THREE CASH PRIZES ARE OFFERED FOR
THE CORRECT SOLUTION OF PUZZLE

A long time ago Washington women
proved to me that nothing pleased them
SO much as fussing and fuming over a
locoed list of something or other, partic-
ularly when this something or other
people.
So 1 am giving you a puzzle to-day
about buildings, places. and folks, that
are as familiar to every woman in this
city as the nose on her face
The first number of the locoed list, for
example, is the center of the city's in
terest, both socially and politically.
Number two is first in the hearts of art
lovers. Number three-well, now, must
not go on with this description or you
will find the solution Of the puzzle entirely
too easy.
A puzzle contest has been added to this
page, largely for your amusement and
recreation.
Three cash prizes are offered to make
sure Of having your answers sent to me-
You see, am up to your tricks.
know how many of you work over such
a puzzle, only to tuck 1t away in your
desk somewhere and not let me see how
clever you are at all.
Well, if you do that this time. you will
not receive one of the cash prizes, which
are worth considerable.
The shop windows are surprisingly
beautiful with spring doings of every de-
scription.
The 8 which is offered as first prize in
the puzzle contest will buy those lovely
long white gloves you have been needing
for some time, for instance.
The most nearly correct solution of
the puzzle will be awarded s.; the Sec
ond most nearly correct solution, 2, and
the third most nearly correct solution, 81.
The Washington herald., 1911-03-26

The solutions win be considered in the

ington loco. let me tell you something
that will encourage you IL you cannot
get every number Of the puzzle untangled

So send me your solution, even If you
are forced to leave quite a number of the
names blank.
Yours may be Just as nearly correct as
your next door neighbor's, who may
have told you already that she is "sure
of them ALL
1t has been my experience that the
puzzle solvers who declared the loudest
that a puzzle was easy" that they were
sure of every number" &c, were the
ones who sent in the most incorrect So
lutions.
OF course it's all for fun, any way. but
If you win few dollars the incentive to
work on the tangle will be all the greater.
would suggest to those who have
asked me for novel means of entertain
ing guests throughout the week that they
use the In and Around Washington"
puzzle.
I 1t will be particularly attractive to a
party of young folks, or for some little
at-home where the company is congenial.
All Washington women are Washing
ton enthusiasts, so that no one can fail
in an appreciation of this distinctively
Washington puzzle.
In writing your answer to the puzzle,
number each one, and write them on only
one side of the paper. 1t will not be
necessary to write out the names in
jumbled state-the puzzle itself. The an

By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

Everybody is talking about the harem
skirt Some proclaim it scandalous, while
others are equally as enthusiastic in its
defense
Harry Furniss. the celebrated London
illustrator. declares that everything about
it is good except the name.
"It is the most conventional wide skirt.
not the trouser skirt, that is scandalous." T"
he adds. TT is a matter of history that
Eastern potentates were wont to dress
their concubines in skirts thus to dis
tinguish them from virtuous women
who wore garments much like the trouser
skirt of to-day, miscaIled the 'harem
skirt
Thus the wide skirt that the prudes
think the symbol of all that is modest
and chaste is the real, the original harem
skirt
Partisan society is amused at the
American woman's Interpretation of the
style and not without reason. The va
riety seen on Broadway the other day is
similar to the wide trousers worn by the
Annamite women-the real pantaloon
covered by a blouse in three-quarter
length, which is not at all the beautiful

reproduced on this page to-day. are suffi-
cient evidence that the Parisienne has

upon the prevailing sensational style.
modifying it until it neither offends the
rules of decency nor attacks the beauty
of woman.
The styles of the iute pantaloon are so
many and varied as to cause much specu-
lation. 1t is certain that few women
would have the courage to become the
observed of all observers by wearing the
variety of this eccentric fashion seen in
some of our American cities.
On the other hand women might adopt
some of the models shown in Partisan
shops with good common sense and at
no sacrifice of modesty.
One sort of the pantaloon skirt seems
to have been borrowed from the Oriental
gowns. 1t is pulled above and gets
tighter beneath till it forms reals trous-

HANDWORK Is NOTE
OF SPRING MODELS
Embroidery Decorates in
countless Way.
FRENCH KNOTS MUCH SEEN
Most of the Newest Blouses Are OF
the Simplest StyIes-The Kimono
Pattern Is the Design Most Used.
Wash Beads in Vogue, Worked Out
japanese Embroidery.

