Mrs. Eastwood editor of the
WatertoWn Herald has raised an
interesting question in taxation.
The Herald has a linotype machine
in its office. The assessor supposed
it belonged to the office and as
sessed accordingly, but Mrs. East
wood wishes to discount the as
sessment on the ground that the
typesetting machine really belongs
to the Merganthaler CO. 1t would
seem that for advertising and bus
mess purposes the machine belongs
to the Herald, but for assessment
purposes it belongs to the big cor
poration which is much better able
to stand the tax. There are many
other newspaper offices that are
in the same fix. If the tax were
based on the equity actually in
surlng to the publisher good
many Of the newspapers would
have a rebate coming from some
where instead Of being obliged to
pay a tax. The editor Of this pa
per could almost live off the in
terest Of what he owes and if the
Herald can make its claim stick
we are going after some Of the
back pay that is coming to us.

TT Il summer resorts where there is
~ water one of the most popular meet
ing places of the young people is the
yacht club, which is a centre of fun and
activity for old and young, many elders
being keen over yachting, while others
enjoy the mere sitting about the club
house as participants in its sociabiity.
Though forming a large part Of the
aggregation young people are always
conspicuous in club house, and it be-
hooves them to remember that they are
in a public place where quiet manners
are more becoming than are always nee
essary in the privacy of ones own home.
Rough house and rowdyism generally
are extremely bad form at all times, but
particularly so in public places, though
there are young people so thoughtless as
to act as if club house was made for
their sole benefit and to conduct them
selves there with boisterousness which
shows no consideration for those about
them.
Girls should never go to yacht club
unchaperoned, and while there should
never forget they have chaperon, as
some of them seem to do when they
wander as far as possible from her pro-
lection If you have been invited to go
yachting, when you arrive in either a

small or large party at the club do not
90 racing off to the piazzas or the float,
but remain with the party and follow
the direction taken by the host or the
hostess and the chaperon The boat may
not be in readiness and the host may
wish the party to remain awhile about
the club, in which case he will signify
his desires to the chaperon. who in turn
passes them on to you. On the other
hand the boat may be ready and it VIII
annoy the host exceedingly If you loiter
about the club when he wishes to get you
speedily aboard. while it always dis
pleases the chaperon when her young
charges exhibit a propensity to scatter.
Remember that on general principles
when you are guest it is always tactful
TO follow the leader, who naturally is the
host or the hostess of the occasion. and
that it really is most thoughtless ana
selfish when you do otherwise. If you
have come to the club, to go yachting
and have a few moments to wait don't
suggest things to do inN the interim, and
above all do not play the piano or start
an impromptu dance. This is noisy
performance not agreeable to those sit
ting about the verandas, AMI as dancing
is not the purpose for which you have
come il is well to eliminate it,
OF course when you come TO the club
to dances, that is quite another matter

FURNISHINGS for the Garden Studio

cloth dipped in little whiting.
Spots on vanished furniture may be
removed by rubbing them with essence
of peppermint or spirits of camphor and
then with linseed or olive oil.
The faded leather covering of a sofa
or chair may be frightened by going over
it with a soft sponge squeezed nearly dry
from hot soap suds, removing as much
moisture as is possible by rubbing it with
flannel, then polishing it briskly with
kerosene dampened piece of woollen goods
and leaving the furniture in the open air
until the odor of the oil has vanished. Any
grease spots on leather may be treated
with fullers earth, which should be
sprinkled over the place, left for a short
time and then rubbed with benzine.
Furnished brass or copper drawer
handles and desk furnishings should be
frightened with powdered bath brick or
with the inside of a lemon rubbed on
with flannel and polished with piece of
leather. After that the metal may be
lacquered and kept bright with a clean,
damp cloth.
Stale beer will remove fly specks from

