GOOD METHOD FOR SKIRTS.
Simple and Effective Way Of Arrang.
ina the Tucks.

There is a simple way to save flu
ture trouble in finishing the bottom Of
skirts for young people from tots to
half grown girls. 1t is better than
letting out tucks in the usual way
when the plain spaces usually come in
the wrong place.
With this plan, which may be used
whether there are or are not other
tucks, the tuck is laid directly over
the hem, making practically two hens,
which, after being pressed, have the
appearance of one.
AS in all things, there is simple
and easy way to accomplish it, the
way in this case being to turn the
lower edge of the goods back and
forth in three folds. First, turn under
the tiny raw edge on the bottom of
the skirt and then turn under the hem
two and a half inches deep, which
makes the first fold. Double this back
on the right side the same distance.
creasing the second fold. The three
layers of the cloth are then turned
back under again, which creases it the
third time. This forms tuck directly
over the hem. When ready to stitch
turn the tuck up and stitch twice. put
ting one row of machining under and
one over the middle crease.
When ready to let the dress down.
rip out the top stitching and the hem
| is ready and undisturbed.

DANIELS AS A MOTORiST.
The Scotchman Mstook the Comedi'
ans Imprecation.

Frank Daniels has been motoring
his way through foreign lands during
the summer, and is proud of the rec
ord he made. But one mishap oc-
Cured he solemnly swears.
After dinner in one town Daniels
started for Pitlocherie, some 40 miles
away, hoping to make 1t before the
northern night set in. His lamps had
given out and the laws are very strict
as regards motors proceeding in the
darkness without illumination. While
the machine didn't stop, it baked a
bit, and the first thing Daniels knew
night had come on and Pitlocherie
was not yet in sight. In desperation
he put full speed on the machine and
soon reached the town.
The streets were practically unlight-
ed, and he had to slow down. Follow
| ing what seemed to be main thor
! oughfare, he was suddenly brought to
! a stop by low stone wall Although
the machine was going very slowly.
the shock was sufficient to throw Mr..
! Daniels over the front. He landed
| front yard, and the noise of his sud-
den and forcible arrival brought the
owner of the house to the door with
a candle in his hand.
Daniels on his knees and very an
cry raised his hands in imprecation,
and shouted: Good Lord above us.

do you mean by building fence

The Scottish gentleman, only wait
ing for the first part OF Mr. Daniels
speech, turned eagerly to the inside
of the house and called out: Mary,

Daniels subsequently discovered
that the fence was not built across the
street, but that the road ook a sharp
turn at the point whsre he made his
tumble.

NEW FANCY IN EMBROIDERY.
eiedermeier Has Many Qualities to
Recommend II.

One of the latest fancies In en-
broidery is known as the Biedermeier.
This is in a way a return to the old
style simple embroidery that was in
vogue before the idea of many tones
of color. While different tones are
used, only one tone appears in a SIN
gle figure. The embroidery Is on
linen, for table covers, scarfs, pillows
and other useful articles.
The designs are stamped, and with
each piece comes the quantity and Sc
lection of threads and colors to use.
One of the designs, for instance, is
for pillow cover In the center Is a
wreath, and below this at either side
an orange tree or similar conventional
figure. The wreath is of green leaves
and roses. There are roses of three
or four different shades of pink, but
only one shade is used in rose. The
one shade of yellow is all that APP
pears in the oranges.
In the center of one wreath is a
miniature portrait, the bonnet of one
color, the dress of another, the drapery
Of third. In the center OF anott er
wreath is a portrait in silhouette lin
profile and all black. 1t would be
quite easy to make this silhouette por-
trait that of the giver or the recipient
and thus give an added value 20 the
pillow.
The trend of the day is to make
fancywork less difficult than formerly
and to that end are many parts of en-
broidery that come ready to apply to
the foundation of whatever is used.
This more simple embroidery will be
eagerly sought. not only for the ease
with which it may be accomplished,
but because it is particularly suitable
for a room having mission furniture.

About Furnishing.

