All day she hurried to get through,
The same az lots Of wimmen do;
Sometimes at night her husband said
"Ma. amt you goin' to 60 to bedi"
And then she'd kinder give hitch,
And pause halfway between stitch
And sorter sigh. and say that she
Was ready - she'd ever be,
She reckoned;
And so the years went one by one,
And, somehow she was never done );
An when the angel said As how
Mis- Smith, it's time you rested now.
She sorter raised her eyes to look
A second. as stitch she took.

endless term of existence. Col
Iecting dust from year to year, they
were veritable germ hatchers. No one

furbelows of silk and hand painted
flowers and stiff lace that comprised
pincushions. They couldn't be cleaned
When they were worn out they were
thrown away. And the trouble was

cushions themselves were so fat and
pudgy that you couldn't stick a pin
into them II you wanted to. or once
you did fly in the face of tradition and
hammer in a pin 1t was lost forever
in foolish cascades of lace.
All that has changed. Such cushions
are still displayed in the rear of show
cases by hopeful shopkeepers, but none

blurred background for the new pin

different to that, as long as he can sell
US a taffeta petticoat with four yards OF
material in 1t. And, as summer APP
proaches what a chance to "helD the

Another undergarment whose sale Is
increased by the new styles is the bras
siere. When skirts we're tight and blouses

a turn of fortunes wheel makes skirts
floppy and blouses tighter than we have
seen them since the eighties many women
will find themselves obliged to add this
article to their routine of dressing.
Cleverly cut, it can be Of almost any
material nowadays, and is as far re-
moved as other underclothes from the
laced, boned horror like a second corset
or surgical appliance, which was once
all that the shops had to offer in this
line.
The makers have invented many at
tractive novelties in them. using host
of heretofore unthought of materials that
shine forth gayly beneath transparent
blouses; they are crying their wares on
every side, realizing that now is the time
to garner coin while the slim bodice

TO MAKE A SCRAP BASKET

flags and insignia. Where two colors

and applied to the darker linen by but
tonhole stitch.
AS lining for these boxes there
is a finished paper gayly bedecked
with flower patterns. Holly, mistle-
toe. violets. roses and chrysanthemums
stand out from contrasting back
grounds, and they add wonderfully
bright touch as lining not only for
the scrap box but for all the other
pretty dressing table boxes which are
a fad at present
Another handmade scrap box which
deserves to be mentioned with the
new embroidered ones is built of
heavy cream paper laid in regular
narrow folds, like accordion pleating.
The paper is then fastened in trumpet
shape, that Is, flaring out at the top,
to a circular pasteboard bottom. A
dull gold gimp finishes either edge of
the paper and forms scrollwork eff

medallion that Is fastened on at the
middle Of one side. These medallions,
showing quaint, old-fashioned pictures,
can be bought ready for use at any
fancy work counter.
