THE PERFECT DAY. @ always kept everything perfect- ly clean, From the cellar clear up to the op; ¥or neatness and order she surely was keen And uo one could get her to stop. Her husband could never find com- fort at home For fear he would muss up the place Where his wife, with a broom pud a, duster would raam With a stern sort of look on her face. She never had time to be reading a book, She never had time for a call, Instead she Was scrubbing some corner or nook Or sweeping the stairs in the hall. She swept all hey beauty and ee. ness away, She gwept -all the Pd out of life Until she became "an automaton gray, A cleaning machine--not a wife. She scrubbed ail the love from the heart of her spouse Her children were playless and glum, She had her reward--an immaculate house. ) Where nobody sver would come, She swept and she dusted std scrub- bed like a slave 'M1 she swept herself iato the tomb, And the monument now at the head of her grave Isa duster, a brush and a broom! -=BERTON BRALEY. A GRATEFUL LETTER From a Lady Made Well by Dr. < Williams' Phak Pills. "I wish from my heart I could per- suade every petson who is fun down in health to give Dr. Willlams' Pink Pilla a trial." Thus writés Mrs. Loule Mitchell, Oak Point, Man., who fur- ther says: --"About a year ago I was & weak woman, suffering from a run down system and impoverished blood. Any little exertion would cause my leg to tremble and my heart to throb violently. I éould nét sweep a room or walk fifty feet without being ex- hausted. Then I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and after taking only six bokes I am as well and strong 4s ever. I can walk, and run too, without stopping every few sec- onds gasping for breath as previously. Dr. Willlams® Pink Pills will bé my stand-by in the future if ever my blood needs building up again, and I shall always find pl gre in récom- mebding them to anyond- needing a tonle." There are many troubjes due to weak, watery blood which can easily be overcome by a fair use of Dr. Wil- Hams' Pink Pills. The sole mission of this medicing is to enrich and purify the blood and w! that is done all the varied sym ms of anaemia dis- appear, and good health returns. You can got these pills through any deal- er in medicine or by mail at 50 cents & box by writing The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co:, Brockville, Ont. | coMING EVENTS |, : - im? | TOMORROW'S MENU" 1 Breakfast Diced -Oranges and Bananas Cereal Codfish- Balls Pop-Overs .

The unfringed lamp shade is be- coming more and more popular. I refer merely to table lamf not to floor lamps, For the fringed floor lamp shade is'still in favor. I have been making a study of |. this new vogue for the unfringed shade. 1 believe that my readers will like £0 have me describe some of the shade-edgings which Interior Decorators are using in place of fringe. In each of the following cases the wire ghade frame was cov- ered with georgette of scme soft color, shirred on, and the edging either matched or harmonized with the georgette, oi 4 1. A length of old-fashioned pi- cot-edged, watered-silk .ribbon, an inch wide, had been used at the bot- tom of the shade. It was sewed to the shirred georgette covering but extended one-half inch below it. It was put on plain, not gathered. 2. A fancy tapestry ribbon, two inches wide, had been used very much as the picot-edged ribbon de- scribed above, except that In this casé the ribbon hing down fully an inch below the fringe and its lower edge was wired to hold it tant, This ribbon edging was also straight not gathered. 3. Heavy, inch-wide gold inser- tion with rather large holes, was sewed onto black velvet ribbon of the same width and them dropped below the shade, making a straight band completely around it. Its own weight held if taut without wiring. 4. A bedroom lamp shade had a ruffle of georgette, hanging below the shirred georgette frame-covering and matching the shirred part. The lower edge of this three-inch-wide ruffle had been finished with a picot. Ite gathering thread at the top was covered with narrow gold graid. 5. An iInch-wide "strip of silk which matched the shirred georgette covering had been pinked at the lower edge and then gathered onto the frame edge. This hung below the shade perhaps an inch. Its gath- ering thread was covered with a gold cord. 6. Gold braide of all sorts, both wide and narrow, were used on var- fous shades, not dropping below the shirred frame-covering but merely providing a neat finish at the shade- bottom. 7. Silk-covered cotton cordipg also edged many shades, sometimes in three rows, sometimes in two, and here and there in only one. 8. But the prettiest shade edging I saw was one of sheer gold inser- \ tion (like shadow lace) two inches deep, which hung below the shade and was wired at the bottom to hold it taut. Four two-inch-wide pieces of wire were run aeross it, at equal intervals, for added firmness. y Tomorrow--Chafing Dish Recipes.