The woman of moderate means will
do we'll to insist upon simplicity in
her furnishings, particularly If her
house is very small or if she must ac'
commodate herself to a few rooms.
Let all that she buys be the best of its
kind, even if very simple, and let her
avoid much carved wood work. par
ticularly if she must do her own dust
ing. y.
This is one of the greatest charms
about the so-called mission" furni-
ture. 1t presents a good appearance
and does not require much painful and
intricate brushing and chamoising.
1t is much better to have a room
fairly bare of furniture for a while
than to crowd it with lot OF odd
pieces which do not suit it, and re-
ouire much care at housekeeping
times.
The woman who learns that coziness
does not necessarily mean crowded
look has made a great stride In IN
terror decorating.

A Specific Illustration.

That the protective tariff creates
monopolies is charge many times
repeated by the opponents of protec-
ton. That protection encourages and
builds up competition in the United
States is the claim of friends of that
policy, and proof of that claim is
given in the existence of manufacture
ing competition in this country such
as no other nation possesses. A spe-
cific illustration of the power of pro-
lection in the way of building up COM
petition is shown in the fact that the
great United States Steel company has
been recently beaten in competition
with the Midvale company for an i'm
portant government contract. The
Midvale company is a comparatively
new competitor for large contracts.
To provide competition by making 1t
possible for all American manufac-
turers to grow and prosper, seems a
more desirable way than to weaken
home efforts by admitting foreign
competition, with all the differences
i'm wages and other values which the
latter involves. Practical experience
proves that the American way is the
best way.-Adrian (Mich.) Times.

A FRIEND IN NEED.
He Helped Lew Out of an Embar-
RAISING Position.

Lew Dockstader, the well-known
minstrel, relates a story of a rather
odd and embarrassing position which
he was forced to assume some 20
years ago, while he was making his
early efforts in the direction of fame
as an entertainer. Lewis salary was
a trifle less than SIS per week, out of
which sum it was necessary for the
comedian to supply himself with
wardrobe and other things. Not
withstanding Dockstader's numerous
obligations he was wont to entertain
friends. While strolling up fremont
avenue in Boston on Saturday even
ing Dockstader met woman acquaint-
ance whom he invited into nearby
restaurant to dine, and in less than
10 minutes the pair had ordered
sumptous meal After they had fin
ished Dockstader nodded to the wait
er and received q check. An itemized
bill was handed the comedian which
figured seven dollars. Dockstader pc
rused the bill and with a look dis
gust slipped his hand into his pocket
count, at which moment a look of de-
spair was noticeable in Dockstader's
face. He was unable to find any
money. His woman friend was good
enough to suggest that 1t was possible

room at the theater and Dockstader's

dicament to the waiter and assured
him that he would reimburse him the

immediate settlement, becoming abus-
i've and insulting. While Dockstader
and the waiter were discussing the
matter in slightly heated tones an ell
DERBY gentleman who had been seated
opposite Dockstader arose and WINS
pered TO the comedian:
Young man, If you will permit me,
I will gladly settle that check for you,
as | know ii is humiliating for both
your friend and self to be insulted by
an ordinary waiter.
Dockstader thanked the stranger
for his offer, but refused to allow him
to pay the bill The gentleman, how
ever. was determined, and handed the
waiter a $40 bill. He received $13 In
change, which he slipped into Dock
stader's hand. saying: Keep 1t, you
may need it. With these remarks
the stranger started to leave the DIN
ing hall and Dockstader followed him
out requesting his name and address
in order that he could return the $2C
the next day. The man positively re
fused to divulge his name or address
and as ne started to enter carriage
pulled Dockstadcr to one side and
said:

"A SMALL THING.r

Do you believe in progress? DO you
believe that all the wonderful achieve
ments of the nineteenth century-the
railroad, the telegraph, the telephone,

life easier and better worth living? l
do RELIEVE that a man who lives
40 years under modern conditions has
experienced more life and better life
than Methusalem, though he had lived
20 centuries of his time.
The triumphs of the nineteenth cen

the placing of knowledge and the
fruits of knowledge within the reach
of the common man. Every man s.
