able just now than the nuns yelling or other mourning ves. The new crepe is both less costly than formerly and is treated in such . way that 1t wears better. As you are so sallow. advise you to have a facing to your bonnet of white crepe. Get youthful shape. As young a widow as you are can easily wear toque with the long veil. but If you prefer bonnet the modified Mary Stuart shape with the white facing should be be- coming.
 KATHRYN M. J.: In cutting your net for ruchings plan the strips so as few seams possible are needed. If the length Is longer than the width the ruches will be almost as nice cut in lengthwise strips. If your net ia not firm enough to join the stitches by fine overcasting done with 12o cotton make mar row seam in the usual way. trim 1t off close to the stitching. and buttonhole the raw edges closely with a fine cotton, 90 or 100.
 AMANDA D.: Be sure not to cut your ne4 collar the bias of the material or 1t will not keep its shape. Many dressmakers prefer to cut it on the lengthwise of the material. thinking 1t fits better. In cutting a net collar let it be half an inch higher than for any other material. as 1t has tendency to puIr away. For the same reason the slope from back to front need not be so marked as in another material. as the net usually will stretch enough to give the proper spring.
 
 MRS. c. W. F.: appreciate the difiiculty of keeping restless children covered when they first take off their heavy nightdrawers in the spring. Why not run tape or ribbon through the hem at the bottom of the night gowns and draw them up on the cool nights so the little feet will be sure of proper pro- tection. If the gown Is too short rip the hem and add a casing by facing 1t on the under side. It will not be necessary to finish all the nightdresses in this way; two or at moso three should be ampls until warmer wsatheg comes.

How to Manage the Dull Child.

 When dulness Is the cause of the child's failure to grasp your speech you must be gentle and patient for dullness Is disease acutely painful to the possessor as we'll as to those who mix with her. Never scold her or complain of her to her face. But take 1t quite cheerfully for granted that though she doesn't understand now, she will by and by Then go back to the root of the matter. using simple words and short sentences, and explaining every detail most carefully

 Pictures drawings, toys of any kind are useful in dealing with slow witted children. Often the eye can grasp what the ear fails to take in. A dull childs lessons should be short, and she should never he allowed to plod on at them after the stated time, no matter how anxious she may be to do so,
 Nervousness is generally the cause of those sudden lapses of mental grasp which may bs noticed even in brilliant children. A clever child will sometimes say that she can't learn her lessons one bit when auntie teaches her." and auntle. who is hurt by this statc- ment, declares that the little one is naughty But she isn't. There Is something in auntie's personality or educational meth ods which rasps the pupils nerves to such degree that she Is honestly incapable of learning.
 Instructions and orders of all kinds need to be given children of this kind in smooth, matter of fact way. Don't begin with " Now attend, for I've something important to tell you" but glide from one thing to another till the important fact has slipped into it's place in the child's mind without any jerk of any kind likely to jar that sensitive organism.

T is absolutely useless to try to force
 child into attention by means of com ! mands and remonstrances.
 Why don't you listen to what tell you? o. you are naughty troublesome girl! l said such and such thing to you What did l say? You don't know? O, dear. o, dear whatever shall I do with your"
 And so the dreary business goes on till 1t ends in slappings and tears.
 If you had jug with the lid on and you wanted to pour water into it. you would not try to pour through the lid and then be aston ished because the water was spilled. You would first of all remove the lid. In just the same way you must first remove the ob- stinacy, dullness, or nervousness which Is blocking the entrance to the child's mind, and then put in your facts as you please.

 child who is lnattentive through obsti- macy Is generally who has been managed by stupid people. She has probably been bullied or bored into feeling sure that all >grownups are "agin her" so she simply won't pay them the courtesy of listening to what they say The way to deal with her is to be gentle indeed with her and to let her alone as much as possible. Don't speak to her more than you are obliged but take great care that all you say is pleasant hearing.
 Don't speak directly to her if you can help 1t, but talk to other people in the room, trying to say, now and then, things that she will like to hear. If you have another child tell tales to that child, make plans with It. have jokes with it, and pretend that you do not know how eagerly the obstinate one is listening. You may see that she is sitting up all in bristle of eagerness, quite stiff with excite ment, to hear what you are saying. But you must address her only casually at first or she

T HE question of securing a supply of hot
 tea during an outing is one which may be solved in various ways. The sim
 plest of all plans, however Is the mak- ing of a hay basket For the purpose it is only necessary to secure a good sized basket a bottle, and a quantity of hay.
 When the tea has been made the liquid, after a suitable interval for standing, is strained away from the leaves. The tea must be poured scalding hot into the bottle, and, in order to prevent the glass from crack ing. it is a good plan first to place the vessel into an oven for short time, so that it becomes thoroughly hot.
 Without any delay the bottle with the tea must be packed away into the basket After

carefully corking put the bottle into the bas- ket in the most convenient position. It is likely that it will not stand quite upright, and in this case 1t may be placed into the basket slantways.
 Now start to pack in the hay all round the bottle. This should be rammed In as tightly as possible. and for the purpose It will be found that a small stick Is useful. Be careful to see that there are no spaces anywhere, as anything in this way is likely to bring about loss of heat.
 Finally thick layer of hay is placed right on the top of the bottle, so that it is entirely buried In hay basket of this description it will be found that the tea will keep scald- ing hot for many hours. The hay basket may naturally be used with equal success for the keeping of iced drinks in cool condition.
