PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS
Small Things of Dress Are What Give
Perfection &c the Costume as
Whole.

IL seems superfluous to say that the
perfection of the details in dress make
for its complete success more than the
mere dress itself Yet it must be
owned that many forget this. and ii is
not unusual TO see pretty. we'll
dressed woman fail TO look at her best
because her shoes. her gloves or the
dressing of her hair are not what they
might have been. Even in these days,
when no one cares much about clothes,
personal appearance has 10 count. and
it is nothing TO be ashamed Of
Paris is filled with women dressed
IN navy blue. The amazing thing is
that the people do not get tired of It.
/. is to the wardrobe what bread is
TO the larder. Its possibilities for COM
plpte dowdiness and unequaled smart
mss have no limit 1t can be the most
correct thing in the world and one of
the most incorrect. You see a woman
OF irreproachable distinction in a blue
tailor-made. and you see a young per-
son in something very like ii and the
effect is entirely different. Both can
be cutie nice TO look at, and which
you like best depends upon your point
OF view. like most other things.

MIGHTY POWER OF LOVE
Great Truth in Words Which Emer-
son is Put on Record as
Having Spoken.

IL was Emerson who said. AN &C
ceptance of the sentiment OF love
throughout Christendom for a season
would bring the felon and the outcast
to our side in tears, with the devotion
of his faculties to our service. Love
would put a new face on this weary
old world, in which we dwell as pa
gans and enemies too long, and 1t
would warm the heart to see how fast
the vain diplomacy of statesmen. the
impotence of armies and navies and
lines of defense, would be superseded
by this unarmed child" Alas that
the sentiment has not been accepted
but instead the world and the indi
vidual have been laying their plans,
and directing their action. by calcu-
lation of chances which, of course.
can be no bigger than the human
mind that does the calculating. That
love has not been tried is proved
by the collapse of commercial civil
cation, but the things Of commerce
and Gof calculation perish. while the
sentiment of love endures, because 1t
is of God. and being of God. is sure
in the end to triumph.-Universalist
Leader.

BEST KIND OF TABLE COVER
In This. Housewife May Find a SoIu-
tion of Something That Has Been
Trouble to Her.

II you are like most housekeepers.
you have a number of little tables
about the house which are always
needing clean covers. Usually. one
doesn't like 10 use embroidered CEN
terpieces and doilies for the purpose.
for these little tables are more than
likely used as stands for plants or
are little catch-alls which make them
rather trying household children to
keep clean. An excellent ISOLATION in
the way Of little table dresses is the
plain linen cover ornamented with a
colored edge. Natural colored, oyster
or white linen may be used or even
gray linen cali depending upon the use
OF the little table,. and then the edge
is bound with linen or heavy muslin OF
any color that you prefer The bind

sonable amount OF care in the wash

RUGS FROM WASH DRESSES
Pretty and inexpensive Articles May
Be Made IF Little Thought
Is Used.

Pretty and inexpensive rugs can be
made for bathrooms and also bed
rooms from old percale dresses that
have no further use as wearing ap-
parel.
The pretty blues and pinks make the
most attractive rugs. The only expense
is to purchase a wooden needle. Mine
is ten inches long and thicker than a
lead pencil.
The rags should be cut and not torn
to avoid the thread hanging. They
should be cut three-quarters of an inch
wide and sewed together just as rags
for an old-fashioned rag carpet.
Crochet a chain OF several stitches
and make in this way center, and
then knit around and around, throw
ing your thread (which is the rag)
over before putting the needle through
the chain. You must put in two stitch
es to keep it from drawing up like a
poke. Put your needle through the
back part Of the stitch and use your
taste in knitting the colors and finish
with an edge like an old-fashioned
tidy.

NEAT WORK BASKET
SUITABLE FOR HOLDING THE
SEWING MATERIALS
May Easily be Made From a Card
board Box-Pockets on Two Sides
Furnish Additional Accommo-
datons for the Sewer.

Work baskets suitable for holding
sewing materials for porch or lawn
use can be made at home from short
remnant of cretonne or art ticking.
Half yard will be ample if one must
buy goods. In all probability there
will be scraps available for the pur-
pose on hand.
The foundation of the sewing
basket is a cardboard box about nine
inches square and three or four inches
high. These can be had for the ask
ing at any small dry goods store.
The outside is entirely covered with
the chosen material, carefully pasting
it down, and then the same is done
upon the inside, but not necessarily
with the same goods. The basket is
fitted upon two sides with pockets
drawn up on narrow elastic to hold
thread, thimble and other odds and
ends, while little bolster-like pincush-
ions are sewed to the opposite sides.
Lastly high handle about y inches
wide is cut from strong cardboard
and covered with the cretonne. A
couple of good paper fasteners will
secure the handle to the basket. If
the handle is made quite high it will
conveniently carry over the arm. The
sewing on hand can be folded and
placed in the bottom of the basket
This is a very dainty affair even
though it is home made and should
add to the attractive picture a pretty
girl always makes when occupied in
sewing
More prosaic, but Just as useful, is
the sewing bag of cretonne. This is
just an ordinary bag made any desired
size, but instead of finishing the top
with drawstring, it is hemmed over
an oval embroidery hoop. This kind
of bag is convenient in that it can
lie rolled up or twisted around with
out injury. A thick cord makes the
best kind of handles, if any at all
are thought necessary.
To my thinking this style of bag is
good for soiled linen; the mouth be.
ing large makes it much more con-

oval buttons are used, an oval frame

would be diamond-shaped frame, and
so on. Therefore. Y design OF the

ture Of the design TO be worked on
