1t can be done only through the in

The wise effort now being made In
our busy and alert city by this class
of citizens should reach the hearts and
purses of all. Among the many appeals
which reach us day by day, none are
more far-reaching and helpful per-
haps than this for a new and adequate

being made feasible through the gift
of land by a great-hearted citizen.
Some of us believe most strongly
that it is the duty of a municipality
and proof of the best business sense
to provide for all it's destitute and help
full and so divide the cost among all
prosperous citizens. We must hope,
however, that until that happy time
arrives such needed help as is now
called for will be gladly and speedily
given (within the present week 1t must

LOOKS TEN YEARS YOUNGER

One original woman has adopted a
very original attitude toward the
fickleness of fashion.
When she was about 45 years old she
made up her mind that she wanted her
time for other purposes than visits to
dressmakers, tailors and milliners. So
she had thoroughly good dressmaker
design a gown for her which was not
extreme in any of its details. The
sleeves were neither very large nor
very small The skirt was neither ex-
travagantly full nor extremely scant.
Moreover. 1t was made on lines which
were artistically fitted for the woman's
figure.
A milliner and tailor were asked to
design a hat and coat with the same
qualifications.
That was ten years ago, and since
that time she has had all her gowns,
coats and hats made on those models.
She says the saving of time and worry
is something enormous. She looks ten
years younger than any other woman
of her age in the town and she accounts
for it almost exclusively by her free
dom from the worries and fretting
about fashions.

TT w MANY women are able to
II tie an ordinary four-in-hand
IL knot? The making of a graceful.
bow is not such a difficult accomplish
ment. A little practice is all that Is
necessary, and in these days when so
many things are beautiful with rib
bon-outing hats, lingerie, negligee,
children's frocks and coiffures--every
woman should learn how to tie ribbon
bows. When the time comes for the
midsummer freshening up and the
obliging bow tier of the shop is far
away the accomplishment Will stand
one in good stead.
A good idea is to do the practice work
with strips of some cheap fabric, ike
paper cambria. which has the re-
uuired crispness of texture. Limp bows
are seldom successful.
Hold the ribbon between the thumb
and the finger of the left hand, about
three inches from one end, allowing
the rest of the ribbon to hang down
ward. Double up enough of the rib
bon to make a loose loop and hold the
ribbon firmly under the thumb, allow
ing the end now to pass upward. An
other loop may be made by turning
the ribbon downward, always hold
ing the place where the knot Is to come
firmly between thumb and forefinger.
When enough loops have been made to
form a pretty bow and the end of the
ribbon is turned upward, pass the end
around from left to right back of the
forefnger, push 1t under and up in
front, forming a knot, and draw 1t
tight.
The length of the loops may be grad
uated, If one side of the bow is to be
longer than the other as in the case of
a hat trimming. The chief require
ments in bowmaking are: First. to
have plenty of ribbon, and, second, to
hold the loops very securely until the
final knot is tied around them. Shower
bows for lingerie and rosettes made of
bebe ribbon require a whole bolt of
the ribbon; often two such rosettes are
made and then punched together. An
ordinary hat bow of five-inch ribbon
requires from three to four yards.
Pretty coiffure bows are made OF
four-inch messaline or taffeta ribbon,

Ribbon Belongings That
Can Be Readily Tied at Home

with cluster Of six short loops, the
long end of the ribbon remaining after
the knot is pulled tight being passed
around the hair at the back or laid
across the head in fillet fashion.
Cabochons of ribbon for hat trimming
are very easy to make and rich quail
ity of double-faced satin ribbon or vel
vet ribbon should be selected. Two
inch ribbon is wide enough for ca
bochon. II one possesses wider ribbon
which is fresh enough to use. 1t may be
cut in two through the center. First
make a foundation for the cabochon by
covering a disc of crinoline with a bit
of silk. This disc should be not more
than three inches in diameter, and
around its edge the ribbon should be
pleated thickly, two yards of ribbon
being none too much to pleat round a
three Inch disc. The pleating may con-
tinue round and round, one row over
the other, until the center Of the ca
bochon is reached, or a large button or
metal ornament may cover the center
and disguise the inner edge Of the
pleating.
Smart ribbon bows not difficult for
the amateur to achieve, may be at
tached to the stock or collar by means
of two long, round-headed pins, one
thrust in at either side. Even when
the neck bow is provided with one OF
the patent fasteners which hook to the
collar button, the pins will insure a
trimmer effect. Two pins should al
ways be used The neck bow pinned
only at one side is morally certain to
get askew before the day is over.
Many pretty hat trimmings may be
made of discarded ribbons If care is
taken in the renovating. Ribbons
should be lightly washed in warm soapy
water, and shaken-not squeezed-dry,
then laid between towels, so that the
moisture may be somewhat absorbed.
The ribbons may then be pressed be-
tween strips of paper or thin lawn,
while quite damp. A hot iron laid
directly on the ribbon will destroy it's
soft luster and give 1t a cotton effect.
Velvet ribbon may be restored to fresh
ness by stretching the creased places
over a hot f1atiron covered by thick
ness of very wet muslin.

NOTES

An old-fashioned housewife, who
knows how to cook delicious dishes that
are also wholesome. prepares cornmeal
"stirabout," or sapawn, in a way that
appeals to hungry palates. She fries it
while it is still hot from boiling, putting
II on to a hot griddle in large spoon
fuls just as it is, without egging or
Touring it at all. Her sapawn is crisp
and brown and makes good break
fast dish served with maple syrup and
with crisp bacon and hot
coffee.
Bread crumbs are much better than
cracker crumbs for covering things to
be fried, since they do not absorb the
grease.
For teas and luncheons some house
wives like to serve sandwiches made as
follows: Have ready thin buttered
slices of delicate brown bread. Spread
them, after trimming, with a layer of
strawberry jam or meach marmalade.
Cover with layer of fresh cream
cheese Press two slices together with
the filings against each other and

In ancient times all this vast ex-
tent of country was intersected by ir-
rigating canals. The most important
of them was the great Nahrawan
canal, one hundred and fifty miles
long and one hundred and thirty-two
yards broad, no Egyptian, and. in

hundred and forty miles in circum-

with flood gates so that the waters
could be drawn off for purposes of
