stitching, or more usually of braiding.
The typical cost of this sort was
seen recently, a loose hiD-length

OF narrow self-colored braiding, about
ilVe inches below, following the collar

the same way.

have appeared as notifications of the

PICTURES ON APRONS
OF CHILDREN PLEASE

A novel idea in play aprons for chill
dren, which. viii keep them busy
through much Of a rainy day. is to
make them Of red or other bright
colored cambria and paste upon them
pictures representing nursery rhymes,
etc.
Sometimes these pictures can be
bought printed on fabric, which can
then be made up into aprons; or they
can be fastened upon the cambria b.
means of decaIcomanias.

aprons" of this sort. made so as to
cover the dress all over, there viii be
peace IN the nursery on stormy days.
In all work Of this sort It is really
important to remember the nerves of
the sensitive child, and not to imprint
pictures, such as some of those from
Little Red Ridinghood" or Blue
beard" that will frighten instead of
amuse the little one.

Why 90 people who do not eat porB;
as meat continue to use it in the form
of lard? Lard is just as indigestible as
pork. In a recent article on cooking
fats. DR.. Paige Emery. the eminent spe-
cialist, writes as follows:
The healthful and economical solu-
ton Of the cooking fat problem Is the
use Of COttolene- C'Ottolene is purely a
vegetable product. Is easily assimilated.
and aids digestion Dfetetic experiments
have shown conc.usively that when a
vegetable oil is used in cooking in pref
erence TO animal fat. it is more easily
assimilated and yields far more nour-
ishment to the BODY

economical as well, one-third less being

WOMEN ARE PRODIGAL
IN USE OF EMOTIONS
They Get Up More Steam to Surmount Mole Hill Than
Man Would If He Were Going to Cross
the Great Divide
By DOROTHY DIX.

- Me- OF the most an uEtnR-and
pathetic--of all feminine pecu-
liarities is the riotous and
prodigal manner IN which
women waste their emotions.
There isn't a woman IN the world
who is not the perpetual victim OF her
hopes and fears. her anxieties and an
prehensions. her loves and her hates.
and all because she IS so reckIessly
extraYagant OF her feeling that she ex-
ponds as many heart throbs over any
trivial matter as she would If II were

Formula
For a Soil.

Plants VIII grow well IN a soil made
up OF one part garden loan, one part
leaf mold or turfy matter, one part
coarse sand. and a fifth or sixth part
sheep fertilizer.
The proportion Of sand named may
seem large. but experience has proven
that a liberal amount Of sand brings
surprisingly good results.
Sand Hghtens the soil. makes and
keeps Il porous, allows the air 10 get TO
the roots Of the plants. and insures that
purity and sweetness which prevent
root trouble
Soils lacking in sand soon become
sour. because Of undue retention OF
water. from which defective root action
IS sure to result.
