BABY'S LITTLE SHOES. A Pretty Way to Make Them the Mother'® Constant Companion®. "The little half-worn nhoeß, stubby and shabby and old." You have seen them on many a mother's table close by where she is working, where she can look at them every hour of the day if she wishes; sometimes her gaze seems to pass them, and you know then that the small white feet that once filled those shoes have found flower-lined paths over the mountains in the valley called "Peace." There is such a pretty way to make these shoes one's constant companion, says a writer in the Washington Star. Doth those of the baby that has gone away and those of that wonderful ilrst baby that gets nil the spoiling and the benefit of all the ignorance of , young parents, who, of course, think that its like never before was known. I saw recently a unique illustration of a 1 young mother's devotion to the memory of her first born, whose little life was j cut short before the second birthday. The first button boots of the child wore made into a pincushion and jewel casso, ! and were always in use on the mother's j dressing ease. The shoe used for a pincushion was ! buttoned and then stuffed with cotton I until it was quite hard. Over the open- 1 ing at the top a covering was made of a piece of one of the child's dresses, nud a quilling of ribbon was put about th< J UAIIY-BUOE PINCUSHIONS. edge. The toe of the other shoo was j stuffed back to the middle of the in-1 step; then a piece of stiff pasteboard ! was made round, so as to slip into the ankle of the shoe and hold it stiff. It was lined with silk, and from the top was an extension of the silk, with a draw string; the edgo of the shoe was j finished with ribbon quilling, like the ; other. The shoes had been red kid, I and the mother had a kind of varnish with which she colored them when j they seemed to grow rusty. The two shoes were firmly gummed to the little ' china plate which the child had always | used, and the whole thing made a dainty memento of one so dearly loved. If the shoes have been black they can be renewed with shoe varnish; if they have been white you can clean them with gasoline, and anyone handy with & needle can fix them up. NEAT WALL POCKET. An FanHy-Mudc Catch-AU for Trinkets o Every Description. This catchy trifle looks summery and i pretty when fashioned from pink or blue chintz. The back is cut from cardboard, neatly covered with the ma terial which is to form the fancy, and is edged with a border and knots of ribbon. The chintz pocket, which is to hold your knicknacks, will be held out nice ly if stiffened with crinoline. The WALL POCKET. lower edge is brought down into gath ers, giving n round effect, and the up per corners are tacked to the card board background. The same ribbon garniture surround ing the back decorates the pocket, and a pretty finish is added in the ' shape of a graceful drape of Valen ciennes lacc, placed across the bottom, j New Way to Fix Photograph®. A frame for your photographs may be made as follows: Cut heavy card board in the shape of panels. Cut i square openings in these panels through j which your pictures may be seen, and cover the cardboard with a large piece of China silk. This may be cut from the center of each opening toward each corner of the same, drawn to the back of the cardboard and securely pasted or glued down. The pictures may then be arranged, and, lastly, a.second piece of cardboard fastened on the back of the panel, covering the whole. Water color paper may be substituted for the China silk, and a delicate spray painted upon it if desired. —Ladies' Dome Journal. HINTS ON REPAIRING. The Beauty of a Stitch in Time a® Ap plied to Household Good®. "The secret of seldom wanting new ; things is to keep tho old ones well mended," said a thrifty housekeeper as she showed me a shelf where she kept what she called "patches." There were little cans of different kinds of paint and enamel, different sized paint brushes, a box of liquid gilt, some good glue and remnants of all the different wall papers. The kitchen hearth was never al lowed to get shabby, but once a month was treated to a coat of dull Pompciiau red paint. When the gas fixtures grew disrep utable from being tarnished with age and mottled with flies they were given ; a coat of common white paint and then regilded. | Picture frames whose enamel had 1 yellowed received a new coat. Tho j gilding was retouched, and the result i was a new frame. Old wooden frames were enameled and picked out with gilt or stained mahogany and var : nished. The handsomo Chinese umbrella rack | was broken, but not on that account ! discarded, says a writer in the New i York Recorder. It was mended with ! cement with the greatest care and the ugly lines hidden with a brush dipped in liquid gill and passed along the zig | zag cracks, really enriching the quaint j oriental pattern. Ma ny a costly vase might bo mended j by this process, and so long