are legion. 1t is, however, quite capable
.of most artistic results if treated fairly.
l. This places the design uppermost and
the stitch secondary. At no time should
one stitch for stitching's sake, the aim
being to express the idea. Look on your
work as a color scheme, a painting, and
you have no idea what a different feeling
you will have toward your work. l have
seen this exemplifed among my own
girls. Some there have been who disliked
embroidery of the old fashioned sort and
found it extremely monotonous. But the
moment they came to look on their work
from the art standpoint it changed every
thing.
Once the lesson taught in the PIN
cushion design has been absorbed, then
we may turn to the bags. Here the same
outline stitch is used, but it is lesson

sign Is outlined. not only once, but many
times. This gives the filed in quality.
1t really throws us into the long and
short stitch. The design here is treated
in mass and not in line.
THE bags vary in size. Some are
about eight inches in length by six and a
half inches in width, some longer and
others smaller. They may be cut ac-
cording to fancy. Frequently an inch
wide strip of goods is inserted between
the front and the back TO enlarge the
capacity of the bag. The strip is apt

or by fancy stitches of embroidery. silk

thread is combined with It. and in the
case of a very coarse crash crewels are
most effective.

the pattern may not be all that could lie

artistic pattern will be spoiled if inartis-
tic textile and poor colors are used.
"In cutting the bag it is best to leave
plenty of material around the design for
spacing. An added reason for this is that
the material may fray.
.EkTV FACTOR that adds more than
~ all else to the beauty of the bag
is its finish. Much of its artistic
beauty depends on the small details, fin
ishing, such as the cords and tassels OF
balls, the method of drawing the cord
through and the rows of outlining. that I'm
ish the design. One bag may have the
draw string of silk cord, another of linen
and silk twisted by hand, others white SOU
taehe braid with touch of prevailing
color run through. Occasionally the draw
string will pass through clusters Of dou-
BILE or triple bars at the top. Button
moulds are sometimes covered with linen
and then embroidered over with silk or
wholly wrapped with embroidery
stitches.
In the bag with the bird design the
textile is coarse white crash done III linen
thread. The breasts of the birds, eyes
and legs are in turquoise blue the tail
orange. A soft, natural gray outlines
the whole. Over the side strip, between
front and back, a gray and blue linen
cord is laced Here and there few
stitches OF orange are introduced, espe-
cially where the cords cross. This brings

are no ball ends, the cord being Joined
together in one piece. Where the two
ends come together it is firmly wrapped
with blue linen thread, then buttonholed
over The bars through which the string
passes are blue with touch of orange
top and bottom
Another of the bags also with a bird
design is done in crewels. Dull green's,
browns, brilliant orange and pale yellow
are used, though the brighter colors are
Jail subservient to the brown tones
COUGHING cord, which is afterward but
tonholed in brown crewel, is used for
the draw string. Perfectly round but
tons, like marbles, wholly covered with
buttonhole stitch, form the ends. An
endless variety of original combinations
may be thought out by the embroiderer
after few trials.

SOCIAL AMENITIES FOR p
THE SCHOOL GIRL E

and you dance to your hearts content,
spending the time between the numbers
on the programme out on the piazzas
sitting or promenading, but always in
proximity to your chaperon. Madame
Grundy does not countenance your stray
ing with an escort down into the grounds
or off to the float or pier, or to seques-
tered upper balconies. When you prom
enade it is not necessary to remain liter
ally in sight Of your chaperon provided
you do not leave the piazza where she is
sitting and she sees you as you pass and
repass. If you are offered refreshments
by your escort between a dance always
see that the same courtesy is extended
to your chaperon. She may decline it,
in which case it is quite proper for you
and your partner to have it without her.
When on float waiting to get off to
a yacht do not cause your chaperon
anxiety by romping around or getting up
excitement by seeing how near to the
waters edge you can come without fall
ing in. This may amuse you, but it gives
her serious concern, for she is responsible
for each one of you and consequently
breads to see you do hazardous things.
DO not play about the boats at the float
or handle any tempting looking paddles
or oars. This is meddling with the prop
erty of others and we all know that Is
not commendable thing to do.
