GIVE TOUCH OF SHARPNESS
Artificial Rose or Orchid, Easily
Made, Adds Much to Appearance
Of an Evening Gown.

Make huge rose Of black velvet II
you need little extra touch of smart
ness for your evening or tea gown.
The rose is formed OF dozen or
eighteen petals, cut in the graduated
sizes pertaining to the natural flower.
eighteen petals, cut in the graduated
foudation easily made Of firmly
twisted chenille. To make the petals
appear crisp, the velvet instead of
being doubled, as is done in making
exotics of thin material, is smoothly
pasted on one side of piece of coarse
black net. The necessary quantity OF
mucilage used will stiffen the joined
materials to the desired firmness and
yet they will be sufficiently flexible to
be easily pressed into proper shape
whenever disarranged.
Easier to shape than the rose is the
orchid This, also made of velvet and
coarse net, has six long and slender
petals with pointed ends tied at their
tips with slender golden threads An
olive, such as is employed in connec-
ton with military loops, is the best
foundation for velvet orchid, and to
one end Of it the wider ends of the
petals may be securely fastened.
This will leave a point protruding
from the heart of the exotic, but one
which may be beautiful concealed UNI
der q catlix group Of seven yellow
silk French knots. The other half
of the olive will be needed as the base
through which to thrust the safety
pins that fasten the flower at the
breast or wherever the corsage bou-
quet is worn.

Great Chinese Teacher Worthy the
High Place In Which He ls Held
by His Race.

Some OF the sayings of Confucius.
which are to the Chinese what the BIZ
be is to US, are:
Not to withdraw after making an
error Is in itself an error.
knowledge is when you know a
thing to hold that you know 1t; and
when you do not know thing to al
low that you do not know it That
IS knowledge.
sincerity is the end and beginning
of things
ITO see the right and not to do 1t is
to be a coward.
-Four of the marks of superior
man are: In the conduct of himself he
is humble; In serving his superiors he
is respectful; In nourlshing the people
he is kind: in ordering the people no
is just
The difference between the great
man and the ordinary man is that the
great man has a fair mind and sees
all sides. and the common man has a
mind which Is partisan and one-sided
AT q funeral 1t is better that there
be deep sorrow than minute atten-
ton to ceremony.

verbena PotpourrI.

Potpourri made with lemon verbena
is preferred by many people to the
rose jar One simple, but very effec-
tive, method of making it is by strip
ping the petals from the flowers and
thoroughly drying them. Then throw
them into a jar, strewing first a hand
full of salt on the bottom Of the jar.
then a handful OF leaves, and SO on
until all are used.
A tablespoonful of alcohol should be
thrown on once week, and the jar
should be tightly closed one with a
double top preferable. Let it stand
until the odor of the chosen flower
comes from it, after which leave the
outer lid off SO that the odor may go
through the. room.

WHEN BUYING WRITING PAPER
Certain Times Of the Year When
Suitable colors and Tones May Be
Acquired In Quantities.

The woman who would get the most
for her money buys her writing paper
In quantity at an annual sale.
The reason for these sales is that
the manufacturers accumulate small
lots of discontinued papers. They are
not cheap qualities or seconds, merely
styles that are not novel.
1t is possible to get four quires Of
paper and 100 envelopes for dollar,
and there Is a choice of different
weight, texture and color Of the paper,
various shades Of blue, gray, lavender,
cream and white, also stripes and bars
in self tones. These come in two
sizes, usually letter and note.
Marking varies according to color.
i've; plain gold, silver or a single
metallic color costs about % cents q
quire; a single plain color, gray, blue,
violet or brown, ten cents a quire,
and enclosing in relief without color,
about five cents quire. These are
tardard prices almost everywhere
he year round, the reduction being
on the price of paper.
In buying paper by the quantity 1t
Is not wise to choose novelties. An
iaconspicuous color and good quality
is always good. Many women adopt
certain tone and kind Of paper and
make it individual Thus, the girl who
loves violet will have pale violet paper
with a deeper tone or silver for the
stamping, while the transparent en-
yelopes are lined with violet tissue
paper Of deeper shade than the en-
yelope.
Gray paper or very pale blue is also
permissible, but it Is bad form to use
garish stationery.

Many Of the smartest little satin and
silk coats are very vague in line. left
unlined, or lined with chiffon. Straight,
shapeless. self-trimmed little garments
though they are. they are Invaluable
for slipping on over dainty frocks.
A little coat of this type may have
the neck and sleeve corners carefully
turned back to show a lining of vivid
chiffon or gaily lowered soft silk. A
coat of a bright color with a scarf
girdle or sash to match is often worn
with a skirt or one piece frock Of
white or neutral tone. and always
looks pretty with the lingerie frock.

Brown wolfe over blue silk was the
material used for the dress shown In
