tension unless it was sure of a fran
chise lasting a sufficient length Of time
to make it worth while.

their owners can deal out to the strik-

this is because the chief testimony yes

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 ia 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 a 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.
Two-colored letters are most expen-
i've; plain gold, silver or a single
metallic color costs about rs cents a
Quire; a single plain color, gray, blue,
violet or brown, ten cents daire,
and enclosing In relief without color,
about five cents quire. These are
tan0ard 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
inconspicuous color and good quality
is always good Many women adopt
a certain tone and kind Of paper and
make it individual. Thus, the girl who
loves violet win have pale violet paper
with a deeper tone or silver for the
stamping, while the transparent en-
velopes are lined with violet tissue
paper Of a deeper shade than the en-
velope.
Gray paper or very pale blue is also
permissible, but it is bad form to use
garish stationery.

The rose is formed Of a 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 win 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

petals may be securely fastened.
