SEWING AND MENDING HINTS.

Put marrow wristbands on the sleeves of blouse, if turnback lace cuffs are to be worn. and make an opening two inches deep in the sleeves where the wristbands meet, so that, when necessary, they can be unbut- toned and turned back with compar- alive east.
 To Avoid Skirts Sagging-Un1ess a skirt is allowed to drop before the bottom is hemmed, especially skirt cut on the cross, it will sag at the sides after it has been worn a short while. To obviate this, fold the skirt together at the waist, after the seams are stitched and the waistband put on and hang up for day or two to drop" The stretching can be hast ened by hanging small weight on to the center of each side-piece.
 Fringe-Making Made Easy-Fringe- making is often made tedious by pull ing out long threads, breaking them and having to find the ends with a pin or needle. A better and easier way is to cut up the thread as deep as the fringe is required, and then sort out the pieces one by one.
 To Mend a Prayed Tablecloth-Tack side of the cloth, keeping the threads as nearly as possible in their correct position. Place that part in an em- broidery hoop and darn over and un- der the frayed threads. also an inch or two on either side of the cloth. If possible, use thread taken from a piece of leftover new table lined. Af- ter washing, the mended place will hardly be nOticeable.-BOstOn Globe.

WHO WROTE "CAsEY"?
 HERE'S THE ANSWER

.orhe outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day"-what base ball fan has not read that line, the first of that immortal poetical pro duction entitled "Casey at the Bat! But how many fans know who wrote it? Not many, dessay. The truth is that Casey at at the Bat" drss greeted the eyes of the reading pub- lie twenty-four years ago today. Tn a San Francisco paper, and that Casey" was the creation of Ernest T.. Thayer. then residing In Worcester. Mass: The verses were widely copied and leaped into immediate popularity, and Mr. Thayer's claim to the authorship was long violently disputed.s George Whitefield D'Vys, Joseph Quinlin Murphy and Will Valentine are among the dozen or two persons to whom Casey. has been attributed. vaien- tines claim was made by friends af- ter his death in 1897. He was a brilliant young Irish newspaper man, and was city editor of the Kansas City Star for a time, and later on the staffs of the Sioux City Tribune and the New York World. D'yys alleged that he wrote eight of the thirteen the evidence, however, results in a verdict favorable to Thayer, and he is entitled to the credit.
 The first publication of the poem in the San Francisco paper was over the initials ''E. L. T." and it is a matter of record that the contributor was MT. Thayer. Other claimants have been unable to produce a copy of any publication containing Casey" dated prior to June 4. 1888. MT. ,Thayer graduated from Harvard and it was while he was a. student at the Cam bridge institution that he discovered 'sMudville," a soggy ball field not far from {Samhrfdge where exciting con tests were often played. The author of Casey was a member of the same class at Harvard az William Hearst and was employed on the Hearst newspapers, but later abandoned Journalism for more prof itable commercial activities. While Casey was widely copied and read. much of it's fame was due to De Wolf Hopper, who recited the verses at his performances all over America

"BAD'' KIDS CEIiEBRATE TO-DAY
 sDADDY' GEORGES BIRTHDAY

Fra Elbertus, or somebody, says that grape fruit is a lemon that has had a chance Presumably, then, a lime is 8 lemon that hasn't had 8 chance. There are a lot of human Times in this world, but they are gradually becoming fewer, thanks to the activities of such men as William Reuben George, the founder of the Junior Republic. Today the once bad kids who have been transformed into good kids will celebrate the forty sixth anniversary of the birth of their benefactor.
 Mr.\ George was born at West Dry den, N Y., on June 4, 1866. and at the age of fourteen his family moved to New York city. He sidestepped col lege and went into business, and when still a youngster had made a name for himself in the commercial world. He was hardly more than. a boy himself when he became inter ested in plans and projects for im- proving the lot of the children of the

DECORATIVE DARNING.

In its many and varied applications darning covers a wide field, and of- fers abundant scope to the highly i'm aginative as we'll as those who can only follow in the beaten tracks. The rapidity with which this primitive form of needlework can be done, the many uses to which it can be put, and the simplicity which characterfzes al- most all forms of alarming, make it one of the most popular of the reviv- ed needlecrafts.
 One of the newest and least known ways. of utilizing this darning stitch is the making of Pictorial Darning. It's name suggests that it is a decora- tive treatment, in which bold masses rather than intricate detail are made use of. The effect when finished is like tapestry or Swedish weaving. A design can be adapted from good poster frieze purchased by the yard from a wallpaper store. There are some specially good designs among the imported friezes of trees, noun tains or water, that. lend themselves admirably to Picture Darning. Bold decorative work of this character can only be used for a limited number of purposes. A piano backswith a frieze across the top of the back drapery looks we'll, or portiere of somes dark shade could have a frfeze border work in frieze form to the upper portion of the. hanging. A panel above a mantel is perhaps the most success full method of introducing we'll plan ned designs and beautifully worked Pictorial Darning. It seems partic- ularly appropriate when placed in a room furnished with mission furni- ture.
 The best material to use for this purpose if it can be obtained, is the tinted huckabuck, sold at needlework stores for mems vests that are to be ornamented by darning.-New Orleans Picayune.
