A needle-book and cotton-holder of quite a new design is shown in the ac- companying sketch. In constructing it, in the first place, a piece of stout copper wire is bent into the shape shown in the diagram on the right of the fllustration, and on to either end of this wire the reels of cotton are slipped with a large glass bead placed between each of them. Then the end of the wire is bent into a small loop to prevent the reels from slipping downwards and off the wire. A glance e e SORROWS OF FLAT LIFE By ELIZABETH AYERS. { i “Oh my!” gasped the stout woman i as she sank into the seat beside the |- one with the green roses on her hat. |{ “How nice that I caught this car! I ‘ haven't seen you for an age, and I'm just dying to hear all about what |} you've been doing! I'm so upset this morning 1 scarcely know what I'm about—I don’t see how some people on this earth ever expect to get to heaven, treating innocent little chil- dren the way they do! And when she moved in I thought she was the love- llest—why I'm talking of Mrs. Scuddle in the flat above us! One of these little doll-like creatures with baby eyes, you know—but you never can tell, never! My dear, that woman! “The flat had been vacant so long that my Ronald was terribly disturbed when she moved in. Her back porch had been such a lovely place for his trains of cars and carpenter tools and then I was able te keep my own neat. I've got it all fixed up with a hammock and chairs and a rug and plants and it’s too cozy for anything! “When I found she wasn't going to | make an outdoor sitting room of hers I thought it would be all right for Ronald to take his cars up there, es- pecially as she has a boy of her own. But the first thing I knew she had sent them out in the back yard and Ronald is so sensitive to dampness! I've spoken to the janitor about his sprinkling the grass so wet, but he is so stubborn I can't make him stop! Mrs. Scuddle said she couldn’t stand two boys racketing and pounding around. “The first real trouble,” continued the stout woman, “was when Mrs. Scuddle came down and said in that wished I would instruct Ronald not to ! be so rough. She sald he had hit' Herbert on the head several times with the iron engine and she had told Herbert never te fight a smaller boy ! 8o that he couldn’t do anything to pro- tect himself. “‘Mrs. Scuddle,’ said I, ‘my Ronald at the dlagram will explain this, and the beads are placed under the reels in order that they may revolve treely when the cotton is being drawn off, and this would not be the case if they were allowed to touch each other. The needle-book is made quite sep- arately and the cover is of pale pink ! silk, edged with an apple green sllk cord and with the word ‘“‘needles” worked across the center in silk of & color to match the latter. The remaining space is filled up with two white roses and leaves em- broidered in various shades of green, and the cover is lined with soft white siik. 1Inside it 1s fitted with four leaves of flannel cut into points at the edges.

So I told him he must return good for evil and that he could take his wood carving and go up there. In an hour he came home crying as though his heart would break. He said Mrs. Scuddle had told him to go home and he hadn’t been doing a thing!

She boxed his ears and nald’s al- ways 80 tenderly cared for at home! Boxed my child’s ears! She dragged him down and brought him into my kitchen and told me to keep him at home and said that when she went to take in her milk and cream she found him just finishing drinking it, and that he had broken off every nasturtium plant in her flower boxes! Ronald ex- plained that he was playing babes in the woods starving to death, living on herbs and goat's milk. “I said: ‘Mrs. Scuddle, I hope your conscience worf’t torment you too much for your cruelty to an innocent child!’ “And she just sniffed! I shook for an hour after! I certainly wonder why | some people are born into this world! Oh, I get off here!"—Chicago Daily News. Great Man, Indeed.
