FOR GOOD I EFFECTS. |
THINGS THE HOME DREssMAkER
SHOULD REMEMBER.
Proper Fitting OF Bodice Has Much to
Do with Appearance-Newest
Ideas in Cushions and
'PilIoWs-CoIlars.

With straight seam, it is we'll to
remember that in fitting bodice on
an older woman, particularly on the
woman. who is inclined to be stout,
the back seam should be kept COM
promisingly straight and the side back
seams should be curved in at the waist
line. The successful appearance of a
Woman's figure at this age very large
ly depends on the fit of the back of
the dress, where f1atness and length
are required. In the front of bodice
the darts should be extremely shallow.
The newest long cushions and pill
lows are covered with colored silk
or oriental satin with a gathered puff
of about five inches deep at each end,
but not reaching beyond. The muslin
cover reaches only to the commence
ment of the puff. The effect is very
pretty, especially if the muslin cover,
with ribbon run through Sits, is used.
The ribbon should, of course, be of
the same color as the puffs and vary
from two to. four inches in width, fin
ished off with bow at one corner
Bed pillows and also soft cushions
frequently have soft sash ribbon
widths run in.> The coverlids are
trimmed to correspond
Dainty lace collars, made of sheer
net, with insertion motifs and edging,
will be smart for afternoon and even
ing wear this year. They are much
more elaborate than those popular
last season and are consequently more
expensive, for the very finest of i'm
ported laces are used on a net back
are unable to buy costly neckwear,
the styles of these new ones a, quite
simple and can be easily made at
home, once the net is shaped to fit
the neck of the wearer. The decOra-
tion added by appliqueing ''val'' lace
or even pieces of filet is comparative
ly simple. Attaching the tabs in front
for a finish, either by cutting away
the net and inserting handsome
pattern or by adding round or oblong
piece to the bottom of the collar
proper, is the most difficult rart of
the making Around the edges at top,
bottom and both ends a pretty narrow
piece of "vaI' insertion should be ruff
fed on, so that it gives a small ruch-
ing effect that is becoming to most
any shape face. To prevent these
stocks from being flimsy and to hold
them in place and give body 10 the
sheer materials a small silk-covered
fiat or round piece of featherhone
should be sewed to the top and hot
tom and attached to the ends.

Drv CIeanjnq for Amateurs.

Dry cleaning at home, thanks to
the ease with which gasoline can be
acquired nowadays, is almost re-
gard ed in the light of hobby by
many women, although there is moth
ing original in subjecting gloves to
amateur treatment of this kind, it
has remained for recent years to
bring in the fashion for more ambi-
tious work. Blouses of silk, mousse
line de sole, crepe de chine, taffeta
and other fabrics, as we'll as silk
jabots, scarfs and ties, can be sue
cessfully cleaned by means of gaso-
line, while as regards renovating mil
nnery and dress trimmings, a large
field is open to the home-worker.

Remedy for FeIons,

Wet piece of cotton in water and
squeeze it nearly dry, then wet it
with the tincture of bloodroot, bind it
on the felon and as soon as it dries
wet it again. Keep it wet continually
and it will bring about very speedy
cure.

Coffee Makes Curtains Ecru Shade.

After washing the net curtains
carefully in luke warm water, with
pure white or CASTLE soap, rinse them
in clear, cool water, and, after wiring
ing them as dry as is possible, put
through liquid coffee, and carefully at
tach to regulation stretchers and
put out in the air to dry. Do not
make the mistake of rubbing the net
on washing board or even between
the hands; instead just pull it up and
down in the water until the dirt is
out. Do not starch. The curtains
look. better without any stihcenine.

"Fields Of Peace. -

1t was the belief of the ancient
Egyptians, according to a recent
writer, that everything, material and
immaterial, had its immortal double.
Out of this grew the idea of life
in the future state of perfect happi-
ness in the "Fields of Peace" For
long time the, common people re-
garded these ':Fields Of Peace not as
a celestial place but as situated in the
fertile and well-watered regions of the
Nile delta in the northwest Of Egypt,
where the blessed ever breathed the
cool north wind. Here they lived an
ideal form of their life upon earth.
They plowed their fields and grew the
grain which supplied them with the
'tbread which grew not stale and beer
that never became sour" Here was
situated the duplicate of their earthly
towns or villages 49,
