I will remember that my husband and children would pleasant, happy wife- rather have a and mother, {1 will not be influenced in the | smallest degree by the amount of cleaning which my neighbor does. | {know what my house needs and what {1 am capable of doing, and no feats tor hers shall spur me to do one whit | more. | I will not criticize my neighbor's house cleaning. She knows what is 'best for her. This season I will try to do away with every piece of furniture and ev- ery ornament which is not yielding due return in utility or beauty for the care which 1 have to give it. When | am looking over our clothes and putting things away for the summer | will remember that 1 have no right to keep anything on the vague chance that I might possi- bly need it in the distant future, when there are so many who undoubt- edly need it right now. I will try to make my charity bundle larger than ever before, and I will see that ir contains less junk and more char- lity. I will not go beyond the limit of strength in finishing this or any oth- er task at any special time. No mat- ter how temptingly near the comple- tion of any task I may be, I will stop when I know I ought to. It is better to give up finishing that last shelf in the dining-room closet than to finish it and myselfy too. ! 1 will make some radica] changes !in the arrangement of my furniture. There is nothing in the world so {healthful as change. Even little ;rhanz»s like this help get us out of [the rut and refresh us. I'd like to |80 to Europe this spring. I can't. | |can rearrange the living-room furni- ture, so I will. First, last and always, 1 will try to remember that my family and I do not exist for our house, but that our house is for us; and holding firmly to srepective, I will try to go about this year more v, sensibly and tranquilly than I lever have before. than the most immaculate hous in;} "{the world; theretore, 1 will try not| to do any more house cleaning than | 1 can do and keep well and pleasan:. | LIGHT, DAINTY TRIFLES CHILDREN'S BONNETS MADE UP OF LACE, BRAIDS AND RIBBON. This Season’s Models Show Some of the Prettiest Designs That Milll- ners Have Favored Us With for Many Years. One of the choicest shapes in bon- nets made for little girls is pictured here. Children's bonnets generally are made of light and lacy braids, narrow agd allover laces and trimmed with soft plain messaline ribbons and tiny blossoms, Occasionally a pretty mod- el shows narrow velvet ribbon used. Every one of these hats bears the stamp of a designer who knows how to express childishness in the ensem- ble of the design. They are emphatic- ally childish and correspondingly at- tractive. They are soft and comfort- able and fit the small heads for which they are designed pertectly. Nearly all models for children are lined with sheer silks, like China silk or liberty silk. Chiffon is employed for facings and sometimes as & foun- dation under lace. As a rule the little hats are with- out tles and in many cases set so closely to the head that they hardly need fastening. A short bridle of vel vet or silk ribbon in & narrow width is provided on some models, to insure keeping the hat from falling oft in case of its being displaced. A flat elastic still remains the most effective means of fastening little girls’ hats, One of the prettiest and coolest of silk bonnets is shown here, made of messaline in' white and having ties of messaline ribbon. The bonnet is bullt on a wire frame and faced with a scant shirring of the silk. Rows of aarrow shirred tucks cover the brim, and the crown is a big puft of silk. This model is trimmed with a crushed band and rosettes of messaline rib- bon but little bouquets of flowers in the form of rosettes, or nosegays are often used and captivate their little wearers and everybody else, for that matter. There is a great varlety of shapes this season to select from, when one must choose for a child those shown here with a few more decidedly poke- {bonnet effects, are representative | styles.

FIT CENTERPIECE OF VELVET| Excellent Manner in Which Effects of Age, Discolorations, May Be Covered Up. A girl who has in her room a table' or ¢ of drawers whose top is so much =carred or discolored that she Wishes to cover it up will find that a | centerpiece which does not come quite | to the edge of the table will produce a much hetter effect than one that nangs , over tlie sides. This is, of course, only true wien the lower part of the table is good in shape, These table centerpieces or pads are | made of velvet, satin or corded linen. | The color effect is the principal thing to be considered, and the most attrac- | tive of these covers are of dull rich | color such as are to be found in old | velvets and brocades. When the cov- ers are made of these rich materials they are trimmed with bands of tar- nished gold braid. They may be made of two or more materials, and, indeed are handsomer and more effec- tive when there is more than one fab- ric employed in their composition. | They are round or oval, square or ob- long, according to the shape of the table or chest of drawers for which they are intended. small pieces of the same brocade or velvet to trim these table centers. The middle of the cover may be made of one plece, and then the smaller pleces cut into uniform oblongs or squares may be set around the edge and out- lined with gold braid, a strip of the braid between the pieces and a band around the middle plece where the small ones are joined. The gold braid will not always it smoothly and the edges can perfectly well be gathered fn when necessary to make the braid lle fiat. When the covers are made of linen they are trimmed with bands of chintz of cretonne with linen braid. ADAPTED FOR WRITING DESK Blotter Will Prove of Exceptional Value If One Has Much' Corre- spondence While Traveling. A blotter which 1is precisely the thing for a small-sized desk or for the man or woman traveler who carries about personal correspondence conve- niences, consists of a half-circle-shap~ ed lidded box which is five inches long and two and a half inches wide at its top and describes a perfect half curve at its bottom. Such a blotter {8 readily made of two sides of card- board, joined by a third two and a half Inch wide straight strip of the dimensions of the curve and its top consists of an oblong-shaped ribbon- hanged lid which lifts by means of & small ribbon loop and discloses a tray of cardboard with slightly curved ends and straight sides which must be forced evenly into position and is intended to hold pens, penclls, post- age, etc. Before joining the sides and lids of this little receptacle, they should be covered with some attrac- tive-looking cretonne or any smooth- backed figured fabric which can be glued on and when joined, the raw edges should be concealed beneath a narrow gimp of metallic thread.
