Tape and Buttons

The mother of several children has
profited by the example set by manu-
facturers of some of the ready-made
She has substituted a
narrow tape wherever possible for
thread She threads the tape through
the holes of the button and then the
tape is stitched or sewed into place
The tape WILL not cut out as the
thread does, and will last, as rule,
as long as the article itself. If the
tape would prove unsightly on the
same side as the buttons, she makes
a small hole in the material and
pushes the tape through it, stitching
the tape into place on the wrong side.

The Air of Summit

Dear MISS DOOM
Kindly give me your opinion as to the
all year around climate Of Summit, N. j.
Is it, as ! have been told, extremely not
in summer and extremely sold in winter
As the altitude is about $50 to 600 feet
above sea level, / presume the summer
nights must be nice and cool. Thanking
you in advance. TO- b.
| am told that Summit air is de-
lightfully free from moisture, and
that in consequence the hottest days
of summer are not dreaded like they
are in Newark. Some Summit en-
thusiasts go as far as TO state that
there are no hot days, but this sounds
to me like Stretching the blanket"
The winters there are most agreeable,
because. the air is dry and the cold
is "crisp."

not dream before the wedding of hav-
ing his own way in his own house, es-
peeially as to the things which most
affect him. Who has better right
to it? Free rein is good for a man
like your husband. He likes to feel
that he is able to govern himself,
Then, you know, it is so dangerously
easy to make the head of the family
feel that he is only the breadwinner;
that his own tastes and wishes don't
count.

Dear Miss Doom !:

My hair is getting very dark, and
wish you would tell me of something 10

growing on the forehead.
MILDRED A.
You forgot to tell me the natural
color of your hair, l cannot advise
you without knowing this, but can
tell you to beware of peroxide, soda
and other bleaching agents. Let me
hear from you again, Electricity is
the only permanent way of removing
superfuous hair. Rubbing the hairs
with peroxide of hydrogen and am
monia, equal parts, will bleach them
and in time cause them to break off
close to the head.

Mrs. William d. kirkpatrick is
chairman of the Housewives League,
which was formally organized yester-
day afternoon under the auspices of
the Contemporary, at the Second
Presbyterian Church. The reduction
of the high cost of living and cleanli-
ness in the condition of food supplies
are the things that the league is
built upon. The members of the

their tradesmen having sanitary
places. All food that is not in wrap
pers or in sealed packages must be
in a glass case or covered in some
manner.
They must inspect all groceries.

must insist that not one individual

as whole.
Mrs. Julian Heath. president of the
National Housewives League, spoke
briefly on the pans and aims of the
league. She urged the women to
learn the market prices and to be

that price. she said that the women
must be consistent in their work and
at all times and all places keep
within the rules of the league An
honest tradesman who keeps an
honest store will welcome the league
and the unfair and insanitary one
will give in when he sees his trade
leave him.
Mrs. Henry II. Dawson, president
of the Contemporary, presided at the
meeting. The program was in the
hands of Mrs. William A. Disbrow
who has had charge of the forming
of the league. Mrs. