iope OF patching the break in tho

Last night the water was rushing

small towns were inundated.
Reports from other places show
that the gauge readings are steadily
going upward.
Eaton Rouge has been made the

II is estimated that 5000 home

HOW TO CARE FOR
YOUR SHOES

1t is a good idea to have all shoes,
high or low, that are to be worn at
times when they may get wet treated
with preparation that comes to make
them water proof, and also oiled occa-
sionally to keep the leather soft. The
soles Of all shoes except dancing Slip
pers should have this water proofnC an
piled. for it will keep dampness from
penetrating on days when pavements or
roads are not wet enough to make rub
bers a necessity.
For colored shoes-white, brown. and
black-a separate set of brushes should
be kept as well as a separate lot of
cloths for wiping and the final polish,
with a rubber application device a vel
vet covered buffer, and a hair brush can
be bought in small, compact box which
is not expensive and does not take up
much room.
Before being put away shoes should be
brushed free of dust, and. of course,
they should be kept where they will not
get dusty again. At ones home a shelf
with glass doors TO slide or swing Is the
solution Of this problem.

Just one suggestion as to something
TO make for Christmas. II Work Is
easy to do and the results produced are
so very artistic that it's well worth the
doing. l mean the
Crepe Paper Rope Work.
Have YOU seen any Of it? Really. you'll
hardly believe how handsome it : unless
you go and look at il. Many OF those
gorgeous baskets and jardinieres and
vases that wee seen in the nm" horlstS
shops, thinking them to be Of japanese
wicker, and almost beyond the dreams OF
avariCe as to price. were really made OF
this crepe paper rope. You can readily
duplicate these things yourself at very
small cost. and just think what perfectly
beautiful Christmas gifts they would
make. Here's another thing The work
is so easily done that you can teach the
children to do II. They often try. in their
childish way to make some Of the little
gifts they give so why not let them make
something that's really worth while? I'll
tell YOU who else could help you with
this-that's the men Of the house. They
| ka to do it. and being naturally ingeni-
Gus and ''handr." they'll think OF dozen
artistic ways OF applying this work where
we poor mortals may only think Of one.
First as TO the
Rope.
You can buy it already made II hanks
3S feet long for +. q, or ~ cents
hank. according TO thickness. or YOU can
make II yourself. It's easy TO make and
it's very much cheaper. You can make
IS feet OF rope from - cents worth OF the
rope crepe paper. The same amount al
ready made costs s. cents.
To make the rope take strip of rope
l. lou
as the roll Tie 1t to one spoke of the
top wheel OF the sewing machine. Stand
OF at a distance. holding the free end
of the strip and stretching il slightly
so that the edges will be folded in; then
have some one operate the treadle OF
the machine. turning the wheel hack
Hold the free end until it is twisted
into a tight strand, fasten 1t down some
where where II won't untwist, and then
make another strand the same way.
Next. tie both strands to the one spoke
OF your sewing machine wheel and turn
the wheel toward you this time, and
the strands will unite into a nice long
even piece OF rope. The dark brown,
light brown or leaf green are the pret-
test coIors to use.
Forms are made of lightweight mat
board. Many people prefer to make
their own patterns, and find them very
easy to do.
