Children s Corner.I -0
Children s Corner. I -0 BY UNCLE JOHN I As promised, we to-day add not only I a portrait, but a picture, « £ our family group, for I am sure you will agree with me tnat it is a work of nrt. Uncle Harold and Uncle Stanley, after the compliments we paid them over the presentation to me of the draw- ing which was put up in the Children's Corner last Saturday, l had a chat be- tween themselves, and, as a result. Uncle Harold drew a nice little sketch of Aunt Mary," who, as you know, sends out to prize-winners daintily-typed let- ters on my behalf congratulating them on their success, and enclosing postal orders offered by me to the best m the competitions. Now let me introduce to you Aunt Mary :— How do you like the dear old soul? I Portraits and sketc hes of other mem- bers of the family will be drawn and shown you from time to time. I am glad to find that my request for more variety in the little pieces sent HI by the children is being so well responded to. As I have already told you, 1 have so many riddles in the basket that it will take me a little time to get through them. but stories, poetry, and anything new you can think of will Lo very welcome. May I give you a little story of the days of Shakespeare? y. Well, just listen. RACING BACKWARDS., I 1. I- I A man who had bought a flne norse, that could go at a good pace, was tor ever praising the animal, and declaring it the finest in the county. It mav look all right, said a friend, but I think it is but a sorry slow- paced creature. Why, I could run a race with you any day, and go as far m an hour on foot as you would go oil your horse, both of us travelling the same way. The owner of the horse was indignant. He protested that it was ridiculous for any man to think he could run as fast as a good horse, but a race was arranged. The other man, who was a merry wag, then went into the road and stood by the side of the rider. At a given signal he started running backwards, and as the horse could not be induced to go back- wards, except at a very slow pace, the pedestrian won the race easily, to the amusement of all who had heard tho I other's foolish boasting. I THE COMPETITION. I Thanks^ for the entries already rP;I I received for The late or early ?orio? contest. Let them come. I WHEN ALL THE WORLD IS OLD. I I For to-day we ,will have one wwe letter only:— o. 2. Davies-row, Fforesfdch.—Dear Uncle John,—I was glad to see the poetry about When all the World is Young, I,ad.? It is.part of the song that  Be-done-by-as-you-did emgs in The Water Babies,? and I know th? rest of it. I think, all your children would like to read it all. She sings the last versa like this:— When all tile world is old, lad. And all the trees Are brown, And all the cport is stale, lad, Creep home and take your place there, The spent and maimed among. God grant you find,ona face tiieie, You loved when all was young. The Water Babies" if a good book. I I love to read about Tom, the Chimney- i sweep, and Mrs. Be-done-by-as-you-clwi. I have read it three times. I hope you will put this verse in the Corner. It will be I my second time. Sidney Williams (age S).
1 CROSSING THE LINE.1
1 CROSSING THE LINE. 1 Inquest on Britonferry I Station Tragedy. At all inquest held at Britonferry on Tuesday before. the Coroner (Mr. Lewis M. Thorny on the dea-h of Jaiiie Morisev, a young Irishman, aged 22, who was knocked down by an express tram and killed on Saturday evening, the evi- denoo showed that deceased and tvro of his friends had booked tickets to travel to Neath by the 5.23 down train which was late. A train was in when they got to the station, and. instead of using the subway, thev crossed the line. Swinney and Shea, the two friends, got across alright, but Morisey, who did not notice an up ex- press coming along at full speed, got knocked down, and, according to the evi- dencoof Dr. J. Campbell, his head was smashed, and his arms and leg? badly fractured. The Coroner, in summing up, said it was evident that deceased was taking a short cut to -atch the trai n instead of using the sulnvay. and, although, the railway officials try their best to stop people crossing thfc line at thin point, they do net always succeed, despite the fact that the subway is'always open. A verdict of accidental death was re- turned. j

For the -Ladies.I
For the Ladies. I Dressmaking at Home. I I A Fur Set. j I i This sketch appears a& the result of several queries made me lately by friends 'I Ol fur renovations, and as some of my readers may be equally desirous of fur- bishing up the peltry at their disposal I ¡ am inserting a sketch of a fur set this ) week which I hope will be helpful. ¡ In the first place, its chief intent, is to give an idea of how to bring last year's set—or that of several years before—up to date. It would not be quite advisable for an amateur to attempt to make up new skins, there are so many things to learn with regard to them and their treatment, whilst fur stitchery is quite different from the ordinary dressmaking kind. PRELIMINARY HINTS. But so far as renovations are concerned, the set sketched ought to be quite a suc- cess, if made at home, especially when combined with velvet for the purpose of eking out the fur in hand, the possibili- ties of which last should be carefully I ascertained before starting on the work. I In this case you must cut your cloth according to your pattern, and if you haven't enough fur for so wide a cape us that sketched just make it a little shorter and loss full. With regard to the muff, if the 1ur is a bit short use what you have for the front only, and make the back oi velvet. HINTS ON CUTTING ETC. If you use velvet for the cape and muff as suggested, be sure you have the mate- rial the right way up before placing the pattern on it. With regard to the fur, when mending the worn places, and any portion which has to be cut. place it fur side downwards on a table or board, and cut through the skin with a sharp knife, not scissors. When patching these places, or tawing edges together, see that the pile of the fur lies the same way, or close it will show very badly. ON MAKING UP. I The cape will need lining with domctte or a thin layer of wadding, as well as a lining of silk or satin. Join your velvet, according.to the pat- tern open and press the seams over a, warm iron held face upwards. Next tack the interlining carefully and very lightly in place, using a fine needle so as not to mark the velvet. Turn in the edges, make and sew on the collar, which should be interlined with velvet, then sew on the fur at the bottom, which should be done from the inside, so as not to catch the thread in the fur; then tack and fell the silk lining in place, make and sew on the left side the button and bobblies, which are covered with fur. Sew a cord to right for securing the former, and finish off. For the muff, join the velvet portion. make the wadded lining, which should be fairly thick, secure in place, then make tho silk lining, which has a frill at the edge, sew to the two ends of the muff, and finish off. A SIMPLE DANCE FROCK. There are sure to be a great many dances of the small and early as well as the other variety,, this coming festive season, so I am sure some of my readers will be glad to see accompanying sketch of a simple dance frock. Tho skirt is of the pannier order which is now popular, and the bodice is of the simplest cut and j ( make. the only triming being a little fringe and beads for the neck edging, and finish for the bniVl and hem, which last they weight a bit, and so improve the hang of the skirt. Taffetas, satin, or any of the other mate- rials now sold for the purpose will realise this little frock admirably at the mini- mum of cost if made at home. TO CUT OUT AND WAKE UP, The skirt can be cut lengthways of the material, as so many are nowadays, which makes for simplicity and speed of making up. The badice is cut kimono-wisc, and should have the centre of front to the fold, whilst i,.Iio belt is cut selvedgeways, though, if preferred, a folded sash could be substituted, and the material, I think, will allow it. In this case bead bobbles,' or fringes, should weight thtends. As to the making, join up the akirt, make and finish off the placquet-open-ing, turn up and hem the lower edge, using beads with each stitch as a finish. Now gather waist-part and secure to a deep hand, made of tho right size; then make the bodice, lining it with net or thin silk; hem and finish off the back and the neck with beads, also sleeves, as in the sketch; arrange to th. uper edge of bftndt make. the beaded belt, secure in place ..tld finish, off-
