IA ATURALLY every girl would like
in to possess a handsome desk set il
+ silver, bronze or costly glass work
but unfortunately this is not within the
range of possibility for every one. 1t is
possible, however, to make extremely
pretty desk articles of chintz or denim
that correspond with the furnishings in
the room, and then if every appointment
of the desk is quite perfect and always
| in spick and span order, the effect will be
just as good as though each pad or calen-
dar was in itself an object of considerable
value.
From scraps of chintz left over from
the window curtains or cushion covers
can be made covers for the engagement
pad, calendar, note book and check book.
Corners for blotting pad can also be
concocted from stray bits of material by
covering four tin or cardboard corners
that can be bought anywhere and these
slipped on three or four thickl&sses or
plotting paper cut just the correct SIZE OF

Z PRACTICAL TALKS BY THE
APRIL GRANDMOTHER

and is especially commended to the stout
girl, as it will certainly make her supple
and will probably lengthen her waist line.
That plump little girl ON the back
row." continued the April Grandmother,
waving her fan in the direction of grad
uate who appeared to be about four feet
square, lis taking one of the best means
for improving her standing position, as in
here efforts to see over the heads of those
in front of her she has raised herself
upon her toes and is stretching her neck
upward.
THE most common fault to which
school girls are prone is that of placing
more weight on one foot than ON the other
while standing. This attitude not only
makes the hips look uneven but it Is in-
furious to the feet, The best method Of
overcoming it is to make daily practice
Of walking about with a dish of water
balanced upon the head. | do not pretend
that this is an easy thing to do, but
certain it is that the girl who acquires
this gymnastic accomplishment cannot
fail to stand erectly, and if she continues
its practice she will retain n graceful
bearing years after she has forgotten the
principal events of her graduation day."

eyes and is clever with tracing paper. As
a matter of fact. it does not require talent
or genius, simply a little dexterity in
manual movements and the stick-tO-it-
iyeness to persevcre to the end.
Bed curtains, bed spreads, cushion COW
ers and diyan covers. kimonos, the scarf
shawls so popular Of late and a thousand
and one dainty things for household and
personal wear can be decorated in block
printing. And if a girl is possessed of
really artistic taste, she can go further
and copy a scene, a landscape on to a
block. touch it up with the proper coloring
and make the impression on rice paper
and she will have a most charming Jap
anese print, broad and impressionistic in
scheme perhaps, but a truly effective thing
that she will not hesitate to hang on the
wall or frame it in passepartout fashion
for friend. 1t Is the coming craft and
another year will see the number of work.

a pity that those girls stand
w so awkwardlyw sighed the April

w so aWkWardly' sighed the Aprll
Grandmother, as through her
lorgnette she surveyed several rows of
white CARRIED graduates who were about
to receive their sheepskins. Every one
of them might have been made erect
and graceful had small portion OF the
time that they have been daily deyoting
to logic or psychology been used to train
them how to stand close to a wall in such
Il way that the back, head and feet would
form straight line against it-a method
which tends to straighten the shoulders,
force forward the chest and upraise the
chin. Then by resting the weight OF the
body on the balls of the feet, keeping
the knees straight and the abdomen fiat,
the posture cannot fail to be graceful.
"Some girls appear to stand awkward!y
because they have round shoulders" eN-
planned the April Grandmother. That
misfortune may be overcome by persever-
ing in the practice of touching the elbows
behind the back. OF course, this exercise
is not easy just at first. but it is the best
possible for Strengthening the shoulders

Golorar4S and
Tlac111S Blocks
for PRINTING =

Select a pretty design, not too large, and
trace 1t on japanese rice or any firm paper
with IL semi-transparent surface and paste
it to the block Have the lines we'll mixed,
so that when it comes to cutting there will
be no confusion. One of the delightful
things about this craft is that it is posi-
BILE with very little equipment to get re-
suits. For example, very simple patterns
cut simply with a penknifo are as effec-
tive as though regular wood caryers tools
were used.
If girl wishes to go to the expense, or
il she has already done a bit of wood
carving and so has the outfit, more elab-
crate results can be obtained. The tools
she would need would cost in the neigh
bOrhOOd of 81 and the set consists of three
chisels with straight, curved and slanting
edges and three gauges, one with a
straight and two with curved edges
Paste the design which has been previ-
ousy traced on the block of pear wood
then all is in readiness to begin operations
FOR vertical lines use the straight chisel
IN outlining the design and the other tools
VIII Indicate their Uses as the work pro-
crosses. Outline the pattern TO every last
detall. After that the paper pattern may
be molstened with water and removed.
VI course the idea is to gouge or chip
away the background leaving the design
either in high or low relief. according toI
the taste of the craft worker. As a rule
the block in which the design is in marked
relief gives the best results. However,
this is mere matter of taste and can be
cut in either fashion.
III Is the aim, of course, in block print
ing to press the block on a pad of color
ana then upon the material, thus getting
the precise impression of the design. 1t
Is applied at regular intervals over the
surface OF the textile, and, as may be
imagined, the effect is not only highly
original but Invariably extremely artistic
as well.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-12

VEN very simple block used with
ordinary printing ink will produce the
most artistic results, and a set of bed
hangings of unbeached muslin done for
an old sfashioned four poster, recently
seen, were simply stunning. And the
common red ink of commerce if applied
to the same material is capable of won
derfully effective results. Formerly bed
spreads and bed hangings We're printed
in this fashion, and it is not at all un-
common sight to see a square of such
spread framed and hung up in a home
where old fashioned things are loved for
their artistic as well as practical value.
Naturally the utilization of colors adds
tremendously and is productive of much
more artistic results.
As soon as the block is ready then
comes the consideration of the color
pad. Here there is still another chance
of selection. Cheese cloth in many layers
is sometimes used as a foundation for the
pad, but, generally speaking, several lay
ers of felt are preferred. Best of all Isl
to select square of wood quite a bit
larger than the block and cover with sew
eral thicknesses of felt This should be
tackled in place otherwise it will slide
and become annoying. A piece of glass is
sometimes used, or even n plate. but
neither is so well liked as the wood for
the foundation.
Over the pad the color is spread. The
wood block is pressed into the color and
