DYES BZ3T FOR CCLCtti/JG. If Oil Paints Are Substituted For Dyes They Must Ee Thir.ncd With Turpentine?Use Bread, Fiat Erusli. Apply Color With Quick Tnps. Stenciling is a pleasant change from needlework and a delightful field for experiment Earing cut tue pattern and secured the material to be dee?Yat ed. the next step is to prepare the col ors. The coloring matter used may be either oil paint, water color or dye. For fabrics dyes are thought by many to be the best coloring to use FOR TABLE HONKER. If the pattern to be stenciled is to be a lighter color thau the ground, oil paints will give the best results. For light colored materials where the de sign is to be darker than the ground water colors or chemical dyes are pref erable. They are fresh and transpar ent and do not hide the texture of the material, as is the case with the more opaque oil paints. If dyes are mixed with a little albu men they will be rendered indelible. Powdered albumen, obtained from the druggist, may be mixed with the pow dered dyes, or the white of au egg may be used for this purpose. This will make a more permanent coloring than water color paint After the dyes thus treated have been applied the fabric should be pressed on the wrong side with a hot iron. This will make the colors fast. In stenciling pillow covers dyes are the best coloring agent to use. If oil paiuts are to be used they should be thiuned with turpentine. Mix the paints in a deep saucer or old cup and try the colors on a sample of the material before going ahead with the work. If more than one color is to be used on a siugle pattern It is best to have a separate brush for each color. Remember that the colors should harmonize well and not be too strik ins. The soft, subdued tones are the most satisfactory! In working with dyes some have found It advantageous to add a little mucilage to the dyes after they have been mixed with boiling water. This will not lie necessary if the worker is skillful. Use only a little color at 9 time on the brush, so that it will not run or blue the edge of the pattern. If the brush is too wet the color will j run and spoil the desigu. I A broad, fiat bristle brush should be used and the color be applied not DESIGNS FOR PILLOW COVEK. with an ordinary brush stroke, but with quick repeated taps, which will drive the color into the fabric. There are various ways of enhanc ing the effectiveness of the stenciled desigu. It may be brought out by outlining with heavy floss in a harmonious col or or may be made decidedly effective by outlining with black. This treat ment would not be suitable for all subjects, but would look very well on a pillow top. Something For the Needlewoman. There is the nicest little affair which will lie invaluable to the needlewoman who is fond of embroidering dainty de signs upon Hugerie and house linen It is the new stiletto, which is made with a gauge, so that the size of the greatest diliiculties found in eye let work (which in itself is the sim plest kind to embroider) is the art (>f uiaking the eyelets of uniform size. This liuli- instrument obviates the dif ficulty and will be gratefully received by the enthusiastic needlewoman. Tuore is one preparation known today (hat will promptly help the stomach.

