FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS

The careful mother does not let her

quently found in the soil, and child
with even small scratch or cut takes
big risks For girls, especially, running
barefoot should be forbidden pleasure,
as it makes the feet broad and fiat.
A good poultice that gives relief in
many kinds of sudden pain is one we'll
known to our grandmothers, but now
| little used because few know how to
make it. 1t is made from dried hops.
Put a cupful of the hops in a cup of hot
water and let it boil until the water is
reduced to half cup; then stir in
| enough cOrnmeal to thicken. Apply
very hot between thin muslin cloths.
| Poultices when needed at night can be
| made on an alcohol lamp with a tin cup
on top. A new pOultice can be heating
in this while the old one is cooling on
the patient. 1t saves many trips to the
kitchen.
The vogue for khaki colored gowns is
responsible for the popularity of black
| hats and shoes 1t is now de rigueur
| for hats, shoes and hose to be of
shade that contrasts with the costume.
| For instance, dark blue tailored cos
tune would be piped with cerise the
shoes, hat and hose being of the latter
| color. With khaki gowns black is the pre-
| vailing color for the gloves. Mole and
gray suede gloves will also be fashion
able this season, while silk and lace are
| being revived to wear with lingerie

exceedingly pretty. They have passed out

| become more expansive. They are more
| frilled and furbelOwed.
The directoire and the Byzantine,
| which threatened to remain over sum
mer, were not happy choices of fashion
| for the 1S-yearold girl. Unless she had
supple, rounded, beautiful figure she
| looked her worst when clothed in two
straight widths of material, no waist
line, and tulle shoulder scarf. She was
not enough at home on polished and po
lite Fairgrounds to walk or dance well in
these skinny draperies.
Whatever was amateur and immature
in her department was shown to its
greatest disadvantage. She gained the
reputation of being awkward, and it was
said of her that she even did not know
how to hold up her skirt in a decent
manner when she danced.
If she had been properly frOcked in
paits and ruffles she would probably
have looked graceful and started a bet
ter reputation about herself in the way of
ease and poise in society.
This summer she may wear the frlIiS
and plaits to her hearts content. 1t is
no longer necessary or Fashionable for
her to look like a walking stick. She has
come back into a girls own heritage,
she can be fluffy and youthful in every
garment she wears.
A New York woman who nursed three
goldfish in a small aquarium tank graced
with Aquatic plants thought she would
add bizarre touch to her water garden
by dropping into the tank a gayly col
ored celluloid alligator she had picked
up at a 10 cent counter. She dropped the
alligator. One Of the goldfish instantly
leaped several inches above the water,
Topped back inert and never moved
again. The mistress of the goldfish was
sure her darling had died Of fright.
A number Of the wide-brimmed hats OF
the summer have loose, floating strings
that tie on the shoulder or knot we'll be-
low the bust. They do not tie beneath
the chin in the old manner. They are
usually of black velvet and go across the
crown of the hat, and are lightly at
tached to the sides. Some girls toss the
strings backward over the shoulder or
in front of the arm, and let them hang
without tying. On hat trimmed with
foliage these velvet ribbons are quite
good touch.
When doing fine embroidery it is bet
ter to haste the goods tightly against a
piece of white table OilclOth than to use
embroidery rings. There will be no fear
of stretching the material and the work
NAV no handled easier
If you dread your umbrella jar will be
broken from careless handling, try put
ting a rubber mat in the bottom. One
housewife has inside of hers circle of
rubber tubing on top of which is a fiat
tin plate with slightly upturned edge.
The tubing keeps this from resting on
the bottom, and it can easily be emptied
of drippings.
The mimosa. which, with the violet,
has stood for trembling shyness, is the
popular flower of the moment abroad. 1t
is used on every manner of hat with
green foliage. 1t is worn on the corsage
and in the buttonhole. 1t goes well with
all the dull shades of yellow, including
sulphur, and, therefore, is a boon to the
milliner.

Queen Wilhelmina of Holland uses a
