CLOSED DOORWAYS.
Attractive Bookcases May Be Built
late These Alcoves.

A closed doorway makes a very nice
frame for a bookcase or b~ric-a-brac
shelf. The door should be covered
with burlap and hen the shelves built
into the jamb. With good brncing
these may be rounded on TO make
them deeper than the ordinary door
frame would allow for. When finished
the shelves may. be stained or enani-
eled To correspond with the other
woodwork in the room.
Sometimes there is an arched niche
an old fashioned house. There may or
may not be a stationary washstand in
this niche. If there Is not built in
shelves Will make a desirable book
case or dressing table In the latter
case one shelf should be made at the
usual height of a bureau or table. one
lower than this can be hidden by n ere
tonne curtain gathered TO the shelf
above. A looking glass in the niche
above. which should, by the way, be
papered in white or II plain pale tint,
will complete a very attractive corner.
Sometimes such a niche is large
enough to accommodate n desk. In this
case several roomy shelves can be built
in above. or a hanging bookshelf can
be bought to place there. Again. the
niche can be made into n coy seat by
the aid of a homemade bench and
some cushions. In this case a shelf
above. high enough to escape the head.
will make a fitting place for photo
graphs or ornaments and books. The
walls between the shelf and the seat
should be covered with burlap or
plain cretonne.

RELAY TEAM CARRIES JEWS.
Paper Boys at kaIamata, Greece, Use
This Means.

Imagine American boys assembling
in relay teams to deliver newspapers!
At Kalamata, in Greece, this is the
method that obtains for delivering
morning newspapers.
The main square in Kalamata, where
the newspapers are sold, is a full half
mile from the railway station. Keen
rivalry exists between the carriers Of
the. various papers, and from the mo-
ment the train arrives there is q great
contest to be the first to place the pa
pers ON the stands at the square.
Relay teams Of newsies have been
organized, and these accomplish the
delivery of papers in a little more than
two minutes, each member racing with
a bundle of papers a short distance,
and then passing his burden into the
hands of the next rune
The race is the subject of much in
terest among the townspeople, who
like the spirit Of the boys.

s Over From Belgium :
By ALBERT A. BRILL :


age ticket on an outgoing steamer to
New York.
On the arrival of the vessel the emf
grants were landed at Ellis island. and
Wilhelmina among others was brought
before the emigration commissioners.
There she was asked how she would
be provided for in America, and when
she said that she had no money she
was told that she would be sent back
to Holland.
Her modesty. the consciousness that
she was coming to marry a nan with
out a special bidding, had caused her
to conceal what she expected. Be
sides. suppose Hans had changed!
But the prospect of being sent back
to a land running in blood. where even
the little home In which she had been
born and always lived had been level
ed, overcame her reticence, and she
told a love story that nc pen, however
inspired, could put on paper.
Hans must be found!'
Such were the instructions given to
a messenger. who departed OF his err
rand
There is a committee of Belgians in
New York whose purpose it Is to look
after their incoming fellow country
men. The head Of the committee was
found and started a hunt for Hans.
Ever since the war had broken out
Hans had been anxious about his VIII
helmina. He had not dared to send her
his savings for fear they would be lost.
Hans was at work one afternoon
when a fellow workman came to him
and told him that the boss wished to
see him In the office. Hans laid down
his tools and reported as directed. He
found beside the boss a man, who ask
ed him:
Are you Hans Wichtel?"

PETTIC0ATS FOR SPRING.
The Advent Of the Circular Skirt Likely
to Make Attractive Models Popular.

~ WdNS - fOaGf V0PotdTs
The change toward the fuller skirt
in suits and dresses will give an i'm
petus to the distribution of ~petticoats
during the coming spring says the
Dry Goods Economist.
THE new dress skirts are sufficiently
full to fly out at the ankles, thus show
ing the petticoat. This will create a
demand for more expensive models
and a revival of the call for exclusive
styles. The circular skirts of many of
the new dresses have a fare finish,
brought about by the use of slightly
stlffened inteHinings in the hem. This
being the case 1t is safe TO assume
that the spring season will show a
marked demand for taffeta petticoats.
as such garments. being made of the
dress skirt to some extent.
Combinations of taffeta and mes
saline or of taffeta and satin are a
compromise for the more conservative
in case they continue to prefe-
skirts which fit closely :" the waist
line to the knees.
"Plaited flounces are not pressed as
fiat ms they formerly WERE, as it Is es-
sential that the lower edge of the pet
ticoat stand out, at least to a limited
extent. For wear with the new style
dresses petticoats having the gathered
fiounces are expected to win favor on
account OF their extra fullness."

Girls Make Willow Beds.

Chicago girls prlcticed a new handi-
craft at their campfire camp last
summer. They made Indian willow
beds according TO directions furnished
by Ernest Thompson Seton in his
Book of Woodcraft.' They cut and
peeled seventy willow twigs ~thirty-two
inches long and notched them at the
ends. Then they bound them together
with heavy Irvine and fastened them
to a framework of heavier boughs.
When the work was complete two
campfire honor beads were awarded
to each craftsman. Another Indian bed
was made on the ground by arranging
layers Of leaves at the bottom and lay
ing hemlock boughs upon them.

SOLDIERS SECOND COURAGE.
Physician Finds II Comes After First
Fear Is Conquered.

rear - OoHQueFous
An English officer who has been
making a study of the psychology of
courage" at the British front says that
most men confess to a feeling Of fear.
which wears off only after several
days In the trenches. ~
But once this instinct of terror Is
conquered there comes" says the med
ical man, "a second courage, which,
while not despising danger, is able to
discount II. Under fire these men find
a self hitherto unsupported, an elusive
quality which for want Of a better title
is called manhood.
"rhe soldier learns first to control,
then to measure his fear. He learns to
discount possibilities just as the ordi-
nary railroad traveller does. And the
work in hand generally engages and
holds more and more of his attention.
Then comes a time when he wants to
go back to the firing line not because
it is pleasant there. but because stay
ing away seems impossible.
1.-The man who has not been under
fire can count ON soon achieving the
second courage, which is the priceless
possession Of the veteran"
