kind-hearted wayfarer once
paused to condole with a Dorset he'd
ger on the dullness and monotony of
his work. "Ah. well, SIR" the rustic
replied, lit all brings night" The end
OF his day was the one bright spot on
his horizon. The Japanese workman
takes happier view of his fate. goes
on with his task as long as it is pos

greet. When one lands in Japan one
receives the impression that bread
winning is there counted among the
pleasures of life.

and minute work of ivory-carving.
both laborer and artist seem to bring
to 1t the unspoiled joy of the born
worker, with whom patience and hope
run hand in hand. to complete the
task as perfectly as possible.
If they are content to apply them
selves to one slow task day in and day
out, it is because they manage to be
always interested in it, seeing in
every stroke a prophecy of the fair
result This holds most especially
with the craftsmen. who are really
artists. as the ivory-carvers are. and
as their ancestors for hundreds of
years have probably been. Not in one
or two generations can the unerring
eye, the firm but magically fine touch,
be developed. Ivory is a strange ma
terial; the most perfect-looking tusk
may prove to have internal situations
and flaws which necessitate modi-
fication of design when the work is
already well advanced. The tiny
"netsukes," of which collectors have
carried whole cargoes away, are
carved from the imperfect pieces
which could not otherwise be used.
Imagination is the special gift of
the ivory-carver; he needs 1t at every
turn. The man who sits, day after
day, evolving a whole procession of
elephants out of one huge tusk has
never seen more than one, and that

Waistcoat Decorations.

Since all the spring coats are being
made with waistcoats. 1t is necessary
TO embroider them in great many
novel and attractive ways. A favor
lite material for the waistcoat is sort
of fine canvas. which may be easily
embroidered in solid flowers. 1t is not
necessary to work very large design
or to shape it in any way; merely an
embroidered band down the front of
the vest is sufficient, and it makes
these little affairs very attractive.

right hand, but chiefly guided by the
thumb of the left, the carver smiles
at his own merry conceits, and for

Lad to be cast aside. He knows that
japan cannot do without him. for the
skilled carvers are few. and their
tasks very lengthy ones. The pro

reckoned in the commercial output OF
the country. like ceramics and lacquer
work. In almost all the other callings
whole family can be employed at
the same time, even the little children
helping in the primary processes; but
the carver works alone. and probably
requires much domestic waiting on

Far at the other end of the artistic
social scale sits the potter bending
over his work with face of mournful
intentness, his left hand mechanically
spinning his jar in its rounded socket
while the right shapes the brim to
smooth edge. Here is monotony in
deed, for the white or red or black
earthenware is very friable before
the last baking and only lends itself
to the simplest forms. The pure
white is devoted exclusively to fune-
real and religious uses, and has per
haps been adopted because such YES
sells must be of the most severe
shapes and quite without ornament.
The red or black clay is used for
everything else-the red for holding
water and grain. the black for cook
ing utensils. The deep rich glaze of
the black and the soft earthiness of
the red accord well with the brown
house porch where so much of the
! work of life is done and where on
bright days the few humble plants
are brought out to grow in the sun.
The potter always seems to be some
thing of a philosopher; he will be
poor to the end of his days. for
though everyone needs his wares, the
extreme care with which they are
used makes them last for many years
i never have seen a shop devoted

Damask table cloths and napkins
which have become too worn for their
legitimate uses should be cut into
different sized pieces for doilies, tray
cloths, and to use around corn and
other things served in a napkin.
AS no housekeeper can have too
many or varied sizes of these table
accessories, even the worst worn
cloths can be made to yield little
longer service.
Cut some of the pieces oval, others
round, some square and still others
oblong. The finer and better pieces
may be worked with scaliop in white
mercerized cotton. This adds much
to their appearance, and is pleasant
pickup work for odd minutes.
The scallops can be drawn on with
the edge of a spool, the size varied by
the size of spool selected. For the
quite small doilies to be used under
finger bowls or on biscuit plates. the
scallop should be drawn with the edge
of hundred spool of cotton and the
inner line should be kept rather shall
low Tray cloths may have longer
scallop or they can be worked with a
grouped scallop composed of three
small ones.
This Is such quick work that il well
repays the trouble. The ever-diminish-
ing supply of such things, which every
housekeeper must contend with. can
be overcome by small expense and
little work.
The more worn pieces should be
hemmed either by hand or machine.
While they should not be used on the
table, even for ordinary occasions,
they will be found most convenient
for wrapping up different articles of
food, or. if large enough, can serve as
bureau covers in the nursery, or can
be used as congresses in cases OF i'll
ness.
