make the most satisfactory gowns of
the simpler sort. This one combines
a five-gored skirt with a simple
blouse, both of which are closed at
the front, and they are stitched to-
gether to form a sem~i-princesse dress.
In this case there is a band of trim
ming over the hem at the front edge
and the closing is made invisibly, but
both blouse and skirt r finished
with edges that overlap and button
together and the trimming is in no
way necessary. The same model, for
example, would be very charming
with the collar, cuff and front edges
scalloped and the closing accom-
plished with pretty pearl buttons and
buttonholes. Round necks Ire both
fashionable and comfortable for mid
summer wear and three-quarter
sleeves are greatly in vogue. but long
ones are fashionable also, and these
can be made to the wrists and finished
with frills to be very pretty and very
fashionable, both lengths being smart
and each wearer being quite free to
suit her own taste in the matter. The,
trimming down the centre front gives
the long line that is so fashionable.
and an effect of height. White lawn
or embroidered muslin with a strip
of embroidery in place of the black
and white stripes, would make a very
dainty gown. the model being as APP

FASHIONABLE PERFUMES

Have you noticed that as our fash
ions grow more s~triking-our colorings
more vivid, our hats more daring, our
frocks more decided as to cut and to
color, even Jul perfumes are follow
ing the same trend?
No longer does the fashionable
woman sexude just the faintest breath
of violet or some delicate perfume.
Rather does she leave a scented trail
of heavy. sweet-scented blossoms, for
it is these which seem most in evil
dence these days.
During the winter gardenia and lily
of the valley scents were particularly
-popular-both heavy, clinging per-
fumes, which must be used with the
greatest discretion. Just no.
women are turning to rose SCENTS
little less heavy, perhaps, $500 ne
others, but still much heavier than
the scents of former seasons.

than an over-abundance.

Take Care of Your Tell-tale Hands

A young woman far o youthful
and good-looking to worry over the
condition of her hands seriously said,
TIN glad my hands are keeping
young: they show my age much less
than do those of my contemporaries
This is a fact few women realize,
that hands are the greatest giveaway
of age. You a fool people with an
unlined face, but there is something
in the quality of the skin on the
hands that is equal to the family
Bible as a truth teller.
1t behooves girls, therefore, to pay
more attention to their hands than
they do. 1t is not enough to have
beautifully manicured nails; the hand
itself must be exercised to keep the
muscles taut and the flesh firm.
Various stretching and grasping
motions are good. Distend the fingers
forcibly and draw them in close to
the palm with equal force. Wave the
hands back and forth from the wrist
for suppleness, and. putting the fin
gertips and thumbs of both hands to-
gether, alternately bow and compress

tight.
Besides these motions, feed the skin
with cold cream, being sure to get
n that is real skin food, not Just
a cleaning cream. Many of the medi-
Gated gloves are advised, but con-
slant wearing of gloves at night is
thought by many to make the skin
sentative and tberafore mora ct,c-
ceptible to wrinkles.
If your hands have alreary begun
to show age do not make them con-
.spicuous by overdresing them. Curb
your desire to show all your rings at
once and only wear those whose

ANENT THE BATHING SUIT

For the maid who would look as
we'll upon the sands as at any other
time, there are the most fetching lit
tie suits this year. 1t is true that
there are seldom very radical
changes in the bathing suit modes,
but there are certain little touches,
little points, which distinguish the
suit and mark it's season and it's cor
rectneSs.
One of the new ideas this year., for
instance, is to use the fashionable
ratine for trimming. This is one Of
the places where it is quite practical,
for this material looks for all the
world like a dissected Turkish towel
and towels do not mind water!
One of the new suits had a quantity
shaped yoke of white ratine, while
the suit itself was of dark blue mo-
hair, lustrous and heavy. Bands Of

Games for the Fourth"

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly suggest some novel
entertainment for the Fourth of July
that will amuse a number of young
folk? Thanking you, HOSTESS.
A fireworks maze ought to prove
diverting. For this you will need
a number of red balls, white
and blue Irvine. There must be
a different length of the Irvine for
each invited guest and all must start
from the same place. The various
ends are woven into a cobweb effect,
in and out the rooms, to be occupied
for the entertainment, and on the
end of each Irvine which is hidden
away in some remote spot there
is a little favor in the form
of a paper ~skyrocket, Roman candle,
pack of firecrackers (Which are really
mint sticks, a small run filed with
red, white and blue torpedoes, repre-
scented with chocolate buds, small
cannon crackers filled with candies
or bonbons and any other of the
endless array of favors which have
been designed for this annua1 cele-
bration. On the starting end OF each
piece of twine may be hung a small
card in the shape of an American
eagle, or a Liberty Bell containing
the name of the guest.
Following this pastime you could
have a flag hunt. For this purpose
the lawn will be convenient and a
quantity of miniature paper flags
will be needed. These are to be
pinned in every conceivable place, SO
that it will require more than a
casual glance to find them. Then
award to those finding three a tiny
silk flag. This award is made for
every three found until the time
given for the hunt has expired, when
a flag box filed with bonbons, or a
little suitcase decorated with tiny
flags ara filed with chocolates, is
given to each contestant having two
or more of the silk f1ags.

COMPANY MANNERS

to politely and treated with courtesy.
If they are ordered about without a
"Please!" Or a Thank youl" they viii
soon take their cue from their EN-,
ployers and behave accordingly. Train
them to be respectful and attentive
to visitors, and do not speak TO them
as If they were a heather race apart.
Avoid having digs" at the rest Of
the family and hurting their feelings.
We are zone of us faultless. and 1t Is
so easy to criticise others.
The A B C of good manners is to
continue in private life the consider
alton we show to strangers and the
outside world. No husband ought to
be ashamed to be polite to his wife.
and no wife should mind showing on
sideration to her husband.

treatment. You viii find a list of
people engaged in this business listed
in the back of the city directory
under "Hairdressers and Workers."
I have known Of hair that has be-
come tangled by a long illness to be
brought back to It's normal smooth
ness with very little loss. This re-
quires patience and care, though.
Have meo take small strands of
the hair and pull 1t gently apart with
the fingers. AS soon as it has been
made smooth as it can be by this
method have each strand brushed
and then gently combed, beginning at
the bottom. Roll the combed strands
and pin them closely to the head. If
you r weak from your illness the
brushing and combing will take two
or three days.

the white ratine finished the short,
plain sleeves.
If one is slender enough she may
adopt the shirred trimming which
raj used with such good effect on a
dark taffeta silk model. This had a
shirred band outline the slightly high
waist line, and there was a shirred
ornament at the side, where the skirt
fastened.
Black satin bathing suits are very
good looking, and n may now pur-
chase satin that the shops assure us
will not be hurt by fresh OF salt
water. The satin suits are some
times made up quite deliberately,
with fancy buttons and contrasting
satin or braid bands and ornaments.
And to go with the suits are all
sorts of piquant little caps and hats
and pretty shoes and stockings.

A woman who was congratulated
by a friend on her husbands charm
ing manners in society said rather
bitterly. "Ah, just 50, but he leaves
them in the hall with his violin case
when he ome I'M"
Too many of US leave our good
manners behind US in the same way.
We exert ourselves TO be polite and
charming when we are with stran-
gers, but the moment we get back to
our own homes the mask is dropped
and we do not take the trouble 10 be
courteous any longer.
Some people find 1t a great bother
to be tidy and spiok-and-span at
home. A girl who would not dream
of appearing before her iance in a
shabby blouse or a torn pair of gloves
will disgust him after they are mar
ried by coming down to breakfast in
a soiled teagown or a down-at-heel
pair of bedroom slippers.
Other people are fond of giving
much unwelcome advice to the family
circle and interfering in their private
affairs. To express curiosity about
the letters received by other members
of the family is the height of bad
manners. and it should never be in
dulged in.
Children should be taught their
table manners and made to practise
them very carefully. otherwise how
can We expect them to behave well
when we take them out? A spoilt
child, drumming with his spoon on
the table or yelling for his favorite
dishes. speaks volumes as regards his
mother.
Unpleasant subjects should not be
raked up: they only lead to strife
and pickering, and should be care.
fully avoided.
Servants should always be spoken

USES OF VINEGAR

Few people realize the many uses
of vinegar.
Hot vinegar will remove paint from
the windows. If a mixture of vine
gar and water is applied to lacquered
articles and gilt frames they will
become bright again.
When scrubbil a little vinegar
is added to the pail of water it will
loosen grease or prevent any odor.
Vinegar when used for pickles
should never be boiled, just scalded.

FOR GIRLS WHO
LACK DECISION

Every girl ought to bear in mind
that decision is one of the most m
portant attributes of life, and that
too often the truth Is proved of The
who hesitates is lost" Things should
never be done by halves; If a thing is
right to do it must be done boldly
and at once, and if it be wrong let it
severely alone. Remember that each
day and it's actions constitute a little
life and that our whole life Is but a
day repeated.

TAILOR-MADE JEWELRY

Harness or trunk buckles of silver
and copper are most artistic-looking
when used on the leather belts which
girls wear with their sports skirts and
shirts, and if there is a chatelaine
watch it may be suspended by a fob
of silver or copper to match. The
new shirts nave cuffs fitted with old
fashioned links, which should, of
course, agree with the ornaments on
the belt. But most women prefer the
wristlet watch for sports purposes.
Mother-of-pearl jewelry is specially
in request for girls wear. and in it
are to be found charming little lace
jabot and hatpins with short stems.
well as buckles and links mounted
with either gold or silver.

You can bet every dollar you
possess and win it that We would.
Want to know why? Because We
have tasted of Democracy's admins
tration and We don't like 1t. We have
helped to provide for the suffering

messed scenes that We never want
to see again. And We know that the

having promised so much, would
want TO get very busy hitting every
