THE PITY OF UNDERSTANDING

In the park 9 man was asleep on

Some seats distant sat another man
OF the same stamp. His own ragged
feet were stuck out In front of him,
and he contemplated them steadily, as

rose unsteadily, as If wondering where

He seemed neither amused. nos
Gcornful, nor curious. He picked up

It with the sleeve OF his coat. Then he

HOW TO LAUNDER FRILLS
Row Of BastIng Stitches Will Hold
PIalts In Position While
Washing.

Before putting in the laundry the
bne-side plated frills and frilled col
lars which are so pretty and popular
and yet so hard to "do up" run row
Of basting stitches about an inch from
the outer edge. That will hold the
plaits in position while washing and
will save time and trouble later in
ironing. This is especially true II you
are not the proud possessor Of a pat
ent plating iron.
These frills, by the way, should,
when possible, be made separate from
the blouse and buttoned. hooked or
pinned on, so that they do not have to
go often to the tub. They really do
not get dirty so quickly as the more
exposed parts Of the blouse. and they
are a great nuisance usually to wash
and iron. even with the precaution
mentioned. II you buy a ready-made
blouse with frills stitched on, It Is an
easy matter to rip them Of and supply
buttons and buttOnholes.

Manners Of the Boy.

For some reason many mothers do
not give the same attention to the
manners Of their sons as to those Of
their daughters. Yet the boys train
ing Is even more important than
those Of the girl. The majority Of
young men leave their homes shortly
after they come Of age, and many
leave before that period, and they
come into contact. into intimate asso-
citation frequently, with men who have
had but little training in the nice
ties OF life. and all too frequently
these evil communications corrupt the
good manners of the more fortunate
class. But the boy who is trained to
courtesy from his childhood can be
trusted In anv environment.

TcIstoi's BootmakIno.

Many who have never read line OF
Tolstoi know that the count, with his
peculiar notions Of work, made his
own boots. Aylmer Maude, In his
Tolstoi's biography, quotes an incident
in that connection. "As to the boots
Tolstoi made, asked a man to whom
he had given a pair and who had
worn them, whether they were well
made. Couldn't be worse was his
reply. l suspect" adds Mr.. Maude,
and the average reader will nod as
sent, that Tolstol's boot-making was
of more value as a spiritual sedative
than it was as a contribution to the
of the economic problem"

Examples Of the Frocks Worn by
Smart Women In London
This Season.

London's smart women have always
worn very decollete gowns, but this
year they have excelled all previous
records. The newest evening frocks
sRDe practically without backs, so mar
row is the line of bodice seen at each
side.
9 A favorite style is deep V-shaped
opening, the print of the v not finish
ing till 1t reaches the waist. Another
style is to have the corsage cut u
sshaped. This also displays mini
alum Of bodice and a maximum of
back.
With these gowns the decolletage
In front is proportionately low, and In
many cases not vestige of sleeve is
to be seen. AS gloves are very often
discarded the result is a decidedly
undressed appearance, and when you
have also a skirt of tight and fimsy
material with a satin underskirt some
six or eight inches shorter than the
chiffon overdress the effect is of au-
dacity.
A frock worn by a duchess at a re-
ception lately was of blue charmeuse
with a tunic of mousseline in paler
shade. The decolletage edged with a
dark fur was cut in novel way. The
square line across the front and back
was continued over the arms and
slanting down into a deep point form
ed the upper parts of the sleeve, the
under parts being formed of blue
mousseline. The shoulders and the
greater part of the arms were thus
left here. How the dress was kept In
its proper position was a mystery.
