny bisque doll. Gather materials
tightly at the waist, and tie a sash
of narrow ribbon. ending In a bow

CHEAP GLOVES NOT ECONOMY.
Wear Out Quickly and Never Look
WeiI-Their Proper Care.

Bargain sales may be attractive in
most lines of goods. but the woman is
wise who does not patronize bargain
sales OF gloves Economy in this
line does not pay. for the wearing
qualities which are had with the more
expensive glove makes up for the
extra cost. Cheap black suede gloves
in particular are poor investment.
for the finger tips win grow white

Economy in gloves lies also in the
care of them. New ones put on for
the first time munst be carefully
treated. The hands should be per-
fectly dry. and care should be taken
that the fingers are worked well
down into their proper places. 1t is
said that French women. possess, best
OF all. the art Of putting on their,
gloves to perfection. They give plenty
OF time to the process. and when buy

well powdered and stretched little
The rule is to first turn back the
glove, keeping the thumb outside un-
til all the fingers are fitted in place
In taking on a glove. turn the wrist
part back as far as the knuckles. then
loosen the finger tips and pull the
glove on. It is not the best way to
pull them on inside out. In putting
gloves away they should be smoothed

much as possible as they did when
they were new. To clean white suede

Ideas for the Hostess.
for Club of Ladies on Thanksgiving
Dv-ReaIH Unique Card Party.

How to entertain a club Of ladies' on
the afternoon Of November 29 is an
swered by the following suggestions:
For the table centerpiece get a per-
fectly formed pumpkin. hollow II out
and line II with oiled paper; all II
with fruit. grapes. bananas. rosy
checked apples and golden oranges.
II basket in the shape Of horn Of
plenty can be purchased at the for
lists. suspend II over the table by rib
bons OF tulle filed with chiysanthe-
mums. which are the flower for No
vember; Louise Alcott mentions them
in Little Men" as being used on the
Thanksgiving day table.
II would be very pretty idea TO
ask the ladies' TO powder their hair
and to wear dark gowns with white
'kerchiefs: in fact. to wear anything
suggestive Of colonial days. Make
boxes to hold salted nuts out OF yell

have the candle shades carry out the

BLUE scHooNERs HIS HooDoo.



When the weather is contrary and
ugly and fog blanket hangs closely
over the water the old salts OF this
coast look around to see If there is a
blue schooner in sight, says the Ban
gor (Me) correspondent Of the New
York World Should a vessel painted
any shade of blue be In the harbor.
then the old-timers grunt and remark
that it is no wonder that the weather
is bad. The blue schooner is consid-
cred rank hoodoo and is cussed
roundly every time she puts in an
appearance.
The schooner Donna T. Briggs is re-
garded as a sure enough herald of bad
weather, for not only is she painted
blue, but she is also a three-master.
and when she appeared in Portland
harbor recently, on passage from
Bangor to New York, all hands in the
fleet already anchored there concluded
that they might as well turn in and
have good sleep. They knew what
was to follow, and II came-easterly
winds. cold. snow and fog. Said Capt
Baker, Of the little schooner Wild
Pigeon. when he made out the color
Of the Donna T. Briggs:
There's blue schooner. That's
what's making Of this weather. and
you won't see no change till she gets
outer here.
"A blue schooner is a hoodoo any
way. and you won't find one cap'n in
a hundred that'll paint vessel that
color. Once in a while you will see
some blue hatch-combings or a little
blue stripping. but 1t amt poplar. /
member once that Capn Eben Lewis
Of Boothbay harbor was going to take
a new schooner. built somewheres
down east, and when he went aboard
he found they'd painted the matches
blue.
Here. he says to the managing
owner. you turn to and paint some
other color on to them matches. or
you'll get another man to go in this
vessel.
They painted them matches good
Fourth O. July red, and the vessel al
iers had good luck. Mother cap'n was
standin' on the poop of his vessel
watching a crew come over the side.
The last man to show his head over
the rail had blue chest. and when
the cap'n see 1t he yelled:
"'Herel you leave that blue box ON
the wharf or get back there yourself;
blue don't go on this vessel That
man had to go ashore ag'in and shift
his dunnage into a bag. and then he
was all right"

HysterIa Contagious, Says Doctor.


Unless one agrees with a woman
who says "Hysteria is not so bad, for
madness is better than the common
placeness Of mediocrity and the dull
sanity that takes no flights" DR.. A. R.
Mitchell Of Lincoln. Neb., is likely to
cause trepidation- At the meeting Of
the American Association of Railway
Surgeons in Chicago he said that hys-
terra was as contagious as smallpox
and unless there was training in
calmness much damage might be
done. Physicians should mix the
spiritual with their treatment Of hys-
teria," said DR.. Corwin, who started
the discussion. Everybody wants SEN
sation. It has crept into our school
board and into the lives OF women" ="
DR.. Mitchell said hysteria was looked
upon by most persons as an outbreak
of certain overtaxed, over-emotional
women, but the educated physician
knew It was disease that might az.
feet any man or woman. DR.. Janets
statement that we are all madmen
and hysteria is only a popular phase
Of a universal mental arrangement
sounds more agreeable. since 1t brings
all humanity to one level.