as it was j only used as bric-a-brac no one would be the wiser. A good cement for broken china may be made by beating the white of an egg to a paste with flour; or half an ounco of gum arable may lie dissolved in a gill of boiling water and thickened with plaster of paris. Tho piano movers had broken and torn an ugly gash in the hall wall paper, but a single breadth carefully put on made it as good as now. Loosened chair rungs or arms were always quickly glued in place. A tiny hole in the wire screen door was never allowed to grow larger until first tho cat and afterward the dog had a free pass into the hall or kitchen. It was promptly mended with fine wire, and the screen doors were painted every year before they were put up, which make both wire nud frame last twice as long. We have oil heard tho old doggerel: Tor want of n null tho shoe was lost; For want of a shoo tho horse wag lost; For wont of a horse tho rldor was lost. It doesn't pay to run n houso on this plan. HOME ARITHMETIO. Tills Artlelo Tell® How to Measure n Room for Wnll Paper. To determine the number of rolls of paper to cover the walls of a room, measure the circumference, from which deduct the width of doors and windows and divide the remainder by three. Example. Let us suppose a room 113x10 feet, which has two doors and two windows, which average four feet wide. 12 pIuR.J2 and 10 plus 16 50 circumference. 4xl 10, doors and windows. 50 10 8)40 13'A, or say 14 rolls. This rule is Intended for a room oi not loss than 10 or more than 11 feet in height. For a room under 10 feet high, having a frieze say of 0 inches, we will proceed as before with the measure ment <f the room, deducting the width of doors and windows. Rut in this case multiply tho remainder by 2 and divide by 15; for this reason, that wo i can cut live lengthsoutof a double roll, | which placed side by side on the wall Cover a space 7 feet 0 inches from tho Ceiling, and instead of multiplying by? feet 0 inches wo multiply both by 2. Example.—Take a room 14x11, with two doors and windows; Circumference of room 50 I .ess for doors and windows 12 44 2 16)68 13 515 Say six double or twelve pieces Of course, if a dado Is required its width will determine how much paper will have to be deducted. —Carpet and Up holstery Trade Review. An Effective Dry Shampoo. Many women who have luxurious tresses and who take cold easily are obliged to forego washing them as often as they would like because of tho difficulty of getting them dry quickly. For such, a dry shampoo is tho next best thing, and, if carefully and thor oughly done, it removes the accumu lated dust and dandruff almost as well as washing. The hair should be shaken loosely out over tho shoulders and the head manipulated with tho fingers till all foreign matter is well loosened and scattered through tho hair, which should then lie parted in different places all over tho head, and the parts cleansed with a stiff little brush, after which the entire head and hair should be very thoroughly brushed in sections till the dandruff is brushed out as much as possible, when some good hair tonic or scalp cleanser may be rubbed on and the snarls engendered by the whole process gently oombed out, and tho ends of the hair clipped. This should always be dono once a month to pro mote the growth of the hair. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. MUSLIN curtains, figured and milled, look well for narrow windows iu apartments. AMMONIA should not bo used fre quently in water for bathing. It hard ens the skin and makes it cracl;. ACCORDING to roily Try, a good way to keep the cook in a good humor is to have the kitchen knives always sharp. ICED tea acquires a new flavor when served in long, thin glasses with a delicately cut slice of lemon floating on top. PUT an open box in the cellar with a peck of fresh lime in it; it will absorb the moisture and make it smell fresh and sweet. ALL embroidered articles, such as tray cloths, bureau scarfs, five o'clock tea cloths, silk board covers and the like, should be washed by themselves. FLAXSEED lemonade is excellent for a cold. To a pint of water add two small tablespoonfuls of seed, the juice of two lemons and sugar to suit. Ice for drinking. A LAST year's straw lint can bo sponged and cleansed with coffee, afterward pressing with a warm iron, laying the rim on a flat surface and using a pan for the crown. BITS of toilet soap which arc very small may be utilized. Make a bag of Turkish toweling about nine inches square and put iu it all the small pieces of soap. When three-quarters filled sew up the end and use the same as if it were a cake of soap. PAPER torn into small pieces make a comfortable stuffing for a cushion, es pecially if a layer of cotton wool is placed over it. Tho paper should bo put in a canvas case, or one of any strong material, first sewing it round; then lay on the cotton wool, and ovc that the cretonne. HANDY STEAMER BAG.

