The edge of the skirt was turned under
forming an inch-wide hem, and the
fiounce, hemmed on the bottom. was beau
tifully cut and fitted under the hem OF
the skirt. For tall figure this would be
a very becoming style.
Another skirt Suiting a stout or Shor,
figure looked quite old timey. for there
was an inverted box peat down cente,
front. 1t was very shallow and was little
more than d slot seam.
The rest of the skirt was plain and the
only noticeable new feature was the addi-
ton of groups of buttons trimming the
pleats down the front. II would therefore
be quite easy to bring one of these old
fashioned skirts up to date.

1t must De admitted that the few ad-
vanced models in spring suits are prac-
tical, and while the directoire influence
Is apparent the notifications of this
rather trying style in garments is so per
fected that the latest modes may be safe
ly attempted even by the average woman.
She who would turn resoiutely away
from the directoire as we have seen it dur
ing the past season will have no hesta-
ton whatever in adopting this style in its
new form.
The plain skirt has evidently come to
stay, at least until thinner fabrics prove
impracticable for such development and
the four-gOred one is the newest type.
This means that the cores will be wider
at the top, giving less flare at the bottom
than the usual many gored models.
Thus it will be seen that skirts are still
clinging, though not extremely so. They

the cores at about tlOunce depth are 50
cut that the last extends some inches over
the widths next to It, and these widths
overlap the next ones and so on. The
seams are sometimes seWed outside-that at

ion-and again they overlap with a mar
row strapping. 1t may be stated that
much of the narrow strapping short
tab straps is in evidence on d number of
the new models.
Buttons Are Fashionable Trimming.
Buttons. too, are still holding their own
as decoration, but are smaller THAN
those used last season and generally ar
buttons (bone) in groups hold down the
extension to the next width, while in some
instances they are dispersed in groups

Stop Thumb SuCkinu.

Some doctors look with anything but
diSfavor on the habit of thumb sucking
They argue that the thumb is an excel
lent gum stick, carrying no danger of be-
ing swallowed or choking the child All
this is very true. but. on the other hand,
there are cases when the thumb itself is
injured by the childs trick Especially
is the liability to injury great when the
knuckle of the thumb is placed in the
mouth, the thumb being bent The re-
peated suction in such cases is apt to give
rise to infiammatory swelings on the
joint. One way of breaking the child of
the habit is by smearing on the part a
little paste of aloes and water. Any
ehemist will make this up.-Home Notes.

Seeing and Thinking.

Most people see an object when they
think of il. They can see before their
eyes seometric drawing or the figures
on a chessboard when they think of them.
In order to think at all most men make
use of images, though they may be of diff
ferent kinds. Thus. one man when he
thinks of Italy" sees just the printed
word: another sees the country's outline
on man: another may see the country
spread out before him. with lis villages
and towns smoldering in the plains. Psy-
choIosists are beginning to classify the
different aids images of which men
make use. Some for example. hear the
words of their thought within themselves;
others read them, if the words were
written generally in black on white

Rest Keeps Wrinkles
From a Woman'S Skin

All cosmetics and toilet applications will
be useless to woman If she does not taae
care of her skin and health, for without a
energy she will be wrinkled and lined,
and her hair will be prematurely gray.
Rest, at some time and under some con-
dition, is imperative each day. No per-
son who lives an active life gets enough
repose through the night to supply her
with enough energy for the sixteen hours
or more of her day. The veriest tyro

The saloon business Is a nuisance

virtue or redeeming features. The

that will be satisfactory to them. Bet.

The Moore liquor bill is rightly named
but Is misspollcd. II should be the

that this, bill will pass the House
would be an insult to the Hawaiian
people.
These are a few OF the uttcranccs nj