Unless the bride's family can afford to have a chinch decorated w:th palms ard Cowers it is better ^ hoi "! the cere niony'either in the bouse or in a hall only large euoug'i to accommodate the guests. By Ibis arrangement the clilll and bare effect sometimes met with in churches is avoided. Bear in mind always that practically every expense in connection with the wedding belongs either to the bride or her parents, and often it is necessary to consider how a limited amount can best be laid out To arrange not an altar, but a spe cial part of the room or hall, where the clergyman and bridal party stand, is easily done. For this a few ferns and palms may be hired for a small sum and grouped together to form a back ground. Should tabjes or stands be required tbey may be covered with white cotton. . One bride, whose house wedding was so pretty that her friends have remem bered it, arranged a kneeling stand for herself and the bridegroom by laying on the floor a piece of carpeting about six feet long rolled twelve Inches deep. Over this was placed a white fur rug. The effect was charming, and the pad ding was comfortable for the knees. Gut flowers of course add greatly to the charm of the room, and at a sum mer wedding blossoms of the seasou are not expensive. The flowers carried by the bride and her attendant, if she has one, are sup plied by the bridegroom. If the wedding is a small one and it is intended ilial the reception Kbr.ll 1?? Informal it is quite proper for friends to be bidden by note instead of en graved cards. In this way money is saved. The notes, if written by the bride elect, must be sent In the name of her mother or guardian?that is. the girl to be married does not issue the in vitations, and should It be necessary for her to do the writing she should say: Dear Mrs. James?I am writing In be half of my mother (or father) to ask if you and Mr. James will not give us the pleasure of your company on the occa sion of my wedding to Mr. Charles Jones and the reception afterward at such and such a place on Thursday, May the 3d, at 12 o'clock. Yours sincerely, JESSICA FROST. For this communication small, plain note paper should be chosen, and the writing should be on the first page alone. Such an invitation requires an answer from all invited. The simplest refreshments may be served. Sandwiches, cakes, coffee and chocolate are quite good form. When one can afford them it is nice to have salads, bouillon and Ices, but they should not be considered necessary Wedding cake is not an essential, hul at a small wedding there may lie one big round cake, cut and distributed by the bride. KEEP OLD SHEETS. Many Places In the Household Where They Are Utilized. I There are a number of ways in which every scrap of an old siieet may be ut!Ii:'.ed if one will give the subject thought First, there are very few housekeepers ignorant of the fact that if the sides are sewed together and the sheet cut through the center it will be given a new lease of life. Twilled sheets, by reason of their softness, com bined with their substantial weave, make excellent polishing cloths and good undercovers for ironing boards. Old cottou sheets make good bags for inclosing gowns and coats In the wardrobe, one large sheet being s?f flcient for two wardrobe bags. An old sheet will cut up Into several slips for use on the pillows over the tlcklug. An other jdan is to take the best parts for making sheets for cots and cribs, where there are children, reserving the very thin portions for use as dusters. A large apron for covering the skirt to be used for bedmaklng can be made from half a discarded sheet. Very soft old sheets may be cut in pieces 40 by 20 and devoted to baby's wear. Iu the sickroom there is no end to the possibilities of an old sheet One-half laid across the bed under the patient will serve as a draw sheet Small pieei s may be substituted for a hand kerchief and then burned. In iufec tioi s cases an old sheet may be dipped lu .. disinfectant and hung outside the d;?.. ? of a sickroom. i ii sweeping days there Is a need for :>'?.: sheets for covering the furniture As linen wears well and keeps its color <n the last thread, many very pretty pieces of decorative work may be L-volved from it. An oblong piece. IvmsUtched all the way around, then i- broidered, will make a cover for baby's carriage. Small squares set to gether with insertion and lace will make a dressing table cover. Tray cloths and serving cloths of linen are dainty, and simple hemming is within the skill of any person who knows how to use a needle, while (-lex er fingers can convert these remnants into most dainty looking and original creations that will not In the slightest suggest their relations io an old sbeet.

In England is a boy musical com poser who is only ten years old. Hlf KABO, THE HUNTSMAN. name is Max Darewski, and he Is a real prodigy. Not very long ago Mas Darewski conducted an orchestra of 5,000 performers in the great Crystal palace, near London, and never made a mistake. When be was only five years old he composed a waltz, "Le Reve." which has been played by hundreds of orchestras. Next he composed a march called "England's Crown." He is as busy aud as successful with his music as If lie were thirty years old" instead of ten. But this wonderful boy has a favorite recreation, and that is playing vith and teaching his dog. a beautiful creature of the Dalmatian breed. The dog's name Is Reve, after Max's first waltz. The word "reve" is French, slg uifying "dream." Max has taught Reve so many tricks that he knows al most as much as a circus dog.

He was In his master's room, a id besides bark tog and maklug a great racket. Prince sprang upon his master's bed and dragged the covers off him. That aroused the master, Mr.' Otto, In n hurry. He jumped out of bed and heard in the hall the dread cry of "Fire! Fire!" The shouts were from a woman, who had also been aroused by the barking of Prince. The other people in the house bad heard it, too, and all had jumped up and were dressing them selves and running out.
