Wild Rose and sunflower Cushions.

The petals of white, pink or whatever
the color may be, are cut from the tied
ends of the ribbon and knotted to imi-
tate the scalloped edges of the real
leaves, but If a pansy or a daisy Is to
be fashioned, the petals are turned
down slightly at either side and the
effect Is decidedly natural. Artificial
centers may either be bought for a
small sun or made by working French
knots of embroidery silk and attach
ing them to twisted threads waxed so
they will stand up in place.
A pretty cushion that is even less
difficult to make is fashioned out of a
round piece of cardboard. covered with
silk, with a layer of cotton batting be-
meath. On top two or three roses in
a cluster make this cushion effective
and decorative. At the top a twisted
piece of ribbon Is sewed to the edge
so it can be hung up.
Flower pin cushions are not the
only floral decorative pieces that will
be used on dressing tables, for there
are hat pin and hair pin holders that
are made in imitation of apple bios
SONS and wild roses. These are easily
made by covering a glass tube with a
netting, to which the ribbons may be
sewed. About eight pieces of narrow
satin ribbon will cover an ordinary
tube. These pieces are sewed togeth-
err to make a bag and are held in place
at the top by a narrow piece of baby
ribbon. Above the baby ribbon, so the
petals fall over and inside the tube,
the petals of a rose or daisy are at
tached, and with yellow centers look
like a flower that has just burst into
full bloom.

HOW TO TREAT OBESITY.
Too Much Water or Juicy Food Things
to Be Avoided.

Drinking too much or eating too
clumsy, declares an obesity patient.
Possibly those who eat but little and
are still fat ~(unless they have fatty
degeneration, where all food turns to
fat drink enough to fill them out.
Most thin people drink too little, and
the majority of people drink too little
water. That is why there are more
thin than stout people,
Liquid taken into the system does
not pass out as soon as it enters, but
goes into the blood and all through the
body, and you know how heavy a gal
Ion of liquid is. Some people, in one
form or another, take almost a gallon
of liquid a day, and of course it makes
them fat and heavy. Another thing,
IL you drink less liquid, you will have
less appetite for food, SO reducing will
not be such a heroic undertaking.
Avoid things that make you thirsty,
as too much fruit, sweets, spiced foods,
pickles, salt and greasy foods, etc. II
you want to get rid of that tired feel
ing and be light on your feet, avoid
soups, stews, juicy fruit. liquor, etc.
The fat should let her preserv-
ing jars lie empty this year, as %jellies,
preserves and pickles only sharpen her
appetite and thirst. Cut off your water,
or rather liquid sspply, gradually, as
any sudden change to the system is
injurious.

The Disappearing Basque.

The tailor gowns are to be very trim
and delicate in outline, the large
clumsy Goa and the most u~nbecoming
long basque quite disappearing, and in
its place we are to have the smart and
graceful short coat in a great many
varieties with a small basque all
round, either smartly belted or fitting
easily to the figure or with the fronts
cut short and a large basque at the
back only. But n and all will have
some fine embroidery and braiding on
them on the one or two little waist.
coats and on the cuffs to the almost
inevitable three-quarter sleeves. which
are TO be fuller and much decorated

To crystalize Rose Petals.

Select perfect, fragrant blossoms,
separate into petals, spread on an in
verified sieve and stand in the air un-
til dry but not crisp. Make a heavy
strip. using one cup each graduated
sugar and water, and cook without
stirring until it spins a thread. Flavor
this strip with a few drops essence
of rose, and color with a tiny bit of
Cochineal. Now drop the leaves in
one by one, using a fine wire; take out
and drain on the creased sieve. Turn
once in the process of drying, which
will take several hours. If the leaves
then look preserved and clear they
will need no further dipping, but if the
petals seem dry and not candied dip
again, dust with sifted flour and dry.
Serve on bon bon saucers.

from a butcher. The pointed end Of
the skewer should be cut off, and
some pretty paper pasted on the ends
of the spools to cover the torn labels.
Then the spools are wound with
string. 1T is prettier if one spool is
used for colored string and the other
for white. The baby ribbon is tied
On each end of the stick in a many
looped bow, and carried up into a long
loop for hanging. This loop should be
arranged so that it may be united for
winding new string on the spools. 1t
is convenient to have a small pair of
scissors hanging with the roller.

