CARE FOR THE EYES
FREQUENT INJURY BY CARELESS
WAYS OF READING.
Simple Ways by Which Mother May
Help Teacher in Task Of Caring
for School Boys and Girls.

Written for The Ell ening Star.
Nowadays school authorities all over the
country are taking up the matter of proper
lighting in school rooms, and the subject Is
studied by oculists, architects and edu-
Gators AS a result the new school build
ings are equipped almost ideally in the
point of windows. Desks are arranged at
the correct heights, shades are adjusted
carefully, rules for the care of eyes are en-
forced. 1t is at home that the young eyes
are in greatest danger.
Very few mothers know that the care of
eyes mean. Very few realize how treach-
erous an affection of the eyes is. 1t often
creeps stealthily for number of years be-
fore it makes itself known.
If the grown-ups who look after the little
people at home will heed few simple rules
these same little people are as old as their
parents.
Whether the childs studying and reading
are done by daylight or artificial light see
to it that the light falls over the shoulder.
Never let the student face it. If he is
writing, be sure that the light comes from
over the left shoulder; otherwise the
shadow Of his hand will fall upon the page.
The idea is that the light should fall di-
rectly and clearly upon the page and be
shaded from the eyes. AT night drop
should be used and its shade so turned
that it keeps the glare out of the eyes.
Watch closely for any tendency to near
sightedness. If you see the student holding
the book closer than normal investigate the
matter Tell him to hold it farther from his
face and find out If he cannot read just as
well. Many time 1t is merely a habit that
makes him hold the book so close, but it is
habit that brings about myopia. If he real
ly cannot see well with 1t at normal dis
lance then 1t is time for professional ex-
animation.

head rigid. When the head is free to move
you will find that it does move, ever so lit
tie, and so assists the eyes to follow the
lines. But when it is still the eye muscles
have to do all the moving for themselves,
and they become very tired and pains and
aches and errors in vision arise.
See to 1t that the eyes have frequent rests
The school system attends to this and
mothers should supplement the teacher s
work Don't permit a child to read for a
whole evening without a number of rests
If the eyes are tired teach him to stop every
twenty minutes and close them for five.

HINTS FROM JAMAICA.
What American Housekeepers May
Learn

Written for The Evening Star.
American housekeepers will find it much.
easier to keep their rooms clean and bright
and free from dust if they follow the trOpi-
cal plan of polishing floors with beeswax
rubbed on with a cocoaput husk instead of
covering them up with carpets. 1t goes
without saying that it is easier to sweep
a polished floor than carpet, and the
former is much healthier, because it does
not collect the dust and dirt like carpet.
. Perhaps an absolutely bare floor. however
beautifully polished, does not look well to
eyes unaccustomed to it; therefore 1T would
be advisable for the American housekeeper
20 place small rug in front of the couch
and another in front of the fireplace to
break the monotony of the glistening sur
face. On the mirrorlike floor they would
have a striking and beautiful effect, far
SURPRISING that of even the best carpets in
the market.
This receipt for saving dust and labor
is only one of many useful hints which the
American woman may pick UP from the
housekeeper in the tropics.
A. Jamaican woman who was travelling
out west some time ago heard complaints
about the swarms of ants which infested
every house and got into all the food.
There is very simple remedy" she told
her western friends Rub chalk on the
legs of the cupboard. The ants cannot
crawl up over the chalk
The housekeeper is always on the lookout
a mixture of lemon juice and ashes is used,
and better polish cannot be secured.
Lime juice lemon juice is the West
Indian housekeepers best friend Should
any of the house linen or wearing apparel
become widowed in rainy weather little
lemon juice and a little common salt will
soon make the spots disappear. This re-
cipe appears to be unknown in this country
and mildew is too often regarded as a thing
impossible to remove. Even the professional
laundries nearly always send home clothes
without removing the mldew spots from
them. Many a shirt waist other article
of apparel is thrown away solely for this
reason while it is still perfectly fit to wear
If the American housekeeper will try this
West Indian recipe she will get rid of an
enemy hitherto regarded as unconquerable
SO far as is known, nothing else will remove
mildew.
West Indians have several good recipes
for keeping mosquitoes out of the house
Although they live in a mosquito haunted
region, they much less bothered by
these pests than people are in the SUBJ
tropical parts of the United States. A ia
vorite recipe is to pluck a number of castor
oil leaves and twigs and place them about
the house. bunch Is placed over the
dining room table and another bunch over
each of the beds. Mosquitoes love the leaf
of the castor plant, and they collect upon 1t
and leave the family alone.

A Partisan Hat

A smart chapeau recently arrived from
Paris Is built of champagne felt, its fiat
crown draped with ciel velvet and floppy
brim raised at the left side upon cham
pagne-colored wings tipped with blue. The
delicate blending of these two shades is
most persuasive and promises to have a
large word to say in the seasons millinery.
Another pretty hat of canotier genre in
gray felt is simply draped with a fancy en-
broidered ribbon galloon, the same fash
ioning large fat cocarde that reposes a
little to the front of the crown. CocardeS,
rosettes and ruches are being largely en-
ployed in the millinery world today. Some
times the ruches are large, fluffy arrange
ments of silk cut on the cross with frayed-
out edges and, again, stiff narrow ribbon
is killed into the required decoration.
Feather pompons are also in much request.

create a slim effect. 1t is put over both
drawers and chemise or short skirt, the
knitted silk vest protecting the body, and
the thinnest null corset body, ending above
the waist, covering the. corset. Again, the
petticoat is sometimes buttoned on at the
bottom of the corset which is held even
more taut by the garter bands. which run
from the fronts to the stocking tops.

