When Maxine House Dresses.

In making up shirt waist frock
of washable material that is to see
hard service is a good idea to make
two waists to one skirt The skirt
wears twice as long as the blouse
and in this way the life of the frock
is prolonged
They will fade unequally? Not a
bit of it, if the waists are worn al.
ternately, not keeping one until the
other is worn out
Another useful tip for the morn
ing frock is to have stocks made of
the material with white piqueties for
four in hand. There should be at
least two to each waist, as a frock that
is worked in gets soiled more quick.

stock is not detachable the blouse
must often go to the tub before its
time.
Have the skirts cut to clear the

is presentable at any minute, though

USES FOR ADHESIVE PLASTER
From Marking Preserves to Mending
Sudden Rent In Frock 1t Is
Found Valuable.

A trained nurse was responsible for
the suggestion that made strips of ad
hesive plaster household friend In
one family. The nurse said that In
the hospitals she used this plaster for
everything she wanted to label. 1t is
easy to write on, can be cut any de.
sired shape, and adheres quickly and
firmly.
She labeled all her different medi-
cine glasses in this way, as it did not
blur so easily as paper labels If it
became damp. She also used it in the
diet kitchen for different supplies. II
could be removed without the dis.
agreeable crumbling of paper when 1t
became soiled.
Since then the family has never
been without a supply of adhesive"
as the nurse called it. 1t is used for
every purpose, from marking pre-
serves to mending a sudden rent in a
frock
The plaster can either be bought
wound on spools, or what is much
cheaper, in sheets about half yard
long, which can be easily cut or torn
as needed.

Character In Walking.

Walking is almost as common as
breathing, eating and sleeping, yet
there are many people who do not
know how to walk. Some loiter along
with a half-dead, half-alive air, while
others madly rush as If but moment
of time was theirs
Now, there is much character in
walk; 1t should embody energy, am
bition and enterprise and at the same
time grace and dignity
To walk for health certain prepare
tions should be made. In cold wealth
er the clothing should be warm, hut
not heavy. The clothing should be
loose, for tight garment restricts cir
culation The skirt should be short
and the shoes should be low-heeled,
wide and thick soled.
Deep breathing goes hand-in-hand
with walking, and 1t is good habit to
breathe rhythmically. counting the
while.

TRIMMING UNDER THE ARM
Fashion for Autumn That May or May
Not Long Retain lie Pop
ularIty.

This autumn will set the fashion for
elaborate trimming under the arm In
full swing. No one can propnesy these
days how long 1t or any other fashion
will remain in style.
All one can hope for is that styles
won't go hopelessly out of fashion be.
fore one can wear the garment they
are having made. A dressmaker
should really go home with every
gown to alter it on It's arrival.
But this under-arm adornment may
be taken off quite easily if style de-
mands 1t. 1t is pretty and gives a
coat or gown other lines from those
which we have been adopting.
1t is change from that ever-recur.
ring line down middle front and back
Braid, either soutache or the new lace
weave, is the most used of all the
trimmings. Floral designs are not
especially popular. All the so-called
Egyptian ones are.
In separate, sleeveless coats, which
are still popular, the armhole is de-
cidedly pear-shaped, and the trimming
which surrounds it extends to the
hem.
Princess frocls, which are even
more fashionable than ever, have fan
tastes of trimming under the arm,
narrowing as they go toward the hem.
Lace is used, silver and gold braid,
insertions of another material, and APP,
piled leaves of metal tissues OF panne
velvet.
The latter is a medieval idea that
joins hands cordially with all the 9th
er ideas we are borrowing from far
gone centuries
