BE Interested In Them. bCt Never De-.
scend to Curiosity.
If you would have friends be inter.
ested in them.
There is q difference between interest
and curiosity. Never be curious.
Interest asks nothing. but is glad Of
others joys and sorry for others mis-
fortunes. Curiosity seeks to find more
than is written upon the surface, seeks
it for the purpose OF distribution, for
innocent SANDER.
Ones friends like one to lie interested.
They detest one who is curious.

needs but to wish them we'll.
To see the best of those about MS will
cause us to wish them we'll.
To our wellwishers we pour ont our
joys and sorrows. They are Interested.
They understand.
The interested friend always under
stands. The curious acquaintance nev-
er sees through motives. The curious
one is blinded by his own Interpretation
OF causes and lis prejudiced view Of
results.
Don't. therefore, seek to know what
is hidden. If your friend concea!s
something from you he has Il reason
for doing it. Prove your interest and
your lack of vulgar curiosity by trust
ing him in spite of the cone"alclent.

some years ago how to make salve
from Witch Hazel that is specific for
piles. For blind, bleeding, itching and
protruding piles, eczema, cuts, burns,
bruises and all skin diseases, De-

FANCY MUFFS OF LACE
AND CRUSHED VELVET

Exceedingly pretty nuns can be made
at home. Either in plain or in crushed
velvet handsome combinations can be
produced. Two that are very good in
deed are not at all difficult to make II
directions are followed carefully.
One OF these is crushed velvet. with
ruffies Of lace and a bunch Of artificial
violets. The length OF the strip OF vel
vet needed is determined by the size OF
the muff that is required Take this and
bring the two ends together with the
wrong side OF the velvet out To this
tack a strip or cotton batting or the same
length and width Next fit the lining
which will need 10 be a strip OF satin
about half as large again as the mun
strip. Before Joining the ends OF this 10
stitch take a tuck on either edge and
stitch II on both sides of the strip. Let
this be about an inch and a half from
the edge Of the satin. Now stitch the
ends together.
To line the muff have both velvet and
lining turned right side out Place an
end of velvet and an end OF the silk to-
gether just as two fastened linen cuffs
might be put end to end Sew these
two, turning I'm a half or that part OF
the stitched tucks run elastics by which

free end Of the lining through the mun
and slip-stitCh Il to the other end Of
the velvet. turning IN the edge as be-

added. and the violets sewed on a most
stylish mun will be the result.

EFFECTIVE CREATIONS
FOR THE DEBUTANTE

The problem OF the debutante's recepr
ton gown is always rather a difficult
one to solve, for while the chief point
is to have it as becoming as possible it
is generally necessary that the gown
be OF use during the winter.
Chiffon Is one OF the softest and most
widely becoming materials procurable,
but this has the disadvantage OF. great
observation-disclosures, for it Is well known
that for long wearing quality chiffon is
out Of the question. However, when
numberless afternoon and theater
gowns can be had by all means let
there be a chiffon gown among the num-
Der.
Brussels net is another exceedingly
attractive texture. and this is not near
ly so perishabIe as the chiffon Net
needs a large amount OF lace trimming
TO do away with the possible monotony
OF the mesh; but then any gown today
must be most deliberately finished and
ornamented with one, two, or more
varieties of lace.
For real serviceableness crepe de
chine is unequaIed, and the satin-hnish-
ed crepe is as soft and pretty as almost
any of the more expensive and un-
dOubtedly newer materials. The wear
that can be had from a simple crepe de
chine dress is remarkable, for there is
no other material which will clean so
we'll or which for "a second year can be
dyed so satisfactorily
Liberty satin IS a material at once
youthful and effective. and in white
the texture is particularly pretty Lib
erty silk is more on the order OF a
chiffon. and while extremely pretty Is
q poor investment when economy may
be consulted. Satin is In itself rather
too old for the first reception dress but
there are many varieties OF soft silks
and satlns which are equally effective
and Tar more suitlble TO the purpose.
Peau de sole, which I'm white may be
worn when the colOred silk would be
too cid, is excellent, and there are
numberless white silks, all pretty and
all effective.
