An Editor Goes to Church.

A central Kansas editor says
"We attended church some time
ago and listened to very good
sermon, as sermons go. We en-.
joyed the singing, and stood up
with the brethren and sisters
while they sang the good old hymn
"Shall We Know Each Other
There?" While the hymn was
being sung we glanced around
about us and counted about a
dozen members of the congrega-
tion of the church who do not
speak to each other when they
meet on the street or elsewhere.
The thought occurred to us why
should they know each other
there when they seemingly don't
know each other here?"

Lace and Net Dresses.

While the more elaborate costumes
of real lace and handmade nets are
outside the field of the little gown, and
beyond the reach CT any but the most
generously supplied pocketbook, there
are great opportunities to obtain
pretty, modish, and lasting frocks in
the ready-made robes that are shown
at very moderate prices. These are
easily put together by any one at all
skilled in the art of dressmaking, and
individual touches can be added to
their ready-made garnitures which will
differentiate them from other bought
pattern dresses and bring them into
the class of elegance that is forbidden
to the moderately endowed. Spangled
robes are still modish, but they must
have patterns picked out in braids or
quilted ribbon braidings, insets of lace,
or medallions of plated muslin to
make them different from the COM

The old excuse for obtaining leave

FOR HOLDING HAT
SIMPLE CONTINUANCE THAT IS
OF VALUE
May Be Said to Fill Long-FeIt
Want in the Preservation of
Delicate and Costly
Millinery.

Where to keep her hats so that they
are protected from dust and light,
which may fade delicate feathers and
ribbons. has been one of the problems
with which the practical woman has
long WreStled none too successfully
Hat boxes are not easily slowed away,
and then so many of them are needed
to hold single seasons set of head

apartment for these alone There are
boudoir hat cabinets and exquisite
cretonne and lace covered sets of
boxes designed especially for hats, but
these are expensive, as a rule, and
there is not always room in ones
chamber to accommodate this extra
piece of furniture.
In place of such trays and series of
prettily covered compartments hat
holders of less attractiveness but great
utility have recently been offered The
simplest ones are made of stiff wire
frames, resembling somewhat an in
verted scoop bonnet They stand
about eight inches high and thus raise
the fashionable style of hat to a
height from the closet shelf which
will prevent the disturbance of any of
the dropping trimming now in. vogue
These frames may be procured in the
shops without any decoration There
are two small rings at the top and two

MAKES GOOD CALENDAR FRAME.
Pretty Design Will Provide Amuse-
ment for SkiIIfuI Fingers

A pretty design for frame for a
calendar is shown in the accompany
ing sketch, and it can be easily made
by skillful fingers Stout cardboard, or
even thin wood, should be used for
the foundation, and this should be
slightly padded with cottonwood in
front and then covered in silk or any
pretty material we fancy. The space
for the calendar must be, of course,
previously cut out. A printed calendar,
suitable for fastening at the back of
frame of this kind, can be obtained

one desires to have them look a little
ornamental then the wires may be
wound round with narrow satin rib
bon or Powered silk. Over the top a
soft ribbon sachet may be placed to
cover the opening and give an added
support to the crown of the hat. 1t is
even possible, and very practical as
well, to cover the entire frame with
soft Powered silk shirred gracefully
over the ribs of the frame. A set of
half a dozen or eight of these frames,
all daintily covered, would make a
most acceptable gift They can be
placed on a shelf of the closet which
is deep enough to hold hats, or if the
shelf will not hold more than three or
four two shelves may be used. This
arrangement keeps ones hats in shape
and ready to don at a moments notice
If a thin curtain is hung over the front
of the shelves the possibility of dust
getting on ones hats is reduced con-
siderably.
Other hat rests are made of wood.

in diameter and heavy enough to keep
the frame firm, and then, with a
smaller circle of wood, placed hori-
zontally and at the top of a small con-
Meeting wooden brace which joins the
centers of the base and top The en-
tire rest is covered with fine cretonne
or silk. The base and top are padded
with cotton and delicately scented
Some have little Fittings and frills of
silk around the circles for the crown
of the hat to rest on.
Rests should not be very high-not
more than an inch over what the hat
actually requires to keep it raised
from the shelf, and if one has trail
ing blume then the rest for this hat
should be high enough for the plume
to be entirely clear or else give it a
place on the shelf where 1t will lie
without being interfered with by the
other hats and their trimmings.

and it Is urged that all schools proper
ly observe the day. Citizens should
also take advantage of the occasion
to plant trees, clean up their yards
and otherwise beautify their premis-
es. Teachers and children should al
so remember that this day should
not be devoted to exclusively liter
airy entertainment. Exercises of this
character are good and helpful, but
Arbor Day is also day of work. We
mean practical work. Trees, flowers
and shrubs should be planted. In
districts where water cannot be OBJ
tanned, the ground should be cleared
of brush and rubbish. Every child
can do something, and every teacher
and parent by practical example
should offer encouragement.
