Be Quick.

This word is intended for the boy
and girl in high school grades. !
hope the very youngster who needs
1t most gets 1t first.
The teachers and your parents are
wondering why you do not do your
work on time; why you put off until
it piles up SO high that you either
refuse 1t altogether or you skim over
the top of it and never sample it's
flavor. They wonder why you are
late in handing in your work and
why you fail in q subject that is
really we'll within your power.
From my chair on the platform
where l can see you all at work and
at play / see the reason very plainly.
II is because you say, Not just now.
Wait a minute. I'll do that by and
by, but 1 don't want to begin
right now. I'll do this one that
l like first and then I'll do the hard
one"
That minute slips away so easily
you never see it go, and your job and
your growth and your rating slip
away on It's back, never to come
again. You may use another day,
another year, but the one that
matched the job slipped through your
fingers. You are out just that much
time and growth and credit. That
does not pay.
There is just one way to get the
best of the situation: Be quick Get
ahead Of the thing that is threaten
ing you You think 1T is hard. Let
me tell you that 1T is hard because
you think 1t Is hard. Thinking is as
powerful force as doing in matters
like this. The fear thought that
says This is hard; I'll wait little
s "a nd he
deed. Il will do this lesson right
away and stick at it until 1t is done
if you allow it to be. You're the
master.
Get that idea right, please. You
are the master here, not the instruc-
tor. The instructor gives you a chart
and heads you toward your destina-
ton, but he cannot give you the
power to arrive. That is yours. He
can set the stage for your doing, but
he cannot do for you. The will that

supplies the power to your working G

Dark Lashes.

The blond girl is always hunting
for way to make her eyelashes and
eyebrows darker, and the dark girl
for a way to make them longer. The
blond girl is fortunate; she can-if
she uses the method I'm describing
today-have quite dark lashe, though
the effect will last only throughout
the day or evening. Permanent STAIN
ing or dyeing is out of the question {;
It's dangerous when tried on the head,
and of course, might prove fatal If
the stain or dye were used near the
eyes.
But a perfectly harmless cream can
be made that is jet black, and that
can be rubbed into the eyebrows and
lashes to darken them so that the
darkening is not noticeable. To max e
it, first of all get a small quantity of
fine SCOT, about as much as woul1 fill
a teaspoon. The best way is to hold
q candle under a bit of thick glass
to smoke it up as though you were
going to observe an eclipse. Scrape
off the SCOT with a knife. Put about
IA tablespoonful of petroleum jelly or
cold cream in some shallow tiny pot
that will hold the cream. Mix in the
SCOT with a tiny stick (use one of
your manicure orange wood sticks)
and keep mixing until you have a
very black cream.
Apply the cream by taking little
between your thumb and forefnger,
and rubbing 1t well into the ends of
the lashes, not thickly enough though
for them to look beaded. Rub a little
in and then off the eyebrows. AT
bedtime rub cold cream around the
eyes TO remove the black. This won't
run. won't get in the eyes, can't pos
sibly hurt you.
Even the dark girl can use this
cream Though it may not make her
Iashes darker. 1t will make them seem

are ornamental without being pic
torial
The original geometric square in
flet crochet given today can be en-
ployed in many ways. 1t can be
copied from the picture or from the
written directions. Two interesting
methods of utilizing the work are
described. The medallions may be
the same color as the fabric in which
the squares are inserted, or they may
he in artistic contrast. Great care
must be exercised when combinin G
colors, 50 that the shades go pleas
ingly together and that one tone is
not too strong to go with the other.
Smart Sofa Cushion.
A sofa cushion cover made of alter
nate squares of the filet crochet and
linen art canvas, a high grade of bur-
lap, of monks cloth or some material
with heavy woven threads, will be a
smart acquisition of davenport or
couch, in a living room, library or
den. Choose two hues that you wish
to accent in the color scheme of the
room, or have but one that you wish
to introduce to give distinction to
the furnishings. Sometimes just a
touch of yellow may be needed in a
room, and it can be introduced in
the sofa cushion. The yellow can be
in the fabric or in the crochet. Usual
ly a deep orange tone is best. This
combines excellently with green
brown, mulberry dark grayish blue,
and with a variety of other colors
when the correct tones are used.

The growing vogue for unmatched

so named because its outlines are those
of the kidney bean.
The pleasant little kidney sofa

makes for an unusual degree of COM

FiIet Bedspread.
Bedspreads of filet and natural COL
ored linen are just the things to dress
up beds. The linen may be bought In
narrow width. 1t comes for this very
purpose, which simplifies the work.
Carpet thread to match the shade of
linen is the preferred thread. 1t is
linen and very strong. AS the squares
are large the work progresses rapid
ly. The squares are sewed together to
form the strips. Sometimes mar
row strip one and one-half or two
inches deep of spaces only is set be-
tween squares. This by no means
detracts from the beauty of the
spread, as the plain tilet sets off the
pattern.

and mid-meal covers for the dining
table.
