A FALSE ECONOMY.

There can be no question that the
effort to economize is i'm every way
commendable and. dear knows. rare
enough in these days Of prodigality
but there is limit past which econ

There are women with whom econ

else she wouldn't be boiling up her old
shades to make busters when she

But this is only one example of the
false economy that saves and makes

MUSIC SCRAP BOOKS.
A New Venture For the Feminine
Collectors Talent.

Collectors Talent.
The scrap book-that heterogeneous
collection Of fugitive verse, anecdote.
humor or general information in which
for some reason we are interested-is
always satisfactory in the making and,
If at all intelligently put together
bound to be of value later on. Let
any one who doubts starts scrap book
instantly and find out the truth.
But Of all scrap books the one likely
to prove most profitable for the young
girl. particularly one who sings and
plays, is the music scrap book, in which
are treasured the vocal and instru-
mental waits that constantly appear in
magazines and journals.
These fugitive productions which in
terest the young girl include the ballad
which just suits her young, fresh
voice, the simple nocturnes or the
fetching twostep which even her not
overlimber fingers can render effec-
lively.
The main ifficulty-procuring a
proper sized and shaped book-is OBJ
Waited by cutting heavy packing paper
into the right dimensions and lacking
firmly together in the back. Two or
even three such volumes are better
than one very thick one for convenient
handling on the piano rack. A SIM
pie decoration on the outer leaf or
still better, decorated pasteboard
cover gives the desired artistic touch

year-old lassie-merits description. 1t

cipient and the date beautifully let

was quite blank but for the first pages,
upon which were neatly pasted two
charming child songs, by Michael
kergise. which appeared in a series
Of twenty or more in the magazine
section Of New York paper some five
or six years ago. Since then the book
has been gradually filled by clippings
from we'll known papers. an Ameri-
can magazine and two celebrated Ger
man house magazines. The series Of
kergise songs before mentioned is
plentifully represented. Opening the
book haphazard one finds the largo
from Dvorak's New World Sympho-
n.y." Fanfare Militaire." by Code:
an "Air de Ballet" by De Koven: Ru-
binstein's "Du Bist VIE Fine Blume"
and Kergise's Congo Bongo" and

are the best of their kind. many of

ened, to dislodge 1t with the help of a
blunt penknife and to fix it in posi-
ton with cement and color 1t.
If there is no duplicate from which
to make the plaster cast the repairer
must rely upon her own inventive
genius to construct little model in
the potter's clay. and except where it
is a conventional design that is to be
reproduced. which must be drawn or
traced from similar bit Of decora-
ton and copied exactly-and this is
usually the case when it is piece Of
the rim Of plate or the lip of a jug
that has been replaced-the choice Of
suitable coloring is also test Of her
taste entirely, for the color Of other
similar parts may be helpful guide.
Ordinary water color paints are quite
satisfactory substitutes for the pig
ments that are used by professional
china painters If the piece that is to
be painted is prepared beforehand
with layer of gelatin and covered

nese white as a foundation for the col
Ors, and when these have been applied
the glazed effect of china is produced
by varnish of gum arabic and water.
The question of cement can he solved
by the purchase of one Of the excellent
mixtures that are concocted by the
trade" If the repairer does not feel
disposed to follow the very simple and
old fashioned recipe of sleeping and
stirring an ounce of white isinglass
and three-quarters of an ounce of
transparent gelatin in basin con-
tanning about six ounces of water and
adding rather less than an ounce of
acetic acid while holding the basin
over boiling water until the mixture
warns. This makes clear cement
which can be used for glass as well as
china, and 1t keeps almost indefinitely
If it is bottled and corked securely
Before using it it is advisable to warm
the bottle in hot water to reduce its
contents to a liquid, and the china to
which it is to be applied should be
warmed to a corresponding tempera-
ture.
1t saves endless trouble and prevents
the very possible disappointment of
seeing the piece that has been cement
ed loosen and drop before the cement
has dried if it is given the temporary
support of n smear of sealing wax to
hold it in position until it has firmly
fixed. This support is almost indis-
pensable when there are several frag
ments to be fitted and joined together
before the broken piece can be reunited

A Hat Trimming Contest.
My Dear Elsa - When l returned
from Atlantic City found your very
jolly letter awaiting me. No, l have
never been as enthusiastic as you are
over the attractions of the Jersey city
by the sea. The board walk is just
bit Of Broadway with an ocean expo
sure, sans policemen-that is. visible
Ones-and wheeled chairs to run one
down instead Of Gotham automobiles.
But do enjoy stopping at the Duff
Gordon, even If 1t is the most hideous
piece Of architecture of it's kind. And
! really don't see why an American
hotel Is called upon outwardly to re-
semble an overgrown eastern mosque
trimmed up with bOnbon effects in
pistachio green, do you? Inside the
hotel Is really charming. The dining
room and ballroom are magnificent.
and the shops in the arcade under the
building are fascinating with their va.
ried assortment Of wares. They remind
one pleasantly Of shopping excursions
In similar inclosed places on the CONT
nent. l wouldn't have Dick know 1t
for anything, but the first night we
spent at the hotel lost my way in the
corridor, and 1t was only luck that got
me back to the elevator and the escort
of the very polite manipulation of the
lift that enabled me finally to reach
my room. Talk about cats in strange
garrets! Why, l felt like mouse in
q maze.
The horse show was on during our
stay, and the place was packed with
smart visitors. And the gowns worn
by the women! Well, I'll tell you
about them later. The show this year
was held inside the $1.OOO,OOO pier
built, believe, by a Philadelphia man
of the name of Young. who seems to
have fad for putting up structures
running halfway out into the Atlantic.
And on this one he has had built at
the extreme end house. in which he
and his family are going to live the
year round. It's rather large cream
colored stone affair. whose facade bris-
ties with the statues Of "ten thousand
saints" doing penance. some one said.
for the sinners who walk the board
walk. But the boxes Of petunias and
old fashioned flowers that smile at one
from the window lodges are charming.
At the big Saturday night Duff-Gordon

the whole affair to looker-on took on
the character of costume dance SO

be boredom personified, and the seal
ing wax is a harmless time saver, for
it chips Off readily and leaves no mark
at all.
Small cracks and chips which are
not sufficiently destructive to break
through the china can be filed in with
tiny quantity of the mixture of
plaster Of paris and gum arabic that
has been mentioned before. Not only
does the filling prevent real break
