Trees.

Trees are bewtiful to look at and
also gives shade free Of charge to eny-
body that wunts to stand underneath
of them, being a convenient thing to
remember on sunny days.
The werst thing a tree can do is fan
down on you wen you are not N-
pecting it.
Some trees stay green all the yeer
around vile others only get leeves IN
Spring to prove wat time of the yeer
it is.
Fruit trees are the most useful be-
cause they give fruit and shade both
at the same time, the only danger be-
ing they mite give you fruit on top OF
the he'd vile you are standing there
jest Expecting shade. Every tree has
it's own shape leaf, but they all look
alike from a distants, and even up
close a lot of people don't know the diff
trent names of the diffrent trees and
they don't even ask.
The roots of a tree are underneath
of the ground and help it to grow and
stand up strate, while the trunk sticks
up ware everybody can see it and gets
most of the credit. This proves the
value of advertisement.
If you cline up tree you are libel
to get a good view but on the other
hand you are libel to get a swell splin-
ter. This proves you haff to take the
bitter with the sweet.
Trees may be more numerous in the
country but they are more appreciated
in the city. This proves a little absents

Hooked rugs are enjoying a renais-
eance today. They are among, the in
teresting rugs that woman can make
II she so chooses. In fact, hooking
rugs is today quite the thing for a
woman to do in the line of fancy work.
1t is no harder than any other form
of fancy work as far as the work goes.
1t requires a frame and a hook, and
that is the full extent of the equip
ment. 1t may be cheap to buy or it
may be more elaborate and cast a
Toodly sum. If one desires, the
frame can be made at home from four
strips of wood fastened together when
in use by four large clamps. When not
in. use, the whole thing can be taken
apart and put away in small compass.
Such frame costs almost nothing.
Hints OH Hooks.
AS for the hooks, they may be mere
Iy bent pieces OF steel. One time women
had forks bent by blacksmiths and so
formed into hooked rug implements.
Today there are all sorts of hooks to be
had, some that are like the old hooks
and some that can be threaded like
needles. With the latter, the work is
done so that the loops come on the
The threaded needle is pressed through
the interstices of the burlap foundation
and withdrawn, leaving a loop gagged
according to the wishes of the worker.
The majority of rugs are still hooked
with the ordinary hooks and the loops
formed on the right side of the work.

+ Method OF Work.
To do the regulation hooking of rugs,
the strand Of whatever medium is
chosen is held beneath the stamped
burlap foundation when it is stretched
on.the hooked rug frame. The hook is
pushed through the loosely woven bur-

may bel and is pulled up through the
