E TRIPLES THAT MAKE UP LIFE.

The gimp is torn from tho arm of that lounging chair. You probably re- marked 1t uneonsciously some time ago and meant to have tho tack put in which would hold tho trimming in place. but it slipped your mind. The fringeis ripped from the end of the rug. The piece hang ing loose Is only 0 couple of inches in length, but it gives an untidy appearance to that part of the room.
 A bit of the moulding Ia missing from the back of the sofa. It came loose weeks ago and for fear IL might be lost you put 1t away with the piece broken out of the lip of tho big vase and the caster of tho armchair. They are all there in tho drawer together and you have thought q dozen times you would have them all replaced and then the matter had drifted from your attention. Take heed of them now and sec what a difference the alter ations will make i'll the general aspect and cheer of the room. uH
 would not be speaking all my heart pl t4tAH hbRi1 1T dtttAi tAAAAi cts NahfA tstt@7 terial things. All these arc of importance. but there is something more besides. oth- CT apparent trlfes exist which make or mar the comfort of the family as much as though these were things which had todo with the substantial plenlshing and it's care Tn fact. I believe they have moro result in reference to the happiness of the household than any of the minuti@ have mentioned.
 Little enough such details may seerll-- the kindly word of greeting, the repression of the harsh word. the smile instead of the frown-but all carry weight When 1t comes to the wee considerations. there is no end to them and to their effect
 It may not seem much to lay the morn- ing or the evening paper where the man of the house will always find 1t as soon as he oomes into the room; to refrain from tearing the wrapper off tho magazine of the ono who prefers to openlt for himself: to recollect the taste of this or that mem ber of the family in the line of food and give him some little dainty he will enjoy when his appetite seems languld; to avoid the subjects likely to provoke unpleasant controversy when the dlsputatious repre- sentative of the household Is tired: to re- member the preferences of another in the way of dress and wear. the colors he ap- proves when he comes home weary after hard day at the office; but all these and numberless other little offices of love and tenderness mark the home that Is really a home and not merely an abiding place.
 The mother sets tho pace for all this sort of thing. Occasionally one may sec a father supplied with this gentle consid- eration. but as rule the children turn to the mother for the example which will guide them in rendering the home happy and beloved spot. The care of tho ma terial trihes is much, but who will daro say that the immaterial items are less important?

back to the wall and count Ave and twenty. looking about you as you count"
 When the farmers widow followed this advice she saw many things She no- ticed that tho servants were neglecting their work, that nothing was clean or we'll cared for: that the milk and cream and butter did not receive due attention; that tho cattle were not fed, the meat not cured, tho crops not stored. that mice were in the granary, rats in the corn crib. and weases in the poultry yard. By the time she had righted these abuses prosperity had returned to the domain.
 Something like this 1t is well for every housekeeper to do, and whlle she need not take her stand in the corner of each room and count five and twenty she is wise if she inspects every branch of her home, no matter how small it may be. end strives to discover what breaks or leaks there may be which change her housekeeping from u thing of beauty and joy to a makeshift. careless affair.
 Look into your linen closet, for instance. l have already spoken of the breaks in the dining room napery. Seek for the same in your bed linen and among your towels. If you do your own ironing l hope you are on the alert for every sign of giving way and lay aside the injured article to be repaired al your leisure. Unless you do this you should bestow especial attention upon the clean clothes when they are sent up from the wash. to see if the sheets O pillowsllps have been torn on the line, the hemstitched edge of the towels ripped loose, the coun- terpanes rust stained or ragged.
 Even when these articles are past re- pairing they have many possibilities in the way of turning and making smaller if they arc sheets, of cutting over into washcloths if they are towels, of making into cloths to lay under fish, potatoes. and hot bread if they are linen napkins or tablecloths. All these may seem like triiles, but it Is astonishing to what a goodly sum total they amount when taken in bulk.

