SEWING SUGGESTIONS.

Pretty shades for the center table
lamps may be made easily at home.
Take the wire frames and cover them
with shimmery silk or tissue paper. If
the paper is used make cords of the
same. Insets Of filet net in the silk
shades are specially effective and not
difficult to place.
An embroiderer gives this rule for
working initials on lingerie: Never use
anything on cotton for embroidery but
cotton. If the material is linen take
care to use linen thread. Best results
are obtained If when padding is neces-
sary the same thread is used for this
part Of the work as for the embroidery
proper.
For coat hanger get three heavy
wires about twenty-siX inches long and
cover them with ribbon castings, using
black, yellow and red for the different
cases. Fasten the three wires together,
braid them and finish each end with
ribbon bows. Cover a wire for the
hanger. These can be made of any
ribbon covering.
To correctly find ones waist measure
so as to be able to put belt or girdle
on shirt waist cut shirt waist some
what shorter than full length pattern;
make waist and then try on; tie tape
around waist, placing fullness in back
front and sides just as desired. Then
take a lead pencil, mark the waist all
around just below tape. Cut Off ever
with marked line after taking of
waist. Put on belt, remembering tC
have measured distance from middle
Of back to underarm seam so as tC
know exactly where to let fullness be
This is an excellent idea and will be o.
great benefit to home dressmakers.

What is said to be the most extraor-
dinary feat of criminal vengeance on
record happened at Algiers in 1890. A
man named Foglio was arrested by the
French police at the instance Of the
italian government. He was suspected
Of completely in a Sicilian murder
crime, and 1t was known that he was
a member Of the Malta. In jail he
weakened and promised to tell the
whole story on condition that his life
was spared. Two mornings later his
jeller, visiting the cell. found Foglio
on the floor, stabbed to the heart. The
dagger was still in the wound, and on
the body lay scrap Of paper with the
words, $50 perish traitors" in Italian
To this day the mystery of that death
wound has never been solved.

as unique and Rooseveltian as the Off
GERS of the steamship company, backed

The function in this way became a

take a joke on himself pretty well he
did not mind some of the sportiveness
of the dinner and its program. Open

For all who may contemplate entering
this race, the following suggestions
are important:
Long walks and slow jogging should
always be given course.of training for
distant running. Whenever a difficulty
in breathing is felt, the athlete should
walk until his powers of respiration have
recovered. He should never sit or stand
around uncovered, but as soon as his
work is done, cover up warmly until an
opportunity to be rubbed down is given
him, and then dry, warm clothes should
follow.
While running, the athlete should stop
Just as soon as he feels a pain in his side,
or the front part of his lower lie? be-
comes sore.
The diet should be simple, sleep abui-
dant. Omit tobacco, all alcoholic liquors,
tea, coffee, pickles, pastry, dumplings
and the like.

DON'T BREAK DOWN.

Better Than Skilled Specialists.

Occasional Flights From the Grind
Better Than Skilled Specialists.
There would not be SO many worn
out, tagged looking women IL we
learned early the value Of that ounce
Of prevention. With most Of us pre-
vention is like thunder-it comes after
the danger is past
SO much of the misery of life is
preventable that 1t is pitiful how rare
ly the effort is made. We lose our
looks, break down before our time and
either are snuffed out altogether or
hang on creaking hinges when we
should be in the full flush of living.
Most women act as If they were fa-
talists-what must be must be. Then
they groan when the inevitable occurs
instead Of living up to the true fatal
ist spirit of stoicism.
Perhaps Sou are one of the persons
who ever take any rest You look
on life as a race to be run, forgetting
until the finish.
Have you the foolish idea that to
stop II minute to read the papers or to
dip into a famous book is stealing
time that should be devoted to hus-
band or children? Are you charitable
to every one but yourself and look
upon letting up in your mad pace rs
shirking?
Are you one Of those misguided be-
ings who think monotonous plodding
is duty and crush out young longlngs
for an occasional matinee or social
outing lest you fail In some chimerical
duty?
If so, reaijust things. Learn to look
on these things as "that ounce Of pre-
vention" without which smashups are
Inevitable. 1t is continual plodding
that not only makes life stale, but
brings wrinkles and narrow minds.
Do you ever stop to think what a
breakdown means? How many Of the
coveted pleasures or longed for rests
could have been had for the doctors
hire?
Occasional fight from the grind is
better than skilled specialists to keep
one well, which is the sensible mod
ern woman's reading of chat ounce of
prevention"

THE NEW COIFFURE.
Smart Women Have Taken Up the
Parted Pompadour.

Parted Pompadour.
After all the preaching about the
parted pompadour, it didn't come in
until the season was we'll started. Now
the smart women are rapidly taking it
up. At the opera, at dinner dances, at
the theater and wherever women gath
er with bare heads the parted pompa-
dour is the mode of the moment.
1t Is doubtful If the small roll of hair
over the temples could be dignified by
the name of pompadour. 1t stands out
waved. more often at home than on
the irons Of the hairdresser. The part
ing is on the left side and the hair
brushed away from it in man fashion.
At the right side of the part the hair
sweeps down over the brow and across
the temples in large ripping wave.
The left side goes back over the ear
knot that stands straight out from the
head.
Every one thought this parted POM
padour would be unbecoming. On the
contrary, it is quite attractive and a
charming relief from the mass of ruff
ed and rated hair that we have been
wearing over the brow for years.
Whatever rats or grapes are put into
the hair to keep it out now are used
at the sides. They must noe go across
the back except under the Psyche
knot.
The correct coiffure adopted by the
majority has the hair brushed up
smoothly from the nape of the neck to
the knot itself. There is no bulging
out or sagging down. 1t is a clean
Grecian sweep, usually held in place
by wide barrette.

rival at Mombasa, where he is due the
latter part of April, he would have no
trouble in keeping busy for the next
six months going to the kind of social
doings popular. in that part Of the
world If he wanted to spend his time
that way. But he is anxious to get
right into the depths Of the jungle,
where the lions roar and the monkeys
scream and other wild creatures make
night gay or hideous, as you will, so
there is little doubt that when he
leaves the steamer Admiral, on which
he sailed from Naples en- route to Nom

ing ceremonies as short as the cour-
tesies Of the occasion win permit.

PRIZE ESSAYS.

The approaching completion of the
High School buildings will soon neces-
state the grading and arrangement of
the school property grounds. No one is
more interested in having this work
properly done than the pupils who are
to use them, and no landscape gardener
should attempt the task without con-
sulting them. In order to stimulate
suggestion on this point THE CITIZEN
offers the scholars of the Public School
two prizes of ST. 90 each for the best two
essays on "The Best Way to Arrange
the New School House Grounds" the
competition to close April 18th. The ar
ticles, which must not exceed four hun
dred words in length, are not to be
signed, but the name of the writer must
be written on a separate slip, and en-
closed in an envelope with the essay.
The contributions will be numbered and
submitted to competent judges who will
decide on their respective merits. The
winning essays with the names of the
authors will appear in the first number
of THE CITIZEN following the award.
