ACT AS SPUR TO MANS PRIDE.
Love and Belief Are Powerful Agents
for Reformation.

Love and belief In a man can never
hurt him. 1t will always act as a
spur to his pride, which is invariably
close to a mans love. whilst it has
little or nothing to do with a woman's.
Even when the schoolboy falls in
love with the little girl in pinafores,
his first instinct is to acquit himself
in her eyes in some magnificent way
to knock out some other boy. or In
timidate a foe.
This instinct remains with men IN
til they die, just as girls from the
cradle or inspired by love seek beauty
to appear lovely in the eyes OF their
adorers.
And the masculine pride and PROV
ess and strength are what the wise
girl will use In her desire to reform
some man who is merely weak.
Nagging drives such men into the
depths. Every look of derision. snub,
insult. sinks the iron deeper into their
souls.-Exchange

Child'R Bib.

An excellent way for making chill
dren's bibs, and one that fully an
swers the purpose, is made by using
the regular yoke pattern, cutting the
back deep enough so that a narrow
piece OF the goods comes under the
arm. Instead of the same depth yoke
in front, cut the material as long as
the child's dress, rounding the goods
at the side if you prefer. Join the
back yoke to the front piece; cut the
sleeves, and sew in; face the yoke,
neck and sides with bias strips of the
material. Two buttons will be sufi-
cient for the back. When finished you
will have a bib that not only entirely
covers the front of the childs dress,
but also protects the sleeves.

marks.
The signet rings of noblemen bore
the owners crest or arms. The rings
OF merchants bore intricate mono

are certain old continental firms that
preserve in cabinets the seal rings
worn by their founders-rings whose
seals are inscribed with the trade
marks still in use"
