NOTES ABOUT NEEDLEwoRK.
How Many Dainty Dress Accessories
May Be Easily Made.

Linen bags, either In white or col
ors. and embroidered In the owners
own monogram, are one OF the latest
whims Of fashion, and very sensible
one 1t is, for these bags not only give
finishing touch to the linen cos
tune, but can be put in the tub al
most as often as the gown itself.
The possibilities Of short lengths OF
ribbon and lace, bits OF linen, lawn
or silk are simply wonderful, II they
happen to fall into skilled hands,
while even the veriest amateur can
produce really charming results, sup
posing her taste is good, and all at
little or no cost beyond industry.
While you are planning the things
to take with you on your summer trip
don't forget to make q laundry bag or
two. A gayly printed cretonne bag ior
closet or room door (if you are pressed
for space) is boon, and what Is even
more satisfactory is big bag made
of white or unbleached mu:lin, In
which to send the clothes away. II
should be plainly marked with your
name written in indelible ink.
Those who make their afghans VIII
be delighted with the number OF pref
ty stitches that are being used this
year. There is the biscuit stitch,
which is raised, and on the right side
looks like series Of narrow-ouns,
about half an inch wide and two
inches long. The reverse side, show
ing these biscuits hollow, is not so
attractive. Made in browns, from a
deep nut shade to light tan, this
stitch may be worked into a really
beautiful coverlid. = Chicago Daily

COLORlNG IN MILK.
Utah Food Commissioner Tells How
It May Be Detected.

There are several ways, according
to John Peterson, food commissioner
of Utah, in which the presence Of col
oring matter in milk may be detected.
II an aniline dye has been added to
give a rich, creamy appearance to
thin blue milk, little vinegar mixed
with the milk, after first heating the
latter, will produce curds Of dis
tinctly orange hue. II caramel has
been employed the curds will turn
brown with the addition of the vine
gar. Whenever milk or cream is al
lowed to stand in clear glass bottle
for IL hours or more 1t will separate
into watery and creamy layers. II the
lower layer Is yellow It is a proof. Of
the presence of artificial coloring of
some Sort and whenever milk or
cream is kept in warm place for 4s
hours, and still remains sweet, 1t Is
pretty safe to assume that a preserv-
alive has been used. In fact, the
keeping sweet of many an article of
food under conditions which should
make 1t spoil or ferment readily is a
sign that the thing in question has
been tempered with.

For the Home pressmaker.

Not a few home dressmakers over
look the fact that when putting on
n collar the neck of the bodice OF
blouse should be slightly smaller
than the base of the collar band and
the bodice notched here and there
while putting the collar on. BY do
ing this wrinkles are avoided. Again
when cutting out sleeves, to avoid
the disaster Of cutting both for the
same arm, fold the material either
face to face or back to back. Place
the pattern on 1t and cut both to.
Igether. A proper pair of sleeves ia
bound to be the result.
Make the under part of the sleeve
double, SO that 1t can be darned, as
this wears out sooner than the up
per. Don't forget to do plenty OF
lacking and pressing. To neglect
these two points stamps a garment
as homemade" at once.
Always shrink new braid before
sewing to a skirt. In shortening q
skirt pattern, too, always fold a plat
across the middle of the pattern
Never shorten from the top or bot
tom Of the skirt, or the shape will be
spoiled. A rolling-pin, with a cloth
round 1t, makes a good pressing
board.

Woman,s Fondness for Flnery.

Anthropologists will tell us that
wenen dress to catch beaux and OAR
win gives long pages to prove that the
pretty colors, stripes, spots and forms
of animals originated In the superior
luck OF individuals endowed by chance
with attractive variations. Selection
of mates went by beauty, and pretty
feathers made the pretty bird. But
as respects humankind that play of
evolution Is obsolete. Among wild
animals and primitive races 1t may
still hold good. but everybody that
knows anything knows that nowadays
in cultured communities women dress
for other women, not for men. Men
are incapable Of comprehending and
approaching the niceties and refine
ments OF feminine dress. For whose
admiration, for example. is the brides
trousseau created? 1t Is evidently and
confessedly beyond the bridegroom
powers and he ignores it-stupid thing
that he is. Dress, In short, IL fne
art which women pursue in and for
itself and the educated taste they
bring to bear upon It lifts II above all
other decorative arts.-Baltimore Sun.

