notify readers that the reprint of this
pattern is ready for any who inclose 10
cents preferably coin) and self
addressed and stamped envelope with a
request directed to Lydia lie Baron
Walker, care of this paper. The de-
mand was so great that the first print
ing of the patterns was exhausted long
before all requests could be filled. All
these patterns have now been SENT
and other orders can be filled. I ap-
preciate the kindly patience OF those
who had to have delayed replies.
This tandem coach pattern is pri-
marily a needlework silhouette picture
for a wall decoration. 1t is designed
to be worked in croSs-Stitch in one color
against contrasting background of the
same Stitchery. Today 1 have shown
how it can be used with equal success
on any kind of background textile,
worked or unworked It's uses are many.
1t can form the lining for q glass
topped tray or table.
1t is delightful to use for ornamenting
linen (or other textile) "catch-alls"
used by travellers. These "catch-alls"
ore revival of old-time travelling bags
popular in the days of coach travelling,
hence the appropriateness of the de-
sign to this use or on any textile trav-
cling accessory. 1 shall be glad to give
directions for making "catch-alls'' if
enough readers express the wish for
them. The bags are just the things to
take on vacation trips.

What Golf Does to Figure

hours at q stretch, one Is imbued with
new life, new energy on being trans
planted to the green, there to enter into
the many-sided activities required by
this game.
FOR golf embraces several forms Of
exercise in one-the various poStureS OF
the body assumed in playing the game,
walking and enforced breathing.
As panacea for indigestion and con-
stipation this particular form of sports
has no equal. Indigestion was until
recent years regarded as national af-
Fiction, but I have no doubt it will be
largely eliminated through universal
golfng, which brings into play the di-
geStive organs, and exercises especially
the diaphragm, that powerful muscle of
respiration.
Formerly physicians sent their ner-
vouS patients for the rest cure, or, this
not being possible, advised massage and
passive exercise at home. Today such
patients are sent to the links, golf being
recognized as the remedy par excellence
for the overwrought victims of nervous
conditions.
Ana it is plain to be seen why golf
Is so beneficial health measure Be-
ginners forget themselves in the neces-
sary concentration on the BAH Mean
while, raising and lowering the body
from the hips, turning and twisting for
the drive, all tend to stabilize the nerves.
The tiring of the muscles with the oxy-
genation of the blood induces profound
sleep and the nervous system is gradu-
ally regenerated.
The aeration of the blood and the
general publication of the entire sys-
tenn improve the complexion. A nat
ural glow is impaired to the skin, the
eyes become clear and bright and the
use OF cosmetics is found to be Superflu-
ouS. Indeed, the girl who is devoting
more time to outdoor recreation finds to
her great joy that she has little need
Tor the hitherto ubiquitous powder puff

but to those who are decidedly below
par and to those past middle life q
word OF warning must be said on un-
dertaking golf.
At first, do not attempt to play the
game. Simply walk in the fresh air,
handling the clubs to get the "feeP' of
them.
Practice putting little and rest. Do
this consistently at every opportunity,
gradually increasing your efforts.
Even though walking on the green is
done in leisurely fashion, the constant
breathing of fresh air, together with
the postures assumed in golfing, reveals
the secret of golf as health and
beauty measure.
Golf is a wonderful game as a form
of physical culture for overcoming To-
Called imperfections.
The turning and twisting called for
in driving reduce the waist and hips,
while the same action develops the
shoulders and arms. Indeed, strenuous
woman golfers are very apt to over
develop the shoulders and upper arms.
Any game which is fun increases its
health value. A sport which is endured;
rather than enjoyed, fails in its mission.
Golf owes much of its success to the
fact that it has habit of taking such
a hold on the people who play it that
they become more interested in going
around in par than in the pounds they
have lost or gained.

CroSs-stitch patterns embroidered on
canvas can have the background filled
in with the stitchery or the background
can be left unworked. 1t all depends
upon what the foundation textile is.
If it is regulation croSs-stitch canvas,
both design and background must be
covered with embroidery. There are
varieties of canvas, however, which are
woven in such a manner that they are
good looking and sufficiently close
woven to be left visible without detri-
ment. There are also heavy weaves of
textiles, such as monks cloth, in which
warp and weft cross at right angles
with the precision of canvas, but with
out the holes, and these require no
filled-in background. The stitches are
taken over squares of crossing threads
exactly as through cross-stitch capvas.
One of the quaint old ways of trans
ferring canvas croSs-Stitch designs to
any kind of textile is again in vogue.
The canvas is positioned on the textile
and basted to it so that the design
when worked through both canvas and
textile will be in the desired place.
After the design IS embroidered the
canvas threads are withdrawn or the
canvas is deftly cut away along the
outlines of the design so that no ends
show. This method will be remembered
as a favorite one for ornamenting chair
seats and footstool tops. The back
ground textile often was heavy satin or
broadcloth with its satin finish. This
method is recommended for the same
purposes today.

