One of the most lannon's Of the men who made wr IN tn giants O a
young nan named Jack. He was SO successful that he was. called JACK the
Giant killer One day while he "a travelling he stopped a a beauhful castle.
But when he got into the castle what was his surprise to find tina 1t De-
ionged to a sreat big giant, the biggest in that part of the world
THE giant knew JACK. But he pretended to be very glad to see Jack n
gave him good food and a nice bed to sleep In. After Jack had gone to
bed he heard the giant say to himself: -
Though here you lodge with m this night ~EFTTp@S
You shau not see the morning light; -14 -s irlaMEE1&T
~ My cub shan dash your brains outright
"Then Jack got up am. took a big log If wood and put In us pMce IA

IF you have d pieces OF cretenae ieft
over from house draperies. etc, do
not throw them in the scrap basket,
but fold them carefully until yea have
time to use them for the new cretonns
irt work. 1t Is q Dng time since any
heedlswork novelty has proved SO at
tractive as this treatment of cretonns
flowers on net, for the coarse mesh
forms the foundation and ahe flowers of
he %cretonns are put on to show
through.
Suppose you decide to make a Dress
Ing table cover. Take f. strip OF coarse
white plain net and cut 1t the exact
size required. The edge of this should
be either bound with narrow ribbon or
else with q frill of lace. Another idea
Is to use g Powered ribbon in keeping
with the design. When the cover is
ready for decoration cut out the sprays
of towers from the cretonne. A pretty
arrangement Is to start a large spray
In one corner, letting it stray across the
net 10 the opposite corner. The sprays
OF flowers, II not long enough, can east
ly be increased by other flowers. A
charming table center had little French
wreaths tied with ribbon and scattered
at regular intervals all along the edge.
An this was cut out of cretonne, and
the whole effect was extremely pretty.
The c~retonns motifs are pasted on
the net face downward, and for this
the pasting has been done carefully
Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-10-29
HOW TO USE SCRAPS OF CRETONNE

of the design to be attached. After
apply the c~retonne spray and press II
down with the fingers.
For curtains ream colored net or
ecru Is often used rather than plain
white, and when the background Of
the cretonne Is cream or ecru the cur
tains have quite a hand painted effect.
In a chintz furnished room the cre-
tonne scheme may be carried out in
plain parse meshed net trimmed With
c%retonne designs to match the rest OF
the chintz. and the effect Is even pref
tier than all cretonne. Dainty trfaes
such as pincushions. box coverings and
fancy work bags Will always be well
coined as birthday or Christmas pres
ents.
Another new kind Of needlework II
called "Florestinan." The difficulties
which this new work present to the
intelligent worker are few and consist
in mastering two small details. The
first of these ia to hold the wire, which
Is covered, to make the carnationa-
as seer in the fllustration-wfth the
| thread SO that the wire la concealed
A little practice makes this quite easy.
1t is first holding the wire as you
would the padding cotton In Irish
crochet. The second detail is the bind
ing of the stems. Stems a always
been crocheted or embroidered before
his work originated, but In the Flor
estinan work they are bound. This II
much better, as Ii makes the work
more adaptable. Tho carnations ass
dons with mercerized thread, fms wire
and q arochat needle.

LETTERS FROM A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS WOMAN TO HER NIECE.
VII.
NBAR JOAN:
ought to make n ideal office suit. Yes, | do like it very much bet
ter than the fawncolored corduroy. l think the gentleman who said a
word to the wise is sufficient must have had you in mind for his title role.
While W e are on the subject of clothes l want to tell you a nle expeH-
ence that l had yesterday.
I've been wanting a good seamstress to do some plain sewing for me.
Last night 1 heard of one and hustled right down to see her, because 1
was told she was pretty hard to get hold Of. She was, all right When
1 asked her 10 a week sometime this month she said, I'm afraid that
would be quite impossible. l have every day taken."
I said, We'll, I'll be willing to wait a little longer. What's the
earliest you can possibly do for me?"
Then she sort of blushed and stammered, as if afraid / wouldn't be-
lrve her. and said, "wen, to tell the truth. I have all my time engaged
for a year and a half
What do you think of that, niece?
She charges a dollar and a half a day she doeso only plain sewing.
She has never advertised in any way and yet her time is spoken for for
a year and q half ahead.
Can you beat it,?
/ talked with of her customers and she say it's because the
seamSress Is a woman in a thousand.
"She does only plain sewing-doesn dressmake at ALL you know
but she is worth every cent of the money because everything she does is
about her work, and you never have to rip out anything.
E4 / know another seamstress sin this cty-a medium good WORKER
who charges only one dollar and a quarter-tWenyh ye em less ina
this woman-and yet she hasn't half the work she wants.
That's the difference between getting your dictatfon all right except
two or three mBspeled words and three o. four commas omitted; and
getting your dctation RIGHT. lou-- 49, ~p
That's otter the difference between hanging onto a Job at ten dollars
a week, and having the job hang onto you at three times ten. "~- E+
/ think the story of that sewing woman ought to be, told at every
business college, and every other kind of college, for that matter, in the
country +nT ~~f+9 H~ 80
If / didn't nave too much else on my hands / almost think I'd go
around telling it. S.MZ
Yes, I know I'm a regular crank, Joan. But I've. always had, an idea
that the reason cranks are called cranks is because they are what make
the world go round. so I don't mind that title.
Laugh at me if you want to, but please don't forget that woman
whose work was Right-with a capital R. As ever,
Your Queer OTd' Aunt.

For a Halloween Party.

1t is doubtful il any festival Of the
yeaf offers better opportunity for orig
inal froEicsome parties than Hallow-
cen. Appropriate decorations are easily
made with jack-o'lanterns, autumn
leaves, strings of ears of corn OF such
ghostly emblems as black cats and sill
hcuette witches mounted ON broom
sticks.
The refreshment problem Is solved
with equal ease. Sweet, sirupy cider,
plenty of apples, nuts to roast and nuts
to crack, not to mention a painful Of
crisp doughnuts, and, to top all off, a
batch Of savory pumpkin pies-these
are only some of the edibles which at
once suggest themselves.
AS for games to play, they, too, have
beer set by custom to a certain extent.
You may dob" for apples In a tub of
water, you may pop corn, you may do
any one Of q dozen things which your
parents will be sure to remember
about If they have ever taken part In
Halloween celebrations.

Take three dishes, put clean water
in me, foul water in another and
leave the third empty. Blindfold a

In the clean water, the future husband

certainty no marriage at all. 1t is re-
peated three times, and every time the
arrangement of the dishes Is altered.
Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, hu-
morously tells Of such a test in verse:

The dishes thres are ranged @
And every time great care 10 shown
To have them duly changed.
And Uncle JOHN, who welded life
For decades did desire.

American boys and girls who carry

In the German capital a plan Of pro-
viding q substantial luncheon for the
children Of the public schools was in
stitated. This luncheon is served free
Of cost to those scholars whose par
ents are unable to pay. 1t has been
proved thatsthe youngsters learn much
more rapidly when provided with
wholesome food. Fortunately the
school children of this country, as a
rule, have no need of such assistance,

The winter home OF the American
red deer is very interesting. When the

herd guides them to some sheltered
spot where food is plentiful. Here, as
the snow falls, they pack 1t down,
tramptng out a considerable space,
while about them the snow mounts
higher and higher until they cannot
get out If they would. From the main

them with food.
