Sitting on a settee with Bruce ‘Wilmington, Barbara fairly clapped her hands as she saw how things were working out. Betty immediately potted the handsome Jim Brady us ithe most fascinating and interesting young man present.

Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co Vv HEN you have thrown your youthful books asige To take up the burden of winning bread For weaker ones than you, And consider that the sacrifice was fully justified; When you find yourself before the doay of op- portunity And see your brother crowding there to take your place And you step back To give him the chance he craves, And then go back To wait for the goddess to knock once more; Should you skimp and save and stake your all On a venture that this same brother begged And find it gone. Should you close your Iips to anger and re- proach And begin again; Should you see the girl you love, In all her youthful beauty, Standing at Hymen's altar, where you had hoped to be, Then you have quietly left without a tear, Knowing that she would happier be, And realize the best of you had died that day; When you have striven to reach @ goal To help the world move along, And have worked and waited many weary hours, Days and even years, but find at last That Father Time had chronicled another and better work ‘That put yours in the shade, And you were not too sorrowful That such had been the case, For the world had gainod; ‘When you have stood on the firing line Of competition And he who stood next to you Used your ammunition; And you have turned the demon uf revenge away And invited grim reconciiiation in its stead; When you have stood back and let the crowd surge forth In its mad struggle to outshine, And have been satisfied with simple things, And looked yourself squarely tn the face, With no regrets, Feven though your coffers are unfilled And you wear no medal on your breast, Neverthless you have been a hero- A real hero!

She can, how- ever, find good substitutes in the staple values of rug weaving and she will find, if she 1s careful in her search, that it does not take so much financing to find u very good one. As for color, it ts much better econ- omy and a good time saver to choose a shade of tan or gray that Is no®too light, If St 1s very delicate in toning, there arises that awful difficulty of keeping it free from spots, but if it verges on the darker shades the dirt has @ way of blending with the shad- ing of the rug in a thoroughly satis- factory manner. That is, each spot does not arise to accuse you whenever you come in tts direction. The darker rugs show the dust abom- inably, though sometimes It is a dark rug that you need and nothing else will do. In that case, you will have to dedicate your life to the use of the sweeper and all will be well. Some of the plain rugs have darker and plain borders. These are very good looking, especially when the rug is a large one, though they are not so good when they break up smaller rugs that are dotted about the room, They had best be kept plain. Ia @ smal room two small rugs of the same color often look even better than one largo one, and this plan holds good when a room 1s extraordi- narily large, for there two large rugs will be, in some cases, more satistac- tory than jone too enormous to be handled and cleaned easily, Do It Yourself Copyright, 1022 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Oo, HOW TO REPLACE A BROKEN WINDOW PANE.

When all of the larger pieces have been taken out cut the old putty away from the wooden frame by us- ing an ordinary pocket knife.

During these times of high prices and scarcity of coal, I use an oll heater to take off the chill in the kitchen in the morning, but I also utilize the heat. Before sitting down to breakfast, I put a kettle of water on top of the ofl heater and by the time the table is cleared, the water {s hot enough to wash tho dishes. I do the same while eating supper if I happen to have the oil heater burning and thus save gas, c. B. SHUFFLING THE DISHES. Being an “apartment dweller’—and ® small apartment at that—closet room in my tiny kitchen ts limited, L managed to have sufficient room for dishes and aluminum ware, but my lovely pyrex dishes, stone crocks and dry groceries must necessarily hang front the ceiling. So 1 had shelves put in my broom closet for them and dis- possessed my broom, mop and vacuum cleaner, Now, what shall 1 do with them? I made them each a nice, dark denim slip cover, and now they can easily be put in the corner of my clothes closet without making dust or looking bad. ¥. M. F, OLD SEWING MACHINE USE.
