"A FIVE-POUND candy box will make a good
sewing case in which to keep your bits
Of thread and material for your sewing. The
five-pound boxes have layers in the form Of
little cardboard sections which can be made
into separate drawers for each article you will
put in your case.
First, cover the outside of the box with coll
ored paper which you can buy by the yard at
any stationery store. Lay the paper on the box
and cut out the shape of first the bottom, then
the top, and the sides. Cover the inside surface
OF the paper with paste and place each piece
in its proper position. If your paper is not
cut quite accurately you can fit it on the box
as you paste 1t down, turning in corner here
and there until it fits Remove the two layers
on the inside of the box and cover the inside
in the same way, using perhaps a paper of
contrasting color to that which you used on the
outside.
Take some strong cardboard and cut strips
the same measurements as the length and
breadth of the Intersections. You WILL no
doubt want In your sewing case section for a
thimble one for several small spools of thread,
q place for pieces Of ribbon and snap fasteners
and hooks, needles and pins You may have
still other articles you keep in your sewing case,
but you will want at least four sections in your
box. This will leave the very bottom space in
the box free for the article you are sewing upon.

tons. For this 70. will need two strips of card
board the length of the box, and two the size
Of the width of the box. In cutting the card
board allow for tabs by which you will fasten
the cardboard to the sections. Take the strips
for the lengthwise division first. Paste the two
together, leaving the tabs at each end free. Fold
the tabs outward from each other and paste
them on the layer section at each end so that
the section viii be divided down the center.
Find the very center Of the layer-section and
cut the cardboard divider down to about half
inch from the bottom of this section Then

RIDDLES

Some of these riddles should be new to
most of you fans, although you may have heard
a couple of them. Can you guess them all?
l. When is a ladys arm not ladys arm?
2. What nation produces the most mar
riages?
3. Why is a bridegroom often moro expen-
sive than the bride?
4. What is the difference between butcher
and firt?
s. Why is modesty the chief characteristic
of watch?
ANSWERS.
1. When it was little bear (bare) 2.
Fascination. g. The bride is given away,
whereas the bridegroom is often Sold 4. One

width division, slipping the divider through
the slit cut in the center of the lengthwise
divider and FASTING the strips to the section in
the same way. You will now have a section
divided into four small compartments Cover
the sections with colored paper in the same
way you covered the inside of the box. Your
second layer may be divided into compartments
in the same manner.
BY following this method of dividing the box
into compartments you can take any size box
and divide it into as many compartments as
you wish. a long flower box so made would
make good container for your hosiery, as you
could put it In your drawer where it will save
space, and by keeping one pair of hose in each
compartment, you will always be able to find
the pair you wish to wear. Jewelry and hand
kerchief boxes can be made in the same wav

Sun Spots.

HE sun appears to the naked eye to be o
huge hot ball of fire, shining brightly all
over its surface. You cannot of course look
at the sun directly for more than second,
ana when you do you see nothing but daz-
zling brightness, and you hurt your eyes into
the bargain. But if you were to look at it
with telescope and through piece of dark
ened glass at its lens, you would see that there
are certain spots on what you thought was a
perfectly bright surface. These are the So
called sun spots, and they appear to be deep
holes in the sum- with whirling fringes of fire
moving rapidly about their edges
Deep holes in the sun! That's about what
they are, but they are of immense size, the

and wiring it into a loop with picture wire %
fine piano wire. A bit OF this wire should also
be wound on the other, or free, end of the lasso
to keep it from unraveling.
An Australian or South American Iasso can
be made by wiring two tails to a regular piece
Of rope. These tails should be about five feet
long and have weighted balls firmly fastened
to their outer ends. This foreign lasso is work.
ed just is the American lasso, by swinging
it around the head and then letting it fly at
the object to be caught.
This Australian 1aSSo should never be used
in attempting to lasso a person. as the weighed
balls might cause injury.

The new Skinner organ at the South Congregational church. re- placing the organ destroyed over a year ago by fire. will be heard for the first time tomorrow. when Carl L. Bloom. organist will give a re- cital at { p. m.

 Final from Symphony VII .. Widor The "Fantasia and Fugue" of Bach is familiar to all those inti- mate with organ literature. The second number is placed on the pro- gram with the idea of displaying the ileNibility of the new organ in reg istration-the work. is modern and colorful. The third number 'Canon in r major" is free type of writ ing, using strict form-a musical canon is covered by a body of rules which composer is forced to foi- low. This particular canon, all though strict in it's interpretation of the rules. sounds very free in style q big climax occurs at the close of the piece. The "Benediction Nup- tiale" of Saint-Saens is an old fav- orite with organists-there is color and excellent development of ideas in the work MT. Bloom will try 10 cover three widely different styles of music. The first will be direct and as clear as possible, the second will provide contrast with It's modern harmonies and orchestral color.
