Useful Shelves and
Boxes Made at Home

Think of the convenience you can have
in your bedroom if You only know how
to make them yourself-the hanging
shoebox, the little wall cupboard for
medicines and toilet articles. the low
stool Nhat you need when putting on
shoes. tNe small shelf for books, the box
divan, etc.
An effective and most useful shoe
box is made in this simple manner:
Go to a country store or to a small
city one and ask for a window-sh
box. 1t will be as long as the shade
is wide and deep enough to hold dozen
pairs of shoes and slippers II set in
sidewise. Stain the box in the color
that suits your room and fit the top Of
the opening with a little brass curtain
rod of the telescope sort Then get q
wee bit of fowered cotton-in the box
and room colors. OF course-hem Il top
and bottom. sew rings to it. and after
passing these over the rod securely
fasten this to the box with the little
gilt tacks that come with II.
The curtain should have an opening
at the middle for convenience. so It Is
best made of two pieces of the cotton.
Finally. bore four holes in the top of
the, box. two at either end, slip a stout
picture wire through them and hang the
convenience from a picture hanger over
the wall molding.
The little square box in which the
grocer gets his canned milk will mako
a good medicine chest. and he will sell
this as cheaply as the window shade
box is sold-for cents. without a doubt
Try to get a box with a rather perfect
cover. and hinge this on one side, max
ing 1t door and keeping It in place with
little snap lock. An understrip, fas-
tened to the lock side of the box will
keep the fastening tighter and prevent
dust from getting In. Cleats for three
shelves can be put inside. after measur-
ing the spaces and marking them with
pencil so that they will be evenly balanc-
ed. and If there is nothing better in the
house for shelving than stout PASTE
board use two thicknesses Of this for
each shelf
Stain or paint the little cabinet to har-
monize with the wall covering, but II
the shelves are Of the cardboard remem-
Der that they will not hold the very
heavy bottles. These are best set upon
the shelf formed by the bottom of the
box. and II they are all tall provision
for them must be made In the neasur-
ing of of the spaces for the other
shelves.
Always put on hinges with screws and
not nails. And practice the wonderful
and beautiful art Of driving a nah or
tack straight before you begin the fur
niture. Practice makes perfect. as the
copybook saying is. And everything
made makes the home a dearer place.

Easily the best and most artistic bill
Of the season Is being presented at the
Cosmos Theater this week. headed by
the Moskovia Balalaika Orchestra, with
Mile. Olga and NJ. Nicolai in interpre-
tive and artistic terpsichorean features

classics and very beautiful, especially

the dancers, include Fomin's March
Concourse." Schubert's Moment Musi-
CAL" Mascagnrs intermezzo from "Caval-
leria Rusticana." p. Linke's Beautiful

of Mile Olga is graceful and beautiful
and shared honors with the orchestra in
the applause. The remaining numbers of
the bill are novel and entertaining, espe-
cially the modern dancing of Ross and
Moon, whose work in its way stands out
prominently as well for Its novelty as
for its artistic execution. Blssett ana
Wilson in songs and dances also have
some dance features that won mertted
applause. The bill opens with the water

THE WOMAN AND HER NAME.

If you are of the old school YOU
have probably been a little bit sur.
prised, and mayhap a little shocked
to see that the Speakers charming
daughter since her marriage has not
infrequently permitted her name to
be written Mrs. Genevieve Champ
Clark Thomson OF course, some
times it is written in the old-stylc
conventional manner, Mrs. James
Thomson, but, we understand, there
is not the slightest objection on the
part of the James Thomsons them
selves to the other designation.
And it is much more convenient
and pertinent. In every ones mind
the Speakers daughter is still Gene
We've Champ Clark. 1nvoluntarily,
when we see her our minds will asso-
ciate that name with her identity. 1t
is in her case as it is in the case of
every other woman whose personal
ity stood cut strongly before mar
riage. So, why not strike this COM
promise and call her Mrs. Gcnevieve
Clark Thomson
More and more women are retain
ing their maiden" names after mar
riage, though the time was not long
ago when even widows felt certain
timidity in so doing. 1t seemed to
loyalty, a lack OF complete devotion
to the man whose family name they
had taken. 1t savored much of the
grass" widow. the divorcee whose
marital responsibilities had weighed
but lightly. And then, the "antis"
tell us, it is trick of the suffragists,
and that alone for some women is
reason enough not to do it.
That the sense of smell is sadly
neglected is an opinion expressed
every once in a while by those who
pride themselves on highly cultiva-
ted alfactory faculty. Just the other
day perfumer complained about the
lack of appreciation of the pleasures
of smell, especially among Americans.
Well, for our own part, we are glad
that Americans are lacking in the
cultivation of this most neglected OF
the senses. We are especially thank
full that the men Of our race and coun-
try almost entirely neglect the use
OF perfumes.
The pcrfumer. who is making the
complaint, points out the fact that,
while We cultivate the sense of sound,
touch, taste, to a certain degree, and
the sense of sight, we leave that OF
smelling practically uncultivatcd.
Well, there is this diffcrence-that the
man or woman who INDUCES her ap-
probation OF odors by wearing per-
fumes necessarily inhicts these odors
on all who come near her. Even the
woman who wears bright and clas
ing colors docs not do this. For VIC
can look away-but there is no way

GERMANS RENEW ATTACKS ON
BRITISH HOLDING HILL NO. SO

London. April %, 11.3O a. m.-There
was given out in London this morning
the regular semi-weekly report on
conditions at the front. 1t is dated
April 20 and reads as follows:
THE German attacks on Hill No.
60, which had stopped at the time Of
issuing the report of last Monday.
have been renewed several times.
These attacks all failed, and for the
time being they have ceased. We hold
the entire crest Of the hill and so deny
its use to the enemy, who have at
tached great importance to it.
There is not and there never has
been any truth in the German official
communication that the enemy had
recaptured this position. During the
course Of the operations around Hill
No. so. the enemy fired shells seven
teen inches in diameter into the town
Of Ypres.
ION April 21, in the neighborhood Of
La Bassee, the enemy exploded two
mines opposite our right. They fail
ed to damage our trenches. Having
discovered German mining operations
in the neighborhood Of lie Touquet,
near Armantieres, we forestalled their
effort this morning by exploding a
mine which we had prepared there.
