MAKING JABOTS

MANY of those who admire the fam
cy neckwear and dainty jabots with
frills and lace to be seen in the shops
may not know that some of those de-
signs can be copied quite easily.
To make one of white and pale pink
linen take a triangular piece of pink
linen and apply to the white by means
of q row OF buttonhole stitching.
Groups of coin spots are then worked
on the linen. and a narrow lace edging
is sewed around the linen. which is
then laid in narrow plaits and stitched
in place
An oblong piece of fine white cotton
wolfe with pointed end has three tiny
thread tucks on the point run by hand.
Wide lace Is then sewed fast to the
edge. with the corners inferred where
the point turns. This is then laid in
triple box plait, the straight edge
turned over and sewed down and a row
of small black satin buttons sewed
down the center.
From the topmost button two little
inverted revers of black satin extend
halfway to the point This makes q
novel looking jabot.
The jabot of embroidery. net and
Irish lace is very elaborate, but with
little trouble II can be made at home.

The decorations may be dainty and
pretty, but startling colors may be well

The trimmings can be used for trifies.
Various candied fruits cut in small
pieces may be mixed with the cake and
good boiled custard poured over.
Decorate with more pieces OF candied

eggs may be left out when making the

Fresh fruit when served should be
prepared before being placed on the

with pith removed. and the fruit divid-

out with the point of knife. Pears

A CONVENIENT way to bone high

fold over the end of the tape and sew

STREET CLEANING LONG AGO
Franklin's Autobiography Tells How
He Promoted the First Contract
Job in Philadelphia,

Recently at one of the luncheons OF
the City Club of Philadelphia there
was read an extract from the auto.
biography of Benjamin Franklin
which was said to describe the first
instance of street cleaning by con.
tract in Philadelphia. The incident is
interesting also, however, as illustrat.
ing citizen cooperation in its original
simplicity.
"One day." Franklin wrote, "I found
a poor Industrious man, who was will.
ing to undertake keeping the pave
ment clean by sweeping 1t twice a
week, carrying off the dirt from be.

sum of six-pence per month, to be

"And you will doubtless never carry
