A LEAF OF LIFE

Holding within itself the potency of
all that is a spark from out the heights
and depths of infinite life kisses an
atom of earth-thrilling it with a
measure of it's own power and vivify-
ing it with it's own magic unfoldment.
United thus these two reach out for
more, spurred on by loves desire to
build a form divine-answering to this
insistent call atom to atom links and
molecules merge in cells.
Guided by the glowing spark these
weave their wondrous task, till eye and
ear and tongue and touch reach forth
to grasp the world.
Family at first the babe begins to
know-content indeed if but it's mouth
be hlled-till soon its ear is charmed
by the mothers lullaby and all that
glistens attracts it's eye-and now ere
veal or woe it reaches forth to grasp
all things it seeks to know-and seek
ing stimulates the inborn soul to grow
and clothe itself with larger earthly
form. And soon the child runs forth
among grass and flowers, listening to
hum of bee and wild birds song, while
sunlit winds entangle clustering cruls
and kiss it's cheeks to a glow.
Led by lifes creative hand, the spirit
grows apace, and brain responds to
thoughts that crowd it's myriad cells.
And days of school and days of play fill
full the conscious life till loves awaken
ening comes. This jeweled star of life's
bright crown-the prize of youth and
age, lights eye and face and quickens
step and rounds each form with grace.
1t takes the halves of human life and
weaves them into one-one in thought,
desire and need and one in life's intent,
and now our youth and maid, imbued
with this great joy, go forth adown the
years, seeking the futures store-leav-
ing footprints along the paths of time
that lead to many door where
stricken ones received their mead of
sympathy and love. While here and
there along the path come tiny lives
from out the starry depths to fill their
hearts with loves still fuller measure.
And now, like autumnal leaves flood
ed in the glory of the setting sun,
choice friends well earned by loves
devotion, enrobe their ripening souls
with kindly thoughts and deeds-sure
passport to celestial realms, where
thrills that wondrous joy that passes
mortal ken and hoodeth full each
rounded life that strove to do it's best.

EATING UNDER THE TREES

More than they that watch for the
morning." do those who love out-of-
doors wait for spring. Finally comes
the joyful cry: I'VE can eat outdoors
this morning"
The last detected straggler, he who
never eats any breakfast" quickenS
his laggard steps as this cheerful slo-
gan rings through the house.
He it is who sets the table under
the cherry tree, who runs back after
the things other people have forgotten,
who fussily drapes the canton-flanne
bag around the coffee pot; and who
finally seats himself and consumes his
due share of ham and eggs, with the
bland Importance of one who has him
self invented out-of-doors.
Ours is just common city lot, 50x150
feet. We have fenced our garden in
with unobtrusive wire fencing, screened
with vines and shrubs. Nobody can
observe us much behind their varied
foliage, and under the low spreading
green caves of our low-headed fruit
trees.
We have a plain dining table and a
small serving table, which we carry out
every spring. All discarded chairs are
repaired and devoted to outdoor use.
Cane seats are replaced with coarser
cane or canvas, as the veneer seats
blister if allowed to get wet. The can
vas is painted, as the nails must be, or
they will rust the ladies' dresses. In
case anybody is afraid of damp grass,
we have a number of the round thick
straw mats, at cents each, which we
throw down for the feet.
We carry our meals out on two big
trays. The chafing dish and the nickel
plated baker, each with hot water in
the lower pan, keep two dishes piping
hot. We do not cook with the chafing
dish, because there is usually too much
air stirring, and besides, it takes too
long. A big canton-fiannel bag keeps
the coffee pot warm. We use a clean
broom bag.
We often serve a dozen or more
guests at our outdoor meals, and with
only a 1.-THE of the labor involved when

