WHEN PINS WERE VALUABLE
In Years Conc BY, the Humble House
hold UtensiI Was Given Much
Consideration.

The custom Of making presents on
New Yeas day is now practically OBJ
solete among English speaking peo-
pie, the day Of gift giving now being
Christmas. When pins were first In
vented and brought into use about
the beginning Of the sixteenth cen
fury they were New Years 3ift very
acceptable to ladies, and money given
Tor the purchase Of them was called
"pin money" This expression has
since been extended to money settled
by a husband on his marriage for the
private expenses Of his wife. Pins
made Of metal, in their present form,
we're in use some time before the year
1913. It was during the reign OF
Henry VII. that IAN acte for the true
making of pynnes" was made IN
which It was enacted that the price
should not exceed 6 shillings 8 pence

been made Of box wood, bone and sill.

used by the common folks were made
Of common wood and were. in fact,

TO RID ANIMALS OF PESTS
Water In Which Potatoes Have Been
Boiled Is About the Best Thing
That Can Be Used.

There Is a simple remedy for de-
stroying insects that are sometimes
found on household pets. dogs, cats,
birds, etc.. that is not generally known,
but which is said to be absolutely
sure In its results. It is simply to
wash the animals with the water in
which potatoes have been boiled.
When preparing the vegetable for din
ner, put plenty Of water in the ves-
sci in which they are boiled; then.
when the potatoes are thoroughly
cooked, pour this water off into a
bucket or pan. When it is almost cold,
apply it to the skin Of the animal with
sponge or cloth, taking care that it
soaks we'll into the skin if the ami.

brush will do), scrub the skin, sep.
arating the hair as you work.
Do not rinse this off with clear wa.
ter. Let it dry thoroughly first, then
wash the animal with clear water
and a good strong soap. The first ap-
plication is generally effectual, but If
the case is stubborn one, it had bet.
ter be repeated a few times in order
to destroy the eggs.

READ A HALF HOUR A DAY
uow a Housewife With intelligence
Kept Herself From Drifting Into
Dull, Old Woman.

A woman who has brought up a big
family on a small income, yet has
managed to keep mentally alert, says
II is due to a Half-Hour club.
This club has as its fixed rule that
half an hour each day must be spent
in solid reading. There was leeway
of "a hours, after that there was a
fine of five cents each day for fail
ure to get through the prescribed
reading.
Twice a month the club meets for
discussion of the reading done and to
collect fines of delinquents and spur
them on to fresh effort
The woman who told Of this club
says: "No one knows what it has
meant to me. When you are the one
woman in a family Of boys, have a
bushel basket of stockings to darn
weekly, six children to sew for, les
sons to be heard, it is big tempta-
ton to stop reading entirely or to
fritter spare minutes on novels. That
half hour a day of solid reading has
kept me up with the times, has rested
my body and stimulated my brain,
and, best of all, it has kept me from
drifting into a dull old woman, of
whom my sons might love, but would
pity for her ignorance.
Especially il you live in a small
town is such a club of Importance. 1t
is easy to stagnate, unless a conscious
effort is made. The winter season is
the time to start such a club among
yours neighbors. Do not be content
with planning a half-hour reading
daily for yourself. You will never hold
to it without the stimulus of com.
panionship and the broadening inter
est of the fortnightly meetings.

HAVE PINS ALWAYS AT HAND
Useful Holder to Hang on the Wall
Provides Receptacle for Small
Conveniences.

In our sketch may be seen a dainty
and ornamental holder for hat pins
for hanging upon the wall by the side
of the dressing table. 1t Is, of course,
necessary to keep hat pins where
they are easily accessible, but at the
same time, il they are placed in a
holder or stuck in a cushion upon
the dressing table, they are generally
greatly in the way, so that. perhaps,
there Is nothing better than can be
prepared for them than a holder Of
the nature shown, which may be hung
on the wall
It merely consists of long pocket,
into which the hat pins may be slip
ped, and at the base of it little wood
is placed to receive the points Of the
pins. In making 1t. piece Of fairly
stiff cardboard Is cut out In the shape
shown in diagram A, and scored
across with q sharp penknife at the
point indicated by the dotted line. This
board is then covered on both sides
with some pretty remnant Of silk, and
the two little side pieces diagram b
can next be made.
For them two pieces OF cardboard
are cut out in the wadge-shape illus
trated and covered with silk. The
lower portion of the holder is best up
wards and the side pieces sewn in
their places, and 1t is afterwards fin.
.shed off at the edges throughout with
fine silk cord
The conventional floral design that
appears upon the front should be en-
broidered In silk Of some contrasting
shade of color, and can quite well be
worked from our sketch.

A good deal Of fine gossamer-like
lace enters into these youthful eve.
ming frocks, appearing in scant or
perfectly fiat flounces, in slightly re.
vealed petticoat. in little tichus, etc.
Silver lace plays an important role,
being far more popular for youthful
toilettes than gold lace. Where the
tunic Is of some soft silk instead of
chiffon or white it Is quite likely to
fall over a lace flounce petticoat of
sheer material.
A delightful model Of pale green
chiffon was trimmed with sprays of
chiffon roses. The upper part of the
bodice was made Of maline lace and
the joining line Of the lace and chit
fon was hidden by a line of pink
roses. The looped-up part of the
panier skirt at the front was held in
place by trailing vine of pink roses.
Often small silken roses, foliage and
trailing vines are made into buckles,
wreaths, rosettes and clasps Of all
kinds. One frock Of pale blue silk
muslin showed the tunic caught up
at the right side by large round
circle of pink roses. A cluster OF
pink roses also ornamented the girdle
at the left side.
Especially worthy OF mention was
a frock worn recently by debutante
of this city. 1t was Of pink char
meuse and shadow lace. The bodice
| was fashioned of the lace and there
were two deep flounces of the lace
The decolletage was bordered by a
| line of small roses.
Flowers are not confined to the

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and its accompanying mis-.
cries.
A Phila lady said:
my husband and | have been sick
and nervous for Is or 20 years from
drinking coffee-feverish, indigestion
totally unfit, a good part of the time
for work or pleasure. We actually
dreaded to eat our meals. (Tea is
just as injurious, because it contains
caffeine, the same drug found in cot
fee)
We tried doctors and patent medi.
cines that counted up into hundreds
of dollars, with little II any benefit.

Newest Pest,

The newest pest in the west and
middle west is the dog. Not the prai-
rie dog, just the common dog. He is
responsible for the decline in the
sheep raising industry. In many
states in the section of the country
once largely devoted to cattle and
sheep raising, there are more dogs
than there are sheep. It takes three
barb wires on top of two feet of woven
wire to make a fence that will
keep dogs away from sheep. Kansas
had 175,O0O sheep and 10000 dogs
in 1910, according to the secretary Of
the Kansas board of agriculture.
The usual answer farmers in the
west give to the question. "Why don't
you keep Sheep" is I'VE can't keep
dogs from killing them"

PRETTY DANCE FROCKS

These are the days when the de.
