TIME AND MONEY SAVING HINTS
As to Sleeves

A RE your sleeves bothering you be-
 A cause they look out of date? If \ so. just note some of the fashion plates and see what you can do with little ingenuity First. if they are of that variety worn comparatively recent iy. 'baggy'' at the hand and small at the top, turn them upside down and add modern cuff or band. They may need a little piecing right at the seams. top and bottom. but, well done this need never show. If they are merely tight, insertion or vertical bands will remedy the evil. Or, possibly, they may be tucked or gathered in somewhere. If 50. let all this out and press we'll so that the old stitchings will not show. and try cutting new sleeve. Don't feel distressed If the under side is not quite so straight with the goods as you would like to have 1t. if 1t comes out better that way. Make the rest of your sleeve carefully and give 1t good touch. No one will notice the under side. and the sooner you yourself forget it the better of you will be.

stencil to fabrics. and each has its ad- vantage The first is aniline dye. which is put upon the market by manufactur- CTS in all colors and in convenient pack ages. The same judgment must be ob- served in selecting the dyes as when using them for their legitimate pur- pose and the directions on the packages for mixing them must be observed. One strong point in favor of the dye in sten- cling is that q quantity may be mixed at time with no risk of it's changing color. The second medium Is oil paint thinned to the fluid consistency with gasoline. Cotton goods will take up the dyes.
 Stretch the goods to be stenciled taut over a large board or table. and in the case or thin fabrics put a sheet of blot ting paper under 1t to absorb any surplus

To Apply Insertion

WYE ARE beginning to make up IVY our pretty summer goods. if
 W we are wise, and probably we will be using good deal of lace inser- tion. A quick, neat, easy way to ap- ply 1t is as follows: Stitch the inser- ton to the material on both sides with out cutting goods. When this is done, turn and slit the material down through the middle, being careful not to cut the lace. Turn back close to the stitching and press down tight, or baste. if neces- sary., Stitch again right over first stitching. and then trim away material close. Some very neat people hem down this material instead of cutting 1t away, but. when finished. the garment does not look nearly so neat as when cut close, and is no more secure.

Best Results From Whalebone

IN this day of many limitations genu-
 inc whalebone is by no means in 4 common use. No substitute. how ever, is quite so durable or so satisfac- tory. To get the best results the bone should be cut into the required lengths and soaked for an hour before using. It will then be pliable and easily han dled, and if the ends are shaved with a sharp knife they can be forced into the casing in way to mean perfect smooth ness, while the ends will show no ugly mark and can be quite easily sewed in- to position as the needle will pass through the bone without resistance.

How to Finish a Skirt

TT Is in the finish of the garment that
 the amateur dressmaker generally 4 fails. In this day of very light weight materials 1t is important that the hem or facing of the skirt should be properly treated. Lightweight cloths and materials of the sort are greatly improved by the use of an interfacing of percaline, or something similar. Taffeta. foulard, pongee and the like take on an added effect Of beauty when used As a matter of course, this inter facing is either shaped to fit the skirt or cut bias and stitched into shape

To Press Silk Seams

EVERY woman who has ever put
 H warm iron on silk knows the effect A is a disastrous one. yet seanis must be pressed flat. Accomplished tailors and dressmakers obtain the desired result by passing the open seam over the edge of an iron which is just warm enough to leave 1t flat. Such treatment does not involve any serious amount of labor. while it leaves the silk unharmed. If the garment is a large one it can sometimes be held taut by two persons while a third passes the point of the iron over the seams.

TREATMENT OF WALLS

The walls came in for first treatment, and were a weighty consideration, for those who have made even a desultory study of the art of interior decoration will agree that the tones of a wall make or mar the whole room.
 The side walls of the "Pine Tree Den" are covered two-thirds of the distance up with burlap of a rich tobacco-brown color. The remaining third and the cell ing show deep cream moire paper, the dividing line being marked by picture moulding of weathered oak that runs around the four sides of the room This moulding affords an excuse for the dis play of two or three copper plaques and several pieces of pottery that have been selected more with an eye to their col bring and odd shapes than to their mone- tary value. These are ranged on the rail in not too close proximity, for that would have a cheapening effect. Neither a den nor, for that matter, any other room in home should give the impress sion that it is an annex of some museum.
 few choice etchings in frames that In point of color reproduce the darkest tones in the pictures are hung on the walls where they will be most effective. All the woodwork of the room is stained In imitation of weathered oak.
 The floor of the Pine Tree Den" is covered to within two feet of the base board with a Wilton rug of small pat tern worked out in soft greens, the green of the pine tree being the domi- hating tone. The remaining floor space. which is bare, is stained to match the woodwork, and owes it's high polish not 90 much to periodical waxings as to the frequent rubbings it receives with a weighted brush designed for the pur- pose. This brush not only imparts a gloss, but, if regularly and properly ap- piled will in short time render a floor immune from dust tracks.
 Even in the treatment of the windows the color scheme is pleasantly reflected. In the shades the green of the pine tree Is repeated, while the draperies, of deep scru madras cloth though not repro auction of the wall tones-which would nave risked monotony-blend perfectly with them. These inner draperies hang In straight. graceful folds, escaping the floor by two inches. Aside from the fact that 1t lends itself so admirably to deco rative purposes. madras is especially adapted for curtains for several reasons: It is inexpensive, durable. and will laurl- der beautifully. It may be obtained in many plain colors, as we'll as in dainty patterns.

Tree Den' takes the form Of frieze running just beneath the ornament rail. the motifs done in pine tree green and peat," as designers would call 1t, ap- pears on the ends and front side of the box window seat; also across the bottom of the madras curtains. On the side of the curtains the motifs form a single line, the top of each almost touching the bottom of the one directly above it. The screen, which is reproduced in the accompanying illustration, shows the effect produced by using the pine cone in combination with the tree motif This is further demonstrated in the sofa cushion cover of deep cream denim.
 It isa now possible to obtain very at- tractive ready-made stencils When, however, one takes advantage of this opportunity it is at the sacrifice of in- dividuality and originality. which are the chief charms of this mode of decora- tion.
 Then, too, when once the drawing is made-and few girls in this day of pub lie school instruction in drawing but can preparation of the stencil Is a purely mechanical process.
 The materials required are a stencil board and stencil knife or very sharp penknjfe.
 More often than not, outside of a large city, it is next to impossible to get the regular stencil board. When this is the case a very satisfactory sub- stitute may be prepared in the following manner. Coat both sides of very heavy manila wrapping paper, to which the design has been transferred, with as much linseed oil as it will absorb. Then press for twenty-four hours under heavy weight. or until it lies perfectly fiat. It is then ready to be cut. This is best accomplished, both with the regular stencil board and the prepared. in this manner:

HER. PINE TREE
 DEN
By Ruth Virden Mcgee

T is, perhaps. in the furnishing of her
 den more than in any other one way
 that the test Is put upon a girls in-
 nate good taste and artistic nature. Such a room, if it is to be as cozy and charming as its name implies, requires that a distinctive note shall not only be struck, but shall be maintained in the most trifiing details. with. moreover. such delicacy in combination and effect that the effort to obtain this perfection shall not be apparent to the eye. Nor does this necessitate the lavish expendi- ture of money, but rather the wise in- vestment of time and thought.
 Harmony of color and form is the first corsidefation. This fundamental truth the owner and originator of the Pine Tree Den" understood perfectly well. and she has put it into practical application, with results of which she has reason to be proud.
 Having decided upon the motif for the decoration of her den, the next impor- tant point was to settle upon a color scheme that would form a harmonious background for the evolution of her idea. After due deliberation and com parison she chose tobacco-brown in its varying shades. and green. the green of the sturdy pine She then set about planning the combination of colors in the most artistic blendings.

When Wellington's work on rail- road location first appeared, thirty years ago, and even at the time of the revision of 1887, the structure and equipment of railroads were al- together of an order that has passed away, says writer in the Engineer ing Magazine. The general adop- tion of the heavy steel rail, and the introduction of steel and concrete bridges, have brought new type of track, whose strength is greater than he could have foreseen. The air brake, the automatic coupler. heavier equipment, and the tonnage rating, have given a larger unit of load than he had the opportunity to observe. or could have prophesied. Traffic is denser and the cost per ton mile of haul is less than 1t was. Finally, on top of the change in all the physical elements of the situation, the fall in rate of interest has altered the rela- tion between carrying cost of new investment and prospective decrease in operating expenses to be secured therefrom. In all respects, there fore, the terms of the railway better ment problem need restatement.

That there was a hundred million dollars on deposit in one institution of its kind in New York city, the Bowery Savings bank, at the close of business recently, caused appas- ent surprise in some quarters. As a matter of fact, in view of continued prosperity and the fact that the speculative fever which moved so many during the past year or two to invest in New York suburban real es- tate in a small way has subsided. 1t Is not surprising at all. The deposits in the same bank last year were within two and a half millions of the sum named. and for the reasons given the deposits of this year might have been expected to total over the hundred million. as the Bowery is an old and trusted institution. More over. it is one of the eleven out of nineteen or twenty in Manhattan which has continued to pay per cent interest, while the rest have paid but sls per cent. There are now about $500. .0OO.O on deposit in the savings banks of Manhattan. and the Emigrant Industrial and Bank for Savings have each nearly as much as the Bovery; and they
 both pay per cent interest.

Have you noticed the auto-face as
 it develops on women who run their
 own autos? asks one writer. It Is an anxious, expectant, yet delighted
 face. It tells of mastery over the machine, and happiness in the obedi- ence of the thing to her control. Mans auto-face is more confident as in it is expressed knowledge of the machinery. It Is clear that the wo- man knows nothing of the machine itself, and doesn't care to know. since 1t is mans business to make it to obey her will, and to repair it when 1t breaks. A homely woman may grow handsome as she runs an auto, while a handsome face may easily become a fright when contort- ed and screwed up to a ten mile an hour anxiety. Then there is the wo- man auto passenger who puts on those ghastly glasses, and ties an veil tightly under her chin, with a careless twist of 1t about her neck. The hat takes on poque shape and the whole thing is like an apparition of death. It would be awful were 1t not for the that there may be a beautiful face and a pair of love-lit eyes somewhere in the grewsome depths. The country is literally oyerrun with auto-faces these days.

President Roosevelt's Province. town speech is source of renewed annoyance and anxiety to the old line, conservative members of his party, who insist that it is an out rageous thing for a republican presi- dent to hamper and harry the men who have always contributed so gen. erously to republican campaign funds, even if they have erected monopolies and practiced extortion on the people. To these men Theo- dore Roosevelt is nothing less than an iconoclast. some go so far as to pronounced him an anarchist, and judged from their point of view per haps he is.
