fore the dinner hour. When dinner was
announced and we entered the dining
room I was surprised to see the young
er daughter of the house. girl of
fifteen, take the place at the head of
the table usually occupied by the
house mother, while her mother quiet
ly seated herself by me at one side.
AS the meal proceeded. the girl, with
a self-possessiOn unusual in one so
young. calmly gave the orders to the
serving man, and when the dessert
was brought on she filled the plates
and gave them to the man to pass.

not a little envy, old woman as l am.
for well do I remember my own awk-
wardness and lack of case when I first
took my place at the head of my own
table after I was married. I thought
of those early days as l sat there. and
again I felt the furry that showed
itself in my manner toward the little
maid who waited upon my husband and
myself, making her. in her turn, awk-
ward and causing many a spill and
broken dish that might have been
avoided had I had the experience that
would have given her confidence in
herself.
After dinner was over and my host
ess and I were left to ourselves for
quiet chat in the living room, I said
to her that I had never seen a young
girl preside at table so gracefully as
her young daughter. Il am particular
~ interested" l told her. because I
have been given an idea for a talk to
the Mothers Club. for one thing. and
because her graceful bearing has re-
called to me my own early awkward
ness and lack of skill when I was
much older than your Edith is now. I
think it is delightful to see a young
girl so self-possessed under what must
be a trying position"
Precisely" my hostess replied. TT
is for that very reason that l am train
ing my daughters to fill the position
of hostess at the head of the table.
The three girls take turns at presiding
one evening each week and no matter
what the occasion. no one can take
the place OF the one whose day it Is.

it up as long as they remain at home

Fer the Woman Who Knits.
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

Nowadays women don't make a fad Of
all sorts Of fancy work, boasting Of the
number OF kinds they can do. Instead
they specialize in one sort At least, that
Is the tendency now. And for the last
few years knitting has been the hobby
OF many women.
The woman who wishes to knit goes
about learning quite systematically. She
has not the advantage of her grand
mother, who worked al the family
knitting from the time she could hold
two needles in her small fingers. She
Is forced to learn, usually, after she is
grown.
To begin with. she gets her equipment
This consists of various amber and steer
and bone needles Of different sorts and
sizes Then she gets some yarn. and
book OF stitches and patterns for making
various things.
This equipment. of course, costs from
one to several dollars
The next thing she does is to learn
to make the different stitches. One clever
woman made a stitch-pattern book, and
in the making mastered many knitting
stitches. She began with plain knitting,
and knitted a little square about four by
four inches. Then she took up the next
stitch, and made a sample pattern or
that. And she went on, making samples
of the different stitches. until she had
one OF each. She labeled them all and
fastened them in a little scrap book.
wherein she also wrote directions for
various knitted garments which her
friends gave her.
Then she punched a round Of cardboard
to keep in the bottom of her knitting
bag with each Of her needles, and labeled
the hole so punched with the size OF
the needle. So it was never difficult to
determine the size OF a needle very
quickly.
A good knitting bag should be part of
every knitter's equipment. very large
bag, longer than wide, is good sort,
for 1t holds the supply of yarn, the
needles, and the knitted garment.
A small bag to hang over the arm, to
hold the ball of yarn, is also a good one
to have. for the ball can be kept in it,
and the thread Unwinds without tangl-
ing.
To begin with. the knitter must master
the pearl and slip stitches. Then ther-
come the more elaborate stitches. Many
of them are named because they suggest
somethinE-like the popcorn stitches, the
apple-seed stitch, the herringbOne stitch.
The various briOChe stitches and others
Of the more elaborate sort would tax
the resources Of a more advanced knitter.
the sort who makes a real hobby Of
knitting.
