Perhaps the best way to train a child's taste, if the child seems rather hopelessly deficient, is to let him work things according to his own ideas for a little while. If a little girl likes gaudy colors, let her have 6 frock of a gaudy color, which she her self chooses. She will, the chances are, soon tire of it. If the small boy likes impossible ornaments and hang ings in his room, let him have them Not only will be himself dislike them soon enough, but this friends will doubtless mako fun of thenl-and so they will become intolerable to him.
 Once there was a boy of 9 or 10 years who chose for the wall paper Of his room a dainty design with pink background upon which there were medallions showing little French maids in all their fnery. His mother remonstrated with him. telling him his choice was not boyish, that it was bahyish, a nursery paper, or ct best one for a very little girl. But he wanted that paper, and he got it. It had not been on his wall long before he realized his mistake. Of course, he had to put up with it for months, but it's presence there taught him a. lesson in interior decorating he never forgot

If you desire quick and unusual way to embroider the rose design. work the center in solid satin stitch, using three colors. Outline all the other petals. You will be surprised how much character this bit of satin stitch in the center will give the de- slgn. The. leaves should be in long and short stitch and the scrolls in outline.
 Pillow cases, too, are often decorat- ed with this braid. The hems are turned on the right side and held in place by r1ckrack and large initials are outlined in tho center by sewing the braid over the marked outline. Sheets may be hemed to match the cases so that the decorated portion can be turned down over the nourternane.

Evening Chat


at a local playhouse this week a
very excellent musical comedy com.
pany presented the plot Of what in its
day was q gem among light operas.
''of course, the tuneful aria and tho
augmented" chorus was missing.
But there's a reason.
Theatrical promoters are purveyors
TO the tastes, likes and even whims Of
the amusement patrons. 1t is their
business to please, and to gain this
end all else is thrown to the winds.
They aim to give the public what It
wants, and It stands as a sorrowful
Indictment to the tastes Of the pres.
ent generation Of theatre.goers. that
the management Of the company In
point was deferred from giving the
music along with the plot, for nc 9th.
er reason than a fear that "the audi.
ence wouldn't like It."
wouldn't appreciate it." Is probably
what he meant.
And his timidity was evidently we'll
founded.
Forsooth, did not the writer sit "way
up front" and hear the witty repartee
OF "Beppo" and Rocco" and the King
each with all the characteristics OF
real comic opera stars, even to the
bumps" on Rocco's slender legs!
And did not the audience allow one
funny" thing after another to be said
and done without even a show Of com
%prehension!
And Betty" the herder of turkeys,
in her charms as the mascot" was ap.
parently not even understood.
This happened in Fairmont, but the
same thing happens whenever and
wherever an esthetic manager thinks
only Of the purely wholesome, witty
musical entertainment OF a score Of
years ago and tries to present them
to a generation that has too long
been afflicted with rag.time, slap.
stick. coarse and sometimes even yul.
gar comedy.
De Wolfe Hopper is now in the NOV.
les, but nothing he car do there will
ever charm like his comic opera parts.

the country by the ears in the days Of
wang"
1t was rendered in a very c~reditable
way by members OF the company here
this week, but "Bill Bailey" or BON
Bonn Bay" would have went better.
Failure has attended the efforts OF
managers to revive some of the good
ones OF days gone by, and the com.
edy of today Is therefore evidently
what the people want and pay for.
