Accessories for the Card Table The card player has an easy time in these days to find interesting accessories for the card table.

You can make these yourself or you can buy them. One interesting sort is weighed down at the four corners with a heavy weight from which dangles a big &ilt tassel. . This does away with the necessity of tying the corners with tapes. An interesting table cover that any woman could make has foundation of black sateen, binding of blue braid, and cretonne cutouts of red, blue and old gold fastened on with black embrofdery cotton in a oneâ€"twoâ€" three atitch.

Most housewives, in buying & broom, examine the business end, but how many take a grip of the C i okdiin6t ce ied Eoi n enioeneoa eenee t o end, but how many take a grip of the: tandle? If you have small hands you | need a small handle. Otherwise you cannot get a good grip. Thus your tands get "corned" on the inside and spread. The latter comes from having | to take hold of a larger surface than the hands can really manage: The hand literally spreads out to get a grip.. If you have a big hand a small handie cramps you, as you may know, and pulls: the hand out of shape. So let the broomâ€" stick or handle be chosen with care so that It fits you. A tooâ€"big handle can be spokeâ€"shaved down or filed with a wood file. And why not, if you have a plece of old velvet, pad quite a plece \ where your hand grips? It may be asked â€" And what about Rooseet n t HE delights of housekeeping in France are dependent chiefly on I cook. Given a skilled operator in the kitchen, the difficulties are paratively light. It is the cook who deals direct with the tradeat: the butcher, the baker, the milkman.

She knows justâ€"the fish to buy and in dealing with the butcher she Insists on} getting her pound of flesh. She is wise enough to disobey het‘ mistreas‘s orders when it Is to the advantage of the mistress that the fare shall be changed. Why get a gigot when the butcher says he cannot recommend it? She knows how to choose a melon, insists on pickâ€" ing out her tomatoes, has a way of her own with the poultry woman and is not to be denled by the butter merchant. In a word, if the cook knows how to buy and is comparatively honest the houseâ€" keepitg bills are lower than when she is honest, but ignorant of the science and art of the market place.
