Cut out the floral and basket designs
from madras muslin and tack them on
to a material to harmonize with your
curtains-even unbleached calico. Work
them over with floss and apply
them as borders to the curtains. Bits
of silk or ATTN might be tackled on to
the madras petals instead and button
holed around the edges. The baskets
might have latticework and handles
OF fine straw or raff1a.
Make your curtains with hens of
equal width at top and bottom. After
washing them. hang them upside down,
slipping the rod through what was be-
fore the bottom hem. This equalizes
wear and tear and prolongs their life.
Be careful not to make such curtains of

EVERY HUMAN BEING
NEEDS A CHANGE

There is much truth in the follow
Ing, taken from practical article on
vacations In the Woman's Home Com
panion:
Last summer met. on the street a
girl from Virginia. / knew her well.
The day was almost insufferably hot.
l was worn and city tired: she was
as fresh as a rose. My dear ] said,
how can you look so fresh and de-
lightful on day like this?' And you!
How can you notice the heat she said
wonderingly, when you have the glor-
ious sky-scrapers to look at and the
shop windows with their wonderful
fashions and colors, and the people
the people! and these blessed little low
necked victorias' q (drabbled- looking,
little, low victoria was being driven
past by typical red-faced cabby), and
those delightful high heeled hansoms2'
These things were to her what hills
and valleys and river. and wood and
field would have been to me at that
moment, and the sight of them was
quite as refreshing, fully as invigorat-
ing. They were new. they were differ
ent, they gave the mind change and
recreation.
For after all, It is not necessarily
woods and fields that we need, but
change-that primarily. 1t is not often
our work itself, but the dull .monotony
of work that wears us out; not the
duties Of the day. but the dulling repe-
tition Of those duties; the same thing
over and over and over, until the mind
sickens or grows dull, perhaps, without
knowing why. You are not well: YOU
have lost interest In everything; you
go to doctor and pay him to tell
you-what? That you need a change
] could have told you as much with
out fee. 1t Is what most Of us, ex-
cepting very, very few, need"

IN WOMAN'S WORLD

throngs of rope, or leather which beats
out every bit Of dust. E
If you use a stiff clothes brush on
velvet or plush, be careful lest the dust
merely rises In the room and settles on
the furniture again. A softer brush
Is better for wooden materials, but It.
too. Is apt to merely move the dust
from one spot to the other. The best
method of all Is to use soft, barely
moist cloth, which will wipe OF all the
dust, without stirring it UP and filling
the air with It.
When you want to clean the cornices
with the long handled brush be care
full to wrap a cloth around It, as in this
way you get all the dust, instead of
simply raising 1t, and you yourself will
not have to inhale 1t. $685.
When YOU wishI to sweep the floor,
either with a broom or brush, have a
cloth cover, to put over the broom, and
you will really gather the dust instead
OF scattering 1t. II you want to dust
off table never take a brush to IL.
but use soft cloth and the table will
be clean. and the dust will not be trans
ferred to the other parts Of the room
and to your lungs.
These are not only effective hints as
to cleaning, but most important for the
health Of the person that does the
work.

SAILOR SUITS STILL WORN.
From Harper's Razar

The sailor suit is always charming
style OF dress for small boy, and Is
equally pretty in blue serge for cold
weather, and in linen, duck, crash, OF
pique for summer. A dark blue and
white stripe with a wide collar and
cuffs Of the same shade of blue is a
favorite suit for play, but just at
present there Is preference for tans
and browns. For the street there
should be Jacket Of covert-cloth, UNI
less with the child's coloring dark blue
serge Ia more becoming. A wide collar
OF white, blue, or tan linen will make
the jacket more attractive for the first
spring days

lnterruptions.

From the Charleston News and Courier
1t is net so much the Interruptions
tho mselves that cause us ANNOYANCE as
II is our manner OF accepting them. II
we take them philosophically and do
not allow ourselves to be unnecessarily
excited by them, remembering that
they are but a part Of what we are to
expect ir life. they will not disturb
us greatly and after while will lose
much OF their dread. II may be argued,
however. that what is true in this re-
gard is true also Of many other ques-
ticns which are continually arising for
adjustment. 1t is very easy to say that
II we will only control our feeling and
not allow the petty annoyances Of this
world to worry us the highway to hap
pircss would be thronged where now
IL is merely half-filled. The advice,
however. Is. not so easy to follow. The
calm. dispassionate nature, of course,
purspes an even way throughout life's
vicissitrdes, caring neither too little
nor too :nurh about anything and APP
parently Indifferent to the appeal OF
others. but the warm-hearted, pulsafE
ms. enthusiastic nature which Is alert
to tho calls of the world, often bungles
through fife in serving others. Such
ne lures do not pause always to con-
slider results: they accept what is Of
fered in the spirit then uppermost, and
do not always distinguish between the
necessary and unnecessary responsible
tiles Of life. In just the same way
their natures become influenced by the
claims Of the moment. and their lack
of self-contrcl does not ease the way.
