A GIFT 'KERCHIEF

"A revival of the old custom ~
carrying coins tied in the corner of az
handkerchief is shown in an article
Tor women. which is called t coin
handkerchief. This Is a deliebtf,Iry
convenient arrangement. because ara
handkerchief is small, and 1t can he
tucked IN a glove. In this way the
onering for church or the carfare is
always convenient. These andke
ehiefs are hemstitched by band5f

ana nave in one corner two of the
baby Irish lace roses made of varv

them, so that they acquire the size :.

are then firmly attached all arounafs,

upper side, which allows for the coin
TO be slipped in under the rose. and !.
the loose edge fastened with a but

THE NEW PANEL SKIRT
BY MAY MANTON

In spite of the fact that long,
straight lines are still the correct
ones, panels and plaits are features
of the new skirts. This model shows
the two most attractively combined.
The skirt is of the favorite t~wo-piece
sort, but at each side there is a mar
row panel heightened by a plated
portion. These plaits are pressed
very fiat and, in effect, the long
straight lines remain. The skirt may
be finished at either the high or the
natural waist line. The blouse Illus
trated Is a very simple me-. Here
it is made with a high collar and
with long, one-piece sleeves. slightly
gathered at the top. If preferred, the
neck may be cut square and full
sleeves may be used, and these
sleeves can be extended to the wrists
by deep cuffs or finished at the IL
bows with bands. The material Of
this blouse is handkerchief linen,
charmingly embroidered. Satin could
be made in this way either with or
without the embroidery. Plaid taft
feta is to be much worn this season
and would be both pretty and serv-
iceable. The model is excellent, too,
for the guimpe to be worn under
other waists. This skirt is made OF
blue diagonal cloth and trimmed with
metal-rimmed buttons of the mate
rial in graduated sizes. This treat
ment is both smart and attractive.
but the material and the trimming
may be varied to suit the individual
taste. White serge with crystal but
tons arranged to suit the fancy would
be very pretty. Cheviot, ~broadcloth
or any other material adapted to the
tailored skirt would be satisfactory
for the model.
For the medium size the blouse will
require 81 yards of material IS, PA
yards 81 or 2 yards 36 or A inches
wide; the skirt 4 yards ~, or 81
yards 36 or A inches wide. The width
of the skirt at the lower edge Is 2k
yards or 2 yards when the plaits are
laid.
The May Manton pattern 1925 is
cut in sizes from "a to A inches bust
of the skirt 1924 in sizes
% to 30 inches waist measure.

I am sorry l am unable to give you
the desired information. Those models
are simply suggestions for gowns and
are not furnished by any pattern

secure the pattern you desire or one

Dry Shampoo

Can yoa kindly let me know of a
dry shampoo TO rub in the hair at
night n frush out IN the morning
Also If it Will injure the hair. THANH
ing you in advance, M.
Personally 1 don't approve of using
powders of any kind on the hair. AL
though many hair experts advocate
their use as dry shampoos, 1t seems
to me they cannot help but interfere
with the growth of the hair by clog
ging the pores. However, many peo-
pie use them, they say, to advantage.
Here is the recipe for me-: White
cornmeal, one pound; ground orris
root, one ounce; powdered borax, one
| ounce; bicarbonate of soda, one and
one-half ounces. Blend the ingredi-
| ents by sitting them together care
| fully. Some prefer powdered orris
root alone.
If you decide to try the dry sham
| poo 1 do not advise you to leave ii
on over night. Fifteen minutes is
sufficient.
BETTY-Under the circumstances
it would be very bad form for you to
make any speech at all. A candidate
for a political office may tell the
voters how greatly it will be to their
advantage to elect him, but a nomi-
nee for office in a social club would
not only lay herself open to criticism
by doing it, but would be apt to lose
votes. Take my advice and wait
until you are elected before making
a speech. If you are defeated accept
the verdict gracefully.

that renders the skin soft. pure and
white, that helps to beautify or i'm
prove the complexion" A combina-
ton of pure soap and soft water is
a cosmetic quite as much as cold
Greenland a good cold cream is quite
as necessary to the preservation of a
good complexion as soap and water.
Here is the secret of a good com
plexion-perfect health and perfect
cleanliness.
"I never use anything on my face
except soap and water" says a
woman with a great assumption of
virtue. She looks the part. Her face
is full of blackheads, her skin is rough
and its pores are large. There are
ugly long hairs at the side of her
mouth, and altogether she looks lily
groomed. If she would use a good
cream on her face and wipe 1t off
with a clean linen cloth h would
find that there was a lot of dirt that
she could not get off her face with
just soap and water.
Here is the trouble. Women seem
to think hat nothing they can put
on their skin will do 1t any harm,
and they seem to believe that every
thing tina anyone recommends to
them may help them.
All the cosmetics that I use are
made from my own recipes. | know
that the ingredients are pure and
helpful. | would not put a bit OF
vaseline or any of the b~y-products OF
crude oil on my face any more thar

not use any hair tonic which con-
tanned sugar of lead. or any powder

To Clean Baby's Sacque
Dear Miss Dnnn

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you please tell me what will
clean a baby sacque (wooIen), soiled
from my hands in knitting it. I have
tried naphtha n 1t only made it
worse. Please answer in Evening Star.
Thanking you in advance, I remain,
A. +.
Brush all the dust out of the
sacque. spread it on a table. sprinkle
1t with a quantity Of finely ground
white starch Gice or potato, not
wheat). fold it up, powdering liber-
ally between each fold. Put the
sacque away for a day, open 1t and
dust it thoroughly. The starch will
have absorbed all the dirt.
If the sacque is very dirty press
it between two damp blankets before
applying the starch.

The Woman in the Public
Square

She was a oma trinity garDed IN
brown. Her face vas prepossessing-
earnest and yet with a smile glinting
through the earnestness. There
wasn't a conspicuous thing about her
1even her suffragette hat, brown ana
trimmed with an outstanding bit OF
feather and ribbon, didn't look ike
a suffragist hat.
Passing her on the street, you
might nave thought, There goes a
pleasant person"-if you'd been OBJ
serving enough to notice individuals.
But when one saw this woman
standing upon a little stone speaker 5
platform in the public square OF l.
big city, with a great yellow banner
In swinging folds beside her, whiie
she talked to a large. crowd OF men
who listened silently, thoughtfuliy
and respectfully-well, n Simply
had to stop and take notice.
The woman was Miss Louise Hall,
well known suffrage leader of Rhode
Island. She was talking, not shout
ing nor g~esturing, and she was say
ing what held the attention OF men
who might easily have been made
into a jeering crowd.
Was Miss Hall really doing any
thing unwomanly in speaking 10 the
public in the public square?
Rather, wasn't she a sort of mai
tyr, taking up the cause for us VINO
are so "womanly' that we are cow
ards so refined" that We turn up
our noses at those who are doing the
u~npleasant tasks for our benefit?
Every great movement has a to
have opponents. Many of these
have been extremists, but
without them we should V nave
struck a happy medium, nor mad our
attention called to the purpose OF the
movement.
The advance agents of almost every
great movement, nc matter OF what
nature. have had thankless Jobs. we
have ieered and kicked them, nave
burned them at the stake and pelted
them with ancient hen-fruit. We nave
ridiculed them and hated lem,
though sometimes, a long time after
they are safely dead, we honor them
and put them in our hall of fame.
The fact is that a few earnest,
modest, thoughtful and very wom-
anly women are putting their natural
reticence in the background anu
doing their best to help the 1ndlner-
ent masses of their sisters.
They are those who see ahead anu
who recognize the increasing Difficult
ties of womanhood. We who pass
along the sneer, priding ourselves
upon our modesty and u womanii-
ness which would moi stoop to sucn
a thing, are only the benehciaries OF
those who dare for us, who fight FOR
what most of us don't realize we
need and who are asking that we pay
q little more attention to what the
future is bringing us and our chill
dren and our homes, instead OF
merely consulting the conveniences OF
the moment.
Sometimes n is compelled to think
that the full and rich meaning or
real womanliness is not understood
by the average man and woman. The
term is too often used as an express
sion of personal prejudice, or an ex-
cuse for selfishness or narrowminded-
ness-or l~aziness.
