In every little pussy willow is held the
spirit of some beloved kitten now an

NF of the most useful lJl of fancy
n work which can he made at com
paratively little cost of time or
money is a jewel sachet to hold ones1
trinkets when travelling or making short j I
visit when n jewel box would be too
cumbersome Such a sachet may he made
of any piece of ribbon silk satin or velvet
that ono may happen to PO SOKS and of
course handsome brocades wide strips of
embroidery on silk satin or velvet are not
barred from nue for this case The ma
terial should be about throequarters of
a yard long and six inches wide For the
lining there should he a piece of chamois
t
of tho same rie
Place the silt and chamois together
and cut off pieces of each one piece of
each two inches deep nnd two pieces of
each three Inches deep These arc to be
used as flaps to cover tho trinkets I
Sew the silk and chamois piece that Is I
left together at the bottom on one side I
and at time top after rounding this top
edge to make a pretry finish If yon want
to do your sewing on tbemachine you can I
do No by sewing the materials together
on the wrong Bide and then turning the
strip inside out AfUr this i done turn
the bottom of the strip the end which is
straight across up to a point six inches
from tho bottom Sow the side edges to
KCtbcr so UH to form a packet The
chamois side should of course he the
inner ono Then stitch n straight Hue
directly down the middle of the pocket
dividing It into two parts Sew the two
Inch flap which you nit oft acrom the
strip so that It falls over this pocket
Above thin pocket a small pin cushion
for stickpins Is to be made The side
cdgo is Ptlll open between the chamois
and the silk and through this cotton ooll
a thin layer Is stuffed Into n space about
four Inches deep Ikfore stufllng in the
L wool However It is necessary to run n
line of stitching across the strip of mate
rial to make a place for tin cushion In I
fact two lines of stitching Should form
the boundaries of the cushion The first
line of stitching placed about half nu inch
aborc the pocket flap will llold the
muhion in place when the sachet In
folded
Thn other line Is placed four inches
boo the first After the pudding ban
1 been placed In this space the pile edge
is sewed up and tho flaps which went
cut from the strip are sowed lo the
sides These flap arc rounded on the
outer edge They arc meant to fold over
tho cntfhlon before the sachet IB rolled up
Half an Inch above the pin cushion an
JStrn piece of chamois the Hume width
y as the strip and four or five inches deep
is sowed to the inside of the strip to form
another pocket The bottom nnd two
sides ire sewn fast but the top N left
pen Buttonhole may be worked in this
nr er edge and burton nlIrerl nn the
blows but for it to dance to the sun shines
just lo bring brightness and gladness to ii
the birds slug only to give it joy and till
the while little fairies live close by play
ing about it by night hidden fast asleep
in its shadows and dreaming exquisite
dreams by day1
And then too it may well bo true that
the graceful cot tails are those tails which
Vllah marred In making and throw away
own to old earth for In creating the kit
ton he felt that every part must be n bit
if perfection nnd whatever showed the
tiniest fault he cast aide and we are in
consequence blessed with the mi tails Iud
darling pussy willows
H seems at range and very very sail
that there are beings on this planet who
do not love a playful kitten And even
shudder when a cut walks sedately and
unconcernedly by Forlumito indeed arc
nil who Inherently love the cut for no ani
mal returns affection more sincerely If
not demonstratively nor cnn he n better
comforter in hours when one wants to be
loved
OT only IB r fcat A loving and lova

which is of

real use literally pays lit yawn board or
earns its salt
The catless home Is invariably so over
run wjth mice and rate as to be anything
but a pleasant dwelling hnt the house
whet hero is even a tiny kitten has none
of this nuisance and every member of
the household Is sure to he happier be

is no nearer sctlleniPiit than the day the
argument started nor will it ever be de
cided It is no more nossible to compare
the two point for point than to state
which is more necessary inthe world the
horse or time automobile both fill such
absolutely different spheres and both are
necessary in their own time and place For

lIJ APRIL GRANDMOTHER l1J
I f i VXl a girl whoso conscience will
1i1 not permit her to pass a beg
gar without bestowing alms t ns
haughtily from a public weighing ma
chine which implores for only a penny
remarked the April Grandmother as she I
peered through her lorgnett at tho fig
ures indicated by the weight mechanism
That 11 < 11 lit era proves that you are ten
I
hounds too heavy for your height and
she added accusingly I think that you
must lmv realized that fact because you
were M reluctant to step upon tho scales
Yet accurately to know the weight Is the
only safeguard against obesity which Is
one of the tsiriR on your grandfathers Hide
of the family It is the easiest thing in
the world to acquire n few extra lounds
but n vexation to the spirit to rid ones
self of them and that U why n young girl
who is inclined to curves rather Uinn to

Grandmother in reply to r doleful remark
of her plump young descendant Semi
starvation is one of tilt get thiu quick i
methods which hurry young girls into dys
popsianor Is there an easier way of rob
bing the face of its youthful bounty
That penalty is not worth the price of a
hiples figure although I huve nothing to
say against n straight up and down shape
provided It cnn bo acquired by hygienic
mesas
A girl whoso figure Is generously
curved should go in for mountain climb

Heavy shoulders and fat urnis are in
uiy opinion far more objectionable than
are largo hips continued the April
Grandmother and for thut sort of bulk
the best reducing exercises are archery
and fencing Both these sports not only
help to make lie figure slender and the
movements graceful but they seem to
brighten the expression of tIe fnce Practically
