Reversals.


There's a time when the unGerdog Is
given a chance in the fight.
"A time when the right is wrong and
the wrong is right,
A time when the criminal wears for his
stripes the hero's clothes,
And the stain of his name OF crime is
a shadow under the rose;
Evening UP things thus life measures
each life it's part.
TILL each one feels he is getting his,
and is glad TO the roots OF his
heart
There is much In the point OF view and
much in the kind of light
When the glasses are turned on wrong
and the judgment is turned on
right.
For the wrong for while don't hurt in
the ultimate ruck of things
If 1t helps us to get back right when
the dial at its apex swings.
And broadening over our day the sun
of the peoples will
AT last finds darkness out and we elm 6
to the right thing still
It is drawing the line too tight when
either Of us shall say
That this is wrong. that right; when so
much in US all holds sway
To tumble US into wrong who have
measured the other mans right
BY our own particular rule and our
own particular light;
For this that we pass to the dark may
in truth belong TO the day,
And this we class with the wrong may
be right in his own lights way.
To the old Mosaic law that wrong Is
wrong, times rise
With the touch Of a broader truth and
the terms of com promise:
For even tho right is right. reversals
are bound to come.
When the wrong no longer wrong. and
Its lips no longer dumb.
Shall stand IN the fun flushed day with
the glory of utter light,
To prove by IT'S risen hour that the
wrong - sometimes right.

KEEPING Wells IN CONDITION
Care Bestowed on This important Arti-
Gle of Apparel Is Worth While
Financially.

The ready made lace veil will cost
from two dollars and half to four
teen dollars, and every becoming mesh
sold by the yard is dear in proportion.
So 1t behooves the wearer of wells to
study how they can be kept in good
condition. The fshnet webs do not
need to be hemmed at the ends, as
after the veil is tied on these are
tucked under the knot But such wells
should be pulled out when they are
taken off and rolled up from one end
before they are put away. Old cur
tain rollers, sawed up into pieces the
width of the veil, are often used for
keeping the crushable nets tidy. The
first end Of the veil is stretched tight
over the stick and the rest rolled snug
ly over 1t, with every wrinkle smooth
ed out. For the lace wells. piece of

be either back-stitched in position
or carried along in the old fashioned
chain stitch.
Before each eyelet is punched with
the stiletto, its line Of stamping should
be run with little even stitches. These
help to strengthen the eyelet, regulate
its size, and retain its shape. In
very small eyelets this may be omit
ted, II preferred, unless the material
is given to splitting when the stiletto
Is used. Then the outlining must not
be neglected. English eyelets are
never buttonholed, but are done in
little, close over-and-over stitches,
each set into the line of stamping
These may be done with very fine en-
broidery thread and drawn up into
small, close cord like finish. or coars-
er thread may be used and drawn up
less closely, SO as to form a heavy
outline.
In working long eyelets, the run
ming Of the outline must never be omit
ted. After this thread has been put
in the eyelet must be cut with the
the long hole necessary. When the
eyelet is small, a straight cut through
its center, but not reaching to the end
of the eyelet, is all that is necessary.
In the larger eyelets, a second cut
through the middle and at right an
giles to the first is necessary. This
surplus linen is then included in the
over and over stitches which COM
plete the eyelet. After all the design
has been completed, the border is
worked over a chain stitched padding
of the darning cotton, and the surplus
linen cut away close to the button
holed edge. The work is then turned
wrong side up, and narrow button
holed edge worked over the first edge.
This second row Of stitches Is not set
close together, and does not show
from the right side, but is a great pro
lection to the edge apd prevents all
fraying.

TvYELET and Solid Embroidery

these two embroideries ii Is always
well to do the eyelet first This is,

Will serve as the necessary padding.
Across this. the embroidery Is done In
close, even stitches, placed either d.
rectly across the leaf or in slightly
slanting direction. Stitches placed
at too great a slant make quick work,
but the result is not so good
II 1t is preferred to fill this part
of the design with Wallachian embroi-
derry no padding whatever is required,
and the stitch used is the plain button
hole, or blanket stitch begun at the
stem end of each leaf and worked
from left to right, each buttonhole
stitch reaching from the midrib or
vein of the leaf to It's outer edge and
lying at right angles to it, When the
tonhole stitches radiate from this point
until the end of the leaf has been turn
ed. The parallel stitches of the other
half are then worked. When all the
flowers and leaves have been COM
pleted, the parallel lines making the
heart shaped spaces are worked.
These are not outlined. but after

their length embroidery stitches are
laid over and over this padding at
