It la quite the thing now to take a plain material and transform it Into a cheeked or striped dhe by means of heavy stitching in self or contrasting color, or stitching in floral or conventional design may be done so skillfully as to seem a printing or painting on the fabric. There Is no limit to individuality of design where stitching la applied.

Many of these ideas are good, of course. But they are really of little benefit unless they are weighed and tested before acceptance. Learn to do your own work, and your own thinking. Get out of the Cage of dependence. Form your own opinions, and act on them. If your early years are spent leaning on others, your later years. will probably be spent In the poor The habit of dependence Is the hardest of all habits to break. It can nevet be broken after you. are forty. (© by John Blake.) | LUELLA SAYT-I Fauj USED that There umjx two euRE WAYo?

For two years I lived In a town that supported the most active set of gossips I ever encountered; you know—the sort of place where you hate tobe the first one to leave a party because you know what the rest of them are going th do to you after you have gone. Soon after I left one of the town’s most prominent gossips varied a friend in my city. I said to my family that I should have to do something to entertain her, otherwise she would go home and talk about how :uean I was, so I Invited her to have luncheon at quite a nice place, my intention being to swank a little so shewouldn’t have a chance to report anything unfavorable. When we met as arranged, I wasaurprlsed to see her friend with her, and more surprised when said friend went right along with us into the restaurant Between them they ordered a aomewhat lavish luncheon, and when the check was presented to me I was short the miserable sum of 15 cents,, and I had to borrow from my guest. I know the town had a fruitful topic of conversation for a long, long: time. —Chicago Tribune. Armies of Ants. Anta are harmless creatures In Canada. In South America are some bigenough to hide a quarter. Fiercest of them are the army ants, which organize themselves into battalions At certain times of the year these insect® move In dense masses along the nai> row forest paths. No living creature, not even the Jaguar or the tapir, can face them. If any animal failed tomove out of the way of the army they would simply pass over it. each nnt taking a bite without stopping, and in a few minutes nothing would be left but bones. Amongst these ants there are special classes. The fighters have huge, jaws, almost as big as their bodies. The workers collect food and build the nests, but they do nothing of the tidying up. which Is the wotk of a special class of housemaid ants. Others make massage their particular duty.
