Asst year the death rate in the
Il United States was probably the
lowest ever known. 1t certainly was
less than the mortality Of any other
year since vital statistics have been
collected in a sufficiently large part of
the country to indicate clearly the
general state Of the public health.
In 1909 the death rate in states and
cities which contain more than half of
the population Of the United States
was almost exactly Is to every thou
sand persons living. 1t was not quite
one in the thousand below the aver
age mortality rate Of the preceding
Ave years. The fraction was nine
tenths. That means nine lives in
every $1,000 of the population. 1t is
900 in every million inhabitants. or
$1,000 in 5000, 600.
Tho cutting down of the death rate
enough to save 81, 900 lives in a year

at once withdrew. 1t was decided to
return all subscriptions and call the

made, pique, and, indeed, almost all
the simpler washable materials, while
the model also can be used for the
woods of immediate wear. Plaid wool
material with trimming of black vel

tive and suits the design admirably
well. Blouse and skirt portions are
separate and are joined beneath a
belt. The pleats over the shoulders
give becoming breadth and the pleats
at the back and sides of the skirt
mean graceful fulness.
The dress is made with blouse and
skirt portions, which are joined and
closed at the left of the front. The
skirt is straight and the sleeves are
made in one piece each.

To Appear Well Gowned

Use hairpins, visible, invisible ard
all kinds.
Wear net or thin veil to keep in

Cleanse your face with cream every
night before going to bed.
Keep your shoes polished and don't
allow the heels to become run over.
Wear immaculate neckwear, a
clean shirtwaist and gloves without
holes.
Don't allow the public glimpses OF
soiled white skirt or shredded silk

Don't display a hole in your stock
ing right above your heel when you
hold up your dress.
Don't go around with soiled nails
or nails that are as vindictively long
as mandarins.
Don't wear your collar pins awry,
and don't forget to sew on missing
buttons.
Don't wear veil with slit across
the face, and don't wear one at al!
unless you can adjust it neatly.

How to Wash Lace.

Except where the lace is mace UP
with colored material and 1t becomes
advisable to try cleaning, washing Is
more satisfactory. and many kinds OF
lace will emerge nearly as good al
new. To begin with, make necessary
repairs, else there is danger of small
holes becoming large ones. For the
washing make a lather by shreddine
plain, white soap into boiling water,
and when this has somewhat cooled
dip the lace in, moving 1t up and
down and pressing and half squeezing
It until the dirt is out. Avoid any
rubbing, for the delicate threads snap
easily. Rinse in several tepid waters.
For ironing use soft blanket folded,
several times and covered with soft
white material, lay the lace on this,
right side down, and turn the white
covering up over it. Press lightly
with moderately hot iron until fair
ly dry, then iron the wrong side OF
the lace itself, keeping the edges in
good shape, threads straight, ETC., I'm.
til quite dry. Should the lace be in
length, it may be wound around q
bottle or jar, the edges being pulled
out during the winding, and the ends
secured by small pins, then left to
dry. A collar should be spread out
on a towel. each point pinned down
in its proper place; the towel may be
Lung up by two corners and the collar
laces which need no stiffening should
always be treated by this method
