WHAT THE LIBRARY NEEDS.
The library needs more whole.
hearted public support. That means
money, for one thing. With more
money room could be rented near
the center Of town, more directly un.
der the public eye; better salary
could be paid the Librarian which
would justify the opening Of the IL

could be purchased The library il

the community but Its usefulness
might be greatly increased with in
creased resources. All good citizens
must recognize these facts. Let that
recognition take practical form in
helping on this means of raising
money for this cause and when the
Rirmess is over don't think your duty
done. Become regular contributor
to the support of the library. either

HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES.
Short Curtains.

There is a fashion In decoration
that should be helpful to the woman
who must fit short curtains to new
windows. This Is the idea Of having
deep decorative borders on fabrics of
solid coolr. Separate borders can be
bought at the large shops with sur
prisiDg ease by the woman who knows
how to root out the artistic thing.
They do not come for curtains as
rule. but they serve admirably.
The foundation color Is usually deep
tinted, although some good patterns
can be gotten with the foundation in
natural crash tones. These are usual
ly developed In any natural material
that suits the wearer's fancy. The
pattern is In five sizes--8 to 16 years.
For a boy OF 10 years the navy coat
requires 3-8 yards OF material "a
inches wide; the navy REFER needs
4 Ia yards 81 inches wide, or two
yards inches wide.
Childish Puzzles.
II q person has jig.saw or can
borrow one, many amusing toys can
be made. Take thin board that
comes between rolls Of cloth paste
bright picture on tho board and
then cut tho board into many little
pieces. 1t takes fine saw to cut
the board. Something funny for the

the running to the stretch. The time
also was remarkably fast, 1853 3-5, for
