A New York woman of great) beauty called one day upon a friend, bringing with ber her 11-year-old daughter who gives promise of be coming as great a beauty as her Another. It chanced that the callers were j shown into a room where the friend had been receiving a milliner, and there were several beautiful hats ly ing about. During the conversation the little girl amused herself by ex amining the milliner's creations. Of the number that she tried on, she seemed particulai ly pleased with a I large black affair which set off her light hair charmingly. Turning to [ her mother the little girl said; "I look just like you now, moth-| er,t don't I?" "Sh!" cautioned the mother, with uplifted finger. "Don't be vain, dear."-Lippincott's. Helps for the pring?ew ng . It is a good plan to get out all of last season's garments, and see just what can be repaired and re modeled for future use, and to make a list of every new garment to be made for each member of the iniiy. The next thing is to make vcr, or do whatever is necessary u the old garments! to have them o readiness when the time comes <> usu them. In the meantime, if -s'HU-to do so, the forehanded housewife will provide material for ali the common sewing 'and before '.he spring work with garden and poultry comes on she will have .nade up all tho underwear, every day dresses, aprons, shirts, etc., and nave it done and off her mind. | It is a satisfaction, and an econ pmyas well, to have good patterns. A good pattern is a help in doing the work quickly and easily*and no danger of spoiling a garment and wasting good material, as:, is often tfone without proper patterns. Pat terns for e\ cry conceivable garment film be bought for 10 or 15 cents *\ch; and those for shirts, under arm en tn. every day dresses, a*d ch things may be used for B. ?s a great help' (if one caa pro nsidcrable material at one cut out a number of gar ling careful that every Tng'needed to complete the gar ment is cut, and each garment fold ed separately. After the cutting is f\jne, one can do much of th? bast 4g and prepare for the machine fork at edd moments, or on days 'ihen one has but little time to sew. [hen when a day comes that can be 1 fevoted to machine work, one seems .) accomplish so much, and the (pishing up can be done at odd :mes. r When one has a quantity of but oDholes, or such work, to do, it is i good plan to take one's work and ?TO and spead ne day or the after noon with nome neighbor. One san have ist as delightful a day as though -ue were not sewing, and the fisk will not seem nearly so te ifi? .s.or disagreeable if doneLunder peasant circumstances. \ Airs. C. S. Everts. Drs. J.

When Edgefield Citizens Show The Way. There can be no just reason why any reader of this will continue to suffer the tortures of; an aching back, the annoyance of urinary dis orders, the dangers of serious kid ney ills when relief is so near at hand, and the most positive proof given that these ills can be cured. Read what an Edgefield citizen says: T Gray, Edgefield, S. C., says:. '. A few months ago kidney trouble came on me with torturing pains in my back and in my sides. The pas sages of the kidney secretions were irregular abd I felt so tired and worn ont that it was only with great effort that I was able to -get around. My back became lasi? and sore and I could hardly stoop or straighten. Fortunately Do?n's kidney pills were being advertised at that timer and some one advised me to try them. I did so, and the results were very satisfactory. The contents of one box made me feel like a differ ent man, driving away my pains andi aches and improving my health..

He used small sheets of paper, and as he read one he laid it aside on the pulpit As the sermon was long (and many leaves) the minister in con cluding, said: "We will close the service by the choir selecting some appropriate hymn." And that choir by association of ideas perhaps, unconsciously sang, "Leaves, nothing but Leaves."
