The latest fad is to cover hatpins.
Does that sound strange? 1t is not.
however, for if you possess a plain
and unattractive pin and wish to give
It the cachet of originality all you have
to do is to embroider tiny disk OF
black satin or any shade that you pre-
fer with gold thread, put the disk
over the head of the pin, tie 1t tight
and the deed is done. If you had Il

whatever it was. has disappeared. COW
err a small button in any way you like
and paste it into the empty space left
by the lost bit Of glass. If hatpin
Is too small. make little rosette OF
gold tissue and run the pin through
the middle.
The ways Of decorating such pins
are really too numerous to mention in
detail, but any one may do it and get
the best results with the least effort
and expense. Indeed, it is not diff
cult to make.

Hortense announced to her mother
when she arrived home, I'm going to
make a cake all by myself. It's the
kind that can't possibly fail and 1t
tastes just as good no matter how you
box it up"
Downing large apron, she proceed
ed to take possession of the kitchen.
With careful precision, after much
weighing and measuring, Hortense
finally poured the rich, dark batter
into the pan. She wasn't quite sure
as to the heat of the oven, but she
lowered around anxiously with flushed
cheeks for the prescribed half-hour.
1t was with thrill of triumph that
she finally lifted out the delicious
smelling golden-brown cake and depos-
tied it on the table. Later she tele-
phoned young Mrs. Drake that the
cake was a glorious success.

house that evening the engaged couple

merrily that on the contrary she was

was before them. Mrs. Drake had the
honor of cutting it.

Hortense.
Young Mrs. Drake, with much cere-
mony, poised the knife and then let
| it descend through the soft, white
icing. The knife sunk a little way
into the cake and then suddenly
stopped.
Young Mrs. Drake sawed in a pc.

withdrew the knife and inserted it in
another part of the cake. The same
saving motion was employed and a
gritty sound under the knife edge
