After all these generations Of appeal
from the badly dressed sex that we
should dress nationally, the bifurcated
garment has at last come among us, and
this time it is sponsored by Dame Fash
ion instead of Good Sense the proba-
bilities are that it will have a better re-
ception than on its former appearances.
Curiously enough. the critics Of wom-
ems ways in dressing are not applaud
ing so loudly as they promised. The "ra-
ionalism' of the new garment is making
no strong appeal All that is discussed
is the extent OF its becomingness, and
instead of the sportsman. the clerk. and
the workman being asked for their opin-
ions as to whether the garment is a
suitable one for their sisters, great ar
lists have been giving their views on its
esthetic value. Woman is still a Spec
tacle, her own convenience in the matter
of dress is not seriously considered
Even those men who clamor loudest for
rational dress would be appalled, at the
lack of color and interest in the daily
life if women were to take them at their
word and borrow their own ideas Of
dressing.
Yet, as a matter of fact, many wom-
en- do, in a sense, dress nationally"
They do not adopt the tweed trousers
of their brothers, the russet boots and
green doublet of Rosalind, or even the
short kilt and jersey of certain pretty
English woman aviator, but would it be
RATIONAL after all to inflict on one-s
fellow-creatures the spectacle Of ankles

and betrothal festivities that novel ex-
pressions Of this delightful form of hos
pitality are constantly being sought by
the hostess who feels that the services
sources.
Fortunately, at this season the house
wife may fill the double role Of chef and
florist, provided that the majority of
edibles are of a nature to be prepared in
advance. thus leaving the hostess leisure
to arrange the flowers and give the fin
ishing touches to the table
For such an occasion a charming motif
may be selected from the fragrant, old
fashioned llacs or purple pansies used
with the tender yellow and green Of the
honeysuckle. Use. If possible. the polish
ed mahogany board without a cover,
substituting filmy lace or drawnwork
doilies. and place in the center large
French basket filed with the purple
flowers the high handle being twined
with honeysuckle and tied with huge
bow of the fragrant vine on top. Radiate
from this basket tiny streamers of pale
green and purple ribbon to each cover.
terminating with diminutive flower
baskets, also filled with blossoms and
of design similar to that in the center.
The place-cards may take the form OF
small gilded slippers, each inscribed with
the guests name and date. and contain
ing little snapshot picture OF the
bride
Use tall silver candlesticks, with green
candles. their shades of lavender crepe
paper adorned with sprays Of lilac or
pansies, and fill the compotiers with
peeled radishes. stoned olives. salted

tools. sand trays, and q wooden sand
pointer for writing inscriptions. shells
for decorating the forms. bags Of shore

None but the initiated would dream
that SO much occupation. amusement,
and valuable instruction could be deriv-
ed from such an outfit. Not only would it
be useful at the beach, but 1t would be
equally attractive in the garden. In the

THE CHARM OF A PRETTY THROAT

To possess a pretty throat Is essential
to the girl who likes to wear the collar
less blouse or dress. A favortte device
for bleaching the neck is to use lemon
paste, with the skin Of a lemon removed
and the pulp mixed with salt. After this
an application Of lanoline should be used
to remove any suarting effect and to
produce feeling Of smoothness.
An excellent concoction for whitening
the skin is ounce seed tea 1t is COM
pounded Of an ounce of thick ounce
seed tea mixed with half an ounce each
of glycerin and orange flower water.
The beauty who wished to keep her
throat from becoming wrinkled and thin
must rub almond or olive oil into the
throat toward the tip Of the chin.
To prevent the formation Of q double
chin stroke the chin upward every night
with the palm Of the hand, moistened
with warm water and simple tincture
of benzoin This acts as an astringent
upon the skin and prevents 1t from get
ting too fat.
The shoulders must be held straight

If pretty throat is required. for when
the shoulders are squared the neck has
round and beautiful lines. Those who are
troubled with hollows in the neck may
use special treatment, which consists
of every night filling up the hollows with
skin food spread on with the finger tips
and a thin layer of flannel tied round
the neck and throat 30 that the cream
is allowed to sink into the skin.
A few days of this treatment will be
found Of excellent effect and in less than
a week the neck viii begin to show a
distinct fullness. Women who are
troubled with lump at the back Of the
neck, a Disagreement which arises in
many cases from keeping the head con-
tinuously bent, go through the following
process to eradicate It:
A towel Of heavy rough crash two
yards in length is needed for the treat
ment Take the ends Of the towel in the
hand and seesaw the rough material
across the back Of the neck, working II
carefully so as not to tnjure the skin.
This exercises the fat q little. and the
treatment is repeated until the lump dis
appears.

Does any circumstances in her life
change a woman so completely as having
a grown-up daughter to chaperon? To
this point in her history she may have
been a merry and careless being. thor
oughly unconventional and happy-go-

upon her, and she must think for some
one else as she has never done for herself.

The Eton jacket has returned and has
been adopted for many of the summer
styles. 1t makes a very pretty finish for
the shirt waist suit If made Of the same
material, and gives a jacket which is
stylish and all that is necessary for the
sake Of looks on many occasions when
the heat of a wrap is not desirable.
In this model the neck is trimmed with
a large sailor collar coming well down in
front. The sleeves are in one with the
sides Of the jacket, and the front and
back form panels.
The jacket may be Of any material used
for the suit, and may be trimmed with a
silk or satin in contrast or harmony.
The pattern, 5451, is cut in sizes 80 to ~
inches bust measure. Medium size re-
quires yards of 36-inch material and

Are Your Boys Being Taught
The Value of Good Manners
Dorothy Dix Finds that the Boys in New York Do
Not Know How to Be C0nsiderate
By DOROTHY DIX.

More than that. the mothers encour-
age their sons in their selfishness and
disrespect to women and age; for I have
yet to see New York mother make her
boy get up and give his seat to an old
person or a woman. or to stand aside and
let a woman or an older person pass.
Thus are manufactured the young hood
lums who are terrorizing the city: for
from a lack of manners to a lack of
morals is a very short step indeed.
1t is a strange thing that the moth
ers> who do not think 1t worth while to
teach their boys decent manners do not
realize what a frightful mistake they are
making and how much they are handi-
Gaping their sons in life, for it is cour-
tesy and not rudeness that gets on in
this world.
Good manners are a letter of credit
that is honored at sight. Everybody
wants TO push on the fortunes of the
boy who is chivalrous to women, and
deferential to age. and respectful to
those in authority; whereas the fresh
youth" is an abonination who inspires
in us nothing but disgust and hatred and
makes US feel it is a sacred duty to give
him the hardest jolt We can.
Are You Raising Such a BOys
] put this query up to every woman
who reads this article: Are you raising
up a gentleman, or a hoodlum?
Observe your own little boy. Does he
stand and talk to ladies with his cap on?
Does he rush into a doom where there
are women visitors without speaking, or
replying when he is spoken to? Does he
sit still in his chair when elderly people
enter the room? Does he knock people
out of his way on the street? Does he
keep his seat in a street car while wom-
en- and old men stand?
If he does he is no gentleman He Is
a boor. and you are bringing up another
recruit for the ranks of the hoodlums,
and doing your part toward swelling the
crime wave.
The Washington herald., 1911-06-03
By DOROTHY DIX.

The present wave of crime in New
York is declared by the police TO be a
kid wave They say that the chief
offenders against law and order are mere
boys, generally lads scarcely out of their
teens.
Every day, If you ride on the subway.
you may see these young criminals In
the making, for you see boys who are
being brought up with no conception
of the rights if others. no reverence for
age or sex, no regard for orderliness,
and with no idea of anything but taking
what they want by their own brute
force.
Apparently Respectable Boys.
These boys are all evidently members
of respectable families. They are well
dressed, and they carry books with them
as the visible sign that their fathers
and mothers are attempting to give
them an education, and this makes all
the more conspicuous the fact that their
parents are neglecting the most impor-
tant part of their education, which is to
teach them good manners.
On the street cars you will very often
see a man rise and give his seat to
woman, or TO a man much older than
himself. You will always see some man
give a seat to a woman with a baby.
a lame woman, or an aged woman; but
! never see a boy do this.
1 have repeatedly seen young cubs sit
while gray-headed old grandmothers and
fathers swayed perilously from the straps
right in front of them.
1 have seen boys even sit and let a
woman with a baby stand.
have seen women rise and give their
seats TO old men; but 1 have never seen
a New York boy show the slightest re-
spect for age, the slightest sign Of
chivalry toward women.
The Fault with the Mothers.

at all. 1t is the mothers who do not
