If a rug is inclined to curl at the

with a thin piece of lead. Make a
small pocket, shaped at the corners,
insert the lead, which will weight the
corners sufficiently to keep them in
place. Occasionally the whole side of a
rug will curl up. In this ease a strip
long enough to run the entire length
should be put in.

A great many people use the eyebrow

as it gives an artificial look and Is
easily detected. Rub a little vaseline
into the eyebrows at night before re-
firing, taking care to follow the line OF
the brow. Just the smallest alnoun
may be rubbed to the eyelashes. This
will cause them TO grow darker and

Most charming and original bows
to wear with stiff collars may be
made of net edged with valenciennes.
If butterfly design is selected that
requires to be stiff to show to best ad-
vantage, the finest white hat wire may
be purchased and sewn around where
the lace and net join. This will make
1t both stiff and attractive, and so
long as the wire is not allowed to
bend out of shape the bow will always
look fresh.
When washing time comes the
whole thing may be thrown into the
tub, but, of course, not wrung out,
or the wire will break. Such bows
as these are ideal for travelling, for
they may be washed out and allowed
to dry over night, and when the time
comes to put them on the lace edging
may be pulled out with the fingers,
while the wire may be bent back to
keep the net spread out. u -! i

Soon Ned was at the barn where

some bushes that grew by the river.
Ned lived with his father on a

Now try it on and carefully mark

Niagara falls for his topic.
''He told us about the geological

gorge, and then went on to say that
the falls were slowly wearing back
toward Buffalo, and that in the course
of some 100000 years they would have
worn back to Erie; Pa, and that town
would be left high and dry.

ter Of drawers may be made so cas-
lily and so very inexpensively that they
are we'll worth trying. A pasteboard
box, measuring five or six inches
square, is selected, and six small
jewel boxes are found to fit into it
like drawers. The large box and the
front of the small one are covered
with silk and white shoe buttons are
sewed as handles on the latter and
the gift is finished. 1t is intended, Of
course, to use for the little details of
the infant toilet, and some people
mark each box so that a glance at the
same will tell the contents. The six
necessities are large and small safety
pins, drawing strings, little mouth
rags, small bits of absorption cotton,
while nail scissors and gold studs may
be kept in the same drawer.
