MAKE USE OF SEALING WAX
Material May Be Employed in the Con-
structon of Many Little Knick-
Knacks for the Home.

Do you know how to use sealing wax
20 beautify yourself and your house?
no Well, it is a new art, but it is one
worth mastering.
With sealing wax of various colors,
some shoe buttons, little lamp and a
small metal dish or ladle you can make
very attractive "enameled" buttons for
your new chiffon blouse. Melt some
pink and blue and green and gray wax
in the ladle, without mixing them very
thoroughly, and dip the buttons in.
Then let them dry and you will see
that you have some lovely round but
tons with almost opalesque coloring.
Or suppose you want pair of pins
for a baby's frock and do not feel in
clined to pay $3.50 for the blue enam-
eled sort you desire. Buy a stick of
the lovely pale-blue sealing wax and
10-cent pair of pins at the notion coun.
ter, melt the wax carefully so that it
does not scorch to darker shade and
dip in the pins. DIy-and presto! you
have the enameled baby's gift you de-
sired.
Perhaps you want string Of beads.
You can make them, too, of sealing
wax. You can dip wooden beads-the
kind that come for children to string
on stout thread-in gold sealing wax,
and when they have dried you can dip
half of each bead in again, and let
that dry, and then put just little of
the beads surface in again. and so
work up bead of irregular shape, like
the lovely Venetian beads Of glass and
gold. You can use other colors, too,
With the gold, for different effects.

FITTINGS FOR THE NURSERY
Particular Attention is Now Being
Paid to Furnishings of Small
Peoples Rooms.

Nothing is too good for the baby,
says the mother, and in consequence
there are devised clothes which are
distinctively childish In their lines and
others which ape in fashion, plan and
elaboration all the splendors of the
grown-up garments. In the same way
1t is found that furniture has been
designed Of recent years, that is made
specially for children. The nursery Is
not place in which the parents and
nurses take care Of the children. It
is primarily the childs own abode. It
las been discovered that it must be
uncomfortable for human to live in
giants home and so the little human
is given home of his own. The nur-
sery, therefore, has not ONLY bright
pictured walls, but it has also child
sized furniture.
The nursery furniture for children
falls generally into two classes. In
the first class, it is designed according
to patterns that are not found in the
furniture for adults. One finds smooth
wood, with round corners. On the
other hand, there is furniture which
is but miniature of the larger sizes
In this case it is felt that the artistry
which has been put into the grown-up
pieces will not be at all amiss when an
pied to the smaller sizes, and that
the mimicry will but add to their
quaintness and beauty.
Such set as this was made in ivory
enamel wood, with the conventional
ivory wicker insets. Tiny festoons of
lVory-colored flowers decorated il.

HAT MOST IMPORTANT
HAS DISPLACED HAIR AS WON
ANS GROWING GLORY.
Americans Might With Profit Follow
the Lead of Their French Sisters
in the Matter of Suitable
Millinery.

It used to be said that womans
browning glory was her hair. Perhaps
there have been times when this was
true, when luxuriant tresses were at
premium, as they were worn flowing
or in braiis whose length and thick
ness were a subject for envy, hatred
and malice among those whose hair
did not possess these attributes.
Nowadays, however, when we fold
all the locks we own into the small
est possible compass, pin them down
and restrain them with nets and combs,
woman's browning glory might more
truly be said to be her hat. The old
saying is still useful If 1t draws at
tention to the Importance of the proper
dressing of the head and emphasizes
the balanced relation between gown
and headgear.
We sometimes tire of hearing eter-
nally of the superiority of French
women in matters of dress. Stout
champions in this country are begin
ming to lift their voices courageously
to express their belief in the suprem-
acy of our own women even in re-
spect of clothes. Continuous fault
finding is as injudicious as continuous
praise would be, and it is unnecessary
for the improvement in the art of

lar, the butterfly wife is apt to hang
like a burden of lead about his neck.
The aim of the right kind Of hus-
band is to make his wife happy. If
following the frivolities of fashion is
her highest aim and pleasure he who
has welded her has a hard row to
hoe; his money goes out for useless
things which could we'll have been got
ten along without. The poor fellow
is toiling his life away, his only rec
ompense being that he is permitted
to be the slave of woman's unrea-
sOnable whims.
How much wiser it is for the man
whose heart has gone out to the doll
ed-up girl to say to her in the early
days of their courtship: Daisy, if
you marry me l want you to under
stand that you are not going to get
a rich man. The girl l make my wife
viii be obliged, in all probability,
many a time to deny herself comforts
to meet the bills for necessities. She
cannot fritter away hard-earned cash
for useless party gowns, jeweled
combs, bracelets and slipper buckles;
patronize theaters, flower stands, soda
water counters, only occasionally. She
will have to put her own dresses to-
gether, trim her own hats and If hard
luck overtakes me buckle to and do
her own homework. l am willing to
lay a certain sum aside from my earn
ings to devote to pleasure, taking her
about as in the days when we were
single, but l am willing to cut out my
part of the pleasure outing, handing
her the money instead, if she needs
it for a new pair of shoes"

fly sweetheart look the marriage pro-
posal from him squarely in the face

making her decision.
Trying to keep up with the wants
Of a butterfly wife has been the ruina-
ton of many a good man, being the
rock which has fOundered his life
bark If husbands we're truthful and
frank with their wives regarding their
incomes they would find that the
wives whom they considered frivolous
would rise nobly to the occasion,
blowing strength of character as
surprising as 1t was undreamed of by
the troubled husband who had waded
beyond his depth in the waters of
financial distress. Be candid with the
girl you love before marriage and with
your wife after wedlOck and there will
be no frowns or tears when you feel
it incumbent to explain to her that
you cannot afford a certain bit of
luxury she has set her heart on. The
butterfly wife is not always a giddy
creature. 1t is really the husbands
fault If he leads her to believe she is
to feed on rose leaves forever after
marriage.

