An OBSOLETE WORD
By Ruth Cameron.

college president who was lecturing
on the type of girl who succeeds and
the type of girls who fails declared that
one of the most common members Of
that latter class is the girl who always
tries to blame anything untoward that
happens to her upon some one else. This
kind of girl, he said, IL she was passing
through q gate and there was nobody
else in sight, and she should tear her
gown. would still think that the accident
was somebody's fault
We all know people like that-people
who regard every unfortunate happen
ing in the home OF outside Of 1t as some
body's fault, and are perfectly frantic
If they cannot find some one to blame
for anything that disturbs or inconve-
niences them.
these folks must Immediately let off
as sometimes happens. the disagreeable
occurrence cannot really be traced to any
one these people become absolutely eX-
plosive with pent-up blame.
For instance, in Office in which
once worked the head man was OF this
type One summer day when all the
windows were open. as MATES of
to be out of the room. One girl was at
dinner, by his permission; another had
gone downstairs with him to take down
an important interview, and the ONCE
boy had been sent on an errand. During
this period quick summer shower came
up and some important papers were in
jured by the rain. 1t was really inS,o--
sible for the man to blame any one for
this unfortunate happening. and we al
most feared that his pent-up irritation
would do him physical injury.
In all too many households. where
some of the family have this desire to
blame some one for everything that
troubles them, the patient mother is the
scapegoat of every accident and every
irritation.
why wasn't the telephone answered
today?' demands the son of the family.
Il tried six times to get the house and
they told me you didn't answer. It's too
bad, mother. / don't see any use in our
having a telephone il you can't answer
it" Whereupon the patient Mrs. Griselda
attempts to palliate her sons irritation by
explaining that it was the maids after
noon out, that her daughter was making
candy in the kitchen, ana that she her
self had gone out on an errand for IA
ther
why can't We ever have dinner ready
on time? raves father. 1.-The meat didn't
| come until late? Why didn't you tell
him what time you wanted it? You
did? l don't believe you made 1t very
plain. You're always telling about some
thing or other being late. / should think
| You could manage to have things de-
| livered when we want Them / pay
enough for them
great many things happen in this
world that are Hobody's fault-some
things just plain happen, and others are
unfortunate accidents or mistakes. 1t is
a relief to have some one to blame when
any OF these things irritates one but q
| relief of which only selfish and unjust
| PEOPLE avail themselves: and in the truly
generous PERSONS dictionary fault is
an entirely obsolete word: the words
mistake or accident have quite taken
| it's place.

Choosing a Hat.

Women cannot complain this season at
the unsuitability Of models for styles are
SO varied that there are shapes enough
to go round and to set of to the best ad-
vantage each individual type Of face.
Some women have way of selecting
their hats rather at random. without suf1i-
GENTLY studying effect. Now it takes time
to choose properly. and it needs a sym
pathetic friend or saleswoman. One has
respect for the woman who is courageous
enough to express an opinion and is not
only an automaton paid to sell for some
despotic manager. A successful milliner
IL an artist; her assistants should be
artists too-clever enough to understand
that their clients are there to be suitably
hated.

and revers Of milanese lace lined with

HOMEMADE CEMENTS
FOR REPAIRING CHINA
By ELIZABETH LEE.

Accidents VIII happen despite the great
est care, and many a broken article of
glass or china has been thrown away
that might have been repaired had the
owner realized 1t could have been done at
home with little trouble or expense.
The prepared cements are very good,
but there are homemade cements which
will be found superior to the bought
kinds.
Small pieces of glass or bric-a-brac
used for ornamentation when broken can
be mended most satisfactorily by paint
ing the edges with carriage varnish put
on with camefs-hair brush, and then
pressing them together.
If possible, broken articles should be
mended at once, while the edges are
clean Should the pieces be put aside
for any length of time. each should be
washed carefully and then thoroughly
dried before being repaired
The very best homemade cement is
made by dissolving Russian isinglass in
pure water. 1t should soak for one
whole day or night. and then be dissolved
by heating.
In the case of an article being broken
into more than two pieces. one must be
mended and allowed to dry before the
next is Joined.
II the best isinglass is bought this
cement will stand any amount of heat,
dry or water. The genuine isinglass will
not be less than 80 cents an ounce but
1t is very light, and only a small quantity
is required. The cement, if made right.
should be perfectly white. A cheap and
very. durable cement is made by burning
oyster shells and pulverizing the lime
from them. This is mixed with the white
of an egg into thick paste and applied
to the broken edges.
When the broken article Is something
not in constant use I have been very
successful in mending with a little flour
mixed with the white of an egg One
must take care not to get too much Of
this paste on the edges, because, il they
do. the paste comes up between the edges.
and this cannot be removed until the
whole thing is dry, and only a sharp knife
will remove this surplus. Consequently
there is danger Of the pieces coming apart
again.
A cement for mending furniture or for
general household use is made from one
and one-half pints of water, of glue three
fourths of pound, one ounce of white
lead and pint Of alcohol These are
the proportions. but one can. of course.
make just what quantity they desire.
Dissolve the glue in the water. Then re-
move from the fire and stir in the white
lead. Add the alcohol last. This keeps
the cement In q fluid state except, per-
haps, in extremely cold weather. When
wanted for use the cement should be
warmed and thoroughly stirred. For white
or light woods use white fishglue instead
Of the ordinary kind. This is dissolved in
water. and then the white lead is added
Next all is brought to q boil until thor
