John Keats, the English poet, was a

life was as lover 1t was under stress
of passion that the weak places in his ma

Der of polishing cloths for the trade,
but the manufacture by the piece does
not pay individuals, as they can be
bought for 25 cents. My experience has
been that the giving of such formulas
to many persons is not satisfactory. 1t
takes a certain knack to make them
right. For individual housekeepers the
best silver polish is to make solu-

for both of them. 1t is said that Fanny
meyer gave any evidence of having love-.
her fascinated admrer. and she even neg
lected him when his health was poor and
his literary labors great, for those
amusements which he was unable to en-
joy. In a little blown book, first pue-
lished more than year ago, are the
letters of Keats to his Fanny, less than
40 in all. The letters contained passages
of, this character:
THE morning is the )n;y proper time
to write to beautiful isirl whom I owe
so much; for at night, when the lonely
day has closed, ana the lonely silent.

me as into a sepulchre, then believe me,

would not have you see those rhap-
sodies which | once thought it impossible
| should ever give way to, and which
have often laughed at in another, for fear
you should think me neither too unhappy
or perhaps a little mad"
And again: II never knew what such
love as you have made me feel was;
did not believe in it, my fancy was afraid
of it, lest 1t should Nurn me up. WIZ
may I not speak of your beauty, since
without that | never could have loved
you; | cannot conceive any beginning of
such love as I have for you but beauty.

wings of my self will, and would I could
take a sweet poison from your lips to send
me out of it,"
Keats saw or wrote to his sweetheart
every day. In the autumn of 1920 his
health failed and his friends sent him to
Italy. The lover yearned for fame which
he might live to achieve and lay at the
feet of the one love of his life as his offer
ing. One of the r;ost beautiful of Lis
poems Is that "To F.rry."
Keats was SO i'll when he reached ISaly
that he did not write to Fanny, realizing
that he would never be able to carry out
the fondest wish OF his heart He lied
late in February and was buried in Rome.
BY his request a letter of his sisters was
buried with him, as we'll as the pocket
book Fanny Brawne gave him at taeir
final parting.

String Mats for the Table

Some months ago Ella II. asked about
making table mats for living. To her
l should say that table mats made or
common string on a wooden frame
should sell for 10 or 20 cents apiece.
They require no special skill and could
be done by touch" Make frame like
a picture frame little larger than the
mat desired. A foot square with Is nails
is good size. Drive the nails an inch
apart on each side SO they will stand
up about an inch. Leave ons and half
inches from each corner to form fringe
border. Wind the string firmly back
and forth and Srosswise till the mat
Is as thick as desired (about 25 layers)
and tie hard knots diagonally in bitA
directions with separate string. Cut
from loom. If I were not a busy house
mother | would be glad to make
loom of this sort and send it, but
hope l have made the directions Plaza.
Other shut-ins would find m4k.aS
string mats fascinating and possibly
profitable. L. G..