All" Dame Fashion will say, your
chest is delicate! Then go, my dear, and
nurse your maladies al the chimney corner,
for the fashionable battle, like every other,
is for the strong.
Bulk is Regulated.
However the longest lane has a turning
somewhere. So the woman who must pro-
tect her health while /eschcwing clumsiness
finds that woven underwear of fine wool and
silk is less conducive to bulk than the lace
and ribbon trimmed sorts. Some of this
may even be charming, as a scrutiny of
some stylish examples will prove, delicate
colors and silk wash braids taking off the
curse of the knitted look
Some of these silk and wool garments
come in sets of two pieces, combination
of shirt and drawers and corset cover and
short skirt combined. These sink into the
figure as do all knitted garments, and as
they are of an understandable fineness the
soft wash silks, which sometimes frill the
skirts, add nothing to bulk.
SO much for those women who really
kneel at the shrine of fashion. The rest
who are only half devotees-confessing only
occasionally, as it were-find in outing night
gowns and legitimate flannels a solace for
the Indulgence which puts them outside the
pale of ultra fashionable things. And when
they come upon really sweet nainsook night
gowns for 81. %, and dainty little chemises
for 50 cents and stunningly effective long
cloth petticoats for 9S cents-these with
wide Hamburg embroidery on the outer
flounce, which is of quite fine lawn-they
feel that heaven has indeed tempered the
wind to the shorn lamb and buy these
things on the spot.
Delightful details, which may be included
III the list of lingerie, are the knitted kimona
sacques of woods in delicate colors that
smart women are wearing over their thin
night dresses while walking about their
rooms. Border frills of soft silk in match
ing hues edge these; and for those who pos
sess the accomplishment of knitting books
on this art give accurate descriptions of
these charming and new garments. If
bought ready made they are woefully dear

child-sewing the studied simplicity which
everywhere counts in the fashion world
must everywhere be paid for. So that
undergarment which is soft to the touch
and unobtrusive to the eye may cost three
times the sum of its more flamboyant Sis
ter.
Colored ribbons and cotton laces are law
ishly employed on the cheapest of the do
mestic made models, but even among these
there is sometimes garment which little
manipulation can Wrest from the ranks or
the philistine. For one thing, always sub
stitute white ribbons for colored ones, and
select materials which will wash soft, even
if they seem at first coarse and harsh.
American lawn, in which a number of the
new undergarments are made, is an ad-
mirable material for laundering, becoming
as soft as null If starch is left out, as 1t
should be. Some pretty chemises in this
material are longer and fuller than the
French slips, and simply ruched about the
neck and armholes with imitation Valen-
ciennes.
In Novelty Laces.
Numbers of novel laces are extensively
used sometimes a little handwork COM
bining with machine work, but the best
things always showing a studied restraint
The extreme width of the very short
drawers worn seems at times an absurd
exaggeration. until it is discovered that
such kinds. are admirable substitutes for
the short skirt. In fact, these wide draw
ers with their several f1ounces and ribbon
drawstrings compose, with a long chemise,
sometimes the only underfurnishing for a
silk lined house toilet.
For figures inclining only to moderate
buxomness the doing away of all super
fiuous bulk about the hips is necessity for

So. comparing these elegant undergar-

wonder is how beauty could feel itself in
sensible in those days. For the fragile
stuffs now used, the delicate sutchery, cob

any elegante convince her audience II she

Beginning with materials alone, fine cot
tons linens and mulls a e in every case
considered superior to silken textures. The
silk street petticoat, which is perhaps the
most important of all woman's under-rig-
gIng, with closely fitting upper portions and
bottoms volum.nous with cunningly shaped
flounceS, still exists. So does the one used
for neglige purposes, the dressing sacque
worn with it being as delicately hued and
as extravagantly trimmed with lace and
ribbon.
All other jupons are of the sort that can
be purified by the washtub. American and
French and Indian lawns. pure white US
ually and of a captivating fineness COM
bine with fragile French laces and lawn
embroideries for these. In form, as a
giddy maid puts it, the petticoats are best
described with three Fs-frilly, foolish and
fascinating.
Fine Tuckings.
Hand-tucked to the knees. that they may
be as close about the hips as possible, below
this point these skirts swell out into ffounc-
ing bottoms as elaborate In many cases,
as the skirt displayed by the nimble-footed
stage dancer. Wash ribbons strung through
ornamental headings, with bows and ro-
settles at intervals contribute to further
splendor; and in order that the stand-out
quality of the bottom may be insured one
petticoat model is supplied with a deep I'M
der ruffie of silk. This buttons on under
the lace fiOunces, holding them out for
gowns in limp materials, and possessing
the added virtue of being really a dust
catcher. When the skirt is to be cleaned
the silk ruffie, which is of course white
is taken off and put through a naphtha
bath.
Next in Importance to the petticoat is
the chemise which. in the most fashion
able instances, is much shorter than
formerly. The very short French slip
model is the one most approved. the alb
sence of sleeves and the fat back and
front rendering this especially comfortable
as a corset cover, to which use this gar
ment is often put.
A stylish chemise in the market is an
