FOR THE SEWING ROOM.
Hints For Women Who Do Their Own
Family Sewing.

Family Sewing.
A chiffonier or bureau in the sewing
room will be found Indispensable. One
drawer is used for the stock room, and
the small wares are kept therein; one
is for patterns. one for pieces to use
for patching and mending and one for
clothing to be mended or fixed over.
An old iron incaSed in a two pound
sugar bag is just the thing to hold
your work while sewing. 1t takes the
place of the old fashioned bird that is
seen sometimes.
If the pins are kept in deep saucer
one can pick them up or throw them
down easily when fitting dress.
Take a board of the desired length
and width and drive a number OF
nails through two inches apart. These
will hold the spools Of thread. The
numbers can be quickly seen, and
there will be no tangling with the scis-
sors.
Cream jars are excellent for but
tons, as they can be classified and
easily distinguished therein.
An old sheet spread on the floor will
catch all threads and can be easily
shaken, leaving the room tidy with no
exertion.

Salatea For Frocks.

It IS astonishing to note that gala
tea Is being used in dresses for grown
ups. Hitherto it was confined to dress
es for the schoolgirl and little tot, but
at the present time it Is also adapted
for mother. 1t is shown in plain col
ors, such as blue. green. rose and white.
and often trimmed with pique or
combining fabric. Other models are
shown in striped effects, the founda-
ton being white and the stripe in color.
One particularly attractive dress was
seen recently. the colors being blue
and white. The arrangement Of the
stripes affords q novel detail. The odd
fat collar with fiat satin tie and deep
cuffs are Of white pique. The broad
brimmed hat and high button boots ere
details of interest. A gown Of this
type is especially useful for morning
and informal wear. Galatea Is an ex-
cellent fabric for use In MILDLY blouses
and sports skirts, because 1t has suffi-
cient body to avoid getting crumpled.
1t Is also very suitable for simple
sports suits, where the skirt Is two
pieced model and the coat box cut.
which Is belted at the waist line. With
appropriate hat and shoes a suit or
this type proves an ideal and practical
summer outfit. AS tub" frock, that
Is so Indispensable during the summer
months, there is nothing to equal the
shirt waist dress of galatea in plain or
striped effect.

Size of the Ark.

In Genesis vi, 10, we have the meas.
ure Of the ark to be as follows: ''The
length of the ark shall be 800 cubits,
the breadth of it so cubits and the
height of it 80 cubits." We find that
authorities differ somewhat as to the
exact length of a cubit 1t may be
from eighteen inches to twenty-one
inches. If we take twenty inches as
the length of a cubit the ark would
measure 500 feet by SO 1-3 feet by SO
feet. A slight variation, one way OF
the other, will make no material differ.

PUNISH TO EDUCATE.
Parents Should Never Act on Impulse
of Moment.

of Moment.
Never punish child on the impulse
of the moment. The correcting of lit
tie child is a very serious matter-a
matter to be thought over earnestly
and Of you are the kind that prays)
even prayerfully. Always keep in mind
that true punishment is not revenge;
neither IS ii vindication nor retaliation
1T is, or should be. nothing more or
less than education. The time for pun
ishment affords you an invaluable op-
portunity to teach a youngster but one
Of the many. many lessons of life it
must learn.
Therefore 1t is extremely important
that you do not punish a child when
you are angry. In anger you will more
than likely be unjust and also too
severe. In anger you are in a fair way
to lose your own respect and the child's.
See that the punishment fits the fault
and that 1t has within it the power to
teach the difference between right and
wrong in the particular instance under
consideration.

HOMEMADE CkRAMELS.
No Reason Why One Should Not Be
Successful With Them.


