In buying ready-made garments there

THIMBLE, THIMBLE. WHO'S
GOT THE THIMBLE

II seems funny, doesn't 1t. that
thimbles were ever made Of leather.
and that they were first meant to be
worn on the thumb! Because II this.
they were called ''thumb-bells."
After a time, however, some clever
person found that they could be used
more successfully on the middle finger,
and now 1t seems strange to us that
they should ever have been worn any
other way.
The flrst-and often the only thing
that a woman thinks about when she
goes to buy a thimble, is the size.
Now, the size Is important, for the
comfort, and much of the speed with
which you are able to dispatch your
sewing, depends upsn the size Of the
thimble you wear. Always buy one
that Is large enough to allow the end
of the finger to strike the end Of the
thmble The size Is indicated by
number placed on the thimble. They
come In eleven sizes. Nos. 2 to II.
The sizes for children run from to
5.
But the satisfaction and service that
you are going TO get out Of a thimble
depends upon the material from which
II Is made.
Where you want n good, strong.
heavy thimble, 1t Is best to get steel
one 1t is a good idea to get one that
Is plated inside with brass to prevent
rustlng. Steel and aluminium are the
lowest-priced thimbles.
Aluminium thimbles are satisfactory.
but they are extremely light. For that
reason, though. they are especially
good for children.
Celluoid makes good thimble, and
Is expensive. They are somewhat
clumsy to handle, but fit neatly on the
finger
The disadvantage Of silvered Thin
bles is that they are very apt to tar
nsh.
Nickle-plated thlmbles and those Of
German silver give satisfactory serv-
Ice. Sterling silver thimhles arc ex-
tremely satisfactory, but these, Of
course, cost mere.
In buying inexpensive thimblea al
ways examine them carefully for any
rough places. Thlmbles also become
rough from much wear. and should
then be discarded at once. or they VIII

There had been moments when the

had been on morning when they were

had been quick flame of flying color.
Their talk had fallen from them, and
they had ridden In shy, exquisite ST.

putting her horse to canter.
