WOMAN’S PAGE. Many Uses for New Filet Medallions BY LYDIA LE Square medallions of filet crochet can be put to many different uses to contribute to the beauty of lingerie, of linens, or household accessorles. They can be made adaptable to fine fabrics by using fine threads, or they can be large and appropriate to in- sert In heavy weaves if course crochet materials are used. Geometric de- slgns have a certain advantage in AN USE OF FILET MEDALLICNS 1S SEEN IN THE SOFA CUSHION TOP. INTERESTING that they have no up and down, right or wrong to them. They identical at every angle of view are ornamental without being torial. The original geometric filet crochet given today can be em-| ployed in many wa It _can be copied from the picture or from the written directions. Two interesting methods of utilizing the work are described. The medallions may be| the same color as the fabric in which | the squares are inserted, or they may be in artistic contrast. Great must be exercised when combining colars, so that the shades go pleas- ingly together and that one tone is| ot too strong to go with the other. | Smart Sofa Cushion. A sofa cushion cover made of alter- nate squares of the filet crochet and linen art canvas, a high grade of bur- 1ap, of monks cloth or some material with heavy woven threads, will be a #mart acquisition of & davenport or couch, in a living room, library or den.

It is wise| BEAUTY CHATS Dark Lashes. The bland girl is always hunting for a way to make her eyelashes and eyebrows darker, and the dark girl for a way to make them Jonger. The blond girl s fortunate; she can—if she uses the method I'm describing today—have quite dark lashe, though the effect will last only throughout the day or evening. Permanent stain- ing or dyeing is out of the question; $t's dangerous when tried on the head, and of course, might prove fatal if the stain or dve were used near the eves But a perfectly harmless cream can be made that is jet black, and that can be rubbed into the eyebrows and Jashes to darkeén them so that ths darkening is not noticeable. To make it, first of all get a small quantity of fine soot, about as much as woull fill a teaspoon. The best way is to hold & candle under a bit of thick glass to smoke it up as though you were golng to observe an eclipse. Scrape off the soot with a knife. Put about a tablespoonful of petroleum Jjelly or cold cream in some shallow tiny pot that will hold the cream. Mix in the 500t with a tiny stick (use one of Your manicure orange wood sticks) and keep mixing until you have a very black cream. Apply the cream by taking a lictle hetween vour thumb and forefinger, and rubbing it well into the ends of the lashes, not thickly enough though for them to look beaded. Rub little in and then off the eyebrows. At bedtime rub cold cream around the eyes to remove the black. This won't run, won't get in the eyes, can't pos- sibly hurt you : Even the dark girl can uss this cream. Though it may not make her lashes darker, it will make them seem BARON WALKER. to buttonhole the edges of the fabric squares before joining them to the filet. Filet Bedspread. Bedspreads of filet and natural col- ored lineg are just the things to dress up beds. The linen may be bought in narrow width. It comes for this very purpose, which simplifies the work. Carpet thread to match the shade of linen is the preferred thread. It fs linen and very strong. As the squares are large the work progresses rapid- ly. The squares are sewed together to form the strips. Sometimes a nar- row strip one and one-half or two inches deep of spaces only is set be- tween squar This by no means detracts from the beauty of the spread, as the plain filet sets off the pattern. The design shown today lends itself admirably to insertion in table linens and mid-meal covers for the dining table. Directions for Square. Make a ch of 69 sts. —1 sp, 1 bk, 8 sp, *1 bk.

This word is Intended for the boy and girl in high school grades. I hope the very youngster who needs it most gets it first. The teachers and your parents are wondering why you do not do your work on time; why you put off until it piles up s0 high that you either refuse it altogether or you skim over the top of it and never samplo its flavor. They wonder why you are late in handing in vour work and why you fail in a subject that is really well within your power. From my chair on the platform where I can see you all at work and at play I see the reason very plainly. It is because you say, “Not just now. Wait a minute. I'll do that by and by, but I don't want to begin right now. I'll do this one that I like first and then I'll do the hard one.” That minute slips away so easily you never see it go,and your job and your growth and vour rating slip away on its back, never to come again. You may use another day, another year, but the one that matched the job slipped through your b fingers. You are out just that much time and growth and credit. That does not pay. There fs just one way to get the best of the situation: Be quick. Get ahead of the thing that fs threaten- ing you. You think it is hard. Let me tell you that it is hard because you think it is hard. Thinking is as powerful a force as doing in matters like this. The fear thought that says “This Is hard: I'll wait a little” is as strong as the thought and the deed, “I will do this lesson right away and stick at it until it is done,” if you allow it to be. You're the master. Get that idea right, please. You are the master here, not the Instruc- tor. The instructor gives you a chart and htads you toward your destina- tion, but he cannot give you the power to arrive. That is yours. He can set the stage for your doing, but he cannot do for you. The will that drives your engine of thought and supplies the power to your working muscles is yours and heeds no other MOTHERS AND THEIR -CHILDREN. No Plain Sewing. One mother says: I want my daughter to sew and to like to do it; therefore, I do not force plain sewing upon her now when she is but a child. I encourage her to do pretty fancy work with bright colored silks and easy patterns. Each month I.find improvement in her wrok and a wis| to take up more intricate pleces. (Copyright, 1925.)

Belleve that and don’t try to blame the teacher or the boy next door or the girl in the next seat. It is your job, your will, your growth. Snatch at ‘it quickly and set your teeth in it and don't let go until the thing is done. When you are faced with the temp- tation to tell what is not so to es- cape an unpleasant five minutes, be quick. Splutter the truth right out and you'll have a lift to your day that no end of joy parties can ever give. For real joy, getting a clean conscience has everything else tled to the post. When the temptation comes to put off a hard task or a tedious one, don’t stop to think. Be quick. Get at it and into it, and before you know it will be done and well done and you will like the doing of it. Be- lieve that, too. I've been there many times. Be quick. And while you are on the job, look up what quick really means. You don’t know. A i I A e ) - ng vogue for unmatched furniture has resulted in many odd and distinctive little eettees and sofas mak- ing their appearance in the shops and stores. Among them is the kidney sofa, so named because its outlines are those of the kidney bean. The pleasant little kidney sofa sketched suggests confidences in the candle-lit hours, and its pecullar shape makes for an unusual degree of com- fort. Also, it is very versatile, for its oval shape allows its use in many places where an ordinary oblong sofa would fear to tread, such as in the curve of the grand piano, across a window cor- ner, or_drawn up obliquely to the fire- place. In the small home or apartment this is a virtue not to be lightly over- looked. (Copyright.) French Omelet. Four eggs, two tablespoonfuls butter, four tablespoonfuls milk, one- half teaspoonful salt, one-eighth tea- spoonful pepper. For this type of omelet the egg should be beaten very little, just enough to break the whites and the yolks. Then add the milk and the salt and pepper. Have read a hot omelet pan In which the butter has been melted. Turn in the egg mixture and whan the cook- ing begins keep the omelet loos- ened from the pan with a limber knife. Continue this until the ome- let is creamy. Then brown over a more intense heat. Turn out on a hot platter.
