1t was coincidence that all VINO
figured in the mishaps belonged to st.
Paurs school.
Colonel Enoch Moore was awarded
several prize ribbons for his fine sing
ing as leader Of the "Frogtown Quar-
tette." One Of the ribbons was in
tended for ]. Hadley Lewis, first bass
of the cuartette. but the colonel
wouldn't surrender it.
There was a joke on William Lawton
the well-known merchant too. When
he and Colonel Moore went down to
Woodland Beach the other day they
encountered many big, buzzing, biting
flies, or at least the flies encountered
them. Mr. Lawton. who Is a member
Of the Frogtown Quartette, went pre-
pared for the flies Yesterday. He took
along with him a cage of mosquito net
ting wire to go about mis- head, with a
veil of green attached to protect his
neck. Some OF the excursionists
thought it was a new-fangled baseball
mask, but M. Lawton IN his speaking
voice assured them it was a helmet to
protect against flies and mosquitoes
and was very popular and widely used
in the South.
Either because Of the delightful breeze
blowing them away or because the
pests heard of Mr.. Lawton's plans to
combat them, the flies were not az
Woodland Beach yesterday in annoying
numbers. Meanwhile Mr.. Lawson had
to carry around his anti-hy helmet
with him all day, and many excursion
lists couldn't resist the temptation to
twit him about it.

A collar lining of taffeta should be
cut so that the front part is on the
straight of the material, and the
curved part of the collar will then
come on the bias.
When altering a blouse it is mis-
take to move the shoulder seam to the
front. A better plan is to let it drop
backward instead of forward.
1t is a good plan to bend steels or
whalebones at the waist line when
making a bodice before putting them
into the castings, as the bodices will
then fit closer to the figure.
In sowing a piece Of material on the
bias to a straight piece the former is
apt to become stretched To avoid
this the bias should be placed un
derneath, and it will then be sewn in
evenly.
Always make the neck of blouse
slightly smaller than the base of the
collar band, and in lacking it. into
position it is an excellent plan TO GU
few notches in the blouse so as t
avoid wrinkles when the collar i!

For Shirt Waists.

There is nothing prettier for shirt
waists than silk-faced poplin, for the
goods can be neatly plated, tucked
and made into practically any dainty
shirt waist from the plain tailored one
to the dressy affair with lace or vel
vet garniture. The white poplin has
countless advantages. 1t sells for
about 80 cents yard, and possesses
innumerable good qualities which
make it valuable to the economical
woman. The material washes beau
tifully and may be ironed while per-
fectly dry and has a soft cashmere ap-
perance, or the beautiful tailored effect
Is produced in starching the goods. It
launders as beautifully as fine white
linen. Poplins of this kind may be
purchased in various colors, though
nothing quite takes the place of the
white for shirt waists, and the madras
effects with white figures are very
dainty.

Teaches Girls How
to Look Their Best

A certain eastern physical culture
teacher is busy teaching girls how to
walk, stand and manage their clothes.
Il teach them how to look their
best" said she. 1T is a hard job, for
most of them come to me in the raw
state, bad complexion and bad walk.
Il get girls ready to be bridesmaids,
and not long ago l prepared a young
woman to be maid of honor at a we'd
ding. taught her how to walk, how to
stand, how to sit and how to stoop
over. These things all come under the
head Of physical culture.
"The training of the back is the
most important Of our tasks. There
is a new carriage for the back, and
l am teaching it to my society pupils.
Il train the girls to be wedding
guests. This means proper manage
ment of train. The girl who wears
a trained gown must be nimble with
her heels. OF course, it Is not con-
sidered polite to kick ones train. Yet
this is exactly what a girl is compelled
to do. She must learn to kick it so
that the kick is invisible, however.
For the woman who is going to
adopt the new long skirt-a little
longer than convenient walking length
there are some suggestions. If your
skirt is very fashionable-two inches
too long in front-practice walking
with glide. Touch the ball of your
foot first, then gradually sink upon
your heels. This gives you the gliding
carriage. One hand must slightly lift
your gown in front. teach my pupils
how to handle their elbows. They
must use them prettily and deliberate.
ly and they must learn to hold them
easily"

Willowy Back Now
in Fashions Favor

Paper doll days are over with
Dame Fashion. We must have backs,
and they must be things of beauty
that is, for the girl who wants to look
stylish. A year or two ago 1t was
matter of choice whether or not one
cultivated the Ethel Barrymore back,
but there is no choice about the new
back. We must get willowy. Women
will all have to become contortionists
if they keep getting new backs or
fronts every year. Some say the cor
sets the thing, but girls who have
tried of laced into some of these
new mo hips" affairs say it's all de-
fusion and a snare. The only way to
get the new back is to grow thin.
This new back goes in sharply at
the waist line and the owner of 1t
stands so straight that she seems to
be bending over backward. Girls who
have really acquired it say they did
it by walking. One girl never takes a
street car for any place that she can
reach by walking. Incidentally, 1t
saves carfare. She started by being
tired to death after a one-mile jaunt,
but now she walks ten quite easily.
Strange to say, although she was
rather fat girl when she started in,
instead of tightening her corsets for
the mo hips" effect, she loosened
them. That's so my muscles can get
chance to work." said she.
The thin girls who have the back al
ready are giving up corsets entirely
1--WE may as we'll be comfortable while
it lasts" say they. The main point Is
to hold the chest high, the abdomen il
and the shoulders fiat as you walk. A
good exercise to get the new back is
taken on the floor. Lie perfectly fla

directly out at the sides. Then with

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to COT
fee even after they know 1t is doing
them harm, is 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 I 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 l did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now
"a girl friend of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked IL 1t
was coffee. 1 told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make it,
THE next day she said she did not
see how l could drink Postum. found
she had made it like ordinary coffee.
So | told her how to make 1t right
and gave her cupful l made, after

she never drank any coffee that tasted

New Millinery Fad.

Among she many new fancies in mil
linery are hats with velvet brims and
soft silk crowns, which are usually
trimmed with coq feathers. Another
fancy is to cover wire frame with
pink taffeta ruchings, placed so close
ly together that the effect is that of
feathers. These are trimmed with a
twist of velvet and buckle and are
very becoming.-The Housekeeper.
