CHAPTER XI. (Continued.) Who that knew the whole story would fay that she had aught to complain of, ecure in her place and possessions; but, oh, woe for that happy dream that had brousht the smile to her lips, but halF an hour ago, by her fireside ! Blindly, stumblingly, she found 'her way back to her own room, with the one instinctive idea of shelter. She knew it all now knew the real cause of all the bitterness, of all the happiness of the last three weeks. Spurred by her own tormenting thoughts she sprang up from the sofa where she crouched, and paced the floor, as many a jealous woman has paced befoie. And then, afraid that any further delay in joining the tea-time croup in the library might bring- her a visit from her husband, she lit a light and carefully inspected herself in the glass, and then with a composed, if weary face, went down stairs. She found Flora and Nellie sitting in the firelight, and with one quick glance saw that there were no traces of tears on the latter's face, at least none that could be seen in that uncertain light. She joined in their discussion of winter dresses and London tailors, and in her preoccupation betrayed a knowledge of the subject which brought from Nellie the rcms rk : "One really would think that you had never Ifen out of England. Her answer was ready enough. "It's the easiest and cheapest way to get one's things sent oat. Most people do it. Then Stewart came ia, announcing that he had just been to look for her, and she asked about the incidents of his day, in quite as expansive a fashion as was usual with her. ' How well he looked in his riding things, and in what good spirits be seemed. She watched him exchanging some commonplace remark with Nellie, to whom he always talked a little more than to Flora, besides, Mr. Harter had come in, and, as usual, was sitting a little apart with that lady, deep in discussin; schools and clubs. The old. fire-lit library formed an ordinary picture of domestic life. When they separated to dress for dinner. Stewart followed his wife upstairs, and at the door of her sitting-room .raid : "May I come in for a few minutes? There is plenty of time." "No, there is not, she answered pleasantly, "for I promised Jeanne to try on a new dress. I've put it off .three times," and she went in and closed the door. CHAPTER XII. ' Some hard hours for Matilde lay between bed-time and the next morning's late daylight, hours when she was free to let the passion of pride and jealousy and bitter shame sweep over her unchecked. But by the time that she roused herself from a late short sleep, her resolve was shaped. She would play her part, and carry ont her share of the bargain, and then, when the battle was won and she had done her best in it, she would demand her freedom freedom to go live her own separate life. Let him enjoy the place and the money which he had made use of her to wint she would have none of it. And so, once again, as she thought, she was facing life with no strong arm behind hrr. Strange to think how unconsciously she had been leaning oa Stewart's strength ! By some coincidence, Stewart had that day for the first time gone off early to a meet. This mad it easier to her to come forth and face the world. Mathilde seemed destined to come un expectedly on Mis Fearon's interviews, for when, in the course of the mornh.?. the went at her usual hour to join Sir James in the conservatory, she saw that lady seated on a low camp-stool beside him, and holdin in her hands a letter, from which she had apparently been reading him extracts. The letter was hastily folded as she approached, and the reader looked up with a slight heightening of color. "Don't let me disturb you, Mafhilde said ooliily ; but the old man stretched out an eager hand to hers. You couldn't disturb us. my . dear. Nellie is just giving me Norman's news, which i3 only a few hours ahead of himself." Nellie looked decidedly disconcerted, as though she had not intended Mathilde to know whom her letter was from. Oh, 1 often bring my morning budget to give uncle bits out of my day's gossip! But 1 must run away now. for dear Flora wants me to go down to the village." and with her usual flutter Nellie was off. "Good little girl, good little girl," Sir 'James mused. "But she wouldn't have done for Jem's ( wife. He'd never have been proud of lier, as he is of you, my dear." MI hardly think that he is very proud of me, was the only answer she could think of. But the old man chuckled. "That's all you know, my dear. Jem was always quiet, but you should hear him talking away to me about you. If when he was a boy he had only learned to talk to me frankly, as he does now, things might have been different!" and Sir James sighed. Frankness ! How much frankness could there be in his talk of her to the father against whom her very presence was a conspiracy? As much frankness as there was in his talk to her, she supposed, and her shame at their duplicity burned deeper. How relieved she was when her f;ther-in-law asked her to read him the j aper, a habit which had become almost daily with them. It was thf.t afternoon about tei-time that the new cousin made his appee ranee. Mathilde's first impression was ne of surprise at his unlikeness to her he sband. Of slight build and undersized, daik. too. he was not at all her idea of what one of the family would look like, althoi gh on the pale, clean-shaven face she could trace characteristics that showed that ha and James Stewart were cousins. Flora's introduction was stiff an I formal to a degree, but Norman Stewart put an unexpected warmth into his gmt'ng. "Next to seeing dear old Jem himself," he said, as he held l.er hand, "is meeting his wife and seeing how lucky he has been." And a glance helped to point the complement. "Old travelers learn to take glow ing accounts with caut'.on, but I can saj, with the Queen of Shcba. 'the half of it has not been told me. " Mathilde could not but laugh and flush a bit 'as she withdrew her hand. "Please, don't make me shy," she said. 'My husband should have been here to welcome you. He told me that he would be sure to be back before you came. Ah ! here he is," she broke off, as Stewart appeared in the doorway, muddy and dilapidated.'' The mutual greeting was quiet. , "Hullo, Norman; got here first?" and Gkd to see you back. Jem." Mathilde, watching the long handshake, wondered how much sincenity it conveyed. Someone else, too, was watching it keenly, for she caught Miss Fearon's strained gaze, fixed on the two, in a nervous fashion. Then came tea and the business of

