The jacket has altogether replaced
the bolerO. The latter's death knell
was sounded long ago. Nothing was
prettier or more coquettlsh than the
bolero. and nothing ever enjoyed more
popularity In the world of dress. That
was proved by its long life; women re-
fused to have their couturiers make
anything else for them. For five years
it influenced Paris cuts. That is long
time, for even when things are known
as a great success they rarely do more
than lapse from one season into

In Making Up Flannel.

When making up fiannel garments
for little child it is an excellent plan
to first of all wash the piece of flannel
before cutting out the garment. Near
ly all flannel-even the very best makes
has an unpleasant knack of shrink
ing, and it is exceedingly annoying
after the trouble Of making up to find
that the garment has shrunk and be-
come too tight after a very few visits
to the washtub. In any case it is wise
to make a flannel garment loose, to
allow for any such contingency.

Faith i'm Womankind.

One of the magazines is setting forth
feminine failures. why American
Marriages Fair and why American
Mothers Fail" have been the questions
thus FAR discussed. The titles beg the
question. Every one who keeps his
eyes open and who is not hopeless
pesSimist knows that only a small pro
portion of American women do fail as
wives or mothers.
That the failures are much in the
popular eye is true. The woman OF
fashion and the woman in public life
court attention, and both are some
times conspicuous for their lack of the
virtues on which the family rests.
There is n third class of women equally
selfish-the women who live in hotels
by preference, and who regard their
husbands as the mere makers of money
for their easy spending. All three of
these classes put together make total
sides of city streets and country roads
live thousands of strong, tender, wise
women, who are working at their tasks
with courage and intelligence. From
the writer's window can be seen the
windows of not less than five homes
within which are growing up families
of children, all trained to ways Of cOur-
tesy, industry, patriotism, reverence.
The overdressed child Of 6, alone in
a hotel dining-room, ordering "deviled
crabs and pink ice-cream" for dinner,
is truly an awful warning. The need
for wise mothering is so great that it
is well that our voices should cry aloud
and spare not in the demand for it.
The dignity of motherhood and the
glory of patriotism ought to be made
clear to every soul in our country.
Meantime we must not be tempted,
even for rhetorical effect, into disre-
gard of the great throng Of wise wives
and mothers who stream steadily along
the ways of American life, making
cheer and leaving noble memories be-
hind them as they go.--YoIIth's Com

exclaims. Life is nothing Of the kind.
Life is rarely too short TO accomplish
what we really want TO do; but its
brevity is an excuse to cover our lazi-
ness and our sins. The people who
have nothing to do never find time to
do anything OF value to any one; but
the really busy people bring so much
order and method into their lives they
find time to accomplish practically ev-
erything they want. In cities it is GER
tainly difficult to make calls at long
distances ON particular days, but even
that can be accomplished, and should
be at least once a year.

This design is especially recommend
ed either for cloth or linen, the model
being Of white chiffon broadcloth,
trimmed with white cloth buttons and
narrow black rims and black and white
satin as finish about the guimps. The
skirt is very odd in its arrangement
of buttons and simulated buttonholes,
which open over a narrow front panel
in the center of the front The skirt
was made with a sweep all around and
a decided train, and was finished about
the bottom with deep hem and rows
of machine stitching. The bodice had
a "form" of the broadcloth, tandem
broidered in simple design, and piped
with the cloth, and there was a little
buttoned vest over a chemisette Of lace.

Danger I'm Flowers.

Several cases of serious heart failure
due to the presence of hyacinths in liv-

The latest instance was that Of a
healthy young girl in Bromley, Kent,
England, who after sitting for a couple
of hours i'm a room In which there We're

feel somewhat faint. Two hours later,
after she had gone home. she fell into
deep sleep. Her doctor stated that
the defective heart action, leading to
the insufficient supply Of blood on the
brain, which caused the fainting, was
due to the effect of the hyacinth scent

action.

Waxed Floors.

In the long run it pays better to have
the floor waxed than painted. Rewax-
ing floor is an easier task than hav-
ing it reprinted or reyarnished. Worn
spots can be waxed, but if the floor
has been painted or vanished, and
worn spots appear, the entire floor
must be scraped and revarnished or
reprinted, or the floor will have a
blOtched appearance.
