Had a Delightful Visit. Friends of Mrs. J. D. O'Hearn are delighted to have her again at home, she having returned a few days agol from Bamberg, S. (., where she has been spending several weeks, the guest of her parents. Mrs. O'Hearn was the honoree at severa] pretty so- ciety functions, and her stay was n:ade most delightful. . . . Mrs. Rodrick in Jacksonville. Mrs. E. N. Rodrick and little daughter arrived in the city yester- day morning from Kentucky, where they have spent the past few weeks, the guests of friends. They will be the guests of the former’s sister, Mrs William Gordon Howard, until Sun- day evening, when they leave for their home in Lakeland.-—Jackson- ville Metropolis. . . . Lakeland Girls Go To Knoxville Training School. Miss Verda Thompson left today for Jacksonville, where she will spend tomorrow with Miss Gracia saunders. She will be joined in| Jacksonville by Miss Mary McRae| and together they will go to Knox- ville, Tenn., where they will attend the Summer Teachers' Training | school. Miss Thompson will tak special course in primary work. while Miss McRae will tuke a course which | will best fit her for her work in the grade to which she has been elected, both young ladies being teachers in the Lakelund school i The School Teacher. A school teacher, according to on who is one, is a person who tea things to people when they a ! young The teacher comes to school at 8130 o'clock, and when she has got-| tenn enough children for a mess in | ker room, she teaches them reading, writing, graphy, grammar, arith- metic, music, drawing, cooking. board-sawing, crocheting, deep- breathing, birdcalls, scientific eating, patriotism, plain and fancy bathing, forestry, civics and other sciences too rumerous to mention. When schoo] is out, she stays be-| hind with five or six of her worst| scholars and tries to save the State a job of reforming them later on After that she hurries home to make herself a new dress and snatch a hasty supper before going back to attend a lecture by an imported spec- ialist on tribal law in Patagonia, which the superintendent thinks may be unsuccessful in her school work some day. School teachers salaries’ range from $20 a month up—but not far enough up to make them dizzy. On her =alary the teacher must dress| nicely, buy herself things for her | work which the city is too poor to get. go to twenty-nine lectures and | concerts a year, buy helpful books on | pedagogy. pay her way ‘o district and State institutes, and enjoy he self during a three-months’ vacati salary takes every year | In addition to this the teacher is supposed to hoard away vast su of money, so that when she becomes | too mervous and cross to teach, at| the age of 50 or thereabouts, she can retire and live happily ever after on her income. | TRIFLING COST. Berlin or Other Kinds of Wool Equally Serviceable—Pleasant and Profit able Occupation to Beguile the Hours of Leisure. Single Berlin wool is used for our model of a crochet coat, but there are many other kinds that would be suit- able. About nine ounces of Berlin wool will be required; a No. 10 bone hook and 6 button molds. Work a chain of 42 inches, or meas- urement from lower edge in front over the shoulder to lower edge of back. Allow rather more than an inch for working up; turn, pass one, draw a loop through each of the next two stitches, draw the wool through all three loops at once, and make a chaln stitch, ¢, draw up a loop through each of the two following stitches, draw through all three loops at once, and make a chain stitch; repeat from ¢ to end of chain, turn; 1 chain, draw up a loop through the back thread of each of the two nearest stitches of the pre vious row, ¢, draw through all three loops at once, and make a chaln stitch; draw a loop through each of the next 2 stitches and repeat from ® to end of row; turn with 1 chain, and re peat this last row, working to and fro until the work is 413 inches wide (ot half the width required for the back); turn and work as usual, but for 20 inches only (or 1 inch from the mid- dle of the row), turn and work back agaln, turn and work forward again, but on reaching the top of the previ ous row, be careful to make the chaln of the last stitch; then work as many chains as there were stitches left un worked In the last row (care should be taken to get the right number of stitches, otherwise the fronts of the coat might be of different lengths) Turn and work the usual pattern the full length of the row, and continue working to and fro as usual until this second half 18 the same width as the first; work the next row for 15 inches only, turn and work back as usual turn; work a row of 12 Inches, turn; pass one pattern and work back then A row of 9 inches, pass one patterr | and return, A row of 6 inches, back same at last; fasten off, Recommence 12 inches from where the 13-inch row ended and work 4 row- ke those just made, Repeat these s rows on the wther side of the coat, pluce the edees tagether and join the sides with sin g'e crochet, commencing abou! inches from the lower edge and leay ing about 6 inches at the top unjoined (for the arms); fasten off Cemmence at the lower edge of the frout and work the usual pattern for 18 inches; turn and work back as be ilure; repeat this row 6 times, and work the same upon the other front finishing each front with a row of single crochet with loops of «chain: left at regular intervals to slip over the buttons.

The vivid colors are gradnall ing to softer tints and shades and browns predominate, antelope gray is much in demand and all browns from cream to deep chestout are favored. °| | | House Gloves So Useful That It Is Simply Folly for One to Be With- | out Them, Useful house gloves of the nature .b_u\vn in our sketch are among those things that may quite easily be made in spare moments from almost any remnants of thick and strong material, for preference soft wash-leather. They | are fingerless, and may be cut out in two pleces, sewn together at the | edges, and then turned inside out be- | fore being worn. At the wrist a small strap of elastic s sewn, and here the | edge of the materfal is bound with narrow braid. | To obtain a pattern by which the, gloves may be cut out, a simple plan ! is to place one hand upon a piece of | paper, with the fingers together and the thumb slightly apart, and then | draw a line, at a distance of about an | inch, entirely round the hand; this will ' give the shape in which the material should be cut out. For cold work, such as cleaninuyg the | brass on a front, door, etc., very warm | gloves can be made by covering the | backs with fur, and any old remnant of fur may be used for this purpose, 80 only pleces will be required. | CHOOSE THE BEST IN VOGUES Not Necessary to Go to Extremes, but Something In All Is Worth | Adopting. { The woman who makes occasion and individuality her study, views without alarm the battle of the modes which is raging now. She knows that the pannler tollet has met with an en- couraging reception and that the di. rectoire vogue is attracting much at. tention. She realizes full well that in every vogue that appears there will be something for her, for we live in an age of adaptation. The panniers of the pannler toilet are absolutely accommodating, for in- stead of being bunched upon the hips the draperies descend to the hem of the gown and are even seen at the back of it turned up and caught be- neath a handsome ornament. If all the characteristics of the directolre models do not suit her, the woman who relles upon her dressmak- er's cleverness will rest assured that some of thew will be found that will enhance her good points. The characteristic collar rounded at the back and made high in the nape | of the neck, the sharp points of the | front revers, the simulated pockets | on the basque, the handsome buttons, and, above all, the lace ruffies at the wrists and the choker may be applic- | able to her requirements. | 'LITTLE DAINTIES FOR BABY Many and Varied Are the Pretty Things Offered for Infantile Delectation. Fascinating dainty afghans for the ! baby's carrfage are of white handker- | chief linen.

When washing silk blouses never | rub s0ap on them or rub the silk be- |tween the hands. Use soapsuds and put in a little methylated spirits Into the last rinsing water, as this glves | 8 gloss to the silk. For tussore silk use bran water in place of soap. | A pound of bran should be well | . |bolled In two quarts of water, strain- | ed, and used for both washing and finsing water. One part of water to three parts of the bran mixture will be found about the right proportion. R. W.
