I am sure you have, or even if it is in your bedroom along- side the proverbial wash bowl and pitcher you wouldn't mind substitut- ing a modern rack iii order to make a very useful and decorative table for your living room. These old racks often were made of the beautiful walnut now mellowed by aife, and when cleaned with a little varnish remover it ia a revelation to find how really fine that wood Is. Now follow me carefully and you soon can have a charming little end table that will grace any living room. Saw off the three rungs nearest the top and that part of the standards which hold them, making your rack twenty-three or twenty-four inches high. Next cut a board twenty-four inches long and about nine and a half wide, and bevel the edges Sandpaper this very smooth and attach it to your standards. If you happen to have any cast-off table leaves of walnut they make a surprisingly beautiful top. Rub a little walnut filler into the top, no matter what wood you use and then wax the entire table. You will find the result most satisfactory. By taking your top boards to a planing mill you can have some of them cut oval and some kidney shape, which will make the tables still more decorative. On the top of one of these tables I sank u chased brass ring about two inches in diameter near each end, and by these it can be picked up and moved alongside father's or grand- father's easy chair when they are smoking or mother's when she is sewing. Towel racks make tha most attrac- tive kind of davenport end tables. You will find after putting them to these various uses you would not be without them. They are not only decorative but extremely useful, nnd you are putting in service something that long has been idle. i astonished to find how responsible she There is so much illness al)out." j i "I'm in my u.'iual, thank you," said^ in.

Tlie kind but unthinking rich can strew their benefits about, careless of their effect on the recipients, but the path of the earnest lover of his fellows ia thorny and difficult, and dark with disap- pointment. To Jean in her innocence it had seemed that money was the one thing necessary to make bright the lives of her poorer neighbors. She pictured herself as a sort of fairy godmother manage to keep them so fresh looking. Ours get .so mangy. May 1 come in for a second and look at them?" Miss Abbot stood aside and said coldly that Jean might come in if she liked, but her flowers were nothing extra. It was. the tidiest of kitchens she entered. Everything shone that could be made to shine. A hearth-rug made by Miss Abbot's mother lay before the fireplace, in which a mere handful of fire was burning. An arm-chair with cheerful red cushions stood beside the fire. It was quite comfortable, but Jean felt a bareness. There were no pots on the fire â€" nothing seemed to be cooking for dinner, She admired the flowers and got in- structions from their owner when to water and when to refrain from watering, and then, seating herself in a chair with an assurance she was far moon-dipped Angers For your delight.

A school girl who needed some extra money decided that she could make it by using the training that sho had had in sewing. Her grandmother had shown her iiow to do fine mend- ing; she could darn so that the stiches were almost invisiblH, "could set. a patch by a thread" and do other work. Sho equipped hcr.st'lf with a large sewing bag furnished with all the mending requisites; then slie called on tho.so of her neighbors who had young children and asked whether she could help to do th'.' family mending. The offer was gladly accepted by many of the mothers.
