One KIND OF BEGGING.
By Ruth Cameron.

The similarity of asking for money and
asking for the use OF time and talents
which are worth money to their pos
SCISSORS is something of which many peo-
pie do not seem to be cognizant.
Mrs. l.. is the fortunate possessor OF a
very sweet and well trained voice. Before
her marriage she was trained in the Use
of this talent rather than in the household
arts Consequently she is glad that, al
though she is no; very economical
household manager. she is able to help
out her husbands rather slender income
by singing Although she is extremely
busy in her home. she finds time TO hold
name in an agency which occa sionally
brings her chances to sing at some enter
;ainment. For this work she gets from
five to ten dollars night
Now Mrs LIS friends, who know that
the family finances are none too flourish
ing would never think of asking her &c
give five or ten dollars to some pet prof.
ect. and yet they are perpetually asking
her to sing for them. gratis, on this or
that occasion. And what else does that
mean than asking her to give five or ten
dollars worth OF time and talent?
Why is it. / wonder. that artistic tai
ents that is. the ability TO sing, or play
tain in any other way. are thus regarded
by peoples trends as pubic property :.
We would never think OF asking the
clever dressmaker TO give several dollars
worth of time toward making gown TO
be sold at the fair Tor the benefit OF the
something of something. And yet Mrs. l..
sang twice at that fair. and two other
artists who are dependent for their bread
and butter on their talents were held up
by friends to give their services.
But" you say, Just think what a
very few minutes it takes Mrs: L. and
those others 10 sing or play. That isn't
asking very much. is it?'
All, my friend. you forget something.
Mrs. L. and the other artists did not give
merely the ten or fifteen minutes of time
and the modicum of effort which were
represented by the actual performance.
They gave also the hours of preparation
required by even the most skillfui per-
formers to prepare an entertainment, and.
Furthermore. they were giving due share
and proportion Of the Lifeline investment

Of effort and tine and money which they
had PUT into ting their talents
To be sure, there are some artists who
like nothing better than the opportunity
to appear in public. vino ask no other
remuneration than a goodly need of fiat

there are even some who would be glad
to pay for this pleasure II that were
allowable.
But that is another story. Mrs. l.. does
not belong to this class. Many OF the
artists who are continually bounded by
thoughtless friends do not belong TO IT.
So be a little less glib in your assur-
ances TO the committee that you are sure
you can get Mr.. \. to read. or Mrs Il. TO
sing. Miss {. to play the violin. at the
entertainment Perhaps YOU can hold
them up at the pistol point of your i'm
portunity. But do you want to do it?

Transparent Fabrics.

The main feature Of a large number OF
the best gowns Is that a proportion of
transparent material is used in them as
draperies veilings. with the remainder.
or perhaps with a foundation. of a silken
fabric. To this general idea is added a
more or ess discreet employment Of beau
tiful passementeries. Some of the most
attractive dresses have the wildly bright
colors Of the gold and silver glitter OF the
yelled beneath the TRANSPARENT
fabric: this is effective. for the trimmings
In such case are bright enough to gleam
through the thin fabric thrown across
them.

SAY, FELLERS, WANTA MAKE A REAL BIG LEAGUE
BASEBALL THE KIND TY COB SWATS? HERE'S
EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT-CHEAP-AT HOME

Any boy can make a regulation
league ball II he will follow a few
simple instructions. Any old piece
OF cork will do. cut into the shape
OF ball three-quarters OF an inch
in diameter. Then IL should be
wound with strips of rubber. An old
overshoe or hot water bag or an inner
tube of bicycle or automobile tire
will do. An ounce OF the rubber
should be used. the strips cut narrow
and wound fairly tight.
The yarn is then wound around the
rubber. Turn the ball around in.
stead of wrapping the yarn around IT,.
The winding should be done tightly
and should be continued until the ball
measures 7A inches In circumfer-
ence. Then wind around the cotton
cord until half an inch more Is added
TO the circumference and finish with
yarn until a circumference of about
s 1916 inches is reached.
Now you are ready TO cut the horse
hide cover. A simple way to do this is
to draw straight line IA inches loLg
on a piece OF paper. Divide the line

six equal parts. Through the center
of the long line draw a short line one
inch long, half an inch on either side
of the long line. On the next division
point draw a line Is inches long on
the next a line q inches long; then
on the next line 2 1-S inches long,
on the fourth dividing point line "a
inches long and on the last another
line Is inches long.
Now connect the outside ends OF all
OF these lines with a gentle curved
! line, that at the very end should be
an arc of about 40 degrees and the
whole drawing will be approximately
one-half OF one OF the two parts OF
the cover, as shown in the sketch.
The section should be folded exact
iy across the middle. along the one
inch line and thus the two halves OF