SOUTH AMERICAN QUAKE.

One Of the worst earthquake disas.
tiers in the history of South America
has occurred in Chill, with the city OF
Valparaiso as the focus point of the
calamity, according to cables from
Valparaiso as the focus point Of the
South American points.
It is feared the town of Los Andes
in the province of Aconcagua, has
been destroyed.
In addition to the fear of earth
quakes the Valparaiso people are In
constant dread of storms, which
sweep In suddenly and frequently
from the sea.
Following the first shock fire start
ed in Valparaiso and hundreds of the
Inhabitants perished in the flames,
Prior to the spreading of the flames
many persons lost their lives under
the falling ruins of buildings shaken
from their foundations by the first
shock Of earthquake.
The earthquake interrupted cable
facilities to lower South American
points.
The entire absence of any word
from official source in Valparaiso and
other points In Chill may be taken az
indicating considerable exaggeration
in the reports OF loss of life and ex
tent Of damage.

Suffered for "whlte LIe.-

Is white lie ever justified? That
at least some people believe 1t has
no excuse is proved by the following
tale: An ancient rabbi came to city
where all the people were truthful,
married one of the Inhabitants, had
two children and prospered. One day
a neighbor called when the rabbits
wife was washing her head, and the
rabbi, going to the door, was seized
by false modesty and said that she
had gone out Thereupon both Of his
children died, and, as no one died in
that city before reaching old age, the
neighbors made inquiries, the rabbi
confessed what he had done, and was
ordered to leave the city Immediately.

SALLoW FACES
Often Caused by Coffee Drinking.

How many persons realize that cof-
fee SO disturbs digestion that it pro-
duces muddy, yellow complexion?
A ten days trial Of Postum Food
Coffee has proven O means, In thou
sands of cases, Of clearing up bad
compilations.
A washn. young lady tells her expe-
rience:
"All of us-father, mother, sister
and brother-had used tea and coffee
for many years until finally we all
had stomach troubles more or less.
I'VE were all sallow and troubled
with pimples, breath bad, disagree
able taste in the mouth, and all OF us
simply SO many bundles of nerves.
I'VE didn't realize that coffee was
the cause of the trouble until one day
we ran out Of coffee and went to bor-
row some from neighbor. She gave
us some Postum and told us to try
that.
Although we started to make It,
we all felt sure we would be sick II
we missed our streng coffee, but we
were forced to try Postum and were
surprised to find It delicious.
I'VE read the statements on the
pkg. got more and in a month and
half you wouldn't have known us.
We were all able to digest our food

COOP coLoas roR HOUSES.

1t is not generally known-not even
among painters-why certain tints
and colors wear much better than
others on houses, and the knowledge
of just what tints are best to use Is.
therefore, rather hazy.
One writer on paint, In recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays OF the sun,
will protect house better than those
which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red Is good color because 1t
turns back, or reflects, the red rays,
and the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, 80 far as wear is concerned. In
choosing the color of paint for your
house, select reds, browns, grays
and olives which, considering the va
rious tones these tints will produce,
will give wide range from which to
choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows like lemon, cold green's
(like grass green, etc.,, and the blues.
1t must be understood that no vir-
tue is claimed for tints In themselves,
irrespective of the materials used In
the paint. Any color will fade, and
the paint will scale off, IL adulterated
white lead or canned paint Is used,
but II one is careful to use the best
white lead--some well-known brand
of reliable manufacturer-and gen.
uine linseed oil. the warm tints men,
toned above will outwear the same
materials tinted with the cold colors.
