The doorbell broke the other day,
Pop couldn't make it ring.
Said he: I'll have to get a man
To fix the blamed old thing
Ny mother said: "Oh. don't do that
Think what you'd have TO pay
And then she took a hairpin out
And fixed II right away.
We lost the back door key last week.
Twas when the door was locked.
Pop fumed around and said things, till
The neighbors were all shocked;
Then Nom she got a hairpin out
An poked an pretty quick
She had the bolt turned in the lock,
The hairpin did the trick
There's nothing much that Nom can't dc
With hairpins, seems as like.
One day she'll fix Pops busted watch,
An next twill be my bike;
II we wus poor I'll bet that she
Could make hard luck take wings
BY goin' round the city with
A hairpin hxin' things.

FRINGE USED
ON HOUSE GOWNS

There is a wide return to the use Of
fringe Of all widths on indoor gowns
In other days it was used on street
frocks. but It is to be hoped. for the
sake OF convenience and comfort. that this
fashion will never return.
It is a pretty one, however for dress
costumes.
The trouble about making use Of it is
that the fringe is not easy TO find.
Shops do not OFFER large quantities Of II
and the range OF colors found is not wide.
White fringe is to he found and is easily
dyed to match the cloth OF the frock.
II is used as an edge TO bodice dra-
perry, to tunic. 10 sleeves and as a finish
TO ornaments that are put well above the
waist line on princess gowns.
