THERE Is nothing that fills quite the
same place in a woman's belongings
. as an ample supply OF turnovers
and cuffs. The plainest dark silk or cloth
waist can be given quite an air with them.
and one always feels freshened up and
well dressed even in an old gown with
dainty set Of collars and cuffs.
Now, collar sets are really quite an ex-
pensive item to the woman who Is living
on an allowance. The fine. carefully made
ones. even those done by machine. are far
from being cheap. As for the hand-em-
broidered ones, they run away with SO
much money as to make them practically
out of the question for the woman who
must count the cost.
Just here the woman who can do things
again has the advantage. She can make
the most fascinating really handsome, col
lar sets for almost nottingham do it SO
inexpensfvely, too. that not only can she
be well supplied herself. but can give many
a woman friend pleasure by utilizing them
as Christmas gifts.
The variety in collars and cuffs is un-
limited-lace real and imitation; Hardan-
ger. the boon Of the woman who is living
in one room, for they need not be ironed,

the Moon type for the adult blind sighed
the librarian Of the blind department in a
free institution of one Of the great Amer
lean cities. I'VE have only one magazine
in this type, and that Is limited to twenty
pages, because there is money to en-
large 1t. Our library does all 1t can. Its
shelves are open to the blind who come to
us, and we pay postage (both coming and
going) on all reading matter that is sent
out. If persons who are interested would
only send money contributions to the blind
departments Of the various free libraries
In the country for the stereotyping of more
reading matter they would be doing an
immense amount Of good.
I'VE want interesting stories. Some one
had Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch
stereotyped not long ago. and I know the
angels added another star to the crown
they were making ready for that good man
in consequence. We want them illustrated
too. Illustrations mean more to the blind
people than you fortunate ones who see
can ever dream" And she sighed gently
"Then we want books of travel and
poems and humorous sketches and clever
anecdotes. Think of the book that has
pleased you most when you were tired or
sorry or Ill or lonely-perhaps it would
please others, too: and, she added more
briskly, I'VE need small volumes-books
that are light and easy to handle. for
many of our blind are old and feeble, and
the weight Of big book is often too much
for them.

cheering words, money and time and pa
tience-but first. last and always, we need

The pattern may be taken off by putting

PHYSICAL CULTU kE
TURNING HoUsEWoRK INTO A
PASTIME.
Washing Dishes, Sweeping and Dust
ing Are Each Bene-
fetal.

The woman who does her own work has
no time for physical culture exercises; she
Is tired already from overexertion. But
health and strength are as necessary-per-
haps more necessary-to the housewife than
to any other member of the community.
Now. it is the same with Homework as
with everything else in the world-there
IS right and wrong way to accomplish
it. The proper use Of the muscles to re-
lieve the strain on the back Is as val
liable when walking about the house as in
playing golf or tramping miles through
the country. and the correct way of breath
ing may be employed In the kitchen ex-
actiy as well as anywhere else.
Sweeping washing dishes. ironing or cook
ing can be made easier IL whenever it is
necessary to stoop to reach the work care
is taken to bend from the hips with the
chest sunlken. as is usually done.
Always keep the weight on the balls Of
the feet. the chest high. bend at the hips
and not at the waist. use the arms and
not the back. and even violent exertion like
washing clothes will not be Injurious or
nearly SO hard as when it is done in the
old way with depressed chest the weight
thrown upon the heels and strain on the
back.
When tired from standing and 1t is not
convenient to rest take a full. deep breath,
throw the weight forward on the balls Of
the feet and keep 1t there. with the chest.
hips and balls of the feet in line. When
picking up anything from the floor why not
do 1t in the easiest way by bending at the
knees and keeping the upper part of the
body erect instead of bending with the back
and STOPPING over?
Take Short Rest.
BY all means rest whenever there are a
few moments to spare. Lie down or sit
in an easy chair and relax the tension Of
the muscles. Drop the hands into the lap.
close the eyes and let the head sink slowly
on the chest. II sitting in a chair let
the feet fall heavily ON the floor: and above
and beyond all else. dismiss all worry and
make the mind as nearly blank as pos
sible.

her youth to q remarkable degree says

attractiveness. have the merit of launder-
Ing and wearing well.
A feature of the newest collar sets is the
inserts of lace combined with the embroid-
cry. This use of lace gives an air of
elaborateness to the work that is often
quite out of proportion to the amount of
effort expended. In other words, embroid-
ering around lace is not half so hard. as ii
looks IL one but knows the secret
The set shown today is especially good
to learn on, as it is effective without being
overelaborate.
After the pattern is stamped on the mate
rial, haste a piece of lace large enough to
cover the design over the corners marked
'lace." This should be sewed firmly just
within the outer stamped line. seeing that
the lace is perfectly smooth over the linen.
Then put in the filling. padding the edges
well. After this Is done, trim the lace to
the edge of the stamping and embroider
smoothly In plain satin stitch.
After the work on the entire piece is
finished, cut out the linen from the back.
This must be done very carefully. so as
not to snip a mesh of the lace. A sharp
and rather small pair of scissors is the best
kind to use. -. - --s..-. a. ..--.,.
The scallops on this set are. buttonholed
closely over a slight filling. This padding
Is most quickly and easily done by working
over number Of strands Of heavy filling
cotton, long enough to run entirely round
the pattern. Fasten it securely at one end
and hold loosely in the left hand. following
the outline of the scallops. Buttonhole
