ESSAYS Prime REQUISITE.

OF all forms Of literature the essay
is the one which least calls for the
use of long words. 1t should
give pleasure; the desire which impels
US when we take it from the shelf is
simply to receive pleasure, Every
thing in an essay must be subdued to
that end. it should lay US under a
spell with its first word, and we should
only wake, refreshed, with its last. In
rhp interval we may pass through the
most varied experiences of amuse-
ment, surprise interest, Indignation !;
we may soar to the heights of fantasy
with Lamb or plunge to the depths of
wisdom with Bacon, but we must
never be reused. The essay must lap
us about and draw its curtain across
the world.-Times Literary Supple

he successfully made from patterns ut

the work involved In making a boys
suit or lined overcoat Is such that It
pays to get these garments ready
made and ecOnomlze In some other
way. At times It happens, however,
that mans suit has such good mate
rial in 1t that It Is worth while to
make 1t over for boy. Women's gar.

There is always the possibility Of
combining two materials when there
IL not enough of one. or Of adding
Just enough new contrasting material
to make the result seem like a new
dress.
One Pattern Sufficient.
In the Illustration one pattern was
used to make five different dresses.
Variety was obtained by making the
decorations entirely different and us
ing different materials In each dress,
and guimpe Even with dresses for old
er persons It Is frequently possible to
vary a simple foundation pattern by
means Of trimming, various styles Of
collars or cuffs, or different way Of
opening, so as to have the results
seem totally different. A glance nj
any pattern book will show how the
same foundation pattern can be made
up to give various effects. The ad.
vnntages Of using one pattern for a
number Of garments In this way are
that with repeated use one is able to
handle the pattern more easily and
consequently to work more rapidly.
and no time is lost measuring and lay
ing out several different kinds OF pat
terms. The simpler the pattern the
easier 1t Is to cut and make. and the
more likelihood there Is Of being able
to use It for cutting over limited
amount Of material. MS In the case OF
making over an old dress.
