History of the
Common Pin


The common, ordinary garden variety
Of pin has been quantity and pointedly
termed 1.-THE emblem of attachment -
and it is wonder to think that women
ever lived without these attachments.
for there is hardly an hour of the day
when we do not have the need of pins.
They hold many of our hats together,
and woman has even been known to
keep an obstreperous shoe button in
place with their aid. The ordinary pin
was first invented and brought into use
about the beginning of the sixteenth
century, though there were pins made
of metal in their present form as early
as 154S, and in that year an English
statute was passed called IAN act for
the true making of pynnes," which linn
4ted their cost not to exceed shillings
and pence a thousand.
Previous to this pins were made of
lockwood, bone and silver, but only the
rich, Of course, could afford to buy
these. The poorer classes having to
use pins made them OF common wood,
like our skewers.
When pins first came into use they
were a favorite New Years gift Men
presented them to the girls of their ac-
quaintance much as they do flowers in
these days, or husbands gave their
wives an equivalent in money, which
was called pin money! an expression
which later on grew to be known as the
amount of money which husband laid
aside for his wife for her private ex-

OUR FRIEND THE MIRROR.

A girls mirror is a wise and candid
friend if she studies it with an honest
desire to remedy what she finds amiss.
Dull eyes and rough sallow skin are
natures plea for more fresh air and ex-i
ercise, and no cosmetics can take the
place of these, but a careful survey of
herself viii show her many small ways
in which the general effect of her
appearance may be improved. It would
be well If women talked occasionally
before looking glass, for this would
cure them Of many mannerisms which
annoy their friends. Yivacious girls
often make quite unnecessary display
Of teeth and gums when speaking.
Some twist their lips into all kinds of
fantastic shapes or frown ferociously-
If they talked before their looking
glasses they would soon mend their
says.

PRACTICAL
BUREAU
COVERS

WITH the old mahogany furniture
which every woman aspires to in
these days the fluffy little bureau scarf
OF lace and sheer linen is decidedly out
of the picture, and from hygientc
standpoint the fewer f1uffs in the sleep
ing room the better.
Bureau covers that are meeting with
favor this season are of piQue in shades
to match the coloring OF the apartment
or they are of pure white, and each
cover for bureau, chest or table is of
the same material. This gives an indi-
vidual touch to the room not afforded
by the covers of lace and linen.
A pique is chosen of a fine but firm
weave. and the covers are cut to fit the
tops of the pieces they are designed to
adorn. The ends do not hang over as
they did in other years. The cushion
top may be cut from the corners.
One design is used on all the covers,
that of a buttonholed scallop for the
edges done in mercerized cotton after
the scallop has been heavily padded
with darning cotton. White is, of
course, the most serviceable color, but
the shade harmonizing with the room
is much liked. The newest idea is to
work the scallops in white and use the
room tint as an outline. Old blues,
chinese red, dull rose or warm browns
give pleasing results.
Most women take their sets to the
shops to be stamped. And it is well to
remember that about a half inch of
material should be allowed for shrink
| ing above the regular dimensions of the
covers and enough of the edge to work
the scallop nicely. And. by the way, do
not cut the scallop until the work is
completed, and to insure the life of the
scallop the edge should be first run on
the sewing machine before buttonhof-
| ing.
| The monogram or initials of the own
er appear on these covers. For dress
ing table or bureau the marking of the
monogram should go across the front
so it comes in the middle of the length
or it can go Immediately in the middle
of the cover.
| For a table the marking goes across
the front edge in the middle or diago-
nalIy across the front right hand cor
ner. Pincushions this year are small
er than they have BEEN Those four or
five inches square or three and half
by six are in good proportions. The
edges are scalloped like the covers and
the monogram placed directly on top in
the center of the cover. The pincush-
ion is usually of satin, and the pique
top buttons over it SO that laundering
of the piece is easy work.

GROWING OLD

Why do some women grow old and
others keep the secret Of perp etual
youth? Here is the answer
One reason why the average woman
wears out, grows plain before her hus-
band, is that, through a mistaken idea
of duty, she lays out for herself at the
beginning of her married life a scheme
or plan of duty and employment for
her time, every hour filed with work,
with rare and short periods of relaxa-
ton.
This she follows religiously for years,
feeling that she has done her duty, be-
cause every household event occurs
regularly and on time, while she soon
becomes a mere machine, a thing with
out life Of itself or volition. She set
ties into a rut and goes round and
round and round on the same track
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1911-02-04

everlastingly in the same tiresome way.
Can any woman keep brightness
originality of thought or speech or
even mere prettiness with such life?
And without these things how can she
keep her husband and growing children
full of loving admiration, which is the
strong chain by which she can bind
them to her? How bright and jolly the
neighbours wife seems when she calls.
In nine cases out of ten it is because
the surroundings and talk of your
home are variety to her and rouse
her to originality and brightness of
speech.
Cultivate q broad attitude toward
the world and its people. Let your in
terests be far reaching and there will
be renewed vigor when it comes to
solving the problem of the home.

sticker Cupid or two are pasted The
red heart stickers on one of the cards
about real box of parlor matches are
pretty and appropriate decoration
for the inscription which runs, Shall
We Strike a Match?'
For a confirmed old bachelor nothing
could be more significant as a warn
ing than the valentine depicting a
most unattractive baldheaded man.
Around the grotesque presentment,
fancifully lettered, is the doggerel:
you'll be an ugly old bach just like
this if you don't make a choice pretty
soon. That's why send you a valen-
tine wish that you'll find the right
girl and right soon.'' This is the plain
unvarnished text-not put up into
poetical form. The illustration best
shows how it is done.
The coquette will probably send to
some poor suffering victim of Cupid
the heart wringing valentine. In this
device a toy patent clothes wringer is
pasted between two red hearts, and
the heart wringing song is as follows:
Both clothes and Of men wiring
In fact, that's my vocation.
My aid to you I'll gladly bring
Whatever your vocation.

Regarding the new congressman-at-

rise to inquire: Is it absolutely neces-
sary that he should be a resident of
Jacksonville or Tampa, or that he
should be by profession a lawyer or a

sioly because most editors are not
wealthy enough to meet the large
campaign expenses required.

splendid men. both OF EN-. and a
