Wedding Cake Boxes.

wedding cake box should, of course,
always be simple. White is the only color
permissible on it. unless small bunch of
flowers. with green stems-the flowers
must be Whites used as decoration
If you would make these boxes, buy
small boxes of the desired shape and size,
and then buy paper to cover them with.
White crinkled paper can be used. II
it is used. 1t must be pasted carefully.
Sometimes the paste marks show. A
good way to put the paper in the cover,
which is the only part that shows when
the box is closed, is to paste 1t only on
the under side. Cut two strips of paper
one the width of the box, another the
length. both running with the grain OF
the paper.
Paste the end of one strip to the under
part of one end of the cover draw it out
over the end, the top and the other end
of the cover, and then cut it off. allowing
an inch of paper to paste on the under
part of the other end of the cover. Fasten
the crosswise piece in the same way
Make tiny white paper flowers, and
fasten a little bunch Of them to the cover
with a small bow of baby white satin
ribbon.
These boxes are dainty and can be
made at little cost The cake which is
put in them should be daintily wrapped in
waxed paper.

Don't Stroke S, !l, Your Friends.

MYRTLE REED. the writer, once said
4vA with pitifully few exceptions l

women seem to be a nation of strokers."
1t is true that we are nation of strok-
ers. You doubtless know enough women
who stroke their friends to make you
sympathize with Myrtle Reed. There is
the woman who taps you on the chest to
emphasize the points of her discourse.
There is the woman who nudges you 10

jokes, or an odd piece of headgear. There
Is the woman who pats your clothes af-
fectionately as she talks to you. There
is the woman who absently strokes the
coat sleeves of the men she talks to.
1t is really in bad form to handle an
other woman when you talk to her-tO
on her waist or the arrangement of the
trimmings. or to put back stray locks of
hair as some women do. If you cannot
hold another's attention without stroking
and patting-literally holding your vic

with your conversational method of at

Remember. there are lots Of women who

Beautifying the Radiator.

I n small rooms and apartments, where
space counts for SO much. the radiator
often interferes seriously with the fur
nishing of room. Ii is sometimes
placed between two windows, interfering
with plants in that vicinity, or else 1T
spols a corner that could> otherwise be
converted into a place Of beauty and
usefulness. The question is how to
utilize to good advantage the space which
the radiator occupies. One good way Is
to place set of shelves above the radia-
tor.
The bottom shelf should be wider than
the others, projecting out In front few
inches, and heavily reinforced with as
bestos to protect the upper contents from
the heat. Upon the lower shelf may be
placed ornaments. etc, and the upper
shelves may contain books. a brass rod
should be fastened. along the edge OF the
lower shelf and on this curtain Of
thin SILK may be hung from small brass
rings, which make it possible to slip the
curtain aside when necessary. The thin
silk Goes not keep in the heat. but It
does screen the radiator. Grouped
around with chairs and a rug or other
arrangement to suit the taste. 1t may be
made a charming spot for solitude or
friendly chat in winter and no less IN
viting in summer. When the pipos are
cold, great fern could replace tina cur
tain in front.

of neutral backgrounds. They take us
away from the crowded, colorful interiors

Of the Turkish corners-and which will

New Use of Bead Chains.

~ HERE seems to be tendency to make
! jewelry and other ornaments a part
of the costume today. 1t is no longer
usual to see a woman laden with jewels of
half dozen different kinds, none of which
harmonizes or contrasts pleasngly with
her dress. The hair lis not crowded with
jeweled pins and combs and ornaments OF
other sorts Necklaces are worn with
due regard to their color and the color OF
the dress with which they are worn.
Probably this desire to make jcwelry a
part of the color scheme of the dress ac-
counts. to some extent. for the fact that
cheap beads. if only they be of the right
color. may be worn. OF course. these.
like beads of gold o. amber or chains OF
sapphires or emeraids, must DE worn with
discretion.
some interesting new chains OF beads
are shown now, made to wear with eel

on a string about thirty inches long, and
where the two ends are fastened together
long silk tassel Is attached. when the
chain Ia put about the neck. the tassei

A NY one can make good coffee: yet
~ few persons do make good coffee.
Percolators and drip coffee pots
have done much to raise the standard of
coffee daily drunk throughout the land.
But when the grounds are left in perco-
lator strainer from one meal to the next
AS they sometimes are in some houses
and when the coffee is left in the per-
colator base-as it sometimes Island when
the percolator is not kept clean and dry
and occasionally exposed to sun and air
-percolator coffee sinks almost to the
low level of poor coffee, made in the old
fashioned way.
No way ever can surpasS the old-faSh-
ioned way when it is done properly. But
to make coffee in any way there must be
three things-fresh coffee, freshly boiling
water and clean utensils An old and
musty coffee pot. coffee that has been
ground and exposed to the air for week
or so, and water that has been simmering

bad coffee.

so much as it's freshness that counts. To

BILE quality for dollar or so.
If you have no grinder you can prepare

ITO get ready for festival or bazaar

such an affair before the holidays. for
many persons will purchase their Christ
mas gifts in this way if the wares offered
are attractive.
A pretty idea is a flower garden. which
is much more attractive than the old

months of the year. with colorS the same
as birthstones, and decorations of tissue
paper or of such other materials as one
might desire For the summer months

BILE. Mattresses should dress according to
the months The sale of birthday postal
cards, in sealed envelopes would be in
teresting and highly profitable.
A successful bazaar may be conducted
in a clever manner by making surprise
dolls of paper. The dolls are made by
filing small paper bags with candy, pop
corn, nuts and cheap toys packed in ex-
celsior. These bags are covered with It's
sue paper dresses. and the heads are
formed OF tissue paper and furnished with
little poke bonnets. There should be
Dutch, japanese and English children.

New Basket Lamps.

CHARMING lamps for the boudoir or

blance of baskets of flowers. The baskets
are made of gilded metal in various
graceful shapes. Some of them are tall,
with ugh. arched handles. Some have
no handles. and are squat and low.
They are all lined with silk-rose-col-
ored silk Is the favorite color. Across
the top Of the basket a piece of silk 10
fastened. and to this piece of silk small
silk flowers are attached. Sometimes
there is q tiny electric bulb in the center
Of each flower. sometimes a big bulb is
hidden under the flowers, and the light
shines through the sides of the basket as
well as through the flowers.
Some OF the baskets are little one
sided. as II they we're made of flexible
reeds and had been crushed against
wall. And these are hung on the wall,
at the side Of bed or above a writing
desk. or ct the side Of dressing table.

Pocket Money for Children

older his allowance and his responsible

money stands as an equivalent for work
that there is a definite limit to it's ap-

least should be given in return for serv-
ice rendered.
Quite young boys and girls can be made

are spoiled at the expense OF their sisters

never be taken as basis for settling the
