High Waist Line Is
Adapted To Any Figure

The ingenue will naturally, and small
blame to her. make much of the simple
high-waist frock, the waistline barely
defined; while for figures Of more gen
erous proportions, what more charming
than the popular tiChu outline cut in
one with the short, straight sleeve. the
whole fashioned of some transparency
and merely mounted on a doublUre of
f'esh-toned tulle. At the raised waist
line the fiChu is Imprisoned by some
handsome embroidered or Jeweled cein-
tuTe the front aCCentuated by a great
square plaque of the broiderie intensi-
fed.
A perfectly beautiful gown arranged
after this manner was carried out in a
curious cold shade of jade green, the
straight. slightly trained underdress of
satin hemmed with swansdOwn. Over
this fell long tunic OF green marQui-
sette slightly eased as is now de
rigueur at the waist, the front slit up
in a long oval and wrought all round
the edges with a delicate gold and
copper embroidery, this widening out
round the hem to quite an appreciable
depth.
The ceinture, of course. was Of the
embroidery, the front taking a generous
upward sweep and thrown into relief on
Il background of the attn. This last
may be called by courtesy the under
bodice. albeit. il merely consisted OF a
straight piece that followed the outline
Of the bust and was gUiltless Of sleeves,
and over it was draped an almost fiat
fichu. with the regulation all-in-one
sleeves on which was repeated the
curved slit effect of the tunic, together
with the embroidery.

baby had fallen down the stairs.
But he was not there. Then Mary
noticed that the door of the bathroom
was closed. She opened 1t, and there on
the floor was the baby.
His face was black from the burnt
matches. and his dress scorched. He
was standing by the bath tub watching
the water run into the tub from the
faucet which he had turned.
Mary picked him up and hugged him
tight, she kissed his soiled little face,
and cried for joy that her thoughtless-
ness and lettering had not cost the life
of her little brother.
How ne had escaped being burned no
one will ever know. He had unfastened
the strap which held him In the chair
and fallen to the 1oor as big bruise

have crept to the table where his father
kept his pipe and matches and pulled
himself up and reached them.
His dress lad caught fire, but in some
miraculous way IL had been put out.
The curtains were thought to have
caught from the matches which the
baby lighted and threw N that direc-
ton.
Mary met her mother with a shamed
look upon her face and tearful eyes, but
they were all so thankful that the dar-
ling baby had been spared that Mary
was not scolded

Holmes dyed her hair. which was
sprinkled with gray. Her husband,

Old-FaShiOned Brush
Best To Preserve Teeth

A frequent cause OF decay Of the
teeth is the lodgment of particles Of
food, especially starches and sugars, in
the interstices and depressions.
In order to prevent this decay, which
begins very quickly in the mouth, it IS
important to brush the teeth thorough
ly after each meal The best instru-
ment for this purpose is the old
fashioned toothbrush made Of hogs
bristles, which should not be so stiff
as to injure the gums, but should be
stiff enough to remove all foreign mat
ter from between the teeth.
