Work. I am aware that many of my Housekeeper Readers make fancy work articles to sell through wo- man's exchanges in order to earn "pin money." So, for their sake, I make a practise of going around to the various fancy work stores, when- ever I make a flying t » to a city which abounds in such shops, for the purpose of gleaming the "latest wrinkle" in fancy work ideas. Here ere some new wrinkles which I ran across this week: The New Pin Trays: This idea came from Paris. The tray Mself is of glass, measuring about three in- ches across the top. Its shape is very low with curved sides, similar to the saucer of a small after-dinner coffee cup. (Any kind of glass tray could riage to take place at the home ot |b used.) The entire under side of the tray is covered with gold ne, which lies tightly drawn across the bottom and is gathered around the rim of the tray so that it will cling to the sides. Of course the gold net shows through the glass when one looks down on' the tray. Directly in the middle of the tray, on the bottom (lying between the gold net and the under side of the tray) is a tiny doi- ley of white Hnen with a butterfly or a flower embroidered on it; this de- coration, showing through the glass, gives a very dainty effect. The New Vases: These were simp- iy the tall, slender white and tinted glass vases (such as one can buy at a five-and-ten-cent store) flaring at the top, but they were decorated by being covered with old-rose or old blue silk brocade at the bottom, ex- tending half way up the height of the vase. Gold braid was run around the vase where the brocade stopped '(that is, at the extreme bottom and half way up). In this way a case may be made to harmonize with a bed- room color scheme--for, of course, cretonne, or any material or color, may be used in place of the pink or blue brocade silk. Glass Basket Pir Cushions: Once more the popular tinted glassware was used for a bedroom article. The inside of the basket was stuffed with cotton (wool is better) and this stuffing covered 'with old-rose silk brocade; gold braid was run around the edges of the basket to cover the raw edges of the liucade. The under sido of the glase basket was covered with' the brocade under gold net, and fintshed at the extreme bottom with goll braid. The glass handle of the basket was concealed with gold braid. Then pins with colored glass tous wore stuck Into the padded part in some pretiy design as a finishing touch. Tomorrow -- Dishes in Week's Meaus.

With the early spring days the garden comes in for a good deal of attention. Gloves and sunbonnets are donned and with rake ami hoe in hand the beds are carefully cul- tivated and seeds sown which later in. the season are expected to yield choice vegetables and flowers. What a pleasure it is during these bright, sunshiny spring mornings to plant and prepare for the coming summer, when the birds sing in the 'trees about us, and all nature appears to be glad that the winter has ans appeared. . bi CINE Would it not be well to pay little attention to the garden of the heart? Out of it are the 'fssues of lite and so much can de done to make a decided Improvement in ourselves and our surroundings. Some seem to think that cheerful- ness, brightness and a happy, con- tented mind are Mirgely matters of temperament, and those persons possessing such qualities are fre quently envied: by their less fortan ate friends. It's a mistake to sup- pose that these are always native to This day's planetary configura tions presage important and sudden chynges and benefits, which may he considered of @ radical nature, com- ing as they may, Hke a bolt from the blue under the sextile of Sol to Ur anus, the swift, sudden and unson- ventional. Advancement and pro~ motion may be looked for, with the abrupt presentation cf mew projects and opportunities. In domestic and other affairs of a social or romantic nature, there may be disturbance. Be circumspect od cautious in all re- 'lations. Those whose birthday it is may uWlcok for a year of unusual and unex- pected advantage and " opportunity. 'These may involve radical change of osition or residence. In the domain of the heart and home, however, there may be n for wise discre- tion and fortitude. | What he Edo Hears | That Reginald Gibbs, the little boy who wom the first prize in the British Whig guessing contest, is re- ceiving congratulations not only for the $15 which he won, but for the ability which is his.
