A Belated Wedding Announce
ment
ment

Ny dear Miss Doom:
/ wrote you last week and haven't had
an answer yet ! suppose you are very
busy, so | will repeat 1t. | rave been
married nearly a year and have kept 1t
secret, so | could help home until my
brother finished school and got a position.
Now. ] am ready to announce it. Will
you tell me, please, how the invitations
should be gotten up. Our priest has
offered to come to the reception and an
nounce it for us. Thanking you In ad-
vance. A CONSTANT READER.
l do not remember to have seen
your former letter, while not at all
doubling hat you wrote 1t. 1t is true
that / am always busy, but never-
theless try to give due attention TO
the communications of my esteemed
correspondents. But they must re-
member that my mail is heavy and
the space allotted to this department
is necessarily limited, so that it is
impossible to print replies to their
letters in all cases Immediately; they
must take their turn in regular course
unless there is some very pressing
anc apparent need for haste. Some
of my friends seem, also, to forget
the notice to them at the head of
this column, that their letters must
contain their names and addresses.
These are treated in the utmost con-
feence and are v printed. but are
REQUIRED as an evidence of genuine
r.ess and good faith.
Now, as to your inquiry. l am sure
you acted from pure and worthy mo-
tives, and l am not called upon to
enter into the question of the wis
den, of your course in keeping the
fact of your marriage secret Sc long.
Your parents are living, l suppose,
ard, of course, know that their daugh-
ter is now a matron. And ] assume
that the invitations to the reception
are desired to be made in writing. In
that case the announcement of the
marriage should be made by your
parents or in their name, and should
state the date and place of, and the
name of the clergyman officiating at
the wedding (unless vol prefer for
some reason to have the particulars
OF the ceremony communicated to the
guests at the reception, by your pa
rents or spiritual adviser). The invl-
tuition should request the pleasure of
the company. at the reception. of the
person so invited, and should state
that a. reply to the invitation is de-
sired. (This in order that you nay
know how many guests to expect n
To provide for). The invitations Will,
of course. give the date, hour n
place at which the reception is to De
held. The fact of you marriage and
the date of it will doubtless be a sur
p1ise to your friends, but l do not see
why you should much care about
that, since your motives were disin-
tcrested and good. | hope the affair
will be a pleasant one, as have no
doubt it will be. and tina you may
have a long and happy married lie
with abundance of true felicity IN
every way.

Straight Lines Are Taboo and Frls Run Riot in
Newest Frocks--A Prophecy Of Fall Fashions
BY MAYBELLE MORTIMER.

Fashion seems determined that T.. e
straight silhouette must go.
We are finding all sorts of little
furbelows and frills tucked about on
u frocks where we least expect
them. No longer is there a straight
line from bust to feet. making us look
somewhat like an Egyptian mummy
with a part of its s%waddling wraps
still on.
There are to be found "sashes,'
"~overskirts." 'peplums' and polo
naise," only we don't call them by
these anne any more. Sashes mas
querade as IAN ornamental trimming
at the waistline, overssxirts are called
TUNES" peplums are designated as
skirts to the blouse and the polo
naise has become a "panner skirt"
There "ain't goin' to be no straight
lines no more" which will be good
news to the stout lady. Even the
straight line around the bottom of
the skirt which we have considered
absolutely necessary is III of date.
A gown will have an unexpected
slash at the side or front or it will
be cut OF Topped into scallops all
about the bottom. l think the seal
Hoped skirt is especially pretty and
when the scallops are edged about
the bottom with a tiny ruffie or knife
pleating the effect is most quaint and
pleasing.
The gown illustrated is OF change
able taffeta in green and blue. The
skirt has a little fulness at the waist
line and is about two yards around
the bottom. Skirts are growing wider.
At the top of each scallop is a stiff
t~hree-eared bow. The Ornamental
trimming at the waist" is made of
two rather wide pieces of the silk,
one put over the other and trimmed
about with narrow knife pleating.
The waist is the ~old-fashioned hebe
of our grandmothers' day, worn over
an under bodice of shadow lace.
(This fall the finer laces will be more
worn than the heavy ones that have
been so popular this summer).
This little frock would be very
pretty made of pink yoile with silk
pleatings. This would make a very
inexpensive party dress as a smart
girl who was clever at dressmakins
could make 1t at home. The whole
costume is simple in extreme, but it
has the air of being strictly up-to-
date.
The hat shown on this figure is one
of the promises of the fall when
freakish headgear will be strictly IN
vogue.

FOR TINY CHILDREN
BY MAY MANTON

Tiny children are charmingly at
tractive In just such simple little
dresses as this one and busy moth
ers are sure to like this one because
it can be so easily and quickly made.
The sleeves can be made to the ell
bows or in three-quarter length and
the neck finished with a little frill or
with a standing collar, but whatever
the treatment the dress remains
dainty and childish in effect. In this
case, handkerchief lawn is finished
with lace banding and the yoke Is cut
from all-over embroidery, but the
same model is as well adapted to ma
terials for harder usage as to the
Amer ones, and 1t can be made from
Dresden lawn with a hem only and a
yoke of white tucking, to he very at
tractive or 1t could be made from
any material that can be used for the
little folk, with trimming and finish
adapted to the special one. The dress
is cut all in one piece. gathered and
Joined to a yoke so thai there are
very few seams to be sewed. The
sleeves, however, are slightly full and
sewed to the armholes. AS the lower
edge is straight, bordered material
or founcing can be used and as such
materials make their own finish, they
always reduce the labor of making.
For the 2-year size the dress will
require 2M yards of material q, Us

. BIG TOWNS MILK SUPPLY

Milwaukee has an effective system
for keeping its milk supply pure.
The city keeps ar eye on all the dali
ries that sell in Milwaukee. and every
once in a while it publishes the san
itary score" of the whole list.
Last month the leading dairy had a
score of 9S.5: the tailender a score of
24.5. It's safe to say that not many
folks who see the report OF the health
department will buy of the PAS dairy
till It's score goes up.

MILK FOR BABY

The dangerous age for milk is
the time just before it gets sour
enough to betray itself to the taste.
Milk may thus be palatable and
harmless to an adult and very dan
gerous to an infant.
So. see to it that the milk you use
for your. baby Is fresh, not more
than a day old at least. Get certi-
fed milk If you can, and ear afford
it. Otherwise get the best pasteur-
lied milk you can find. Especial
care should be taken in this matte
from this time on throughout til
summer.

HEY, FELLERS! SHE'S ONE TO EN- AT LAST! But
WHAT IF THE BUTTONS COME OFF,?
This is de auestion:

This Is the question::
VIII she now learn to appreciate
the vital significance and importance
Of s%uspender buttons2
That's the main consideration. A
secondary consideration is this:
Will she follow the tradition and
use ten-penny nails when emergen-
cies arise?
These questions naturally arise in
the light of the latest cable bulletin
from Paris. which says that women
are now wearing suspenders to keep
their skirts up.
The dispatch, which was relayed
through London, really said braces
but suspenders is what they meant.
There's nothing of the Tuxedo or in
visible system about them, either.
They are sure enough galluses, worn
outside and without a belt, in The
good old American style.
Also, they are worn over rea
shirts.
And the skirts they hold up are so
folded and creased as to resemble a
pair Of trousers.
The woman who adopts this style"
says the cable. appears like a man In
his shirt sleeves. She wears a real
shirt blouse. Over this appear
braces, attached to the top of the
skirt by buttons.
THE skirt has no belt. The top of
the skirt comes over the shirt. There
are trousers pockets on each hip.
The skirt is folded over in trousers
form from the waist down"
All of which is fine reading for the
male citizen.
He will now sit back quietly and
watch to see what the lady does
when her suspender buttons drag
anchor.

There is no such a thing as safe
and effective anti-fat drug. But there
is a certain specific for corpulency.
II never fails. 1t is this;
Eat less"
Reduction in the amount of food
taken below a certain point will re-
duce flesh without doing any harm.
To find that point weigh your food
and yourself daily, reducing the
amount of food till your own weight
begins to fall. Then keep inside the
deadline in your eating and take
plenty of exercise. That's natures

Croton Bugs; How to Get Rid

what is the best way to get rid of them
They are in the wall. Hoping your ad-
vice will help me. MRS. E. NJ.
A friend of mine has used the fol-
lowing remedy with excellent results:
Mix two parts of powdered borax
with one part Of sugar; scatter about
and in the cracks and crevices. Paris
green is also used with good effect,
but, remember, 1t is a poison and
should not be used il there are small
children in the household. There are

Absolute cleanliness in the kitchen
and around sinks is essential. The
bugs are scavengers, and IL they find
nothing to eat will go elsewhere.
Sometimes the pests are travellers
from neighboring houses or flats,
where perhaps the sanitary con-
d.tions are not what they should be.
The visitors then are doubly annoy
ing, as their presence is due to no
fault of ones own In addition to the
remedies l have suggested, that of

good results. Try them all II one does
not produce the desired results within
a reasonable time, and. besides when
ever o see a roach, swat" him.

warfare with them you will be freed
from their obnoxious presence. If
your neighbors are also afflicted in
the same way engage them in the
warfare, too, if possible.

CARDS freckles as "a
freak of nature rath-
er than a veritable
disease" and thinks
they are analogous
to the piebald ap-
pearance met with in
the lower animals"
And he says that IL
we examine closely
the skin of an indi-
vidual who is aff1ict-
ed with freckles at
any other season of
the year we will find
the same spots. but
of a somewhat g h
er color than In
summer. All that
summer does to a
freckled skin is to
make them visible by
making the s n
more transparent.
If the sun caused
freckles we would
find that the south
ern brunette races
would be troubled
with the p e s t s,
whereas they are less
liable to them than
the ~yellow-haired and
especially the red
haired individuals of
the North.
