THE AMATEUR SKIRTMAKER.

A skirt is harder for the home dress
maker to make than a waist. WhyY
Because a waist, unless it be a strictly
tailored shirt. has a charm of design
or novelty of cut or beauty of trim
ming which divides the honors with the
fit and finish. But the skirt, be it plain
or trimmed, is judged by its cut, hang
and fit; no amount of adornment will
hide deficiencies at these points.
But the home dressmaker need not
hesitate to attempt skirt making If she
will but be cautious and heed a few
simple suggestions.
Never handle a skirt more than is
absolutely necessary.
Keep 1t laid out fiat on the sewing
table as much as possible.
All seams should be carefully basted
with small stitches; always begin at
the top and haste down.
Plaits should always be basted their
entire length, even though they are to
be stitched but part way down, so that
they may be properly pressed.
Use very fine cotton for basting plaits
-15O is none too fine; then. when
pressed, there viii be no imprint Of the

dren who come to the United States

Italian press on the subject of the
Italian women immigrants have at

favor of a central bureau that will
help to relieve the North from the
great pressure of too many immigrants,
while their services are required in
other parts of the country.

THE BRAINS OF PLANTS.
~ HERE are two classes Of plants

hH7 HERE are two classes of plants
which are melted by mans pres
ence to describe certain definite
movements. One class, the sensitive
plants, retract their lefets as we APP
proach them, as if they resented any
attempt at closer intimacy, while the
other class, comprising all those vines
which develop climbing organs called
tendrils, will reach out oward us If
we place our hands in contact with
them, and will even use a finger as a
support to climb upon. We know that
the tendiils win wind just as readily
about a twig or a grass stem, but as
one feels these sensitive strands multi
ply their encircling coils about ones
fingers there almost seems to be estab-
lished between us and the vegetable
world a more intimate relationship than
has never existed before.
Tendrils are indeed capable of ex-
hibiting faculties and going through
evolutions more wonderful perhaps than
many Of us realize. 1t is only after we
have seen them at work, testing with
their sensitive tips the objects they
come in contact with, apparently con-
sidering their suitability as a support
and then accepting or rejecting them,
as the case may belt is only then that
we realize how justly they have been
called the "brains of plant life
The thoroughness with which these
wandering tips explore their surround
ings is illustrated by an instance I OBJ
served IN a grape vine tendril. A cherry
branch, whose leaves had been variously
punctured and scalloped by insects,
hung near the tendril, and a particular
leaf had Just one small hole in its blade.
not over three-sixteenths of an inch in
diameter. So careful had been the eX-
ploration of the leafs surface hat this
one small hole had been discovered by
the tendril, which had thrust itself
nearly three inches through the OPEN
ing. .
The raDidity of motion is also sur
prising, particularly if the tip is stroked
a few times to arouse it's latent powers.
A tendril of the star cucumber SO
treated began to curl about my fingers
in ten seconds. and in one minute a
complete revolution had been made.
This is much more rapid than its move
ments unhastened by friction, for a PEN
ell so hung as to come lightly in contact
with such a tendril was not encircled
until nine minutes had elapsed. These
star cucumber tendrils are exquisitely
sensitive, and so responsive to the soft
est contact that they may be seen
grasping single strands of a spiders
web which had happened to brush

BEAUTIFUL WASH MATERIALS.

The new floral delaines are even pref
tier than those of preceding years, SO
soft n refined are the tones of color.
The striped lawns and mercerized
muslins are equally tempting. Many of
them are trimmed with embroidered
muslin. A champagne-colored mercer
lied muslin has a rather deep tucked
flounce set OF in a band of string-col-
ored guipure. The bodice has bretelles
of the guipure, and the decollete is
edged with similar trimming opening
upon a vest of tucked net and a high
collar Of the guipure left transparent.
A very pretty tucked zephyr in a
small, neat design is in pale reseda

TO FILL UNSIGHTLY
CRACKS in THE FLOOR.

There are three methods of filling
cracks in a floor. First, dissolve one
pound of glue in two gallons of water.
Stir into this enough fine sawdust to
make a thick paste and fill the cracks
with 1t. The paste may be colored to
match the wood.
Second, fill the cracks with putty.
One can make the putty by mixing
whiting and linseed oil together and
kneading it until the paste is smooth.
The putty may also be colored to match
the wood.
Third, soak finely shredded, paper in
water and boil it until it is soft pulp,
and to every two gallons add one pound
of glue. The cracks must be filled solid
and even with the boards.
A varnish may then be applied which
will make the floor practically as good
as hardwood.

HOif6 the Needle and Thread.

White cotton crepe is a s~erviceable
per. 1t can be made rather full If the
fulness is supplied by having numerous
tucks in the waist portion. The wrap
per is made in an empire mode with
the girdle placed below the bust line.
Any dainty trimming in blue or pink
would be pretty. An applique of apple

When altering a blouse for any rea-
son it is a great mistake to move the

ter plan is that Of dropping it backward
instead of forward.

HE LOVES A STRANGER.

Dear Margery Doom:
I love a young lady whom I know
only by sight, and L am very anxious
to meet her, but do not know how 1t
Is to be done, as / am a comparative
stranger in town. She always smiles
at me when we meet on the street.
Please give me your advice as to
whether it would be wrong to go up
and speak to her if it was done in a
gentlemanly way, and oblige,
H. ]. K.
If you owe her you viii wait until
you find some one to introduce YOU. It
is more than likely that she would
greatly resent your speaking to her
without an introduction. She could
hardly deem it a compliment. Perhaps
you will meet some one who knows her
before very long.

the needle up through the material,
her twisting the silk or cotton two or
three times AROUND the needle. Hold
the silk down with the left thumb,
passing the needle back through he
material, as close as possible to the
point whare the stitch started. Hold
the silk firmly all the time until the
Knot is secure.
The size of the knot depends upon the
number of times the silk or cotton is
wound around the needle, and upon the
coarseness of the silk or cotton used.
For street wear there is a good sug-
gestion shown in a dress of heliotrope
wolfe, with the overblouse trimmed with
one inch folds of a darker shade in
heliotrope silk. The blouse is a simple
waist arrangement of wide harness
pieces with a small tucked square bib
effect at the front. the back similarly
finished. The eleven-gored skirt is
trimmed around the bottom with two
bands of heliotrope silk. One piece
heads the hem, while the other is placed
four inches above. On the waist ar
rangement and between the skirt folds
are groups of little slanting pieces of
silk one-eighth of an inch wide and two
and one-half inches long placed in
groups of three to give a decorative
effect between bands.
A small white apron is made with
three pieces. The central portion or
panel is three inches wide at the top
and about seven inches broad at the
hem. Side cores are a tri1e wider.
Each seam is covered with narrow
white lace insertion and a rufle of white
lace trims the edge. 1t can be finished
with very long strings or a bib effect
can be attached. 1t takes m and one
half yards of material for the apron.
Finely dotted white swiss is pretty for
the purpose.
