Now she is fat and well and has

as marshal and Mrs. Kate S. Dyer as as
sistant marshal. The list of the officers
has already been printed.
After the installation ceremonies were
over, w. NJ. declared recess for supper. A
fine supper was served by the lady officers.
After supper the members adjourned to
the hall. Remarks for the good of the
order were next on the programme. Mrs.
Clara E. Valentine, installing officer, was
called upon, and responded with some
hel pful remarks especially to the younger
members. She was followed by others
and a pleasant social hour was passed
with remarks and songs.
Owing to illness and the condition Of

Come again.

IRISH MOLLY.

Dear NJ B. Friends:
When / opened The AMERICAN last week
and saw that none of the sisters had written
for the column l felt very guilty. Procrasti-
nation tmy stumbling block was the only
reason why there wasn't letter from me. Am
doing the same kind of work that l shall
when 1 am a real "old lady" sitting in the
chimney corner knitting, sewing, and doing
a little fancy work.
We have nice girl, who keeps the house
"spick and SPAN, and good cook, too. All
our names are off the sick list, so am taking
more comfort this winter than have for sew
eral winters.
Will tell you how l disposed of so many
pair of stockings and mittens hanging about
the store. Took two pieces of cretonne
twenty-three inches square, sewed edges to-
gether, turned, featherstitched across the
corners seven inches from the points, cut a
hole in centre for ring, used one from an
old wire tea-stand, demonstrating it into
place; made cord to hang it by by twisting
threads of silkateen to match those in the
cretonne. It proves both useful and orna-
mental.
l wonder if any of the sisters ever made
footstool cut of tin cans? For mine / used
one peach can for the centre and seven corn
cans for the outside. Place the cans in DO
sition and tie firmly together; place on piece
of thick cardboard; mark around edge; also
mark on paper and cut out so TO have pattern
for the top; sew strip of burlap firmly
around the cans; place the cardboard and
cans a circle of burlap that is several inches
larger and sew to the sides, pad the top with
excelsior and cover with another piece of
burlap; all of these must be sewed very
firmly. For the covering l used a pair of
green trousers, cut the top into seven TRAN
gular pieces, sew together, press. Pains
must be taken that this fits smoothly; sew to
burlap; cut oblong pieces and sew together
seam together; turn in edges and blind stitch
around top and bottom (the one made was
piped with red), and put button in the CEN
tire of the top.
Round pieces of leather cut from the tops
of old shoes are very useful when sewing but
tons ON mems and children's clothes. Place
the leather on the inside of the garment and
sew on the button in the usual manner.
little box of these pieces of leather may be
kept in the button-box or bag, and will save
time as well as garments.
In trimming lamps use a nail instead of
scissors to even the wicks; the wicks win last
longer and the blaze viii be more even.
Jan. IA, 1897. MAY.
1t is indeed pleasure to hear again
from you, May" and to know you are
