Dress Up.fO.Date.

able than a stately brocade or satin
which will stand alone. In fact, the
very fllmy, clinging fabric which
seems practically without body, over
laid with fine stitchery In which not a
line of machine work is shown, is the
correct thing for present day needs.
There is much talk about simple ef-
fects in 1908 frocks, but the simplicity
is hard to find. To be sure, the lines
themselves are simple enough.
Skirts to all intents are plain, often
absolutely devoid of trimming, but the
blouses and wraps make up for the Sc
verify of the skirts. Neither is there
any simplicity to be noted in the trim
mings used, which are trimmings upon
trimmings, embroidery upon lace, or
even lace upon lace.
One of the needle-work fads which
gives most pleasing effects Is that of
touching up laces with a bit of deli
cately tinted hand embroidery. An in
expensive imitation cluny or filet lace
can be made charming by embroider-
ing over part of the pattern in color
or doing a stamped pattern upon the
lace.
Hours can be spent in simply hand
running tucks, shocking or rose-shir-
ring fine nets, chiffon, marquisette and
similar soft materials for house frocks.
Nothing so certainly stamps frock as
cheap like machine stitchery on soft,
chinging fabric.
Another feature of up-to-date sewing
is the application of lace medallions,
or the combination OF embroidered
medallions with lace insertions.
Done by machine this always has a
factory look, even II made at home.
Almost invariably the stitchery will
draw and prevent the perfect adjust
ments of skirt or bertha or sleeve.
The blouse displayed in our illustra-
tion suggests an excellent use of short
lengths in lace or embroidery. In the
model a very soft messaline In sill
very-gray was used, the tucks below
the shaped yoke being run by hand.
The yoke was made from strips of
novelty lace, in cluny design, with the
flowers worked over in silver grays,
blues and green, Joined by German
val insertion. 1t will be noted that
the insertion employed in the yoke
runs down the upper portions of the
sleeves, very good effect.

WONDERED WHY
Found the Answer Was "Coffee."

Many pale, sickly persons wonder
for years why they have to suffer so,
and eventually discover that the drug

Of the trouble.

and drank it every day. 1 never had

I was always SO pale, thin and weak.
About five years ago my health
completely broke down and was con-

in such condition that I could hardly
take sufficient nourishment to sustain
life.
During this time I was drinking
coffee, didn't think I could do with
out it.

clusion that coffee was hurting me,
and decided to give 1t up and try

Pointers Picked Up by the Exercise
of Observation.

There is something to be learned in
every house we enter, some valuable
bit of information to be cleaned from
nearly everybody we meet At musi-
cal one day l was served with ice
cream which was entirely new to me,
and later l learned that 1t was the
sauce which gave the touch of orig
inality, as the cream was the old
standby, vanilla. Homemade pre-
serves, blueberries, were poured over
the cream, giving an air of unfamiliari
licious flavor. l have used the hint
to good advantage, substituting rasp-
berries, strawberries, pineapple, black
berries and peaches-preserved and
fresh-for the blueberries, and on one
occasion using maple sirup with
chopped nut meats.
At another house was introduced
to a milk sherbet, called "one. two,
three" sherbet by the hostess because
It was easier to remember by numerals.
One quart of milk, two cups of sugar
and the Juice of three lemons were
poured into the freezer and came out
delicious dessert, despite the tendency
to curdle. The freezing smoothed the
mixture.

PROPER CARE OF THE SICK
Few Simple Rules Amateur Nurse
Should Remember.

Never whisper in a sickroom. Talk
In low tone, but distinctly, SO that
your patient can understand every
word spoken. Nothing is so irritating
to a sick person as hearing voices
without being able to comprehend the
subject under discussion.
Never shovel coal from hod in the
sick chamber Bring the coal in
wrapped in paper, and lay paper and
all on the fire. This will prevent
both noise and dust.
Never air a room without first GOV,
ering the patient.
Never fiirt the sheets when making
the bed so that the patient sitting near
will catch the eddy of dust that al.
ways follows such an action.
Never under any circumstances tell
a patient that he is dangerously ILL.,
Use the word seriously" If 1t is alb.
solutely necessary that he should be
warned of his condition. Suggestion
is frequently more powerful than med.
icine, especially with hysterical peo-
pie.
Never sit on the edge of a sick per
sons bed, and do not place your
chair so that he must strain his eyes
or turn his head In order to see you.
Get directly in the range of his vision
when his head is comfortably placed
on the pillow, and stay there.
Never tell stories OF other peoples
illnesses or hard luck to the sick per

The Sort of rhlnq He Liked.

In an early day in Stone county,
Missouri, a farmers boy rushed into
the office of DR.. T. ]. McCord of Ga
lena and urged the doctor to come
quickly to see his father, who seemed
to be dying. Said the doctor What
ails him, and what has he eaten?"
The boy said: "Oh, nothing much
but IA roastin' ears for supper"
WELL" said the doctor, lust go
back and throw him a couple of
bundles of oats and tell him l will be

IT SEEMED INcuRABLE
Body Raw with Eczema-DIscharged
from Hospitals as Hopeless-cutl-
cura Remedies Cured Him.

From the age of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema in its
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part Of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
Of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as in
curable. We kept trying remedy
after remedy, but had gotten almost
past hoping for cure. Six months
ago we purchased a set of Cuticura
Remedies. The result was truly mar
velous and to-day he is perfectly cured.

OLE MIS- MOON WITH THEM.
No Chance of the Visitors Being
Homesick in the City.

Nine. Fairfax was wont to stand on
the porch of her old Virginia home
and rejoice on moonlight nights in the
beauty, says the Youths Companion.
There's my moon," she would say,
as it rose from behind the eastern
hills. Look, Dahlia, see how beauti-
'ul 1t is," and her tiny colored maid,
who was ever at hand with shawl or
tan for her beloved mistress, would
answer, enthusiastically: Your moon
certainly do look pow'ful handsome
tonight"
When Nine. Fairfax journeyed to
the city to visit her son, Dahlia, look
ing out of the window with wondering
eyes on the first evening of her life
away from home, exclaimed, in a voice
of mingled astonishment and relief:
Well, l declar' to goodness, If ole

can't be homesick nohow, wifi ole Mis-
Moon shining on u.s."

Massage Refreshes Nerves.

Nothing so speedily eliminates the
feeling OF fatigue as massage. Skill
fully done, 1t will work wonders on the
skin, smoothing out wrinkles and fill
ing in hollows of the cheeks and
throat. The average skin needs q
thorough massage once a month and
the dry skin should be massaged
oftener than that, weekly, in fact, for
the oil Of the cream will work into
the skin and take the place of the
natural oil which is lacking. The
skillful manipulation Of a clever mas
seuse will be found amazingly sooth-
Ing to nervous mental condition.
