A DAINTY BLOUSE.

Crepe, homemade or French, has
been weighed in the balance and found
wanting by well-dressed women. 1t is
still worn in blouses by those who have
them, but this garment is no longer
bought as a novelty or a convenience.
Crepe would shrink, 1t wouldn't iron,

There is a substitute for such a
blouse that is proving both pleasing
and durable. This Is fine nainsook.
with the entire surface covered with
tucks. This sounds far more ordinary
than it looks.
The tucks, to begin with, are so tiny
that one does not discover they are
tucks until one runs the fingers over
the fabric. They are SO close together
that none of the plain surface is Wis
ible.
They are made up without lace or EN-.
broidery, though on some there are
small motifs of Irish lace inset down
the front. The boned or Dutch collar
is of baby Irish. to match the two-inch
cuffs which tightly button over with
small lace buttons. A row of these Is
down the middle front.
These blouses do wash and iron
easily and successfully, and are ex-
ouisitely dainty to wear with s%eparate
skirts or cloth or flannel coats inc

About the Return to School days


The history questions should be such
as the date Washington became Presi-
dent, when and where he died; naming
the thirteen original States, and at
least five signers of the Declaration of
Independence; where the first battle
of the Revolution was fought, etc.
A lesson In geography follows.
Bounding ones own State, naming the
longest river in the country. the largest
and the smallest State, the states with
, out a "water-front," are all sure to
puzzle. Geographical nicknames can
be made very l~aughable II the "schol-
usual sobriquct, as Boston. the Bean
City" instead of "The Hub"
Patriotic songs will prove a Waterloo,
as not many a repeat a whole verse.
Columbia the Gem OF the Ocean and
Yankee Doodle are the best known,
perhaps, because they are easy to sing,
but everyone will come strongly on the
GLORY, Glory, Hallelujah" of the Bat
tie Hymn"
The browning event is the spelling
bee, for ones ability to spell is apt to
vanish In an oral test. Be sure to have
a long list of words, for there may be
an unsupported genius present who can
spell down all the rest, including the
schoolmaster. Some words guaranteed
to trip the unwary are: Separate, vii
lain, mackerel, promissory, occurrence,
development. gnarled, parallel. grand
eur, parafin, mileage, admissible, fiery,
asterisk, sergeant, general, superin-
tendent, paraphernalia, extemporane-
Gus, accumulate, preferred and sur

Other catches will suggest themselves,
such as repeating the alphabet back
ward or giving the correct rendition of
familiar sayings.

Editor Home Problem:
Sir-Recently you published two let.
tiers, one from Batch" and one from q
Miss" two persons who apparently
have no knowledge of the cost of liv-
irg. Where In Newark can you find
comfortable rooms at $40 per month?
The landlords have screwed the rents
up so high for a few rooms that you
cannot get them at that price. Batch
wants to buy coal at Sc per ton. He
apparently does not know that the
minimum cost is $5.75. Imagine how
he can clothe four on 81 per week!
Bread, so cents. That's good for six
days. On the seventh they viii live
or air. Meat. 10 81 cents per day!
Now for the Miss She allows so
cents for vegetables, which shows how
Inexperienced she is in household costs.
For meat she is more -extravagant than
Batch" Batch" and Miss would
do well to get married and try the ex-
pertinent on $40 per.
Then there is a third letter by a mar-
ried woman, who has had some ex-
perience In housekeeping. but l candid
ly believe she could not feed and clothe
a family on that sum. This is what
she would expend: Vegetables. 80 cents;
potatoes, rs cents; a h~alf-pound OF
coffee for a whole week! Would that
taste like coffee or like dishwater?
l am of the opinion that these writer's
are only after the prizes offered by
you and just guess at these figures. but
could not do 1t in reality. r. S.

lightly dispel such poignant recollec-
lions, pack them away In the soft cot

say that you will not-but not that you

For a luncheon sdish where variety is
wanted drop an egg into a peeled to-
mato which has had the inside scooped
out to make room for it, put the to-
Inato into a Famekin, season it, add
butter and g little hot water, and bake
until the egg is set.
One Of the useful utensils brought out

A few minced nasturtium leaves

DAILY HEALTH HINT.

Nervousness accompanied by a

caused by eye strain. In fact,
abuse of the eyes often leads to
serious nervous disorders that
completely shatter the health.
Eye strain Is perhaps most frc-

bad or pickering light or In troll
ley cars and railroad trains.
These practises should be avoided.
Parents who find that their
children suffer from headache or

TIGHTENS THE LID.

Cooks will vouch for the annoyance
to which they are subjected by the
lids of pots and pans falling off those
receptacles to the stove or floor. To
correct this an Ohio man has invented
a lid holder for cooking vessels which
insures the lid staying in position. In
the first place, the lid in his design is
hinged and does not set on loosely. In
addition to this, 1T has a handle, indie
pendent of the pot handle. If 1t is de-
sired to lift the lid all that need be
lone is to depress this handle, Let &c
