HOMESPUN LINEN SHEETS MAKE
VERY HANDSOME BED SPREADS

II you have fallen heir to one Of the
large homespun linen sheets that once
belonged to your mother and to her
mother before her, why not make your
self a handsome bedspread that will be
valuable not only for its beauty, but
also as a family heirloom and keep
sake?
There are women who have these old
linen sheets carefully laid away in tissue
paper? they are brought out only on
state occasions and are then wrapped
in lavender and put back in their hid
ing place to grow yellow with age.
Have the sheet stamped all the way
around the edge with some attractive
floral design, or you can mark 1t your
self by drawing faint circles with a
hard lead pencil, outlining a dinner
plate and around the circle sketching a
leaf or floral pattern.
II you do the marking yourself be
sure to stretch the linen carefully over

SILVER THIMBLBS
ARE BEST FOR USE
Steel or Celluloid Make Very
Good Substitutes.

What kind Of a thimble do you use?
Too much care cannot be given in the
selection of a thimble. Inflammation
and often very sore spots on the finger
are the result of a carelessly chosen
thimble, a cheap one or one that is the
least bit rough at the edge.
Silver thimbles are the best, but for
those that oAnnot have one, choose a
steel or celluloid thimble. Be careful
that it is large enough to fit the finger
without pressing it too tightly either
on the tip or around the edge. Good
work cannot be done with a thimble
that is uncomfortable.
Many women use an ordinary embroid-
cry needle when embroidering with silk.
~ElRiS is incorrect, for 1t is sure to rough
en- the silk and make the work untidy.
Use a long-eyed embroidery needle.
Number or 10 is best for flo silk, which
is used on linens, lawns, and fine cloths.
For" heavy linens use No. and for
butchers linen No. Z. Also use No! Z
for buttonholing the edges of center
pieces; always make the knot on the
end Of the silk cut from the skein.

By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

Do you realize that the Borden baby
contest will close now in just eleven
days?
And that includes to-day.
Before you have had time to scarcely
turn around the time will slip away, and
that $50 in gold VIII be placed in the
dimpled hand of Washington's most
beautiful baby.
In eleven days more the winner of the
second prize win be sleeping in a lovely
brass beds dreaming dreams that only
little children know. Nor will the happi-
ness end with these two children, for
there will be 30 who will be awarded
prizes, you know, both in cash and in
handsome presents.
Oh, there is no doubt of the value of
the prizes. You can go and see them for
yourself in the shops where they are on
exhibition. If you have any doubt Of this.
But it isn't the children who will be
Joyous in eleven more days because of
the many handsome prizes awarded them
by the judges in the baby contest that
want to remind you to-day.
1t is to that dear baby IN your own
home that 1 want to call your attention.
Have you entered his (or herr picture
in the Borden baby contest?
That is the question
And your answer to it means a great
deal to the little children.
First Name May Be Neighbor's
In just eleven days more you are go
ing to read the list of the little children
in Washington and its vicinity who won
the many prizes.
Perhaps the first name on the list will
be the child OF your next door neighbor
and the playmate Of your own little girl,
whom you have refused to give even
chance in the matter.
And when this little maid of yours
looks Up into your face when you tell
the family at home that her playmate
wen the $50 in gold and lisps an earnest
request to know why you didn't enter
her picture for a prize, what are you
going to say to her?
You can't tell her that you weren't
given the opportunity to have her pic
ture made absolutely free of cost to
you.
You can't say that you were not in
Hited to bring it or send 1t to the contest
editor of The Washington Herald.
You can't say either of these things
to her because a child's eyes look
through the skin; through the flesh; right
down to the naked soul, and there is no
way to deceive her.

