tie with Germs.
The greatest war in the world is that
which is continually being waged by
housekeepers. Their homes are beset
by enemies within and without, and
their mistakes in dealing with these
foes have results just as serious as those
that follow the blnnders Of generals on
the battlefield They may not mean
battle and murder and sudden death, but
the death is just as sure as II it were
sudden.
Among the fercest enemies Of the
housewife are those minute and invis-
ible organisms called germs, which the
conditions of modern life render in
creasingly dangerous.
Germs collect in sinks and sewer
pipes, in cupboards, bedrooms and par
1ors. Water and milk are favorite
breeding places, and wherever there are
dirt and darkness they thrive. Cold
does not kill them, and they are car
/ Iied by articles Of food and clothing,
iHy flies and other insects, by dogs and
cats, by the air and in many other
ways.
Boiling water is one Of the best ger
/ 1nicides, but it does not Kill the spores
given off by the germ, which are more
tenacious Of life than the parent or
ganism. In order to secure absolute
fertilization, alternate heating and cool
ing are often resorted to, the spores
being allowed few hours to develop
after each heating. Boiling for twenty
minutes Will Kill most spores. Water

quently be cleaned, especially in the
kitchen, with q strong hot solution Of
soda. Every ,precaution should be
taken to keep dust out Of the air. Fur
niture that does not accumulate dust
should be selected. and rugs should be
carried out Of doors to be shaken. If
carpets are used, which is highly un-
desirable, they should be sprinkled with
tea leaves or dampened paper before
sweeping, and thoroly cleaned twice q
year. busting should be done when
ever possible with damp cloth 80 as
not to scatter the dust thru the air.
For the busting of woodwork and
wooden furniture, the cloth may be
dampened with. a little kerosene. It
should be shaken frequently out Of the
window and hung out OF doors after
ward. Hardwood. floors should be wiped
with cloth dampened with: kerosene.
AS sunshine is a powerful germicide,
it should be admitted to all the rooms
in as large quantities as possible, and
the Importance Of ventilation, which
replaces the vitiated and germ-laden
air Of the house by the pure air out
side, cannot be overestimated.

Before we were really thru talking Of
Betty's plans, Mrs. Hughes came in
from across the street to tell us about
the military euchre she is going to give
on Washington 3 birthday. She will
borrow all the flags and military para
phernalia in the neighborhood and the
guests will be divided into two forces,
English and American. Each table will
represent a fort with flag planted in a
flower pot in the center and will be
guarded by the woman who drew it by
matching patriotic notices, each cut in
four pieces. Scores will be kept with
tiny English and American flags, and
the winners will thread them on the
narrow ribbons futtering from their
home forts. A bugle or drum will sound
the beginning and close Of an engage
ment and at the end Of the afternoon
the four players who have won the most
flags will each receive large American
flag. :,
Mrs. Hughes will roll her bread-and-
butter sandwiches and tie them with
narrow red, white and blue, ribbon and
the sweetbread salad will be served in
drum cases. The ices will be moulded
to represent piles Of cannon balls, sur
mounted by tiny flags and the cakes will
be decorated with cherries on, cltron
stems. AS a. favor for everybody there
will be one Of the candy medallions OF

1ect. 1t Is we'll for the home dress
maker to bear this in mind; exagger-
ated effects are always in bad taste, and
the, whole tone of the newest spring
modes is softness-soft materials and
soft effects-only the English "tailor-
mades' show hard, straight lines.
Day of Lax Fitting Is Past.
The new Partisan models show also
the perfectly fitted Innings; no matter
what form the outer bodice may take,
the day OF lax fitting is past; the figure,
ly set up. But this does not mean that
we are returning to the old 'torturs
cases. the hard boned corset; on the
contrary, the modern woman demands
ease of movement, hence corsets and
Innings are fitted with supple supports
that yield to the figure.
This beautiful fitting and molding is,
new "tailor- mades''' for spring. Altho
these refuse to assume the severe lines
of the English models, they show the
outlines of the figure in most charming
ways: The skirts are rather plain, and
tho close fitted over the hips with tucks,
fall full to the ground, and if trimmed
is either cut With deep point, or V deep
girdle divides it from the skirt; but its
construction depends on the coat or
cape. If smart little coat is to be
worn the blouse or bodice is not verv
full; but under the delightful little
capes the corsage is elaborate, with very
dressy sleeves.
Small Checks and Plaids.
There is quite a fancy for small
checks, both in taffeta and mohair. One
handsome model of the latter was made
In paneled overskirt of blue and fawn,
over a plain blue underskirt, the pam
els cut with projecting tabs which but

panels were graduated, and continued

the front. and the short, open bell sleeve
strapped In the same way. This is sug-
gestive design, and might be made use

which is, alas, a necessity with great
init as many changes as Dame Fashion
exacts.
Another costume of blue chiffon mo.
hair shows the combination Of two ma
terials, soft lightweight chiffon velvet
cen supplying the underskirt effect,
most artistically held by the braid edged
ing the velvet is used for facing, with
a band of haircloth laid in. The velvet
dots are slpstitched on, graduated up
from large to small on the skirt, and
from the shoulders down on the sleeves.
The sleeve lining is almost as wide as
the sleeve proper, the latter held out by
a haircloth epaulet and gathered full
above the elbow The elbow sleeve, be
it noted, is a growing feature of the
newest Partisan models. This costume
is not difficult of achievement if one
start with well fitted lining. Any
woman with patience enough to be ex-

and it can be successfully developed IL /