COOL WATER WITHOUT ICE

Ice is not necessity in order to Sc
cure cool water, for water can be made
sufficiently cool for drinking purposes
by putting it in a bottle or jug and
wrapping a wooden rag around the lat
ter, then setting it in a shallow dish OF
water, and placing the whole outfit III
a cool place; If in a draft, all the bet
ter. The principle involved is found In
the fact that when evaporation takes
place heat is given off. The woolen rag
absorbs the water from the dish be-
low, which is evaporated from the rag,
cooling the water. If you have ever
had alcohol or ether on your hands,
you will no doubt have noticed how
cool the skin felt This was because of
the evaporation of the liquid. The fast
er it evaporates the cooler the object
gets.
In tropical countries there are in
common use water containers made OF
porous clay; the water slowly seeping
through the clay provides sufficient
moisture for evaporation. This method
of cooling does not produce tce-cold
water, but the water is sufficiently
cooled so that one is greatly refreshed
when drinking it, and the danger or
cramps and other ills which follow the
continued use of ice-cold water are
avoided.-Suburban Life.

NAMES FOR BEACH COTTAGES

1t is a pleasant custom to give ones
beach cottage name, by which 1t is
always known among ones neighbors
and friends. 1t is not always easy,
however, to select an unconventional
name, Such conventional names as
Beach Bluff" Long View," Rising
Sum-" Seaside" REST Cottage"
"Seaview" and "Sea Crest" are alto
gether out of the question. There is
probably not a group of cottages any
where along the coast but that has
several of these trite names.
Sometimes an Indian name may be
appropriate, such as "Minnehaha,"
"Annisquam," or some name peculiar
to that part of the country where the
names with a humorous turn, like
1.-THE Clam She'll" one whose name
was Wood called his cottage 1.-The
Woodshed." Nautical terms, such as
''The Cabin 1.-THE Quarterback" are
popular. good plan is to name the
cottage after some locality in the vi
cinity of your permanent home. The
writer, for instance, has a cottage
which he calls "Swatara," that being
the Indian name of a creek which
passes through some beautiful country
in the vicinity of his winter home.
Then again, it is often possible to get
a name from flowers, especially If
flowers of that sort can be grown
around the cottage; Sweet Pea Cot
tage," for instance, or "Geranium Cot
tage," "Nasturtium Cottage" Rose
Cottage" are novel and pretty.-Ex-

FLOOR COVERING FOR SUMNER

In making the selection of floor cover
ings for the summer home there are
two points which should be held we'll
in mind: First, the character and color
of the furnishing and decoration of the
room in which the rug or Garnet will
be introduced: and, second the quality
of the textile itself. While to many
people 1t would seem that these points
should be reversed in Importance, we
purposely put them in this way; every
good housewife will look for quality in
purchasing the fittings for her home,
therefore this feature will take care of
itself, while unfortunately the necessity
for harmony in color and design of the
floor covering with the other furnish
ings of the room is not always suf-
ficiently considered.
There are manufactured today some
excellent inexpensive domestic rugs,
and these offer a much wider choice
than was afforded q few years ago,
when one was practically limited to
mating, rag rugs and art squares OF
impossible colors and patterns. One OF
the best allwool rugs now made, which
is well suited to house of the bunga-
low type or on Craftsman lines, comes
in delightful colors-rich mulberry red,
golden and chocolate brown, dull blue,
sage green and mahogany. These rugs
show a two-toned border effect, while
the body of the rug shows the lighter
tone. Some of the designs have spaced
conventional figures in a lighter shade
of the same color, or in ivory or black
on plain field. These rugs are hand
woven and of heavy wool and give good
return for the money expended for
them.
There is another style in all-wool
rugs known as the Scotch Art" rug.
1t is reversible and made in great
variety of colors, running largely to the
more delicate tones, and is particularly
suitable for bedrooms.
Then, too, for bedrooms there are
rugs made after the old rag rug of our
grandmothers days. These are sold
under various trade names, among
them the Priscilla, Pilgrim and Rag
style rugs. These are all very good
makes.
The best among the cheapest rugs to
be found are those Of mating made of
heavy twisted straw. They come in
good designs and colors, and frequently
are found very effective in completing q
color scheme for summer cottage.
In furnishing a moderate priced bum
galow, the floor coverings can be of the
simplest type and yet the finished effect
be thoroughly satisfying and practical.
IN lne large living rooih' WHIcn 10 a
usual part of the plan of such a house,
if the walls are of rough plaster tinted
in a shade of dull tan, the floor of yell
low pine should be stained to light
brown tone and finished with a ma
terial which will supply the effect of
rubbed wax, but which is more durable
and does not require renewal. Tne hard
usage to which the floors of summer
cottage-particularl in the mountains
or at the seaside-are subjected makes
the question of the finish given the
floors an important one. A Bungalow
rug" in two shades of brown, almost
matching the color of the woodwork,
would look well in room of this char
acter.
If the size of the room requires 1t,
this central rug may be complemented
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-19
LOS ANGELES HERALD SUNDAY MAGAZINE

