What silences we keep year after year With those who are most near to us and dear; We live beside each other day by day, And speak of myriad things, but sel- dom say The full, sweet word that lies with- in our reach, Beneath the common ground ol com- mon speech. Then out of sight and out of reach they go, These dear familiar friends who loved us so; And, sitting in the shadow they have left, Alone with loneliness, and sore be- reft, We think with vain regret of some /| kind word That once we might have said, and/ they have heard. —Russell Lowell. L) . L] A KISS IN THE RAlL One stormy morn 1 chanced to meet A lassie in the town; Her locks were like wheat, Her laughing eyes were brown, 1 watched her as she tripped alun;;‘ Till madness filled my brain, | And then—and then—I know 'twas| the ripened {1 can’t seem to remember which.” (By Ruth Cameron.) It seems to me that there is at least one quality which is daily be- coming less common among us, and that is accuracy. This is the day of big things, of large undertakings, and broad outlooks and general cui- ture, but it is most emphatically not the day of accurate knowledge. It you will take the pains to notice you will find the average person kunows u great many things loosely; but very little exactly, Indeed, it seems to be very difficult for the average person to be exact and defi- nite about anything. I was anxious to hear all about a certain kind of work which was be. ing done by a woman in a neighboi- ing city. 1 was told that a friend ot mine knew this woman well and could tell me all about it. When I went to interview her on the sub- ect, shg corroborated this, Oh, yes, she knew all about it; she had lived next door to the woman for six months, assured me glibly. It scunded hopeful, but when we came down to definite thets, 1 was less de-| lighted, for the following is a fair sample of the accuracy of her infor- mation: “lHow much could Mrs. A, usually make at this work?” *“Well, I'm not ¢ tly sure.

The making of a blotting pad of the . | natare shown in our sketch is a thing which may be undertaken without any vear of failure. A good size in which ry it out is 16 inches b y12 but it can, of course, be made size to suit requirements. the base of the pad a piece of ' hick cardboard is used, and this A o ¢f inc! in: I | o < is bound at the edges with narrow strips of black paper fastened on with liquid glue. The “corners” under which the blotting paper is slipped should next be fixed in their places, and they can be made of leather or strips of kid cut, perhaps, from an old glove, and should be of the shape shown by the diagram A, the dotted lipe indicating where the material should be folded over. Diagram B {llustrates this done, and the corner should then be firmly glued to the cardboard and left to dry, after which sheets of blotting paper cut to fit may be slipped underneath them. The cover is made of dark blue art serge, lined with soft silk of some con- trasting shade and edged with a silk cord, and folds over the pad in the manner shown by diagram C. TRIANGLE IS FASHION MOTIF In Some Form, Almost Everything Useful or Decorative, Is in Three-Sided Shape. It seems to be an all prevailing no tion that all draperies and materiale should be coaxed into something which is three-sided. Have you ob served that everything in dress s dominated by the triangle? One of the most fashlonable forms of the tunic is shaped in this manner, thae apex placed at one side of the figure and the sides draping up to the waist "on the other side. One of the newest models for eve ning bodices means a triangle of mate. rial draping one sido of the front and another triangle draping one side of the back, the two trlangles equaling, of course, a square of the material The favorite rabat {8 just a triangle of lace, and the corne hat is another triangle. Jewels of Today. Jewels grow more beautiful each succeeding season. This year one no- tices stones of varlous colors set 8o as 1o show tartan effects. These are smart and up to date, and are fashion- ed into rings, brooches, bangles, ete., by rims of hrilliants. Other novelties are charming bhan- deanx for hair and necklaces com- bined. These consist of small wreaths i md buckles of diamonds threaded on to narrow velvet ribbon, which ean be used either in the form of a collar or else worn as a jeweled band in the hair. This new fashion is a craze of today and has done much to oust the once popular tiars Idea for Storing. A clever idea for storing away hats, furs, blonses, ete., was evolved by a woman who lived in a tiny apartment. She had a wide shelf erected across one end of her hedroom, about a foot and a half below the celling. Then she bought six or sevey hat boxes and covered them with wall paper in a rose design that harmonized with the rose color of her room. These formed a kind of frieze across one wall, and without detracting from the general appearance made a little storeroom easily accessible. On the outslde of her cupboard door was kept a list showing just what was in box No. 1, box No. 2, etc. Tassels Are Seen. Notwithstanding the craze for but- ‘Y| tons, - which grows rather than de- creases, tassels are still plentiful, and in the case of a taffeta gown, the skirt of which was cut at the hem into a serles of small scallops, each scallop was punctured with a tiny tassel in & color to match. The hem of the short coat which accompanied the costume was ornamented in llke manner, tas- sels also appearing on the turned- back cuffs. To Wash Khaki Suits.
