The Bow in the Back.

This trimming across the back of
the hat is a feature of French mil
linery for spring. Some of the smart
est high-crowned models have no
further trimming than this band and
bow of wide ribbon or velvet, except
for a rose or cabochon cluster of small
flowers at one side of the front. These
bows at the back, be it understood, do
not droop over the hair, but are rather
stiff and conventional. with crisp loops
standing out at the sides.
Sometimes the band which encir-
cles the crown is of very wide ribbon
shirred to stiff foundation of crino-
line, and along the upper and lower
edges of the ribbon is an edge of tiny
flowers. like forget-me-nots or arbutus
blossoms. The wide ribbon is tied
simply in the regulation bow across
the back of the crown.

For Foot Comfort.

4 well-known chiropodist has given
this hint for shoe comfort: Never
wear a shoe that will not permit the
great toe to lie in straight line"
Cramping the toes not only gives
corns and bunions, but so affects the
feet that general misery follows.
Never let vanity force You into a
shoe too small; the penalty is too
steep. 1t seemed that this particular
form of Stiffness was disappearing. but
the recent action of shoe manufac-
turers insisting on the correct number
being placed in shoes, whether women
liked it or not, looks as if common
sense in footgear still bore cultivating.

SILK and Wool Gowns.

Soft and supple and silken are the
new fabrics, almost as infinite in
variety of weaves as tint, that are be-
ing made up into afternoon reception
gowns and evening demi-toilettes for
spring and early summer wear. Many
of these costumes have been ordered
for the large weddings which always
are marked social feature of that
season. In the pale grays and tans,
as we'll as in the rich, deep fruit
shades are seen some stunning high
necked and long-sleeved reception
gowns which answer equally well for
daytime and evening affairs. Many of
these are of cashmere de sole, satin
and eolienne. but faille is destined to
have a tremendous vogue, and justly
so, as it wears Indefinitely and is so
we'll adapted to the present mode of
draped and clinging effects.

DAINTY TOUCH TO UNDERWEAR
Hand-Embroidery the Best Possible
Finish for the Lingerie of the
Small Maiden.

There is no better way to finish the
little girls underwear than the edge
of dainty hand-embroidery after the
French. 1t may be but the narrowest
possible scallop or the tiniest vine or
forget-me-not dotted on at intervals. 1t
may be done in eyelet or seed or solid
stitch, but embroidery it should be
for wear with the best little gowns.

of the small underwaist should be fin
ished the same way: There is GER
tain other dainty finish for these little
nainsook garments-narrow valen-
ciennes lace-that is irreproachable.

be embroidered.

BABY'S WATERY ECZEMA
Itched and Scratched Until Blood Ran
$50 Spent on Useless Treatments
Disease Seemed IncurabIe.
Cured by cuticura for $3.50.

when my little boy was two and a
half months old he broke out on both
cheeks with eczema 1t was the itchy,
watery kind and we had to keep his
little hands wrapped up all the time,

but he gave an ointment which was so
severe that my babe would scream
when it was put on. We changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse. I was so worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that almost felt sure the disease
was incurable. But finally reading of
the good results of the Cuticura Rem
edies, I determined to try them I
can truthfully say I was more than
surprised, for 1 bought only a dollar
and a half's worth of the Cuticura
Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment

BEAUTY PATCH BACK AGAIN.
Restored to Favor in France and
England, But Not Yet Popular
in America.

The beauty patch has crept back
into favor. 1t is not uncommon to
see bright eyes enhanced with fetch
ing patch of court plaster, or attention
called to the alluring dimple by an
other bit of black.
French and English women have
been sporting the patch all winter,
but our beauties are slower to. take it
up, possibly because their looks need
less enhancing.
Fortunately, as yet the beauty patch
is confined to tiny diamonds and cres-
cents and but one or two to a face.
1t is to be hoped the time is far dis
tant when the modern belle seeks to
rival her great-great-grandmo who
used to plaster herself with all sorts
of monstrosities cut from court plas-
ter.
One fair marquise of the court of
the Grand Monarque appeared on one
occasion with a coach and four at the
corner of one eye and a knight in full
regalia TO emphasize the dimple in her
chin.
There is an art in putting on a
beauty patch, and the girl who thinks
to make herself lovelier by sticking
on bit of a'court plaster at random
has need of a course of experiments
before triple mirror.

THE SUNDAY MIGHT SUPPER
Time of All Times Where the Expert
with the Chatting Dish Can
Make Good.

Probably the most sociable meal in
the whole week is the Sunday night
supper. 1t is an informal occasion for
the dropping in OF intimate friends,
and the informally adds to its charm.
In many households the servants are
allowed to take a holiday on Sunday
afternoons, and the members Of the
family bestir themselves for supper
with the chatting dish, and perhaps the
delicatessen shop, as assistants. It is
an opportunity for experimental cook
ing with an indulgent company and
the delicious dishes that may be con-
cocted on these occasions are mani
fold. OF course, a gas stove is even
better than a chatting dish for cooking
things, but the shining metal dish
over the alcohol fame is very cheer
full looking ornament on the supper ia

SAVING PAINT MONEY

Material and Cheap Painters.

In arranging for painting, a good
many property-owners try to save
money by employing the painter who

wear and give thorough satisfaction.

Keeping Bread.

For bread box. covered stone
crock.
The bread will keep much nicer
than in tin vessel.
The crock should be placed in a
cool place.
Never put the bread in it without
covering it with a cloth, to exclude
the air.
To keep sandwiches that have been
prepared beforehand moist, wrap them
in a slightly-damp cloth
This is not practical if they are to
be kept too long, as they will get
musty.
Be careful that not a bit of butter
gets into the bread box 1t will get
rancid and make the rest of the bread
taste.
Receptacles should be scalded out
frequently, being wiped well after
ward.
The cloths used to cover the bread
