OUARRELS OF CHILDREN

Children will quarrel just as surely as little birds who squabble and push each other out of their nest. And they will be making mud pies and skipping the rope while the parents are casting rapier glances at each other on ac- count of the little folks. It is natural for an old hen to ruffie her feathers and fly at anything or any one who of- fends her chick, and parents get ruff fled, too. and often make bad friends which last lifetime.
 Again teach the children to be for giving when they are in the wrong. It is not an easy thing to forgive an in- tentional wrong, yet play days are filled with little intentional hurts and neg lects for children, sweet and angelic as they can he. can be very cruel to their companions.
 Some children are never loved and make few friends. simply because they have arbitrary dispositions which are never curbed They soon become tyr annical even in their play, and are never welcome in a crowd. Meekness is not a natural virtue with most chill dren, for they have minds of their own. and the only way they know how to settle difficulties is not by reason, but hv quarreling It is the old defensive trait which comes from the remote past. and has a way of cropping out in every new generation to certain extent. The gentle home influence is what makes these children more gen. tie. more refined and more willing to forgive, and it also leads up 10 making them more favored in social circles.

POSSIBILITIES OF FILET.

Filet net, the rage of the season in Paris, is an ideal material to elaborate with intricate embroidery. The square mesh is transparent, so that it may be done from picture taken from any book or from the design shown in a newspaper. The net is pasted on the picture and the outline is made by darning around the design, using heavy needle and the new coarse wood fiber When all the outlines are in 1t is easy enough to fill it in by darning the net closely with silk floss or chenille. If the net is for a waist to be worn with a linen suit the outline is pretty done in rsoutache braid, filled iii with coarse linen thread. For a dress noth- ing could be more beautiful than a filet net embroidered in chenille dots, or if an evening dress is to be made the dots may be outlined in chenille and filed in with gold or silk thread or vice versa The band to go around the open neck and over the shoulders may be band of net about three inches wide embroidered solid in gold or silver and chenille.

PROPER BELTS.

A belt should not be too deep and tall, slender person is usually long waisted and the deep belt gives sort of grotesque length to the waist line. A small person cannot wear the deep girdle belt for the dividing line is com pletely out of harmony with the rest of the costume. About the only time a deep belt can be worn is when soft dress of chiffon is worn and the girdle belt has the appearance of being a part of the costume and no harsh out lines are shown. A one and one-half inch belt is neatest and some can wear the one-inch belt. Very large women should avoid belt entirely, when pos sible, having the waist made to come over the skirt This is only possible when one is wearing costume. If a shirt waist is worn the belt should be narrow and well drawn down in front. The large woman will find the belt pin more, to her advantage than belt buckle, for with it she can adjust the belt in the exact place where wanted. A large woman can wear the hip length coat and it Is always dressy, much more so than many of the long, CT coats. s4.a. Ns..

BROILING STEAK
To Do It Properly Is An Art.

To broil' a steak property is one of the most important undertakings in cookery. Many cooks send it to the table turned on the outside whii1 the in- terior Is raw, while others cook 1t into a dry tastelessness.
 There are several rules to be ob- served If the steak is to be a success. The fire should be clear anI free from smoke, the gridiron sh ould be scrup- ulously clean, we'll heated and greased before the meat is put oil.
 If the fire is too hot the meat will be hardened and scorched; if not hot enough the juice will escape and the steak will be ''flabby.'
 The gridiron should he held slop- run off to the back of the grate. If il drops on the coal a blaze will result which will blacken the meat and cause it to have a smoky flavor.
 If, however, by chance, blaze should happen during the time the steak is broilng the gridiron must be caught and held away from the fire until the flame is gone. A little salt thrown on the fire will prevent this
 Should the fire he too brisk raise the gridiron on two bricks, one on each side of the opening.
 Steaks should be turned often in order that they may he done in ev- ery'p part The fork used for this pur- pose should never be stuck in the lean Of the beef, as it causes the gravy tc

NEW LEATHER WORK.

An innovation in typography has just been introduced which adds much to the beauty of the work. Suede or leather is burnt and cut into designs and colored satin or tapestry is fas- tened to the back This gives bright CT look to the whole work and relieves the solid-leather effect.
 A beautiful soft cushion is made in brown suede, burnt in some flower de- sign. A large diamond is cut from the center of the leather and mull-col- ored tapestry is fastened to the back, so that the colors are set in the dark leather like jewel.
 \ This idea is carried out in leather boxes and pictures frames, in these bright-green and red satin being used. The result of the combination is rarely beautiful and it at once overcomes the oft-expressed objection to decorated leather, Tt is too dark and plain"

HOUSEHOLD LINEN.

In the matter of using linen for sheets and pillow cases each housewife must be an authority unto herself. In the summer linen is undeniably cool and refreshing, but there is a chill about it in the winter that renders it most objectionable to the majority of folk. Invalids and little children. ac- cording to the latest medical dictums, should not use linen, in that it absorbs too readily the moisture and heat of the body, rendering it too devitalizing for the extremely delicate. Linen pil- low slips, simply made and marked. however. are used for the babies pil- lows, to be slipped under the head in crib or carriage. The latest fancy for fastening these, is with ribbons run through embroidered eyelets in the ends, and tied in bows to diagonal cor ncrs

EASY WAYS TO CLEAN.

Burlaped or papered walls may he brushed with new broom covered with hood of cheesecloth, which must be removed and shaken when dusty. Bread crumbs and pencil eraser will remove many ugly marks from wall paper. Magnesia often re- moves grease marks. A weak solution of borax and water will remove the greasy black stains that mar delicate wood or paints. Use kerosene in the water when wipihg vanished wood work. No difference how good furni- ture polish you use, always rub off every particles of grease with dry cloths, or it will accumulate dust and the dust is more difficult to remove than the grease.

WHEN SHOES ARE DAMP.

It is almost impossible in winter to keep shoes from getting wet This means ruination to tho leather unless care is taken to preserve it. Do not at- tempt to dry the shoes near the fire or to put them in the oven. Instead wipe off the mud with a damp cloth, rub in vaseline or lard and stand the shoes in cool place for several days It will be found that much of the nat ural oil has been restored.
 If you have shoe trees, put the shoes on them before applying the grease. If not stuffing them with bran will helr to absorb the dampness.

In laying on the pattern the per forations indicating the lengthwise thread of the goods must be laid ex- actly parallel with the thread, while the pieces to be cut with designated edge on a lengthwise fold of the ma terial should be placed accordingly,
 On double width material the fold ed crease would be the correct place, but single width material must be folded with its selyage even for the purpose.
 The pattern pieces should be dispos- ed of to best advantage, placing the largest parts first and always laying on all the skirt pieces before the waist or coat parts are considered.

 Single-width material not having any figure, stripe or nap may be fold ed with the two cut ends together.
