NEEDLE and THREAD
Green Walking Costume.
20 XIX

A yellow-green broadcloth directolre
gown. made rather short-waisted, with
long coat sleeves, was trimmed with
square broadcloth covered buttons OF
dress material. The slashed seam at
the right side showed buttons on one
side and silk, uncut, b~uttonholes oppo-
site. A sash of the same color in SILK
was tied around the waist, hmsned
with two small r~osettes at the right
side and the fringed ends fell to the
TOP of the slashed seam. The lncroya-
be collar, lapels and plain cuffs were
trimmed with green satin. The front
of the dress showed a plain square
woke. filed in with a plain linen collar
that fastened at the back, with two
broad ru.1es at the front, one railing
below the upper one. This suit Is men
toned because Of its unusual color and
very simple style which conforms 10
the very latest cut and shows the modl-
fed style of all that could be required
for an ultra-fashionable gown, without
the niece trimmings so often
adopted. 1t could be used for a calling
gown. The hat was a green satin,
trimmed with green, and the gloves
were, white. The two white articles
toned the costume in the most charm
ing manner.

Cold Cream.

\. 1t is a fact that soap does not agree
with every complexion, and the reason
Is not far to seek, since the skin, having
a certain amount of grease in 1t, may be
given an excess by the oil in h oap
whereas if there is insufficient oil In the
cleansing agent the natural lubricant in
the skin becomes dried by the use of
too much alkali.
Either one of two kinds of soap must
be chosen; an alkali for oily complexion,
or a grease for a dry skin. Broadly
these may be narrowed down to cold
cream or borax, either being perfect for
the flesh that requires its properties.
There are persons who declare they
cannot get clean with cold cream. AS a
matter Of fact it is more efficacious than
soap, the sole trouble being that the
soiled cream is not always removed and
the pores then become clogged. There
can be no more perfect cleanliness than
is had by thoroughly going over the
complexion and neck with a large guam
tity of this grease. 1t may be rubbed
in with the finger tips. and after stay
ing on a couple of minutes 1t should be
wiped off with a soft cloth, turning the
muslin frequently that the soiled cream
shall not be rubbed into the pores again.

TWINE HOLDER.

Take a large spool on which baby
ribbon Is wound and insert n each end
of the spool the end of a wire loop.
Hang the spool on the kitchen wall
and use tie small pieces of twine to
wind around it. Fasten The cords with
the weaver's knot, which is quite fiat
when clipped. 1t is surprising howquick-
ly the spool fills with cord taken from
grocery ond store packages, and one
never realizes just how often a string
or cord is needed until the search for
one is an almost endless task. The
co%rd-spool could be fastened on the
pantry door.

A White Closet.

1t was a sensible woman who had
the large closet under the hall stairs
papered in white and the floor covered
with white oilcloth. On the wall were
hung black iron dress hooks which
could easily be found and the most
convenient article in it was an electric
light bulb on a long cord which could
be taken in hand when looking for
boxes packed under the lower stair
steps. These boxes were all white, the
nature of the contents being shown by
a printed label across. one END in black
letters. OVER the door was hung an old
p~ortiere which was hidden by the closet
door, but it kept out considerable dust.
The shelves were painted white and
the books that were stored away were
all wrapped neatly In white paper and
packed in boxes.

She Caught On" to Him.

Dear Miss Don
l am a girl of 10, and last Wednesday
l caught on to a young man of %. Now,
Miss Doom, when I came home my
mother was very much provoked at
me, saying If 1 continued the friend
ship l would have to leave home. He
has also asked me for my company.
I have never had another beau, and
think 1 will like to have one. Please
advise me what to do as soon as you
possibly can. and oblige,
o. gag A PATRON.
Your mother is quite right. Do you
mean that you flirted with him? Let
me tell you that nice girls do not do
this. What do you know of him? A
girl who makes the acquaintance of
strange men by chance Is running all
kinds of risks. / would advise o to
cut him at once. Do not worry about
not having a beau. You'll meet your
fate soon enough.
