Several centerpieces may be rolled at once over a length of broom stick or any other stick of suitable size and length. Newspapers made into long. smooth roll will answer if there is nothing else handy.

Cut of the four corners of the square of cre- tonne and bind all around with ribbon. Use the corner piece to cover the ends of the mailing tube. pasting the na- terial to the tube with library paste. Paste one edge of the square along the tube roll over until the tube Is com pletely hidden and tack in place. The cut off corners at either end will Ut nicely around the covered ends or the tube. At the opposite edge of the cre- tonne square sew short lengths Of rib bon. and when the centerpfeces have been laid on the square begin at the tube and roll up, tying the finished roll of cretonne and centerpieces with in by means of the ribbon ends. or 1n- stead of using ribbons to tie up the roll attach metal snap fasteners to the cretonne in such manner that the roll may be snap buttoned together

HINTS FOR DAILY LIVING.

NEWER neglect your daily exercise. ~ A brisk walk for a couple of miles in the fresh morning air or four Aor five mile bicycle ride is one of the first essentials
 Plain. nourishing food and an abun- dance of ripe fruit are another Fruit is best eaten in the morning. Bananas are easy of digestion to some and very nutritious. Grapes are nourishing and fattening. Apples are especially good for brain workers. and oranges are of great benefit to people afflicted with rheumatism.
 Have plenty of fresh air in your liv- ing and sleeping rooms Leave your bedroom window open from the top several inches every night, no matter how cold the weather. Have your bed covering warm and light.
 On getting up in the morning arrange your bedding and bed so that they may be thoroughly aired. Leave the win dow open in your bedroom for the greater part of the day. In your living room ventilation is also necessary and sunshine too.

Moreover. 1t makes the floor warner and less noisy, so the grass rug has come to enjoy high place in the esti- mation of porch furnishers.

cluster Of small ribbon roses in many

low neck is finished with a fold OF

This is pleasing gown, simple In
outline and in decoration. The dis.