NOTE OF DIFFERENCE IN NEW
MODES GIVE INDIVIDUALITY

In spite of the uniformity Of the coun-
try as regards plainness. a good tailor
manages to introduce some very impor-
tant features and nearly every one of the
new modes has a distinct note of differ
ence, which distinguishes it and gives It
an individuality of its own.
In the case of a dead-Ieaf-brown
Yorkshire tweed, which is dividing the
honors with the Scotch and Irish
tweeds, and which was supplemented
with a black diagonal stripe, and fin
ished with a warm brown velvet collar.
the coat was designed with plain revers
and brown horn buttons, while there was
a plain band round the base of the coat,
into which was spliced a pointed tab
studded with buttons, the same effect
being introduced on the cuffs.
This band came to an abrupt end
on either side of the coat after leav-
ing 1t quite unadorned in front

JUST ELEKEN MORE DAYS.
BEFORE CONTEST CLOSES
Gold from Her Own Dimpled DarLng-She
Cannot Afford to Put the Matter off,

She will know that you just didn't do
it, and there will be no reason that you
can give her that will 10 worth to YOU
the breath you eXpend in FaynS IL, for
she will know that you could have given
her the chance had you cared enough.
20 I'll have a picture made of Billy
before the contest closes; there is plenty
of time yet" one mother told me on
Saturday.
Yes, there is plenty of time yet.
But there is none to spare.
The days slide by swiftly, and there
are but eleven more left you.
Stealing from Children.
Procrastination in this matter is the
thief that will steal from your own little
child. so you cannot afford to put the
matter of any longer.
1t isn't as though you were asked to
take little trouble for some grown-up
member of your family who could nag
you until you accomplished It.
You are invited to enter your baby's
picture among the hundreds that have
already been entered in the Borden baby
contest, that the dear little fairy IN
your home may have a chance to win
a splendid prize, either in gold or its
equivalent.
In nine cases out of ten the baby Is
too young to urge you into accepting the
invitation: too young TO tease or nag,
and there is.ao reminder except con-
science.
And surely conscience will tell you that
you have put the matter off quite Ions
enough as it is, and that no time is to
be lost now.
If you haven't a picture to send. it
will cost you nothing to take the little
codger down TO the R4chrach studio and
have one made for the express purpose
Of winning a splendid prize.

Little Miss Somervell Comes to the
Borden Baby Contest in the Most
Charming Pose Possible to a
Small Maid.

I quite forgot to tell you that you were
invited to have breakfast this morning
with little Miss Aubrey Norris Somer-
veil, at the home Of her father and moth
er.I Mr. and Mrs. William H. Somervell,
whose home is 311S Thirteenth street
northwest.
1t doesn't matter so much about the in
vitation, however, for Aubrey will make
you feel perfectly at home If you come
without it, for she is Avery sociable little
maid, and extends her hospitality even to
the stranger who crosses her threshold.
Not only that-she has scores of dollies
who must eat at first table anyway, be-
cause they are very particular company,
you know, and some of them are very lit
tie and very hungry, and mustn't be kept
waiting.
Aubrey is just two years and FIVE
months old, but she has acquired a large
family of all sorts and conditions of
dolls and Teddy bears, and nothing gives
her so much pleasure. 1 am told, as to
gather them all around her family board
where she pours the tea herself and
serves them with as much seriousness and
earnestness as her mother ever did the
most particular guest who ever came to
eat with the grown-up family at the
grown-up table.
There can never be a more charming
pose than that of a little maid at some
honey occupation that makes evident
her womanly instinct, even at a very
tender age, so the picture man brought
little Aubrey Somervell TO the Borden
baby contest at a most interesting me-
ment, and II she lifts her piquant little
face when the photographs are being
judged and invites the men selected to
award the prizes TO have a cup of tea at
her tiny board, she Is sure to win their
hearts en- masSe, for you know the time
worn saying that the best way, to reach
a man is through his stomach" and the
contest judges are just like all other
men, quite susceptible TO the fascinating
influence of pretty maids tea table

Here is a new mousetrap. Put a small
piece of cheese in the center Of a sheet
of sticky fly paper, and place it where
the mouse is most likely to CO. and let
it lie there, and you are sure to get Mr.
Mouse. If bothered with them in dress
ers and clothes presses, put moth balls
around and they will disappear. 1 have
rid my fiat of the pesky things in this
way. Benzine will remove all traces of
the paper should it by accident get stuck
to the table or floor.

LITTLE HELPS.
Comfort Shields.

The end of the comfort nearest the
head generally soils first. To protect 1t I
cover the edge with muslin, although cal
leo or gingham will do as well. Take a
piece Of goods fourteen inches wide,
double and fold over one end of comfort
so It will be seven inches on each side.
Turn edges neatly and tack on the COM
fort. By keeping this end at the head
and it being taken of when soiled,
washed, and again tackled on, 1t is q
great saving Of the comfort.
