the pendant beads is secured by having the thread run through smaller bead, then back through the larger bead
 The festoons should be made on a separate thread run through the beads beside the first thread, until the place for tine festoon to begin is reached then these beads are threaded on it and it is brought back to the main chain again. Regulation snap-clasps of gold plate may be purchased from the bead dealers and finish the chain at the back, the string ing threads being secured into a small ring at each end of the clasp.
 Flat Chain
 There is another kind of chain that is very much liked, and this is the flat chain that IS made with fine needle and thread and small beads. The design is usually floral, daisies and forget-me-nots being admirably suggested by the small white or blue beads. These chains en- circle the neck and may be made long enough to serve as fan chain, a small snap-hook being secured to the chain by which the fan may be attached. Daisy Chain
 The first of number of chains re- gently shown is simplicity itself, and fayorite offering of the small girl who delights to present a gift that she has made herself. The beads between the

MANNERS AND CUSTOMS
 IN TRAVELLING


short trip in a drawing-room car is not suitable for long journey in ar ordinary car, and, as I have said, any. thing that IS very conspicuous in travel ing. is not in good taste. Snowy gowns or hats are as much to be condemned as loud voices and marked gssticulations. serviceabls Materials
 Serviceable travelling dresses may be of pongee, voile, panama or mohair, the little jackets or boleros giving a becom- ing effect oyer a dainty blouse: Linen, gingham and other washable fabrics are for occasional wear in travelling. Ones attire may be very simple, yet never se- were, and 1t must be immediately neat. Shabbiness in dress is unpardonable, and the woman who thinks that "any- thing will do' for travelling is grievously mistaken. Absolute freshness is neces- sary. If one cannot afford variety of gowns, one can afford a plentiful supply of washable waists Even when travel ing rapidly and remaining but few days Ill each place, one can have onc's clothing washed promptly at a hotel laundry.
 For the evening dinner at hotel or on an ocean steamer, dress of foulard or other soft silk, high in the neck, may
 
 yoke and collar making becoming touch; or lace waist with skirt of silk or voile may be chosen. It is mis- take to think that evening dress is worn at dinner on ocean steamers
 Americans of certain type are plenti- ful in travelling, but are not to be re- garded as examples of good breeding. Costliness and elaboration in dress jewels worn while travelling, are not evidences of refinement, but the reverse Sensible women, those who know that the tendency to display is on the increase and is ruinous in it's ehects-women who are sure of themse1ves-know that culture and refinement go hand hand with simplicity in dress and demeanor The Young Girl Travelling
 In these days women travel about very independently, and they will be treated with respect always, provided they are quiet and dignihed. Young girls do not travel about alone on long journeys, nor do they stop at hotels

If one is obliged to occupy state room with another person, one is care ful to be very considerate in ones man. ners.
 When purchasing steamship tickets one may secure railway ticket for the first city to be visited.
 In England it is correct to travel III second or third-class railway carriages in preference to the more expensive hrst-class. On the continent it is neces- sary to travel either first or second-class Purchasing Tickets In Europe
 It is convenience to purchase rail way tickets at one of the agencies o1 companies, where explicit information can be had about trains, routes, etc. Nc extra charge is made. Tickets SC purchased do not identify the holder with any special party; the tickets are the same as those at railway stations.

alone, but should be accompanied by an older woman, whose presence saves them from criticism. On a journey III our own country it IS customary to carry as little as possible by hand. A small bag and an umbrella are allowable, but bundles, boxes, bas- kets or numerous packages of any sort are not correct to carry. Luggage is checked, and 1t Is a convenience to purchase ones railway ticket in advance, and, for a small fee, have ones luggage checked through from ones residence, or hotel, to destination This saves the station before starting, but if this can not be done, it is important to attend personally to checking ones luggage at the station in order to avoid mistakes Going Abroad
 For the benefit of those who intend to travel abroad, few hints are included here:
 Guide books are necessary for foreign travel.
 On a steamer one has a stateroom, where one mattresses comfortably as at home, and goes to bed. A warm wrapper may be laid on the foot of the bed or placed conveniently near, in case of necessity, and there are always little racks, or places where one can tuck away warm slippers, shoes, stockings, etc.
 It IS important to arrange with the stewardess soon after going on board about the morning bath, and unless the weather is unusually severe and stormy, one would go to the bathroom and take the regular morning bath as at home A steamer trunk is necessary for sea trip, because it slips under the berth in stateroom and is out of the way, and can be drawn out when required A large trunk would be sent down to the hold"
 These trunks are labeled "stateroor1, ]" or hold" the labels being procured from the steamship company when ob- taining tickets. A bag in which to carry variety of small articles is re- quired. A steamer rug and. warm wrap are essential. It is important to engage steamer chair from the deck steward soon after going on board, and to have 1t in an agreeable p1ace-the south side being preferable A fee is charged for the use of the chair. The chair is marked with ones name, and is thus easily distinguishable
 Fees are always given to the deck steward, table steward, stateroom stew ard and stewardess when leaving the ship.

