A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.
How Deft-Fingered Women May Earn
Money

rom the Housekeeper
The doing up of fine underlnen ia far
more important in these days than ironing
a shirt, and a good living awaits the woman
who cares to learn this art and practice It
in the cities. When these articles are
washed and dried the ruffies and trimming
should be dipped into weak starch and
rolled down tightly, keeping all starched
and fine portions inside. Iron In about an
hour. First of all. iron the sleeves, then
the ruffies at the bottom. then the back
and finally all the rufIles and trimming and
the front. With skirts and drawers, the
ruffies first. and then the body part Any
crimping or fiuting must be done last Of
ALL after slightly dampening the ruffles
over again. When ironing circular ruffies
always iron with the thread of the goods
and the ruffies will not sag. For white
skirts and for dresses a skirt board is q
necessity; it should be about fifteen inches
wide at the bottom and narrow down to-
ward the top to about nine inches, and
should be about five or five and half feet
in length. 1t is much better to purchase
the folding skirt boards, being less ex-
pensive than having a carpenter make one.
Cover first with old blanket, folded
double, and then with a length of white
muslin. Tack the blanket into place I'M
derneath but merely pin the muslin cover
to the blanket. By packing this very close
1y together the pins will hold the muslin
cover smooth, and 1t Is an easy matter to
change 1t every week.
If one doubles petticoat from front to
back in order to save labor. always smooth
the front, or iron only to the fold: then
open the skirt and smooth the front, as
leaving this fold in is apt to make the
skirt stick out In front when 1t is worn.
A very little board. long and narrow,
with a pointed end, is useful for ironing
shirtwaist sleeves, shirt bosoms and many
small places in children's garments. and
this can be easily made at home and COW
cred. Sheets are generally ironed double,
and they should be folded lengthwise, for
this is exactly opposite to the way they are
hung upon a line; 1t distributes the wear
and makes them last longer.

The majority of this seasons coats and
jackets are made to set closely to the figure
at the back. A side piece is invariably in
troduced each side, and most garments of
this description have a seam down the CEN
ter of back. Leg-of-mutton sleeves are in
high favor, and many of the newest designs
In tweed coats have the collars and cuffs
trimmed with soft velvet.
The front of a coat can either be fastened
with mantle hooks and eyes or iy-fronted
like a covert coat, and buttons sewed on as
ornaments only. Two breast plaits are to
be taken up each side, but if preferred the
fronts may be left loose, The back seam is
lett open from the waist downward in order
to give spring to the garment. There is
sleeve shaped out all in one; a plat has to
De taken up at the cuff end: the gauntlet
cuff has to be stiffened with leno.
A popular skirt is cut in five pieces All
the fullness has to be taken to the back and
arranged into an inverted plait. A pocket
can be SeWed in beneath the back fastening.
This shape can be made with or without
foundation, according to the substance of
the material. The seams might be covered
with fancy edging of braid or they might
be strapped piped with some bright color.
Four and a half yards of ordinary double
width material would be sufficient for a full
size skirt, four yards of tweed or box cloth
for the coat.

THE ATMOSPHERE OF HEALTH.
Parents Should Surround Their Little
Ones With It.

Frnm the Housekeeper
Talk health before the little ones. Also
live and act normally. This world, bad as
1t may be- has much good in it. Humanity
is so valuable that the Savior died for Its
redemption The child must live his life In
the world and with his fellow man. Edu-
cation is to teach him how to relate him
self to both so as to get and give goodness
and happiness
The Intelligent, loving parent is always
anxious to protect the child from diseases
due to infection. Most of the contagious
diseases, such as measles, whooping cough
scarlet fever, diphtheria, ETC., are most
fatal in the first five years of life. or
measles more than half the deaths occur
under five years of age. In whooping
cough the death rate under two years
often reaches 50 per cent There Is also
the same percentage in scarlet fever ana
diphtheria.
In healthy children after ten years OF
age the death rate and severity OF these
diseases lessen very much.
After children are sent to school 1t is
not always possible to keep them from ex-
posure to contagion, but while they are at
home it requires but the proper sanitary
precautions on the part of the parents to
keep them from those infectious disorders
until infancy and early childhood are
passed and they are more able to with
stand disease.
Often has the writer seen the nursing
baby die. from whooping cough, scarlet
fever or measles when its older brothers
and sisters were scarcely i'll enough to go
to bed
Tuberculosis Is also easily contracted in
early life. 1t may be of the glands as the
cases of so-called scrofulous swellings of
the neck glands; also of the bones, as
Potts disease of the spine, hip joint dis
ease and the like, which result in impaired
health and lifelong deformity, or the still
more deadly pulmonary tuberculosis, which.
when contracted before fifteen, usually ends
fatally in short time

