Repairing Woodwork.

No matter how badly in need Of re-
pair woodwork and furniture may
be, you can put them in presentable
shape If you have care, perseverance
and q few inexpensive helps at hand.
To begin with, get the wood ready
for some sort of finish. If 1t Is badly
battered up and the color of the stain
is faded and spotted and worn, get
sand paper and cut it in two-inch
squares. With this NIB off the old
paint or varnish. Coarse paper may
rub the wood smooth. This work 1s
tedious, so do it for only a snort
time at stretch.
is removed dust the wood and then
wipe it with an oily cloth. Then
make little pads of cotton-tie SIX
inch square of cheesecloth around
wad of cotton batting-and dip them
in paraffin oil, and then in sheliac and
then pat the surface of the wood
with them. Pat the wood until IT
has absorbed all the finish it vii
take. The finish will be attractive
and durable, but it must be carefully
put on.
To restore color to wood. dip the
pad in mixed color after it is wet
with paraftin and shellac. For cherry
or mahogany use n little Bismarck
brown and yellow ochre. mixed. and,
if the mahogany is very dark, lit
tie aniline black. For oak use raw
or burnt lumber, according TO the tone
desired. For black walnut use burnt
lumber and Bismarck brown. For
light woods use raw lumber. Mix the
color thoroughly before applying it.
and try little of it on an under
side of the wood, if possible, before
beginning to use it.
If wood is not badly disngured it
will not need this sort of recoating.
i it is spotted. clean it. One method
of cleaning calls for paste made of
parafiin or lnseed Oil and rotten
stone mixed to a smooth cream and
then rubbed on the wood First rub
the paste in a circular direction and
then rub it with the grain Of the
wood. Then remove what is not alb
sorbed of it with dry cloth and
then rub the wood with oil. After an
hour sprinkle the wood with tripoli
powder, and in another hour rub it
again.
To rub the paste and oil into the
wood use brick rubber. You can
buy this, or you can make it. To
make it, cover brick with felt. That
from an old hat will do. When it
| becomes soiled. rip off the felt and
wash it. This heavy brick polsher
| is good for any sort of wood polish
| ing.

Difficulty in Placing Pleats.

Simple as it is when arranged by
the hands of skillful worker, it is
not a task for the amateur, unless
she is sure of her power to accom-
plish good lines.
For instance, if these pleats are
placed at the waistline on a large
woman, they entirely destroy ner
outline; if they are placed at the hip
line. they are better, but if they so
across the front. stretching in a line
between the hips. they produce full
ness as well as width, and again
they destroy the outline.
The fiat, thin woman can arrange
them in any manner she wishes; she
is the favorite of the gods these Gays
and for Ter all the artistry of tie
world is developed. The woman VINO
wants to be in the fashion and yet
reCt sn;ZeS that a large figure IS a
stclnus stumbling block to the dc e.
taIed achievement Of the present
moGe. must bring to )aa'- all her IN
genuity and artistic knowledge to
keep herself from being grotesque
when she adopts the distended hip
line. whether it is formed of organ
whalebone.
The gown which is sketched shows
how one woman accomplished the
new nip drapery for a client who
would not permit organ pleats at her
normal waistline. The frock is of
black satin and lace. the tunic made
of the latter. The satin forms a
bodice girdle which ties a the back.

The Distended Hips.

All of this preamble means that
the dressmakers are delighted over
a striking innovation in clothes that
seems to cry aloud for acceptance.
Even the Indifferent women are puz-
zled over the problem of trying to
make last years clothes give this
years service. They realize that
something must be done about the
hip drapery. They may not wish to
accept the whalebone effect or the
immense crinoline panniers that dis
tend the skirts of evening frocks, but
they do search for some compromise
between the extreme and the dis
carded.
The dressmakers have given them
this compromise in organ pleats
which are attached to a low corsage
or to the normal waistline. All of
the French dressmakers adopted this
idea in their new frocks and the
Americans have followed.
These pieats are rounded, not fiat
They have been exaggerated in some
gowns until they are as large as the
actual organ pipes which they are
supposed to initiate and from which
they derive their name.

Danny Meadow Mouse Is
Glad Her Is Small.