by two runners of the same weave and
color. With the plain walls and the
two-toned floor covering, figured dra-
peries, cushions, etc, should be intro
duced.
For the dining room, where the walls
may be Delft blue in tone and the
woodwork stained a lighter shade of
brown or treated with white enamel,
the floor should be given the same color
and finish as the adjoining room. Here
a mating rug would fill all require
ments and look well, besides being ex-
tremely inexpensive. Such a rug has
also to recommend 1t the ease with
which it may be removed on cleaning
days. A design in dull blue and green
of Chinese suggestion might well be
selected. A good effect is obtained by
windows with this pattern stenciled as
q border lin smaller size) reproducing
the green and blue of the rug.
Where the house is old and the floors
are not in condition to be exposed, mat
ting by the piece can cover all floors
attractively. A heavy padding of
quilted paper should be placed beneath
the mating; this preserves it, as well
as making the floor covering more
agreeable to the tread. With this treat
ment for floors, rugs may or may not
be used, as desired. A beautifully cool
and dainty effect is obtained where no
color is introduced on the mating
covered floor. Where walls are light in
color, and much gayly-flowered chintz
showing a white or ivory ground is en-
ployed, the finished room is dainty and
attractive.
A good quality of mating which will
give satisfactory service can be pur-
chased for $14 roll of forty yards.
The cheaper grades are scarcely worth
buying, as they wear so badly
A very special interest has been
aroused in old Chinese rugs, as some
very beautiful specimens of these have
been on exhibition in New York during
the past year. The wonderful tawny
yellows, dull bronze, "copper" blue and
gray tones these show are a revelation
in color quality. The price of these
rugs is prohibitive to the majority of
people and their rarity makes them al
most museum pieces, but it is interest
ing to note that some modern oriental
rugs of the Mahal family show similar
colors, and while the design in these
carry only a general suggestion of the
Chinese characteristics the whole effect
is reminiscent of the more costly rug.
Such a rug is really a wise invest
ment, as it leads itself well to the deco
ration of any room which is not too
delicate in treatment. In about 13x15
feet size Such rug may De purchased
for $500 or a little less. These rugs, of
course, are suitable to interiors fitted
for -year-round use or to the
more elaborate summer home.
Also the body brussels the royal
wilton, the administer and other good
and well known makes of domestic rugs
give satisfactory service in such houses.
In selecting any of these, however,
much care must be taken to find those
of good design and soft colors, as the
time has evidently not yet arrived
when the maker produces only harmon
ious and beautiful effects in floor COW

CARE OF WILLOW FURNITURE

One of the advantages possessed by
willow furniture is the fact that 1t Is
both weatherproof and washable. The
natural willow is preferred by many
people to that which has been stained,
for use in the summer home. If 1t
becomes soiled it may easily be cleaned
by going over it with warm water and
strong soapsuds, which make it look
almost as fresh and clean as when
new. AS no harm results from the ex-
posure of willow furniture to the rain,
it may be left on the open porch with
out fear of damage following. The only
effect rain water has is to turn the
color of the natural willow to soft
tan or russet.-Echange.