he Main for at least ten inches below the
waist line.
Three-Piece Linens.
Another charming novelty that was taken
soutb by smart woman and promises 10
he one of the ultra exclusive ideas of the
summer wardrobes is a three-piece linen
suit. Three-piece linen suits you perhaps
think are not a novelty, but wait and let
me explain in what way this triple alliance
in linen is a novelty. In the first place. the
linen Is of the daintiest and finest quaity
woven, and, ii goes without saying, cofre-
spondingly expensive. Then, the pieces are
embroidered by the sisters of french
convent world famous for their exquisite
handiWork They consist Of long sklrl
and two bodices. one high necked ana the
other low, although only slightly decoilete.
Each piece is deliberately inset with Valen-
ciennes lace After the lace has been rolled,
whipped and put in the finest kind OF en-
broidery formed of wreathS OF roses, Is
worked over linen and lace. To give more
effective appearance to the embroidery the
roses are padded. The low bodice is the
usual baby waist with the bertha-aS the
piece de resstance-elaborately embrold-
cred. The sleeves are elbow-length and
finished with embroidered ruffies with lace
between. The high waist is not unlike most
of the handmade lingerie affairs we saw
last summer, with the exception Of the
sleeves. which are also short. Paris has
gone wild over the short sleeve, so we may
as we'll accept it gracefully as one of the
summer fashions.

OF going to the Bible as a source Of sar-
torial inspiration. 1t is hardly probable
that the cOuturiereS will be driven 10 the
Scriptures for ideas. 1t is one thing 20
conform ones life to the Scriptural teach
ings and another thing to conform ones
clothes to the same teaching. and it Is
doubtful whether the genius of a Worth,
Paquia or Laferrere could make biblical
style of gOWning popular at the present
time. Imagine autoing in Ruth or Naomi
robe
The question one hears asked on every
side is, DO you really think the old French
styles will hold through the coming spring
and summer season. According to the
Partisan dressmakers they will be more in
evidence than ever. All of the new costumes
are made in this genre. and it goes without
saying that they have found their way into
the realm of the walking and afternoon as
well as evening toilet. There VIII be a GER
tain diversity OF treatment, but the main
scheme will never be lost sight of alto
gether.
The New Materials.
It is a far safer proposition to chronicle
the new materials that will be worn than
to be too insistent about the way they shall
be made. for Dame Fashion is as uncertain
as the proverbiaI woman, and. in the words
Of the clever playwright, George Bernard
Shaw, you never can tell" This tricksy
lady may wheel around and upset all your
preconceiyed sartorial theories before many
weeks are over There are some StrawS which
show the way mOdiStic winds Will blow.
These have been waited southwark and are
living their little day on the Riviera. One
OF these hints is that the skirts are
full, but they wear their sfullness with
most decided difference. They fit snugly
over the hips and back to the extreme end
OF the long corset. then flare out In a full
ness that follows every line of the figure.
1t is a little difficult 10 explain this freak
OF fashion. but to be modish the skirt must

