OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATEI, A Good Book. When you want to your heart something don’t know -nn to get a good book f many of them, IO mn'y harder to select one from great plle. The pictures are -nd the type is so clur, and so0 good, one wishes to e-rry them off by _the bagful, Just_any book won't do. Tt is & ter- gt & beautiful acketed book through the mail, Epa R*With fingers that tremble with ness, and find that it is & dreary, rab thing that won't bear & second look. I think that is about the worst blow | u an expactant soul can suffer, Take a good look at the child lnd try to guess what kind of a book he would like. It must have plmm I stand by that. A book isn't a book for a child unless it has pictures that say something. Not & mess of wiggly, wormy lines, but & straightforward pic- ture full of life and beautifully colored. If only one picture can be in color we will accept that, but we like more. Tis the book to the child's hobby if you can, If he is a marked character such as he who likes butterfiies, of boats, or Indlans, or historical charac- ters, or pirates, or adventure in the Jungles, ;"our Job is easy. If she is de- cided in her tastes and likes love stories, Cases for Your Linen l SUSAN had lived all of her life, up to last Spring, in a big, rambling house. There was a huge attic. Every room had & big closet or & lot of little cupboards. Under the stairways there were long, slope-ceilinged cupboards, and beside the upstairs fireplaces there were cupboards of every shape and size. ‘Which meant that Susan always had lots of places to put things. Her mother had had two or three linen closets-—one for sheets and pillow cases, one for towels and bath mats, one for teble cloths and napkins. * And still an- other for card party supplies, tea nap- kins and small cloths. Then Susan got married and went to live in a two-room-and-kitchenette apartment. “The closet space is quite wonder- ful,” said the agent, proudly.. “You see in a two-mom upunmem there are three good-sized Yes, there were 1‘he one in the bed- one in the little entrance everything else. “But where,” demanded Euun of her | mother later, “can I» keep table linen and the blankets and lM towels and the sheets? There isn't even a sideboard, of course, in apartment.” Susan’s mother wasn’t much help, for all she could fall back on for.experi ence were her 20-odd cupboards and closets. But & friend of Susan's came to the rescue. “You've only one -closet, that's that. Only one for all those things. Now this is the way to manage. Have plenty of shelves. If they're not there, have them made. Then just have hold ers and markers for e lnd pile them, neatly and met those shelves. Just never let ‘hm l’fl mixed up and confused. vou're sunk.

Two rounds for each side, each covered with the linen and overhanded together about the edge. Then the two sides are fastened together with ribbon or stitching at one place. Before the linen is mounted on the rounds of cardboard it is embroidered with a colorful design—perhaps a bas- ket of flowers in the center with a wreath of leaves around the edge. Some women like embroidered cases to _hold handkerchiefs and different sorts of underwear, If you are crowded these cases sre indeed a great con- venlwce for in them you can keep your eatly piled in closet shelves 3ustuwennlnhmamdnwem JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English.
