not believe that a singer should essay

tain in the End to Destroy Friend-
ship and Love.
Jealousy spoils pleasures and de-
stroys friendships, therefore it is most
necessary to overcome a Jealous tem-
perament. One frequently hears how
to overcome sensitiveness, but how to
fight against jealousy is seldom told
us.
It can manifest itself in numerous
ugly ways and it is not an easy thing
to fight. Who has not felt Its painful
prodding? But one must remember
that neither friendship nor love can
ttand Jealousy's eternal friction, so the
sooner one eliminates it from one's
character the more certain one is of
keeping both love and friendship.
Take what is yours and do not wor-
ry over what Is given some one else.
If there is to be any comfort in social
life or In the life of those who must
work, every twinge of jealousy must
be crushed out. The personal element
must be done away with at all times
and we must all learn to make our-
selves as efficient as possible in our
various walks In life. To live for and
think of others is always a help; and
added to this we must forget ourselves
except In our efforts to improve our
minds aud our lives.

Beautiful Table Cover May Be Evolved
From Scraps That Otherwise
Would Be Thrown Away.
A lovely. If somewhat costly, table
cover recently seen In one of the shops
suggested one of the numerous ingeni-
ous ways now in vogue of employing
satisfactorily any scrap of lace or
needlework one happens to have in
the house.
This table cover or tea cloth, about
sixty Inches square. In ecru linen, was
cut out round the edges Into four
blunt corners, llvided by four van-
dykes. Between each peak was in-
serted, point upward, a three-cornered
specimen of filet lace, while larger
ones, peak downward, were sewn along
the base of the blunt corners.
A lace insertion framed the center,
filled at the* corners with a motif of
broderle anglaise. crossed with bars
and connected with powderings of the
open work. Each of tbe four sides of
the frame* was lipped with a diamond
medallion in filet lace, and round the
outside edges of tne linen square was
a white linen fringe with spaced tas- |
sels.
Spanish Lace Revived.
With the return to favor of the
many old-time materials, such as
brocbe velvets and golden woven tis-
sues. there Is the return to favor of
Spanish lace. Many afternoon and
