TO improve 1t is better than the actual

Many a Slip.

There's many a slip on the stony hillside
OF life as we up to the summit would
climb
The pathway is narrow, the pitfalls are
vide,
And we can go only one step at a time.
Then what wonder SO many have made a
misstep
And fallen. Let us pause ere their sin
we rehearse
And still the reproaches that come to the
lip.
For auGht that we know we might have
done worse.

Watch fobs are favorite presents to
men from girls who are clever at de-
signing and making hand wrought
jewelry. Fobs Of copper set with
variscite, a pretty green stone, and
mounted on tan suede Of heavy
quality are very smart. 1t Is a fash
lon, too to have belt buckles made out
of old watch cases and from old pic
ture frames, not to mention charming
girdlcs from old fashioned chased and
fretwork napkin rings. The ring Is
cut into perpendicular strips, the strips
being fastened together with silver
chains in an ornamental design. Old
coins are often Joined together for
dog collars. and quaint buttons are set
in metal bands for fillets. These are
only a few suggestions for girls who
are interested in arts and crafts work.
