woman,s Friendship.

1t Is a wondrous advantage to a
man, in every pursuit of vocation, to
secure an adviser in a sensible woman.
In woman there is at once a suitable
delicacy Of tact and plain soundness
OF judgment which are rarely com
bined to an equal degree in man. A
woman, if she really is your friend,
will have a sensitive regard for your
character, honor and repute. She will
seldom counsel you to do a shabby
thing, for woman friend always de-
sires to be proud of you. At the same
time her constitutional timidity
makes her more cautious than your
male friend. She, therefore, seldom
counsels you to do an imprudent
thing.
A mans best female friend is wife
of good sense and good heart, whom
he loves and who loves him. If he
has that he need not seek elsewhere
But supposing the man to be without
such helpmate, female friendship he
must still have, or his intellect will be
without garden, and there will be
many an unheeded gap in even the
strongest fence. Better and safer, OF
course, such friendship where dispari-
ties Of years or circumstances put the
idea of love out of the question Mid
die life has rarely this advantage;
youth and old age have
We may have female friendships
with those much older and those
much younger than ourselves. Mo-
lier's old housekeeper was a great
help to his genius; and Montaigues

tainly beloved by me-" he says, with
more than paternal love, and involved
in my solicitude and retirement as one

male friendship, is, indeed to man the
bulwark, sweetener and ornament of
his existence. To his mental culture
1t is invaluable; without it, all his

Darning is one of the simplest
stitches in embroidery. and some very
pleasing results are obtained when
this stitch is used as a background.
1t is quickly and easily done, espe-
cially on crash or burlap or any loose
ly woven fabric. The Byzantine design
given here is to be repeated as bor-
der across the end of a portiere. With
a yard-stick or ruler mark off a Dor
der six inches wide, and place the de-
sign at regular intervals one inch up
from the lower border line. Transfer
the design on the material by means
of carbon paper, or, if dark material
Is used, a white stamping outfit
To do the darning, carry the EN-
broidery silk diagonally across the
background of the border like run
ming stitch in sewing with a short
stitch on the under side and a longer
stitch on the right side. The next row
of stitches lies parallel with this,
with a narrow space between. The
beauty of the work lies in the fact
that the stitches of one line come

laundering Lace. Curtains.

When there are no frames on hand
large lace curtains may be pinned on a
clean carpet and allowed to dry even
ly in this way. Curtains that are
dried on clothes line are so pulled
out of shape by the process that they
can seldom be hung properly. Inex-
pensive Nottingham and other lace
curtains which do not require ironing,
are best dried on frames. Wash them
clean and starch them slightly. Pin
them on the light wooden frames,
which come for this purpose, and on
which they may be evenly dried If
they are ironed they are likely to be
pulled out of shape.

The art OF making good, sweet hams,

The old-time southern planter never
bred hogs for fat, and rarely cured an
animal for their own use that weighed

disposed to breed and feed for fat, be-
cause they are not satisfied to send TO

him up TO 300 pounds
a 3OO-pound hog does not make
good hams They are coarse and CON

People want hams from hogs that
weigh from 1875 to 1850 pounds, and
they cannot be deceived by hams from
a SOO-pound hog with the fat trimmed
