Variety in Sewing.

The old rule of finish on" thing before
yo1, begin another does not always apply
TO household sewing. Plan To have differ
ont kinds on hand at once. one day cut
ont a number of garments and pin writ
ten slips on them 50 no mistakes may
be made about tilrkS and trimmings. An
other day do the machine stitching, and
then finish them by hand at leisure. On
Il rainy AFTERNOON prepare a quantity OF
sewing to be done by hand Tear up old
table cloths into picnic napkins. measure
off busters from cheese cloth, start pieces
of fancy work. and plan TO make pretty
neckuear of scraps of lace and embroid-
err If a neighbor comes in for a social
chat one cannot sew on the machine or
ntIt on intricate trimming that requires
ones whole attention, but can make but
tonholes put in a few stitches on EN-
broi1erv or do a bit of mending Every
spring hem by hand d fine tabecloth and
napkins at odd times. Slip a NAPKIN into
a workbas and hem it when spending an
hour with friend
O,.casionally when one has planned to
work on garment that needs care in
making it happens that YOU feel too tired
or nervous to attempt the task. You need
not lose the time. for there is easy hand
sewing if the work is already prepared.

freely and sleep without that stopped-up
feeling that all catarrh sufferers have.

you will not be constantly blowing your
nose and splitting. and at the same time

Mr.. Macpherson, traditional dancer,

The dances were extremely interesting,
and the harp music played by Miss
Suzanne Yerby, more so, although the
music for the harp and for the voices
was not calculated to show any OF the
capabilities of the performers. The pro-
gramme was entirely inadequate for
strangers. as it gave no idea of what the
songs were, and it was often difficult to
follow just who the singer was. The
house was not as we'll tilled as it should
have been for the worthy cause of the.
poor churches in Washington, but it was
an audience of society people and music
lovers. to whom the folk songs especially
appeal

of repetition, as it was the first time it
has been given in this country. although
it has been a great success abroad.