PIN CUSHIONS IN FLORAL DE-
VICES ARE POPULAR.
Old Forms Of This Useful Adjunct to
Toilet Table Replaced by De.
signs Prettier and Fully as
Adequate for Purpose.

Pin cushions in floral devices have
quite supplanted the more prosaic and
stereotyped forms which have long
been indicative of this toilet necessity,
and bureaus, ~chiffoniers and toilet
tables will this winter blossom out in
to regular flower gardens with their
new appointments.
Effective as these cushions are, they
are simple to make, and any woman
fond of fancy work will have no diff
ficulty in fashioning a wild rose or a
gorgeous sunflower pin cushion for the
bureau.
Simplest OF these cushions are
made in the shape of a bag, the top of
which spreads out into a pretty bios
SOM. For the bottom of the bag a
square or round piece of cardboard is
drst covered with white or colored

Wife pesertlon Alarms.

So many Cincinnati wives have been
deserted by their husbands of late that
the city council has taken steps to-
ward putting a check on such run
Always. 1t has been found that mort
gage loan sharks are contributing fac
tors in a great many cases. A mans
ability to mortgage his furniture with
out the knowledge of his wife is a
strong temptation to husbands of weak
will. An ordinance has been intro
duced making such mortgage of no
avail unless they bear the signature of
both husband and wife.

Keep in Good Health.

There are many thousands of peo
pie all owe the world who a at
tribute their good health to taking one
of two Brandreth's Pills every night.
These pills cleanse the stomach and
bowels, stimulate the kidneys and
liver and purity the blood. They are
the same fine laxative tonic pills your
grandparents used, and being purely
vegetable they are adapted to children
and old people, as well as those in
the vigor of manhood aud w~omanhood,
Brandreth's pills have been in use
for over a century and are for sale
everywhere, plain or s-ugar-coated.

SpanqIed Gowns.

The best thing to do with a worn.
out spangled gown is to purchase at
once a new robe and lay In right e
the old chiffon and silk foundation.
Spangled gowns are by no mean OBJ
solete and, according to all present in
dications, bid fair to be more popular
this year than ever before and the
only danger is by their becoming too
numerous to remain quite smart.
Then, too, the most effective robes are
ridiculously inexpensive this year and
the most of them seem to be of good
net. which is al all-important consid-
Grafton. Too fine or too stiff a net is
to be avoided, for. in all probability. it
will scarcely stand the making up.

Being an occasional c~hurch-goer ne

properly and preserve his equanimity
through any ordinary service. His
family was therefore somewhat curl

one Sunday noon with a most discon.

his wife.
"Oh, the sermon was all right, l

"Nothing's the matter" he retorted
sharply. Cant a man look solemn

ligious service without causing a riot

His wife said nothing for a time,
and then, with happy inspiration,
asked casually:
How much did you put In the con
tributjon box today"
There was a pronounced pause, and
then the reply came with serious de
liberation.
"Seventy-five cents
Wasn't that rather liberal?' she in

Rather" he answered. Rather
liberal, 1t struck ne. Rather too lib

Then he chuckled and vent on with
out further urging.
You see, 1t was this way: | was
sitting alone in a back seat on the
side aisle. When the deacon started
down for the contribution l felt for
some change and found | had just two
pieces, a quarter and a half. Some
how | felt pretty good natured, and
was thinking of putting in the half
instead of the quarter as usual. While
| was celebrating I'm blessed If the
half didn't slip out of my fingers and
roll out into the aisle, close to the
second pew in front. | didn't want
to scramble for it then, and figured
| could get 1t at the close of the serv'
ice. So | sat back and waited for the
box to come along and dropped in the
quarter.
Just as he got to me the deacon
noticed that he was half a lap ahead
of the deacon on the other side anC
stopped to wait. And, naturally, while
he was waiting, his eyes lit on the
%half-dollar lying in the aisle in from

And what did that old sinner d.

Then he added, chuckling again
What I'm wondering o is whethe

You won't get credit for any of 1t,
observed his wife. "St. Peter'll chez

"Thatd be a mean trick" he re
sponded, as he reached for his Sunda
