How to Dress On $100 a Year

It takes the bargain hunter" and the "home dressmaker' combined, but a wo- man possessing the knacl1 of both can dress on $100 year. Mrs. Roosevelt s proclamation that $500 per annum is suf- ficient for a well-gowned woman seemed small enough, but when the $l00-a-year plan is truihed by figures, it can not be denied that some one has tried it and succeeded.
 A representative group of girls got to- gether and compiled the following list, which includes, of course, only actual ne- cessities, the plainest and most substan- tial apparel only being used. No frills and furbelows, no accessories of any kind just clothes. Remember this list is the bargain hunter and the nome dress maker side of it.
 Two pairs walking boots, $6; two pairs low shoes, $4; two pairs short kid gloves, g; one pair long kid gloves, $2; umbrella, $l; underwear, $11; petticoats, $S; tl1ree hats, $16; winter suit, $10; three waists for same, $1l; spring suit, $10; two waists for same, $4; tub suit, $3; two waists for same, $2 and an annual saving of $l0 to- ward raincoat, cloak furs, party frocks, bathrobe and other staples"

Have You a Double Chin

If you happen to own double chin and want to get rid of it, you may easily do so. It takes d little perseverance and patience, but the resfft is assured. The exercise suggested below has been tried and it was not found wanting:
 Stand erect, in military position. Place tine hands lightly on the hips, fingers for ward. Drop the chin slowly on the collar bone; then throw the head back with a quick, even movement that is not jerk, but yet puts all the muscles into quick play. Repeat 10 times. ?. Turn the head quickly to the right till the chin is just over the right shoulder; then back again. Repeat 10 times; then turn the head to the left in the same way. Repeat 10 times. Do not tire the muscles of the neck, but gradually increase the number of exercises daily until you can practice each one about 50 times without after discomfort

Model For School Girl s Frock

For the little miss whose vacation days are now numbered, the absorbing topic for mother and daughter is the school wardrobe. A writer on feminine fash ions suggests a model for one-pece frock, which would make up quite att tractively. She suggests that it be fash toned in jumper style, to be worn dur ing the early autumn days over thin guimpes.
 It does not button down the back nor under the arms, but in a line down each side from the top of the shoulder seam to the hips. The buttons and button holes begin exactly at the joining of the sleeve to the shoulder seam at the top, curve out slightly at the bust, and in again at the waist, going on a diagonal line to the point of the hips.
 This can be done in gingham, cotton voile, or thin woolen materials The dull finished, colored wood buttons should be used

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

When Mrs. Benjamin Guinness, at her palatial home in aristoeratic old Wash ington Square, New York, gave Ven- etian fiesta last winter in honor of the Duchess of Sutherland, it was currently reported that the Duchess had imparted to Mrs. Guinness her desire to meet some of the shining lights in New Yorks up per musical Bohemia and the Marchese di Bosco was asked to arrange matters 1n consequence Lima cavalier was chosen as the stellar attraction.
 Recently in Rome the Duchess herself gave a reception and so pleased had she been with the glimpse of musical Bo- hemia that Cavalieri was again the cyno- sure of all eyes. Among those who were bidden was the Princess df Teano. Now, the Princess is Colonna of Rome-a Colonna di Palinano, one of the very oldest and most time-honored families in Rome. A family which has given to the church five Popes The Princess is lady-n-waiting to Queen Elena, while her father is Prince Assistant to the Papal throne. a position which now obliges him to ignore the royal family of Savoy, although he was at one time gentleman-in- waiting to Queen Margher- ita. With this blood in her veins, the Princess possesses proper pride
 When she arrived at the function to which the Duchess of Sutherland had bdden her, imagine her attitude when she discovered the guest of honor! As all Rome knows Le Cavalien began her career by selling flowers at the doors of theaters and concert halls in Rome.
 The proud Princess was greatly em- barrassed, but promptly recovered her presence of mind and immediately left the house, remarking that she was not accustomed to meet such persons as La Cavalieri. It is said that she received the approval of her aristocratic family, as well as King Edward, who asserted upon being told of the incident that she acted perfectly right.

Household Suggestions

The hanging and framing of pictures is an important matter; in fact, so much so that it is now considered an art. h. dividuality is so clearly expressed in this way that no set of rules or regulations can be given. However, few susges- tions may not be nal apropos, For ln- stance, oil paintings, slightly coiored prints and water colors, should be framed in gilt. Black and white pictures should never be mounted in highly colored mats. For the amateur framer, passe-partout affords a good opportunity for ingenuity
 The newest things from Paris show pale blue mat for photographs, which is most attractive.
 Lamp shades afford an endless field for the selection of colors which is the most important thing in their makeup.
 The color of the shades should har- monize with the walls. Red walls reflect red light best. and green walls are best suited for green shades. Contrasting colors dim the light and make room appear gloomy.
 For camping or outing parties the re- frigerator basket is one of the newest devices In the larger ones complete camping outfit of cooking, serving and eating utensils convenienely arranged may be had, while in the smaller ones compartment for holding ice and another for the edibles is all that it contains.
 Large Dutch spoons are very much in vogue, for the table and forks are also used in the Dutch designs The spoons when used are mostly for decoration, and should be placed around the edge of the centerpiece not more than three being generally used.

pie must have a chronic 'groaeh'" for it seems really unnatural not to be agree able. It is absolutely "mentaf' this con dition that makes a woman feel that she is misunderstood" or has grievance or she has been ill-used, or something of the kind. This unhappy frame of mind should be got rid of, and here is a good sound practical suggestion:
 Get busy.
 Action is the very best cure.
 Fill every hour of the day with inter- ests.
 Acquire a hobby many people speak snghtingly of hobby, but hobby is great thing).
 Throw yourself with enthusiasm into all you do.
 Try to make everybody you meet happy
 Forget that you yourself exist, and the first thing you know you will acquire that wholesome. happy state of mind which is the most beneficial of traits, and it not only makes you agreeable to your self but to all of your friends.

To Wash Vinegar Cruets

Every housewife knows what a trouble task it is to wash the vinegar cruets. Every time particles settle in the bottom of the cruet, and the sediment that ac- eumulates makes an ugly, dark-looking place, which is far from neat.