Successful With Them.
To make chocolate caramels take a
quarter pound of grated chocolate, three
ounces of butter, three-fourths pound
of sugar, one gill of milk, two good
dessert spoonfuls Of syrup. a small
dessert spoonful of glucose. half a tea
spoonful of vanilla essence. Put every
thing except the vanilla into pan,
and dissolve over a slow fire. Boil to
246 or 24S degrees, take off the fire
and add the vanilla essence. and turn
into q we'll creased tin. Mark with
knife when set and cut into squares
and wrap each in wax paper.
The tin should be creased with oil or
clarified butter-i. e.. butter that has
been put into q pan and heated and
the scum taken off as it rises.
Molasses candy CcaraneD is made Of
three fourths of a pound of sugar, a
quarter of pound of butter, one and
half pints of milk. two tablespoonful OF
molasses. Melt the butter and sugar in
a saucepan, then add the strip and
milk, and boil, stirring till it leaves the
sides of the pan clear. Pour on to a
buttered plate and when nearly cold
cut into squares and wrap each in wax
paper. If thermometer is used 1t
should boil to 252 degrees. Ten to If
teen drops Of vanilla can be added, II

STYLE TIPS.
One 10 Rows of Silk Stitch
ina Used AZ Trimming.

Just one whisper today about the
new modes for fall Paris openings are
over, and the autumn styles are pretty
well settled-the Paris styles, that Is
American women do not always abide
by these styles.
They look over the new modes and
select those that appeal to them most,
discarding others, and presently the
selected modes appear with miraculous
swiftness in the shops for everybody to
buy. But there are two or three salient
features in the Paris styles that cannot
be disregarded, even thus early, for
their repetition by one couturier after
another foretells their sure Importance
as winter style features.
One of these is silk stitching used as
q trimming. The Paris frocks and
coats are fitted by many seams and
darts, all stitched conspicuously in more
or less fanciful effect. Pocket flaps,
cuffs, revers-they are all garnished
with silk stitching, and skirts and
tunics have often a score or more OF
rows of this stitchery, done on the ma
chine in effective chain stitch.
Alpaca is a surprise for the coming
season. Both alpaca and mohair are
being used by some of the couturiers In
tailored frocks for day wear. Some of
these models are appealingly chic, as,
for instance, a sample frock Of black
twilled alpaca with a full overskirt
pressed into little box plaits and fall
ing almost to the edge of plain foun-
dalton skirt. This frock has a button
in back bodice with long, close sleeves
and one of the enormous japanese col
lars that are to be the rage without
doubt. The bodice is loose, fiat at back
and front and plated into the waist at
the sides. 1t is attached with stitch
ed seam to the box plated overskirt.
little tabs in the bodice extending down
over the plaits to emphasize the long
wasted effect. Under this moyen age
bodice is a foundation fitted to the
waist line and stiffened to insure
trimness, though the outer button in
back bodice is loose rather than close
fitting.
Silks for formal frocks and evening
frocks, of course, and Paris whispers
that satins and satin surfaced silks
will be most i'm favor. OF these new
silk called soiree Is exquisitely beauti-
full in its lights and shades of color,
most enchanting silk for evening gowns
Of distinction. Worth and Jenny have
brought out stunning gowns in velvet,
the Jenny model a slip over the head
affair distinctly novel, with bands Of
Belgian hare for trimming. Very dis
tinguished is an afternoon gown by
Premet made of navy blue charmeuse,
with a good deal of black chantilly
lace draped airily in the bodice and a
big japanese collar of navy blue NOUS
seine draped around throat and Shout
ders. The combination of navy satin
and black lace is particularly elegant
and refined, and this gown of Premet
is sure to make decided hit with wo-
men of conservative taste. As bril-
liant as the Premet gown is, quiet and
elegant is a Klein dance frock of gold
colored silk voile and cream lace, with
an underslip of flesh pink silk. The
skirt is yards and yards wide, and at
the back an odd sash forms a pannier
hustle and then trails to the floor, the
frSck itself being short enough to re-
veal the feet and ankles.

about the ability of this company to

There is a slight change made in

opening with the usual minstrel first

to find a funnier set of minstrel men
or a more excellent collection of vocal
lists than the ones which Field has
managed to get into his company this

ing as there is fun and music. OF
course, Mr.. Field takes a hand him
