Few Jersey Blacksmith Probably the
Most SklIlfuI Metal Worker in
the World.

Louis Van Boeckel, the blacksmith
of a small Belgian hamlet, has won
more than local fame by his skill in
fashioning flowers from metal by
means of the tools of his trade. He
has an American rival, however, in the
person of James Gran, a blacksmith
whose smithy is in Plainfield, n ].

smith make rose" says writer in
the New York Sun. He first fashions
the core, and then FORCES the smaller
petals, hammering the ends out fiat.
Next, he takes a contrivance shaped
like a screwdriver and opens the out
er petals first. After hollow
ing out the petals, he grasps the iron
rosebud in pair of tongs, thrusts it
into the fire, and heats the stems of
the petals. He takes it out of the fire,
and hammers the stems into a solid
mass
He forms the larger petals in the
same manner. and having thus made

Hints for the seamstress.

A neat way to bone a collar is to
sew a piece of tape on the wrong side
of the collar from shoulder seam to
edge. Make two Sits in each strip
near the middle, SO that by bending
you can slip the bit of whalebone in
to stiffen the collar. When the waist
is soiled the whalebone may be taken
out, soaked If necessary to straighten
1t, and put back in the cleaned waist.
Another excellent idea is to sew but
tons that cannot well be washed onto
a tape and put row of button holes
on each side of the waist hens, those
on one side being cut across, the 9th,
ers up and down, SO that the opening
won't cape when the taped buttons are
put In.