the lovely California sunshine she has

siderable pay while she was in bed with
a fever She gets no vacation except at
her expense and the studios con-

Z in the morning, and sometimes she
stays there 10 or IL hours.
She doesn't live more cheaply than

she must get about, she must see peo-
pie, she must dress smartly. All that

"Old Mother Kleary told me to get
of her grass this noon," said Baxter
between mouthfuls at dinner.
I'm bet you had your answer ready"
said father. proudly.
II sure did. said to her, You're the
only goose see here, so maybe you do
need all the grass for yourself That
fetched her. Old goose! That's what
we call her now when we pass her
house"
That's right. sonny. Hold your own.
Nobody else'll do it,
Il don't think that Baxter should
talk back that way" said grandmother,
gently. "Old Mrs. Kleary takes great
pride in that bit of grass, and 1t hurts
her feelings to have child talk back
like that"
"Old Mother Klery! Who's she? NO
body cares about her"
Better have dogs good will than

Baxter won't have many friends If his

Children are quick enough with their
tongues without our helping them. They
need to be taught control rather than
freedom there. In the first place, older
people are entitled to respect because
they are old. Life means something
when one has spent SO or 60 years at
1t. A word let loose is loose forever,
and it is remarkable how long a hard
word lasts and works its mischief.
Smart sayings are not half as smart
as their creator thinks they are They
are rather cheap compared to the words
Of courtesy that might have taken their
place. A pleasant word, a courteous
reply, take far more intelligence, far
more control, far more breeding, than
the smart retort.
- Nowadays children are beginning to
think that "wiSecrack" makes them
appear smart. Most of their sayings
are copied from the cheap talkies.
High-grade performers do not use them
The children store the phrases that
bring laughs and use them when a good
opportunity offers. They lose their orig
nal flavor when lifted from their pecu-
lier setting and the result is anything
but good. Still the children, encour-
aged by their mistaken elders, use them
triumphantly.
The only thing to do is to start an
opposing idea. Instead Of praising the
smart. sharp word, praise the retort
courteous. Gather all the polite words
the neat replies, the fitting Answers,
that you can find and present them to
course, you will have to like the cour-
teouS words yourself or the children will
never use them. They use what you
admire.
In any case, the sharp retort Is not
to be favored. I have never known
anybody that was very sorry for some
thing he did not say, but know many
who are very, very sorry for something
they have said. When you can
not speak gently, with courtesy, keep
still. Silence always has fine dignity.

Granulated Eyelids.

In the North people sometimes call
simple chronic Inflammation of the
eyelids "granulated eyelids," but in the
South this name is more commonly ap-
piled to trachoma. which is a con-
tagiouS and dangerous inflammation of
the lining of the eyelids. Another COM
mon name for trachoma Is red sore
eyes"
Trachoma begins with watering, Itch
ing and burning. and feeling as II
there were something In the eye. Most
victims of trachoma believe their
trouble was started by something in
The sufferer presently finds that sun
shine causes pain and he avoids 1t or
begins wearing dark goggles. Presently
the eyeballS become inf1amed. The
transparent cornea becomes clouded
and vision becomes poor. Scars form
on the lid lining and when the scar
contracts, as all scars do, the edge of
the lid is pulled inward. This causes
the lashes to rub and scratch the eye
ball. which is not only painful but 1t
tends to make the transparent cornea
cloudier and SO partial blindness de-
velopS.
Ninety per cent Of native Egyptians
suffer with trachoma. Twenty-Five per
cent of Chinese have it. There is much
trachoma in Brazil. Syria, Ireland and
Russia. Our quarantine officers are
very watchful and admit no one to this
country If his eyes look suspicious. until
they are satisfied the trouble Is not
trachoma.
Trachoma is a serious economic prob
lem. The partial blindness attending it
renders victims incapable of working in
many skilled trades. In China tHa-
choma probably causes greater eco
nomic loss than floods or famines

Poverty, overcrowding, insanitary liv-

factors which seem to favor the disease

very conditions in many instances.
Trachoma is very prevalent among the
Indian tribes.
The contagion spreads directly from
