They are making a charming tucked
waist of washable fabrics. Lawn or
linen can be used. The tucks extend
across the figure, front and back. with
narrow embroidery stitch covering
the seams of the waist. The yoke is an

small straps of gold braid, embroidery

Rolling the Umbrella.-Has 1t ever
occurred to you to wonder why YOU
can't fold a new umbrella to make it
look as nice and slim as when it left
the shop? 1t is just because you roll it
wrong. This is the proper way. First
grasp the ends of the frame in YOUR
right hand. and hold them tightly
against the handle. Still holding, roll
from the opposite end with the other
hand. If you notice you will see that
nine out of ten people simply hold the
handle with the right hand instead of
grasping the frame. An umbrella that
has once been badly rolled never looks
so nice again. because the. frame is
slightly twisted. So make a note of this
when buying d new one.
How Blind Children PIay.-Many
young people who have good eyesieht
of their own will be interested to learn
how little folks who have no sight at
all can get On. A writer in Little Folks
gives very interesting account of
their dOings: AT the place called
Swiss Cottage, in the northern part of
London there is a large and splendid
building called the Blind school. Macy
of the blind boys and girls of London
are sent to this school to be taught
to read and write, and to learn some
kind of work so that when they grow
up they may be able to earn their own
livings. A visit to this blind school is
a very interesting and wonderful ex.
perience. When the author of this ar
tiCle went with his friend the pho
tOgrapher they were shown into a large
playground A number of girls were
playing together, and at first it was
impossible to believe that they were
blind. Most of them were rOmping
about just like ordinary children with
eyesight. They never ran into one an
other nor stumbld against corners, so
that they seemed to see exactly where
they were going. Several of them were
playing with skipping ropes, laughing
and shouting with great enjoyment.
Two girls would wind the rope. slowly
and steadily. until another girl would
run in and began to skip, while the rope
turned faster and faster, and at last
the skipper was out of breath. And vet
these girls were blind! How did they
manage to run toward the rope just at
the right time, and not get entanSIed,
or jump at the wrong moment? That
is a puzzle for little folks who can see
when they skip

fashion of interlacing ribbon waists.
Then the bodice was cut out. 1t must

DANISH JEwELRY.

Quaint jewelry from Denmark and
Norway of the sort that forms a part
of the Scandinavian dress has lately
become fashionable in London. Tour
lists have long delighted in making col
lections of this unique metal work, but
it is now for sale in England. 1t is
made of silver, either plain or gilt and
Oxydized, and the effect of the differ
emily cOlored metal wrought in fantas-
tic designs is perfectly charming.

A LACE SEASON.

1t was truthfuIly written by one of
the great dressmakers of Paris that
this would be a lace season. In COM
municating with an American patron
he said: Decide upon lace, for moth
ing except lace will be worm" And his
prediction has come true, for lace is
the one fabric of the hour, and of the
season.
The surplice of India lawn, caught
at the left side with a gold ornament,
has sailor collar crossed in front and
fastened upon the same gold button
that holds the fold of the surplice waist.
The sailor collar has a deep pointed
edge and is as broad in the front as
in the back
These collars are cut a little low in
the neck and are without finish, pre-
cisely like the regulation sailor collar.
But of course they are made of more
delicate materials, generally lace over
taffeta, or of the most elegant white
lawn embroidered in exquisite silks.

Also that mignonette, cunningly

WANTS TO BE PLUMP.
There Is No Beauty in Angu1arity
and It Is Better to be a Little Too
Fat Than Too Thin.

Much has been written for the bene-
fit of the stout women who wish to be-
come thin, but little time has been ex-
pended in giving advice to angular
women who are anxious to become
plump. If a woman is all angles, and
is fiat where she should have graceful
curves, she can achieve much in the
way of cure if she will have patience
and follow out the directions given her.
Some people seem born with an inherit
ance of angularity, and they are apt
to sigh and lament over the plumpness
of their more favored contemporaries.
Of course. this is but natural, when
every one knows howHmuch more at
tractive pretty figure is than 10 have
none at all. Ones frocks are SO much
more becoming when there is more in
side to fill them out, and natural round
ed curves are, of course, far more eff
fective than those to be achieved by
artificial means.

simple fold of tulle over taffeta with a
big bow of red tulle in front-the ends

THE FIGURE.

If woman wishes to possess a good
figure, she must submit to a perfect
regime of diet and exercise to obtain
this -be-desired result. If she has
only a poorly developed figure. the cure
of course, will not take so long to effect
as if she had no figure at all. But in
both cases she must pay the most care
full attention to every detail laid down
for her use. And, after all, time spent
in trying to render oneself less unat-
tractive is surely not time wasted.
To begin with, she must begin the
cure the first thing when she wakes up
in the morning. She must give up her
beloved early tea and take a cup of
new warm milk from the COW, if OBJ
tainable. If, however, she is a dweller
in towns where such luXuries are not
to be had, the milk must be well sweet
ened and one-t third Of it cream Her
bath must be of teDid water, and a
soap which will lather well. The chest,
while still damp, should be rubbed
gently in a circular manner, and for
this purpose a rough washing glove,
well soaDed, should be used. When
the skin is dry, the neck and chest
should be gently and firmly rubbed in
the same manner, with fattening To-
ton. The gentle friction should con-
tinue till all the fat is absorbed and the
skin is dry and soft.
A very good lotion is obtained by

Yellow-brown gauze is now said to
be the best protective against freckles
or sunburn of all wells, and should be
adopted by those whose skins are par
ticularly susceptible.
