Since that time his condition has
been critical having suffered an at

the cause of his demise. Despite the
fact that he had been failing for

family. He was sitting in his fav-

EASILY MADE CASE
FOR EMBROIDERY SILK
A NECESSARY LUXURY

In these days, when hand embroid-
cry Is so much In demand, a neces-
sary article in embroidering is a case
for the embroidery silk 1t is neces-
sary luxury, for 1t keeps the silk and
floss from becoming mussed, raveled
and untidy. Its construction is quite
simple. and anyone who does any
amount of fancy work should spend
both the time, money and labor re.
quired to make this case rather than
be without It.
1t requires two pieces of cardboard
three inches wide and ten inches
long. A fancy silk or a piece of bro
caded or Dresden ribbon is used to
cover the outside. This should be
IN inches wide and IL inches long,
and lining OF white China silk the
same size is used. Three inches from
each end on the longest side sew q
piece OF ribbon an inch wide and join
1t to the opposite side. Now lay the
China silk and the ribbon together
evenly and sew through the middle,
crosswise, with two rows of stitching
quarter or an inch apart. Now place
the cardboard, which you have pre-
viously padded with layer of cotton
batting, into each side and baste the
outside covering and the lining to.
gether SO as to hold the cardboard in.
Now bind the four edges with the rib.
bon which was used for the little
straps. Take piece OF white flannel
eight inches long and two inches
wide and pink the edge. Slip this un-
der the two straps of ribbon on one
side OF the case. This is to hold
needles of all kinds and sizes. II the
silk which you use is cased in little
round paper holders slip several OF
them under the ribbon bands on the
other side of the cover.

Table Devices.

The furnishings for the modern ia.
BILE are so wholly unlike those of a
few years ago that the great change
is noticeable. In the first place the
modern table represents money, lots
of it, for the little contrivances are
enormously expensive. The round
table of piano finish is the proper
kind. The table linen set is cheap at
$12, but more fanciful ones with lace
insertion borders range near the 500
mark. The best Haviland in new
squatty designs, or the colonial style
with thin, breakable stems are again
to the fore. The alluring silver sets
are so different from what they used
to be. Finely polished wooden trays
are fitted with very high silver han
dies, and in the tray center will be
found the graceful tea urn with the
china and silver cups and saucers and
ether necessary articles placed around

New DecSyation.

The pretty and mgeniously con
trived floral "diabola" will appeal to
numberless devotees of the new game
as an item for table decoration The
body of the spool, a large pasteboard
one will do, is covered with tiny yell
low chrysanthemums, which, you
know, do not easily wilt, and the tires
are of mauve. The spinning cord and
wands are decked with any kind of
bright flowers and foliage. 1t can be
suspended from the chandelier over
the table and further decorated with
gauze butterflies.

Not Often Considered.

Many woE'en doctor necessarily for
their skin and neglect the most ordi-
nary precautions to keep it In good
condition.
Few realize the injury that can be
done to a delicate skin by using soiled
or Improperly laundered towels and
wash rags, or impure sponges.
Impure or hard water, especially
that in which there is great deal of
lime, is also harmful, while walking
in the wind and dust, without taking
proper precautions afterwards to
cleanse the face from the impurities
that clog the pores, will ruin even a
good skin.
