MUST BE NO sLoPPlNEss.
Trimness of Shirt Waist Suit Is In
dispensable.

Though the up-to-date girl has
given over the greater part of her day
to frills and furbelows, she is more
strictly tailored than ever in the hours
she devotes to that peculiarly Ameri-
can costume, the shirt waist suit.
And trim, becoming costume it is,
that is, when it is trim. But sloppi-
ness is fatal. Let there be badly
adjusted collar, cuffs that are broken
or not immaculate, the wrong kind of
a tie, above all, gaping waist line,
and the style that often gives the shirt
waist girl more of an air than the
same girl in ball room, is lost
Most objectionable is the waist line
that is not taut. There is no neces-
sity for 1t. Ordinary care effectually
prevents the blouse and skirt slipping
connection.
There are numerous patent arrange
ments for keeping skirt and waist to-
gether; there is also the unfailing one
of hooks and eyes.
After the initial bother of seeing
that every skirt in ones wardrobe IS
supplied with a good-sized hook, an
inch on each side of the middle of the
back, with eyes to correspond on the
blouse, all future trouble is avoided.
If the hips are large and apt to push
the belt up, it is well to add another
hook and eye at each of the under arm
seams. This prevents all possibility
of slipping.
For the girl who hates to sew there
Is rather new invention that gives
the hook and eye effect without needle
and thread Sets of safety pins with
hook and loop can be now bought for
keeping skirts from slipping.

"As It Is with the Milk So Would II
Be with Your Children"

said, in concluding his long discourse,
Allah has sent to you through me, his
faithful servant. Allah bids that each
of you approach this kettle of milk;
he bids that each of you take from the
kettle the milk which you poured into
1t but moment ago. When you shall
have done this, he bids that each OF
you who will. take four husbands, as a
man may take four wives. But" he
continued, as the sparkling of his
eyes increased, Allah bids me say
that if one of you shall take the thou.
sandth part of a drop of the milk
which another has poured into the
kettle, 1t shall be accounted unto you
a theft, and you shall be delivered to
Iblis for eternal punishment"
20 great Abdullah," finally sug.
gested an innocent one in the audi.
ence, I'VE do not know which our milk
is-it is all alike-it is all white and
foamy."
Abdullah sprang to his feet and with
his arms wildly and supernaturally
monstrous, prophetic voice, which
thundered throughout the mosque, the
special revelation from Allah:
''As 1t is with the milk, so would 1t
be with your children" were the few
ineligible words amid the resounding
echoes. "As you can not distinguish
which drop of milk you poured into
the kettle, SO you could not distinguish
the fathers of your children. Trouble
me and Allah no more with your idle
words"
Abdullah's revelation must have met
with Allah's favor, for the Hanifah
sect has increased in numbers and in
all things worldly. Prominent among
its members is Abdul Hamid, the sui.
tan, who, with millions of others
speak reverently Of the good old Saint
Hanifa.

Hints for Those Who Embrolder.

Use a spool for marking scallops.
Take spool and place it on the ma
terial to be marked and mark with
pencil half way around the spool,
then move the spool little and mark
half way around again. Continue In
this way until the entire edge of the
material is marked. Any sized seal.
lops can be made by using larger or
smaller spools. When making large
scallops, which you wish to pad well,
use ordinary candle wick instead of
spending the time, labor, and thread
to pad 1t. In padding initials, or mono.
grams or smaller scallops. use white
darning cotton instead of the embroid.
cry floss, as the work can be done
more quickly and speedily and the