 , rially from American customs, and 1t is advisable to carry only such luggage as may be easily placed by porters in the railway carriage. A large portmanteau, or suit case, will be convenient Por- ters are always at hand at trains to carry ones belongings from cab to train or yice veysa, and they are quick and oblig- ing, and expect only small fee
 Trunks are troublesome things for constant, use in Europe They are weighed and extra charges are made for them. Checks, such as are known in America, are not Jobtainable. although certain methods prevail of sending "reg- istered" luggage. When making trips, therefore, it is best to have ones trunks stored at one of the agencies in large cities, and to carry only such luggage as can be conveniently handled
 Fees to servants at hotels are given at the close of ones stay. These should be ample, but not excessive.

A USEFUL MORNING GOWN

A girdle lining is provided, and in this the bones should be placed, the lining serving to support the girdle and preserve the shape. To secure the best results, however, the lining should be prepared separately and attached to the girdle at the upper edge only and after the skirt and girdle are stitched. Skirt With Attached Girdle
 In preparing the skirt the side gores should be pasted together. First prepare the front gore and girdle by first basting the seams at the sides of the girdle; then turn under three-eighths of an inch at the upper edge of the girdle and along its lower edge, continuing down each side of the front breadth. For convenience in basting this turn under on the curved line at the front, haste close to the fold-edge, then clip the raw edges sufficiently deep to make them lie flat
 The turning may be more easily and

daisies may be any desired color, and the space is regulated by the number of the beads used. In the detail shown, eight green beads were threaded; then, for the daisy, eight white. Pass the needle again through the first white bead, thread on one yellow bead, pass needle through fifth white bead, draw up the little white circle with the yell low bead in the center and the daisy is complete. As the beads are quite fine. a No I2 needle will be required, threaded with fine silk thread, used double and waxed. To join another the ends close.
 4 Forget-me-not Chain
 Another represents forget-me-not chain of light blue beads, yellow bead in the center of each blossom. Two needles with double thread in each are required for this chain, the two sets of thread knotted together at the ends. Take up two blue beads, pass the other needle through them in the opposite direction The second needle is always passed through the beads in the opposite direction to the first; take up one yell low bead, pass other needle through, two blue, pass other needle through; now Wltll tilC lIOCdAC hdNS QP tWO blue and pass the same needle through the second pair of blue beads. Repeat this process for all the forget-me-nots, taking care to push the beads compactly together and holding the thread taut. zigzag Daisy Chain
 The zigzag daisy chain is green, with white daisies to make 1t, thread on two green and two white beads, pass the needle through the first white bead threaded on, turn the chain over, thread two green, needle through last white into last green, turn two green, needle into last green, turn; two green, needle into last white, turn; four white, needle through the three white beads of pre- vious row; this completes the daisy. Thread two green, needle into green, turn; two white, needle into green, turn ]; repeat from until the chain is desired length.
 A wide forget-me- chain was made of pale blue with palest green crystal beads. Begin by threading three green beads, turn. Thread one green into first green bead of first row, turn. Take one green into last bead of previous row, one green into first bead of that row, turn. A blue into green, one green into green, turn. Fifth row, one green into green, one blue into blue, turn.

 with customs, but a little shousht will prove the contray. Peo- pae who are sadly deficient in man. ners may be very exact in following what they think are customs, and those who know very little about customs may be carefully courteous in manners.
 For example, person who has good manners in travelling speaks in low tones, does not laugh loud, does not talk for the benefit of the public or men ton names, does not push forward ag- gressively; yet this person may not know, simply from lack of experience in travelling, what to do, what to wear in word, what are the customs But, at the outset, may state that a person of refined taste and good manners is absolutely sure to avoid conspicuous dress in travelling.
 An instinctive sense of the fitness of things IS always part of the possession of person of refinement, even though practically inexperienced in the ways of the world
 On the other hand, person may have practical knowledge about tickets, lug gage, customs at hotels, fees, etc, and yet may be 1oud-voiced, or assume superior airs, or monopolize more than fair share of space on a train, for in stance, by filling an adjoining seat with bag or wrap, while ignoring the fact that another person is in search of. seat This mark of rude manners is one of the most noticeable things in travelling. Dressing for Travelling
 In regard to dress for travelling, while 1t is true that lighter co1ors are worn now, and that thin materials are sensibly chosen for warm weather, it is not to be denied that perishable materials, and those that soil quickly, are not desirable for one who must practice economy Dainty dresses of pale shades, delicate a1ds expens sive wraps, are not for the Woman of moderate means, and it Wotzld be- an extrayagancey an affecta- ton, atid in bad taste to assume attire which is not in accordance with ones purse, and which is not appropriate to circun1stances.

