THE FASHIONABLE TRIM
MING OF PLAID
BY MAY MANTON

Plaid is being extensively used as
trimming for plain material, and the
contrast is always a pretty one. This
gown is especially well adapted TO
two materials, for there are panels
in the skirt and a little vest in the
waist. 1t allows effective use of but
tons, too, and the lines are all grace
full and becoming. Tho plaid with
the plain material makes an attract
i've contrast, but there are so many
fabrics of different sorts that it is
possible to vary the idea indefinitely.
Silk makes ideal trimming and it
contrasts well with the plain silk or
with wool fabrics. Entire silk gowns
are being much worn and plain silk
could be combined with striped or
figured. or a very pretty effect could
be obtained by using striped material
for the entire gown and cutting the
trimming portions on the bia16 OF
whatever material the gown is#yhade
the lines remah the same and they
are essentially smart, giving a no
tably slender effect at the same time
Ildl llt FfAtA 10 VI niOI'l dlt WlQllls
The waist portions are o~verlapped at
the front, but the closing is made at
the back.
For the medium size the waist will
require az yards Of material 27. ia
yards SO or A inches wide, with y
yard Fl for the vestee, u yard IS for
the yoke and collar, X yard 81 for the
vest and cuffs. The skirt will re-
quire s3s yards of material q, 2ss
yards s6 or A, with ~ yards any
width for the panels. The width Of
the skirt at the lower edge is "a
yards.
The May Manton pattern of the
waist, 1854, is cut in sizes from "a TO
AZ inches bust measure; of the skirt,
1908. in sizes from 90 to 30 inches
waist measure. They will be mailed
to any address by the fashion depart
ment of'this paper on receipt of ten

To Take Shine from Serge Coat

take the shine off a black serge coat,

same, A STAR READER
Shake and brush the garment free
from dust, sponge it with a weak
solution of ammonia. water, dry quick
" and press ii on the wrong side.
The remedy for the<stain depends
upon what caused it. In case it is a
grease spot it will be wise to take the
%precaution to make a rim of French
chalk around 1t and put a piece of
blotting paper underneath it in order
TO keep the oil from running into
the fabric. Then wet a cloth with
chlorofcrm and rub gently toward the
centre of the spot. Change the cloth
as soon as it becomes soiled, and
finally. when the spot has disap-
peared, rub it dry with a clean cloth,

TALKS TO MEN
The First word-MOsT OF MY
RULES on BEAUTY CAN DE
USED BY MEN WITH AS II
ADVANTAGE As ny WOMEN.

ADVANTAGE As by WOMEN.
Many men have done me the honor
of saying that they read my little
sermons on common senst in come
Illness with pleasure, and they say
that they arc surprised to find them
so full of helpful hints and sane
ideas upon the subject of beauty.
Sometimes | think that men like to
think down in their hearts that wom-
en- have no common sense. Their
whole attitude toward anything sem
sible that n says or does
seems to bear this out.
If a woman be beautiful they like
to think that she is so because II
benign Creator made her SC. They
think that science and art can i'm
prove everything else but woman
They object to tho following of any
sane measure which will improve her
health and beauty, and yet they in
sist upon her being attractive to the
W. as well as having the strength
and endurance that only perfect
health can give.
| have n friend whose husband is
always very much perturbed IL II
takes on the least bit overweight, but
when he finds that she IL going into
a rigorous diet and exercises he
makes a great Zeal of fuss over it,
says that he cannot eat with any en-
joyment il she Is not eating. n III
sists tina he wants her to sit down
by the fire and talk 10 hin when she
would rather be outdoors walking.
You men arc funny creatures, and
when I talk with my married friends
I come TO the conclusion that they
know lust as little about you after
they have married and lived with
YOU for a long while as we do who
have no husbands.
You are not at all backward In
telling us that you do not like
clothes the way we wear our hair,
or of any other little idiosyncrasy
that does not meet with your APP
probation. Yet you feel personally
insulted if a woman suggests tina.
she might be able to pick out better
looking ties than most men wear.
You follow fashion Just as blindly
as we do-notice the steady increase
of mustaches lately. because Dame
Fashion has whispered that they are
the thing. Now, l do not believe that
there are any more women who like
mustaches on the faces of men than
there are men who like too much
rouge on the faces of women Mus
taches are unclean, microbe-catching
traps; they cover one of the features
which Is usually the best in the face,
but you see them budding on all the
young chaps about town who aspire
TO follow tho English fashions. 1 do
not think, however, that many men
over 40 will wear them, as they add
years to the face.

Attendance {


Dear Miss Doom
VIII you kindly advise me what to
do? My boy is past 10 years old and
has his working papers from the factory
inspector, but the officer always comes
after him to go to school. Can he com
pei him 10 go or not? | will await your
answer. a STAR READER.
You evidently neglected to have the
boy excused from school by the Board
of Education. Unless you do this 1t
lies with the attendance officers to
compel his attendance until he /. II
years old. If you can prove that the
boys help is necessary to- the MAIN
tenance of yourself and family you
will probably be able to obtain the
necessary papers. / advise you to
call at the Office Of the attendance de-
partment, Board of Education, City
Hall, and have the matter settled at
once This will save interruption OF
the boys work and extra labor on
the part of the authorities, who, you
can imagine, have their time well
filled.

Kindly let me know through your
valuable paper how to take the shine
out of a blue serge suit. Hoping YOU
will obligo me by having this answer
in soon, ] remain, respectfully.
MRS. w. a. w.
Brush the garment thoroughly to
free 1t from all dust and dirt and
then sponge 1t with a weak solution
Of ammonia and water. Press on the
wrong side. BE sure that the am
monia water is weak SO hat there Is
no danger of the colors being af-
fected. Steaming, too, is a good
method for removing gloss. This can
be done by having two people hold
the garment taut over a kettle of
boiling water.

Why should there not be another class

that the Board of Education Is not

DESTROYS of entering the evening
