M. Strout comes to Dexter High
with the highest of recommendations.
He was graduated from Bates College
in the Class of 1911 and while in col
lege assisted in several of the courses.
His success as an assistant at Bates
was the cause of high recommended
ton from the Bates faculty to Leland
A. Ross, superintendent OF schools In
this town.
In addition to Mr.. Strout there will
be two other new teachers at the
school. Miss Winnifred Tasker of this
town, Pates II, takes the position left
vacant BY the resignation Of Miss Abby
Chandler and Miss Alice Wyman OF
Portland fills the position vacated by
Miss Dinsmore, who goes to Edward
Little Iffeh at Auburn.
The prospects for a very successful
year at Dexter High are bright under
the new corps OF teachers.

HOW TO MAKE A POCKET THAT
IS SAFE TO CARRY VALUABLES

cambric SIX inches wide by twelve inches
long. Turn up the bottom. envelope
fashion. and put hem on the top. The
hem is to stay the buttonholes. The top
Is cut pointed, or simply turn the edges
in pointed shape. which makes 1t
stronger.
On the first turn make three button
holes and one in the flap. Sew the pocket
up at the edges to form an envelope
like bag. and then stitch firmly on the
petticoat on three Sides not only on the
edges, but across the center where the
flap comes under the buttonhole hem.
The buttons must then be sewn firmly
through to the skirt. In this way there
is no possible danger of the pocket COM
ing open. tried the snap fasteners, but
found that they were not as safe as good
old-fashioned buttons sewn firmly on.
The button that holds the flap down is
only sewn through one thickness and it
is well to put small piece of goods on
the back to stay II.
OF course, the pockets can be made any
size, but once tried l am sure that no
woman will be without one of these
pockets in her petticoat. especially in
these days when we are not allowed
pockets in our dress skirts.
For holding the railroad ticket, money,
jewels. or any such things they are in
valuable, and being so high up on the
skirt are not likely to be disturbed by
thieves who might easily reach the petit
coat pocket if low on the skirt.
In silk petticoats the pocket may be
made of silk If it is lined inside with
good strong cambria, and in a white
petticoat a piece Of white cotton will do.

SACHETS ARE MADE AT HOME
WITH SATISFACTORY RESULTS

Strong perfumes are always eschewed
by the refined woman, but a delicate
fragrance is desired of all, and this Is
achieved not through bottled scents, bu,
through delicate sachets, which are now
used not only in frocks and lingerie, bu,
even the corsets and the hats
To make these sachets is by no means
difficult, and the result will more than
justify the time spent in making such
dainty adjuncts.
For shirt waists and dresses which
hang in the closet. take ordinary coat
hangers. and make two pointed sachets
as wide as the hanger. These should
be Of cotton batting filled with sachet.
and covered with silk, which must be
stitched into squares on the machine to
prevent the sachet from slipping down
into the point, which it is liable to do
IL the sachet Is only tufted
Next, sew or tie with ribbons the two
sachets together over the hanger, and
slip 1t into the shoulders Of your frock
This will prove far better sachet than
the ordinary wrapper" hanger, which
was so popular a year or two ago.
For hats small round sachet Is made
that fits up into the crown of the hat.

gear Is in actual use.

PROPER RIBBONS
FOR SMALL FOLK

There Is to be no diminution in the size
Of hair ribbons which little people will
wear this summer. Precisely why some

that is what girls of ten years Of age de-

Their smaller sisters, envious In the ex-
treme, are limited to widths Of four
inches, and one yard and an eighth Is

should take care not to exceed this, too,
for otherwise the bow becomes grotesque

II am to judge by the letters that
have come to me this week from the
Puzzle Circle, I must confess that the
Culinary Courtship" has proven the most
difficult of any puzzle you have had to
solve.
With but a few hours remaining until
the closing of the contest. there is not
a correct answer upon my desk, which Is
a condition that has existed but once be-
fore The week of the Mystic Flower"
contest ended with no single correct
solution Of that puzzle, and it looks much
as though the Puzzle Circle is to pass
through the same experience again with
the Culinary Courtship."
I don't think that it is so much because
the puzzle is really hard as that there
may be any one of several answers to
certain numbers of each group.
Held Lists Because of Incorrectness.
And 1 am very sorry to tell you that
a goodly number of the Puzzle Circle
have withheld their lists because Of
their inability to decide upon some Of
the courses of this strange dinner.
Several contestants called me over the
phone in the middle of the week to tell
me that they had completed the groups
of questions with but three exceptions.
and they wanted to know If there was
any use Of sending such an incorrect
solution.

QUILLS ARE SMART
FOR TAILORED HATS

Coming back into prominence and fem
mime again after an absence of several
seasons, is the quill or feather trimming
1t is very stunning when properly used
for tailored chapeaux and gives its wear
er a very trim and jaunty appearance.
One stunning model noted recently was
Of rough black straw. with the fashion
able high crown. and the equally fash
ionable rolling brim.
1t was quite plain and bare Of any
adornment, save two great quills which
slanted upright, starting from the back
These were of the new coral shade, chang
ing from a vivid coral in the center to
deeper, almost black hue on the edge.
And they gave just the note OF color
and air Of jauntiness which the hat
needed to make it distinctly chic.
