Sociability.


1t Is a joyous thing to dwell
Within a modern fiat,
Because it's never hard to tell
What every one is at.
When only classic gems are played
You know that guests are there.
In family parties, undismayed,
They sing rag-time air.
And when a creaking sound is heard
OF castors overhead,
Some furniture is being stirred
A wardrobe or bed.
At morn you know the sun is high,
Since childish sports enthuse;
At night you know they're sleepy by
The dropping of the shoes.
A palace as my habitat
Would seem like loneliness.
I'd rather have my chummy flat
Besides, it's cost is less.

ness of Heart.

Courtesy is a quality of the heart
and suggests a forgetfulness OF self, a
refinement and delicacy of tempera-
ment that prompts the charming act
as impulse.
The gentle spirit of courtesy be-
trays itself in the manner of address
ing servant or weary assistant be-
hind the counter as well as friends
and acquaintances. A lack of courtesy
often results from a mistaken idea as
20 ones own importance. The thought
Is born in the heart; but false idea
of independence presents action. 1t
merely Is an act of courtesy and a
mark Of nobleness of mind voluntarily

confuses frankness with rudeness. II

petty receptions that mar our social

GONE POINTS ABOUT NEEDLES.
The Evolved Product of Centuries Of
Invention.

The point Of a needle is a very i'm
portant part Of that useful little in
strument, and there are many points
about needles calculated to interest
the general public. The daily con.
sumption of needles all over the world
Is something like 100000, while
every year the women of the United
States break, lose and use some 300.-
100000 OF those tiny tools. Few peo-
pie while threading a needle have
ever given thought to the various
processes through which the wire
must pass before 1t comes out q
needle. Yet the manufacture OF
needles includes some 81 different
processes from cutting the wire and
threading the double needles by the
eyes to separating the two needles on
the one length of wire, heading, hard
ening In OIL cleaning out the sides OF
the eye. point-setting. and final pol
ishing. For wrapping purple paper is
used, since 1t prevents rusting. There
are many sorts OF needles, for sur
geons, cooks, glovemakers', weavers',
sailmakers', broommakers', milliners'
and dressmakers' use. The needle is
the evolved product OF centuries Of
invention. In its primitive form 1t
was made OF bone, ivory, or wood.
Point by point its manufacture has
improved, until this little but not in.
