THINGS SEEN m OUR SCHOOLS
Former Teacher Tells of Her Visits
and Observations

We believe the idea of making the
school building the social center is
going to win AS we look at the beau
tiful high school auditorium with its
adornment in hteratEis and art, its
beautiful ceiling and walls, we think
we would not like these things smoked
and injured, but we have faith that
even q political meeting can be held
here, neither injuring the beautiful
Minerva, Diana, fine piano, etc, on the
civic gathering.
We visit the Seventh grade and find
Miss Connolly IN charge of 43 pupils.
Here boys and girls become most in
teresting, but perplexing. Difficulties
arise in most unexpected ways and for
no apparent cause A wise, tactful
teacher with infinite patience is re-
qulred. one who takes "a long look
ahead" for the future welfare of each
pupil. We believe Miss Connolly I'M
derstsnds and quietly and tactfuliy does
her duty. Parents should stand shoulder
to shoulder with all teachers, but es-
pecislly so with teachers of 7th and Sth
grade. Most careful watchfulness and
patience is needed at home for these
years. A very pleasant room and we
like the selection of pictures. Clean

Bay" from Lady of the Lake, Christ

Pupils complete the work here in one
year. In arithmetic review fractions
and complete denominate numbers and
measurements. In geography continue
map drawing and sl1dy continents. In
language use book and stress is placed
on letter writing. This is one most i'm
portant thing to be able to write let

later life, not only 10 oneself, but TO

MOTTO FOR CHRISTIAN HOME.
Ideals, Which Consistently Lived Up
to, Cannot Fail TO Make for Hap
piness in Life.

This home is dedicated to good will.
II grew out of love- The two heads
OF the household were called together
by a power higher than they To it's
decree they are obedient Every tone
OF the voice, every thought Of their
oeing, is subdued to that service. They
desire to be worthy of their high cali
ing as ministers Of that grace. They
know their peace will go unbroken
only for little time. And often they
suspect that the time will be more
short even than their anxious hope.
ihey cannot permit SO much as one
hour of that brief unity to be touched
by scorn or malice The worlds judy
ments have lost their sting inside
this door. Those who come seeking
to continue the harmony which these
two have won are ever welcome The
rich are welcome, SO they come SIM
ply. The poor are welcome, for they
have already learned friendliness
through buffeting. Youth is welcome,
for It brings the joy which these two
would learn. Age is welcome, for it
will teach them tenderness.-Co Golfers

HOW TO FRINGE CREPE PAPER
Must First Be Crushed into Wrinkles
So That 1t viii Have the Ap-
pearance of Being curIed.

When one IS using crepe paper and
tissue paper in decorations let the
writer tell how to fringe both kinds.
Fold the paper several times. then
clip it closely to make very fine
fringe. Gather the paper together and
twist the fringe around In the palm
of the hand. This will crush the fringe
into thousands of little wrinkles so
that it will look curled when the pa
per is unfolded.
To make rufHes on plain tissue pa
per, fold 1t over hat pin and push
the paper gently, alstttl at time,
toward the hat pin head. Unfold It,
and You have a double ruffle. Cut
it along the creased line. To make
a putting to place around q heart

Of the paper and gather over The hat

FOR SMALL REQUISITES
DAINTY BAG TO HOLD LITTLE
NEcEssARlES OF A VISIT.
Only a Small Amount OF Ribbon and
Few Hours Work Required to
Make This Pretty Accessory
Full Directions.

A dainty bag, with pockets to hold
the little necessaries for weekend
visit, such as th1mble, thread. emery.
orange-stick, etc, can be made in this
way.
Select pretty piece OF ribbon, sew
en- inches wide and half yard in
length, and then choose another piece
that will match or harmonic with
the first and also to be half yard In
length, but only three inches wide.
A yard and a half Of baby ribbon
will be needed for draw strings and a
half yard of gauze ribbon to make
the castings for these strings. First
cut two circles of heavy cardboard
sour inches across the middle: slight
~ pad one OF these circles and cover
with a scrap Of silk which will blend
with the ribbon: the other circle
should be covered In the same way,
but not padded. These circles will
form the bottom OF the bag. Now
take the seyen-inch ribbon and lay It
out fiat on the table with the wrong
side up; upon this lay the three-inch
wide ribbon with the right side up.
Sew the lower edges OF these two rib
bons together Now divide this lower
edge into as many parts as you wish
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1913-03-08

to have pockets, for example the rib
bon being Is inches long 1t can be di-
vided of into two-inch sections,
which will make nine pockets. From
each of these division points In the
lower edge, sew the two ribbons to-
gether until you reach the top edge
OF the three-inch ribbon. To hide the
stitches, which will show through on
the right side Of the seven-inch rib
bon, which will be the outside of the
bag, work demonstrating Sew the
gauze ribbon, which forms the casing
for the draw strings, one inch down
nom the top edge OF the wider rib
bon, an hide the stitches here also by
feather stitching on the right side.
now sew the sides Of the ribbon to-
gether, gather the lower edges and
Glitch firmly between the two circles
having the padded one On the inside
ana the plain one on the outside of
the bag. On each side of the bag
make little opening for the strings
to come through. Cut the baby rib
bon in halves. allowing three quarters
OF yard for each. and finish the enc
OF the strings of with a dainty bow.

Snow Pudding,

Snow is an excellent substitute for
eggs either in buildings or pancakes.
Two large spoonfuls will supply the
place Of one egg, and the article it is
used in will be equally good. This is
useful, as snow often falls at the
season when eggs are the highest in
price. The snow may be taken up
from any clean spot before it Is want.

the sooner it is used the better. The
yolks and whites OF eggs beaten long
and separately make the article they
are put into much lighter.