of Hearts JOHN Leslie Publishing House handing the cups, and at least a surface air of cheeriness to those who had come u Irom the outside cold and darkness to tue fireside comfort. That evening, and nearly .'very other after it, the dinner party consisted of three couples, apparently quite content with each other, for the parson was invited nearly every night for the obvious reason of making up an even number. The local resources at Orkwell were not large, and the family mourning still further curtailed them. It had been to Mathilde's mingled disappointment and relief that Stewart had made no attempt at a few quiet words before dinner, and she went down by herself with a sullen resentment burning at her heart. In her present humor the newcomer's talk was a welcome distraction, and it was a relief to make such answers to the semi-patronizing queries as to the voyage and such, with which he began the conversation. "And so you spent Christmas Day at sea? How very strong-minded and sensible in you ! Norman said. It was beginning to dawn upon him that Mathilde was not a lady whom it wa3 wise at patronize. "I'm not at all sure," she returned, "that we were either strong-minded or sensible. Even at sea one doesn't seem to escape the contagious sentiment of Ihe day. Solitary confinement would be the only way to avoid doing or saying something that one would afterwards regret." "I should think that on board ship the opportunities of getting into mischief were limited," he suggested. nis large experience of charming married ladies made him quick to see that her words were meant for her husband's ear. and he was beginning to enjoy the play. "Oh, no; they are only concentrated." Stewart looked steadily across at her. "Are you going to confess to having gambled away a private hoard at poker?" he asked. She looked back at him as steadily. "You must agree that I Lad not much luck in my ventures." "I'm not so sure of that," he answered carelessly ; and the words seemed to her such a taunt on the material benefits that she had taken from him, that a deep, painful flush burned her face. Norman, feeling the atmosphere too electric, interposed. "One should never spend Christmas in England. Taris or Nice are the only civilized places." "Yes, Paris isn't bad," she answered absently, her thoughts going back to a red sunset on Christmas Eve over the Luxembourg gardens. "You know Paris?" he asked in surprise. "I thought "You thought that I had never been'out of the backwoods," she laughed. She had recovered her self-control, and was walking warily now. "What should you say if you knew that I have been an art student in Paris?" 0 She had now, without any doubt, attracted the; attention of the whole table; but with a quick glance towards Stewart, she knew that he approved of the way in which she was playing her cards. While the others listened, Norman answered. "With all due deference to your veracity, I should say that I have seen art students in Paris, and that I cannot imagine you among their ranks." 'The poor students !' she laughed. "But perhaps I had not time to acquire the griminess of the type." "You certainly had not," he agreed, with conviction. "May I ask how long your studies lasted?" and he looked at her keenly. "I worked there one winter," she answered, and again shs saw in her husband's face that she had answered right. "An art student !" Norman scoffed. "You had finishing lessons for a winter. Was not that it?" "The same thins with a different name," she agreed; and then Nellie broke in: "How naughty in you never to tell us that you were an axtist ! I am sure that you must have lovely pictures of the prairies put away somewhere not confess, hasn't she, Jem?" "Not that I know of," he answered, readily. "Mosquitoes in summer and blizzards in winter are scarcely condumc to picture-making." "What a dreadful country it must be ! Are you glad to get away from it?" Nellie lisped. "This is certainly an improvement on it," she answered; and to avoid hearing more, Mathilde turned again to Norman. She was beginning to feel friendly to wards this man, who looked at her so appreciatingly and led up so well to her conversational effects, and she was quite content to settle down to play bezique with him after dinner, although she saw that Nellie was doing her best to draw him away to the piano. Stewart had been called out of the room, and Miss Fearon had her choice between solitude and the ecclesiastical couple. The game was amusing and long, and their good-nights were gay and friendly. When the end of the following day had come Mathilde laughed to herself as she bethought how much of it had been spent in Norman Stewart's company. The gTeater part of the morning had been passed in the library over a . fine collection of miniatures, which she found, with great professions of surprise that she had not et seen. These he made more interesting with scraps of family history, intermingled wi'h a collector's bits of out-of-the-way knowledge. "When you come over to Paris you shall see my own poor little collection, Nothing to equal this, but still I have one or two good things. There is a head of Madame de He-Gamier on a snuff-box lid, he added tenderly. While they were thus occupied, both Jem and Miss Fearon made separate sal lies into the room, but each retired on finding that their attention was not to be diverted. In the afternoon there was a long walk through the beech-woods, and although Nellie was with them, I jjr part was distinctly that of a third person. But Mathilde was not to get through this day without an interview with her husband. She was skilfully intercepted in a twilight visit to Sir James, and fol lowed from the room by him. How mad ly her heart thumped as she walked along the dusky passage at his side! There was a scat running round the of a window through which could 11 a young moon in the pale west trn cky, against which the tree brauche drew a dark tracery. "Do you mind stopping here a moment? Stewart said, motioning towards the seat. """Why? It is so cold and dismal here." And she shivered. ' "I should be glad of a few minutes ot your society, and I should not have thought that you would find it cold in your furs. But as you prefer. I can co "lie to your sitting-room if you have no dress to try on." "Oh, I suppose that it is not too cold." And the stopped. As there was no escape, she chose the place from which it was possible to beat a retreat. So she siood looking down on hc wan winter night, and Stewart stood looking

