The old system OF ''oiling roads and

for moderate Improvement OF some

system OF making roads with oil" Is
proving success whenever proper
methods are pursued.
The oil and natural soil no longer
go where real results are wanted.
The use OF the heavy ten 20 eleven

general. Its superiority has been well

fine quality of silesia costing 80 cents
a yard is most satisfactory, although
percaine will probably answer the
purpose quite as well and will be less
expensive. It would be good plan, II
a pattern has to be bought, to BUY
one Of plain wrapper and with the
aid of this pattern ii should be possible
to copy almost any kind of a one piece

new pattern for every garment made
And if one feels timid about trying

be time well spent to use some Ole
cloth or tissue paper and get the idea
right with that. 1t gives one feeling
of satisfaction to be able to copy the
pretty clothes so often seen, either on
people, in the stores, or IN magazine
or papers.
In using a plain or any ether kind OF
a pattern one most important point
must be borne in mind. When a Sec
ton of the wrapper is laid on the ma

cut the lower edge of the armhole
and the bottom and front edge OF the
skirt part will both touch the selvage
edge. if the skirt part at the bot

new line from the hip to the bottom,
making the bottom touch the selVage'
This applies to the front at the under
arm, the underarm piece, and the side
pieces on their front edges. The rea-
son Is cores will hang towards the
front instead Of towards the back, as
they should, If this is not done. If the
cores are not wide enough across the
bottom add the necessary width TO the
back edges.
One pretty wrapper Is shown which
could answer the purpose OF a tea
gown. 1t would be lovely made of q
Japanese crepe in warm, rich reds
with the front of plain red mousse
line or soft silk. A sort Of double ruf
fle finishes the neck, put on in such
manner as to form little bolero. This
wrapper could be entirely made of the
crepe, excepting the ruffles.

HOW TO GET PINK CHEEKS.
Staying Much in the Open Air Is the
Best Recipe.

Red cheeks are at the command OF
every woman, but few understand this.
Few women are naturally pale.
We sometimes redden the cheeks by
quick methods which bring results
that are most satisfactory. We slap
the cheeks vigorously, three or four
spats with the palm of the hand, and
the cheeks will glow for long time.
We advise early rising whenever
possible because there is nipping
eagerness about the early morning air
which acts like a brisk rubbing upon
the face. 1t bites and makes the
cheeks glow pink
A good walk in sharp air will pol.
ish the cheeks into redness as though
one had rubbed them with a rough
cloth and pinched them with the fin
gers.
Food has a great deal to do with
red cheeks. Foods that are highly
spiced and stimulating will make a
woman pale. Foods that manufacture
blood will make a woman red IN the
face, but she must be careful not to
partake too freely of them.
Staying out in the open air, If one
is in good health, will give woman
red cheeks. 1t reddens the cheeks OF
a child and it will redden the cheeks
of woman Outdoor air, open-air
sleeping and walking in the wind will
make the cheeks red

Coverlets that are as entertaining
as toys are among the novelties offered
for baby's crib or bassinet. These
quaint elder or wool comfortables may
be bought ready to use or they may be
made very easily at home. The foun-

and sewn fiat on the coverlet, the
idea has evidently been suggested by
the nursery decorations now in vogue
There is no rule to follow in placing

Wells Used Over Costumes.

The fashion for yelling is a most
pronounced fad.
An exquisite evening coat Of dull
green satin had a hand-painted border
II inches deep around the bottom. The
whole was completely yelled by an
overdrapery of black chiffon set on in
full folds, edged down the fronts with
a three-inch band of black baby lamb.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work com.
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that tho
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years IN
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc.
culiar ills, more potent and efica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. st.
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
.of other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years l had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms of female ills,
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times ]
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.

wraps are trimmed while in many of
even the most delicately colored wraps
the lining is apt to be in contrasting
