doors, both sides, inside and out to
lay the splinters.
When that is dry go over the whole
thing with a couple of coats of good
white enamel paint.
Panels of some pretty pink Powered
cretonne may be tackled on the outside
of the four doors and sides of the cab
met, and. on the back If desired-it's
a relief once in a while to have the
backs of things presentable.
The panels are held on with little
brass-headed upholstery tacks. Very
pretty cretonnes may be had for Is,
rs and 80 cents yard, and even the
12R cent variety is not to be sneezed
at. The insdes of doors and cabinet
have panels put on in the same way,
of a delicate plain pink sateen.
The doors are put on with small
brass hinges, and fasten with an old
fashioned wooden button or tiny brass
, bolt A sash curtain rod is screwed
across the top of the cabinet on which
to hang the little coat and frocks. The
tiniest coat hangers imaginable, just
right size for the wee garments, come
for ten cents apiece. These may be
covered with bits of pretty silk or rib
bon.
The stand for the bonnet may be
covered with dainty bit of light
springleaf green silk. The pretty lacy
basket may be kept on the upper shelf,
and large boxes on the other shelves
in which to keep the baby's clothing.
These boxes may be of fancy paste
board, or a woman who is clever with
her brushes might buy plain white
boxes of an unglazed surface and dec
crate them with sprays of flowers. A
loop of ribbon is fastened to the cover
so that the boxes will pull out easily.

EMPIRE GIRDLES OF SEQUlNS
Are Much Favored for Both Light and
Dark CoIored Satin Gowns
This Season.

The novelty that was brought out In
the winter on exclusive gowns has be-
come a little more universal this
spring. This is the use of four-inch
empire girdles made of sequins.
They are used on light and dark
colored satin gowns. Their appear
ance on the extravagantly high-priced
French frocks proves that the slightly
high waist will remain in favor this
spring. These girdles are very at
tractive and can be made at home by
the girl who has color sense. They
should only be combined with soft
fabrics for house wear.
The sequins are iridescent and the
colors may be chosen according to the
fabric. Those of peacock green's and
blues are often used on gowns OF
white. yellow and blue satin. Those
of CRYSTALS and pearls are put on
gowns of peacock-green and black
satin. But this rule is not to be fol-
lowed. 1t is only given to suggest the
fact that it is not necessary to use
dark seauins with dark gowns and
light seauins with light gowns.

A handmade cigar fresh from the

made of good tobacco is the ideal
smoke. The old, well cured tobaccos
used are so rich in quality that many

dealer some more than other sc cigars,
but the higher price enables this fac

OF course, the baby will put on airs
If he has a cabinet all his own for
his wee garments, but no one would
blame him, for even a grown-up would
be trifle set up over so dainty flow
er-strewn wardrobe.
The necessity for a special place to
keep the tiny things goes without say
Ing. A cabinet like the one in the
sketch would prove great comfort and
convenience. A very similar one may
be purchased all ready made, with
panels of apple blossoms and gay
birds, and lining of pink MORE silk.

Two fiat boards may be put in the low

Here the man of the family may be
called upon to saw the covers In half,

LAXATIVE FOR
WOMEN FREE

There is a great difference in the
purposes to which a laxative should
be put. Tablets and pills, salts, etc.,
are usually violent purgatives or
cathartics, and altogether too power
full for the average person.
A woman at all times needs only a
mild laxative-in fact, none other is
needed by anyone, weak or strong
though they may be, for the object Is
simply to move the bowels, and If
gentle laxative will do it, what is the
use of violent one?
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin has
earned a well-deserved vogue among
women and children and old folks
people who must necessarily be care
full of what they take.

GEORGETOWN WILL
HAVE WRESTLING

Prof Maurice A Joyce, physical d.
rector of Georgetown University and one
of the best known instructors In the
wrestling game in the south. yesterday
took the first step toward forming reg
ular team of mat artists at Georgetown
by appointing William Sitterding manager
of the wrestling club The formation OF a
team in this branch of sport has been
attempted during the past three years at
the West End school, but this is the first
time that preparations have been made
for making a schedule. Work on the list
of matches will begin at once, and it is
likely that the list of December will see
a number of dates already closed.
It is certain that the Hilltop team will
meet the representatives of the navy at
Annapolis and will be entered in the in
tercity tournament which is to be held
here during the winter. Endeavors will also
be made to secure match with Virginia,
to be held locally. and another with
Princeton, to be held in the New Jersey
town. Besides these number of class
tournaments will be run off, one of which
has already been set down to take place
the evening Of December 20.
1t is from the men who compete in
these tournaments that Coach Joyce will
pick his representatives. Training will
be done in preparation for the matches
under his supervision. and no one will
be allowed to take part who is not in the
best of condition. AS there are many
in the school who have had experience in
this line of work. notable among these
being Manager Sitterding. Gaynor Nc
Quail, Kerwin, Kelly, Pallen, Murray and
Schlosser, there is every reason to be-
lieve that it will be possible TO get out
an aggregation capable of holding its own
against whatever team it completes with.
