AS you sew, SO shall you rip!
That's my sewing basket motto.
There's more truth than poetry
to it.

rip, but that's all my efforts
amount to!
The fashions look so easy
these days. Seems like any simp

But nothing discOurages me.
The other day I decided to copy
a beautiful neglejay / saw in a
store. / know that amt the way
to spell it and can't pronounce
it either but you know what /
mean.
However, for the benefit of the
one man who may read this and
not know, a neglejay is a glOri-
fled wrapper made out of chiffon
instead of flannel, and has lace
and ribbons floating from it.

This one looked so easy to make

time it took to sew the label in

Missouri Editor Lost Sight When Eight
Year Old.

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Jan. 11.-Dwight
H. Brown, president of the Missouri
Press Association, edits local daily
newspaper chiefly with his ears and
memory.
At eight years of age, Mr.. Brown
eyesight failed, and he received his prin-
cipal education from his stepmother,
who read to him.
His sight never returned sufficiently
to permit him to read anything except
large newspaper headlines, and he can
not distinguish headlines, and he can
feet away. Having an unusual mem
DRY and secretary who read items from
various newspapers to him, calling out
the page and column of the article, il
is not infreQuent for Mr.. Brown to ask
for items six months later, specifying
the papers, page and column.
Mr.. Brown is now 80, and also is
president of the Southeast Missouri
Press Association, and the Southeast
Missouri Democrat Press Association.
Brown writes his articles on a type
writer, although he cannot read type