Handwork is the dominant note on
many Of the spring models. So convin-
cingly beautiful are they that one Is
constrained to thread a needle to en-
broider or decorate in the countless ways
that characterize the new models.
Voile and marquisette are perhaps the
newest forms in which lingerie blouses
appear. The cool durability of these
open-mesh fabrics is appealing to the
one who is planning an outfit for sum-
mer.
Most Of the newest blouses are Of the
simplest styles. The kimono blouse is the
pattern most generally used. 1t is made
collarless for those who have pretty
throats-and the courage of their convic-
tions- This same type can be worn with
adjustable guimpes.
Hand Embroidery on Blouses-
Hand embroidery on lingerie blouses can
be done in many ways. The square
meshes form excellent guide lines for
straight conventional patches Of different
colored threads.
A cream voile with a yoke outlined in
three shades of blue, for instance, is a
delightful color scheme. Tan, golden
brown, and yellow are good tones to COM
bine on ecru marquisette. Red, too, in
small dots. graduated in size, forms a
very effective decoration for white
blouses.
Cross-stitching, to form little flowers
or conventional forms. is easily applied
on these square meshes. This method of
decoration is most effective when two
or three different colors are combined to
give the effect of the German embroidery
or old-time samplers.
French Knots Elective.
French knots are another effective way
to decorate the spring and summer
blouses. They wash easily and are ca
pable of being quickly made by the anna
teur.
Another idea on the same line is the
making of loops Of colored thread Both
French knots and the loops can be
grouped to fill spaces that are outlined
to represent petals of large flowers.
This effect, that after all is an imita-
ton of beadwork, leads US to the mode
of decoration that promises to be car
ried on through the coming seasons.
Wash Beads Used.
Wash beads are used. and the designs
are worked out in Japanese, French, and
Bulgarian embroidery. The combination
of beadwork with lace motifs is very
pronounced.
Filet lace waists are appearing. Short
sleeves and low collars characterize these
simple little overblouses, that are to be
worn over colored blouses or printed silk
muslins.
Silk. voile, marquisette, aIl-over lace,
and figured chiffons are used in the
waists that are for more dressy occasions.
They are decorated with beads, braid,
and hand embroidery
The lingerie blouse is to be just as i'm
portant as II ever was-only more so.
1t is a powerful little thing. 1t makes
one skirt serve for the foundations OF
many dresses, and you may be sure that
clever women will greet the new models
with enthusiasm.

THE BEDTIME STORY
Published for the Thoughtful Mothers to the Little
Folks While They Are Being Tucked Into Bed
HERBERT'S BAD HABIT.

Il shall work all the better for it" So
he stretched himself on the grass and
went to sleep.
He did not wake until almost dinner
time. After dinner he said to his mother:
Il think l won't begin my hen-coop to-
day. If 1 wait until next Saturday I
shall have a whole day before me. 1 can
do 1t all in a day." His mother said
nothing
When next Saturday came, several
things had happened. All the chickens
had been Matched; every egg had had a
dear live chicken inside. There was no
coop ready to put the anxious mother in.
She tried to run after her chickens as
they ran this way and that, over the
stable floor. One ran into the horses
stall; the hen was nervous, she did not
get out of the way quick enough; down
came the hoof on her head All the
twelve little chickens were left mother
less. for the hen fell dead.
As Herbert stood looking at the poor
hen, his eyes filled with tears His face
grew very red. "Oh, dear" he said to
himself. ''if / had only made that coop,
this wouldn't have happened"
The Washington herald., 1911-03-26

Il think it time you began your hen.
COOP" said Herbert Crandall's mamma
to him one Saturday in May.
''Oh, I don't think I'll begin 1t to-day,
said Herbert.
THE chickens will be Matched very
soon,' suggested Mrs. Crandall. "You
want to be ready for them
'Oh, I'll be ready in time" answered
Herbert.
But why not begin it now, at once 90
asked Mrs. Crandall.
II don't know" replied Herbert
'T do" said his mother.
Herbert laughed. He was a good-na-
tured boy, but had a very bad habit.
He was always putting off everything.
He knew that that was what his mother
meant She often said him: -"Oh, Her.
bert, do not put Off till tomorrow what
you can do to-day" And Herbert would
sometimes laugh and say, But mamma,
dear, why should do to-day what / can
just as well do Tomorrow"
Out in the barn his big brown hen was
sitting on twelve eggs. As his mother
had said, the chickens might be Matched
any day. He was to build a coop to keep
the hen in when her little ones were run
ming about the yard.
Perhaps 1 will begin II to-day" said
Herbert, and then he went out of doors
1t was a lovely morning in June, al
most as farm as july. II looked so cool
and pleasant over by the pond that Her
bert thought he would stroll over there
before he began his work.
When he got there. the walk across the
fields made him very warm. IT guess

