MASS of tangled curls about a face
A 1A O’er which play smiles in winsome grace;
Two roses red, and sweet to pat and kiss —
A privilege indeed, o’erfull with bliss.
Two brown eyes clear, and shining bright with fun,
I'wo little feet with pit-pat, tripping run,
Which makes our music all the livelong day—
Coupled with prattling tongue and laughter gay.
Plump arms that cling so closely ’round our neck;
Lips cherry-red that give a playful peck
Upon our cheek, and show the pearls beneath
Which make-believe to bite —dear baby teeth!
Was ever nectar quaffed so rare, divine,
As from that dainty, ruby mouth of thine?
O, household pet —our darling and our joy—
May happiness be yours without alloy. S. B.

GENERAL DIRBCIIONS: —1 he designs are to be transferred to
the flannel by means of transfer paper, which can be purchased
at almost any stationery store. The dots and flowers are worked in
satin stitch, which is simply over and over, from one side to the other,
either diagonally or straight. The stems or vines can be done in
outlining. The scallops are done in button-hole stitch. All should
be padded with stitches of soft darning cotton, before working, and a
cord should be fastened along the edge of scallops. Linen floss (or
silk embroidery
P*—j X. a twist) is used for
\ \ / l/\ embroidering.

Kugs and Polished Floors.
IN ROOMS that have good and evenly
laid floors, carpets made in the form of
rugs are much nicer than ones tacked
tightly down at all sides, such carpets be
ing more hygienic, as they can easily be
taken up and the dust beaten from them.
Very pretty carpet remnants can be pur
chased cheaply and made up in these rugs.
There should be about eighteen inches of
floor left bare as a bordering, and a wider
space will be admired by many.
To get a polished floor the boards must
first be thoroughly cleaned, then filled with
raw cornstarch mixed in boiled linseed oil
and turpentine—equal portions—to the
consistency of pancake-batter, and thinned
with Japan dryer until the thickness of
paint. To give a reddish tinge a little
burnt sienna should be mixed in; for a
brownish, shade use a small portion of
burnt umber; a very little green paint,
added without either sienna or umber, will
give a restful tint of green. Apply with a
paint brush, covering but a few feet at a
time; when it begins to look white, rub
crosswise of the boards with an old cloth,
until all cracks are filled. Let dry till the
next day, then go over it with a light hard
oil finish, using a paint brush. This will
dry in about twenty-four hours; then wash
it with clean cold water, to harden it, and
give a second coat. When this is dry,
wash it again in cold water, using a large
sponge, and dry with soft cloths. It
should not be disturbed for about three
days, when it will be perfectly hard and
dry. Never use soap in washing it, but
simply wipe off 1 , when dusty, with a cloth
wrung out of luke-warm water to which a
few drops of kerosene oil has been added.

CROCHETED CAPS FOR CHIL
DREN.
POLISH CAP.
POLISH cap is very jaunty for lit-
ZTll tie boys, and the pattern can easily
be enlarged or made smaller. For a boy
from four to seven years of age the crown
should be seven or eight inches square,
and the band frthn fifteen to sixteen inches
long, worked loosely, that the latter may
be elastic. Perhaps Germantown wool will
give the best satisfaction. Use an ivory hook.
Chain 4 and close in a ring. Work 8
singles in the ring. Increase by making 3
singles in every second stitch, putting
hook through both back and front loops.
The crown is increased in the same
places each row, by working 3 singles in the
middle one of the 3 widening singles, so as
to keep the square shape. Continue for 20
rows, or until the crown is the size desired.
In the next row do not widen; in the next
5 rows decrease by skipping 1 stitch at
each corner; in the next 8 rows decrease
by skipping 2 stitches at each corner.
Continue to skip 2 stitches while the band
is still too large for the head. After it is
the right size, crochet around and around
6or 8 rows. Finish the center of top
with a large pompon. |
TAM O'SHANTKR CAP. 1
TVI PRETTY Tam O’Shanter cap is '
ZllA made of wool in double crochet. It '
is made in ten V-shaped sections. Begin I
with 3 stitches and widen 2in the center I
of every second row, until there are 30 I
stitches in a row. When the pieces are all i
made, hold the sections together evenly
and fasten with a seam of single crochet.
Single crochet in every second stitch
around the circle, repeating this each row ,
until small enough to fit closely around
the head; then crochet the same number
of stitches in each row until the band is
twice the width required; half of it is to
be turned under and fastened. Finish
with full pompon in center of top.
red ribbon, which should
be stitched on by ma
chine. The lettering
can be done in satin
stitch or simple outlin
ing. The brass ring by
which to hang it is cov
ered in single crochet
with red lustre cotton,
and the bows are of deep
red ribbon. Bright
orange colored ribbon
