There are two occasions in grill

IL her wedding and the other Is the COM

PARTISAN GOSSIP ON

here. whether OF domestic or foreign
manufacture. and once having become
accumstomed to the radical change. there
is no doubt that corsets. built on the
new lines, and made Of pliable materials.
are here to stay.
This is largely due to the fact that the
change from the old TO new style means
absolute comfort to the wearer, as heNt-
bilIty is the keynote Of all perfected
models. and while the low bust and curve
less waist continues. much Of the desired
soft-effect is accentuated BY the ma
terials used. silk ard cotton Tricot. with
the new Leather" cloth being among the
favored materials for their construction.
In spite of reports TO the contrary. the
later models show a decided tendency TO
lower the waist line. and aside from the
long. narrow front steels. most Of the
boning Is massed at the back, thus as
surfing perfect ease and freedom. and is
particularly adapted to well developed
figures. With all corsets. like all figures.
bra ss!eres are a positive necessity. and
are shown in the widest range OF style
and materials.

CHILDREN'S FEELINGS EASILY HURT

1t would seem as IL any parent who
remembers ever having been young in
his or her own person would have tact
and consideration enough not to humili-
ate their children in their own eyes or
those OF their associates
Young people are peculiarly sensitive
as to the opinions of their companions
Those opinions mean a great deal to
them-ten times as much as anybody S
opinion will mean ten years from now.
They feel any differences in the fam
ily's way Of living. any shortcomings in
the dress or appeara nee or conversation
Of their parents as compared with that
Of their companions far more keenly
than they will in later years. because
as yet their observation has been too
limited and their standards are as yet
too uniformed to apprise them that the
things that seem so vital now will one
day assume far less Importance.
The young Peoples newborn sense Of
Independence. of self-government, their
jealousy of their ability to look out for
and judge for themselves, make them
impatient of restraint and reproof They
are no longer children and they resent
being treated as children. Wise parents
open their eyes to the fact that as their
children enter the teens the style Of
government that sufficed in the digits is
intudicious: that allowance must be
made for development: that the arbitrary

POCKETS BEING ADDED
TO WOMAN'S TOILET

During the past year the pocket has
been slowly and steadily regaining ii.
position in woman's toilet. and even so
daring an innovation as a sleeve pocket
has now been made possible. This is
quite the latest fashion the new form
Of pocket being chiefly intended as a re-
ceptacle for the tiny fan which is so
much in vogue at present
The pocket is usually inserted in the
sleeve Just below the elbow, the aper-
ture being cleverly concealed with lace
or chiffon, so that its presence Is not
even suspected until the fair wearer sud
denly produces a miniature embroidered
fan. apparently out Of her arm.
The fan pocket is TO he found on
either sleeves OF smart afternoon
gown. and in some costumes one or
other of the cuffs is frequently provided
with a pocket after the same style.
Although originally intended only TO
hold the fan. as in China, the sleeve
pocket has been found SO convenient
that IT is also used TO hold a lace
handkerchief. and there Is no doubt that
its dimensions will increase when sleeves
assume larger proportions.

How to Transfer.

Here are suggestions for transferring
the pattern before you to any material
before working
Perhaps the easiest way Is the win
dow-pane" method. This is successful
when the material is thin. like linen,
batiste. &c. Pin the sheet of paper and
the material together. and hold them up
against the glass Of a window. With a
sharp pencil draw on the material the
design. which can be easily seen through
the goods. II one-half Of the design only
be given. unpin the paper and turn the
other side to the fabric. The strong
light behind will make II plain.
II you have carbon paper. you should
place the sheet between your fabric and
the newspaper. This latter is on top.
With a sharp pencil go over the outline
of the design. The impression will be
left in fine lines and will last until
worked. This method is successful on
heavy material
The last way is also easy. On wax
paper or ordinary tissue paper trace the
pattern before you. When the design is
completed. turn over the paper and out
line the pattern with heavy lead PEN
ell. Then place the design down on the
fabric and redraw the outline. pressing
hard with the pencil. The pattern will
be transferred without difficulty.
Surely the way Is easy

LINGERIE RIBBON HOLDERS
MADE IN NOVEL FORMS

Lingerie ribbon holders are made in
various ways. One sort Is very like the
panel hairpln holder first described, save
that the several pockets are placed one
above the other at the bottom OF the
strip Of sash ribbon instead Of straight
across II. and just above the uppermost
pocket in ivory ribbon-runner fits into
tiny strap. Another sort of lingerie
ribbon holder consists OF two ribbon
covered cardboard circles OF four-inch
diameter held together by a large spool
whose tunnel comes against hole
pierced In the center Of each. BY run
ming two narrow ribbons through this
series of holes and securing two ends
at opposite sides of the top circle and
the other two ends at opposite sides Of
the lower circle, the spool will move
sufficiently to allow the lingerie ribbon
which It holds TO be unwound. The same
principle may be applied in the case OF
three spools Joining two circles. and in
that way lingerie ribbons Of three coIors
may be supplied.

Concerning discipline. that hard factor
In childhood-yes, and in manhood, wom-
anhood-do parents always quite realize
that what they fail TO do for the little
ones in love and gentle kindness viii be
dealt cut unsparingly and harshly by
stranger hands7
For one Of the hard truths that pa
rental love can In no wise soften -
found In the fact that discipline must
come sooner or later. And when II is
left to unloving hands there is no pa
tience. no sympathy In II. nothing but
heartache and disbursement
And that is the memorable part of 1t.
It il temptingiy easy to argue that, at
best. life is short and that 1t Is only the
brief period Of childhood that has any
chance to be care-free, light Of spirit.
and really happy-so why not give It the
benefit Of that one chance without the
nagging. curbine effect Of discipline?
And viewed through the eyes of mother
love, father love, it often may seem the
kindly thing just to drift along and let
the little faults take care OF themselves
the little wills go ,undsturbed-
But what of the long years Of woman
hood and ma nhood when the hard disci-
pline OF life comes with its cruel lessons?
For try to escape II as We may, IL Will
come. 1t may or may not be too late
to profit by the lessons. They may come
just as a cruel awakening and may leave
no healing in their trail. or they may
bring realization of the fact that out in
the world IL 1t is no bigger or wider than
the social world there is no happy, COM
Portable place for the self-willed, I'M
yielding man or woman.
And you know. hard as II may be for
the boy and the girl to render obedience
and to yield TO the loving correction of
faults, that is as nothing when one
thinks Of the boy and the girl grown to
the man and the woman in the heartless
school of experience.
Mothers are more frequently concerned
with child discipline than are fathers,
and IL they close their eyes and think
ahead to the time when their little ones
step cut from the shelter of love into the
world where wills conflict and DISPOSE
tons clash, don't you believe they might
realize that a little less freedom, a little
more curbing to-day would surely bring
q little less heartache, a little easier way
tomorrow?
The failures in life, not the money
failures, just the human-failures-what
do you suppose is back of them? Any
thing more serious than lack of con-
formity. resentment of the ways and the
whims of others and refusal to smile
in the face of cold discipline. which is
not dealt out lovingly and gently as in
childhood days?
1t is a pity, too, but sometimes ii
happens that when the postponed les
sons have all been learned and the tired.
