Fancy Waist with Deep Girdle.


Everything that gives the short
waist line and the consequent Empire
suggestion is greatly in vogue just
now, and this blouse Is one of the
prettiest yet to have appeared. It
includes a garniture which can be
made from the filet or from all-over
lace, as in this instance, or from silk
or from contrasting material embroid-
cred or braided with soutache, or,
indeed, from almost anything that
fancy may, dictate. The little trim
ming of balls is an effective one and
greatly in vogue, but that finish also
is optional, for the blouse itself is
adapted to all the thinner, fashion,
able fabrics which can be tucked and
pleated SO successfully. The sleeves
are novel and distinctive and the
blouse is altogether one of exception
al charm. 1t is made with a lining
and the girdle is attached to it SO
that the entire garment is closed in
visibly at the back.
\ The waist consists of the founda-
ton lining, the blouse and sleeve
portions, cut in one, and the garni-
ture. The chemisette is faced onto
the lining, and when transparent
effect is desired this last is cut away

NAIL BEAUTIFYING.

Nothing is more disfiguring than a
ragged appearance of the skin around
the nails. To prevent this it is ad-
visable to steep the nails for a few
minutes every morning and night in
warm olive oil, this treatment also
aiding considerably in keeping the
f1ngertips in good condition where
they are apt to become scanned and
rough after sewing or attending to
small household duties: To remove
the oil, before drying the hands a
father made of soap-jelly is useful, a
capital idea being that of utilizing the
odds and ends of toilet soap for this
purpose, which usually represent a
problem where the household is fairly
numerous. If these are shredded down
they can be dissolved and the result

Brush Holds the Blacking.

An entire shoe backing outfit con-

Heretofore it has been necessary to
supply oneself with several brushes,

In washing silk handkerchiefs care
should be taken to prevent their turn

out all the moisture possible, and dry
quickly in the sun. Iron them while
they are still damp, but not wet.

Bees and Boys.

In many of the California apiariea
boys are being employed almost alto

only in swarming time that other

and it is said that they are not stung

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT!
ANY Child Can Do it---The Result Is
Almost Like MaSic---USeful Too.

ALMOST Like Ma81C---USefui Too.
Anything in the nature of chem
fcal experiment Is always interesting
and usually educative. Here is
simple experiment which any child
can perform and which is instructive
In very practical way: Get bit OF
White Lead about the size OF a. pea, a
piece of charcoal, common candle
in candlestick, and a blow-pipe.
Scoop out little hollow in the char
coal to hold the White Lead. then
light the candle, take the charcoal
and lead in one hand and the blow
pipe in the ether, with the large end
of the blow-pipe between the lips;
blow the fame of the candle steadily
against the bit of White Lead on the
charcoal and ii the White Lead is
pure it will presently resolve itself
into little shining globules of metallic
lead, under the intense heat of the
blow-pipe, leaving no residue.
If, however, the White Lead is
adulterated in the slightest degree, it
will not wholly change into lead.
So, it will be seen, that this expert
ment is not only an entertaining
chemical demonstration, but also of
practical use in the home. White
Lead is the NEST important ingre-
dent of paint. 1t should be bought
pure and unadulterated and mixed
with pure linseed oil. That is the
best paint. The above easy expert
ment enables any one to know wheth-
er the paint is the kind which will
wear or not.
The National Lead Company guar
antee that white lead taken from a
package bearing their Dutch Boy
Painter" trademark will prove abso-
lutely pure under the blow-pipe test;
and to encourage people to make the
test and prove the purity of paint be-
fore using it, they will send free a
blow-pipe and valuable booklet on
paint to any one writing them asking
for Test Equipment. Address Ma
tional Lead Company, Woodbridge
Building, New York City.

The uncleanly back yard, with its

post heaps that constitute breeding
grounds for flies and other disease
spreading insects, must answer in
many counts in this indictment. De-
spite It's splendid organization and

The inconsistent ordinance that
ostensibly provides for the removal

of disease, and that requires the
resident to remove his own stable
compost, a health menance equally es-

the grave aggravauon of the original
