of the same material. You can rufus
them with some of the same. or get
some Of the inexpensive laces to edge
!, them with. They are so easy to laun-
der. and look so much daintier than
anything else, that it is q wonder that
these materials are not used instead OF
the silk and velvet that catch dust and
odors and hold them.
i Not long since l was calling upon
a friend who complained of suffering
from terrible headaches, but could nc1
divine their cause. as she was in mod
i erately good health. She said that her
eyes panied her so that she could I'D
longer read with any comfort. 1 sus-
4 sested that her glasses might be the
cause. She acted upon the suggestion
and found that wearing glasses insult
ed to her eyes was the actual cause OF
her suffering. / mention this because
| am confident that great many men
and women suffer from headache and
sore eyes who would see the trouble
vanish quickly enough if they would
secure glasses or have those they ara
wearing changed. The eye is delicate
/ instrument, and it does not take much
to hurt it permanently.
| The best of all rules for successful
housekeeping, and making both ends OF
the year meet, is pay as you go" Be-
ycnd all countries in the world ours Is
the one in which the credit system is
the most abused and most used. Pass
books are the bane and pest of domestic
economy, perpetual plague, vexatioa
and swindle. Abused by servants at the
store and house, disputed constantly by
housekeepers and Dealers they ara
temptations to all parties to do wrong.
But the worst of it is that housekeepers
are tempted to order what they have
RI nd yx-b.
the time comes for settlement they ara
| straitened. A family can live re-
specially on a very moderate sum if
they take the cash in hand and buy
where they can buy to the best advan-
| tage. Then they will be careful first I'd
get only what is necessary. Extra COM
forts will be had if they can afford
them. But it is bad policy to buy OH
credit. No wise dealer sells so cheaply
as for cash.
Wall paper samples are deceptive.
Never select from them. They will
make your room look smaller, quite
often, tho they had not that effect in
the sample. Select from the roll and
have several strung out at once. so thar
you may get the full effect.
short woman thinks she looks very
much taller for wearing long wasted
ror. but she fOrgets that what she adds
above she cuts off below, and did she
look in a long pier glass she would see
that by apparently shortening her skirts
she loses far more in hight than she
gains. The shorter the woman, the
shorter should be her waist and the
longer her skirt to give her hight. Long
lines from the shoulder to the foot give
hight, while horizontal lines crossing
the figure shorten it.
AS soon as the babies are old enough
TO ask for: and get their own toys and
plays from the box or closet they iare :
old enough to be taught to put them
away. Make them feel ashamed Of.
leaving their things about for mother
to put away. 1t will require mine of :
patience to make them understand that
they are as well able to pick up as to-
scatter, and for a long time you will
find them needless and careless. I'm
pose some light fine or discipline fur
breaking over the rules you have made
Do not expect to succeed the first time
of telling. or the 51st, of the 101st. Line
upon line is the only way to manage
children. Perseverance will conquer in
the end. Your child will acquire the
habit of order and be the better
for the battle of life. Children
can be taught to take pride in keeping
their little possessions to order, and the
mistake we make in their education is
in not giving sufficient weight to the
fact that constant repetition is neces-
sary to impress firmly upon their minds
anything we wish to teach, and that
habits are formed by successive daily
acts.
1t is not really necessary to varnish
an oil painting. and if it is done it
should not be until the painting is sew
eral months old. A spirit of copal var
nish should be used, and it should be
applied.
To do ornamental frosting, draw one
of the small glass syringes full of the
icing and arrange it in any design you
like. Another way is to fill a cone of
thick white paper and let the icing run
thru. but it is not as successful as the
other way.
II you want the new paint on your
house to be neat and clean as we'll as
lasting, have it done this Autumn, in
stead of waiting till Spring. Paint put
on in the Fall lasts much better, and is
not spoiled by the little gnats that are
so troublesome in the early Spring.
well-bred young lady is always
ready to show attention and deferen 20
TO an elder lady, and if she sees that
the lady does not recognize her, it is
her duty to speak first. because young
people grow out of the recognition OF
elderly people very fast, and they are +
always pleased to receive attention from
hem. Indeed. young girl will show
aer innate kindness of heart by the
title attentions she pays to her elders
nore than in any other way both in
general society and in the home circle.
