SuperStitiOus Sewing

Superstition is rife in the workrooms
Of dressmakers. If the points of the
scissors stick into the floor when they
fall 1t is a sign that a mourning order
will shortly be sent in. 1t is a sign
that is viewed with dismay when the
season Is at its busiest and patrons are
clamoring for their clothes. Many are
the eonjectures as 10 whether IL will
be from a good customer who cannot
be denied or from one for whom ma
dame will not put aside her other
work
To upset a bowl OF pins means a
disappointment. but If only half of
them should be split the careless one
may look for a surprise. A knot in
the sewing thread signifies a gift, and
to accidentally stitch two ends to-
gether to form a circle shows that
there will be a wedding In the workers
family within year If a girl should
take up two pins together and stick
them IN before discovering what she
has done then she can at once begin
to plan out her honeymoon trip and
look over her bottom drawer" for II
is a sure sign that her own marriage
will take place shortly.
Every woman in the land from the
highest TO the lowest takes an interest
in the bride and her gowns. therefore

special charm about the snowy satins
and laces that go to make up the dress
for the great occasion. II q girl pricks
her finger ever so slightly and sees
even the tiniest speck OF blood fall on

ine-not for the stain, which often does
not show, but because IL is an omen
that the bride viii die before she has
known a years bliss of married life.
To work hair in accidentally while
sewing on a dress indicates that more
work is coming from the customer. If
a garment is continually slipping from

that show that she is holding It care

Well, the messenger who carried II

Marketing Tips

Marketing is an art 10 which many
housekeepers do not pay sufficient at

order provisions at the door or over
the telephone, but II is much more sat

the shops and select them yourself.
When choosing mutton see that the
lean is firm and bright red. The fat
should be hard and white, and the
meat should have not the faintest sug-
gestion OF a smell.
When choosing lamb see that the
lean is smooth and family pink The
fat should be quite white and should
have a crisp, light appearance.
When choosing pork see that the
piece is not overburdened with fat and

When choosing beef see that the
meat Is not too bright red and that
the grain is not OF too coarse a fiber. II
there is the least suspicion of an odor

When choosing bacon see that the
lean is firm and bright and the fat
quite white. Bacon which looks dark
has probably lain In the shop for some
time. Do not take a very large piece,
as this is apt to be coarse. A very fat
piece cooks wastefully, and very lean
one is apt to be hard when cooked.
When choosing a fowl see that the
legs are smooth and the spurs short
Old fowls have hard feet and scaly
legs. Always look with suspicion on
a fowl of which the feet have been cut
of, as the chances are that they were

WHAT KIDDIES CAN MAKE

This is the time when Willie or
Dorothy is apt to come TO mother with
the question, Tell me what to make

mother is often at a loss for an answer.

Blotters are always acceptable gifts
for u man or a woman. and the small
tots will not find them hard 10 turn

presents are 10 be found at any good

TO SOFTEN The LINE

Few skins can stand a line of dead
black or white next to them. If this
point is not studied the entire beauty
of gown and the good appearance OF
its wearer may be sacrificed. The
safest plan is. to introduce an edge Of
flesh colored tulle to break the sudden
change from skin to robe, and it must
be remembered that the pale woman
should choose a lighter shade OF tulle
than does the sister with the bru-
nette skin. Transparent yokes of
black or white are more becoming II
lined with pale pink chiffon. and If in
an evening dress Of black the idea of
solid black is to be preserved the tint
est fold Of flesh colored chiffon win
have softening effect and yet not de-
stroy the illusion OF all black.

CATS AND MILK.

Although cats are very fond Of milk
and it Is good for them In moderation,
many cats get far too much of this ar
ticIe of diet, a saucer OF it being given
to them every time they cry for it. Il
is an easy way OF feeding them, bur
one certainly not to be recommended,
as milk has a very laxative effect on
cats and often sets up obstinate diar-
rhea. A little sugar added to the milk
greatly improves the appearance of the
