Where's your smile? Be sure to veal
it. Wear all your other ornaments ant
attractions and forget your smile and YOU
presence will cheer few of your friends
But leave every jewel behind and with
your smile and CHEEKY good morning
or good evening for a greeting and you
will be welcome in any circle. 1t Is not
necessary to make known all your trials
to each person you meet. They have trou
| bles of their own and you might be some.
what surprised to find yours truly insig-
nificant if they were to open their hearts
and tell YOU all. Don't manufacture a
smile nor force one (although this is bet
ter than none). but cultivate the real
thing. Talk cheerfully of pleasant things
and events, store up happiness and it will
not fail to express itself in your face.
Training yourself to be interested in
everything around you is one OF the surest
ways of having a face that gives courage
and interest to others.
The da1ning of stockings is no small
task in large family. But are you not
doing a great deal of it that is not neces
sary? If in the stockings of one member
holes are found week after week in al
most the same place, examine the shoes
1t may be that there are little nail points,
ever so small which do not hurt the feet,
that cut away the threads. 1t is a good
plan to have all shoes examined and every
nail filed off. Cut a piece of felt or new
glue it in place, the soft side up. Renew
it often. 1t may be cut to cover the whole
sole of the shoe. There is another nail
beside the shoe nail that is very destruc-
tive to stockings if allowed to become too
long. 1t should be assured that all mem
bers of the family give the feet proper
care and keep their nails in good condi-
ton. No matter how cheap nor how ex-
pensive hosiery you may buy it cannot
withstand the constant friction against
nails nor sharp hard substances of any
sort. Children may early be taught to
take stitches for themselves. Boys as well
as girls become skilled with the needle
when young if pains is taken to interest
them As far as possible each child should s"at
wear. | have read that to rub the heels
of children's stockings with a good hard
soap protects and keeps them from wear
ing SO soon. Frequent changing lessons
the labor. Having two pairs to wear al
ternate days is another plan
