SOME THINGS MOTHERS SHOULD
REMEMBER.

A CHILD should always be allowed
to wake naturally in the morning.
Nothing short of fire in the house
excuses waking him suddenly.
No romping games. no teasing or
tickling or loud laughter of any kind.
should be allowed before a child's bed
time. The younger child is the more
important it is to observe this rule.
A child taken suddenly Ill Is better
without food for at least a little while.
He should be kept quiet until the doc
tor comes in a well aired but neither
chilly nor overheated room.
Medicine will often be taken more
readily by child if diluted with lit
tie water. A taste of orange juice be-
fore and after or a little sugar will
serve the same purpose.

huge obiong pockets In front. are
smart enough for any woman to wear
without feeling that she looks out of
style, and the demand for these has
increased along with the demand for
topcoats made of cloth.
The only trouble about these adni-
rable garments is that they change in
fashion almost as quickly as our
gowns. AS long as they were not In
the limelight of popularity they re-
manned pretty much the same, but the
minute they became part of the fash
ionable regalia Of the day the design
ers seemed to think it necessary to
be capricious about their cut and color.
Regard this season, for instance.
The coats have grown at least eight
inches shorter, and the really smart
ones do not reach the knees. They are
single breasted instead of double
breasted; the armhole has given place
to the raglan shoulder, in which the
sleeve runs In a wide gusset to the
neckband; the sleeve at the wrist is
held in to fit the arm by broad strap,
and there are pockets galore.

set. The neck ruche is of plated silk.
and the hat is a happy combination of
silk and braid
To come back to coat styles for a
few minutes, some OF the new models
have pockets, but the relief given by
these is but trifing. since they are
firmly fastened down at each side by
large buttons, and the space left be-
tween is sufficient only to accommo-
date the very himsiest handkerchief
folded very fat. Tailorss and dress
makers are more rigid than ever in
their opposition to the pocket. throw

distinct disappointment to learn that
this fall the lingerie adornment is out
of it." In other words, the best dress
ed women have discarded them and
are wearing only a perfect bloom of

OF exquisitely embroidered lawn and
linen have become so common as to
discredit the mode.
Individual touches In the whole
realm of clothes are the distinctive
note of fashion for the fall as they
have been for some time. And to
make blouse different or unusual, for
instance, is the aim of every well Dress
ed woman. The principal aid in this di-
rection is the bit OF hand work 1t ap-
pears on all the expensive blouses. The
latest within is the shocked yoke, which

elastic fabric such as crepe de chine or
of soft silk or linen. Cross stitch, dis
creetiy used, adds a pretty note, and
the French dot popcorn effects are de-
cidedly decorative. The rage for wool
embroidery has brought US back to
many of the stitches learned in kinder
garten days. These elementary stitch
es are worked out in all the brilliant
crude reds, blues and green's that we
selected with our primitive sense OF
color. This fantastic form of decora-
ton Is to be observed on collars. re-
vers, cuffs belts and bands-in fact
wherever a bold dash of color serves
best the idea of the designer.

FASHIONABLE LATE SUMMER GOWNS

T ATE summer is not always the sea-
son In which we look for new de-
signs In the world of fashion. but there
Is growing activity in this direction
as in many others. and almost every
month of the year has come to mean
some novelty. These gowns show in
teresting features and will be found
satisfactory for the fall season.
The pannier skirt is one of the pref
test of that kind and unquestiona bly,
will be much worn. The foundation
is circular. with a panel back that can
be made either In walking length or
with a train, and the panniers are ar

attractive one, with daintily shirred

SOMETHING IN THE EYE

Of all the little Ills that flesh is heir
to- nothing gives more annoyance
and pain than a particle Of dust or grit
in the eye. Even a stray eyelash will
cause discomfort and affect the eye for
hours afterward. Now, where such q
thing as a loose eyelash is concerned.
IL is usually an easy matter to dislodge
the offending atom with a spill made
from twisted paper or the corner of
a handkerchief. while the lower lid is
held down by the left hand. IL no
mirror be handy you must rely on help,
of course.
Another plan is to draw the upper
lid right down over the lower and to
open the eye quickly. AS rule, the
irritating atom finds dislodgment In
side the upper lid. and by doing as sug-
gested the unruly something" will be
speedily removed. If, however, you
should happen to be passing a stone
breaker at work and suspect a tiny
piece of flint to have lodged In the eye,
on no account delay having 1t removed.
Consult an eye specialist is the best
advice, but failing this put few drops
of salad oil in the eye. 1t will make
the doctors work easier when he gets
to it.
But perhaps the worst thing that can
happen in this particular way is for a
grain or two OF lime to enter the eye.
Prompt measures are then imperative.
| Notwithstanding these, the sight may
be seriously damaged
Mix one part of vinegar with three
parts of water. and IL you do not pos
sess an egeglass wash the eyeball well
with this by dropping from an ordinary
| medicine bottle.
Vinegar robs lime of its burning
properties. Twelve or fifteen minutes
is by no means too long to continue
this treatment For the fifteen min
utes following use warm water. in the
same way as you did the diluted vine
gar. finally dropping little sweet oil

THE FASHIONABLE

RAID is going to be one of the
* very fashionable trimmings
for fall and winter suits. And
the new braid is. wide, very
wide. wavy for the most part in de-
sign and altogether aggressive look
ing. a sort of sartorial American
spread eagleism in the trimming world
that boasts of being the greatest and
most attractive braid adornment ever
invented In fact, this modistic jim
goism. alias braid, is mighty apt, If
not used with caution. to bring oppro-
orium upon the gown 1t means to
adorn. On the other hand. when used
with discretion it is a delightful trim
ming.
Good quality braid as every woman
knows is an expensive trimming. but
the variety to be used the coming fall
is made from a wood fiber, which re-
duces the cost to the buyer to a very
appreciable degree. The manufacture
ers are also making from this fiber
silk of such beautiful quality and
wearing ability that the dressmakers
are quite enthusiastic, because the low
| er cost OF the material in no way at
fects the appearance of the fabric.
One Of the gowns seen in the panel

! for the added width of jupe and its
braid trimming of the modish new va

note IN the basque set on above a

out In tan broadcloth trimmed with