BRAID THE FAVORED
FOR SUIT TRIMMING

In nearly all the new suits the favored
trimming is braid, especially the wide
braid, which sometimes forms the collar.
cuffs, and revers, and trims the skirt as
well. Panels of braid coming down the
front and back of the jacket, and con-
tinued in the same way on the skirt, are
distinctly the thing.
Marrow braid is also very smart, es-
pecially when worked out in ornamental
designs on the skirt and coat.
touch of color is added by Oriental
embroidery on the collar, sleeves, and
revers. There is merely hint Of this,
and it is not allowed to become too prom
inent in the color scheme.
Buttons are also very much in evidence,
some of them of the same color as either
the suit or the trimming, or as both, and
some of them silver or gilt. These latter
are very small, quite tiny in fact
In general. however, the new suits, ex-
cept the elaborate satin ones, are rather
plain, comparatively little trimming of
any sort, outside of braid, being seen.

HAREM SKIRT OF PARIS
is A FAR CRY FROM THE
TYPE SEEN ON BROADWAY

ers, fixed with narrow straps around the
ankles. This skirt reminds one of the
barbaric epochs, when women were kept
in harems and left to amuse themselves
eating bonbons. This impression is ac-
centuated by the short boieros, en-
broidered and cut round.
A famous Partisan designer shows a
style of pantaloon skirt that might be
bility and without a shadow of in
decency.
The trousers of this model are wide
and successfully hidden by two pleats,
one of them being put on in front, the
other in the back, so that one scarcely
notices the pantaloon in walking. 1t
has much the effect of the riding skirt
and is eminently sensible.
The model shown in the Rue de la
Paix was developed in middle blue serge
Both pleats were braided with black
silk tresse below. A small bolero was
designed to wear with this skirt, orna-
mented in the same way as the skirt
displaying black lack belt A cherry
silk corsage furnished a pleasing color
note which gave the dress a lively ap-
pearance-
1t must have been some such variety
Of the harem skirt as shown in the Rue
de la Paix that inspired DR.. Belle ].
Mcdonald, of New York, a member of
the committee of public health of the
American Womens Medical Association
20 make his defense of the harem skirt
from hygienic standpoint Frankly"
says DR.. Mcdonald, II am delighted
with this newest Importation, the harem
skirt From the standpoint of hygiene,
it is a capital innovation. In the first
place the trouser-like division gives per-
Feet freedom of movement. But more
important than that, the harem skirt will
not drag going down steps, as even short,
tailor-made skirts are liable to do.
Thus the wearer viii be freed from
the collection of germs. dust, and mud
that is bound to gather along the bot
tom of an ordinary skirt. Also on wet
DAYS the ankles will be protected from
the chill caused by damp skirt rubbing
against them. II all the women adopt
the harem skirt. l believe they will be
much healthier"

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
WORTH KNOWING

When making pieces of hand embroid-
cry try adding a mark Of your own.
Small cross stitch designs are pretty and
not too noticeable.
When sewing on the machine. If the
thread breaks easily. soak spool and all
in water for about two minutes. This
rule applies to any quality OF thread.

HERE ARE SIMPLE
RULES OF HEALTH

Half the ills from which women suffer
are due to defective circulation. Restrict
ed by tight clothing and not stirred by
vigorous exercise, the blood becomes
sluggish and waist accumulates, all OF
which means congestion and lowered vi
tality.
The chief aim of the women who feels
run down. especially If she suffers from
cold hands or feet, is to stir-her circu-
lation- The practice of making the blood
flow more quickly by a hot drink is
purely temporary.
Deep breathing exercises before an open
window will quickly get one in a glow,
so will a brisk rub with cold water or
brisk walk.

RUBBER PLANT Is
EASY TO RAISE

There is nothing easier than the rubber
plant to raise. Give it plenty of light
and wash the leaves with soapy water
occasionally and wipe them always with
damp cloth So they are clean from
dust and able to breathe freely.
Wet the earth we'll, but not enough to
rot the roots. That is the trouble with
rubber plants and ferns.
The owners of these plants are ever
and always wetting them, and make
the roots decay with too much water.
They must have enough to drink and
good large pots to grow in, also the
leaves refreshed and cleaned so they can
breathe freely, after which they require
no more care.
