NAOML | HOW TO MAKE. TATTING. | How to make tatting and the neces- €ary imp.ements, which consist of a| tie (thinner the rochet needle. better) and a! The cotion should always be of good | auality, strong and soft. There are | several available sizes—the most used (especially for learning). | First fill the shuttle with the cot- | ton: hold the shuttle between the | thumb and first and second fingers of | the right hand, leaving about one-half | ard of cotton unwound. Take up the cotion, about three inches from the cnd. between the end and first finger | of the left hand, and let the end fall into the palm of the hand; press the| cotton around the other fingers of the | left hand (keeping them parted a lit- | tle) and bring it again between the | thumb and forefinger. There are only two stitches, the English and the French, and these are usually done alternately in tatting and are termed a double stitch, English Stitch—Let the thread be- | tween the right and left hands fall towards you; slip the shuttle under| the thread betweea the first and sec- ond fingers; draw it out rather quick- Iy, keeping it in a horizontal line in | the left hand. you will find a slipping loop is formed.” On the cotton stretch- | ed tightly out and with the second finger of the.left, elip the loop thus made under the thumb, _ The French Stitch is made by throw- ing the cotton in a loop over the left hand, and the shuttle passed under the | thread between the first and second | fingers upwards. The knot must be invariably formed by the thread which passes around the fingers of the left hand. If the operation is reversed and the knot formed by the cotton connected with the shuttle, the loop will not draw up. This is occasioned by letting the cotton from the shuttle hang loosely in place of drawing it| out and holding it tightly stretched. When any given number of these double stitches are done, and drawn | closely together, the stitches are held | between the first finger and thumb, | and the other fingers are withdrawn from the circle of cotton, which is gradually diminished by drawing out $20 to ETC., ARE HERE WAR TIME ARE READY HERE NOW! uppenheimer ew Fall Suits and Overcoats AND' EFFICIENT MANNER THE MAKERS OF THESE F For Men and Young Mén REFLECT THE SPIRIT OF THE TIMES AND SHOW IN WHAT SKIL AMO CLOTHES HAVE OVERCOME WAR-TIME OBSTACLES. : ~ SIMPLICITY—WITHOUT SACRIFICING SMARTNESS—IS: - TREND FOR FALL.

There is no credit in bearing trials meekly since we can ban half of them and weep over none. We need to know better how to &ing fhan how to com- plain, and to attune our hearts to John Burrougks' hymn of faith: Serene I fold my hands and wait, Nor care for wind, nog tide, nor ses, I rave no more against time and fate, For lo! My own shall come to me! Eliminate fear, for who should be the shuttle. until the loop of tatting is nearly or ewtirely closed. The tatted | loops should be quite close together | unless directions are given to the con- | trary. i To Join Loops—Whenever loops are | joined, a picot is made. When you | come to the corresponding part of the ! second loop, draw the thread which | goes around the finzers of the left| hand through the picot with a crochet | needle. pulling through a loop large | enough to admit the shuttle. Slip this ! through, then draw the thread tight | agaln over the fingers, and continue the work ! Trefoil Tatting—This is done by | drawing three ioops up tightly made close together, and then leaving a| short space befors making more. The tr3foil is sewed into shape afterwards | with a needle. I have taught so many how to make tatting who had given up learning, 1| thought T would write the elementary parts to The Corner, I taught a trained nuree (who is| now in France) and I don’t think she was over ten minutes learning, DAISY. LESSONS OF LIFE Dear Social Corner Sisters: 1f we are wise our school davs never end and all the education we can get in youth is the primary course which is necessary to make keener our spirit- ual sense and understanding. Some people live their whole life in darkness because they never get them- selves in condition to receive the great light which flashes in upon the human could know what each was doing along that line, 1 believe it would be an in- soul revealing the way of peace and | have had together at va afraid who is heir to the joy and the | power of the Son of God? Learn to count your blessings, to cnumerate the good things which have come vour way, and to push all the disturbing incidents out of memory. It is our duty to sense what the sunehine of Joy means to us: that it is life and health and spirit, as is the natural sun to the physical life of earth. He who is our Brother and Friend is the teacher of “Lessons in Living,” and in His category being resigned is as nothing to being resolute for godd and receptive to the joy no one can take away. TIGHE. THE BEAUTIES OF AN AUTO TRIP. Dear Sociai Corner Sisters: Al- though 1 am away from Connecticut, spending a holiday in Massachusetts, I often talk about the good times we all us picnics. These picnics—or social good times —appeal to me so much, the way each Sister does her part as hostess, espe- cially so when there happens to be & “full turnout” of Sisters and guests. It's not what we get. but the way it is given; to quote an old proverh my mother taught me when a little sirl: “It may be only a handshake, It may be only a smile But if it's going to make Surely it's worth the wh fe blessed, ' 1 will give you a little idea of my automobile trip up to Springfield, | run is approximately 70 miles and was |allow 11-2 cups sauce; melt a table- |orate with slices of " very invigorating in the cool of the evening.

Riding along in the wake of the setting sun, with the beautiful maples casting their shadows across your path. Every now and then stately eims rear their heads high above you, demanding admiration from all who love the works of nature. As the sun gradually goes lower and lower over the distant hills, one fells as if she had arrived at Nature's altar to offer tnanks to Him who has given us so much. Here and there patches | of wild flowers which are immensely pleasing to the eve make a break in the sombre colorings of the trees. Ev- ery now and then some small lake or| pond lying like a mirror in the hollows between the hills comes to view, and when we crossed the many little ! brooks it was delightful to hear the music from the rippling, laughing water. 1 All at once, as we turn & bend in | the road, we see a trolley car, and | then ahead a group of houses which | gradually transforms itself into & village or town; as we lessen the dis- tance in a swiftly moving car these communities have interesting sights and sometimes historical events to their credii: but they break the en- chantment that lies in beautiful, wor- shiptul Nature's mighty wor The city’s beauty spot is Forest park, which contains a beautiful rose garden, a zoological collection and | flower gardens, tennis courts, beauti- ful drives and walks® Some distance from the city and on the west side of the river- is the “Coney Island” of this district—River- side park.
