THIN GOWN is THE DECREE
Idea Certainly a Pretty One, Though
There Should Be Much Discretion
Exercised in Its Wear.

Paris has decreed that once again
the winter gown shall be diaphanous,
carried out in chiffon or muslin vel
vet, or at very thickest crepe de Chine
or almost gauzy satin. Except in the
~severest weather there is something
to be said for these dresses, when
they are worn by the ~possessors of
magnificent furs. A long fur coat is
far too warm to be healthy, If worn
over a thick dress, except Oh very ex-
ceptional days.
Unfortunately a fashion may be in
tended for one class, but it will be
copied by others, and the result Of
such a mode as that Of the thin win
ter gown spells pneumonia for a good
many people. However, at least the
frocks are pretty, especially when
trimmed with fur. Fur and old lace
combined are a very fashionable trim
ming at the moment, although a IA
nous French dressmakers has de-
nounced the mixture as in bad taste,
and being bad art.
For the. evenings, of course, thin
gowns have it all their own way. Even
brocades have now been brought to
such a degree of lightness and sup
pIeness that they are practically like
gauze. Indoor gowns are still being
trimmed with pink or pale ground
canoes, and they were also seen on
hats and coats, so those who possess
theca. fna menfS can still wear
them in this very effective manner.

SMART CRAvATS AND STOCKS
ommend 1t, viii Be Welcomed
Back to Favor.

One rejoices to see that again we
are to wear cravats and stocks OF
folded black silk and satin, with small
t~urned-down stock collars of white
lawn showing narrowly at the top.
Severe as it is, this is the most be-
coming form of neckwear possible, and
if the lawn turnover is not starched
(but the laundress will stiffen it if
she gets the chance) the severity is
by no means too great. The finishing
touches of the cravat, too, help to re-
move the touch of sternness. Neat
and small the bow may be-but with
what pointed ends, and with how
much dash in it's crisp lines! A very
smart notion is to hare the bow ct
the base of the throat made of mar
row ribbon, three-quarters of an inch
wide. This enables the bow to have
the requisite spring in its lines, and
also to be small, where ribbon of the
same width as hat around the neck
is altogether too flowing. For the lit
tie lawn turnovers, plain hemstitching
is the ideal adornment, though a nor
row edging Of crochet is permissible,
or a little white embroidery. Small
pin-in bows in spotted foulards or soft
satin are also much worn just now.

SKIN TROUBLE ITcHED BADLY

R. F. D. No. g.. Waterloo, N. VI
noticed a red spot near my baby
Edith's eye. Pimples began to come
up and water oozed out. l put on
ointment but it kept getting worse
and in a week it had spread over
nearly the whole side Of her face.
1t made her look very bad at the
time. 1t seemed to itch very badly
80 that 1 was obliged to keep her
hands tied so she could not scratch
1t. The sores came like water bis
ters, quite red and when she did
scratch them the water and blood
would ooze out and run down her face,
and then dry in a nasty, yellowish,
thicklooking scab, only to get rubbed
OFF and bleed again.
II used -- Salve, but 1t was too
harsh for her tender skin. 1 was ad-
vised to go to a specialist, but wanted
to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment
first SO sent for samples. They seemed
to soothe at once In a day or so l
could see plainly that the sores were
healing. l bought a SOC box Of Cuti-
cura Ointment and some Cuticura
Soap. l kept OF and in a month her
face was as free from sores as any
body's; she was entirely cured"

PLEASANT TIME IN PROSPECT
Bachelor Brother Now Knows Some
thing of the Duties That Fell to
the Young Mother.

Il was visiting my married sister
In Toledo last week." relates Buck"
Halves. she's got q ~three-year-old
kid, and. while l am fairly fond of
children, l am a bachelor and some
what sot in my ways. I was rather
dismayed; therefore, when my sister
proposed leaving me in the house with
the child one afternoon. And here's
what she said:
Don't put yourself to a bit OF
trou6le-he can take care of himself.
See that he doesn't climb up to the
pantry shelves and keep an eye on
him SO that he won't get into any
mischief. Ho won't annoy you. Don't
let him go down cellar and watch that
he doesn't get hold Of the books in
the library, and he'll mus himself
all right. If he cries, give him a cooky,
and If that doesn't stop him, ride him
on your back. But don't let him
bother you a bit. I'll be home in an
hour!'"-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

MADE FROM BANDS OF FUR
coliarettes That Have Become the
Rage Are of What Seems Some
what Queer Combination.

Smart Pa~risiennes are wearing col
iarettes Of fur combined with lace or
velvet. These are wonderfully pref
ty and add just the correct touch to a
gown or coat suit.
Short strips Of fur, Just long enough
to encircle the throat and too small
to use for any other purpose, are lined
with white satin.
Pleated .frills of lace are then
stitched by hand on both the top and
bottom of the fur band. Three hooks
and eyes join the ~collarette at the side
and a bow or rosette Of lace, with ends
eight or ten inches long, conceals the
fastening.
Strips of fur one or two inches in
width can be used effectively to bor-
der a center strip of velvet or fur.
A lovely combination Is ermine and
sapphire-blue velvet. Stitch the mar
row strips of white fur to the band Of
velvet and border 1t with knife-pleat-
cd frills of velvet or tulle. Use white

GIVES COLLAR RIGHT TOUCH
Dainty Design of Trailing Flowers
and Foliage Makes a Pretty Fin
ish for the Neck.

Those who admire dainty neckwear
will embroider q collar, using net as
4 foundation.
Be careful when purchasing the net
that you select a firm quality, with
not too large a mesh. Cut the collar
the desired shape and stamp it with
4 simple design of trailing flowers
and foliage, a festoon Of tiny blossoms
Or a chain of daisy heads arranged
one after the other.
Pad the petals and leaves length
wise with darning cotton and stitch
across this, using soft mercerized cot
ton. Buttonhole stitch the outside
edge in scallops and finish with a
trill Of narrow valenciennes lace.
Bind the neck line with a bias
strip of lawn, which slips beneath
the dress, insuring a well-htting col
lar. A butterfly bow of embroidered
net, or a jabot if preferred, gives a
dainty finish to the collar.

EASY TO REPAIR FURNITURE
How Weak Parts May Be Strength
ened and Article Saved for
Future Use.

Dry rot is common in old furniture,
and sometimes a piece is too good to
throw away; the weak part can be
strengthened in this way: Scrape
the rotten wood from the piece Of
furniture, then spray the part with
coal oil. Make a mixture of beeswax,
melted rosin and sawdust and fill
the holes. This will harden and make
a perfect wood cement. If the wood
is a dark mahogany color. add some
melted sealing wax to the mixture;
keep it hot when applying it to the
wood. When vanished it does not
show the patch.
When a round breaks in a chair do
not remove the back or leg of the
chair, wherever the damage is done;
pull the round from the chair, repair
1t If it is possible, then with an auger
make one Of the holes a half inch
deeper. This will allow the round to
slip down into the deepened hole, af-
ter which the opposite end a be
lifted in place and glued.
The piece should lie fiat while dry
ing, or the round will slip out of place.
This saves the trouble of removing
other parts to remedy small break.

The initials of The recipient can be

Silk in some dark shade of color
should be selected, as it will show and
wear less quickly than more lightly
colored material; this little case would
look very well carried out in grey
silk with red ribbon and initials work
ed in a color 10 match the latter.
The initials, by the way, must. of
course, be worked upon the material
prior to covering the cardboard, and
some pretty little floral design might
be embroidered in place of them, if
preferred.

Wedding Bells.

Miss Mary c. Belknap, the we'll
known settlement worker of Cleve-
land, said in a suffrage debate:
"Oh, that is not an argument-that
is a prophecy, a prophecy that wom-
an, given the vote, wouldn't know how
to use it.
"Now it's my opinion that the men
who think that are as badly in the
dark about women as jerks was
about the widowed stenographer.
Jerks, you know, got to taking a
young and pretty stenographer out to
lunch, and to matinees, and to con-
certs; and when any one asked him
about her, he'd smile and say:
"'Oh, another conquest
Jerks, you see, thought he'd made
a conquest; but the widow, standing
beside jerks a month later at the al
tar-the widow knew she'd made an
annexation"

BLAME FOR TITANIC DISASTER
 SHARED BY CAPTAINS SMITH,
 AND LORD OF THE CALIFORNIAN
Congress Tenders Thanks
 And Gold Medal To RostrOn

Washington. May 2s.-The formal thanks of Congress to the steamer carpathia's officers and crew for the rescue of the Titanic survivors were expressed in a joint resolution which was passed today by the Senate. The House will take prompt action. The resolution is the first of three measures introduced by Senator William Allen smith, after his speech in the Senate today and the presentation of his re- port for the commerce committee on the investigation of the Titanic dis aster
 The resolution provides that Captain Rostron shall be presented with a gold medal inscribed to show that he has been thanked by Congress for saving the lives of S74 women ant children. and 3S0 men. and that 5000 be ap- propriated for the medal.
 Two other measures were introduced and referred to the commerce com mittee. One was a bill requiring that every steel vessel carrying 100 or more passengers must have "a watertight skin inboard from the forward col- lision bulkhead not less than two thirds of the length of the vessel, and
