Love and Envy.


The highest love is ever quickest
to, detect the failures and ineonsis
tencies or the beloved. Just because
II Its intensity it can be content with
nothing less than" the best, because
the best means the blessedest: and
1t longs that the object, of it's thoughts
should be most blessed forever. 1t is
mistake to think that green-eyed
jealousy Is the quickest to detect the
spots on the sun. the freckles on the
face, and the marring discords in the
music Of life; love Is quicker, more
microscopic, more cxacting that the
idear should be achieved, Envy is con-
tent TO indicate the fault, and leave It
but love detects and waits and holds
it's peace until the fitting opportunity
arrives and then sets itself to remove
the defect.-The Angelus.

takes needle with white thread and

break the thread only when ready TO
iron them and see that they are
placed on her bureau. The same in

stockings.
Lace Curtains-All lace curtains
should be soaked for least an hour
in cold water I'm which a little borax
has been dissolved before putting them
Into warm suds. This takes out the
smoky odor and softens the dirt.
Ice Pick-Always remember that
II the Ice pick IS lost or misplaced for
the time being, an ordinary hat pin
gradually forced into ice will produce
crack and separate the ice without a

and even common pins to crack ice for
patients.

why young or old should be careless
about having their footwear kept, in
