RuLeS for Guidance of Women
Who Would AUotd All Wrinkles

Here are some suggestions for the
woman who would avoid wrinkles:
Don't speak with all the muscles Of
the face in play. It is very charming
and captivating 10 be deeply, deadly in
earnest. but facial Er1maces form
creases which in time viii become fixed.
Don't worry; but n worry you must.
keep the forehead smooth and don't
frown.
Don't wear tight shoes; they make a
young face look drawn ana wrinkled in
a few hours.
Don't neglect the ten minutes rest
during the day, with the feet raised. tt
gives the whole body great sense of
repose and works wonders in smoothing
out the lines OF the face.
Don't let insomnia get the upper hand.
BY all means In your power, Try 10
break up the habit. SIeepIessness is
sometimes caused by UNCONSCIOUS hun
ger. and a cup OF hot water or a biscuit

Don't 90 too long without food. Hun
ger gives a strained look 10 the face.
The Washington times., 1909-09-12

Now and then. If one is fatigued. a bite
between meals will invigorate the whole
system and give. repose and relaxation
to strained muscles and nerves.
Don't sit facing a strong light.
Don't stop bend over while reading
or writing
Don't scoWI
Don't use violence in smoothing out
lines on the face. for IL viii not stand
pounding The manipulation must be
gentle and even. or the skin will be-
come very coarse and leathehy
Don rub the lines the wrong vyav OF.
they VIII become more, instead OF less.
prominent Rub across the wrinkles
with rotary motion
Don loosen the skin from the under
lying tissues nor stretch il.
Don't forget that occasionally during
treatment the face should be very gent
~ smoothed with the tips Of the fing-
ers Of both hands
Don't be anxious or disheartened or
impatient These passions make ugly
lines on the face.
Don't believe that there are any sI1-
pernatural virtues in being ugly or

especially those with a touch of color
on the edge. parasOls and the sleeve
OF the tailored shirt waist
This last is comparatively new and
very popular. among young girls esPe-
cially. While these monograms are oc-
casiOnaliy done in white, they are more
often embroidered in colors particu-
larry old blue, lavender and a dull
crushed raspberry.
The monogram is stamped on the left
sleeve. an inch and half above the
cum, and in such a way that IL faces
the cuff and comes on the top Of the
arm when the sleeve is on.
Be Sure to Get
The Monogram Straight.
If the shirt waist is TO be stamped
away from home try it on first and
with a thread mark the top of the
sleeve. Otherwise you will be hOrrifed
after working an elaborate monogram
to find it crooked
Do not have the lettering too large.
Two inches and half for the whole
interlacinE is a moderate size. The de-
sign is either made with the letters side
BY side directly across the arm. or
they run one above the other with the
first letter of the name nearest the
elbow.
with the monogram slanting toward the
outside OF the arm and toward the
cuff
These monograms are often done in
satin stitch. heavily padded and worked
so that they stand up well. To get the
hest raised effect put the needle in well
under the padding. and bring il out on
the other side within the outline.
For fle- effect. one that is popular
for the monOgraus on these sleeves,
outline the outsidcs of the letter IN a
dark color of cotton or silk and iii

Monograms on All Apparel Is the Latest Fad

should not be too ornate, as YOU more
quickly tire Of it, Block or script let
tiers are always in good taste.
Unless one is 4 skilled embroidered
avoid having monogram that is COM
plicated IN arrangement even though
the letters themselves are simple. a
better effect with less work can be had
with interlaCing letters placed either
running in a slightly diagonal fashion.
For the last Japanese lettering Is eff
fectlve and easy TO do.
II must be remembered In working
monographs on clothing that IL must
launder well; that il rocks as firm and
smooth after washing as II does be-
fore. Many workers get fairly good
effect before water IS applied, but the
lettering spreads or fattens later.
Secret of Good
Lettering the Padding.
The secret of good lettering is the pad
ding or under surface. This should be
smooth. full. and firm. Use either a
chain stitch or outline, as preferred. but
soc that the surface to be embroidered
Is entirely covered, slightly fuller in che
center than at the sides. and regular on
the edge of outline
The best material FOR padding is a soft
darning cotton. II the embroidery is "a
near the shade Of the outside as posi-
BILE, particularly if you are not a very
good worker. Otherwise. the covering
pulls apart when Numbered and shows
the white stu6ing beneath.
Most mOnograms are worked in satin
stitch. This must be done very close 70
gether. Take each stitch as close 10 the
one before IL as Is possible without over
tapping Put i'm the stitches at rigE-
angles to the outline. pointing the needle
directly at the worker. Some satin
stitch is done in q slanting direction
but this is neither so easy TO do nor Sc
Eood-Iooking when done.
The French peasants, who do the
most exquisite OF all monographs on
handkerchiefs and fine lingerie rarely
n ever. slant their stitch, but put IL in
directly across the design, crowdinr
slightly on the inside Of curves L,
maintain the direction.
AS a rule, monographs on clothing are
done ia white or self colors. There Is
a fancy just now. however, for using
duh colors on certain parts Of ones
personal belongings, as handkerchiefs

Unusually ActfOe Trading
In Markets of the District

Light receipts and firm. advancing
prices promise to characterize the egg.
butter, cheese, and poultry markets
this week. Unusually active trading is
anticipated for the reason that produc-
ers have been advised to keep goods
moving, demand giving no indication as
yet Of falling below supply.
Last weeks trading on the market
resulted in higher prices being placed on
each Of the four commodities named
above. Eggs recorded the biggest adj
vance. Butter went up 2 cent, while
both cheese and poultry recorded SUBJ
stantial advances.
Concerning the outlook for this week.
IL is practically certain none Of the
commodities will sell at Urices below
those OF last week If anything, a
50-cent egg market is looked for. while
a general advance TO - to 20 cent
chicken market would occasion no sur
prise. Receipts OF butter doubtless will
continue decreasing, but dealers gener-
ally anticipate last weeks prices being
maintained. There is considerable spec
ulation as 20 what the cheese market

~ better market last week than the

are looked for in the conditions under
lying the market. Prices viii be gagged
almost entirely by quality, so that the
best grades should move without diff
fculty.

slight prospect of improvement in re-
oeipts OF vans and sweet potatoes. and.

there should be a drmer market ou
these vegetables. Generally gDea king.
