ing on pillows take one 10 camp with

cups. dish cloths and plenty Of towels,

lie. The pictures exhibited In these

without q doubt and may be said fairly
to reflect the prevailing artistic senti-

comeliness IS a matter OF tradition and
artificial establishment Eastern peO-
pie by reason Of their SNUG self-satis-
faction and limited opportunities for
travel are deprived OF many Of the joys
or living. and among these pleasures is
that Of sdmiring really handsome wom-
men. We acknowledge the beauty Of the
East which calls for worship on the
part of mankind generally, but as one
star differs from another in glory, so
does the beauty of the East and the
West differ in soul-bewitchinE qualities.

Artistic Rag Rugs

Women with the artistic eye have
lately been using in their homes rugs
and floor mats woven OF rags. such as
old-fashioned carpets used 70 be made
OF.
A weaver CT rag carpets and rugs

who wish 70 change their rags into hand

odd pieces. etc, laying them in heaps
according TO their color, white in one,

scraps. no matter what color, IN anoth-

The next step IS to tear them into
strips a little over half an inch wide 1t
viii take one and one-half pounds Of
these strips TO make one yard Of rag
carpet. and after tearing. these should
be sewn together. Start the ends and
join with an overlapping arrangement,
just as you sew crinoiine, to avoid a
seam mark.
Stockings should be cut round and
round. begiLdIng at tbs top OF the leg,
and unless a black border Is desired,
should be sewn alternately with color.
Old outing flannel. cotton blankets. and
wooden ones. too, make up into suDstan-
tial mats for the bathroom, while those
made OF blue. and white rags are dainty
for bedrooms.

To Keep Children HeoIftu

Regular feeding. pure air. free sun
shine. water. freedom IN dress. and
cleanliness should be the inheritance Of
every child. Do not cover the child's
head while ne sleeps. nor keep him in
an unventilated room. Knowing that
the atmosphere Is forty miles deep, it
certainly is a useless piece Of economy
to inhale the same air more than once.
First. let the child sleep in a cool. we'll
aired room, and, II possible, In the
morning give the bath. then take him
outdoors. where he should remain not
less than six hours Water should be
given before each feeding. and not less
than six times a day. Every element OF
the body, except the enamenl OF the
teeth. contains salt. therefore il Is nee
essary that plenty OF salt be given the
child. With the free use of salt in the
food during the first two years IN life
the second set OF teeth will be much
better.

WHAT CALL YE JUSTICE?

What call ye justice? Is there one who

Are ye ali pure? Let those stand forth