For this purpose a steamer bag Is very useful. It is easily made if care is taken in the measurement and folding. Take a square of drab linen, or any material that is alike on both sides, and bind it all around neatly with braid. Cut the square diagonally, and place one part exactly over the other. Crease these down the center from point to base, calling this line number one. On each side of the center line crease or draw six lines, numbering from the center, dividing the base lino into fourteen equal parts, as in Fig. 1. Stitch the two pieces together on each side down lines 8, then down lines 4, then stitch together the lines 5 of the f( r D mt ;r J? p | jIH QW" 3 FIO. a. upper piece. Next stitch the pieces to gether on each side down lines 0, stitch ing linos 7 of the upper piece together as was done at lines ft. Now fold so that lines ft and 7 of the upper piece will bo over the center line and lines 5 and 7 of the under piece will be at the outer edges of the bag. Turn the two small pieces of each side so that they will meet at the base lino over line 0. Bind with braid from A across the bottom to n, and sew loops of the braid at the two upper points and at A and n, and you will have a most convenient bag with fifteen pockets of various sizes, as seen in Fig. 2.—Youth's Com panion. I)ca<l anrl Pearl Ornament®. Sashes of soft, black gauze and o\ moire, with long floating ends, are much liked, and bead ornaments of every de scription, especially those in fine jet with festoons and fringes of beads, are lavishly used. Pearls and gold beads form charming ornaments for evening dresses; a bodice for instance, in shot straw color and salmon pink silk, has u large puffed sleeve finished off above the elbow with Louis XIII. rovers of silk, pearls, and gold beads above a flounce of guipure. The bodice, open in a V point, is embroidered in the same way, and epaulets to correspond fall from the shoulders. How to Make Choose f traws. To make choose straws, work to a smooth paste three ounces of prated Parmesan cheese, two ounces of (lour, n little salt and cayenne popper, and tho yolk of one egg. Roll this mixture upon a pic board until about an eighth of an inch thick and Ave or six inches each way across; cut In very narrow strips, place upon buttered tins and bake quickly to a lip-lit brown tint.

To Bo Au Fait Thoy Must Ilavo a Touch of Color. Artistic Glasses Richly F.namolcO in Whirr anl Gold—A Center Piece Which Is Really a Triumph In Fine Effect. The fashionable dinner-table of to day has a touch of color in its decora tion. Cut glass for the moment hus lost its popularity and an array of French and English glass flushed with color and wrought with glistcninggold designs has taken its placo. If yon wish to give a little dinner some day during this season select for the center-piece of your table a large, low bowl of green Bohemian glass, en ameled with white and gold daisies. Fill the bowl with Marguerites and let it stand upon a round mirror-mat. Your center-piece will be a triumph in artistic effect. These bowls come not only in green but in shades of ruby and f m, \ WII.I. np. FOUND EFFECTIVE. purple, and arc enameled most ex quisitely. Old-shaped flnger-bowls and punch cups In shapes to suit an art connoisseur are also made ol this beau tifully tinted Bohemian gluss. French glass and English art glass arc less expensive and almost as beau tiful in coloring and design. Green center pieces of French glass are shaped like a low basket. When filled with pink roses, with a rosebud or two turned about tho handle, one has sc oured an excellent effect. These bowls may bo bought for 84.60. Long, nar jww English glass vases sell for 81.50 each. Filled with ferns they are emi nently satisfactory as decorative bits for tho table. Many of the glass center pieces nro quite complicated affairs. Sometimes they show an array of small slender vases clustered together or perhaps a deep bowl will be guarded by tall vases at either side. Loving cups in tinted glass are also used as a center decora tion for the tablo. They are large and have handles of twisted gilt and white glass with enameled flowers growing upon their surface. Sometimes the enameling has a jeweled effeet. These cups sell for 83.50. When giving a color dinner the tinted glasses add much to the effect of the table. If green is the color desired the center piece may not only reflect the tint but the enndelabra or single can dlesticks may also be of green glass. The punch cups may rest upon curled lenves of green glnss, and they may lie in the shnpe of a half-opened blossom.
