HIGHLY FREED LACES

a few minutes with her work on her lap, looking abstractly to the hills as her thoughts turn back to the time of her own wedding journey and how she with her young husband at her side had wandered through Belgium, picking up bit of lace, almost price less, in some little musty smelling store, or a piece of bric-a- brac where no enc would expect to find anything of value. Happy, happy time! Proud, prosperous peaceful Belgium But now! And she looks up through tear -dimmed eyes as her daughter ex- cla,ms:
 And the Mechlin, mother. Oh, ioy!" flushing with pride at the thought of tlt, matronly honors and the impor- tance she is so soon to attain.
 That lace is or was made at Mechlin, Antwerp, and one or two other cities abroad. wasn't it?" asks the girl to cover her confusion as she roguishly. Yes, and it is fine trans | parent, web-like. That must be used on my very best clothes | 'Chantilly is very wonderful, know continues the girl.
 Yes" replied her mother. 'Not every girl ras so much. That lace is now made at Bayeux and Caen. ''rhe Lille lace is simple in design but is fine and beautiful and is made in the town of Lille, France, and I have tn. lace I bought in Bailleul; that i, strong and cheap; also the valen- l ciennes. You will find all these usefu in many ways" .,

 "The Valenciennes Is made in Elan. ders, Ypres, Bruges and Ghent in 1arg' quantities"
 Especially for us poor little ricl girls" laughs the carefree girl.
 The Honiton lace Is the mos " 9ely known of the English faces an, Is made in Buckingham, Devon ant

 "Wel, my daughter, what is it?" smiles the indulgent parent.
 Why, I was thinking of the faces you have and wondering just how much you are going to give me, and O. how I can use them"
 'I have been expecting that from you for some time, my dear, and have decided to give you and your sister an equal share. Will that suit your" And he mothers eyes rested lovingly on the girl.
 With a shake of the head, the girl says quickly: "No, indeed. You must have enough of each kind for the neck and sleeves of the soft gray gorwsn, as the stories have it, when you are old and fine and of course beautiful"
 The mother rewards this mild ban d:nage with an approving nod and 8 Possibly you are right. We will sec what your sister thinks"

LITTLE GIRLS SHOULD BE
 TAUGHT SEWING.

Dear Sisters Uf The Social Cor Such good variety of suggestions for domestic helps appeared ln last week Corner, and probably each reader not ed that which appealed the strongest to her. However. 1 offer my fayoriI } interest along these lines. New-Com- CT to Norwich has presented a good practical subject in regard to teach ing children to sew. She was not specifying girls alone. but must in clude boys as well. as she advises this importance to children. All very good, but 1 would emphasize teaching. little girls and make 1t interesting, so they will enjoy their work and feel it a pleasure more than q task, and a goou | benefit to them as they grow older. So maay women of mature years, We hear say, now-days-"I dislike it? We hear others say they enjoy seN ing so much. Well, perhaps the be conclusion we can come to is that is largely due to every girls younge days as we find it easy and reasona- ble to judge somewhat by our own | earlier experiences. As New-Comer refers to a friend who conducts a sew ] ing class, I was reminded of a little i class that l attended when a small ] girl We used to meet every Satur- l day morning at 10 o'clock, and sew for l two hours. We had splendid teach- CTS, who took interest in every child and the instructions were plain and helpful, and we enjoyed every min- ute of our work. I often think of lit tie pointers" my teacher specialized to me. When I started a piece oi work, she would say, Now, be sure and conceal the knot" I think if al little girls are taught to sew, under pleasant conditions. with patient in structors, they will of themselve. learn to enjoy sewing, and see wha
 help it means as they go along True, we can buy every kind of ready
 to-wear clothing, but there comes |:
 time when those garments need a lit
 tie mending, if only to sew on a but
 ton, and many grown-ups can't d.
 that and make a good job of it. Som
 girls in these days would prefer t
 sit and crochet, or embroider some
 fancy piece rather than put a littl
 patch Son a gingham apron. or darl
 their stockings. My theory is bushes
 before pleasure, and the mendin
 first, whatever it is, for the youn
 girl or the mature housekeeper; the
 do the crocheting, and best results
 will follow. {

Social Corner Sisters: In these days of high cost of living, when house keepers are at their wits ends to know how to live economically, salt fish can be easily prepared. Don't get the fish in boxes. but small boned cod. Put it in a paper bag or stout manila paper and beat it well with the back of d hammer or fatchet on something hard (the concrete floor of the cellar suits mel. The fbers will quickly be broken and can be washed in cold water and heated just to boiling in an agate pan.
