Seasons Style Leans Toward the japanese Effect -
Bobbin Lace

In making bohbin lace, II is con.
venient to know that, after the initial
stitches are known. the simple lace can
be copied by making a blue print from a
small piece Of lace desired, picking the
holes n It, using it as pattern for a
scallop or two and then constructing q
complete pattern from IT,
Any Of the lace paper patterns should
have a piece Of parchment of the same
width wound about the loom spool be-
meath them.
The parchment is very tough, and
keeps the paper from tearing with
the repeated pinnings. and thus draw
ing the lace out Of shape.

Soothing a Crying Baby

Some one has suggested that hyp-
notism is needed in the quieting Of a
refractory infant. There IS a good deal
Of truth IN this probably facetious state
ment-
When a child cries for no apparent
cause-when neither hunger nor pain,
nor discomfort is at fault then the
probable reason is nervousness and IT,
ritability. In this case, IL only aggra-
Yates the complaint to attempt to
soothe the baby by jumping it. dangling
keys before IT, and otherwise distracting
its attention.
What Is needed Is rest and quiet. not
excitement The child's nerves should
be soOthed by slow rocking to sleep, not
wildly excited by confusion and noise.
1t would be we'll to remember this rule
when you are next confronted in a car
or other public place by a wailing child.
Put back the cookie or the loudly tick
ing watch you were about to offer him,
and instead let MIN severely alone until
his mother gets him to SLEEP, or at least
silent and peaceful.

One Exception

We praise her doughnuts and her pies.
Her biscuit and her cake;
But where's the man who signs for
pants
Like mother used to make?
She used to take a pair Of pas.
When they were worn and fEayed,
And decorate them with a patch
OF some contrasting shade.
And cut them OF about the knees
And take the waist IN, too,
Ard say that they for every day
Were just the thing for you.
And then she sent you off TO school,
And when you didn't go,
She wondered what got into boys
That they played truant so.
Yesrstin we praise her jam, her 'jell. -
Her coffee and her steak
But where's the man VINO signs for
pants
Like mother used to make?

Leather THINNING

Leather. when considered as a trim
ming. is never cheap. but here the
woman of ingenuity finds a way out. She
is able to supply herself with a suffi-
cient amount of leather for a narrow
collar. or for the trimming of pockets,
or for the piping of a pair OF cuffs,
without spending a great deal of money.
Odd thin bits of leather can be bought
cheapIy Of the leather dealers. and there
are always old white leather belts and
the discarded tops of white gloves that
can be pressed into service. With a
little dye the desired color can be OBJ
tanned, and the rest depends merely
upon ones taste in using the bits to best
advantage

French Embroidery

French em5,oldc y or satin stitch is
usually highly rafte9 before being
worked. and it 4 only after --,uch prac-
tice that one beCrwe- rally an expert.
In the hning ~ pad6irE lies the Sc
cret OF all good ssstu stitch. Tor II the
former is badly deaa no amount OF az
ter care will produce a smooth effect.
An uneven running u- Earning stitch
is the best padding use for small
figures, though rows OF chain or out
spaces.
Work as many rows a s desired. one
on top Of the other. but be sure to
keep an even outline and haze the last
or uppermOst row Of padding perfectly
smooth
This padding should be done with the
work held IN the frame but most peo-
pie find that the satin stitch works best
when held in the hand.

Fatal Mistakes

A great many people seem 10 think
that the marriage ceremony absolves
them from all further courtesies to the
person whom they have married.
After that they are always in negli-
gee. both as TO manners and clothes,
when they are ct home.
This is a fatal mistake Because a
woman is married is no excuse for her
going untidy about the house and telling
heT husband home truths thai hurt his
vanity.
Because a woman is his wife gives a
man no right to say thi lgs 20 her he
would not dare 10 say TO any other lady
who possesses d Dig. able-bodied brother.
Good manners are the preservation or
peace and concord in any climate
The problem OF how TO be happy
though married is really no problem at
all.
1t is merely fair dealing In fair part
nership-giving the other party the same
privileges and perquisites you assume
FOR yourself.

Household Notes

To remove dried tea stains, apply
equal parts of yoke Of eggs and glyeer-
inc to the stain. and allow to dry.
Rinse well IN clean cold water. This
will be found excellent for an afternoon
tea cloth which must not be boiled on
account OF its delicate coloring.
To clean finger marks on doors, rub
with a piece OF flannel dipped IN kerO-
sene oil. The marks viii disappear like
magic. Afterward wipe with a clean
cloth wrung out az hot water 70 take
away the smell. This Is also excellent
for cleaning vaTnlshed hall doors.

jury, Says Haywood.
Denver, April GA special to the
News from Boise, Ida, contains a
statement from William D. Haywood,
secretary of the Western Federation
of Miners, now in prison there in con-
nection with the assassination of ex-
Governor Steunenberg, commenting
upon certain references to him by
President Roosevelt in letters to J. S.
Sherman of New York, given publicity
through the Roosevelt-Harriman ep-
isode. The statement reads:
ct do not desire to make an extend
ed statement with regard to President
Roosevelt's reference to me in his
letter to Congressman Sherman.
"The president says that I am an
undesirable citizen, the inference be-
ing that as such should be put out
of the way His influence is all power
full and his statement, coming as it
does on the eve Of my trial for my
life, will work me irreparable injury
and do more to prevent fair trial
than everything that has been said and
done against me in the past
"President Roosevelt is t'e leading
exponent Of the doctrine CT fair play
and a square DEAL but his reference
to me in his letter to Sherman demon
strates that he does not practice what
he breaches"
