Matthew Anderson, who was crown solicitor in the city of Dub lin, and the younger bother of the late Sir Samuel Lee who succeeded his father in the office.

about dressmaking are very beneficial.
I am a girl Of 16, but look and dress
more like a girl Of 10. I do my own
sewing and would like little, advice.
Last summer I bought three quarter
length silk coat, which I think is bit
too old for me and I would like to
make it over. It has yoke across the
front and back, and has two rathe,
large box plaits in back and one on
each side Of the front. It has leg of
mutton sleeves. It also has q large
embroidered collar, square in shape
andrin three pieces, on foundation Of
net. The collar is very pretty, but is
too large, as it reaches to the waist in
the back, the point in the middle. The
collar may be removed and the pieces
can also be taken off. I would like to
know if I should make it up in bolero
effect or pony coat9 I would like tc
use the collar, as the cuffs are of the
same pattern, but if you can suggest /;

A Chat About RUGS

each corner of the under side of the
rug, of canvas or similar heavy stuff,
insert two Of the small leads and the
thing is done. These leads come in long
strips, also, for running all along the
end or sides where an extreme case Of
the whole edge curling is to be rene
died. The lead is thin enough not to
strike the foot when on, yet are heavy
enough to hold the rug out straight. It
is said that this curling at the corners
or edges betokens a rug of very fine
quality; that the very close weave
draws the threads so tight that they
curl.
i. !. i.
In selecting rug, with which one
has to live for some time, little care
and trouble repays one in the end. It
is a good idea to have several sent to
the home and put them down just where
they are to go and judge of their effect.
This in some cases may mean another
trip to hunt another, but it is better
than having floor covering entirely
inharmonious, as often happens, when
this is not done. A rug that looks very
attractive in shop, under electric
light, in the full glare of day or in
other conditions, appears entirely diff
ferent. Then, too, the furnishings it is
to blend with may not suit it or it may
not prove the proper background for
them at all.

shades Of gray were counted, which
goes to show the popularity of this COL
or, tho perhaps it is only just to say
that good many Of the gowns worn
were evidently just resurrections
donned for the occasion, in my opin-
ion, and this, am sure, most women
will both understand and believe. It
is almost impossible to design a gown
for you without knowing your measure
ments or coloring, but very pretty girl
ish suits are being made up in the soft
two or three-toned .-grays and fawns,
barred with pale green or Alice blue,
that would perhaps become you. They
are tweedlike in appearance and have
pleated skirts with rather long box
coats, closing double breasted with
large pearl buttons and a rolling col
lar and cuffs Of velvet in keeping or
contrasting with the cloth. If this has
not helped you and you would like to
write again, please give details.

En- UGS for floor coverings, besides
being the most hygienic, are the
~ thing most approved by artistic
house furnishers, as well as by fash
ion at the present time. It is interest
ing to note, therefore, few suggestions
that will not only give better effects
from rugs, but will be conducive to
their longer life.
!. !. !.
To get the best effect from a rug,
particularly from, one with a long nap,
it should be laid with it's nap against
the light; that is, running toward it.
In this way the light strikes against
the pile and brings out the lights and
shadows considered so effective in 8

oriental rugs.

What housewife has not been an
noyed with rug that will curl at the
corners or at the edges? There is a
clever little plan by which this can be
very effectively remedied with very
little trouble; it can be done at shop
for trifing sum or the housewife can
easily do it herself. If it is to be done
at home, procure from a carpet depart
ment the very thin pieces of lead for
weighing rugs, in the size desired.

A reader requests a birthday party

add much to the festive appearance.
Then on the porch or under a tree
suspend a large Japanese parasol. This
will form covering for the bowl Of

Personally, I consider a three-quar-
ter black silk coat is really valuable
addition to ones wardrobe, and think
it would be mistake to cut it up into
a shorter model. Still, it might be
altered and brought a little more up to
date, and possibly more becoming. For
instance, you might release the deep
pleats and substitute several rows of
shirring, giving an empire effect. This
would be more girlish looking than the
pleats, and then you might head the

upper edge, forming cuffs. This should
be entirely satisfactory, will be an en-
tire change and certainly both smart

be reserved for future use on some 9th

model, something between box coat

bolero effect. The long, loose coats

the popular length is that just covering
