A hole in the bottom of one ‘was soldered. It was not a cheap but an expert job. When another lamp had a similar hole in it, the homemaker de- cided to try sealing wax using it as de- scribed above. This old brass lamp was needed for immediate use and fortu- nately the idea of sealing wax mending came to mind. In a few moments the lamp was whole and usable. The seal- ing wax looked far better also than did the solder. Gold wax was chosen and on the brass it showed very little, Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. “This is a continuation of the cur- tain subject we started last week,” said Madam President in opening the meeting of the Nancy Page Club. “We did not get anywhere in a discussion of | the curtaining for bed rooms. Suppose ' you have a young daughter or suppose you want to fix up a guest room. Both rooms call for rather frilly treatment. It is possible to get ready-made organdy curtains in hea colors. They are well made with ruffies pleated or shirred and finished with a narrow binding ln' a contrasting color. By using these plain curtains and adding & window shade or blind of figured chintz you get & most attractive effect. “Use ruffied tie-backs and some of the old-fashioned holders on which to slip lh;‘ tie-backs.” with severe tastes, then you want fairly heavy curtains hanging straight and full from a painted pole. Or you may prefer to use a fitted valance or cornice. The material may be a glazed chintz in a tolle effect, only the figures repre- sent people in American history. A young boy will of curtains like A tolle in the more conventional pat- terns in pink, blue or green may satisfy the romantic daughter of the family. Such & hanging calls for simple maple furniture, since the tolles were usually used for country homes rather than for formal rooms. “At the conclusion of the talk the holtu: served a dessert 'g:t great pleasure out and velling windows, this seemed most appropriate.

ONEn!thethsnnuuznm'omnn knows is that some of the best men in the world are the worst husbands. There are men who are as moral as Joseph, as dry as a prohibition agent and as domestic as the house cat, whose wives spend their time secretly cursing their wedding day, and there are other men, who are poor, weak creatures who are always zi off the straight and narrow path, whose wives never cease to bless Lady Luck for having got them S‘om; husbands. . > s asked a group of women the other day what quAlily it was i & Sme~ band that made him easy to live with. “Being pleasant around the house” sald the first woman, “being nml-b\e' and sweet-tempered.

That is what counts, for it is your husband’s disposition Bave to deal with 365 days a year, and if he is surly morose or irritable and peevish or sour and sarcastic, he makes you utterly miserable, no matter how many abstract virtues he may possess. “It doesn't console a wife for her husband's being a grouch to know that he " is faithful to her. Nor does it comfort the woman whose husband never speaks except to find fault with something to know that he never puts anything into his mouth stronger than ice water. “Neither does i make a wife happy to know that her husband is going to punch the home time elock at the appointed hour every evening if she also knows that at the sound of his key in the lock the atmosphere of the home is going to drop to zero and her own heart begins to register dread and the children hush Imeir prattle and the eat scoots for the cellar. “ Now, husband bas his faults, pleaty of them, but if he bad a millien more T would forgive every one of them because he i so 1o live with.

He is interested in hearing eve that we have done all day. He notices the new way I am doing my hair tells me I get better looking as I grow older and he compliments the cook if there is something particularly good for dinner. When we bring our little troubles to him he can always straighten us out, and he doesn’t knock us for our mistakes—he shows us how to keep from making them again. Believe me, no woman who has a husband who is pleasant around the house ever prices the tickets to Reno.” “It is being chummy that makes & husband easy to live with.” sald the see- ond woman. “What we women marry for is & companion, but mighty few of us one. And that's where men befool us, because when they are cou us they never can enough of our society. We have practically to throw them out of the house at night to get rid of them, but after marriage you eouldn’s anchor them to their own firesides with a steel cable. And the why of this no woman knows. After marriage she carries the same line of attractions and con- versation that she did before marriage. “ 1t just happens that way with most wives, but not with me. My b o ttn me.