down at her for so long in silence that

from sheer nervousness she was driven to speak first, and to ask : "Well, what is it?" "I merely thought it as well to ascertain if my fellow-conspirator had any report to make. It is some time since I have been honored by one." If her tone were impatient, his was in cisive to haughtiness. The echo of it seemed to linger in hers as she answered: "There is none that I know of. As you have heard, I have been as frank as possible with your cousin." "Yes, that was riht enough," he agreed ; then suddenly, "Do you think that you are playing an altogether wise game?" She was startled into looking up, and read only sternness in his face. "In what way?" she demanded. "In allowing Norman to monopolize so much of your society." Then, as he saw a quick retort coming, "Far be it from rae to dream of interfering with your new friendship, only are you quite sure of the object on his part of so much in timate conversation? "Is it impossible that the object may be good-will and kindliness?" she flashed out. "Not at all," he replied, "or even admiration." "And if it were admiration, what should it matter to you, so long as I do not fail to carry out my bargain?" The taunt had broken down his enforced self-control. "By Heaven, it is a bargain that I have had about enough of," he said hoarsely ; and the words seemed to strike her as a blow. The voices of two approaching servants broke the spell, and, turning, she hurried away, never pausing until she had gained the shelter of her own room. If Mathilde had not appeared to flirt with Norman 'Stewart before that evening, she certainly did so then. (To be continued.) DEATH BY ELECTRICITY. Am a l'alnleifl Method of Exemtion "Xot Yet Beyond Crillclnm. You have had recently, in the United States, many discussions as to the humaneness of electrocution, the result being to show that your system of dealing out death for criminal offenses 13 not beyond criticism, says Francis Marre, French scientist, in the New York World. When you first invented this method of doing your criminals to death you began by experimenting on calves and oxen. These animals quickly sucevmbed to the shocks given them. As a consequence you thought that in liie case of a man results would be the bame. Y'ou have found out that conditions are not at all the same. When a man 13 killed by accident that Is to say, when he is stricken down before he has had time to think of the catastrophe and prepare his mind for it he drops like the unthinking bullock to which a shock has been administered. When the condemned man is led out0 to execution, however, his relative strength, or vibratory energy, both mental and bodily, undergoes a great change toward the death-dealing current Whether he wishes it or not, his Instinct of self-preservation makes him assert himself and in reality he measures his own strength against that of the current, which has been prepared to deal with him as if he were in a normal condition. As a matter of fact, the nervous strength which he naturally exerts is proportionate to tb consciousness that the supreme moment of his life has come. At this moment the mental terror of the victim exceeds all other feeling, and almost wholly deadens the physical sense. In many a case in which persons have survived lightning strokes., no especially -painful sensation has been recorded. In cases, however, where experimenting surgeons have submitted themselves to electrical shocks in order to test the efficacy of electrocution to within reasonable limits, the patient on Issuing from the sleep or stupor brought on by the voltage has confessed that during the experiment he was conscious of a total paralysis of the bodily and mental functions long before his consciousness disappeared. He could see that he was disappearing from the world. Naturaly, nothing beyond this could be attempted without endangering the patient's life. The question, then, whether electrocution Is a torment or a painless death remains open. As such it cannot be said to have justified itself, and, in the interests of humaneness, a more certain method of killing criminals should be devised. An Amateur.

