LACKING IN COMMON SENSE.
Smart People Without the Soldering
Balance Wheel.

Among the most aggravating things
to deal with in life is the talented or
smart woman who has very little com.
mon sense.
There is the young girl, in dire need
Of money, but with a clever talent for
making sketches that would make
her independent
A friend, after infinite trouble, gets
her an order from leading caterer
for dinner cards, that might have been
the beginning Of an artistic career and
would have kept the wolf from the
door at the start, but the young wom-
an turns up her nose at the very sug-
gestion.
There is the little dressmaker, with
the fingers of an artist, struggling
along, unknown and unpatronized- A
good samaritan Of a woman induces a
society friend whose work alone means
a fortune, to try her, but the senseless
dressmaker does not keop her first
engagement and loses her opportunity
There is the needy woman for whom
dozens OF people nave moved heaven
and earth to get her position and
when she took it put on. such top lofty
airs ard discoursed SO continually on
her past splendors and patronized her
employers so until she made herself
unendurable and lost her place
Everybody has had experiences of
like character and knows that the
most impossible and hopeless and dis
couraging and heart breaking thing in
the world is to attempt to try to help
these smart women without sense.
If you are worrying along with any
Of these types Of senseless smart wom-
en- drop them like hotcakes, for you
can never hope to see any improve
ment in them.

IDEAS FOR THE HOSTESS
Manufacture of Potato Dolls Afforded Amusing Entertain
at One Luncheon Celebration of Crystal We'd
ding Rag Party" New Form of Diversion

After a most delightful luncheon
given by talented hostess, this novel
entertainment was provided. The re-
past had been served at small tables
and we were told to retain our places
while the young daughter Of the house
passed to each lady a well-washed po-
tato Of rather long, slender shape.
Then each was given four small wire
hairpins, four black-headed tacks, two
fancy paper napkins with gayiy col
ored borders, and a supply Of pins.
There were scissors and tubes Of
library paste close at hand
The instructions were to build a
doll, prize was offered for the best
and poorest specimen. The ladies
worked with amazing zeal for this go
ing back to childhood days was thor
oughly enjoyed. None of them had
lever manufactured potato" dolls be-
fore, but nearly every one confessed
to the clothespin variety, and it was
surprising to see the array Of attract
i've little figures that emerged from
the hands Of these erstwhile creative
artists.
The hairpins were used for arms
and legs, the tacks made eyes, nose
and mouth, and it was astonishing the
variety Of facial expressions achieved.
All sorts Of garments we're made from
the napkins, which were pinned and
pasted into shape. There were wee
babies, children, Japs in kimonas, sun
bonnet toddlers, ladies Of high and low
degree, all acknowledging a common
potato for their origin.
When the dolls were displayed upon
a table the collection was so fascinat-
ing that one of the guests begged for
it to be taken to charity kindergar-
ten in the slums. There the children
hailed the treasures with delight and
the teacher received an inspiration for
a new diversion. The prizes awarded
for the best doll was large sweet
potato pie piled high with fluffy merin-
que, made by a Kentucky 'aunty;" the
consolation offering was several quarts
Of new potatoes in a green basket tied
with ribbon.

For a Crystal Wedding.

From Canadian correspondent this
time there comes a request for the de-
scription of the Crystal wedding
which is the fifteenth anniversary.
The invitations should be written, or,
better still, engraved as for any even
ing party; If desired, the date Of mar
riage and the present date may be at
the head of the sheet SO the guests
may figure for themselves the occa-
sion Of the company.
OF course the dining-room table will
be the center Of attraction, and It
should be kept as nearly all white as
possible, Use a glass bowl filed with
white roses or carnations sprinkled
with diamond dust for the center
piece; glass candlesticks with white
shades Cut glass or rock crystal
(should the hostess be fortunate
enough to possess it, should hold salt
ed almonds and bonbons.
Serve a salad, sandwiches, ice cream
or an ice in tall glasses. The candles
placed around the rooms may be coat
ed with diamond dust by first dipping
them in mucilage; the effect is very
pretty. Place cards may be treated in
the same way. also tiny boxes filled
with wedding cake; the monogram and
date may be put on with gold paint;
they make appropriate souvenirs.
Toasts to the host and hostess and
a programme Of we'll selected songs
add much to the enjoyment of the
evening. If desired, the bride and
groom's cake may be baked in heart
shaped pans; they are newer than the
round or square tins.
If expense does not enter into con
sideration in preparing for this occa-
sion, the small hand mirrors IDOL
size) would be charming souvenirs.
The date or name could be written on
the glass or a card tied to the handle.

The word "thimbles' on the cards
received by 20 young matrons who
were frequently entertained at each
others houses was the clew to the ma
ture Of the afternoons occupation, but
no one was prepared for the kind Of
sewing provided by the hostess.
"Of course you all know" she said,
that the very newest thing in the rue
line is no more, no less, than the ole
fashioned rag carpet Of our grand
mothers day? Only they are nc
longer carpets, but rugs" SO saying
she produced boxes Of assorted colors
Of rags cut into strips. Only cotton
pieces were used; bits of denim, ging
ham and outing flannel. They are
called Pilgrim" rugs and by some are
designated as "arts and crafts" A
pound and half ball Of rags weaves
into a square yard rug. very eff
fective pattern is evolved by using
blue rugs woven with a white warp
and the ends finished with white
knotted fringe. These rugs lauuder
well and are especially adapted to
bath and bedrooms. There is such a
rug epidemic sweeping over the land
that several men know have tlrned
the key in their closets; one chap
mournfully said that he had only one
wearable set of pajamas left and one
negligee shirt that was any good,
that his wife had contiscated every
thing else for her rugs, saying that 1t
was so much cheaper for her to make
the floor coverings than to pay store
prices" This man is still rejecting
upon the queer notions his wife has Of
economy. At the shops these crea-
tions retail for goodly sum, so If
time is Of no consequence a woman
with the help Of her friends at one or
two Sewing bees" may furnish her
chambers with very artistic and up-to-
date rugs at small expense.

DIVINE FIRE.

Genius is that gift of the gods which
makes a man eight feet tall In a
crowd
If he wishes to shake hands, no
body can reach up to him.
If he has a notion to kiss a pretty
girl. he has to stoop so enormously,
and make such spectacle Of himself,
that there's no fun in 1t.
In short, he is denied about all the
larger comforts.
Nor is he deserving OF any credit.
II anybody praises him, he Is not
tickled. knowing in his heart that he
can't help being a genius.
Prometheus was the first genius He
is still getting his, they say. Most
