Enameled holders are attractive and
they can be had in colors to match the

ed into compartments formed by small
ridges, so that black and white pins

TO be at the mercy OF a jumbled UP pin
tray when she is dressing in a hurry.
Glass and silver combine to make

The pin trays and small boxes made of
thick beveled crystal set in cutout
silver stands are most attractive. They
are daintier in somc ways than the all
silver trays and have the advantage of
not showing scratches. If the crystal
part breaks another one can be fitted
in. In all else but the shape these pin
trays resemble those dainty little
dishes designed to hold slices Of lemon

are round or oval and have very slant

HE illustration for this week is in
teresting in that it gives to us a
number of the models of the Christ
child seen, with the various madonnas
painted by Raphael Most conspicuous
ly placed among them is the child of
the Sistine madonna, quite naturally
leading all the others by the superior
ity OF the original work itself 1t is
cleverly arranged group, for each child
has maintained the position he occu-
pied in the painting in which he fig
ures, yet each is free from awkward
ness. The child of the Madonna Della
Sedia reclines with his little cheek
pressed against that of the Sistine
child in the most natural manner pos
sibIe. while his brother looks up with
the same sweet sympathy and affection
he had bestowed upon his lovely
mother.
1t is striking and interesting group
for study and reflection and somehow
leads our thoughts toward boys in gem
eral, and it is. consequently. to this
subject that I want to direct your at
tention today. In the days Of their
young immaturity the girl is in way
a negative quality in the minds of the
parents. while the boy is very much the
reverse. His strong investigative ten
deneies-relic of the hunting instincts
of primitive man-his tremendous vital
ity, natures lavish provision against
expenditure of force and the unfolded
possibilities latent within which are to
sweep him on toward good or evil COM
bine to make him object for serious,
often grave, apprehension on the part
of his parents.
1t is not until the girl attains to her
cylinder, into which is fitted cylin-
drical basket or tray for the dishes.
The cylinder is half filed with water,
to which a good soap compound has
been added. This is brought to the
