a pudding, ana now much vinegar 10
put into a salad; but it is far more
useful to know how much sugar and
what sort of honey to use in the dish
of matrimony.
In fact, after the first few months,
some married people seem to think
that no sugar at all is necessary.
There is a recipe for making a con-
tinuous honeymoon out of matrimony
which very few people seem to know
If the knowledge of this was more
universal there would be fewer divorce
courts.
In the ten years Of the average mar
ried life fewer compliments pass be-
tween man and wife than are passed in
the ten months preceding the wedding
Yet nobody S SO susceptible to small
compliments as a woman who is busy
around her home.
No one likes to hear pretty nothings
in home life more than the masculine
creature Much as he likes to say
pretty things, he likes better to hear
them.
Husbands and wives really do think
nice things about each other, otherwise
they could not love each other. Why
not voice these nice things daily?

Why do you not embroder a little
flannel blanket for the baby? Get
quarters of a yard of fine white
French flannel and the same amount of
China silk, but be sure that the silk is
the same width as the flannel Have
the flannel stamped with a design of
forget-me-nots and tiny bows a little
wreath in each corner, and separate
flowers scattered over the blanket. If
you would rather embroider it in pink,
1 would have wreaths of small wild
roses instead. Use flo-fioss for the
work. When the embroidery is finish
ed and the flannel carefully pressed
on the wrong side, haste the silk to it
around the edges, and bind with soft
satin ribbon to correspond in color with
the flowers. 1 have seen these little
blankets and they make a charming
addition to the layette.

If you'll sing a song as you go along,
In spite of the real or fancied wrong,
In spite of the doubt if you fight it out,
And show heart that is brave and
stout,
If you laugh at the jeers and refuse
the tears,
You'll force the ever reluctant cheers
That the world denies when the coward
cries
To give to the man who bravely tries:
And you'll win success with little
song,
If you'll sing a song as you go along.
If you'll sing a song as you plod along
You'll find that the busy, rushing
throng
Will catch the strain of the glad refrain
That the sun will follow the binding
rain,
That the clouds will fly from the black
ened sky,
That the stars will come out by and by;
And you'll make new friends till hope
descends
From where the placid rainbow bends;
And all because of a little song.
If you'll sing a song as you plod along.
If you'll sing a song as you trudge
along,
You'll see that the singing will make
you strong,
{
road,
And the sting and the strife and the
| tortuous goad
, viii soar with a note that will set you
! afloat;
That the beam will change to a triding
! mote,
That the world is bad when you are
sad
And bright and beautiful when you are
! glad,
That all you need is a little song.
If you'll sing the song as you trudge
along.

last winter of James Fl. Hyde's now

have been many others. Artificial

port last season, and now in all the
smart drawing rooms, where the in

batiste and silk, and orchids of silk and

not cheap, these dainty manufactured
4 blossoms, the American beauty roses
costing all the way from two to four
dollars each, and the orchids and other
| flowers, including great feathery chry-
santhemums, are comparatively high
priced; but the economy comes in using
the flowers over and over again, their
lasting qualities and their naturalness
saving hundreds of dollars to one who
entertains much during the season.
Usually in connection with the artih-
cial flowers some genuine flowers are
used in order to make the deception
complete.
