children who wish to join THE STAR

Newark, N. j.
Dear Uncle Jack:
My brothers and / wish to become
members of the star Juvenile HUI
name Society, and would like to have
a badge. We hear so much of it, and
are kind to all dumb animals. My
uncle has a fat horse, who is har
messed to a peddling wagon, and when
he comes to our house my uncle gives
a few apples n carrots; then 1

UYff6 the Needle and Thread.

A corset cover could, of course, be
made on the same principle, although
it is better not to use quite so much
ribbon on one of those minute gar
ments, because 1t shows too much
through the sheer waists of summer.
P~etticoats, however. might be finished
with a ruffle of wide lace and ribbon,
and the effect would be quite magnifi-
cent, particularly If Dresden ribbon be
used.
Especially designed for wear with
the princess dress is a combination suit
of corset II long fiounced petticoat.
1t is needless to say that this garment
is glove fitting and has all the appear-
ance of comfort, as 1t fits snugly to the
form and the long skirt is sufficiently
heavy to weight the corset around the
hips and give the much-desired smooth
ness around the waist and over the
hips. The woman who will wear prin-
cess dresses must have an ample sup
ply of smooth-ftting combination gar
ments, h~ip-confiners, bust-supporters
and a perfectly fitted gown.

and after drying apply a thick coat of
anti-phligistial and bind the place with
a wooden rag. Remove every trace of
it in the morning and apply fresh.
This you will find will help you greatly.
Dear Madame Alta:
l have two Jumps on my back, one
near each shoulder blade. There is
also one small one On my neck. One of
them, the largest, pains when touched.
IT you can give me a remedy for his |
will be grateful. X. Y. u.
Please answer in Thursdays STAR.
l would not attempt to give you a
remedy for our ailment without know
ing what caused it. I would advise
you to consult a physician at once,
since o say the Jumps are painful. 1
would advise you to attend to 1t at
once.
Dear Madame Alta:
Please give me a quick remedy for
getting rid of a fever blister on the
lip, and also a remedy for greasy skin.
DOROTHY K.
Apply spirits of camphor to the bis
ter with a soft bit of linen. Use the
camphor as often as is possible. 1t will
heal the sore very quickly. To remedy
the condition of an oily skin use a 10
ton made as follows:
Boric acid-One dram.
Distilled witch hazel-Four ounces.
Apply with a piece of old linen. This
will cure the most aggravated cases of
oily skin.

Over $4,000 changed hands in the

are. The spirit of the sport is felt by
the officers, and while they do not bet

the crews, they nevertheless wager
large sums among themselves.
