PRETTY NOVELTIES THAT
ARE MADE OF SCRAPS

Novelties are the result of an economl-
cal mind, the desire to use up scraps
Of good linen and put the pieces to
serviceable use.
These novelties are not without their
feminine touch. without which any room
is as unwelcome as a hotel. Again, the
service OF novelties is greatly varied.
One needs the articles. The needlecase
can be made of any shade of linen. We
have seen them in very dark brown
linen, embroidered with gold thread, with
loose sheet of channels laid above the
pocket to hold needles. Or all white can
be used. and the little trinket can be
freshened at times by its trip to the
laundry.
Outline the edge in buttonhole, finish
the flowers in satin stitch, and work the
eyelets in the usual manner.
A very pretty affair could be made by
working white linen with pink silk
around the edges and over the embroid-
cry. Line the pocket with pink silk rib
bon and attach a strip of pink flannel,
notched with the scissors, to hold pins
In presenting the made-up case as a
gift to friend fll Il with needles, pins
&C. Roll 1t in the shape of a pocket
book, and attach to II a chain of dress
shield safety pins. They make a neat
finish to the diminutive trihe, which can
be included in the small accessories OF
the layette.

NO ONE CAN MEASURE THE
INFLUENCE OF A TEACHER
The Woman Who Stands Out Beautiful Type o.
Everything Worth While in the Relation Between
Teacher and Child Deserves Tribute.

1t is something to rate well as 4. q
teacher in the professional sense, but
when to that Is added the kindling Of
pure ambitions and the planting Of high
ideals. then a teacher Is not always ap-
preciated at her true worth. She touches
50 many lives, each drawing Al little
from the best that Is IN her, and has so
far to go in order to reach them all and
influence them all. that when she comes
to the pinnacle Of ideal training she has
encompassed rather more in the way of
usefulness than is possible in much OF
the service of the world that is accorded
q higher rating.
Mothers Them All.
It has always seemed that the woman
who has the best potentislities for mother
hood and for service as teacher is one
ito the manner born" IL one may put II
that way It IS so easy and natural to
love ones own that II Is neither con-
spicuous nor especially praiseworthy: but
the woman whose influence is certain to
avail, whose love is sure to register the
best OF all in the type Of child she evolves,
Is the big, noble woman who loves her
own and stiIl cherishes far-reaching af-
fection, understanding. and sympathy for
the outside, and the dearest Of all IN the
home.
And that is why once in a while. or
twice in while. as It happens, there is a
teacher, a mother, or maybe Just one
who mothers all childhood. whose infiu-
ence reaches far and encompasses much
woman gifted with a strongly sympa-
thetic nature, a woman who appreciates
childish needs and Is ready and willing
to render service whether for her own
or the little stranger-child near her gates.
And whenever I read or hear Of q
woman who for. forty years has made
teaching the aim of her life and has
made of 1t not a profession but an ex-
ouisite human art, there is the desire TO
pass along that part of her Hfe-story.
because it typifies many that are being
enacted day by day before our very eyes.

By FRANCES sHAFFER.

In newspaper published in New
Haven, Conn. there was recently q very
beautiful tribute to a public school teach
er. a woman who for nearly forty years.
in unstlnted measure, had given to the
children under her guidance the very
best that was in her. She kept up the
work, symPatheticaIly and with rare IN
fiuence until the last call came-and then
someone told how effective and far-reach-
Ing 1t had been. One wonders II she ever
knew.
And Just because what was written of
her is so applicable to many of the teach
ers who are rounding out long years Of
service right in our midst, 1t particularly
strikes ones fancy and possibly fits in
with ones experience. For who OF US
does not remember a woman who stands
out a beautiful type of everything worth
while in the relation between teacher and
child?
And perhaps we do not always realize
just what an art It is to elevate teaching
above the mere scholastic plane and place
Il In the realm where influence and ideals
are born. For when teachers influence
reaches out TO something higher than the
professional end Of II, II goes so far and
lasts so long that it cannot be measured.
Helps Little Aliens.
It seems that she found her greatest
forte among foreign children and in work
among truant pupils. And there, among
those alien children, with their strange
nnake-ups she became one with them and
worked with the boys and girls, always
with an eye single to the quality of man
hood and womanhood years hence when
moral values would have great meaning
And they tell of her that her sense of
personal responsibility toward her pu-
pills was so keen that when school hours
and school work were over her interest
followed the children from the class
room TO the homes and went on to en-
compass their real work in life as the
years went by.
The school board made its require
ments and set its limits-and she ex-
ceeded them. for II was not what she
must, but what she could do that guided
all her actions. And It was not the child
that appealed the most, but the one
whose need was the greatest that made
her pause for an extra response, what
ever its nature might be.
1t would be sort OF idle to turn ones
attention to a woman in another city
that she had if the mind did not revert
day putting in their work all their power
TO influence as well as to teach boys
and girls who come from homes where
moral values are not given great mean
ing.

POEMS THAT HAVE HELPED
II Mother would Listen.

II Mother Would Listen.
tPublshed at the request Of Mrs Henry wsyns)
II mother would listen to me, dears,
She would freshen that faded gown,
She would sometimes take an hours rest.
And sometimes a trip to town.
And It shouldn't be all for the children,
The fun, and the cheer, and the play:
With the patient droop on the tired
And the Mother has had her day!"
True. mother has had her day, dears.
When you were her babies three,
house
As busy as ever a bee.
When she rocked you all to sleep, dears,
And sent you all to school.
And wore herself out, and did without,
And lived by the Golden Rule.
And so your turn has come. desrs,
Her hair is growing white,
And her eyes are gaining the far away
look
That peers beyond the night.
One Of these days in the morning,
Mother will not be here,
She will fade away into silence,
The mother so true and dear.
Then. what will you do in the daylight,
And what in the cleaning dim;
And father, tired. lonesome. then,
Pray. what will you do for him?
II you want to keep your mother,
You must make here rest to-day:
Must give her a share in the frolic,
And draw her into the play.
And, II mother would listen to me, dears,
She'd buy her a gown Of silk,
With buttons Of royal velvet
And rufies as white as milk
And she'd let you do the trotting.
While she sat still IN her chair;
That mother should have It hard all
through
It strikes me, isn't fair.

LARGE SUPPLY OF TEA
s TOWELS is AN ECONOMY

Few housewives realize that a large
supply OF tea towels used in rotation
viii wear longer than the same number
when two or three are used and the rest
laid aside for these to wear out.
There is a quality OF recovery in vege-
table fibre that in some measure COM
pensates for wear, and laying aside
after use always improves linen and
lengthens its life.
Thus it can be seen that it is really
better economy to invest in, says twelve
towels. These should all be numbered
from l to L and after using and wash
ing, the first three of these should be
laid away and 4. 5, and used.
Thus after each washing the next set
of towels is taken out and used, and in
this way the whole twelve kept in con-
stant rotation.
The Washington herald., 1912-05-01

It is good plan to have four Of the
towels Of a very soft grade Of kitchen
linen giving one OF these out in the
sets Of three.
The coarser towels are used for the
larger dishes and the china in general,
the soft linen being used for the glass
ware and silver, which should have a
nice polish.
Once the maid becomes familiar with
this scheme of rotation in the use Of
kitchen linen she will apply II all
through the house and to the bed linen.
A loop of tape should be sewed TO
the corner Of each towel and insures
the proper hanging of it. This is really
a necessity and the maid will not be
so likely to throw it over the back of
a chair or wear a hole in 1t hanging
the towel on a nail.