If ever in all the great world there
was a startled bear, that one was
Buster Bear when Danny Meadow
Mouse ran straight at him. Beechnuts
were in Buster Bears mind. sweet lit
tie beechnuts, and nothing else. when he
reached out a great paw to rake over
that little pile of leaves. 1t didn't enter
Busters head that there might be any
thing but beechnuts under them. So.
when Danny Meadow Mouse with a
frightened squeak darted out from I'M
der Busters very paw and straight to-
ward him. Buster was so surprised and
startled that for a second or two he
didn't know what to do.
Now it seemed an absolutely crazy
thing for Danny to run straight at
Buster, but the truth is it was the
wisest thing he could have done. 1t
wasn't wisdom at all. 1t was just pure
fright and nothing else. Danny was so
frightened that he didn't have any idea
at all where he was running. He just
ran. that was all. And because he hap
pened to be facing Buster Bear he ran
straight at him.
Now if he had run away from Buster
things might not have turned out at all
as they did. Buster would have seen
just where he went and the instant he
recovered from his surprise WOULD nave
been after him. AS it was. Danny dart
ed right under Busters big paw and
right across the toes of one of Busters
big hind feet. Buster is big fellow
and he looks clumsy, but he isn't near
~ as clumsy as he looks. In fact. Bus
ter isn't clumsy at all He is surpris-
ingly quick in his movements for such
a big fellow. The instant he recovered
from his surprise at the sudden appear
ance of Danny Meadow Mouse. Buster
whirIed about. A fat Meadow Mouse
would go splendidly with those sweet
beechnuts he had eaten.
But by the time Buster had turned
about Danny had darted behind big
tree and there he stopped. He stopped
because he didn't know which way to
go. 1t happens that was the wisest
thing he could have done. You see, if
he had continued to run he would have
rustled the dry leaves and Buster would
have known just where he was. But be-
cause he stopped as he did, there was
nothing to tell Buster which way he
had gone.
For once in his life Danny Meadow
Mouse was glad he was little. Right
then he would have been glad to have
been smaller than he was. Many, many
times he had wished he was big, but
now he was very, very thankful that
he wasn't Had he been big. as big. let
US say, as Peter Rabbit, the chances
are that he wouldn't have been able to
slip out from under Busters big paw as
he had done. He was glad that he was
little. Yes. indeed, Danny Meadow
Mouse was glad that he was little.

this question. and always be sure you
get an answer: What is the lesson
about? 1t seems simple. but you prob
ably have no idea how many boys and
girls can't tell. even after they have
studied faithfully. They know a lot
of things about the lesson. but they
don't really know the lesson. Get a
definite answer to your question.
Nearly always the lesson is about
Somebody or Something. When you
have discovered this. your study con-
sists in putting together all the facts
that seem necessary, or at least inn
portant. to understand and explain
that person or thing. Do not spend
your time on minor facts. that may
be interesting enough, but are not es-
sential to a clear understanding of the
subject.
For instance. the history lesson is
about the French and Indian war
Now what do we want to know about
any war? What were the causes, the
big events, the results; that's all.
When you know clearly and surely
the answer to these three questions.

FOR YOUR BABY.

If prerequisite of designers OF
baby's clothes and accessories was
course of training in a baby hospital
then perhaps some of the very charm
ing little dainties that are shown to
young mothers for their babies would
never be shown. and there would be
Few less pages in the catalogues of
the baby speciality shops. Because YOU
know some of the things are rather
useless and only make poor baby's life
more troublesome. He has a primitive
desire to go without clothes-a boil
shevist at heart is he and rebels
against the customs of society
But there are ever SO many little
things that you can buy for your baby
or for baby's comfort that do make
things run along the better. For in
stance. there is a silk quilted coat lin
ing that costs about IS that you can
buy for the baby in short clothes.
With this itsmakes it possible to wear
lightweight coat way into the win
ter. With snug well shaped lining
of this sort you will find the task of
making baby coat yourself is far
easier.
For the bottom of baby's fence or
pen there is a mat made of Turkish
loWellHS tndt you VIII flnd very con-
Venient. 1T ties by means of tapes
securely into the pen and can be re-
moved easily to be washed or dried.
In winter you will find set of crib
shields great convenience. They are
of quilted sateen and made to tie Sc
curely along the sides of the crib so
as to shield him from a draught. and
TINS is much easier device than
blankets hung on or pinned to the
side of the crib.
For the little baby dressing table
of white canvas is a great conven-
fence. 1t can be folded up when not
in use. 1t has pockets for safety pins
and is just what you need to lay the
bsoy on to dress him after he has
been bathed, or for the preliminary
soaping that should be attended TO
before baby goes into his tub.
1t is new idea to use dark colors
for carriage robes and one of the
smartest covers for baby in his car
| riage is a corduroy afghan of rich
dark brown, bound with wide satin
| The lighter washable blankets can go
! beneath next to the baby, and this
laid on top. giving what to manv
! seems much smarter appearance for
| baby's airing than the.pink and white
| or blue and white coverlet with it's

There are always big facts and lit

But how can you tell important facts
from unimportant ones? 1t takes prac-
