Some say that the draped skirts are
flounced effects. which some designers
feel have enjoyed fashionable favor
long enough. 1t cannot be denied that
they are adapted to a greater variety
of becoming arrangements than
fiounces, which at their scantiest are
looked upon with distrust by women no
longer slender, though gracefully digni-
fed
Some of the smartest draped effects
are raised at the front, appearing as
if the panel has simply been terminated
at the knees and left unstitched to fall
over 4 deep hem or fold Of decOra
tive fabric or bit of lace. Again the
drapery appears at the side and still
again one sees it falling in point at
the front, perilously close in its re-
semblance to the old-fashioned over
skirt
Those who are perforce compelled to
consider the practicability of a mode
before anything else will find the
stitched draperies both smart and eff
fective. They form self trimmings, or
may be of velvet, moire or even simply
a simulated drapery achieved with
braid in a slightly darker shade than
the material of the gown. Skirts of
cloth falling over petticoats Of taffeta
finished with deep folds Of MORE or
panne are used to embody some very
clover ideas by the leading dressmak-
ers of Paris, and if the coat is of dark
color, as many of the latest tailored
models are, the facing of the mounting
corresponds with the shade of the coat

New York Maa's Tropical Paradise
Mt Lower End Of Florida.
The most southerly mansion on the
mainland Of the United States is being
rapidly pushed to completion by W. j.
Mathewson of LloyGs Neck, r. l., says
the New York World. Several months
ago the newspapers mentioned the de-
parture OF the Mathewsons for Cocoa
nut Grove, Fla, the fact being added
that they were to build new home
there. Mr.. Mathewson "a too modest
to venture any estimate of what the
place will cost him, but an ultimate
outlay of 100000 is conservative 6g-
ure.
The location of Mr.. Mathewson's fif-
teen acres is mile south of the Cocoa
nut Grove post Office, the land being on
either side of the highway. On the
roadway sides are walls Of rock mason
ry, along the top of which pineapples
have been set at regular intervals.
Most of the land will be used for grow
ing fruit. Within n stones throw OF

be able to gather bananas, oranges,

Down one side Of his carriage path
Is q long row of enormous century
plants, that were growing wild there
in such abundance when he bought the
place that he had to destroy them by

shnmnoo REGIME

A good shampoo mixture is made by
scraping an ordinary cake of CASTLE
soap and putting with 1t pint of boil
ing water. Place in an agate saucepan
and let simmer slowly for ten minutes
after the soap is dissolved. Pour into
a wide-mouth jar and cover. When
cold it will be jelly.
To use take two tablespoonfuls and
beat into raw egg. adding half Il cup
Of warm water. Massage the scalp
thoroughly with this and wash in clear
warm water.
An ailing scalp is often best treated
by wetting with olive oil couple of
hours before sEampoolng, when the
CASTLE soap and egg mixture given may
be used with good results.

In his success. He possessed another
quality, however, which is almost, il
not quite, as essential in jury work,
and that Is clearness and simplicity OF
statement. His logical mind
marshaled facts In such orderly Sc

Leave His Card.

A married woman, when paying for
NAL call, always leaves her husbands
card, even though he may not know the
people whom his wife is visiting. Omis-
sion to send his card, however, is
equivalent to saying that he does not
wish to know them, or that his wife
does not wish that he should, so that
even in visit to an unmarried woman
his card should be in evidence.
In calling upon married woman
the visitor always leaves one of hei
cards and two of her husbands, one Of
his being for the hostess and the Other
for the host. AS woman never calls
upon a man, one card of hers is suea
cient.

Hopping Good Exercise.

Hopping is one Of the best exercises
for developing muscles 1t is easy to
do, too, for the movement consists of
jumping first on one foot and then on
the other, so that the whole weight of
the body will be borne by one foot and
leg for one or more minutes. This ex-
arcise improves the way of carrying
the body when walking, for 1t develops
balance as well as muscle. This exer-

and the windows should be open, SO
there will be plenty of fresh air in the
room. While hopping breathe deeply

not differ from the normal eyes in

and exhausted, the men halted for a
rest by the wayside When it became
necessary to move on, the general
gave the order. but the tired men re-
mained stretched upon the ground.
The order was repeated peremptori-
ly Still no motion. BY this time the
temper OF the general was at white
heat. He Numbered out:
