Linen and Lace the Materials For This Have you ever noticed how easy It is to get all sorts of pretty things for girl babies and how hard it Is to pro curs caps and sacks for boys? To fill this need the accompanying sugges tion Is given. The illustration shows a cap made of handkerchief linen, part of a hand kerchief and lace. First provide yourself with a cap pattern the required size; then buy (for the six mouths age) half a yard of sheer linen 'thirty-six inches wide, a sheer hemstitched embroidered (linen) handkerchief, a skein of fine mercer ized embroidery cotton and four yards of French or German valenciennes lace one inch wide. Cut the headpiece according to di rections, which come with the pattern; then cut a piece four and a half inches wide and the length of the handker chief, which is usually twelve and a half inches. This is to be sewed very neatly to the front of the cap, turned over on the right side and ornamented with two rows of French knots, one row of small brier stitching and two more rows of French knots done with the working cotton. To make the crown to match the front cut a piece of-fine val Insertion (design to match the lace edge) the length of the round crown, join to it on each side a piece cut from the hem stitched edge of the handkerchief, then finish the can according to printed di rections on the pattern until you come to the lace trimming, which should be done in the following manner: Cut off sufficient lace to go around the crown, around the turned back piece and the back of the neck, allowing once around and half that, then a little over for the Corners: use the remainder for the face, divide it in half as well as the cap. so as to get it even, and the cap is finished. Make the strings any desired size. Four inches wide and twenty-seven to thirty inches long for each one is pretty. They must be hemmed by hand, of course, and the ends hemstitched to correspond with the hand work on the bonnet. If you use a handkerchief as de scribed, one wil make the turnback piece for two caps and the crown for one. / A dainty crown f/r the extra cap is made as follows: Run by hand three CAP OF UANDKEItCHIEF LINEN. tiny tucks, make one row of French knots, one row of brier stitching and two more rows of knots; repeat this until the piece is the right size (for the crown). Put the crown in the cap with the work going up and down the back, not across, as it looks much bet ter. 0 Use fine thread to sew with. Do not make large knots. In fact, there should be no knots in fine sewing. Use a fine needle. Have your hands immacu lately clean, so the article will com poro favorably with the beautiful French work when finished. Be sure to make the smallest stitches possible when sewing on the lace edge. There are plenty of sewers who will not need this advice, and, on the other hand, there are as many who do need It, and a timely word of caution does no harm. Smiling Through Life. It Is a generally accepted though utterly erroneous article of belief that melancholy people have deeper feel ings than cheerful people and that those who are endowed with a 6ense of humor have of necessity, therefore, been denied a sense of pathos. A woman has only to wear a sad expression of countenance and to talk in a winning voice and people give ber credit for unfathomable deplhs of sentiment and emotion, while her sister, who goes smiling through life and irradiates cheerfulness wherever she may be. Is credited with utter want of heart, for In these days of advertisement people have not the discernment to perceive that the difference between the mel ancholy woman and the cheery one is generally the difference between self ishness and unselfishness. They both have their sorrows?they would not be human if they had not?but the former forces her burdens upon other people, while the latter sets herself to lighten theirs?Ellen Thomeycroft Fowler.

"It may need clean ing when it hasn't even been worn. "A common cause of this is that the oil in the works has dried up and become sticky, causing the watch to go slow, or even to stop. In this case it not only wants cleaning, but also che addition of fresh oil. "The best oil for this purpose Is obtained from the jawbone of the porpoise, and kindred fish. Many watchmakers mix their own oil from'i various kinds. "Clocks also stop for no apparent ' reason. During a thunderstorm, 1 for Instance a clock may stop, only . resuming work when minutes, days, or even weeks have passed, j "Thunderstorms again, have been I responsible for the restarting of old ' j clocks which apparently had retired altogether from active service."?

If the sun were blue there would be only two colors In the world, blue and black; or if it were rei every thing would be red or black. In the latter case, there w>uld be red snow, red lilies, black gass, a black clear sky and red clouds. There would be a little variety however, if the sun were green. Thngs that are now yellow, would still remain that color, but there would be no reds, purples, oranges, or pines, and very few of those cleery hue that make the world bright and phajant. Be sides color the temperature of this earth would be very mich changed. ?Indianapolis News. Black and White and Scotch. Mrs. Blank, wife of a jrominent minister near Boston, had ii her em ploy a recently engaged cotored cook as black as the proverbial ace of spades. One day Mrs. B.ank said to her: "Matilda, I wish that you would have oatmea] quite often for break fast. My husband is vei? fond of it. He is Scotch, and you know that the Scotch eat a great d^al of oat meal." "Oh, he's Scotch, is he?" said Ma tilda.

A Reinvestment. A Missouri man tells of an Irish man named Coughli."., who lived in a shanty standing in a field near the main highway from Kani?.s. City. The foundations of the shanty were lower than the road through which ran a big water main. As the living floor of the place was raised on posts to make it level with the high way, it left a large cellar under neath, where Coughlin kept a doz en hens. One day the watei burst, flooding the cellar and drowning the nens. Whereupon Coughlin took steps to enter a claim for damages against the city. After much delay influential friends succeeding in seciring the Bum of $25 in settlement of Cough Hn's claim. "I've got the money!" shouted the Irishman to a neighbor sitting on the steps of the next shanty. "It's glad I am to hear thot," was the reply. "And how much was it, Coughlin?" "Twinty-foive dollars.." "Anu pnwat are ye goin' to do with the twinty-foive, Cou^hlm?" "I'm going to buy twinty-foive dollars' worth of duck3," said Cough lin.?Harper's Weekly. n A Day Off. ?

You fully realize it. You would not allow your house to remain uninsured overnight. Your house may never burn. Com paratively few buildings ever do.
