voaues in Velvet Gowns.

The majority of the velvet dresses
are made in the princesse style unless

deep bertha OF old rose point lace
On the pale shades. as blue and green
pearl bead embroidery is effective. and
there are numberless ways in which
the gown may be adorned with large
bead embroidered patterns both on
skirt and waist.
There seem to be two favorite mod
els for velvet dresses. the one having
the material draped across front and
back, the skirt and waist in one piece.
the other trimmed rather elabo-ateiy
with satin made with wide pointed

Get the Saving Habit.

Take care of the pennies and the
dollars will take care of themselves. "
and Good principles and good habits
are in themselves fortune" are good
maxims.
And how can we take care of the
pennies. do you ask? Taking care of
things means not wasting them heed
lessly. Pennies in our pockets often
need taking care of when we are pass
ing slot machines and candy shops
They have n fashion of dropping into
these places where they bring us little
or no return. Waste produces want
and misery, whereas thoughtful ccono-
my creates good habits. Habits grow
into character and good principles and
good habits are indeed a fortune in
mental and moral as well as in a
financial way. When we learn to
deny ourselves foolish indulgences so
that we may save money and time for
some good use, we feel satisfaction
and selfresponsibility that gives life
an added JOY.

by. Some of the new tartan ginghams
are as lustrous as silk. Checks over
laid with embroidered dots are favor
ties, and there are beautiful patterns
in many shades of pale green threaded
with white and sprinkied with green
and black dots.
The new linens almost exhaust the
possibilities Of variety, running from
the sheerest handkerchief grades to
the coarsest hopsacking. 1t is too
early to express even the most mod
est opinion, but If present showings
are Indicative, the finest and coarsest
linens tend to crowd out medium
weaves.
The first liEen shirt waist suits i'm
ported are made with full, plated
skirts, usually with a box-riaited front
panel. The decorations on most of
the early models comprise Japanese
embroidery set off by rare lace or
drawnwork.

8. Heat a piece of wire and stick
it through the middle of candle.
Make wick at both ends. Balance
the candle on two tumblers. Light

Modish Trimming.

The bouillonee is still modish trim
ming and the narrow plated frills
also retain their popularity. Among
the popular trimmings for cashmere
house frocks is narrow plated frill
of silk. The frill is set on in bold
Greek key design upon the full skirt
and the skirt has very shallow plain
yoke, which gives snugness just about
the waist line and is cut in two points
in the front Frills trim the sleeve
and edge the turned down collar. and
silk matching that OF the frilling is
used for the girdle and for bows set
down the bodice front. model of
delicate gray cashmere has bands of
appliQued embroidery in shades Of
gray and white run around the full
skirt border, the simple surpliced bod
ice. which also acts as trimming for
the sleeves.

Cloth Skirt and Velvet Coat.

Most charming in the new shades OF
blue is a costume with cloth skirt and
velvet coat, the skirt. many shades the
lighter, braided in a round cord flecli-
ed with silver. In the walstcoat Is
more than a hint of silver cloth in a
braided pattern on two shades of blue
brocade. In a light brown is another
attractive rendering OF the same de-
sign, the cloth almost tan and the
coat dark brown velvet The waist
coat of brocade is light tan. with
pinkish flowered design. All these
coats are tight fitting, but SO well arc
they cut that they can be worn over

still a most popular fashion. of en-
broidered lawn or crepe de chine. with
insertions of lace.

After n can of unlicensed milk has
been opened, keep the lid raised. or
better still, cut it off so the contents
will be exposed to the air.
Stand the jar to be filled with hot

will be no danger of a broken jar.
When sweet corn is served on the
cob leave a few of the inner husks on
the ear when boiling. as 1t will be
much sweeter and keep warm longer.
A novel pickle is made by combin-
ing sweet corn and cabbage, each sepa-
rately, then. scalded in sweet spiced
vinegar and canned for winter use.
The novice should memorize this
rule: White meats well done, dark
meats underdone. except in fowls,
which should always be thoroughly
cooked.
To soften beefsteak smear cou-
pie of teaspoons of salad oil over the
meat, place it between two plates and
leave it for a few hours. This works
wonders in softening the fiber.

MIR. Porcupine Quills.

1t used to be said that the porcupine,
when attacked, shot its quills at Its
assailants. The notion is. of course,
absurd. For If the animal shot It's
quills away at enemy No. l, what was
1t to do when enemy No. came
along? The quills drop out easily
and are shed periodically. and this
may have given rise to the popular
delusion. But they are useful for at

Velvet Gowns Very Much in Favor

Velvet Gowns Very Much In Favor.
Velvet gowns increase in fashion
able favor as the days go by. and in
the styles in which they are accepted
now their uses are manifold. One sees
them in princess forms, either the Sc
verely plain or the more graceful
draped designs. They are trimmed law
ishly with real laces, with medallions
of varying kinds and character, with
handsome braids. or they are left with
only an irreproachable cut and finish
for their sole decoration. The three
piece velvet costume is one that is
perhaps capable of the greatest. va
riety of appearances, the coat and
skirt admitting of wide choice in the
matter of bodices. The chiffon vel
vets and velveteens are SO soft that
the accusation of bulk, which has
hitherto rendered them unsuitable for
bodice uses. has fallen away utterly,
and one sees as many velvet as chiffon
bodices and blouses in all of the ex-
elusive shops which cater to the most
fashionable trade.

sEaelianee a Good Teacher.

We oIten find that boys who have
educated themselves in the country,
almost without schooling or teachers,
make the most vigorous thinkers.
They may not be quite as polished or
cultivated, in some ways, but they
have something better than polish,
and that is mental vigor. originality
of method. and independence. They
do not lean upon their schooling. or
depend upon their diplomas; neces-
sity has been their teacher. and they
have been forced to act for them
selves and be practical; they know
little of theories, but they know what
will work. They have gained power
by solving their own problems. Such
self-educated, self-made men carry
weight in their communities because
they are men of power and think Wig.
orously and strongly; they have
learned to concentrate the mind.
Self-help is the only help that will
make strong. vigorous lives. Self.re-
lance is great educator and early
poverty is n good teacher. Necessity
has ever been the priceless spur
which has called man out OF himself
and spurred him on to his goal.
Grit is more than match for al
most any handicap. 1t overcomes oh.
stacles and abolishes difficulties. II
is the man who makes an opportunity
and does not wait for it-the man who
helps himself and does not wait to be
helped-that makes the strong think
er and vigorous operator.
1t is he who dares to be himself and
to work by his own program. without
initiating others, who wins.-M Montreal

man six feet tall would have to leap
