Shifting Needle Cushions

yesi II does all these pleasant things,
but It Is a delusiOn and {. snare. just
the same-fOr II absorbs and retains
moisture. Therefore, needles that are
kept in a wool-stuffed cushion rust soon
er and worse than in any other kind.
Very fine cork dust is good because
light and. non-absorbent- Bran IS good,
but not light Sawdust is heavy and alb
sorbent. Bran or sawdust are good for
large cushions TO slide around very read
uy.
But for small cushions that are needed
in ones work basket, and in which some
one needle may not Ne used for months,
the most satisfactory stuffing is human
hair. II neither absorbs nor retains
moisture, and IL Is light and springy.

Rugs Made From Rags

Cut any piece Of old material which
you may have, whether they be of cot
ton. silk or wooden, into strips about
half an inch wide and sew them to-
gether, hit and miss. Wind them IN
balls.
With a large crochet needle. made out
of a piece of hickory or hard wood
olaned smoothly, make loop with one
rnd Of the strip. then crochet a single
loop with the needle, wrap the strip
around the needle once, then crochet
around loop. This will leave one stitch
upon the needle.
Repeat and crochet, going round and
round until you get the rug the size
you want Il.
These mats may be made round,
square or oblong, and VIII be found
most needful for rooms which have pol
lshed floors. or for floors that are COW
cred with mating. They are also very
useful In the kitchen. as they are easily
aiken up and shaken.
When the rug Is finished, the end Of
the strip must be sewed down with
Ftrong thread, so that the crOcheting
will not ravel. II IL is preferred, the
rug may be given out to professional
rag rug makers and they will be made

which flowers are painted; in ''pauache'

considered in good taste. The sticks
were Chinese and really pretty and
new. Lace fans. which are always both
rich and pretty. are invariably mounted
on tortoise shell or mother OF pearl,

prettier mounting and lending itself
with better grace 20 the diamond or

signs OF gOld-almOst too good for use.
The half hoops that fans have had Til
now have given place 20 tiny old chain
hoops which are ever so much nicer
than the old half hoops. which always
looked hand and stiff. The chains. too
have the advantage Of being newer
which is a great point in their favor.

The BuCR Ydrd

If yc-s would know woman in her
true light look at her back yard II IT
is strewn with tin cans. and rank with
weeds, you may know that she is not
sincere and that her life IS made up OF
petty shams and pretenses, but if the
garbage can. well covered, stands at the
end of a neat walk on either side OF
which a little plot OF grass Is growing
she is worthy Of trust and is all that
she claims 10 be.
Just because a high board fence hap
pens to shut of the back yard from
public view Is no reason that IL should
be allowed to provide the dumping
ground for kitchen and cellar. The idea
of having the front yard a bower OF
flowers and the back yard a heap Of
The backyard. fence or no fence, must
be as pleasing 10 the eye as the 'front.'

Pressing Small Pieces

IT may not always be convenient to
have hot iron at hand to press a small
piece just at the moment one needs IL,
but the difficulty may be readily rene

GlUm9 Awap Flo1oerS

No woman except the one who loves
flowers and yet for some reason has
no garden can realize how much people
appreciate the gift Of a bunch Of sweet
peas or any other of the summer flowers.
II more Of them did understand this,
there would be special beds planted
and cared for so that others might have
some OF the enjoyment that they are
necessarily deprived Of.
Many a woman picking a bunch Of
flowers hands il carelessly over the
back fence TO a nelghbor, but she sell
dom ever knows how much pleasure II
gives. A bouquet OF simple wayside
bowers left at the door OF a sick friend
does more good than many a dose OF
medicine or firing visit.
In planting flowers IL IS well 10 re-
member this and either plan FOR the
extra bed or put in a double amount of
seeds. II will take but little more
care and time. Every time a bouquet
is picked II can be divided and the
other half given to some flower lover
who has none of her own. II viii not
only make happiness for others but viii
cultivate a disposition of thoughtful
ness and generosity as well.

Clocks and Their Striking

The clock Of our grandfather's time
came from England, and struck every
quarter Of an hour
Another ancient one plays old songs
and hymns instead OF striking.
still another contains not only a
cuckoo, but also a hooking bird, which
alternate in their cries.
A clock that was once very common
portrays stars. moon and sun, moving
slowly overhead as the clock strikes.
A heavy striking clock Is made for q
library, not for a bedroom.
Fit the clocks to the general appear
ance Of the room. Often they are the
only misfit things in II.
Those little gilt clocks, with the in
ternittent alarm which rings at inter
walls Of a half-minute each for twenty
minutes, are just the thing for Miss
Lte-a-bed.
After all, one grows almost to love the
striking of ones own particular clock.
and sometimes the striking OF a once
familiar clock awakens long-dead mem
cries.
