Use of Velvet in
Home Dressmaking

A professional gives the following sug-
gestions for the benefit of the home
dressmaker who Is DESTROYS of trying her
skill in fashloning q gown of velvet or
velveteen:
THE first point with velvet or velvet
cen is to ascertain the correct lie of the
pile This with some makes is little
bewildering by touch, but can easily be
done by sight; the safest way is to hold
the material up against one and look
down on it, when it should shade dark.
There is a marked contrast in the shade
as the piece Is turned up or down. so there
cannot be the least indecision as to which
side UP gives the dark shade. This
cotton. and vigorously used as the top
when placing the various parts OF the
pattern In position for cutting out. With
velvet, too, any cutting double Is out OF
the question. each piece being cut sep
araAely. once for the left and once for the
right side. j..
This weighty point being considered,
any method by which marking OF the pile
can be avoided must next be decided
These. are. three in number. In the first
place, use steel pins or needles in place
of the ordinary wire pins; secondly, use
silk instead Of cotton entirely, for tack
ing especially. and. thirdly. when any
hand work becomes necessary. as In

velvet pile outward, over the first finger
of the left hand, like a cap. reaching
to the first joint. In this way the neces-
sary pressure against the finger in work.
ing will do no harm, as pile will press on
pile.
"The point which now remains to be
considered is the all-important treatment
of the seams. To begin with. velvet
should always be stitched with the pile,
not against 1t. This practically results
in the necessity for beginning all seams
at the bottom and stitching upward-just
the opposite to the usual method in such
things. Then comes the pressing-to
most people the crux Of the matter, and
certainly the most obvious. But it is
quite easily accomplished when one knows
the way. All one has to do is to get q
hot iron;-hotter than would ordinarily be
used-aHd prop 1t bottom upward on the
table Heavy books or small boxes an
swer admirably as props. the surface of
the iron coming just above them (of
course, one must only use rubbishy books,
which will not be damaged by a little
heat. Then open the seam with the fin
gers, lay on the iron and draw across 1t
several times. pressing it downward all
the time. In this way the seam will get
admirably pressed, with no danger of
marking the pile. OF course, should a

ing before the fire. but it is ever so much
better, besides being less trouble. to
avoid marking in the first place. Any
one following these simple rules can
make up velvet or velveteen just as easily
as serge-it is only matter Of knowing
the way"

Household Hints.

When cleaning fish use a pair Of old
scissors for cutting of fms, tail and slit
ting. Saves time and nerves.
Cinders which have been sifted from
the ashes will make a hot fire if they
are slightly sprinkled with water before
they are burned.
II cakes are kept in a large stone jar,
instead Of the usual can, they will re-
main fresh and moist much longer.
When they slightly burn by cooking, do
not disturb while warm, or the burnt
flavor will penetrate, but wait till per-
fectly cold, then remove the burnt part
with a cheese crater.
After shirt waists are ironed put them
on waist hangers to keep them in shape
and hang these on the broom or other
stick suspended from two chairs.
White silk should never be hung in the
sun. and when 1t has been rendered yell
low by this means it should be washed
again and hung in shady place. and in
the water should be placed little tur-
pentine.
If chops and small steaks are placed
in tin pie plates and set on top of the
UTOluuS SIdIe tHey CdH ue wei cooked
and the tin plates will be much easier
cleaned than the broiler CRATE would be-.
To make bean-pot roast cover three
pounds Of chuck steak with boiling
water. Place cover on the bean pot and
cook in moderate oven two hours. Add
one cup carrots and one cup potatoes,
cut fine, one-fourth cup sliced onion and
two teaspoons salt. Cook until done, re-
moye to platter thickened with two
tablespoons -four.
Mix one and one-half cups Of milk and
one-half cup Of very strong coffee for

six tablespoons of powdered macaroons.
and bake until custard is set. Cover

Aid to Digestion.

Lobster salad and picked pork may
be eaten without fear of indigestion IL
the juice of a pineapple be taken after
ward. Use it instead of pepsin and
other artificial aids to digestion.
Ripe pineappies contain a pepsin fer
ment known as bromeline. which pep
tonizes meat and all peptonizable food.
The juice of this fruit taken after a
meal soon reduces what has been eaten
to within easy reach Of the gastric func-
ton.
The fruit should be eaten very ripe.
The juice Is then also a tonic and
strengthens the heart. The fibrous part
should not be swallowed. Boiling de-
stroys the peptone. Canned pineapple Is
usually boiled. and hence 1t is useless
incidentally.

BUG IN MANS STOMACH.

of Appendicitis DISAPPEARED.

NEW YORK, January 13.-For' a long
time it was supposed that Floyd Mccoy
Of Orange, n. j., was suffering from
Chronic" appendicitis. Now he knows
1t was only q bug. But. of course, he
had to be operated on before this discov-
cry was made at the Orange Memorial
Hospital a few days ago.
And McCoy's little visitor was taien
alive. Mccoy worked formerly on a
fruit plantation in the tropics. 1t is
assumed he got the bug then; that 1t
crawled into his mouth about q year ago
while he was asleep and that he swal-
lowed IT.
Since the bug was dispossessed Mccoy

Southern Ways

yellow Indian corn until the hard yellow
husk peels of. But this-when boiled a
long time In plenty Of water until swol-

long and an inch thick. Cover with
beaten egg and roll In fine dry bread

GOLD DUST FOR THE HAIR

New York Cor. Kansas City Starr
George Jay Goulds daughter Vivien
and others of the younger set have
adopted an old fashion for their more
piquant dances-that of powdering
their hair with gold dust Hundreds
of tiny spangles of the most vivid
yellow are sprinkled over the coiffure,
sometimes by means of devic that
distributes them evenly, but .oftener
in irregular handfuls, heightening the
effect.
The glitter that gold dust lends to
headdresses is not only bewildering,
but beautiful. Nor is restricted to wo-
men whose hair is golden, brown or
black. Those whose heals are crown
ed with gray or white find the new
whim becoming, Indeed, snowy locks
powdered with gold are attractive in
the extreme-a little startling, it may
he, but illustrative of the fact that in
this enlightened age no woman really
reed grow old.
