in quiet streets from their sleep and
bringing frightened faces to windows
of the houses they passed. With utter
disregard Of city ordinances, the visi.

Care Of Pins,

A good lea after buying paper of
new pins Is to cut one line off at a
time and not to dive into the whole
paper at once. A sewing basket
should have its pincushion we'll sup
piled with pins, and when sewing a
box should be near at hand into which
all the pins can be tossed in a hurry.
A pin tray or small pincushion
SHOULD be on every girls or woman's
bureau, and the pins should be put
into these at night when, perhaps, a
pin or two will have to be taken out
of the stock collar belt. The pins
used in pinning on veil should al.
ways be put back in the yelling after
it has been carefully folded up and
before placing in the hat box or bu.
