IDEAL FOR SUMMER HOUSE
Most Attractive Table Is One Covered
With Chintz and Fitted With
Plate Glass Top.

For the well-appointed summer
house, table covered with chintz and
fitted with plate glass top is exceed
ingly attractive. This is very expensive
if ordered from a professional decora-
tor; but if you buy the chintz yourself,
fit it to your table and have the glass
cut to measure, the cost will be much
less and the effect quite as pleasing.
Another device for an inexpensiveiy
furnished country house is the trans
formed kitchen table. A cheap kitch-
en- table can be treated in variety OF
ways to make an attractive bedside or
writing table for the guest chamber.
One that l have seen, for green and
white bedroom, had the legs sawed OF
to a convenient length and was painted
an apple green. Over the top was
stretched-and tackled on the under
side-a cover of green denim; on the
top of this was set a large green writ
ing blotter, a rack for note paper and
a green pottery ink well. The result
was a pretty and original writing ia
BILE at cost of two dollars and half.
A kitchen table painted white and
decorated to match the chintz or wall
paper is attractive; but this demands
some skill with the brush.

when done cut in halves and frost
with orange frosting.
Frosting of three eggs, one
orange juice and grated peel and
powdered sugar to make stiff enough
to spread This cake is not good I'M
til the day after making. Be sure to
use bread flour. Frosting may be made
without whites of eggs.

Prevent soifed comforters.

for woman to attempt. So here is
my plan for keeping them clean: The
end used at the head of the bed and
which always becomes soiled l cover
with width of the same goods as the
comforter is made of, allowing half the
width to come on top and half ON un-
der side. BY cutting the edge in seal

they are quite pretty. These strips
can be taken off end washed when
soiled and replaced again, thereby
saving the washing Of the comforter.

SeIf-Examination.

D. L. Moody said: When a man or
a woman gets a good look in Gods
looking glass he isn't finding fault with
other people; he has as much as he
can do at home" AS a rule the per
son who can see most faults in other
people is fully supplied with them
himself. 1t is not expected that one
will never criticize another. but it is
the fault that should be criticized and
not the person. If it Is the latter, then
prejudice takes the place of judgment;
and so often is this the case. 1t is a
good test of another's religion whether
one denounces the wrong or the
wrongdoer. but upon this test there
would be great deal of so-called re-
ligion condemned. To reject the sin
Is not to hate the sinner, for indeed the
sinner may come honestly by his sin
as you do by your goodness. So
never be angry with the man you dis
agree with, for he is hardly respon
sible for his opinion. and he may be
right, or at least you may be wrong -
