THE NEW PANNIER SKIRT
BY MAY MANTON

Undoubtedly the draped or pannier
skirt has become an accepted feature
of prevailing styles. Illustrated is one
of the most graceful. 1t is arranged
over a circular foundation, and that
foundation can be made either in
walking length or with a train, with
the result that the skirt is available
for many different occasions. In the
illustration lowered radium silk Is
arranged over charmeuse. but any
two materials hat contrast effective
ly can be used. or the skirt can be
made of one material throughout. Thin
fabrics. such as chiffon, marquisette
and the like, are beautiful over satin
or charmeuse, or thin silks can be
used in two colors or in two shades
of one color. Pale green over a slight
~ darker tone is charming and vari-
Gus effects of the, sort can be planned.
Fashion declares equally for the high
and the natural waist line, and this
skirt can be finished ar either. SO that
it is adapted to all figures.
For the medium size the foundation
skirt win require 2ss yards of mate
rial q or So, or 2% yards A inches

The High School Course

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly explain to me the
different courses in the high school.
and what the advantage of one is over
the other? | am sending my little girl
termine In which course to start her.
truly, . G. H.
There are four courses in the high
school-technical, commercial, general
and classical. The advantage of any
course depends largely upon the work
your daughter intends to follow after
she leaves the high school. If o
see the slightest possibility of your
being able to send her to college at
the expiration of four years or If
she herself has ambitions in that d.
rection and thinks she will be able
to work for a couple of years in order
to procure the money for further
education, or If she starts in her high
school course with the determination
to win a scholarship, by all
have her take the classical course.
Sometimes an unexpected rise in the
family fortunes gives the parents an
opportunity to send the children to
college, but finds the children unpre-
pared to meet the requirements for
college entrance. If they are brave
enough to fight against heavy odds,
they must spend extra time in study
or enter college heavily conditioned.
If your daughter intends to teach
kindergarten or elementary chool
and wishes to go to the normal
school upon the completion OF her
high school course have her take the
general course. If you know that 1t
is absolutely impossible for her to
spend more than the four ear in
study and that at the end of that
time she must enter the business
world she will find good prepa-
ration in the commercial course,
which fits a girl for the vari-
Gus kinds of office work, in
Guiding s~tenography, typewriting.
bookkeeping. secretary work, etc.
Lastly, II your daughter has a lean
ing toward domestic work she will
enjoy the technical course which in
ciudes applied art. sewing, cooking.
household art. millinery, dressmaking,
and the chemistry of the home. From
this course she may develop a liking
IoT utSlBIiiH6 VI uohfcoliS SSic-So'
which will lead her to specialize after
she graduates.
+ believe a pamphlet of the differ
ent courses of study was distributed
to the graduates of the grammar
schools. II your daughter did not
receive one or II she has mislaid it
you can obtain one upon application
to the Board of Education. City Hall.
If you desire further advice on the
SUBJECT o probably will find some
member of the board who will be glad
to consult with you.

Costume for Masked Party
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Please advise me as to the follow
ing: I am II years old. 8 feet 9 inches
in height, with very dark brown hair
and eyes. I am going to a masoue party
and would like to have you advise me
as to a costume. | have been told I
could go we'll as a Spanish girl. Can
you tell me what completes this cos
tune. Then again, do you think. be-
cause l am dark, l could go as
'Night?" Can you tell me how this
costume should be made? Do you
think black null with gilt or silver
stars pasted on woul be all right?
If YOU can give me some other sug-
gestion as to the latter / shall APP
preciate IL very much. l would like
| to have something fluffy and thin. You
have helped me several times and I
am positive you car help me now. By
doing so you will greatly oblige.
X. Y. z.
Either of your suggestions Is very
good. and, from your description,
think you would also look well as a
gypsy. For the Spanish girl wear A
red skirt with rows of coin %spangles
around the bottom. a white blouse
waist, a red bolero trimmed with
spangles and a yellow scarf bordered
with red. tied in a kno at one side.
| With this costume wear high-heeled
slippers Of yellow with red heels. or
you may utilize a pair of black slip
pers and apply a little red paint to
the heels. Pile the hair high and hold
it In place with a shell comb. Either
drape a black lace scarf over the head
or fasten a large red rose behind the
a r Carry a brightly-colored fan,
opened.
The gypsy costume can be made a
little simpler. The skirt may be Of
some bright material, either plain or
striped, and may be worn with a plain
white blouse. The scarf should be
brightly colored and in contrast to
the skirt, and the hair should hang
loosely. A pair of large round ear
rings completes this costume.
Yes, black null with gilt or silver
stars will be a good way to repre-
sent night. Add to the stars a cres-
cent moon. Make the gown the loose.
flowing kind and have the sleeves
very loose and full, so thai when you
move your arms they will give the
effect of wings. Wave the hair and
let it hang loosely about the shout
ders. On the head wear a crown Of
stars to match the me on the gown,
and carry a torch wound around with
gold or silver paper and topped with
a star.
l am always glad to have my read
ers repeat their visits to this column.

