Blouse or Shirt Waist.

The shirt waist that closes at the
left of the front is pronounced
favorite of the season, and this one
allows of treatment of various sorts.
In this case it is made of linen and
the closing is made invisibly. a
more elaborate embroidery pattern
could be used, however, or washable
braid, soutache or one of the round
sorts, could be applied over stamped
design, or the waist could be finished
with an undertaking and made plain
er, just as liked. Or again. it could
be under-faced and banding applied
within the edges. All wasting ma
terials are appropriate, and all those
that are used for simple gowns, for
waists made in this style are just as
we'll liked for batiste and lawn as they
are for linen and poplin. Pongee Is

casions of the sort, too, and pongee

shoulders and stitched to the depth
of yoke at the front, to the waist

Look to the Eyes.

Eye strain produces many physical
ills that are not usually. charged to
the proper account. Strain of the
eye often results in nervous exhaus-
ton, indigestion, headache and back
ache. Authority for this statement
is to be found in a recent article by
DR.. Luther H. Gulick, director of
physical training in the public schools
OF New York. 1t is this mans be-
lief that third of the children in
the higher grades of school and a
fourth of all educated persons are
afflicted with some disability due to
strain of the eye. The relation be-
tween vision and health is so close
that If the former becomes deranged
a variety of evil consequences may
follow. The moral to be drawn from
DR.. Gulick's article is that men
should be careful of their eyes and
on the first suspicion of arrangement
or irregularity submit themselves to
professional examination and advice.
No chances should be taken in optic

Neckwear Novelty.

A novelty in neckwear that could
be fashioned from scraps, if one is
willing to give time and patience to
the task, consists of strip of velvet
(black) an inch or more wide, of
sufficient length to fit the neck close
ly. In the front this band should
support loop of flowers, tiny roses
made from small pieces of silk sewed
to stem. made from cord covered
with green silk. In the middle of
the loop the stem is twisted into a
bowknot. A millinery cavalier should
best describe this pretty little Access
sorry. 1t is intended for wear with
frocks cut in Dutch neck fashion.

In the Others Shoes.

There is no such thing as working
with another person unless we look
at things from that others stand
point. And we must recognize at the
outset that his standpoint is not our
own. Therefore the thing we most
need to have in mind in any attempt
at helpful, effective cooperation, is
the necessity of thinking chiefly
about the other fellow, making it our
business to get into his shoes, so to
speak. in order that we may at least
be on common ground to begin with.
In that may only have we any hope
of bringing him to our way of think
ing. If indeed that is the desirable
goal. And we may find, when we see
things as he sees them, that his
ground is a better standing-place
than our own. - Sunday School

we'll liked for the odd waist, so that
it serves a great many uses. Hair
lined striped serge is the material il
Illustrated, and the trimming is band
ing of plain color to match the stripe,
but while great many blouses and
suits of that material are used for
the cooler days, washable materials
are exceedingly attractive made after
this style, and the heavier linens, soft
finished piques and the still thinner
lawns and batistes are quite correct.
The blouse is made with fronts and
back. 1t is tucked over the shoulders,
the tucks extending for full length
at the back, to yoke depth at the
front. The front edges are finished
with hens and the sailor collar is
joined to the neck edge. The sleeves
are slightly full and gathered into
straight cuffs. The shield is quite
separate and when used can be
finished with standing collar or
without as preferred. 1t is adjusted
under the blouse and attached be-
meath the sailor collar.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and
three-fourth yards twenty-four or
twenty-seven, two and three-eighth
yards thirty-two, or one and seven
eighth yards forty-four inches wide,
with one-half yard of silk for bands.

small property was transferred by a

The Hardy Sex.

ir Is notorious that the female
human animal is tougher than the
male. Consider the way women
dress. If you put a man into an
open-work blouse on a cold day he
would catch chill and be dead in
three days. If you sent a man out
to dance on winter evening with
nothing on his neck and shoulders
and no sleeves to his arms he would
probably die on the spot-of shock.
