Many of the niceties of table service
which busy housewives are apt to re-
gard as unnecessary frills are in reality
distinctly savers Of money. time and
labor.
For instance. the custom of using
plate doilies with a centerpiece for two

cloth for the dinner table only, is rec
commended for its common sense as
well as attractiveness. The doilies can
easily be rinsed out whenever 4 spot
appears. and in the season of fresh
fruit a stain on a dolly is not such a
serious matter as the same spot on a
large damask cloth. Small luncheon
cloths. either square or round. barely
reaching the edge of the table. are also
a great saving of larger and more
handsome table linen and enable the
housewife to keep her table immacu-
late with little trouble and expense.
Daintiness and economy are also
achieved by keeping on hand a supply
Of individual paper cases for the serv-
ing of entries or desserts. When un-
expected guests make the quantity OF
some particular dish an embarrassing
proposition these receptacles often save
the day. Every available morsel can be
app%ortioned in these individual cases
and no empty platter be visible as evi-
dence that the supply has been ex
hausted. Moreover, ever the simplest
preparation assumes an air of elegance
when served individually In a paper OF
china case and with an appropriate
garnish.

LEGEND OF MONKEYS.
Indian Folklore Says They Once Tried
to Build Gigantic Bridge.

to Build Gigantic Bridge.
Prince Carl of Sweden and Norway,
when starting out from H~aidarabad, In
dia, on a tiger hunt in 1883. was struck
by the scenery around the city, where
the undulating ground is strewed with
huge blocks of stone, 'as if they had
been tossed hither and thither by II a
ture in some capricous mood"
Some of the blocks are piled upon
each other in such a as to
cause a lively imagination to fancy
them giants barring the way.
According to Indian folklore. these
blocks were brought hither some 1000
years ago in this manner
The monkeys, which in the earliest
times in great numbers inhabited the
lands beyond the Himalayas, seized
on the remarkable idea of building a
bridge between the mainland and Cey-
Ion, and. headed by their leaders, they
left their settlements for the south,
carrying with them from their noun
tains materials for their gigantic
bridge. But the road became too long
for them, and they were obliged on
reaching the spot where Haidarabad
now stands to throw their loads away,
and here they lie today.

they had not far to go to reach each

perpetual slumber.
, One day Johnny showed signs Of
waking. For a week there was hope
that he would do so, but those about
him had been so often disappointed
that they had lost confidence I'm his
recovery. But he did awaken, and
when he came to himself he was
alone.
He lay for some time, after becoming
conscious, with closed eyes, thinking
of his sufferings "the night before"
as he supposed it was. and feeling
much relieved to be out of pain. Then
he attempted to turn on his other side.
He was surprised to find himself very
weak. Lying in bed without using
his muscles had taken his strength.
While on his back he opened his eyes,
still seeing nothing but the ceiling.

There was silence for some time

Johns brain. Then he asked a dozen
questions so rapidly that his mother
found difficulty in answering n be-
fore another came forth. Finally he
pointed to the girl, who seemed as

"A trace only" replied John. "You

Mrs. Hoxey said she must go and
call the doctor at once. John must not
get excited and take no action what
ever till the doctor had seer him and
given directions concerning him.
John obeyed the first Injunction, but

drew her to a seat beside him.

STRAIGHT GIRDLES FAVORED.
And the Problem Of the Woman With q
Large Waist 10 A~ccentuated.


The newest designs that have been
sem over from Paris as forerunners
Of the summer styles show a marked
tendency to straight girdles passed
around the figure directly at the line
where the old waist used to be before
we allowed the natural ~largeness of
the figure to have Its fullest develop
ment there. These belts could not be
worn with the frock or skirt and sepa-
rate blouse that shows n small decrease
Of size between the bust and hips.
White or light. muslin fe0cks have
a belt Of three inch black velvet rib
bon which is a decided return to the
days when small waists were in fash
Ion. The empire line Is also accentu-
ated In evening frocks and short jack
cts. but n does not yet see it on day
frocks. The individualist may try it
out. but the average dressmaker is
content to work out the return to the
normal waist. 6
You may think that the problem Of
the women who must get a small waist
is the more difficult one, as flesh has
a way Of remaining where 1t has gain
ed a strong hold, but after all the cor
setiere faces the worst Of the work.
Unless she knows how skillfully to
handle the shaping Of a corset and
can contrive to give 1t a flexible APP
pearance ut the normal waist line, the
work Of the dressmaker is In vain
n b task Of the woman who wants
a small waist Is almost impossible.
Again has n body blow been dealt the
woman who is stout? The large waist
line was her hope to be fashionable,
and II 1t is taken away what will she
do to be rightly dressed?

Good Form Hints.

Politeness has well been called the
kindness OF small things.
Those who are kindest in their judg-
ment are generally the least unjust.
Negligence is the rust of the soul
that corrodes through all its best reso-
buttons.
She who receives a good turn should
never forget IT.: she who does one
should never remember it.
1t is impotence that breaks the ma
chinery of life.
Better to suffer without cause than
to be the cause Of suffering to others.

Materials For Making Them and Their
Fashioning.

fashioning.
Sash curtains should be measured
from the top of the inside of the win
dow easement to the sill, allowing two
inches at the top and bottom. The top
is turned and stitched through the CEN
ter, which allows for a small heading
and the casing for the brass rod. The
hem Is turned in at the bottom. so that
the curtains just escape the sill.
The curtains may be perfectly plain
or finished with a lace edging. A mar
row gimp braid is sometimes used as
a finish for sash curtains. The French
striped net or brussels net is always
nice.
Scrim and a quality of wolfe made
for curtain purposes are also used. es-

terial than net is desired.