MONKEYS That Roar Llke'LIons.

There are few countries where there
are as many interesting and unusual
animals as in the jungles and forests
of Panama. The strangest of these
are the black howlers." These are
monkeys, and they resemble other
monkeys, but they roar like lions.
They brighten hunters away as much
as do genuine lions. When there are
a half-dozen of them or more together
the noises they make are almost deaf
ening. 1t is they who frequently make
a queer, booming and roaring howl
that resounds from one end of the jun
gle TO the other. Rivals Of these
are the noisy parrots that shout in
the morning until the jungle fairly
rings with their tumult. There are
also the grotesque toucans which at
times vie with the parrots, the calling
OF the parrakeets and the peculiar
ohoruslike call of the chachalaca or
wild turkey. At night mysterious
noises are heard everywhere from IN
known sources. but the strangest Of
these are the strange monkeys.

A Poets Tomb.

Under my eyes," wrote Mistral in
his vein of antique tolerance, Il see
the Enclosure and the white dome Of
where, like the snails, l shall lie hid
in the gentle shade. Supreme effort
of our pride to escape voracious time!
This forbids not that yesterday or
today quickly is changed into a long
forgetfulness. And when people ask
Of John O. Figs, of John the CATERED
What is this dome% they will reply:
That's the tomb of the poet-a poet
who made songs for beautiful Pro-
vencal maid called Mireille. They are
like mosquitoes in the Camargue, scat
tered far and wide. But he lived in
Maillane, and the old men of the coun-
tryside have seen him walking in our
paths And then one day they will
say: It's he whom they had chosen
king of Provence. But his name lives
no more save in the song Of the brown
crickets.' At last, at the end of their
knowledge, they will say: ''Tis the
tomb of a magician, for of 16-rayed
star the monument wears the image"

all you might as we'll put it on prop

ETY. in looking as we'll as one can,
and the moral result Of making the
best of yourself physically. is one
whose effect, both upon yourself and
upon those with whom you come in
contact it is difficult to overestimate.
Of late years there have been few
wells worn in Paris; by the way,
French artists have a way of making
themselves heard in clothes matters,
and they object strenuously to wells.
The women seem to know how to keep
in perfect trim without them. 1t Is
almost a pity that they have been so
generally discarded, as it is charm
ing study to watch a Partisan adjust
one. She does it with the fingers Of
an artist and the insight of philos-

at the psychological point; if there is
a pattern it is arranged to the best ad-

the tip of her nose or make the mouth
look lopsided or obscure her eyes.

FINANCING THEIR BETRoTHAL.

God keep you safe. my little love.
All through the night
Rest close in his encircling arms.
Until the light.
Ny heart Is with you as I kneel TO pray.
Good night, God keep you in his care al

The reason why a good many men
are backward about proposing is. if
they are fortunate enough to be &C
eepted from that moment their finan-
cial worries begin. This does not dis
concert the rich lover in the least He
regards It as one of the issues of
business. He has no lack OF means,
and can be lavish when he sets his
heart upon gifts or any requirements
of financing.
But for the poor young man who
has only love in his heart to offer.
the dear one he would make his wife
betrothal means a great deal for him
to ponder seriously over. First and
foremost. the problem of the engage
ment ring which he must purchase
causes him many a sleepless hour
Even the poorest girl naturally longs
for a diamond, which she can proudly
look upon as hers in all her after
years. Come what may. il would be
the most sacred link of her welded
life, she fondly concludes. The lovers
talk over the possibility of getting the
golden circlet for her finger. and the
question of what the stone In it shall
be makes their hearts beat quicker.
Her eyes brighten as they light on
his downcast, thoughtful face

But. as for the means he is far and
away from having the required sum.

he would see about it before love. but
when he finds out what the cost really
means OF a pretty. not large. white
stone diamond. nothing that he could
o1er her less than 500, his courage

sinks to the lowest ebD. His pocket
book says no.
There is only one way he resolves
to possess for her the diamond engage
ment ring and that is to manfully add
a number of more working hours
throughout their waiting year and save
up, by every self-denial possible, the
sum. 1t would never do to tell her of
the sacrifice to be made, he well
knew She would in all probability
pout over his many evening absences;
his inability to escort her to some
amusement, or to her girl friends
homes. But, after undergoing all Of
these displeasures he would be near
ing the goal of his ambition and few
would be the wiser.
Not until the betrothal ring, in its
tiny satin box, was handed her, and
the glad cry of ooh, how lovely, dear
esti" fell from her lips did he find
time to breathe out how happy it
made him to present the emblem to
her His worries do not end with the
paying for the ring-he must take her
hither and thither, buy hoops and
tops and marbles for her little brother
to get into that youngsters good
graces, a set of religious books for
the prospective mammain-law, meer-
schaum pipe and so forth for father
From the time it is announced that
he is to marry into the family, her
uncles, cousins and old beaux ap-
pear to expect that he should load
them down with presents-that they
may put in a good word for him. No
wonder some engagements are
stretched out for five years or more.
The prospective bridegroom who can
not hold tight string on his purse is
unable to save enough to wed on.
There's often a sensible reason when
man takes timesto WOO, refraining from
proposing until he has accumulated
sufficient means to stem the betrothal
period.
