When sewing on hooks and eyes
choose a needle the length of the
distance at which you wish to set
your hooks. Make eyes with double
thread ny taking TWO stitches at the
same place the width Of the hook.
Work the stitch in 'buttonhole" and
then run the needle between the{ OUT
side aud the lining of the maeerial
upon which you are working just the
length of the needle. This is for the
next eye Go on in this order, sewing
the hooks needles length apart aud

Self Possession.

Here's to the man who holds his peace
When the provocation's strong,

When n word would set him wrong.
Who grips his temper firm and fast.
Nor loses his self control
Though he's tempted sore to vent hi

And the silence sears his SOUL
Here's to the man who holds his tongue
When you'd like to make him swear.
Who listens TO all your singing words
With cool. provoking air;
Who keeps his grip on his rising wrath
When his tenper's really bad,
Whose self restraint you can't disturbi
And doesn't he make you mad?
