Crocheted Mats Prove
Useful for the Table

When one has a polished mahogany
table, care must be taken to protect its
surface both from heat and moisture.
Even when a heavy material is used
under the tableclOth it is hardly suf-
tiCient protection. One can buy asbests 80
easily.
Better than these are mats crochetcd
from maCrami cord. These can be made
either oblOng or round, according to the
shape Of the dish under which it is TO
be used. If only doilies are used on a
bare table, individual mats can be made
to place under these doilies at each
place

Lace SunfloWerS Used
AS Pins for Lingerie Hats

Have you seen the lace sunflowers
and other many-petaled flowers de.
veloped in lace that are now being
used as hatpins? They are new and
not especially costly. and are equally
popular for velvet and lingerie hats.
The girl who likes to make Irish
crochet can easily develop flower de-
signs for these pins and have them
mounted by a jeweler. They should
go in pairs and smaller flowers can
be copied where ones taste is con-
servative.

-HE man who lives next door to me
plays a Viclin. He is no mean
musician, and not infrequently
sends me off into the land of
beautiful dreams when I give myself up
TO listening to the melody he draws
from the sensitive strings of his respon-
sive instrument.
Last night there was a throb in each
note the pulsing of human heart-as
the song came to me, clear and sweet.
1t seemed, somehow to tell the story
of life; life as seen through a rose tint
Every note of melody was a joy of har-
mony, beauty and prayer all together.
One forgot the violin and the musician
and remembered only that life was a
wonderful, perfect gift.
Then. all at once, the bow slipped
and false note was sounded. It ran
like ragged saw a long the nerves,
bringing one roughly from the rosy
clouds down to the earth. In an in
stant the joy, the wonder, and the
beauty were gone out of the violin be-
cause its player had struck a wrong
note.
False Note
Symbolical of Life
Long after the man had stopped play
ing 1 sat thinking of the violin and the
false note that had destroyed the whole
of a beautiful melody. and it seemed
10 me very symbolicaI of life
For there was nothing wrong with
the violin. 1t was the same sound in
Etrument, when the mans bow sippe;i
along its strings undirected, as It had
been when he had drawn from 1t the
perfect melody.
The fault Of the discord lay with the
player, and not with the violin.
And isn't the same thing true of life?
When the song Of life is off the key

WANTS MAIL BOX
RULING OBEYED
Postmaster Receives Circular
From the National
Capitol

Uncle Sam has become peevish
about the indifference of the public
over the establishment OF private mail
boxes, and circular received by the
Postmaster indicates that he intends to
see that this ruling is enforced or dis
continue free delivery in quarters
where the law is ignored. The cir
cular points out that the installation
Of mail boxes on each house would
enable the Postmaster 10 give better
delivery service, since the carriers
could cover the territory in much less
time, II they we're not obliged to wait
for some one to answer their ring.
The private receptacles are q great
convenience 10 the household" says
the circular, "obviating the necessity
OF responding TO the carriers call at
inconvenient minutes and permitting
the safe delivery Of mail In the alb
sence of the members Of the family.
They also prevent the occasional ne
cessity of a carrier proceeding on his
route without delivering his mail, be-
cause of failure to answer his ring
within a reasonable time"
Under the law, Postmaster and his
assistants are not permitted TO act as
agents for the sale Of the boxes
neither are they allowed to make
recommendations but the postmaster
will endeavor to take UP in g. personal
way the installation Of the system
After thorough canvass Of the situa.
