advantage the possibilities of this fine
and soft drap souple, chosen in a beau
tiful shade of vieux rose, and carried
ont in a novel style, the simplicity of
which is one of it's chief charms. The
full skirt is made In a sensible length
for walking, with a lounce at the hem,
innocent of any kline of trimming. but
arranged in such a way that it gives
the effect of a double skirt, a result
which seems to be greatly desired at
the moment.
The long coal fits quite closely to the
figure, and is bordered throughout with
something novel and effective in the
way of a trimming, which consists Of
a band of chiffon velvet i'm a darker
shade of vieux rose. This is outlined
in it's turn with small balls, covered
with silk netting. The high Napoleon
collar. made entirely in velvet, will be
found most becoming. and so will the
eascaded jabot of white tulle, bordered
with fine flet lace. Another novel fea-
ture of this costume is the very long
waistcoat of ivory-white satin, brought
down to a point in front, and bordered
with silver gallon.

Dear Madame Alta:

Dear Madame Alta:
VIII you favor me greatly by answer
ing my question in THE EVENING
STAR. I am an interested reader of
your paper, and especially of your col
umn, and would like to know ome
thing good to make my hands and
arms white. L have to use them in
water a great deal, and they are very
red. A friend of mine advised me to
use glycerine and lemon juice, which 1
did, without good results. On the con-
trary, it produced a growth of hair. So
1 would like you to tell me something
harmless to take the hair off.
Hoping you will answer my ques-
tions in your column, and oblige,
NJ. A. S.
Their is nothing better than the gly-
cerine treatment to whiten the hands,
but it should be diluted with rose wa
ter to allay the tendency to make the
skin red. Have your druggist prepare
equal parts of glycerine and rose wa
ter, to which should be added fifteen
drops of carbolic acid to the fluid
ounce. Wash and dry the hands care
fully and apply the lotion, which 1 am
sure will have the desired results. The
growth of hair is due to the use of

oContinucd from Yesterday

Neither dog nor cat nor monkey
nor any creature that we are familiar
with. l have tried to reconstruct it
from the measurements. Here are four
prints where the beast has been stand
ing motionless. You see that it is no
less than fifteen inches from fore foot
to hind. Add to that the length of
not much less than two feet long
probably more if there is any tail. But
now observe this other measurement.
The animal has been moving, and we
have the length of its stride. In each
case it is only about three inches. You
have an indication, you see, of a long
body with very short legs attached to
it. It has not been considerate enough
to leave any of its hair behind it. But
its general shape must be what l have
indicated, and it can run up a curtain,
and it is carnivorous."
"How do you deduce that?"
Because it ran up the curtain. A
canary's cage was hanging in the win
dow, and its aim seems TO have been
to get at the Bird
'"Then what was the beast?"
"Ah, if 1 could give it a name it
might go a long way towards solving
the case. On the whole. it was prob
ably some creature of the weasel and
stoat tribe-and yet it is larger than
any Of these that 1 have seen"
But what had it to do with the
crime?"
"That, also, is still obscure. But we
have learned a good deal, you perceive.
We know that a man stood in the road
looking at the quarrel between the
B~arclays-the blinds were up and the
room lighted. We know, also, that he
ran across the lawn. entered the room
accompanied by a strange animal, and
that he either struck the colonel or, as
is equally possible. that the colone
fell down from sheer fright at the sigh
of him, and cut his head OF the cor
ner of the fender. Finally, we have

A Friend in the Hospital.

Dear Miss Doon-I am a young girl
and would like to know if it is proper
for me to visit a gentleman in a hos
pital. He asked me to go to see him
before he left. Also, would it be proper
to write to him? A friend of my brother
has asked me to go out with him sew
eral times to dances, and 1 have re-
fused. as l thought / was too young.
Was / right? ANXIOUS.
Why not have an older person ac-
company you when you visit your
friend in the hospital? Then one
could object. There would be nothing
improper about writing him a note.
You are very sensible to refuse your
other friends invitations to .lances, as
you are decidedly too young to go.

of pretty ribbon round the centre of the
waters, and leave it for the icing to set.
Meanwhile, strain off the liquid from
the fruit, whisk the cream, stir the
fruits gently into it (see that it is nicely
sweetened): then. just before serving,
put it in the wafer-case. heaping it up
well, pipe a little whipped cream on the
top and a pretty edging of royal icing
round the waters; decorate the top of
the cream with the rose petals. Unless
these are left till the last the color is
inclined to run, and would. of course,

A memory logger will appeal to the
woman of many duties whose memory
so often fails her. 1t is simply a mem
orandum book with a removable cover
of tan art denim, a material much in
vogue now for fancy work articles that
must be Iaundered. The word memo
randum is outlined in wash floss across
the cover of the book. A cord and
pencil complete this useful little nov
city. AS the cover is both removable
and washable, it will answer for a sue
cessive number of books.
For covers on bedroom tables there
are clean-looking art denims in deli
cate blues and green's. Such covers
are decorated with appliques cut from
figured c%retonne. the dominant color of
the design matching the foundation
color. The appliques, which are shaped
simulate crescents, diamonds, cir
cles and triangles, are neatly bound
around the edges and stitched on the
machine.
Some of the newest art ~cretonnes
are decorated with stenciled design eff
fects. The colors are so nicely blended
and the design so accurate that only
close inspection reveals the fact that
it is not hand work. These %cretonnes
make beautiful pillow covers, and are
very effective for draperies.

AN ADMIRER OF YOUR PAPER?
The white marks and ridges are no
doubt the result of the use Of steel i'm
plements. To obtain good results never
use a scissors on the nails except to
snaps the corners. The shaping should
be done with a fine velvet file, and
the cuticle gently pushed back with a
flat-pointed orange wood stick. Never
scrape the nails with the edge of your
file to make them smooth, as some
people do; the ridges and white spots
are usually the result. To obtain a
smooth surface use a chamois buffer
which has been dipped in a powder
made of equal parts of pulverized
pumice stone and French chalk. This
will produce a natural polish.

If you worry yourself to death

ing II creates, such as sickness, pow
erty, disappointment and loss of
good looks, and can only boast of
warped disposition. All these con-
ditions keep off the good things that
might be yours for the taking.
In this great plan of creation it is
certain that every man has a place ;
and If we are not in it and fulfilling
the obligations it requires, no matter
how hard, whose fault is IT'D We
surely cannot blame the fact upon
the Creator, for humanity should be
constantly begging His pardon fol
misunderstanding him so frequently
as il does.
No, il is a lack Of mental activity
and desire to dodge our mora
responsibilities; We should put oul
finger on our lips and remember
that once we are given dominion
over the things of this earth, our
selves to be only a little lower thar
the angles. What has become of tn,