He queered me good and plenty. Wickson Told whoppers, en? Dickson Whoppers nothln'; he told the truth. The In-Weekly Train. A New Englander was traveling In Texas on a new railroad. "Hello, neighbor!" he called out to a fellow traveler. "How about the southbound train? How often does it run? "She's a try-weekly," said the Tex an. "She runs down one week and tries m'ghty hard to get back the next." Judge. Tbe Limit. "Eddie, I want the lawn well sprin kled this evening." "All right, pop." "Exceptionally well, understand?

"Woman's Place In Ilulnes. The non-recognition of woman's place In business life is still prevalent, says Miss Harriet Richards in the Bookkeeper. Many a business man looks upon the feminine element of his office force, from the telephone girl to hi3 private secretary (and what on earth would he do without her?), as a necessary nuisance, and considers the position that woman to-day holds in American business life an erroneous one. Nevertheless, the fact remains that over six million women and girl3 In these United States are self-supporting, and with only nine exceptions they are engaged in every occupation in which men are engaged. Since this Is a fact, who shall say it is wrongly so? If the feminine element is a necessity in the home, where his majesty throws off the cares of the day and is ready for rest and recreation, may it not be conceded that there are those qualities in women that are necessary as a balance to those masculine qualities which are continually in action in the business world? It has been said that "women are not all fools, although men seem to expect them to be, very often." Woman has an intuitive perception that enables her to see Into a thing more quickly than a man, to see at once results other than those satisfactory to selfish desire; she has greater foresight, greater patience, a better sense of harmony, of proportion and of order. The French recognize these facts, and to-day in France the wife Is not only made familiar with her husband's business, but she has become a most helpful assistant to him in that connection.

Empire and Bolero. Bolero jackets are once again striving to regain their old-time popularity and are shown frequently on some of the newest models. A late importation in water green satin built on empire lines has the jacket effect, beautifully braided with silk soutache In shade matching the material. The high grade is braided in design directly In front and edged top and bottom with a single row of braid. Nervei Dangeroa for Business Women. The business woman who lets a reprimand for a mishap reduce her to tears or a state of nervousness that utterly unfits her for work for hours would be more efficient If she could philosophically put such things aside with the mental reservation, "It's done and can't be undone;' I'll try to prevent Its happening again," and let it go at that T'ie person who can take a disappointment stoically, who can get the right perspective and see that In a week or month or a year It will be a little thing, though just now it seems big, has a help along life's highway that will considerably brighten dark places. It Isn't meant that we should be careless or indifferent. It Is meant that one should put a right valuation on the things that disturb one's serenity. It Isn't meant that In great trouble we can summon philosophy to take out the sting. But for the trifles, the Inconsequential things. It Is a most useful armor. 4 How to Be Human. Success in human relationships means the possession, to some extent at least, of the power so naively shown by the little girl who walked with her mother In the park. She entered so spontaneously and so entirely Into the life about her, she felt so intimately and so vividly the experiences of the trees and the flowers, the blrd3 nnd the squirrels, that she temporarily lost the consciousness of her own person ality, and as she skipped about came running to her mother, crying, "Oh, mother, mother, isn't it enjoying it self!" Harper's Bazar. Wedding lllnc Curiosities. The Idea that the . wedding ring should be worn on the third finger 'of the left hand because " a nerve connects this finger with the heart," I3, says the writer of an article in Wom an's Life, of Roman origin, but, oddly enough. It is not continued on the continent as In England, for la France, Belgium and Germany, and most other European nations, the "engagement ring" finger 13 the third finger of the left hand, while the "wedding ring" finger is the third finger of the right hand. Girl to Wear AvrnlnK. The smartly drc?sed girl, Instead cf carrying an umbrella to protect; her new hat, now stretches an awning over It. This contrivance sho can make in soft rubberized silk, in attractive colors, j It 13 to lie hooked around tbe brim, and arcund the crown there arc draw strings which shirr it up into a toft drapery effect, which, topped cf? with a bow, gives a very graceful effect. Tfot American Women. Occasionally some benighted Individual ventures to repeat the silly assertion that American women lack the pol3e and feminine dignity that characterize their eex in European countries. Anyone who cherishes sih a delusion should read the comments of European newspapers on the conduct of women during the visit of King Edward to Marlenbad. In their Insane ambition to secure rcaie souvenir cf royalty scores cf well dressed and ppparently respectable wimen followed the monarch so closely that the police had to Interfere. They even crcwdr-' around him in the restaurants, fi&H

