LEMON TO REMOVE
STAIN FROM NAILS
Oxalic Acid Also Good, But
Injurious to Some
Skins.
-HERE are various preparations

-HERE are various preparations
sold by manicures to remove
stains under the finger nails.
With careful laws most of these
can be relied upon. but If there is any
doubt about a special preparation sub
stitute lerIon juice.
As a stain remover 1t is excellent, and
the woman who keeps half lemon on
the stationary washstand, where she
washes her hands, rarely will have to
blush for the unsightliness of her nails.
Oxalic acid is also good, but is injuri-
Gus TO some skins. 1t should be applied
with a bit of cotton on the end of an
orangewond stick In using the lemon
the tips of the fingers can be rubbed
into section of 1t. Later rinse well
with clear water.
Stains on the sides Of the fingers are
quickly removed with a moist pumice
stone. This is invaluable to get eff the
first blotches after preserving, painting,
or doing any disfiGuring work. In cases
where the skin under the nails has
roughened a little, powdered pumice can
he moistened with lemon Juice and ap-
piled with all orangewood stick.
Never scrape away stain: il rough
ems both cuticle and nail and becomes a
dirt catcher rather than dirt remover.
Soaking the tips of the fingers in olive
oil will help to keep the skin about the
nail in good condition.

Suffering From Chilblains.

Worried-YOu ask what brings chill
blains and there is only one answer
to the question: Cold weather. They
might be called a "recurrent frost
bite" due. some foot-doctors say. to
a retarded circulation. The only re-
lief from them is to wear. during the
period when the chilblain occurs,
snow, a soft loose shoe, so that when
the swelling begins, as it invariably
does, there will be no pressure to
cause further trouble. Go to a good
chiropodist and have a tight closely
woven bandage put around your foot
This should always be done If the
chilblain testers. which is often the
case.

Brocades Come Back;
Again Are Fashionable

With all the beauty of other days and
the suppleness of this seasons fabrics
the brocades have come back into the
fashionable realm and are deservedly
occupying first place.
They are very much favored in Paris
Indeed, they are now used for the
princess slips, over which are draped
tunics and veiIings of net, chiffon OF
lace.
Wonderful effects are shown in col
ors through which is run gold or sill
yer thread. Tapestry effects shot with
beautiful colors and metallic threads
are used for the newest fur-trimmed
evening wraps, says an exchange.
Brocaded velvets are very much in
evidence. They are combined with sat
ins, laces and fur and are made into
hoods, wraps, evening gowns and slip
pers. Perhaps the prices of these beau
tiful materials are a trifle high, but they
are wide, and one yard is certainly more
effective on a gown than two Of the
usual trimming.

DAILY FASHION TALK TO READERS or THE TINES
Two Dainty Designs for
Girls Who Are
Clever.

