sewn together, make purses about a quarter of a 
yard long, very good for holding sewing silks; also 
tiny parasols for penwipers. A jockey cap la a

Purses made of net and filled with sugar plums 
having sugar rings sell well to children. Stamp

MBS. WARREN’S HELPER 
"I Don’t know that I ever should have gotten 
through my Fall sewing so well If it had not been 
for the help I had from poor Mrs. Duane across 
the way,” said Mrs. Warren to her friend. 
“ I did not know that she ever went out sewing. 
I don’t see how she can and keep those four chil¬ 
dren so tidy.” 
“Oh. she did not set a Btltch for me. but she 
helped me greatly, all the same." 
“Did other work for you while you sewed, I 
suppose," 
“ You would never guess the puzzle, so I will tell 
you. It was just looking at her as she sat hy 
that morning-glory-shaded window, stitching 
away at her childrens’ clothes with such a swift 
needle, every minute that she could catch from 
her housework. I knew her resources were very 
small; that she was obliged to piece up and make 
over ana hand down t.o the very limit of possi¬ 
bilities, yet she aid It with such cheerfulness, 
always singing at her work It she was not chat¬ 
ting with her children; It made me ashamed of 
my fretfulness. 
1 was dreading to commence these pretty plaids 
for the girls because I could not quite decide 
upon tbe patterns, and then It would be such a 
trouble this hot weather. 
That thrifty, busy little housekeeper made me 
ashamed; every time I looked at her It was an 
Inspiration. 
1 cut out the dresses and put the sewing ma¬ 
chine at work on them; then If I felt my zeal 
lagging I would make an errand across the street 
to*se.o Mrs. Duane work a few minutes. 
one morning I happened In on a “ stocking day," 
as she called It. She had a collection of old 
stockings of various sorts and stzes, which she was 
cutting down and piecing out with new heels and 
toes until they were about as good as new for the 
Fall campaign. 
1 asked leave to add to her collection and the 
offer was thankfully accepted. I took over an 
apron full, which she asserted would keep the 
hlldren well supplied all Winter I had no idea 
there was so much ‘ goodness ’ In old stockings. 1 
always came home with energies brightened and 
wits sharpened, so that my work seemed very 
easy and pleasant. One day I told her how much 
good 1 was getting from her example of steady 
industry and the little woman just dropped her 
work In her lap and covered her face with her 
hands, laughing and blushing. The idea of hav¬ 
ing an influence was very odd to her. 
But that was Just the help that carried me 
through the Fall sewing, and 1 believe In giving 
< honor to whom honor Is due.’ ” Lois.

MATRIMONIAL ADVICE 
married. The reason so ninny unhappy marriages 
are made, Is Just because young people do not 
stop to take a sober second thought upon the mat¬ 
ter; hut rush on without once considering what 
the poet calls, “ the eternal illness of things." 
Getting married ought not to bo the great object- 
of a girl's existence. I often think, when 1 see 
young folks so anxious to get married, that If they 
could look Into the future and see what trials, 
sorrows and troubles were ahead, they would 
shrink back and not have courage to take vows 
that are to last till death annuls them. 
This getting married Is a serious piece of busi ¬ 
ness, any way It can be fixed. Because a young 
man drives a fast horse, dresses well, and la an 
agreeable escort. It Is no sign that he will make a 
kind, considerate and loving husband. You want 
to study him, try him, teat his temper, and take 
time to do It In. 
Don’t marry in a hurry—you will have time 
enough to repent. It you do. Never marry lor 
beauty or show. Do not marry a man who Is very 
fond of fast horses; they do not make very nice 
husbands. I never see such a man but I think, “ I 
pity the girl who marries you.” It is a great ven¬ 
ture to trust such a man; so girls, look out! 
Again, do not marry a man who has a taste for 
strong ortnk of any kind, as you value your life's 
happiness and comfort, let such a man alone; 
better die than be tied tor life to such a person;

embroidery on net 
Thk best Brussels net should he used for this 
purpose; the embroideries suitable and generally 
used are flowers in silks, worked much in the same 
manner as crewel embroidery; darning In silk, 
and combining some of the embroidery stitches 
with It. Trimming for ball dresses, a coverlet 
worked on stripes, with alternate ones of satin 
between would be salable articles to this work. 
With regard to the small articles about which In¬ 
quiries have been made, 1 would suggest the fol¬ 
lowing : Foot warmers can be made of casbmere, 
either lined with common fur or quilted. They 
are mado of a half circle, and are Just large enough 
lor the feet to be slipped in. The material should 
be powdered with smalt flowers in crewel em¬ 
broidery before making up. Satin cau be applied 
to the frames for visiting cards and almanacs, em¬ 
broidered wltb silk and gold cord, and then placed 
over an oval or square of card-board, slightly