and rub its back with talcum pow
der.
Baby lies on its back most of the
day and the extra GOODNESS the pow
der imparts is very soothing. II
during the day you cannot get out
doors with your baby and it is fret
full. take a clean wash cloth, wet in
tepid water, and lightly pat over its
entire body. While you are doing
this allow its little night dress or
slip to hang in the air. After n of
these sponge baths dust it with tai
cum and put on it's aired slip and it
will be apt to go right to sleep.
If possible, put your baby in a bath
tub at least once a day. See hoy
quick it will learn to love its daily
tub-and how it will stretch and
squirm when you dust and rub its
back with powder.
Clean and cool means comfort for

The TaImud
Dear Miss Doom

DehT MISS OOOu
VIII you kindly inform me whether
there Is an English translation of the
Hebrew Talmud,- and kindly give me
correct English "Will be opened on or
about August l, 1912" or "will be open
on or about August 1, 1927" Your kind
ness viii be greatly appreciated.
II. s. e.
Yes, there is an English translation
of the Taimud, the Michel L. Rodkin-
son translation. 1t is published by
the New Talmud Company, care G..
p. Putnam's Sons, 2 West Forty-f1fth
street, New York city. The price of
this translation is, I believe, $50.
There are selections published by Put
nam and by E. P. Dutton & Co., 81
West T~wenty-third street, New York
city, which can probably be pur-
chased at 35 or rs cents, according to
the binding.
Both of the quoted forms are cor
rect. The first refers to an action,
the second to a state of being. The
first say that the action of opening
will be performed on that date, the
second says that the office or store
will be in the state of openness on
that date. The first is the future
tense, passive voice. of ito OPEN"
the second is the future of ito be-
with the adjective attribute open"
The first form might be slightly pref
cradle in reference to an institution
or store which is opened with some
ceremonies or a reception, the second
in reference to n place of which
the proprietor wishes to notify the
patrons that business will be trans
acted there on and after a certain
date, though either form would be
correct in either case.

Social BIunder
Dear Miss Doom:


A young lady cousin of mine gave a
birthday party and allowed me to write
the invitations. In doing this I invited
some boy friends of a crowd of boys and
girls of which ] was a member, and also
one particular young lady whom I fancied
but not the rest of the girls, and on the
invitations l wrote by the request of
Miss Smith" The party was enjoyed by
all, but after the party l noticed that all
the fellows and girls who were not in
vited were angry at me. Will you kindly
print in which part was 1 wrong and
what would have peer right, and great
ly oblige. A CONSTANT READER.
1t no doubt would have been bet
ter policy to have invited the entire
group instead of just a few. 1t is
little things like this that make a
young person unpopular. 1t will
surely be best to try to make amends
for this thoughtlessness. 1t was q
great mistake to invite one without
inviting all.

Florida Salad-Owing to the fact
that all salads shoulds be served as
cold as possible. the new frozen sal
ads are gaining in popularity. They
can be made a couple of hours in adj
vance of the meal at which they are
to be served.
Florida salad is made entirely of
fruit. Cut the pulp of half a grape
fruit into small pieces. Prepare one
banana, half a pineapple and a cup
full of canned cherries in the same
way. Drain off the juice and put the
fruit on ice to become well chilled.

Juice. drained from the fruit of one
lemon. Remove all seeds. Add three
quarters of a cupful of sugar and one
teaspoonful of gelatine thai has been
moistened with one tablespoonful of
cold water and melted with half a
cupful of boiling water. Chill, then
freeze as you would an ice, and allow
to ripen at least an hour. When
ready to serve the salad place the
broken fruit over the mounds of fro
zen fruit Juice. Individual molds are
sometimes made from s~cooped-out
shells of grapefruit, oranges or pine
apples. These are prepared some
hours in advance and filled with ice,
so that they may be very cold when
1t is time to serve the salad.
Jellied Potato salad Cut a
quart of cold boiled potatoes into
cubes. season to taste with salt and
pepper and fill small molds which
have been coated slightly with gela-
tine. Pour owe the potatoes sufficient
liquid gelatine to fill the molds, using
either white aspic or plain lemon jelly
seasoned with a little parsley or onion
juice. When firm turn out on a bed
of crisp lettuce leaves, garnish with
stuffed olives and serve very cold
with maponnaise to which a cupful OF
chopped shrimps rave been added.
Frozen Cherry Salad = Take one
pint of juice drained from the
canned fruit. Add a teaspoon of gel
atine and sweeten to taste. Freeze.
Serve on lettuce leaves, pouring may
onnaise dressing over the mounds and

When and how.
Be sure that you battle your baby
every day in summer in tepid water.
In the case of a healthy baby thai
does not show N temperature this
Is enough. If, however, your baby
shows the least bit of fever, battle it
all over frequently until its temper
ature is normal.
When your baby is clean and cool
half the danger of hot weather is
abated.
Don't be afraid of bathing it at
least once a day. even il it has bowel

The cooling bath will be found of
great benefit.
After you have bathed the baby