IP P

ing to snatch a cigar stub, a crumb of bread, or even the matches that he

had used to light his cigars. Just imagine American women participating in such disgraceful proceedings! American women may not be controlled by inherited respect for long outgrown conventions. Few of them, however, are lacking in ability so to conduct themselves as to command the respect of the most distinguished visitor, be he President, or King. Chicago Journal. fads and panctes 1 - Folds and fichus over the shoulders are quite a feature of evening gown3. Sleeveless coats with a color contrasting with the gown under them are In growing favor. The scarf which matches the gown is becoming one of the familiar features for the light wrap. The winter promises to be a season of extra long, narrow coats over plain, striped or checked gowns. A gay Beau Brummel frill at the throat transforms the tailored suit into something dainty and feminine. Black embroidery upon brown is smart when the brown is not too dark to afford ä contrast with the black. The coarser weaves of tussore, which have the preference just now, look at a distance like a piece of rough canvas. One of the oddities of the season is the introduction of the metallic and spangle effects among the cottons and linens. Among the popular fabrics are the new two-tone changeable satins, the face being of one color and the back of another. Dog collars of velvet are especially pretty when embroidered in tiny buds and flowers or a spray of foliage, in natural colors. The wide ßhlrtwaists, striped with color matching the gowns with which they are worn, are In great favor with the girls just now. Yellow Is more to be seen this season than for years. It is used not only for sashes or collars or tapestry fin ishes, but entire frocks are made of It. The fad for stenciling has extended as far as the children's wardrobe, and mothers of young children are decorating the hems of skirts, yokes, collars, etc., with this artistic work. Unconscious Worry. , A great many people worry unconsciously, says Success. They don't understand why they are so tired In thd morning, why their sleep was so disturbed and troubled. This mental disturbance is often caused by the habit of taking things too seriously, carrying too much weight of responsibility. Everywhere we see people who take life too seriously. Most of us are like the motorman, who not only starts and stops the car and tries to keep from running over people, but also feel3 tre mendous anxiety and responsibility about the motive power. One of the most helpful lessons life can impart is that which shows us how to do our work as well as It can be done and then let principle take care of the result. How often have we been amazed to find things come out much better than we antici pated, to find that the great unseen wilderness of trial and tribulation into the open has guided our life ship through the fog of difficulties and sorrow, through 6torms of hardships and losses,- safely Into port. The pilot does not lose heart when he can not see his way. He turns to that mysterious compass which sees as plainly In the fog and guides as faithfully in the tempest as when the sea is like glass. Grass Stains. It is very annoying to have a pretty, light dress ruined with grass stains. This Is the time of year when the children are liable to have their white dresses stained with gras3. and If the offending spot is not properly handled at once, it may not wash out, thus ruining an otherwise good garment. Sometimes, If the stain 13 a slight one. it will wash out with clear water and ammonia, but not usually. A simple remedy is to spread molasses, or a paste made of soap and baking soda, over the spot3 and let It stand for a few hours before washing out. Another way is to keep the stains moist and let it lay in the hot sunshine until the spots turn brown, when they can be washed out with clear water. Grass stains are soluble in alcohol, but it Is not always safe to use it on very delicate colors. Will Test tbe I-mvr. A test case of the law In Ohio that forbids a married woman to teach will probably be made in the case of Mrs. Merritt Mason, of Helena. She made a contract to teach before she was married, and when she took unto herself a husband she was told that the contract was void. Sho declares that a teacher can only be discharged for cerI tain reasons, and having a husband Is J net one of them. Use salt water applied with a coarse brush to clean willow furniture. Dry well. A cloth dipped into met!.ylated spirits will be found useful in cleaning brown shoes. To bleach handkerchiefs, after wash ins '.et, them soak over night in wate: in vhich a bit of cream of tartar has becri dissolved. Try keeping sewing Implements b?ndy in the kitchen for dressing fowls strong thread, cord, a thimblea needle and scissors. Moistened cream of tartar will remove Iron rust. Gras3 stains in white goodä should be saturated with paraffin and put out in the sun. Cut sheeU of tinfoil and place under the flower vase dollies and you will ! have no trouble with any dampness ' n"rrAnz the b??t polished furniture. clean embossed brass make a so

