It seems| to be a kind of tradition in other sce- tions—and more we opine of a tra- dition than a reality——that June is the favorite month for weddinge and, consequently, that there are in that! month more brides than at any other time of the year, says th» Tampa Times. June is not the marryinz month in Florida. We don't know just why unless it resolves itself into a ques- tion of temperature. Relerences e the marriage records at the court house will show that there are prob- ably fewer marriage licenses issucd in June, taking the years as they run, than in any other month in the year The favorite month for weddings in Florida is December, and the fa- vorite part of that month the few days just preceding or following Christmas day. It is true that this is the case only with certain classes of our population; but they marry very numerously then, and they help make up the total. Filling for Summer Cushions. Any woman can make herself number of inexpensive cushions for the summer bungalow or the porch of the little house in the country porch by cutting a roll of cotton battinu into small quarters and heating it in a baking pun in the oven for hal an hour. Each little square of cot- ten will fluft up twice its natural | size, and will be as light as a feath-| er; but you must take care not to| have the oven too hot or it will scorch | Use half a roll of cotton for pillow, filling « muslin slip eightecn | with a} | Cover this slip of some tlowered chintzes and cretonne or a gayly stamped cov- | er that can be bought for the purpose | inches square daint and your summer cushions will he a joy for the entire season. . Helpful Sewing Hints. In order to keep the correct width in drawn work it is best to always Garaw the threads by measurcment, rather than by counting them, as the threads in even the best linen are sometimes of uneven thickness ‘ . ® One of the most useful things tu' keep in the sewing basket is a small pair of tweezers to pull out stubborn threads left in the basting, especially those that the sewing machine stitch- ing has gone over. A labor saver when basting straight seams is to use the little wire paper clips to hold the material together, instead of sewing the seam the full length. They will hold it perfectly even and will not fall out, as in the danger with pins. A :zatisfactory way to prevent hand buttoned-holed scallops from fraving is carefully to cut away the riaterial from the edze of the nished scallop and overcast, bringing the| up in the purled edze,| very smal] stitches, | . * . oa | Citles Fighting Toll of Noise. | Bclence 18 planning a nolseless | world, in which tke ciamor of the pres- | ent day will be reduced to a minimum. | Prof. Blake, of the Harvard Medical school, declares that nervous prostra- tion, brain exhaustion and deafness are the price that cities pay for noise. | sometimes; so does the tennis racquet, Entertaining a Party. I am graduating the end of this month and mother has promised me that 1 may have eight boys and eight zirls to a party. Some of the boys, dowever, are not in the graduating class. We are all between 13 and 15 years of age, Could you tell me some way to entertain them for an evening? { would like something with a color scheme. Our colors are cadet blue ind gold, MARION. 4 lovely hand is so great a charm— and so possible for most people—that almost all women reckon it as an avail- able asset. Because they think they can make their bands exquisite at a moment's notice they are sometimes careless and neglectful, and then they find the minute s not enough. If the hands are not to be brown, or, worse still, freckled, gloves must be endured when out of doors—for the first few weeks, at least. To be bear- able, gloves should be loose—a size larger than those worn in the winter. It you cannot play golf or row except with bare hands, then take other pre- cautions. But for tramps across the flelds or along the high roads, for mo- tor and bicycle trips and for riding, be firm with yourself and keep hands and arms covered. For sports or av- ocations that insist upon manual free- dom use other precautionary methods. Rub the hands well with cream and then with powder., This will save them from tan and freckles, Many find that if they can cheat Sol out of his victory for a time he can be To use the color scheme I think you | will have to gild a dainty basket and fill it with larkspur, which is as near cadet blue as you can come to in a flower, and have this for the table centerpiece; then for place cards get blue satin ribbon and letter the name in go For games I would advise your looking over the stock in the big stores for suggestions; and I have i watched young people of your age have loads of fun with charades and il sorts of old-fashioned games.

A READER. Perfectly correct in every way ex- cept the prefix, “Miss” should have been used and for an Intimate friend you could have accepted less formally, while the various weapons demanded by the golfer make the palms very hard and firm in spots. The ofl will do much here, and should be used after the hands have been washed in hot water. Some skins can stand a rubbing of calloused spots with a plece of pumice stone, but others find this process rather thickening to the skin, It 1s almost impossible to sleep in gloves on hot nights.