I'll never let another opportunity slip by; instead I'll go and look them up. No doubt the little woman of whom you wrote to me would have been glad of clothes for her children or of a blanket or a quilt. and if one could only get in touch
 with people who lay aside garments when these are hardly worn, how it would help. I sent each of the correspondents whose names you gave a pattern and a list to select from, and sent each the others address with the request that as they receive patterns to copy they would ex- change them. That saves me having to copy the same second time and helps them to help each other. You see I am busy.

Are you on the look out for the first breaks in your napery. to set the stitch in time. or do you neglect the tiny holes until they are so large that the repairing will be painfully ob- vious? Do you watch for the giving away of the hemstitching in your napkins and doilies and catch this up before it has a chance to spread?
 These may seem almost too insignifi- cant items to be noted, but, believe me, that when you attend to these your house. keeping is even threaded and efficient; when you overlook them a certain sloven- liness marks the establishment.
 If you keep a maid, go into your kitch- en at night after she has left 1t and ob- serve the details which would make the kitchen attractive if they were needed, that mark it with the stamp of untidl- ness if omitted.
 Is the garbage pail lined with a paper which protects the metal from the food and renders cleanliness and a sanitary condition more easily won? Are the doors of the ice box and of the meat safe close ly shut or are they crack ajar. and do the drawers of the table gape open? Is the stove clean and well blacked, free from drippings of the cooking? Are the burnt matches used in lighting the stove conspicuous by their absence, or are they dropped on the floor or thrown on the win dow sill?
 Have the leaves and the grounds been turned from the tea and coffee pots and have these been scalded and rinsed prop erly? Is there any food left about the room? Is the kitchen tablecloth folded and laid away or left huddled on the shelf or hung on the back of a chair? Are the kitchen towels washed and put to dry? Has the sink been emptied and washed and are all the utensils used in cooking the dinner cleaned and returned to their places?

ffr seems hard that tho little things - one wants are the things that one
 can't have" said friend to me.
 ' Now if yearned for trip to
 Europe or steam yacht or seven passenger limousine I could console my self with the thought that it was foolish to have such extravagant ambitions. But it's the little things 1 would like that 1t stirs me up not to be able to get.
 For instance, I'd like to be free to lie abed ten or fifteen minutes later in the morning when I'm sleepy without feel ing that everything in the house Is at s standstill until I get up. I'd like to have some one play the piano in the afternoon when I go to take nap-not a magnifi- cent performer, but some one who knew pretty, soft pieces of music and would just keep on at them until drowsed off. I'd like have some one read aloud to me when I couldn't sleep, and rub my head when 1t ached. and stroke my wrist when I'm nervous. I'd dearly like to have some one see that the ruffie and frills at the necks of my dresses were always fresh end the buttons on my shoes and my gloves mended.
 "You see, none of the things is big or important, but they might as well be colossal. for all the chance there is of my having them. Yet it doesn't seem really unreasonable to want any of them. does it?"
 I agreed with her that her desires were certainly modest enough to be readily fulfilled, and after she had gone I unused along the line she had started. So many of the important comforts of life are de- pendent upon little things and so much malease is caused by the omission of trifles. especially in various departments of housekeeping
 I have known times when my appetite has been affected seriously by spot by my place at the table. In fact, spots on the tablecloth in a restaurant or hotel usually banish my desire for food effec- tually. Yet it would be easy to lay clean napkin over the stains and hide them froni-v view if the cloth itself could not be changed.
 Other details exist in which care or in- attention makes all the difference in the world. Like my friend, I feel that I could stand neglect of these things better if they involved hard work or large ex- penses, but in the majority of cases they are of apparently diminutive importance.
 Look about you in your own house and take account of the trifies. As one small example. do you lay napkin or cloth under the hot potatoes in the dish, a nap kin or dolly under and around the hot biscuit or mullins sent to table? Do you know that the contact of the heated food with the cold plate causes deposit of moisture from the steam and renders the potatoes or bread soggy? Arc the plates on which warm food is to be served heated before they are brought in, and are the platter and the vegetable dishes made hot before using?
 As another example do you show pains