lution of one ounce of oxalic acid and

one pint of soft water. Apply It with a soft brush and polish with chamois. Don't rinse laces in blued water, under a mistaken notion that it will improve the color. It won't. Rinse In skimmed milk, which will give a soft, creamy tint Fancy baskets in colors can be cleaned with water the same as any basket, but the colors are less liable to run if cold water and naptha soap are used. Lined baskets can be cleaned in this manner. To Improve the appearance of rusty black lace, soak it in vinegar and water two tablespoonful3 of vinegar to a pint of cold water then rinse it in cold coffee and iron lc, while still damp, between flannel. In putting down linoleum or oilcloth have strips of molding nailed above the linoleum where it comes to the baseboard. This prevents dust from getting underneath and also preserves the edges from moisture under the floor covering. A linoleum may be freshened perceptibly if given a coat of linseed oil and paraffin. Boil the oil and wax together and apply, while still hot, with a brush. Use only enough to cover the surface, and when finished wipe it off dry with a cloth. Health and Beanty Hints. To draw a boil to a head peel the skin from a boiled egg, wet and apply at once. Ringworms disappear when painted a few times with iodine. Repeat application if required. Bind the white of an egg over burns or scalds. It will form a coating like varnish and give instant relief. If inflammatory rheumatism is not of long standing bathe the affected parts with sweet oil and saltpeter an ounce of the latter to a pint of oil. It Is very effective. When giving castor oil take a small tumbler and squeeze into it a tablespoonful of orange juice; next pour in the oil, then add more juice. The oil will form a globule in the center of the juice and can be swallowed without being detected. Soaking the feet night and morning in hot water for five minutes at least will do much toward relieving the pain. A mixture of alum, rock salt and borax in even quantities will be helpful in extreme cases. A German woman who suffered from neuralgia was cured by fasting, and hence in her opinion it is food and not money that Is the root of all evil. Medical authorities are already countenancing hunger cures for different maladies. A pleasant and refreshing mouth wash may be formed by mixing In a pint of distilled or otherwise pure water, two teaspoonfuls of prepared borax and a teaspoonful of camphor. Keep it tightly corked and shake well before using. Many persons find that a little peroxide of hydrogen brushed over the skin Immediately freckles appear has a marvelous power of dispelling them. One should, however, vary this treatment by applying some fatty cream, for the drug tends to wither the skin, and some skins It irritates greatly. Blouse of Pong-ee. Here is a model for blouse especially well adapted for pongee. The little bands might be Persian or Chinese embroidery, and the frog buttons, wood brown. Either brown silk or ribbon velvet in same shade would make a pretty collar. Home-Made Una. For a useful house rug, cut burlap 4 laches wide, yard long, unravel both sides for IV2 inches, fold, and sew the center. Take a piece of burlap the size you want the rug. Begin to sew the burlap In the center, one of the strips that is unraveled, turn the ends up, and sew In a circle to the square piece of burlap until the burlap Is filled. It can be sewed in any shape you would like. Dye it some nice color. Sla-btljr Tronsera Patch. To mend a pair of trousers for a boy of 12 years or under, rip out all seams to pockets and facings in front. Cut from places of cloth of same color or from old trousers belonging to the men folk, with the ripped out leg piece for pattern. Sew In below pockets and finish seams as if making new breeches, press, and when coat is on the trousers look new. Para to Be Indian. Mrs. Ada White, of De3 , Moines, says that she is one-sixteenth Cherokee and hence she has the right to claim something like $8,000 cash and lands worth as much from Uncle Sam. Her lawyer says that she can easily prove her lineage and that she i3 consequently pretty certain to get what she asks for. Bastlngr Goods. In basting the goods on the lining of jackets and waists pull the lining a trifle at the waist line. Then when basting the waist together stitch the goods until the fullness in the lining is gone. This will make a snug fit and there will never be any wrinkles at the waist line. One Teacher Honored. .Miss Laura F. Beale lives in Winthrop, Me., where she taught school for twenty-five years.
