Foundation Skirt.

AS the present fashions demand a
svelte figure, with small, gracefully
sloping hips, a great deal can be done
to produce the desired effect by a
most careful fitting of the foundation
skirt. If ones hips are too large it is
we'll to carefully avoid all possible &C
emulation of cloth below the waist
line. To this end, skirts may be made
to button on to the chemise or to the
bottom of the corset. This does away
with any but the most necessary layer
of garment at this part of the figure
To obtain the desired fullness at the
bottom of the skirt, a four or five inch
dust ruff1e should be attached to the
bottom of the skirt. Over this should
be q deep founce, which reaches to a
point just below the knee. The f1ounce
should be mediumly full

Handkerchief.

Possibly the English women and
those of France love the colored hand
kerchiefs more than Americans. Amer
lean women will wear the colored ones
with tailored frocks, but leave them
severely alone for other purposes.
Where one does not care to have COL
ored one of solid effect, there are some
styles in white showing barred lines
of mauve, brown, purple. red and blue
outlines. There is no denying the fact
that the pure white linen handkerchief
has established itself too firmly to be
ousted by the faddish little bits Of
color, though why must one hang SO
tenaciously to certain style, for to
take up with fad makes one appre.
ciate all the more the simple styles
when they are again adopted.

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof-
fee even after they know it is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
Zone day 1 asked her why she did
not give up coffee as a cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
FINALLY, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish | asked for
a taste.
THAT started me on Postum and /
now drink it more freely than / did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"a girl friend of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked If it
was coffee. / told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home. but
forgot to tell her how to make it.
1.-THE next day she said she did not
see how l could drink Postum. found
she had made it like ordinary coffee.
So I told her how to make 1t right
and gave her a cupful l made, after
boiling it fifteen minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
as good, and now coffee is banished
from both our homes" Name given

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family

after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.

Handkerchiefs Used
to Finish Waist

Most every woman has at least one
or two waists in her wardrobe which
she thinks unbecoming, or which she
thinks is not dressy or trimmed
enough. A pretty and at the same
time an extremely inexpensive TRIM
ming for such waists is made OF TWO
handkerchiefs and some ribbon. Hand
kerchiefs which just about match your
waist in texture should be chosen. Ii
the blouse is of sheer, fine material
choose a dainty handkerchief with an
edging of dainty lace. Handkerchiefs
which have a tiny colOred border
should be chosen if the waist is not of
as dressy a make.
The handkerchiefs are folded di-
agonally from about an inch above one
corner to an inch above the other. Ii
folded correctly one corner OF the
handkerchief will fall about an inch
inside the corner of the other. Six
little rosettes of ribbon a quarter OF
an inch wide are made. Two for the
back are connected by two little straps
of the ribbon an inch and half long
Ou0 VI LuGSC IOSCLLCS ID Ao0IOAOu ~ -
folded corner of each of the handker-
chiefs. The handkerchiefs are then
laid over the shoulders, with the cor
ners falling slightly over the sleeves
and the folded line nearest the neck.
Two rosettes are then fastened on a
folded corner of each handkerchief in
the same manner as the back was fast
ened. Two straps of ribbon an inch
and a half long join the ruche of the
two opposite bows.
The straps on one side should be
fastened with small hooks and eyes so
that the handkerchief bertha may be
put on and taken off without having to
slip it over the head.
The handkerchiefs which one girl
used in making this exquisitely dainty
little garment were monogram hand
kerchiefs edged with lace, and the
result was quantity charming.

REMINDED HIM OF HOME.
New Yorker Saw Beauty in Sign,
Where Maiden Lady Could Not.

A party of tourists was being shown
around Ciudad Juarez, the little Next
can town just across the Rio Grande
from Ell Paso, Texas. Every one was
delighted with its picturesqueness
and in particular a maiden lady, who
went into raptures about each new
sight.
1T is all so quaint" she said. "These
adobe houses, the old church, the mar.
row streets, the little plaza, those
1readful-looking men wearing SOM
breros; everything breathes the spir-
it of an old-world civilization. 1t is
so different from our United States"
That's So" assented a New York
man who had been listening. For
instance, where in all the world could
you find anything so antique, so full
Of inherent beauty, so charged as it
we're, with the essence of pure joy, as
that sign over there" He pointed
toward a whitewashed mud house on
whose exterior was painted:
BIGGEST BEER IN TOWN, &C."
The woman eagerly turned to look.
Then she froze the horrid man with
glance and did not speak to him
again during the whole trip.

