For the School ChiIdreH

The September number of the
New Idea Womau's Magazine
contains several articles which
will be of great practical help
to. those WIN have to provide
and care for the needs of school
children. Our regular dress ar
ticle is devoted to a discussion
of the necessities which the
wardrobe of a girl going away
to school or college should con-
tain. Read a college Girls
Outfit" before sending a young
member of your family away for
a years absence. Those to
whom the packing of the school
luncheon basket is a daily bug
bear will find much valuable in
formation in an article on this
subject by Elizabeth W. Morri-
son. 1.-THE Children's study
Room at Home" contains direc-
tions to provide suitable place
for the growing children to
study. The calelessuess preva-
lent in American homes in this
respect shows that it is not re-
allied sufficiently that. if chill
dren have only a corner which
they can call their own, their
pride in it often becomes a
strong incentive to good work.
Many suggestions for school
clothes for both boys aud girls
are found among the September
patterns.

- 49, o~ SoS ~AA~NOS'
For several days Malta, the
cat, had been carrying away
scraps of dry bread from her
plate and. knowing that she
would scorn to eat it herself, I
watched one morning to see
what she did with it. She took
the bread to spot under the
c1rrant bushes, broke it up with
her teeth and paws. scattered it
on the ground, crept under a
bush and waited. Presently the
gentle waving of her tail and
the greenish light in her eyes
showed that she saw what she
was waiting for. There was a
sudden spring, the agonized cry
OF a bird, and Malta, growing,
disappeared under the barn,
holding in her teeth a sparrow,
which, attracted by the crumbs,
had fallen a victim to her crafty
trick.

New England

II is a matter of history that
New England opposed every
territorial acquisition made by
the Republic. The Louisiana
Purchase was fiercely assaulted
east of the Hudson, and was
not finally accepted till the
close OF the Mexican war The
cession of Florida also drew
forth much denunciation from
that quarter New England
was thrown into an indignant
fever, which was intensified by
the acquisition of California,
Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada
and Utah. The Gadsden Pur.
chase was another cause Of
grief among our Puritan 6reth'
ern. They were willing the
British should control the
sources of,the MIsaissippi, the
Key to the Great Lakes and the

A naked house, a naked moor,
A shivering pool before the

A garden bare OF flowers aud

And poplars at the garden foot;
Such is the place that 1 live in.
Bleak without aud bare within.
Yet shall your ragged moors re-

The Incompatible pomp of eve,
And the cold glories of the
dawn
Behind your shivering trees DE

And when the wind from place

Doth the unmoored cloud gal

Your garden blooms and CLEANS

With leaping sun and glanciug

Here shall the wizard moon
ascend
The heavens, in the crimson end
Of days declining splendor; here
The army of the stars appear.
The nelghbor hollows. dry or

Spring shall with tender flowers
beset,
And oft the morning muser see
Larks rising from the broomy
lea,
And every fairy wheel and
thread
OF cobweb dew bediamonded.
When daisies go shall winter
time
Silver the simple grass with
rime;
Autumual frosts enchaut the

AND make the cart ruts beauti

And when snow bright the moor
expands,
How shall your children CLAP

THE ARTISTIC WALL.
One Of solid Color viii Always alive
Best Effect.

The dearest, daintiest, most artistic
wall is a solid colored wall. 1t fur
nishes a perfect background for all
kinds of pictures, II throws them out
In their correct proportions, and does
not detract from their artistic value.
The solid colore6 wall Is also much
better as a background for furniture,
and harmonizes much more artistical-
ly with carpets and rugs than any
other method Of wall treatment. The
less breaking up OF color on a wall
the more artistic 1t is.
The most successful form OF the
solid colored wall is an alabastined
wall. There Is as much difference be-
tween tinted walls, as there is be-
tween shoddy and Atwood gowns. The
shoddy gown holds its color for few
days, while the Atwood keeps its color
to the very last thread, SO also in solid
colored walls, there are shoddy walls
and permanently colored walls which
retain their color down to the very
last particle. The ideal wall coating
never rubs OFF, never fakes nor chips
off and is always ready for fresh
coat. II there is wallpaper on the
wall, soak 1t off with warm water,
then 60 over the plaster after you
have removed the paper with warm
water to remove every trace of paste.
Have the wall thoroughly clean for q
clean wall cannot be built on an un-
clean foundation. If there are any
particles Of foreign matter adhering
to the wall scrape them off with a
putty knife. Then II there are any
discolorations on the wall, size it with
a material made from cheap varnish,
thinned down with benzine and japan
added for a drier, then cover your
wall with your tinting material
Be sure your man uses a tinting ma.
terial mixed with cold water. III he
comes to you and asks for warm wa
ter, you can make up your mind that
there Is glue in the material which he
proposes to put on your wall, and you
can be certain that you are going to
have shoddy wall, for glue means
sboddy. Glue means that 1t will hold
its color long enough for the man to
collect his bill and not much longer.
Insist on your tintlng material being
mixed with clear. cold water. Be sure
that your wall is made from pure ma.
terials. then you will have a perma-
nent. artistic, sanitary wall A wall
that will be thing Of beauty and
Joy forever"
