We have told before Of marking lin

dayA
Fashions in marking linens change to
some degree every season. so that letters
from a half inch to four or five inches
long are permissible; but safe rule for
the conservative needle-woman to follow
is: For tablecloths, letters two inches
long; napkins, letters three-quarters of
an inch long; sheets, two inches long.
Other articles are marked according to
the taste of the housewife. The best
method Of marking linen is a problem
which presents itself very often.

MILK AND SULPHUR CURE
FOR TAN AND FRECKIES

Milk has long been looked upon as
one Of the best skin beautlhers A
favorite milk cure for tan. sunburn
and all facial blotches is made by mix
ing flowers Of sulphur with a little new
milk and allowing It to stand an hour
or more to settle
Pour on the milk without disturbing
the sediment and rub well into the skin
before bathing the face. This lotion
must be used Immediately and prepared
fresh every day. II Is advisable to pre-
pare only three or four tablespoonfuls
to prevent waste. Allow It to dry on the
face before taking the regular bath.
II prepared properly and applied con-
scientiously there is no reason why the
summer girl need fear the playful sum-
mer breeze, which delights to dot her
creamy skin with hecks Of brown and
touch her rosy cheeks with tan.

By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

I dare say there was not a mother but
who read the account in yesterdays Herald
Of the thirteen-year-old lad who was
stung to such grief and shame by words
OF his mother and brother, accusing him
Of dishonesty, that he went out and
hanged himself '-.-
Nor is this by any means the first
account We have read Of children ending
their lives because they were not under
stood by their parents, which turns our
thoughts back into the days a century
gone by when such youthful tragedies
were an unheard of. unthought OF, thing,
causing every mother OF US to ask our
selves what there is in our present mode
OF life that tends to put such ideas into
the minds Of our children.
Children were scolded in the long ago:
some Of them inhumanly punished; many
OF them were misunderstood; more Of
them left to bring themselves Up-parents
considering that the greater part Of their
duties had been performed when food
and clothes had been supplied their on
spring. AS for child nature It has been
the same since the year one as far as
we knew-always sensitive, always cas-
lily nodded: capable Of keen pleasure in
little things, and as tragic suffering in
others no less small.
Where Is the FauItF
Yet in the old days of a century gone
by it would have stirred our country
to its very foundation had a thirteen
year-old boy gone out and hanged him
self!
Where is our present age at fault that
children should entertain such morbid
thoughts as such tragedies prove they
do?
There never was a time when child
life and child training was given such
scientific consideration as now; never a
tine when greater attention was given
the development OF individuality in the
young. Tremendous strides have been
made forward in education. Physical
needs are attended to by hundreds of
gymnasiums and training schools through
out the land We have but to compare
our educational system Of to-day with
that Of a century ago to realize that
the child OF the present age has advant-
ages for development never given his
grandfather.
Yet, in the face of all these undeni-
able facts children end their lives.
To a boy or girl of thirteen summers
life should be rose-colored; filled with
tie long, long thoughts of youth
which hold nothing of sordidness, and
retain nothing Of hurt for very long. .
The normal child does not brood
either over a scolding or a punishment.

Nothing more stylish or more generally
becoming has been designed this season
than the pretty costume given in this
model Here we have simplicity and
smartness combined 10 a remarkable de-
gree. The frock closes at the front and

goods adds much to the good style OF the
garment.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS IN
MAKING FINE LINENS

the letters over a fine net, cutting away
the linen underneath so that when fin
ished 1t will give q transparent effect
that is unusual and beautiful
The work is not difficult and can be
done rapidly by one who has any expe-
rience in needlecraft. Sketch the letter
selected in the proper position on the
linens, or you can transfer an ordinary
marking letter in the usual manner with
a warm iron. The letter is then lined
or backed, with fine net.
This is tackled securely in position,
tacking the thread firmly around all
points of the letter. Now cut away as
much Of the linen inside the outline as
will make the letter effective, with the
net alone showing through.
The edge Of the linen is then embroid-
cred to the net, either with a plain over
and-over stitch or a buttonhole stitch.
When the embroidery is all finished the
net at the back is cut away as close as
possible, so that the reverse side of the
article will be perfectly neat.

beaded, embroidered or jeweled, they Mt
ingly dress the feet for formal occasions
A number Of these have elastic goring
at the sides, causing them to fit snugIy.
Many OF these appear in the popular
combination of black and white.
Another recent development in the
world Of fashion is the wearing Of black

Tan-colored feathers are the correct
thing for street wear. They harmonic

popular colors for the tailored suit.
Slippers for less formal wear feature
