MY lUHjl'KST
Life's twilight hour is drawing near.
And oh. my work's not done;
It seems the day has been so short
From dawn to setting sun.
I've dreamed the eHily hours away.
And moM the others .too.
And now ns gathering dusk enshrouds,
I will those dreams to you.
You'll find tbem In the shady delts,
I own-by the laughing brnok:
Within the dew-kist rosebud's heart
In a garden it coxy nook:
In deep, dark woods, among the ferns.
Where Hermit Thrushes sing:
Among the tangled joy of life
In the gorgeous thrill of Spring.
The sprouting ced, the tiny plant,
The hope of joys to be;
The opening bud. the full-blown flower
Nature's deep mystery:
Lach burning bee. each singing bird
Will waken dreaina anew;
No greater legacy have 1,
Than that I will to you.

A Cure for Spring Fever
Spring is here! The heart sings,
gladdened by the sight of young
green grass, budding trees, and
warm sunshine pouring over the
earth. Itut the body, chained to
tho typewriter or ribbon counter
or kitchen stove, droops, and the
senses lag. Complain, and some
one says, "Oh, it's only spring
fever."
You have no idea how refresh
ing a cure is the good old-fashioned
advice of a wash-up with
soap and water.
Try washing your face and
hands several times a day, when
ever the feeling of being warm and
sticky, or just tired, comes over
you. It will help a lot. If you are
around where a show er is acces
sible, so much the better. The soap
lat her stimulates, the water re
freshes. The "fever" is gone. And
spring Is here. -

Thia department on Home
Decoration is for the benefit of
all women who have household
problems to solve. Queries per
taining to problems of this kind
may be addressed to Miss fined

I
Query: Is tooled leather an art
which one can do in his own home
and Is It expensive? T. P. C.
Answer. Any one with patience
and u steady hand can tool leather
and it is really vpry fascinating.
The necessary materials are very
inexpensive.
Query. la the weaving of tapes
tries a very old" art ? Mrs. E. T. S.
Answer. A Greek vase dating
back to the fifth century before
Christ shows Penelope before her
tapestry frame conversing with
her son Telemachus. The early
Scandinavians ulso produced tapes
tries. Query. Is it proper to have a
room paneled? Mrs. V. II. T.
Answer. Yes. either with wood,
plaster or wall papers. Kach panel
should bo carefully worked out to
fit the space between windows,
doors, etc., and should have a
beading of some kind around it.
Query. What Is the difference
between velum and velvet? airs.
S. O. "U.
Answer. Velour has a long nap
or piled, tho both are mado of
many different kinds and grades of
maetrials.
Query. Do you recommend put
ting a valence around a bed? Mrs.
O. D.
Answer. Your room and furni
ture may require such a treatment
but personally I do not like a
valence aa it makes tho bed look
fussy and a hard problem for the
home keeper.
Query. How many vas es o f
flowers should be ued in one
room and should the bouquets ull
be similar? Mrs. P. 11. J.
Answer. Too great a variety of
flowers is confusing and. too,. many
vases look like a florist shop or a
funeral. Use simple vases with
only a few loose flowers in each
wherever furniture and space seem
to need them.. Treat your flower
arrangements as touches of color
necessary to complete an Interest
ing picture.
Query. Are decorative tiles be
ing used in modern homes? Mrs.
J. C.
Answer. Yes, whenever the
pocketbook permits, and when
that stops one the gayly colored
linoleums come in. Good tiles arc
being made on the Pacific coast
now and may be used for floors,
fire places, wall panels, etc. Ity
all means Use tile If you can. for
good tile are always in good form
and will always be found In the
best homes everywhere. Hut aelect
good designs and those with rich
but subdued colors.

..Dear Mary Ann:
I have composed this poem,
and if you consider it good
enough I would like to see It
published for Mothers Day:
Mother
Who ever thinks of mother,
As the daytt go by,
And all she's, done to help us
As the moments fly ?
Mother bathes our cuts and
wounds
And wraps them up with
tenderest care:
Alas, whatever would wo do
Without our mother thero?
Let's bo cheerful as wo work
With sunshine in our
hearts;
Let us think of mother, dear
And always do our part.
Marjorie Paling, Houtn 4.
Tips From Garden Note Book
Here is the way I saved my cu
cumbcrH IhsI year. As I did not
have the privilege of using a hose
ton my garden, I took large fruit
cans, commonly called gallon cans,
cut out the bottoms, and planted
i the cans where I intended to have
the hills. Kach can was buried
to within an Inch or two of the
jtop and I filled It with a mixture
'of soil and manure, level with the
! ground. This left a little of the
,can above the ground. The cucum
ber seeds -were planted around the
I outsido of the cans In the usual
way. Whenever there was a lack
of moisture, I poured water Into
ithe cans, and a large amount was
I readily absorbed. I always did
ithis In the evening, and no water
; was permitted to touch the plants.
!The plants certainly flourished
and I had lots of cucumbers un
(the vines from these hills. All the
j hills planted In tho ordinary man
ner dried up with the rest of the
garden In the drouth of tho sum
mer. C. D., Iowa,
j In order to get rid of plantain
weeds that grow on the lawn, I fill
an oil can with kerosene or gaso
ilino and put a few drops In the
center of each plant. This Is eusier
than cutting or pulling and after
one application the weeds begin to
,turn brown without Injuring the
grass. Mrs". C. K. H., Pennsyl
vania. A safety- razor blade Is a most
convenient tool for cutting flowers.
jWe keep one on the window near
the garden where it Is always
handy nd save running Into the
house for a pair of scissors. We
have also found that old-Jashloncd
peppermint in bloom Is beautiful
used as "greenery" In a bouquet.
It not only adds much to tho ap
pearance, but the deliclously allur
ing odor gives much pleasure. Ho
many of our frlendes have admired
it and begged a start of this hum
ble herb. J. K., Idaho.
Take an old tin can and spoon
with you when working in the
I garden, and collect tho various
bugs, slugs, and snails that you
see. Slug eggs look in slzu and
color like small grain of cooked
(tapioca and are mostly found In
! groups or clusters. Mrs. U. K.,
'California.
Iat summer when picking
sweet peas, I arranged them with
j Shirley poppies and perennial
j baby's breath. The shades of sweet
ipeas I used were Wedgwood (blue)

Taffeta Takes Lead
For Evening Dresses
PAIIIS. (Pi Taffeta for evening
is no longer Uic exeluslvc privilege
of debutantes and the very young.
Purls dressmakers are; showing
draped, puffed and trained even
ing dresses of tarfeta for all ages
of women. Mine. Jeanno Lnnvln
even designs a dress of taffeta for
a two year old baby.
Hardly a house of creative dress
making falls to show a wide selec
I tion of taffeta evening dresses for
; mid-summer. The former robe do
style, characterized by long, full
'skirt and tight bodice. Is generally
: replaced by draped nkirts which
lift to dlscluse elaborate petticoats
I of laco or pleating, In Wutteau
style.
If the skirt Is straight und tight,
meant to conserve the silhouette,
tliero Is always a big potrf anJ
hanging ends of silk at tho side,
lur a large bustle In back, often
iwith ends fulling Into a train.
I AnutnVr favorite form of break
ling the too rigid line of a straight
(taffeta skirt Is a circular flounce
'added at the bottom, perhaps
J rounded and lifted at one side to
. give an irregulur hemline. Occa
sionally the flounce la continued
up the center-front, ur side front
of the skirt to the waistline. The
i petticoat of contrasting color Is an
j Important point In these dresse.
The origin of the word "alpha
i bet" in derived from "alpha" and
"beta." the first two lettora of the

TIIIM.'S
Most of us have felt, at some time or other. thut progress
Is made at too great a cost and that In spite of our slncerost
efrorts, the years have found us little, If any, advanced toward
our chosen goals. ...
iJilvi n by necessity, caught In the maito of household cares
and responding almost to tho point of exhaustion to the ever
Increasing demands upon our time and strength, life has not
developed, perhaps, us we had pictured It in the flush of
youthful aspiration.
.And yet, way down In our hearts, we would not change It
If we could. Nature does not scatter responsibilities Indis
criminately. Only to those who are capablo of assuming them
are her heaviest cares entrusted. The weakling, the coward,
thi' shirk. Is left with less and less to do until her lot Is
finally the loneliness of complete Isolation,
The most miserable womnn wo know Is she upon whom
no one depends for guidance and encouragement. Whose leisure
la uninterrupted by any useful task and whose passing would
be little noticed by those among whom she lives.
To be needed, to be necessary, to be of service to someone
these are tho things that count. And after nil. .what Is tho
aplause of a multitude or Iho possession of all tha luxuries
that money can buy when compared to the slmplo stutomoni of
a little child, ".Mother, I love you"?
