AN EASILY MADE BABY BLANKET

A baby blanket that is so good look
ing that every young mother would
welcome and is so quickly and easily
made as to be possible to any woman
who can do plain knitting.
1t is Of pink and white zephyr done
in garter stitch and bound in satin rib
bon the shade of the colored zephyr.
The materials used are a pound OF
eight-fold white zephyr, four hanks of
split zephyr, or SaXony and ribbon, ac-
cording to the size of finished blanket.
Knit on heavy wooden needles.
Wrap off both zephyrs into separate
balls, then tie the ends together and
wind the colored and white together
into one ball.
Put eighty stitches on the needle
and knit it in plain knitting, or garter
as it is called, to any desired length.
About a yard long makes good pro-
portion.
The edge of the blanket is bound
with three-inch satin ribbon with
large bow in one corner, or it can be
finished in a crocheted shell the color of
the split zephyr.

ATOW that real hot weathers here,
what's the common rule people
~ have in Providence to keep them
fresh and cool? Theories by dozens
are picked up here and there-what to
should wear.
''Diet Is the thing" said one, "to
keep a man in trim and comfort
through the dog days is well assured
to him. Cut out eating meat" said he,
"it's heating to the blood vegetables
and juicy fruit are good hot weather
food. As for drinks, as cold as ice
soda, wine or beer, or even tea and
coffee will cost his tummy dear.
1.-THE doctor says in Winter-and says
il with a froWn. Don't try to keep
your spirits up by pouring spirits
down. and when it comes to summer
he hands out this advice: Don't queer
your inside workings by freezing them
with ice. The thing you really ought
to drink is something that is hot; it
brings the perspiration and that cools
you off a lot Of course, some people
stuff themselves the whole four sea-
sons through and never feel the worse
for it. no matter what they do"
That's one mans plan for keeping
cool as far as diet goes, and then he
has a word to say about the proper
clothes.
Your summer wear should be-" he
says, "the thinnest you can get, the
undershirts and underdrawers of linen
mesh or net. Tan shoes and socks, low
shoes, | mean, in summer are the rule
I think a man who wears them high is
nothing but a fool-soft shirt, light coat
and trousers-all waistcoats 1 should
bar-and last of all a hat of felt or
straw, and there you are!"
All this advice is given free and pos
sibly it's right, but here's another the
ory which shows a different light.
"Diet?" said he, "why certainly, but
lust take my advice; get everything
you eat or drink right off a chunk of
ice. 1t keeps you cool all summer long,
no matter what the heat. L say again,
ice everything-my system can't be
beat.
"As for the clothes, the doctors plan
| find to be first rate: Wear UNDER
clothes the year around of one espe-
cial weight. For coats and trousers
any fool will know enough to buy a
suit that's light and summery and lay
in a supply of white or colored negli-
gees, low shoes of black or tan-in
short, Just use the common sense of
any normal man."
So nav your money, take your choice
of either one Of these sure recipes for
keeping cool as one is sure to please.
These recipes are mems, Of course, for
what mere man would dare to give ad-
vice on summer things that lovely
women wear? To benedicts these mys-
teries may be an open book; to bachel-

from basket a folded slip of paper,
on which is written some event of his
tory, as 1.-The Discovery of the Pacific

and cards are distributed 0he pencils
should have rubber tips) and each IS
asked to draw a picture of the event
which fell to his lot. Ten minutes is
allowed for the drawing, after which
the pictures are passed around and
each guesses what events are meant.
Needless to say the guesses will fly
wide of the wark as a usual thing.
The old maid party:
Decorate the cards or correspondence
paper on which you write your invita-
tions with sketches of spinsters wear
ing frilled caps and enjoying cups of
tea. Trim the rooms with parrots and
cats cut from colored cardboard. Pre-
pare a question game about the ceie-
brated maidens of history, as:
Who is the most celebrated spinster
of French history?
Jeanne dare.
Who was the most eseorated spinster
of English history?
Queen Elizabeth.
What favorite writer of girls stories
never married?
Louisa NJ. Alcott.
What beautiful and romantic girl in
Tennyson's poem died for love of a
gallant knight?
Elaine. the lily maid of Astolat
A contest in which each girl writes
a model love letter as she thinks 1t
should be, will bring out some divert
ing specimens. Award prize for the
cleVerest.
Then have a cat without a tail, as IN
the famous donkey party. The fun lies
in seeing who can furnish him with
caudal appendage. This has to be done
with the eyes blindfolded at time.
If the program is still not quite COM
pleted arrange several tables at which
old maid is played progressively with
two old maid cards in each pack.

THEIR BOARDING HOUSE

1t faces on downtown street
Where brownstone fronts abound,
And Doctors signs are prevalent,
And "Rooms for Rent" are found.
And, like its neighbors on the block,
That thrive in devious ways,
It reeks of former affluence
In past and better days.
You wander up the brownstone "stoop,
And note signs of decay,
The handral still remains--in part,
The stones are Clipped away
The entrance hall is grand and high,
The stairs are long and steep,
And lead to sundry realms above
Where sundry 'roomers' sleep.
The "parlor" opens ON the right,
Immersed in deepest gloom,
And in the basement underneath
A eheerless dining room.
And here are served the so-called
meals"
A parody on living,
Each wretched dish partaken OF
In silence and misgiving.
And this is home. for these poor souls
Who board and room must seek,
And somehow live, endure, exist
At so much per, per week.

nHE following first aids" for a dis
tressed hostess are recommended
n if they have not been tried be-
fore:
one or two of the picture puzzles
which are sold everywhere this year
would furnish pleasant entertainment
for a social hour. Or you could get up
a set of puzzle boxes, each one contain
ing a different object; as a ball, clothes
pin, penny, nail, and let the players
guess from the rafting sound when the
boxes are shaken what each contains.
The boxes should be tied securely and
numbered.
Something not new but always anus
ing is mock art exhibit. Here players
are furnished with catalogues and
are ushered into an ante room, osten-
sibly to see an exhibition of paintings
of which the little penny blank books
furnish the titles The exhibits which
are numbered for identification are all
purest nonsense, but make for laugh
ter. Here are suggestions:

5-A pad of paper Nothing but
leaves

There is fun in an embroidery contest.
Partners are chosen here, and each PAIR

DO WE GET HALF?

AT last it has sunk in on the almost
imperyious understanding OF the Eas-
terner that the Pacific coast is actual

we are in the open, improperly and

CEMENT.

That was good news that told OF
the intention of Messrs: Foard and
Stokes to launch a fine business
structure in this city upon purely ee-
ment lines OF construction, II is to
be departure for which the city
has waited wonderingly and patient
ly for years; for, while the Fisher and
other warehouses are excellent types
of cement work, in their way, their
uses are restricted and not nearly so
generous and general as would fall
to a store and Office building on the
most active thoroughfare Of the city.
as will be the case with the contem
plated building.
Cement is the best and last resort
in structural work, and is literally
sweeping the East and Middle West
as factor; cheap, easily worked, en-
during, safe from food and FIRE an@
decay, and profitable in dozen ways
especially in the matter OF insurance,
than which, nothing should appeal so
powerfully to the people Of this city
AT all events we, with many an,
other in this "man's town" will be
glad to witness the successful
achievement of this enterprise, and
of that of the men who intend to
open up the cement factory in this
place: 1t will mean a revolution of
almost limitiess value to the whole
section. Nor do we believe it will ma
terially invade the lumber field. and
if it does we can get more for our
lumber on export than we can on
the home market; but it is not likely
to figure in this relation for many
year TO come, with any telling effect.