 A green through the blue on the left of the yellow bead, one green through green, turn. Ninth row, one blue through green, one green through green, turn; this begins the forget-me-nots on the opposite of the green vine. Repeat from the fifth row.
 Various Chains
 The next chain was made of pink and white crystal beads in the following order: thread one white, two pink, two white, two pink, one white, pass needle through first of the pink beads, turn; two white, two pink, one white, pass needle through first pink bead of the previous row, turn; two white, two pink, one white, pass needle through first pink of previous row; turn and repeat until chain is desired length.
 The last chain is very simply r1ade!s Thread one red, one gold, one red, one gold, two red, one gold, one red, and pass the needle through the first gold bead, turn. Thread two red, one gold, one red, pass the needle through the. gold bead of previous row, turn; two red, one gold, 6ne red, needle through gold of previous row; turn and con- tinue in same order.

neatly done in this way than if the edges are clipped first, and there will be less danger of fraying. There is a simple plan that will obviate all danger of stretching, both on the curved line of the girdle and the front edge of the side gore to which it is to be joined. Before turning under the girdle edge,

THE CHILDREN IN susxMER

It is an important question what to 7 do with the children in the summetiio when they belong to family who are city dwellers. Children need the freeAl dom and quiet of the country all then year round. If because of business thseE city claims the bread-winner, the family
 should be located in the suburbs. Those, who are obliged to stay in the city the greater part of the year must solve the problem.
 For children of all ages be sure that the place selected has good drainage and9 good drinkingwater, and that the foodv is wholesome. I know of one mothers, who boasts of the continued health of Z her child, although she has trsveled with him widely, and ascribes it to the fact that she has never let him drink water indiscriminately, but always either had the well-known bottled waters or had the water boiled before drinking air
 Too many country places are uns7 healthy because of the impure water and the neglect of, general sanitary condi- lions. The inhabitants of such places. have become accustomed to them, but strannHrs are sepsitive to them

In sad but loving remembrance of
my dear brother, Wilson Fowler, who
departed this life December %, 1908.
In the graveyard softly sleeping
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one love so dearly,
In his lonely, silent grave.
His we'll remembered foot steps
We are listening for in vain,
And our eyes grow dim from watching
And our hearts are sad with pam.
No words will ever seem 80 sweet
As the words he used TO say,
No hour will ever be as sad
AS the hour he passed away.
He will never be forgotten,
Never shall his memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger,
Around the grave where Wilson is
laid.
BY his loving and devoted sister
Lille.

STATE ROADS.

Bids have been asked for the
building of the State Road in this
County. Now that one practical
step has been taken toward the
realization Of something that the peo-
pie Of this State have been clamorlng
after for years the time is ripe to ask
the question, what is best to be done
in the building line.
The problem of road building
means much and one that requires
thought as well as practical thorough
action. First of all there is to be
spent upon these roads thousands
upon thousands Of dollars and the
payers should get out OF 1t as
much good as possible. From what
we can learn the proposition OF the
Road Commission is to have maead-
am roads in this and other Counties
of Southern Maryland. We 10 not
coneede the premises. Ii the bid
for building macadam road in ST.
Mary's County, recently made, Is a
test, only few miles of road can be
built, which will be Of no practical
good. We want the mileage as well
as the good bed and this we can
have if common sense is observed.
We have the mat srial at hand-sand,
clay and gravel to make the very
best r0ads-macadam roads to hades
We believe that suitable roads for
all purposes of the County can be
built for at least $4,000 per mile and
that our share of the appropriation
will give us the entire mileage OF
good roads selected by the State
Road Commission in this County
The County Commissioners con
tracing to build the roads is out Of
the question, and we hope to hear nc
more of such az absurd proposition
Private enterprise should build the
roads. Let some of our people dc
the work. Surely we have men
enough among us with sufficient grit
and capacity to take hold of and
manage successfully such an under
taking, which will draw the money
to be spent to the County and have
it foated here among US, as well as
have the good roads. Let some Of
our business men grasp the opportu-
nifty.
