OAINTIES FROM SCRAPS
MANY PRETTY THINGS MADE
FROM ODDS AND ENDS.
Any Pieces of Lace, However Small,
Can by SkiIlful Fingers Be
Turned Into Articles Of
Beauty.

Every well ordered house has At
least one bag for the reception Of odds
and ends. The stores are now full of
beautiful remnants of all sorts and
lengths Of lace, and many dainty and
useful articles may be made from
them. 1t takes only a little thought
and ingenuity 10 see what the newest
touches are in neckwear and fancy
articles 10 be able 10 concoct many
pretty things from odds and ends OF
lace and embroidery. If you happen
TO have some bits of real or good imi-
tation lace in your possession every
scrap, however much ii may be torn,
may be used TO good advantage If
mended first by being transferred
neatly on TO the finest net and sewed
TO this through paper, afterward tear
ing the paper away. Any pieces, how
ever small, can by skillful fingers be
turned into articles of beauty.

caps and other headdresses worn by
girls at present may be made in the
same way with the addition of ribbon
trimmings.
Artistic little candle shades and
shades for electric light bulbs are also
most successfully made OF pieces OF
lace lined with a color.
There is no end of ways in which
these odds and ends may be used on
collars, cuffs, jabots and other acces-
sories Of dress. Tiny picot edgings
or footings, sewed to lace, often make
a great difference, not only in ap-
pearance. but in durability and
strength. Exquisite collar and cuffs
sets, pocketbooks, belts, work bags,
sachets. cushion covers and other
things made of bold openwork design
of lace or embroidery may be beauti-

HAS UNWATERED THE MAINE

General BiXby. chief OF the army en-
gineers, who has had charge OF the un'
watering OF the Maine, recently er-
pressed the opinion that the destruc
tion OF the battleship was caused by
the explosion Of her magazines. No
external explosion. in his Judgment
could have caused the conditions oh
served in the remains Of the vessel
But General Bixby added that the prt
mary cause OF the explosion would
likely never be known. so the mys'
terry OF the Maine. unlike the hull H.
self. may never be revealed. General
Bixby said that unless the fragment
OF torpedo could be found there Is
no way OF connecting an outside
agency with the blowing UP Of the
vessel

such, says General Bixby, and the de
terioration has been SO great that 4,

Indeed, his thirst for knowledge car

But, being a king, he was exceedingly

One day there came to the court

the king greatly. He told the moh'
arch a number Of things that ne never
knew before, and the king was de-
lighted. But finally it came to the
point where the ruler wanted to know
the age of the professor. so he Thought
of mathematical problem.

The SHOW.


This is about Billy. Ben and Butts
and Ben's sister. Miss Angelina Gun
ningham Courtiss. The reason for her
long name is that Angie had been tax
ing singing lessons in town. and since
some great person had found she pos
sessed voice Angie had decided that
she should dignity her new calling as
"star" of the village by using her~full
name. No one knew she had 1t until
then; she had always been known as
Ben's big sister Angie.
The boys had been preparing an en-
tertainment for some weeks to raise
money for the gymnasium. 1t was
Billy's idea. and when he found 1t
was sure to be successful he began
to put on a great many airs. Then 1t
was that Ben thought of Angie.

stand that if child is hungry all the
time, it is reasonable to suppose that be
would steal to satisfy his hunger, but
confess fail to see the connection be.
tween diet and morals"
This mother was talking with her
physician about her daughter, a subject
they had often discussed.
Agnes, though very small person,
was big problem to solve, chiefly be.
cause her parents failed to appreciate
the Doctors assertions. The underlying
principle which seemed to actuate all the
child's conduct was fixed idea to have
her own way, and apparently she gained
her point every time. She ate just what
she wanted al times best suited to her
gard for the wishes of others. She
never approved of sitting through a
meal, or of coming to the table even,
unless there was nothing else she wished
to do first. She bad an inordnate de-
sire for sweets, and seemingly plenty OF
money to crafty her taste.
The poor little girl was nervous, hys-
tercal, and an9mic. She had headaches
and indigestion most of the time, and to
expect child in this condition to be
obedient was asking a good deal, par
ticularly when she knew that at
home no one could or would make her
mind. Several other children in the
same school were complained, of for
listlessness, inattention, and poor work
generally. In every case it was found
that these children were consuming
quantities of candy.
Mary had dark rings under her eyes,
she was nervous, restless, poor scholar,
and baby"
The teacher investigated the home
conditions, and found that the child was
an inveterate tea-drinker, and very
poor sleeper. When the mother was
interviewed, she acknowledged that she
gave her all the tea she wanted, because,
she said, her daughter had such "deli.
cate appetite" and she craved tea.
Children, even very small ones, are
quite capable of displaying pronounced
likes and dislikes regarding their diet,
and only too often they carry ont their
ideas. Because child likes tea, coffee,
and highly seasoned food is not sensi-
BILE reason why he should have them;
indeed, there are imperative reasons why
he should not.
Sweets in moderation are not neces.

may be very beneficial, but unless chill
dren are carefully watched the habit of
taking an injurious quantity 10 easily
