TO CHANGE COLOR OF LACE
White May Be Made Over Into Creamy
Hue, Just Now So Much In
Popular Favor.

Have you ever noticed that cream
colored lace is usually more expensive
than white lace, even Of the same pat
tern?
Not being able to buy any cream lace
cheap, 1t occurred to me that there
must be some way of changing white
to cream. l asked a friend about this.
and she gave me the following advice,
which / have since put into practice
with fine results:
Buy five or ten cents worth Of
French ochre "a powder) at any paint
store. Mix three parts Of ordinary
white talcum powder with one part Of
the ochre for a light cream color, or.
If a darker shade Of cream is desired,
use more ochre. Put the mixture in a
bowl and rub the lace as though wash
ing it in the powder, a little at a time.
The white lace will become a lovely
cream. But be sure and do the work
in a room where the powder can be
easily busted away. as it settles over
everything.

GOOD BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
Reading Helps In Innumerable Ways
to Aid Youth to Meet the World
Makes Him Think Quickly.

CBy ELEANOR CRAIG, Colorado Asri-
cultural College.)
Whatever there is In life that makes
a child's life happier and better. is
worth having. Among the things that
accomplish this purpose are good
books-not the light trashy kind, but
those that have been worthy enough
to have lasted through years or that
show a basis Of good clean thought
behind them. This is the kind that
should be in the household of every.
one, and especially those households
with growing children. In our busy
life Of today whatever advantages we
can give our children at small ex-
pense are worthy Of our notice. AL.
most any classic a To- be bought
for 30 cents.
Reading helps in innumerable ways
makes him think more quickly and
more carefully, and 1t places situa-
lions before him that may help him
in ar emergency at some future time.
His whole outlook on life is broadened
by reading.
The reading is not limited to what
we call classics. Everyday books are
published that create types of life
with which a growing child should be
familiar. His ideals cannot help but
be raised when he reads of a life OF
noble manhood or gentle womanhood.

Pasteboard boxes are used to make
foundations for toilet table accessor-

success and beauty Of a room SO fur

EARTH's MOST SACRED SPOT
Grotto or Manager In the Church Of
the Nativity at Bethiehem-Site
Where Christ Was Born.

What may perhaps be described as
the most sacred spot on earth, says
a writer in the Wide World, Is the
grotto or manger in the Church Of the
Nativity at Bethlehem. This small un-
derground chamber, reached from the
church above by a flight Of steps, is
said to be the site of the actual man.
ger where Christ was born, and a sill
yer star, let into the floor under
meath the altar, is alleged to be the
exact spot of the Nativity. Above the
star hangs is lamps. which have con-
tinually Illuminated the little chapel
for several hundred years. The altar
Is adorned with the most elaborate
embroideries, the work Of royal prin-
cesses, while from the ceiling hang a
number Of brass lamps and a few
paintings. There has, Of course, been
no little controversy as to whether
this is the actual site of the original
manger. To begin with, 1t is under
ground, and many people wonder how
1t could have been used by cattle and
horses. Here, however, we have to,
remember that in the east donkeys
and mules often dwell in underground
stables, and the staircase would pre-
sent no difficulty to the agile native
cattle of Palestine. No less IN au-
thority than Colonel Gender has de-
clared that the rude grotto with its
rocky manager may, 1t seems to me,

The best effects are achieved when
one starts with plain walls in some
attractive tint or in a neutral color,
and with sheer white curtains at the
windows. Having these, the next
thing to do is to select a pattern In
~cretonne that will harmonic with the
wall and be suitable to the person
for whom the room is to be prettily
garnished.
The windows first are provided with
curtains of the c%retonne. A box seat

too many accessories and putting
them in evidence in the room.

Embroidered Lace.

a lovely lingerie waist on which there
was much hand embroidery, chiefly
solid satin stitch. Rows Of wide val.

side Of the front Of the waist. and the
center was a panel Of solid embroid-
cry. The embroidered leaves Of the
flowers projected about half an inch
over the fine lace Insertion. and the
effect was charming. Great care has
to be exercised when embroidering
over lace that the threads Of the en-
broidery do not pull and strain at the
