FOR THE HOME NEEDLEWORKER.
Novel Stocking Case.
RY HELEN HOWE,


! We have had handkerchief cases,
glove cases, veil cases and comb and
brush cases, but a stocking case is
novelty. The girl who Is careless about
putting away her stockings. and who
consequently never knows where to
find a certain pair. but fishes about
among a bundle of stockings until she
finds what she wants, should try the
stocking case scheme. The case may
be made of any preferred material. as
linen. silk, sateen with an outer cover
ing of something sheer as wolfe. scrlm
or dotted swiss, the decoration being to
suit ones fancy.
To make a case holding dozen pairs
of stockings one needs strip about
nine inches wide and over yard long
At one end the strip is turned up to
form a pocket, and at the other it is
cut into a pointed flap. A second strip
about five inches wide and the length
of the wider one minus the pocket is
bound with ribbon or tape on one long
side. The opposite edge is laid even
with the wider strip and basted there.
Next the double strips are divided into
twelve pockets just as one would make
shoe bag. Then all edges Of the case
are bound with the selected bindings.
The larger pocket is to hold the stock
ings that need darning. while the small
er ones take one pair each rolled up
smoothly ready to put on.
AS it is difficult to keep stockings
in pairs when they are all one color,
it is good plan to sew one of the lit
tie dress snappers at the top of each
stocking. When sending to the laun-
dry a pair of stockings can be clasped
together and orders given to wash
them so Joined. Then one can tell just
how we'll or how badly stockings wear
and can buy the brand that gives the
better satisfaction. When the case Is
rolled up it can be pushed into corner
of bureau drawer, and will be found
a much neater arrangement than the
loose stocking drawer.
Now that fancy neckwear is SO much
in vogue a special receptacle for it is
necessity. The cardboard box covered
with a pretty cretonne or other fabric
matching the furnishings Of the bed
room makes a dainty neckwear box,
being light and yet durable since 1t is

ORGANIZED ACTIVITY.

AS soon as they are old enough chill
dren should be given little tasks to
perform, letting them figure out for
themselves the best way in which to
accomplish them. For instance, they
may have their own garden plot, where
they can till the soil and SOW their
seeds and potter to their hearts con-
tent without interference from their
elders.
The trouble with the average mother
is that she is apt to put the child OFF

sumed. says. Some other day." and the
simple wish remains ungratifled.
All this is discouraging to the child
who is anxious to learn how to ex-
press herself in some handiworke which
she can call her own.
Fortunately, the kindergarten and va
dren who are constantly suppressed at
home, and 1t is astonishing even to the
teachers what they accomplish.
The summer schools are. OF course,
largely made up Of the children Of the
poor, who are kept of the streets dur
ing vacation. Meantime, the girls are
taught the fine art Of housekeeping,
and the boys basketry and carpentry
and even cooking.
A diagram of lamb or a COW on the
blackboard shows the different cuts of
meat. and, in addition to this theoreti-
cal instruction. the children are taken
to market and taught how to buy meats
"a knowledge which many adults do
not possess.
These same girls learn how to cook
and serve food daintily, how to can
fruit, how to care for babies. how to
sew and make their own clothing. The
boys are taught how to use tools prop
erly and to make useful objects for the
home, all Of which teaches the twofold
lesson of thriftiness and self-reliance.
This effort on the part of boards of
education to teach children, whose ages
average eight years. to do things them
selves shows the importance which is
attached to disciplining the young
along the lines Of self-reliance.
Only self-reliant people can be happy
and self-respecting. Any right-think-
ing person will admit this, but that

changed on this subject and the people
have thrown off to a large extent any
unnecessary Indulgence in mourning
garb. which, after all. is a mere con-
vention and has nothing to do with
actual grief.
Black Means Grief.
The wearing of black should simply
be regarded as an indication to the
public of recent grief, and there are
now thousands of people whose depth
of grief or dignity could not be ques-
toned who yet refuse to adopt more
black than band on the arm. Eng
land has taken up this symbol of be-
reavement extensively since the war
began, but France adheres to the
swathing method which came into prac-
tice in early Victorian days.
But even France has seen the menace
to health in the crepe veil that COW
ers the face and falls to the knees. 1t
has realized that it is better to stay
within doors than to appear in pub
lie in garb that attracts every ones
attention. America has long ago dis
carded this covering, except in the very
beginning of mourning, worn on the
pear in public.
True, there have been many eccen
tricities in mourning which are not in
good taste: there has been erring on
both sides of the convention, for any
costume that is sufficiently out OF the
ordinary to cause comment is not car