what does except white material. and as
they are not expensive one may just as
we'll run the risk and trust to luck.
The gowns that the average woman Will
be needing very soon will be those of wolfe
or yelling, which is a distinction without
difference, for, call the fabric by whatever
name you WILL it is just finer and more
luStrous nuns yelling than we have ever
had This material creates the incest kind
of travelling gowns and morning frocks. 1t
is light and pleasant to wear, sheds dust
easily, and altogether is an unmftigated
JOY to the owner. Little costumes of the
yelling made with short skirts and
dresSy little blouseS. A coat of this ma
terial would not be success, as the wolfe
is too light in weight fer the strain of
tight-ftting wrap. The skirts are double
box plated, the plaits Tapped very much at
the waist and stitched down the required
ten inches. From there down they fare
out in ballet effect to three inches from the
ground, where the modish short walking
skirt is supposed to stop.
For separate skirts to wear with shirt
waists this model will share honors with
the circular cut made with a seam down
the front, which obviates the necessity of
seams and darts over the hips. The circu-
lar skirt is only good when made Of cloth.
The elegant afternoon and reception
gowns of the spring will be made OF the
new pompadour crepe de chine. This nov
city will be very exclusive, as only few
of the best dressmakers and importers took
over to America much of a supply. 1t is
somewhat on the order of liberty silk and
has the same lustrous surface. A broad
liberty stripe alternates with one of the
same shade in crepe, while over both is
floral design in pompadour effects.
Fer simpler frocks the old-time chine
silk which was worn during the civil war
is leading favorite. Both these materials
develop beautifully into restaurant and
theater dresses, which are no less elaborate
than genuine ball gowns, but are made

PARIS February A. 1905.
The tragedies and troubles in Russia are
the subjects OF general discussion in the
smart club. in the salon and in the poorer
quarters. The French have until recently
been the only friend ana ally this unfortu-
nate country has possessed, but the cow
ardly and crimnally weak attitude of the
car in this great social issue and brutal
ofiicialism have changed this sympathy into
scorn and derison.

A Pretty Way Of Using Scraps of Lace

Scraps Of lace, both new and old, and es-
pecially those of floral design, are most use
full to the ingenious and tasteful woman for
identifying her gowns.
She begins by cutting out the leaves and
flowers from the net foundation and apply
ing them to the silk or other material which
she desires to adorn. Then she works over
the design. covering up the lace well with
silk or peri lusta and so gaining q really
very good effect.
The lace answers all the purpose of a
stamped design, and indeed Is better for 1t

without any padding. and, IL nicely ar

tnal looking than any of the patterns sold

ARE RARE AND COSTLY
RUG WOVEN THREE CENTURIES
BACK A GREAT TREASURE.
Methods Employed in Oriental Coun-
tries fol Initiating
Antiques.

Written for The Evening Star.
Forty thousand dollars was the price paid
recently to family in reduced circum-
stances for an oriental rug which had been
woven in the sixteenth century, and rug
of seventeenth century weave sold at
ton the following week for $4,000 Antique
rugs from the orient are worth their weight
in gold Old rugs from Persia, Arabia and
India have sure a money value as have
diamonds, and rug is considered old when
it has seen fifty years of service.
Whether a rug is an oriental antique
even of oriental. weave is, however, quite
another matter. All sorts of methods
employed by rug makers to give the APP
pearance of age. Coffee is sprinkled over
the new product to deaden the bright col
orlngS of the wool and blend them as if by
age. Glycerine is rubbed into the nap of a
rug to give it the softness which comes by
long use. In Arabia and Persia it is not
uncommon for a family to place a newly
woven rug where horses and cattle are
constantly passing over it, After six
months of this hard wear it is offered for
sale as having been used fifty years.
large genuine antique is often the
product of one family's work for genera
ton, the same design having served for a
hundred years. One of the distinctive
marks of these rugs is that they have no
two figures of the same shape or coloring.
Importers Of rugs at the present day send
their designs to the orient to have them
woven by experts.
Several years ago valuable rugs were sent
back to the orient If they were in need
of repair Today clever designers copy the
pattern and the mending is done in rug
shop. Repairing fine rugs is costly and
tedious piece of work.

Low Hair Dressing.

In the matter of couture we have been 60
ing lately very much on the go-as-you-
please basis but rumor has it that the low
couture is definitely promised for summer
and is going to supersede to a great extent
the high dressing of the tresses. The front
hair will be dressed in SOFT bouffant style
about the temples. In nearly every case
the low method of arranging the hair ne
cessitates artificial aid, and there are dark
ognostications that the chignon is about
to arrive. This monstrosity will never be
accepted by the up-to-date woman, and.
like the crinolne craze, will be nipped in
the bud. That some sort of false hair will
be devised, artistic and natural, to meet the
coming need goes without saying, and We
have all faith in the smart hairdreSserS
decision to what it shall be.
