TRIMMING FOR THE JUMPER.
White Lace and Light Embroideries
Cunninsly Used.

Many of the new cloth frocks de-
signed with jumper bodices show a
tendency to introduce about the neck
and shoulders trimming much dark
er than the tone of the dress material,
but this is combined with quantities
OF white lace and light embroideries
which, of course. are admirably set
off by the dark background of braid
of silk bands. There Is no embell.sh-
ment, no matter how elegant, where
buttons do not fit in nicely, and many
of the most successful decorative
schemes owe much of their merit to
the introduction of various little nov.
elites in the way of buttons.
Nothing Is more effective upon a
dark brown or black dress than a
touch of yellow, and good way to in
troduce little vivid coloring into the
fashionable jumper blouse is to make
little shield for the front, starting
at nothing on each side and gradually
broaden out until the greatest width
Is in the exact center. The sleeve car
ries out the same idea by the intro
duction of little colored embroidery
in the seam just at the wrist, the en-
broidery being carried round the
wrist.

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.

The youthful jokesmith stood In the
august presence of the great editor
With trembling fingers he united the
string around his batch of jokes and
laid them on the editors desk.
Il have brought you some jokes" he
said, with unsteady voice, Would you
care to look them over?"
We have no use whatever for new
jokes" replied the editor grufIly, as he
turned to other work on his desk.
But these" said the young joke
smith, ARE not new. Some of them
are at least 20 years old"
With a Cry of JOY the great editor
grasped the jokesmith's hand, accept
ed the jokes. and handed him a pure

Machine Embroidery Passe.

Hand embroidery and elaborate
hand work of all kinds is still consid.
cred the smartest finish to almost
every style of dress, but, as all hand
sewing naturally increases the ex-
pense of a gown, embroidery is kept
for the most ornate frocks for after.
noon and evening wear. Imitation
or machine-embroidery is decidedly
out of favor at the moment, and this
makes the hand work all the more
popular, for as soon as work can be
we'll initiated in cheap grade it
quickly loses its desirability.

MINISTERS of the Gospel in Wash
IVA ington and in some other places
where Secretary Taft is well known,
aim at him curious criticism. They
say that he does not often attend
church, and that he does not seem to
care for conventional religious forms
and ceremonies. They do not say that
the secretary is irreligious in the
broad sense, but merely that he does
not comply with the usual rule of men
in high public station In the matter Of
attending divine worship regularly
For example, when he was on his way
to Cuba the last time he had to spend
Sunday at Charleston, S. c., where the
old custom of going to church Is rigid

PROCESS KEEPS GARMENTS IN
FRESHNESS.
Fatal Mistake to Allow Lines and
Wrinkles to Show--Proper Way
to Clean and Press Skirts
Wash Frocks.

A clever girl with more taste than
money always puts away her ribbons
and laces to rest. This is not so much
to freshen them, though they are i'm
proved by it, as to have something
which is apparently new to her friends
when she rewears them after their
rest cure"
Nothing induces shabbiness in coats
and gowns more than the lines and
wrinkles which show that they have
been worn and reworn. Walking
creases make a garment old before it
has done 1t duty.
Men know this better than women
and this is why man Is well dressed
with small wardrobe, because every
week or so he makes change Of
suits, sends the suit he has been wear
ing to the tailor and never by any
chance allows a wrinkle to become
fixed in his garments.
Here is plan that has been tried
with success for cleaning and pressing
skirts: Brush them first, then whisk
on with clean brush dampened In
ammonia and warm water. Any stain
can be removed if rubbed out at once
with a mixture of equal parts of am
monia, alcohol and water

Giving Clothes a Rest

After the skirt Is thoroughly clean
ed, brushed and dried lay it on the
pressing table or board, pin each plat
down in its proper fold, cover the skirt
with a piece of dark, wooden goods,
which had been previously dampened,
and then press.

fully and leave the plaits pinned
down until used
To remove dust from silk skirts do
not use brush, but wipe them with
piece Of velveteen, which will not
wear the silk and will remove the dust
much better than a brush.
Silk or ruffled skirts should be fitted
with tapes sewed on the lower ruffies.
by which they can be hung upside
down. This prevents the skirt from
sagging and the ruffle from dropping.
Gown of delicate material should be
put away in long boxes or bureau
drawers, each skirt being folded in the
plaits into which it should fall when
worn. The bodices should be stuffed
with tissue paper, the sleeves and
trimmings filled out with tissue paper
also.
Wash frocks should always be put
away in trunks, boxes or drawers,
whether they have been worn or not,
for in hanging they grow stringy, are
more easily affected by dampness and
lose freshness.
Suits and frocks should be carefully
gone over and mended and repaired
before they are put away for rest.

Try Changing Shoes.

Few women seem to know of the
rest that results from changing the
shoes as soon as one goes indoors.
There are two reasons for resting
power produced by changing the
shoes; one is that in the street are
worn heavier shoes than are required
for the house, the other is that a
slight difference in shaping. permits
the pedal cords and muscles to re-
lax. Shoes for the street should never
be worn indoors any longer than is
necessary to change them.

morning at breakfast he asked his
father what caused the streaks OF fire

great pains, essayed to explain. Paul
listened attentively and apparently
accepted what was told him, but. when

FOR PRESERVATION OF OLD LETTERS

than at the time of receipt. Especially
is this true of those rare letters which
are really literature and which, COM
ing from some persons, really consti-
tute entertaining or valuable essays.
A good way to keep letters is to ar.
range them alphabetically, according
to the writer's name, and those of the
same writer according to date OF re-
ceipt. Then If divided into equal piles
and securely fastened they are always
ready for reference of any sort. It is
best, also, to keep all letters in one
box, as large as may be necessary,
plainly labeled and securely bound.
