True Critn ..sm Of
 Singers Helpful

Too frequently the criticism received py singers in their home town is sugar coated, whereas plain truth were bet- ter, and however bitter to the tasta at frst, in tn eend 1t acts as a tonic to those Who really wish to improve and Who genuinely seek knowledge.
 Those who are never told about their weak points and are constantly prais- ed Tor their good ones are pretty apt to remain ignorant of their faults The awakening comes however. ineyi- tably but with many the poignancy of disappointment completely discourages and they give up the struggle. Some conclude that they have been harshly dealt with and that the fault is not with them, but lies in the imagination of some carp,ng critic.
 Those singers who listen to truth with the ear of conviction, and with courage, patience and persistence buc- kle down to the real business of de- termining how to sing with real are tistic merit, will ultimately arrive.
 The original sin lies usually with we'll meaning but misguided friends, who praise when the should blame. Friends more than any one else him der us on the road, to Improvement.

UP TO DATE HAPPENS.

Time was when women fastened staid bonnets on their simply coiffed hair with hatpins-just pins with small black knobs on the end-no ornamen- tation about them.
 Now things are different. Some ciev- CT person designed few pins with fancy tops-small gilt balls, lovers knots and other simple devices. But the hats grew and grew in size; the arrangement of the hair grew and grew in splendor, and now a woman pins her platter hat to her curls and marcelled pompadour by long spikes with heads the same size as the old fashioned butter plates.
 The newest pins, just arrived from Paris, have round heads two inches in diameter The center of the circle is an iaiitation of some seni-prociuus stone-.lrquoise matrix, malachtts, jade. amcthyst-and around the enor- nous tcwsl Is border of silver-Silt filigree.

THE VELVET COLLAR.

Now that fashion again advocates strictly tailor-made gowns to have vel- vet collars on the coats, the question arises how to keep the dark outside collar from rubbing off on the neck of the blouse worn beneath 1t.
 No matter how good quality is purchased, velvet will always leave a soiled mark on any light fabric 1t comes in contact with and many wo- man is known to wiring her hands in despair at the sight of a dainty waist immediately fresh except for dirty line across the neck.
 To prevent this wipe off the velvet thoroughly with soft cloth slightly moist, then rub with a rag saturated in pure alcohol. This done once a week regularly will prevent the velvet from "frocking" and collars will not be soil ed in the back.

INDIVIDUALITY
 IS THE THING

The day is here when individuality in dress is the thing, and slavish fol- lowing of fashion because it is the fashion and for no other reason is only for the woman without taste enough to formulate a plan for her self or money enough to pay design CT to do it for her Fashion has given long rein to womandom this season, and the result is hard on the fashion writer who would reduce the styles to classification. Not one, but a dozen types. are setting the pace of the modes. And not one of them is fol- lowed closely enough to be distin- guished by an ancient who lived in the day of its first manifestation.
 Not history alone but the world has been searched for colors, fabrics, nee 1lework and for ideas for gown and coat shapes. The Bedoun of the des- ert has lent the pattern for his long loose coat with it's draped hood to milady for her. theater wrap. and the Chinese mandarin has given up his elaborately embroidered silk coat bod
 
 tenegro, because, perchance. one act l of a popular play exploited it's tradi- tional bizarre colors. is furnishing col or schemes for audacious toilets. la. pan is lending not characteristic shapes and colors only, but patterns and designs for the choicest fabrics All the wealth of Perian and East In. dian design and eolors are beins brought in the next textures for the coming season. The Spanish mantills has had its adherents ever since tht royal wedding two years ago, and ev. cry beauty of the French kingdom ant empire has been studied in portrai
 and story for suggestions for moderr costumes. Whatever else is accom- plished, the world of time and distance is made one as it never was before b,
 mutual human needs and tastes.

CARE OF TAN SHOES.

Often the binding of ones dress will leave a dirty black mark across the instep of dainty tan boots and this sim ply refuses to be cleaned with the or- dinary tan polishes. The shoes can he washed, but the rag must be merely damped and rubbed on naphtha soap or any yellow soap, and all of the leather must be washed off. Rinse the cloth and wipe the shoes and rub dry with an old towel The will be clean and lusterless. Apply good tan poll ish and rub vigorously with d piece of old cotton stocking top, If care is talk en not to dampen the shoes too much they can he cleaned and made to look like new. but all parts should be'wash- ed or stains will show.

AN APRON WORKBAG.

A clever little workbag that IS used as an apron Is made with pink printed lawn. The bag is about as large Hs a good sized handkerchief and IS made perfectly square with a drawstring about one inch from the upper edge. A square the exact size of the bag IS sewed on the inside, just below the beading This makes the length of the apron It is finished at the top with a few gathers made with lace insertion and a tiny wash ribbon. This upper flap is slipped into the bag. the draw strings are drawn and there is the lit- tie workbag which certainly has no appearance of once being a workbag apron. It would be pretty to make one of these with white lawn, trim with lace insertion and pink ribbons.

For covered scrap basket cut eight pieces of cardboard in any de- sired shapes which. when joined, will form an octagon-shaped receptacle. A good shape is one that Is rounded at the top and slopes gradually at the bottom until the bottom of the bask- ct is not much larger than dinner plate. Cover each piece with pale blue linen Around the top fasten 8 cover that closes in the middle with a rubber drawstring. Band the box through the middle with a wide band of Persian ribbon-the cotton variety will do. A basket of this kind is use ful to catch small sewing scraps, for they cannot get out of the basket.

DAINTY LINGERIE TRIMMING

Instead of using cheap lace on lin- i, gerie frocks, and underwear 1t will be very simple and effective to trim with little frills of cheer lawn or dimity. l The contrast between the texture of . this goods and the nainsook or long, 1; cloth of the undergarment will make 1, it more attractive. If these little ruff fies are used they must be made we'll to be pretty. The gathers must be per- fectly arranged, "stroking the gath ers," this used to be called. This is done by placing the needle in the fold of every stitch and running it rapidly down, thus laying a little plait for each gather. The gathering stitcheSI should be only half as long on the un- der side as on the upper and care must be taken to keep the stitches on either side alike in length.

Matters of Interest to Women
WHICH IS YOURS?

If the nose is sharp and turns down. ward. it indicates keen business abili- ty and a tendency to be both miserly and sharp-tongued.
 A long, straight nose shows a tran uuil. reserved nature; and a short nose. a propensity to quarrel combined with an inborn love of a good time.
 The nose that is too deeply indent- ed at the root shows lack of courage and decision, while 9 nose sloping di- rectly out from the forehead, with no such mark between the eyes, indicates a strong sense of power
 Let such a nose show slight in- dentation, however, and it will be a capable self-relianL sort of girl, who does everything well and makes no fuss about it.

SMART NECKWEAR.

Lingerie jabots, rabats. frills, ties and bows are used alike on linen and silk tailored waists, and add consid- erable smartness to simple cloth suits. They are of fine muslin, lace edged, and not nearly so perihable as they look, for some clever amateurs con- trive to launder them without wholly ripping them apart With coats having waistcoats the long frills and jahits may be worn outside the wrap. which with the addition of embroidered linen collar and cuffs. plumed hat and fresh gloves, will make the costume quite as smart as many of the more elaborate semi-tailor-

When sewing the two raw edges of fine lace together, like the tiny lace ruffle on lingerie blouses or dresses, do not fell it in the old ld-fashioned way but place the two right sides together and bind the edge with the finest thread, making a buttonhole stitch along the edge. Put a stitch in each mesh, and you will have neat lace seam which, when pressed, can scarcely be observed, and it will not fray.

A good solution for waving straight hair is the white of an egg mixed with an equal amount of rose wa ter and a few drops of some fragrant perfume Then the hair should be slightly shampooed with the mixture before wrapping around the curriers'.