Oatmeal the Best
of Skin Beautifiers

did you know that common oat-
meal, the kind that you have on the
breakfast table every morning, is the
best skin whitener in the wOrld?"
asked the beauty doctor. women
think they must have salves from the
Orient and lotions from the Antilles
before they can be beautiful, but my
experience is that this climate grows
just as good beautifiers as any other.
Just take heaping tablespoonful OF
soft creamy oatmeal from the break
fast table tomorrow morning and
smuggle it to your room. Then pour
over it a teaspoonful of oil of sweet
almonds and rub the two up into a
nice thick paste for your hands and
arms"
But isn't it awfully sticky?" quer-
led the perplexed patient
The beauty doctor laughed. "You
wear it under Gloves said she.
There's nothing better, by the way,
for just this purpose than that pair
of chamois gloves that you used to
wear in here last summer. l suppose
they have seen their day now, SO you
can put them on night duty. Simply
coat the hands and arms with the oat-
meal paste and then slip on the gloves
last thing before you hop into bed"
But don't have to wash my hands
in something special first?" asked the
worried beauty seeker.
tits a good plan to use soap and
water on the hands now and then" ad-
mitted the doctor. ''If the water is
hard, soften it with a pinch of bDrax,
but not any more, as it dries the skin
terribly. Your hands are quite free
from hairs, so you can use plain white
CASTLE soap on them CASTLE is oily,
you know, so it encourages any ten
dency that you might have to fuzzy
arms. If ever you are troubled, just
try rubbing them with powdered
pumice stone"
my sister tried that" said the pa
tient, "and it took all the skin off,"
That's because she got so interested
in seeing the hairs come off that she
forgot it was her arm and not the floor
she was scrubbing," replied the beauty
specialist. You have to go at these
things carefully. Mix the pumice with
cold cream and use a flannel rag
Don't try to do it all in one day. Scrub
a little every night, using the oatmeal
and almond oil afterward, and the skin
won't come Off"

"You may quote me all sorts Of
statistics about the rise in foodstuffs,"
said a man who patronizes quick
lunch establishments, "but the best
evidence is that pie has been reduced
to the eighth cut and in many places
shows signs of being further reduced
to the sixteenth division, if not to
the vanishing point. Why, it is not so
many years ago that we used to get a
quarter of a pie for a nickel, but now
it is in fear and trembling that one
calls for the great American delicacy.
Il tell you, sir" he went on menac-
ingly, some day New York will wake
up and find rebellion in Park row
when the pie princes reduce our PIE

ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY
His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured in 4 Days BY Cuticura.

zone day We noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies
being SO good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but a solid mass of this itch
ing disease. | purchased box Of Cuti-

Channels Linuerie.

This is a new notion that has come
in with the demand for supple, close
fitting combination undergarments.
The most usual combination is a
corset cover and petticoat in soft
satin. 1t ends at the knees and is
heightened to the ankles only by a
plisse of chiffon without foundation,
and over this is worn the absolutely
unlined broadcloth or velvet skirt.
But the newer combinations appear
in fine supple chamois or suede in
many colorings, heightened by plisse
of null to match, for this is very
warm, and with a woven silk combina-
ton suit under the corset is consid.
cred warm enough for coolest weather.

Rina Watches Popular.

Swiss watchmakers are reported to
be busy filling English and American
orders for finger ring watches. The
ring watch, though little seen, is no
novelty. The manager of an old Lon
don matchmaking firm says that he
saw them more than IA years ago.
Queen Victoria had three or four.
The simplest ones-a plain gold ring
with the watch inserted-cost about
$100, but with diamonds or other
stones, $4,000 to $4,000 may be paid.
