pUSTIc vERANDA BOXES THAT THE AlfkTEUR eAN BUILD

NNE of the most interesting features
" OF the country home is the .veran-
da, and no place is more capable
of artistic treatment with climbing
vines, rustic boxes and hanging bas-
kets than this delightful retreat. 1T is
by these adornments that the transit
tion from house to garden is made
complete, and no other object lends it
self more gracefully and harmoniously
to the rural beauty of nature itself
than the old fashioned rustic recepta-
cles for plants and vines.
These boxes and baskets are simply
combinations of material at hand in
any country place. and SO varied are
the possibilities that no two need be
even similar in design. Vines and
dainty plants never look so pictu-
rescue as when they are contrasted
with the rough bark of an old tree by
the roadside and clambering over the
moss covered banks of some woodland
dell; therefore, when at your very
doorstep a thousand ideas greet you
and material such as only needs to be
assembled by skillful hands awaits your
command, why should the home be
cherries or why seek some unconven-
donal recptac,s or perhaps a plain un-

difficulty with many vases sold at
the store is the limited space allow
anee for earth, and naturally they are
difficult to keep sufficiently moist One
of the most satisfactory and inexpen-
sive home made hanging baskets rep
resents a section of a limb two feet
long and one foot in diameter. If one
were to attempt to hollow out of q
solid log similar object it would be
found difficult undertaking, and when
compared with the arrangement here
described would be but waste of
time An ordinary light packing box
will furnish all the necessary material
for the hull like foundation. First,
two round sections of board are sawed
out the same diameter as the log is
to be, which form its ends. Around
these two end pieces narrow strips are
nailed. slightly separated to insure per-
feet drainage, and the hull is finished
All 1t needs now is a covering of bark,
preferably rough. which is quickly
made secure by the use of small wire
nails To give it still more effective
appearance various forms of fungi and
lichens, found generally on old dead
stumps, may be fastened on in the
same manner. and the more careless
in appearance the more natural and
effective. With the aid of little paint
on the ends to give it the effect of a
freshly sawed limb a remarkably strik-
ing imitation of a followed out log is
revealed. Four screw eyes will answer
to secure the wires that support it as it
gracefully swings from its fastenings.
Another pleasing object is a window
box constructed in the same manner.
and regardless of the character of
architecture that may exist this artistic
harmony of nature will at once blend
itself to the conditions. Perhaps lit
tie more difficult is the production of
q rustic jardiniere. Such a receptacle
is both useful within doors during win
ter and suitable for the veranda. A
small keg used for white lead or oil
is best adapted, being a convenient size
and durable. After it has been sawed
in two, each half making a jardiniere,
short sections of limbs about one inch
and a half in diameter are pointed at
one end and split into two sections and
nailed on evenly around the keg. Four
sections are allowed to extend down
far enough below the rest to form
legs while two of these are still longer
reaching far enough above the rest to
form the sides of a handle. Another
section connecting these forms the han
die and completes a unique and most
attractive flower receptacle.
An ornament of this sort will be
found useful for either potted plants
or for planting into where the plants
may remain permanently. If the lat
ter use be made of It two or three
small holes must be bored in the bot
tom for drainage.

A Practical Hint for the Care of
Cooking Utensils

Mrs. }. w. Christie, 1857 Eighteenth
street, san francisco
In cooking certain articles of food it
is almost impossible to prevent some
of the food from adhering to the yes
sci. An excellent way to clean the
bottom of the vessel is to have handy a
piece of bath brick. Cut about a third
of bath brick by taking Il common
table knife and making a groove all
around the quantity to be cut off; then
pound lightly on the knife placed in the
groove, when the piece will readily sep
arate. Rub over the part of the uten-
sill to be cleaned and the brick will be-
come very smooth and the cleaning
will be done in very satisfactory way
and with great saving to the hands
and dish cloths, and also Of time A
piece OF brick like this will cost 5
cents and will last long time. being
much more economical than sand soap,

lives these young people are peculiarly
sensitive to criticism. especially criti-
cism that is tainted with ridicule. Now
l believe--and 1 shall always teach
that there is but one law of courtesy
that can be applied to social life and
be called true courtesy. II is that
which makes no distinction between
individuals in politeness and has for
all a manner of treatment that may
be called good breeding.
If your young son or daughter were
to speak of your friends as / have
heard a great many mothers speak OF
the friends of their young people to
these young people themselves I think
that could prophesy a speedy ex
termination of the offenders. But why
should you resent it? Haven't you
treated them in a similar manner?
Just pause a moment and put your

selection of friends made by our young
people is often very questionable
one but I doubt if many boys or girls
who were taken quietly aside and had
the matter laid out before them as

not respond in a very great degree to
this quiet and just treatment Of the

Part of the design was worked In the
ordinary outline stitch in one shade of
blue and the center filed in occasion

stitch or fancy ones can be used for this
filing. The one section Of the design
forming a square with the figure of the
lion was used for a cushion top. and for
the border on the linen door and win

in a trifie narrower width across the
