The Women's Corner For Anything of Interest to the Homemaker and the Housekeeper Occasionally we meet a girl, prob- a married women, who does not the least thing about sewing rankly admits it, She may say, 't be funny, me make a dress! y I can't even sew a hem straight," $s not an accomplishment and @ honor goes to the girl who can ke a dress which looks like a aris model and not to the girl who openly admits that she can not sew. Sewing is generally considered one of the things that women can do nat- urally and it is rather a novelty to meet a married woman and a mother who can not sew. The trouble is ey were not taught the art of han- diwork when they were young, Gen- erally it is the fault of the mother, for she may never have given the girl a fair chance to learn the first principles of sewing, If the home where the older women members of the family are sewing all the time the children naturally learn to sew. hey see mother or sister with a piece of material on which they are working some pretty design, or which they are making into some wearing apparel, they get the desire to sew and by watching the experienced seamstress they learn the first prin- ciples. 4 owever it is a wise mother who takes the time and patience to teach her girls the proper method to adopt, In the olden days in England the irls were often sent to schools to earn to do the plain sewing properly. Then there were teachers, now the mothers are the teachers, The first thing to impress upon the child is that they should never sew unless they have proper light, To sit in a room which is lighted by a lamp which is placed at the extreme end of the room, is a dangerous thing, for the child's eyesight is vastly more im- rtant than the sewing, Have the Fight falling over the left shoulder, Bring the work to your eyes. So of- ten you see someone sewing bent away over and then they wonder why they have such pains in their neck and shoulders, Bring the work to you and not your eyes to the work, The first sign of an experienced seamstress is whether she uses her scissors every opportunity or whether she uses her teeth, There are man reasons why you should not bite o threads with your teeth, In the first Place it may be injurious to the teeth, econdly it is a simple and excellent way of spreading diseases, Finally it may soil the work, Knots are the experienced sewer's horror for they make the back of fancy work very unsightly. The back of the work should be finished as neatly as possible, A knot should never be used except in basting or where it may be concealed, In fancy work it is wise to finish the flowers or the piece of the design you are working on and not carry the thread over to a design which is distant from the other, In basting the basting threads should be as long as the seam which is to be basted, Tt will be found that a backstitch is more secure and dur- able in basting. Use a short thread in sewing; not fonger than an easy comfortable movement of the arm. All perma- nent stitches should be small and even, Of course it is impossible to have the work quite as clean when you have finished sewing but it may be kept clean if you wash your hands before beginning to sew, If your hands perspire freely dust them light- ly with cornstarch or talcum powder, When you do stop sewing put the needle in a case, fold the work neatly and put it in a sewing basket, Remove the slevedge from cotton goods before hemming as they do not lie smoothly when left in the seam.

It was described as a condition which could mot be cured. But now science has made a second guess. It may not have been radium after all; it may have been mesotho- rium, which although 20 tifnes more radio-active than radium, is soluble, while radium salts are not. And the mesothorium, dissolved in time through the processes which science knows, may be eliminated from the bodies, It is the hope of Dr. Robert E. Humphries, of the O i Hospital at Newark, where whey fave been continuously treated, he can find a means of dissolving the salts and rebuild the wasted tissues. Last June the US.

"Even when they are mentally and emotionally mature, they lack the education that is 80 necessary for parenthood," she said, "I don't believe in birth control; that isn't the purpose of marriage, "Men and women who do not want children should not marry, If they are physically unable to have children they should adopt, not one, but several, for the presence of children in the home makes it a much happier place to lve," Mrs, Wood said, Big vault of Fredericton bank was found to have passed through the re- cent fire in excellent condition with its contents intact and papers and shelving untouched, means & Blue Box money saved-- ARELESS WASHING is harder on clothes than actual wear, experts say. colored alkali, fibres are w They wear out sooner!
