TWO D0RE SKETCHES.
One That Was Stolen and Another
That Was Confiscated,

While Gustave Dore was at Ischl
and wandering about the mountains he
became much interested in country
wedding and sketched 1t on the spot.
He put the sketch in book in the
pocket of his paietot and went back
to the hotel to dinner. After dinner
he looked for the sketch. 1t was gone
Angry at the theft. the artist called
the landlord and made complaint. but
no trace Of the book was found. From
1schl Dore went to Vienna. and there
he found letter and a parcel await
ing him. The letter. which was anony-
nous, read thus:
Sir. l stole your book at Ischl. tins
sketch was so charming that could not
resist the temptation of having it In my
possession. and knew very well that you
would never consent to sell to me. But
theft is neither my trade nor my habit.
and ! beg you to accept as souvenir
Of my crime and my enthusiasm for your
talent the walking stick which will reach
you at the same time as this letter.
The cane was massive one with
gold head in which was set a gem of
value.
On another occasion the artist lost
his passport while on tour in Swift
xerland. At Lucerne he asked to be al
lowed to speak to the mayor, to whom
he gave his name.
You say that you are NJ. Gustave
Dore, and I believe yo'I." said the
mayor but and he produced piece
Of paper and pencil, you can easily
prove it."
Dore looked around him and saw
some peasants selling potatoes in the
street. With few clever touches he
reproduced the homey scene and, ap-
pending his name to the sketch, gave
1t to the mayor.
'Your passport is all right remark
ell the official, but you must allow me
to keep 1t and to offer you in return
one of the ordinary form. New York

HOW TO RENEW CARPETS.
A Simple Process to Freshsn ans
Briottsn Patterns.

0VI9Ut0U SAeV'~s
Many a good carpet becomes shabby
and worn looking without being actu-
ally old The 6gures lose their bright
ness and the grain is rough ana uh'
kempt looking. Here is simple proc
ess by which the carpet or rug Will
once more look presentabie ana rs
good as new:
Cut an ounce of yellow soap into
small squares and with them make
lather with pint OF clear boiling wa
ter. Add to this lather quart or not
water to which has been added an
ounce of borax. Place the mixture on
the stove aud bring the entire prepara'
ton to boil. Remove it. set it to cool.
and when quite cold add an ounce each
Of alcohol and ammonia and half an
ounce Of plycerin. Wipe over only n
small portion of the carpet at time
and rub vigorously with clean fan
mel dipped into the mixture until final
ly all the spots are removed ana the
color revived The result will be sur
prising, for the change and improve
ment are remarkable.
Another good method is to shave half
pound of soap and boil it in Il quart
of water until dissolved. then add a
gallon of hot water and an ounce of
salts of tartar Mix thoroughly. Use
a stiff brush and scrub the carpet with
the mixture. which should lather free
ly and clean the carpet without max.
ing 1t very damp AS you clean a
breadth wipe it hard with cloth
wrung out Of cold water. If there is
much green in the carpet put cup Of
vinegar in the cold water. This guam.
tity will clean a large carpet. and the
process is approved by those OF long
experience.
housekeeper who has tried the fol-
lowing method says this fluid is SIC
cess for cleaning Il carpet Put cake
OF white soap. two Tablespoonful each
of ammonia. borax and sal soda into
q saucepan Boil it until it is diSsolv-
ed. then add soft water enough to
make three gallons and let it come to
boil. and then set aside to cool.
When cold apply to the carpet with Il
stiff brush. rinse the carpet with a
cloth wet in cold water and wrung out
partially dry.
Before washing rugs lay them out
straight and brush with a stiff. dry
scrubbing brush. You will be surpris-
ed mt the amount of dirt to come out in
this way. which is much better than
shaking or beating them.

HOW TO AMUSE CHILDREN.
Many Tasks Mothers Can Give Little

Many Tasks Mothers Can Give Little
Ones to Do.
There is a great deal in the way of
keeping peace in the family generally
and in the nursery particularly, in let
ting children help.
A child is naturally busy. Watch the
little one just beginning to discover
that he has fingers and toes that wig
gle and see how busy he keeps them
Watch the creeping little one that
makes his unnoticed way to cherish.

spools. pincushions and all the useful
articles fly as he throws them as far
as his chubby arms cannot, as many
think. from purely mischlevous spir
It, but simply because he wants to be
busy.
Supply child with something. any.
thing it can do. and it will be happy.
Set it down with an injunction to ''sit
still and behave" and watch the wrig-
Cling little figure and hopeless coun.
tenance. There can be nothing more
barbarous than to insist upon absolute
quiet from Il baby.
And there are so many small things
a mother can give her little ones to
81. They can lift chair and place it
on the other side of the room; they
can carry small rug out on the
porch, make believe to shake it and.
If provided with a tiny broom. make
still more earnest belief to sweep it.
How happy and self satisfied is the
small girl that is helping mother!'
Unless one has thought out the mat
ter it is more than amazing how very
quick little child Is to learn. Here.
truly. we may almost believe in the
descent from Simian ancestry-that Is.
If we have ever watched monkey
initiate the actions of people. l once
was the proud mistress Of a darling
little Jocko. who. when detected in
one of his thousands of impish tricks.
would place one tiny paw upon his
head and another on his little tummy
and moan in approved style. If asked

ne would look as II at the edge OF the
grave. II forgiven and told so in
words and by tone Of voice the little
rascal would scamrer in high glee all
about. showing plainly that there was
nothing on earth the matter.
Now. really baby is very much
like monkey. Keep 1t busy and keep
It ont of mischief. Let it find things
to do itself, and it will be sure to
find something that will create havoc
Give ball or cord. True. there will
be snarls. and the cord may he lost
for all good forever and a day; but
oh. the pleasure and delight it has
given that baby! Keep the little ones
busy if they are to he happy. and do
not. I beg. try to make them sit still
1t Is impossible.

F0ULARD silks Are
TO Be MUCH WORN
Oashing Designs Favored and
Bordered Patterns Popular.

1t Is to be foulard year. To begin
with, there are enchanting borders.
They are from two to five inches wide
are in Paisley and Persian patterns,
with their coorful palm leaves and
ara besques and triangles.
The borders are used to hem the
skirt, to edge the tunic, to outline the
surpice and to finish the three quarter
sleeve. They give character to an
otherwise negative fabric, for strange
to say, no one seems to have been
able to invent a pattern for foulard
that has any character to 1t. The
polka dot design is the possible eXcep
ton.
1t has always been slight modifica
ton of sprigs and vines. of tendrilS
and leaves, and the manufacturers
have seemed content, though the out
siders never knew why. The immense
leap forward in clever designing and
marvellous dyeng has taken along
with it the fouIards and ginghams
ard muslins Therefore. the new de
signs of the spring Of 1912 are worth
looking at
The surface Of the foulard, to begin
with. is satinized to a high luster and
silky finish This in itself is accepta
BILE. because many were afraid that
the influx of rough fabrics ana tWil!nd
stuffs, to say nothing of tho raveied
and knotted materials like agaric cloth
and ratine. would influence foulards in
such a way that they would be made
up without luster. Fortunately this is
not the case
In addition to this. the designs are
| not so insignificant as formerly. They
have more dash and splash to put them
in keeping with the accepted boldness
Of the day, which dominates all fab
RIGS. The border. with it's Persian col
Oring, which Is not crude, but very
modern, is another strong feature in
favor Of foulards. and for these rea
sons It is possible that the fabric will
hot only be greeted with cordial ap-
prevail by the few. but be accepted by
the many.
