Fancy Work For Children.

The children often come to you and
ask for something to do, something to
make, for a child's ideas are always
creative Here is some rainy day work
for busy fingers:
A wall match holder can be made on
a foundation of cardboard cut out in a
diamond, the upper portion of which
is much larger than the lower. Fold
the two lower ends upward so as TO
form pocket and cover the whole
with silk or any bright colored fabric.
Then bind with heavy cord and attach
a ring to hang it up by.
A hanging pincushion is also easily
made. Cut out two pieces about five
or six inches square from bristol
board and cover one with figured
material and one with plain. Sew
them together and then bend the
square thus formed into cornucopia
shape. with the plain side as the lin
ing. Bind with cord and leave a loop
to hang by. Fill with absorbent cot
ton or with bran all the way to the
top and sew silk tightly over it. Cot
ton is better. as bran is rather heavy.

A BRAVE TOREADOR.
One of the Most Thrilling inci dents Of
the Bull Rinq.

The famous Spanish toreador Reverte
figured in one of the most thrilling
incidents ever witnessed in the arena.
1t was at Bayonne. After disposing of
two bulls Reverte had twice plunged
his sword into third of great strength
and ferocity. and as the beast contin-
ued careering wildly the spectators be-
gan to hiss Reverte for bungling
Wounded to the very quick of his
pride. the Spaniard shouted, The bull
is slain" and, throwing aside his
sword. sank on one knee with folded
arms in the middle of the ring. He
was right. but he had not allowed for
the margin Of accident. The wounded
beast charged full upon him. but the
matador, splendid to the last, knelt
motionless as n statue. while the spec
tators held their breath in Mortified
suspense. Reaching his victim. the
bull literally bounded at him, and as
he sprang he sank in death. with his
last effort giving one fearful lunge Of
the head that drove a horn into the
thigh OF the kneeling man and laid
bare the bone from the knee to the
joint. Still Reverte never flinched, but
remained kneeling, exultant in victory,
but calmly contemptuous Of applause,
till he was carried away to heal him Of
his grievous wound.

FADS AND FASHIONS

New York. Feb. 27.-There are in
Vulnerable effective weaves in white
wool among the new materials. Ev-
cry imaginable change is rung upon
basket weaves and loose woven home
spun effects, and the very fine soft
twills are popular too, particularly in
connection with the simple one-piece
frocks for which the looser and
rougher weaves are trifle heavy.
Still lighter than the fine serges are
the white woolens of the wolfe and
etamine and marquisette family, EN-
inently practical for summer frocks
and as rule soiling less easily than
the serges but never achieving quite
the smartness of the latter where tail
ored effects are concernd.
In many of the models flat plaits
movement without altering the
straightness of line. An idea ex-
plotted in several good designs is the
introduction of box plat or invert-
ed box plat or several plaits at each
side of the skirt. This plat or group
of plaits starts below the smooth
plain hip section and is headed by a
big embroidered patch pocket or APP
piled piece resembling a patch poe

these skirts appears around the neck
and on the peasant sleeves.

be much used. There is a light metal
gray which is particularly effective for
spring wear. 1t is cool in suggestion,
does not show the dust and looks es-
pecially well with shades of violet or
green in millinery. But while all
shades of blue are satisfactory in
street suits, gray must be chosen with

White pleated lawn jabots with
trimmings of Cluny or Irish lace are
always neat and correct, and this year
there are a multitude of dainty cOlOrS-
ed neck bows variously knotted that
make the neck look smart and trim.
The Roumanian coat will shortly be
all the rage. 1t is without sleeves and
is made in white cloth, with either
fine black braid or else double strip
ing of white and black edging it all
around. 1t is simple yet chic, and is
slipped over thin bllouses when the
air is little chilly.

threads and silk embroidery are in

Toques of brocade with puffed

Points
For
Mothers

If it's shame to give a dog a bad
name. how much more deplorable is
it to thus brand little child. says a
ents proceed to do this very thing with
the utmost unconcern. They give their
little child the worst heritage that
they have in their power to burden
him with. the consciousness that he is
not a good boy and hence that good
ness can hardly be expected of him
Perhaps the first thing that any
man or woman has to learn in I'M
dertaking any business Of life is the
lesson of confidence in his own worth.
If man believes himself a failure,
success would be a miracle or an acct
dent
And it's pretty much the same way
with behavior. Unconsciously we mod
ell our behavior after the type Of per
son that we imagine ourselves to be.
But all these things are platitudes
which every parent knows. Yet know.
ing them. how often does he proceed
to give his little child that worst of
all gifts-a Willingness to think evil of
himself.
Perhaps one reason why this is so is
the almost general failure OF grown
people to realize how early in life i'm
pressions are made. 1t must be re-
membered that before a child can talk
coherently he can understand, or at
least gain definite impressions. from
conversation which he overhears. This
Is proved time and time again by the
chance remarks baby makes which
show that he has heard and understood
something not meant for his ears.
And yet how often his parents take
him out and apologize for his behavior
or imply by their conversation that he
is a terror!
well. there will be no peace for
us now that Johnny is up from his
nap" says Johnny's mother in the
presence of her small son.
Far be 1t from Johnny to disappoint
the expectations of his maternal rela-
tive.
This is only a sample Of the sort of
thing that grown people repeatedly
say in the presence of children. And
it's very great pity. Give the child
at least a fair chance and don't brand
him at the start with bad name.

HOOPS For Children.

The opinion is expressed by men VIII,
have made study of exercises fol
health that it is a pity the skipping
rope and hoop have gone out of fash
ion for children.
1t is suggested they are more excel
lent mediums for the physical devel
opment than bicycles and roller skates
The fact that small children are al
lowed TO have bicycles and conse
quently make no use of natures mean
of progression is offered as an obiec
ton to them.
The, skipping rope and hoop requirt
them 10 run and walk. Young children
should be encouraged to do this a.
much as possible. and always with {
sprincy step. They need to use theil
feet and legs. and exercise that brings
these into play is beneficial.
