NEARLY KILLED.
Gus Howard, a Negro, Run Down b,
an Automobile.

Some time during the week a ne
gro, said to be blind or short OF
sight" named Charles Howard, was
run down by an automobile. 1t was
believed the negro was killed, but
like a cat having nine lives, survived
the rolling. According to the old
saying, Charles Howard has eight
more lives to risk via the automo-
bile route.
If any mention of the accident has
been made it has escaped the eau
casian. Nobody seems to know a
thing of this running over of the
negro. 1t is said that at he time
Charles Howard was auto rolled the
auto was going at the moderate rate
of only two miles an hour. If the
negro had kept out of the street and
not ran into the auto he would not
have collided with the auto. Charles
Howard may bless his star that he
was not auto rolled to his death.
Could ehe police give or has the
police any inkling of this auto roll
ing of the blind or short of sight"
negro?

FASHION HINTS.

The vogue for high collars is per-
haps u to the fact that the stock of
lace is favorably regarded. But with
out a doubt, when worn in conjunction
with the newest blouse, which boasts a
stiff high collar, one will be warmer
tina is generally deemed desirable.
The blousescollar referred to is quite
high at the back, and is sloped down in
front to the base of the throat. Over
the collar hangs a graduated frill of
lace.
The woman who likes the soignee
effect of the tube" skirt is being taken
into account by the tai1ors. They are
making a skirt without fullness, a little
wider than the winter models, and by
the clever application of strappings and
folds of cloth giving the more decorat-
cd air that proclaims the last cry"
The length of a coat is always a de-
batable point. but 1t is to be chronicled
that the happy mean will be seen, not
the jaunty short coat of yesteryear. or

combines a smart appearance with COM

AN INVISIBLE PATCH.

When you are obliged to patch chill
weave Of the material, and IL It be
striped or plaid goods take great are
that the lines of the figure exactly
match.
Before applying the patch be sure
that the materiaI-of the patch matches
the dress in color. For example. do not
patch a faded garment with a piece OF
new material. II the dress ia faded,
wet a bit of new material and lay It In
the sun until 1t, too, is faded the same
amount as the dress itself. Then 1t can
be put on underneath the tear, the
frayed edges cut away and the edges
of the tear sewed down with invisible
stitches. Dampen and press the patch
on the wrong side and it will be almost
impossible to see where the garment
has been mended.
To apply an invisible patch to
wooden material place the patch un-
wool thread rayeled put from the new
material or h piece you are patching
with, darn the edges of the hole down
to the patch. taking care to follow
the weav of the material as you work.
Dampen and press under a cloth on
h wrong side.
Lace may be successfully patched
by sewing a piece of net having the
same mesh as the lace underneath the
place you want to patch, and with a
fine needle and thread that corresponds
to the thread In the pattern of the lace
work over the net the same design
found in the lace. This plan is very
successful in mending lace Jokes and
collars that have worn in small holes
about the joining point. yet are too
good to discard altogether.

In no way is steak more delicious
than when simply broiled, and in no
way is It more easily prepared. Pep
per. salt and butter give perfect sea-
soning, and the busy housewife who
finds her time well filed In the busy
hour before dinner usually dresses the
broiled steak in this way. When a
change is desired different seasonings
vary the monotony.
Small steaks are usually more ten
der than large ones. To broil nicely
they should be out at least an inch
and a half thick. Trim and flatten
down with the fiat side of a cleaver,
brush over with oil and broil over
an intense heat. Eight minutes Is re-

steaks should be cut two and q half

Dear Miss Doom:
l have a large white chip hat which has
been badly scorched by the sun. I should
like to clean 1t at home. Gould you adj
wise me whet to use and how to use 1t,
or do you think I had better take 1t to a

A professional cleaner generally OBJ
tafns better results in renovating straw
hats than an amateur does. However,
IL you do not III to go to the expense
of having it cleaned you can do it
yourself with lemon Juice and flowers
of sulphur. Brush the hat thoroughly
to remove every particle of dust and
then wet 1t with lemon Juice. using a
toothbrush and applying the juice to
only a smail portion of the hat at a
time. Next dip the moist brush into
the sulphur, then into the lemon juice
and go over the entire hat with it
cleansing the straw thoroughly. Brush
the hat again and let 1t dry in the

Oxalic acid also cleans white straw,

not to turn the straw yellow. Brush
the hat thoroughly, lay it on a fiat
surface and scrub 1t thoroughly with a
toothbrush dipped in a solution made
by dissolving i've cents worth of oxalic
acid in a pint of warm water. Then
rinse the hat carefully, as unless the
acid is washed off thoroughly it will
ipjure the straw. Dry the hat on a
fat surface in the bright sunshine.

A SMART SHIRTWAIST AND
SKIRT.

BY MAY MANTON

The smart shirt waist Is always
wanted, always in demand. This one
is distinctly new. 1t can be cut with
shaped edges, as shown on the figure.
or with straight hemmed edges, but the
tabs make an important feature and
are essentially chic. In this case It IL
made of a striped madras and ie worn
with a skirt Of wool. but the model is a
good one for the shirt waist gown as
well rs for separate use. Both waist
inc skirt could be made of linen or of
similar material, or the waist could be
combined with a different skirt, the
skirt with a different waist. The skirt
is made in three pieces and 1t is over
Tapped at the left of the front. In place
of the straight edges 1t a be curved
at the lower edge to give the slightly
open effect that Is much liked. The
waist is made with the plain sleeves
that make a feature of the season, and
with the soft t~urned-over collar that Is
SO smart and so well liked, but It In
cludes straight cuffs and sleeve over
laps. New wasting materials include
very interesting variety and h model
suits them all. For a dainty blouse can
be used handkerchief lawn with a little
embroidery or with the edges of the
front scalloped. and for a sturdy waist
the striped madras illustrated Is good.
while iannels and silks suit the model
equally well. The skirt is a desirable
one for wool, linen, cotton, silk and all
materials that can be made in tailored
style.
For the medium size the waist will
require ~ yards Of material 27; 2 yards
36. 1ss yards A inches wide; for the
skirt will be needed 81 yards q, 2A

FOR AN INVALID.

Sometimes it is very difficult to get
an invalid who must nave nourishment
to take ordinary food. In that case try
the following mixture, which Is one
that Is a good deal used in hospitals:
Separate the white and yolk of a
quite new-laid egg. Put the yolk into
a cup or glass and add to It a little
sugar and either a little brandy or
sherry as fiavoring, or, IL you prefer it,
you can use lemon Juice In place of the
brandy or sherry. Well beat the mix
ture.
Meanwhile have a good teacupful of
milk heated to boiling point. Let 1t
cool a little and then pour 1t. stirring
all the time, on tho beaten yolk.
Beat the white to a stiff froth. so
stif that 1t will cling to the plate eve
II the latter is turned upside down.
Stir this gently into the milk and serve
as soon as possible.
It makes a most useful pick-me-up
for anyone who is very tired, and is
far better to take at such a time than
a heavy meal would be.
