OURSELVES As THE
CYNIC SEES Us.

To know that you must do a thing
is reason enough for not liking to do.
it.
A summer widower is a person who
pretends that he enjoys going home to
a dusty fat where there isn't any one
looking for him.
It is a woman with a great lack OF
imagination who cannot find something
in her husband about which to pretend
she is proud.
Next to having a nice lot OF money
left to you, to be popular is a state to-
be desired.
A Irritation is listening to a lot OF
pretty speeches that you don't believe
and replying with some that you don't
mean.
A man can feel that he is being awful
ly straightforward when he acknowl-
edges that he possibly drank more than
was good for him when he knows that he
has been intoxicated.
One way to win favor is to discover,
what faults people think are real cute
to have and accuse them Of possessing
them.
Judging by the way they behave, en-
gagged people are always more in love
with one another than married couples.

Supplied with paper and paste, you
have the materials for making unique
and artistic shades for candles, lamps,
and electric bulbs.
These shades resemble in effect the
wrought iron and opal glass shades, but
have the advantage of being light of
weight and therefore can be used for
candles and lamps while heavy glass ones
cannot. To make these shades is far
from difficult-a little patience and a
sharp pointed knife, and one will find
much pleasure in the process.
On a piece of heavy water color paper
draw a pattern for one side. The figure
should measure about four inches long,
two and three-quarter inches across the
top, and four and three-eighths inches
across the bottom. On -One side allow
one-eighth inch more for a lap.
In planning the pattern it is necessary
to allow one-eighth inch around each part
OF the design so that the lines will hold
together firmly and we'll Then with a
sharp knife cut out the pattern. Now,
using this as a guide, with a sharp-point-
ed pencil trace around the separate parts
and cut out like the first.
When ready to crease the lap, cut the
surface of the paper with the knife,
using a rule or straight edge as a guide.
This enables one to turn the lap smooth
ly and sharply.
For the top take a square of paper
with the edges the same length as the
top edge OF the sides and allow one
eighth inch outside for lap. Cut cir
cular hole in the center to fit the candle
holder. fitting 1t firmly on it. Where
the laps should turn, cut through the
right surface of the paper and turn, as
one the sides.
Sides BIackened with Ink.
Blacken the skeleton sides and tops
with India ink, working It well over the
cut edges so that when lined there will
be no white lines showing.
Next. with colored tissue paper line the
parts of the design. Here one will have
to use her own judgment as to how
many holes can be covered with one
piece
By laying the skeleton on the tissue
paper and tracing around It when one
color is used, one can get an approx
mate pattern for cutting the lining.
When several holes side by side are to
be Of the same color, one piece OF paper
will answer the purpose. Put the paste
on the back of the skeleton. lay the
tissue paper on It, and II the paper
overreaches the border it should be
trimmed with a small pair of scissors.
II lining is cut to fit any part, 1t is
a help to use it as a pattern to cut the
lining for the other sides, before placing
1t in place. If one wishes, the designs may
sometimes be made even more effective
when lighted, by using two thicknesses
Of lining on some parts. This gives a

FRENCH KNOTS.

French knots are quite taking the place
OF. the fashionable beading. The latest
thing is to buy a voile or marquisette
blouse pattern marked for beading and to
make a French knot instead at each place
for bead The effect is soft and ex-
tremely pleasing.
Most of us know how to make French
knots, but instructions to the others may
not come amiss. Briefly, they are as
follows:
To make a French knot, draw the
needle through the upper side Of the
fabric. Hold it in the right hand and
with the left hand take hold OF the silk
at a point near the fabric and twist 1t
two or three times around the needle.
Then put the point Of the needle through
the fabric again, very close to the poiut
at which you brought 1t up; draw the
twisted silk closely around 1t and push
the needle through. Hold the twist tight
against the goods with your left hand
while you draw the length Of silk through
so as to keep 1t from uncoiling. When the
silk has been drawn quite through, 1t
holds the knot.

How to Hang a Skirt.

Home dressmakers sometimes expert
ence great difficulty in fitting skirt on
themselves SO that it win hang properly
when finished. Here is an ingenious
method which the woman who thought
of 1t says is infallible.
Slip on the skirt you are making, and
over 1t another skirt which hangs very
wen. Stand on chair and have some
one (even child can do this) put pins in
the new skirt at the exact bottom Of the
old one. When you have pins all around
the bottom turn up the hem at the row
of pins. Your skirt win thus hang per-
fectiy without wasting your time or
labor.

FIRST WIFE FIGHTING

PORT HURON, Mich, April 17.--An
appeal has been made to the circuit
court from the decision of the commits
sioners on claims In the matter OF the
claim OF Elizabeth Starmount against
the estate of VIM. d. Starmount. The
case presents many peculiar complica-

II is alleged that VIM. ID. Starmount

mount, and that he left her and with

ond woman, who was known as Mary
Starmount. When Starmount died he
carried an insurance policy with the
