Cavalry Mounts.

Cavalry Mounts.
The question OF proper mounts for
cavalry troops stationed in the Phil
ippines division is subject which
has been taking up the time of some
of the officials at the War Depart
ment during the past few months.
No Instructions have yet been re-
ceived by army officials In Manila
as to the purchase of new mounts,
but it Is thought that the next sup
ply will be selected from American
stock and will be shipped to the Is.
lands on the Dix. "The{qyestiqH OF
superiority between tha khS 5can
and Australian horses" Said al WELL
known cavalryman yesterday, has
not yet been satisfactorily decided.
The American horses which have
been sent over here during the past
few years have been properly select
ed from sturdy stock, but the Aus
tralian horses which were sent here
were not selected with view to
their fitness for cavalry purposes.
While they were selected with view
to economy, they have not the STAN
ina for hard field service such as is
required for cavalry purposes. There
are excellent horses In Australia
which could be secured at a higher
cost but at probably less expense

DO YOU LIKE MY DRESS?

Many girls and young married women

criticisms passed by their male belong
ings about their clothes.

said a girl one day. Something al
ways seems wrong about a gown in his
eyes," Doubtless she had reason for
her complaint in many ways. but the
real secret of pleasing the average man
is to avoid the usual extremes in dress
the outrageously daring hats and the
unavailable skirts. Women ought to
have a set of rules about the personal
note in their gowns. They should study
the colors that become them, as it is
from the whole that the result, pleas
ing or otherwise is taken. Mans high
est praise Is usually 'tshe was awfully
well turned out" which means that the
object of their admiration has refrain
ed from the ultra eccentricities of fash
ion and was smart from the top Of her
well coiffured head to her trim foot
gear and also that her gloves were
neat and stylish.

A sIckRooM HINT.

Ice can be kept from melting a long
time in the sickroom by the following
method: Take an ordinary porcelain
dish. Over the top tie large square
of clean old white flannel Inside the
dish let the flannel bag down SO that
all but an inch of the bag touches the
bottom of the porcelain dish. Set as
much ice as will be needed for a time
into this flannel bag and cover it by
throwing back the long points hanging
outside the dish and cut a tiny hole in
the bottom of the bag that the Ice may
drain quickly.
Thus suspended and covered, a piece
of ice melts very slowly even in a
warm room. When a feverish patient
demands a bit every few minutes a
neat little homemade device for crack
ing silently small Jumps of ice as they
are required is made by inserting the
head of No. s needle into a good sized
cork. By merely pressing steadily the
needle against the ice 1t will quickly
split it apart.

Che Right Gay to Join Lace

OF course you can join lace in a way.
but there is a right way, just the
same, to do this work and a wrong way
of doing it. There is, too. the POSSIBLE
ity of joining lace so that it almost
conceals the joining. This is managed
in several ways, depending upon the
kind of lace and how it is used.
For yoke or other solid surface that
is to lie fiat it is better to applique the
lace together. Cut out the design ir-
regularly and join it to the under piece
so that 1t continues the pattern. The
edges are buttonholed, sewed or over
cast together. according to which stitch
shows the least. Do this with fine
thread and cut away all ragged edges.
Where lace is to be Joined for a ruffle
the best way is to buttonhole the edges
together in the tiniest possible seam
Use fine thread and do the stitching
neatly. This same method is often
used on Jokes and for thin lace is per-
haps better than appliquing. Press the
edges open on the right side between
the thumb and first finger, so it does
not quicker.
Some persons lay the edges so that
the wrong side of the left side lies for
about quarter of an inch upon the
right side of the under piece. Both
ends are then hemmed in tiny stitches.
This prevents a seam. but is almost
impossible to do without showing.