LAVE you ever stopped to notice a
group Of girls, at dance, in their
pretty frocks? Most people would ap-
prove the one who wore the simplest
design. 1t seems very fitting, this sea-
son, that the young girls are leaving
the more elaborate models for their
mothers and older sisters, while they
select simple designs, usually worked
out in chiffon, net or very soft silk.
The shops are now displaying beautiful
materials and combinations, wonderful
in effect, and, while passing by, one is
seized with a desire to have a dress of
each.
The figure illustrated on the right
shows a dainty design, which the girl
who makes her own clothes would find
very easy to handle. 1t is made of
fiowered wash wolfe, in a rose design,
with plain band Of satin in a deep
rose color at the bottom of the skirt,
and which also makes the yoke and up
per part OF the sleeve. The guimpe is
made of Brussels net.
The frock closes-in the back, and has
a lining with high or round neck, and
two-piece full-length sleeves which are
perforated for three-quarter length. The
yoke and upper part of the oversleeves
are cut in one. TO which the shirred
under section is attached. The broad
band at the bottom of the skirt is
slightly circular in shape and confines
the fullness of the upper part OF the
skirt Ladies' Home Journal Pattern
1913 is cut in sizes 16, II, IS and 20
years Another suggestion for making
would be to have the body of the dress
of fiowered net in pink motif over a
lining of messaline in lavender with
rather a pinKish tinge through ii. The
yoke and the band on the skirt would
be OF the messaline and the yoke and
undersleeVes OF all-over lace.
Nothing surely could be daIntier or
prettier for a dancing frock than the
design on the left. 1t is made OF soft
yellow satin, veiled with white silk mar
quisette. with the design carried out in
white porcelain beaded banding The
trimming. in yoke effect, is also worked
out in white porcelain beads on the
material. The crushed girdle and sash
are Of the same satin as the underdress,
though a soft double-faced satin ribbon
might also be used.
1t is the simplest thing possible to
make, as the waist is cut in one with
the overseeve. with a seam on the
shoulder and three tucks in front. The
shaped trimming band, on the waist. is
applied in yoke effect, but if desired,
this could be omitted. The skirt is very
simple, cut in three cores and slightly
gathered at the waist. There is a sepa-
rate guimpe. with standing collar. and
full-Ieugth lining and nousquetalre
sleeves, but, for a dancing frock, the
guimpe might be omitted. This is La
dies Home journal Pattern 5S07. and is
cut in sizes 16 II. IS and 20 years.
II an inexpensive dress is desired.
white net could be substituted for the
marQuisette, and, for the underdress,
pretty silk null or Jap silk might be
used to good effect. 4 pretty fiowered
dinity or dotted swiss would be very
charming. made after this design.

How to Make Green

per was served under the auspices OF

Spring Cabbages Here
From Florida Points

Early spring cabbages, the first of the
season, were received in the market
this morning from Florida. New York
cabbage and lettuce that has held sway
all winter must now yield precedence
TO Florida. Eggplant is still very
scarce. Beans are little strong on the
market today, but increased shipments
are expected by tomorrow morning.
Fruit shows no change in the last two
weeks except for a slight rise in the
price of apples. Tangerine oranges have
reached the end of their season, and
few are to be found on the market.
New potatoes are being received in
slightly increased shipments, but no re-
duction from first prices has yet been
made.
Poultry holds steady. Commission
dealers are looking for a general fan in
the prices of vegetables this week.
<gs and butter will doubtless be more
affected by the warm weather of the
last two weeks than anything else on
the market.

No, like the North in the summer
time" said the robin. Next he took
Betty to an orange grove. where the
trees were in bloom and the air filled
with the perfume of the blossoms.
Wait" said the robin, and you
shall pick the fruit. Watch the trees"
And slowly out of the white blossoms
Betty saw a golden yellow appear: It
grew larger, until the white waxen
flowers were gone, and in their place
were large misunderstanding oranges.
Now you can pick them," said the
robin. Betty picked one and away 1t

and ran after II, but just as she had
her fingers on it away it rolled again.
1T is time to CO." said the robin, and
up they few. .'oh! my Toses!", said
Betty. Il must fly back and get them"
AS she flew away from the robin she
felt herself go swiftly through the air.
and then she jumped and found herself
sitting in the chair by the window where
her mother had put her. Out on the
limb of the tree sat the robin singing
as though he would never tire.

things which I saw in my dreams. 1

Gorgeous Robe Gift
Of Baroness Uchida

Baroness Uchida, wife of the Japa-
nese ambassador, has sent to an old
friend in New York a lounging robe of
cream crepe, lined with silk in golden
hue and embroidered in butterflies and
humming birds.
IL is SO fine It could be folded in the
CT own of ones hat and not disarrange
the coiffure, yet 1t can serve several
practical purposes for travelling, as well
as for lounging.
The baroness gave crates of pretty
bags at Christmas, mostly intended for
delicately hued gowns, and made most
ingeniously. These bags are embroid-
cred, and one girl says the affair is too
fine entirely to hang out Of sight in a
wardrobe.
