REMODELED DELED WINDOWS.
In many of the very old country
houses are to be found architectural
features that are the 'despair of their
modern occupants. Windows between

CUTTING. "CRAWLY" GOODS.
In working_ with organdies, crepes
and other Fiwiry" or "crawly" ma-
terials, I find it is better to pin the
material to paper before I cut into it.
I used to have a hard time getting
organdie collars to He straight until
I tried this plan.
• Get big pieces of wrapping, paper,
or pin newspapers together in'a strip.
Lay your material on so that the
selvages are parallel with the straight
edges of the paper and so, that the
ends of the cloth are square. If the
material does not have a visible grain
or thread you may have to draw
threads' to get the ends even. It saves
thne in the long run.
Pin the goods to the paper at ciao
intervals, not only along the edges,
but, if the pieces to be cut out are
small, all over: the strfaoe,' I iso!

'Cussion `en how actresses keep so
amazingly young,
"Well,"said Miss Terry with a
twinkle in her eye,. "I think the rea-

God w ote His loveliest poem on the
day
He made the 'fret tall sliver poplar

And set it high upon a pale -gold hill,
For all the now enchanted earth to see.

And set each leaf a -flutter and a•thrill,,
