From the way they sleuthed through that excursion train one would have thought that the Queen of Shebas wardrobe was in danger of being smugeled into the land of the free. One hour and half of careful scrut- iny without locating thread or dutiable stun looked like loves labor lost, but there is nothing like perse- verance.

Printed Cretonnes for Decorative
Work.

q o wonderfully decorative are the printed Gre
} tonnes that they used for vast number OF
articles which the young girl, possessed of a GER
tain amount of ingenuity combined with patience may
make for herself. Capacous laundry bags evolved
from yard of cretonne, which is so wide that only
one necessary although both sides of the bag
should be douby stitched in order to afford additional
strength The lower end is similarly treated while the
upper one is folded back to form lined ruf1e above
a triply stitched hem when the cordage strings are
drawn taut
Folding shirt waist boxes composed of five
pieces and lid of cretonne pasted heavy card
board The corners of the four upright pieces are
joined by bowed tapes ribbons, and the lid
is hinged with the same materials. For small sum
any carpenter will construct and paint with enamel
skeleton frame for five drawer toilet case, intended
accommodate pins of various sizes and classes. As
the drawers are merely cretonne covered boxes OF
equal size fitted with tiny brass handles any girl
may do that portion of the work.
Any box of convenient size and shape may be Gre
tonne covered and used for handkerchief gloves ana
wells, but the daintiest of them have ribbon bound
edges and lined with muslin embroidery over
sachet cushions of decately tinted sateen
-Four sectioned scrap baskets merely panels OF
cretonne covered pasteboard joined at intervals with
tape while whisk brooms topped with colored nanny
heads have creonne petticoats, which may be turned
back when the article is in use
Laundry lists, post card albums and book calendars
have cretonne covers modelled after those used to pro-
tect magazines, and writing pads backed and cor
nered with the mdCerial.
Cretonne covered work boxes are shaped and closed
Ike suit cases Ihey open on both sides ana are nted
with every utens that the fancy worker will be likely
to require
Pin cushion tops scarfs and the entire dressing
table are with cretonne decorated with gold

An attractive device for using the Powered paper

this style of paperng effective it is necessary that

may be used successfully. The paper for the side

SOCIAL AMENITIES FOR
THE SCHOOL GIRL

N ERECTING ones self in the rules of etiquette
- is continuous occupation of a most interesting
kind, for though the fundamental principles never
change there is constant change in minor matters
due to the fads and fancies Of Madam Grundy And
not to keep abreast of the caprces of that auocrac
lady is to be behind the times, indeed
Madam Grundy this frowns upon the ex-
hibOn of excessively in any FORM and so it is not
the fashion now to gush, though it wasn't so long
ago that gushing people thought most attractive
But the proper tone of to-day is to have manner
which is cordial and sincere but distinctly quiet and
this requires considerable drilling to attain
When you invite your friends to do anything show
the sincerity of your desire to have them accept by
manner which is warm but not urgent. If they ac
cept quietly show your pleasure but if they decline
if they show uncertainty do not be insistent
try to tease them into doing what may be quite mpos
sibes And, the other hand when you are the per-
invited do not gush your acceptances cor
your regrets but make your replies brief simple
with complete avoidance of explanations as to why
you why you cannot-explanations of any sort
now being considered extremely bad form.
So much embarrassment would be eliminated if

give reasons for declining when often the reasons
were quite too personal to give.

Dainty Ribbon Stocking
Supporters.

IN NEW and original scheme has been devised by
~ one clever girl which if adopted by many would
do away with much annoyance and trouble The
annoyance and trouble caused by the holes torn
in the tops of girls fine (and even heavy stockings
by the metal clasps on their stocking supporters
How many girls have not often found one or two
holes in a new pair of silk stockings that have come
in this aggravating way?
Well, this be entirely avoided by this new
scheme which is quite simple. 1t consists of sewing
little tape loops the hem of the stocking in the
places where the clasps generally fastened, cut
ting the clasps from the elastic of the supporters and
sewing in their places piece of strong ribbon long
enough to through the tape loop on the stocking
and tie in a bow knot
The elastic may have to be cut little shorter than
it has been, for stockings long enough to
make it necessary to fasten the clasps considerably
below the the hem. But each girl measure her
quite easily and make the length right The
effect of these little bows is very dainty, certainly
much prettier than metal clasps.
