TRUE ECONOMY IN DRESS
Even Though the Purse Be Slender 1t
Pays to Buy Good Dress
Materials.

} 1t is an acknowledged fact that among
the people of moderate circumstances
there is TOO much neglect in regard to
personal appearance. 1t is a mistake to
think that economy in dress means
shabbiness, says the Prairie Farmer
Home Magazine. All should strive to
dress neatly. and one need not be SO far
behind the fashion as to attract the at
tention of others and perhaps aus I'M
kind remarks to be made. The most
economical people are those who make
the best of adverse circumstances. Good
taste in dress does not necessarily
mean expensive clothes: but the dress
should always harmonic with the age
and circumstances of the Wearer.
Even though the purse is a slender
one, it pays TO buy goods Of a reason
ably good quality. And By buying goods
alike on both sides a smaller quantity
is required. Or buy something which
can be turned when desired TO make
over. Some dress materials are SO en-
tirely different on the right and wrong
sides, both in color and weave. that
when turned they would never be recog-
nized as being the same dress. Sum
mer dresses which are faded, but are
otherwise still good, can be boiled in
quite soapy water with a small amount
Of kerosene added, rinsed and bleached
If necessary, and it will become perfect
ly white.
Then by adding lace or embroidery
and making a few other changes the
dress will pass for a new white one
Dresses, cloaks and jackets can be
ripped apart, washed and colored with
some of the reliable dyes and to all ap-
pearance and otherwise be good as
new, and by taking a paper or magazine
containing fashions you will readily be-
come acquainted with the new and pre-
vailing styles, and by buying a pattern

self is quite an item of economy.
The making, when hired, usually costs
as much as the material of ordinary
| dresses. And last, but not least, is TIM
practice of taking care of ones clothes
People who r not rich cannot affort
to be careless, for clothes that are not
taken care of will not last near as long
as those that are. The time spent il
keeping garments in order and thus
preventing shabbiness confers comfort
able self-respect upon the wearer This
faculty should be cultivated by all, ant
especially by those in moderate circum.

ONE WAY TO GET A SEAT
Man of Gall Gives a 'True Gentleman
a Distinct Thrill of Deep
Disgust.

He entered a crowded tra1n-car thu

Good Spring Medicine.

A distinguished physician upon being
asked what was the best spring medicine
replied that it YVES breathing. People
have been exceptionally deprived Of air
during the past winter and as soon as
the coid air becomes sufficiently tenn
pered not to injure the lungs those or
gans should be built up again by daily
breathing exercises. Breathing is a
sovereign remedy for our national dis
ease OF depletion. Correct
breathing brings into play all the in
ternal organs and at the same time de-
velops the heart, liver and kidneys.

THE JAPANESE WOMEN AND
THE WAR

So great is the enthusiasm OF the
Japanese in the war. says The Deiin-
Gator for August. that the women or
lowliest, are giving not only their
wealth and incomes. but OF their per-
sonal efforts 10 make easier the lot or
the soldiers in the field. Every one is
fired with the ambition to have Il part
in the success OF Japanese arms. and
as a result. many associations have
sprung into existence with the purpose
OF providing for the soldiers and their
families. One of the greatest of these
is the Ladies' Nursing Association. a
self-supporting auxiliary TO the Red
Cross Society. 1t numbers among its
membership the best society Of the
Empire. and these women are TO be
found daily at work in the banddge
room or hospitals. The Ladies' Pa
triOtic League has for its aim espe'
cally the care OF the soldiers and their
families. 1t has a membership OF 20.
900. and includes women from all
ranks. The Ladies' Educational So
ciety. also a mammoth organization,
has exten led its aims TO cover the
needs of the war a"d does incalcu-
liable good. In all the girls schools
the pupils are helping in some way,
knitting socks for the sailors or max
ing caps or other articles for the sol
diers. The humblest are doing some.
thing Ii is said that the servant girls
are dispensing with the services of the
hairdresse., a great deprivation to
them. and others of the poor are do.
ing without fish with their rice every
other day. Millions Of these people
are miser.bly poor out they find a
way to give or to DO something for the
common cause.

WAS SHE CoMPLIMENTED,

: A certain literary woman. feeling
herself under an obligation 10 a very
eminent authoress, and wishing TO
show her appreciation. bought a box
of candy. meaning 70 present it to the
novelist at the earliest opportunity. On
the same shopping excursion she
bought herself a box of tooth powder
the two purchases making packages
of similar size and appearance. Then
she sought out her benefdctress.
Have you sweet tOoth?" she In
quired. and presented one OF the neat
ly wrapped purchases. The Offering
was accepted gracefully. and the don
or departed. much gratifed at the ac-
complishment of her act OF recogni-
ton. When she got home she un-
wrapped her remaining package TO try
