Chain of Beads

To the member who asked for directions
for making forget-me-not chains: Take
a long thread shade of the blue beaD.
double it, and make knot. String eight
blue beads, pass the needle through the
first bead and draw the thread tight This
forms a circle. String one yellow bead,
count four beads to the left of where the
last thread came through, and insert the
needle in the fourth bead, from space be-
tween fourth and fifth beads Pull the
thread tight. This forms one blossom,
having two blue beads on each of its
four sides and one yellow bead for CEN
ter. String two blue beads; pass the
needle through the two beads forming the
top of the blossom; then again pass the
needle through the two last beads strung.
Turn the work over so that the thread
comes from the left side. String six blue
beads. Pass the needle through only one
of the last beads fastened down--that to-
ward the right. Pull the thread up tight.
String one ye4ow bead. Repeat directions
until the chain is of the desired length

There seems to be no end to what the
Young Womans Christian association is
doing in this town.
Every week or so something develops
that this splendid well organized body has
undertaken and almost before the venture
is launched success is labeled with cani-
tai IS" and things are running smoothly
and nicely in the even tenor of its way.
The latest addition to the good deeds
of the Young Women's Christian associa-
ton is the Moon Rest and Tea Room
downtown-the association having taken
over Wlley's tea room the latter part of
July.
1t was a big undertaking, but a good
one, for such a place has been very
much needed by the working girl, the
shopper, the society woman and the visl-
tor to the city, and it was through the
kindly offices of Mrs. r. T. Hillman that
the proposition was made possible.
This generous charitable woman has
been one of the most liberal and substan-
tial supporters of the Young Women's

glycerin over the salt water bath to a
temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pour off from gelatin all the water rel
naming unabsorbed and add the gelatin
to the hot glycerin. Continue the heat
ing for an hour. carefully stirring the
mixture occasionally, avoiding as much as
possible the formation of bubbles or froth.
Finally, add 20 drops of oil of cloves to
avoid decomposition. The composition is
now ready for pouring into the vessel 1e-
signed to hold it While in use The vessel
may be made especially for the purpose or
a shallow cake tin may be used. After
the tin is filled with the composition it
must be placed in a level position in a cool
place, free from dust, and allowed to re-
main for at least five hours. To prepare
the pad for use it is necessary to pass a.
wet sponge lightly over the face of the
gelatin and allow ii nearly TO dry before
taking the first copy. If this precaution
Is neglected the face of the pad will be
ruined by the first transfer. The writing

1t wasn't an easy matter to get just
the right woman for this place.
Indeed
Mrs. Mary s. Meriweather, who is In
charge, was not a very ''get-at-a able per-
son, for Mrs. Merweather is very pop
ular woman in her profession, her long
experience and patience ability for cater

to do just this sort of work.
Mrs. Meriweather is a very handsome,
attractive woman, tall, stately and digni-'

business"
Her white hair waving softly back from
her forehead gives her a very amiable
expression, and her gentle. kindly man.
ner as she greets you creates an atmos-
phere of elegance and refinement about
the place that is very delightful and in
gratiating.
How do you manage to do it?' j asked
Mrs Meriweather the other day as We
remarked about the delicious cut of beef
which was being served that day for
luncheon. when everybody is about boy
cottng meat and butter and eggs, and
becoming vegetarians?'
1.-The whole secret" said Mrs Meri-
weather, sis just this: do the marketing,
every bit of it myself. I don't telephone.
l don't send. You know Benjamin Frank
lin once remarked that If you wanted a
thing left undone send somebody to do it..
II you wanted it done, go Yourself That
is my idea exactly, and 1t applies par
ticuarly to good housekeeping. I am at
the market every morning very early,
many mornings at o'clock In this way

vegetables the choicest butter and eggs

suggested. "You go about 1t with so much

Corner how TO make braided wooden rugs
So far no one has replied. l have made
none in many years. but when I was a

the only floor covering in the bedrooms
we then had. The strips OF cloth were cut
about one and one-half inches wide and
as long possible Then they are braid
ed, usually three colors together-black,
red and yellow--or something similar; then
pressed quite fiat with a hot irep; then
coiled and sewn together with strong linen
thread If an oval rug was desired, one
end was turned back about a foot or so,
and sewed on, and the oval made around
that. IL this will help C. V. 1 am glad TO
be able to help that much. G. r. NJ.

Mrs. Meriweather, whether a person
must be a member of the Young Woman's
of their work in this their latest project,
ize the tea room. No. emphatically they
need not be member. Any woman or
girl is welcome to all the convenences
and advantages offered by the place.
'one thing that the Young Womans
Christian association is trying to do also
is to Introduce and make popular the
Saturday evening suppers for Is cents"
continued Mrs. Meriweather. Some time
in October. too, an educational society will
make canvas of the city in order to
ascertain what the attitude is toward an
educational branch in connection with the
tea ROOM 1t is the idea of the Ionug
Womans Christian association to have
evening classes in stenography and other
branches, so that the girls who work dur
ing the day and desire to learn another
profession or perfect themselves in what
they are already doing, may lr able to
pursue their work under pleasant circum-
stances. This is particularly advantag-
eous to the younger girls who need pro-
lection and some life surroundings In the
midst of their busy work"
1t was a happy selection, indeed, when
Mrs. Meriweather was asked by the Young
Woman's Christian association to become
director of the moon rest and tea room y
for her influence and personality lends a
deal of prestige to the place, and her ex-
cellent business qualifications will un-
doubtedly spell success financially, which
means to the Young Woman's Christian
association covering expenses, with no at
tempt to make a profit.
The Young Woman's Christian as
sociation is to be congratulated upon =
very unique and wholesome augmentation
Christian association in, order to patron
and 1t will fill long felt want to many
hundreds of woman all over the city who
will always be welcome by the mere fact
of their presence there!

not be measured-except by the great
amount of comfort and pleasure that it
has unafforded the many women and

Young Women's Christian association.

who always has their interest at heart

always generous.
In addition Mrs. r, S. Munger, who is

Mrs. M. p. Northington and Mrs. John

Of their efforts multiplied an hundred
