UTILIZING THE USELESS.
How to Make Attractive Articles Out
Of Discarded Things.

If you have an empty half pound
candy box you car make excellent use
Of the cover and the box for pin trays.
Line both Of them inside and out and
finish the outer rim with braid. The
cover should then be divided off into
compartments. To do this cut two lit
tie slips of cardboard just as long as
the box cover is wide and just the
same height, probably about two inch
es. Cover these w slips with ch1ntz
and place them across the width, not
the length, of the box lid far enough
apart to make three separate compart-
ments. This is to be used for different
sized hairpins, while the other larger
one is for combs, hair nets and all the
usual things that collect on Il bureau.
Attractive jars for smelling salts can
be made from small, square preserving
Jars covered with chintZ up to the
very edge. which is surrounded by
braid. Beneath the glass cover to the
jar paste a piece to tit, and you will
find it a very dainty jar. Similar boxes
or jars can be made for almost any
purpose.

!, TO MAKE A BRIGHT SPOT

If your living room or your bedroom
is in need Of a bright spot get to work
and make a cushion of bright colored
material. 1t is surprising how n soil
tary cushion will change the whole at
mosphere Of a room. A cushion made
of old rose Doplin, denim or silk would
just sing with JOY and happiness If you
would place it amid your surroundings.
Through the center of the cushion sew
a strip Of white poplin on which large
old rose flowers are printed. Around
the edge Of the cushion sew a strip OF
narrow old rose silk fringe. Should you
find that old rose will not harmonic
with your wallpaper OF your hangings,
select a color that will blend with
them-bright green, blue or yellow will
have the same cheerful effect as the
old rose.

A Place For the Boys and Girls
BLOWING SOAP BUBBLES.

Children usually prefer to blow the
bubbles into the open air and watch
them sail into space. However, many
interesting tricks can be done with
soap bubbles. II blown on to a piece
Of felt or wooden cloth spread on Il
table the bubbles will bounce lightly
and will not break at once. With a
little practice bubbles can be hitched
to each other, the first one being at
tached to a piece Of worsted suspended
in the air. and a pretty little chain
Of bubbles is the result. A bubble can
be made to walk" a tight rope. Hold
a piece of worsted yarn in a slanting
position, blow the bubble on to the
upper end. and 1t will dance and
bounce down the string to the lower
end. thence making a flying leap to the
floor. There are many other tricks
that may be done with soap bubbles,
some comparatively simple, while 9th
ers require a great deal Of practice
first. Try some of the simple tricks
suggested above and when proficiency
is attained in executing them you will
be ready to try more elaborate ones.

a belle. Would that l had not been
such, for the attention l received

FILTERED my life.
Among my suitors were Alfred Beale
and Edgar Turnlee. Turnlee was my
favorite-indeed, l was very much in
love with him-but l wished to be
striven for and alternately encouraged
him and his rival, Alfred Beale. One
day was sitting in the drawing room
of the plantation house with Edgar.

Fashions and the Household
THIS IS A SILK SEASON.
Several Reasons Why This Lovely
Fabric Is Popular.

WY -~
Fabric Is Popular.
The immense vogue of silk this sea-
Sol is said to be due to the fact that
war has closed the wooden mills Of
northern France, while the more south
erly silk factories are still turning out
materials, and the production Of the
Italian mills is uninterrupted.
Whatever the reason, the fact is In
disputed and indisputable-silk is tri-
umphant. Though for a time it seem
ed as If the French supply were threat
ened, the makers have rallied their
forces, and huge. shipments are being
exported to the American markets. Do
nestle silks are so much improved Of
late years that our choice is a wide
one
To start, in pedagogic fashion, from
the general and proceed to the partic-
ular. it may be said that the crisper
silken fabrics are in the lead and that
the patterned is trying hard to super
sede the plain. All the designs and col
orings are discreet. The Poiret colors
and Martini patterns are now only
found in the occasional lining Of a neu-
trail colored topcoat. Black and white
combinations are simply legion, and
stripes have imposed themselves upon
everything. In these two particulars,
indeed, it behooves the woman who
likes to be a bit exclusive in her dress
to be rather careful.

RESPECT A CHILD'S MIND.
Hard on Youngster to Be Discussed II
His Presence.


1t is very often an agonizing expert
ence to a child to be discussed in his
presence, as if he We're not there at all
and not to be considered-at any rate,
as a person to be considered about
what is said in his presence. Then
there is the stranger who will ask
questions and make comments to a
child about his appearance that a
grownup would resent with indigna-
ton. Not all children like openly eX-
pressed admiration; rather do they re-
sent it..
Another type of child is made pert,
forward and unattractive by the same
treatment. The pity of it Is that it is
always the child who suffers and not
the older people. who aus it all
Does it not seem to you as If we might
treat all children with the courtesy
and consideration that we show tc
equals? There have been many ex'
amples Of children to prove that the
secret Of good training and decent up
bringing lies in being decent to the
child.

that such an acknowledgment would
bring down upon me the contempt Of
both men-that is, if it We're believed,
which doubted.
While I was celebrating l heard
both men 90 out Of the house. l
started to call them back, but hest
tated, and before l had made up my
mind what to do they were out Of

l wondered what would come to pass
between them. 1t did not occur to me
that they would fight a duel. Dueling
by this time had largely died out in the
south, and l was too young to have
heard much of an obsolete custom.
What chiefly concerned me was that l
had so deeply wronged the man 1
loved. l was not only suffering from
consciousness Of having done him an
injustice. but was panic stricken lest
he should never forgive me.
The affair began in the afternoon,
and from then until bedtime l was in
a state of dread, not that anything Sc
rious might occur between the rivals,
but that l had lost my lover. In the
middle of the night my father came
into my room and asked me for an ex-
! PLANTATION of what had happened, for he
had heard of it. Instead Of telling him
the truth. l left him with the impress
sion that Edgar had transcribed his
rights and Alfred had resented his act.
l asked father what had come Of it,
and he replied that l would learn the
result in the morning; then he left me.

men. Suddenly it flashed upon me
that they would fight. l trembled. ]

The Cotton Flies.

An amusing outdoor game is the cot
ton flies. One Of the players takes a
flake of cotton or bit Of down, which
she casts into the air in the midst Of
a circle formed by the guests. She at
once puffs with her breath to keep it
floating in the air, and the one toward
whom the flake takes its course must
puff in the same way to keep it from
falling. This fake can be kept up a
long time If the players are quick.

attention as calling notice to the gen

counted that number of women go
into saloon in quarter of an hour

inquiries learn that during the
morning and afternoon large numbers
OF women pass their time in these
places. and one man who is an al

me he had never seen so much drink

is the amount of money that the war
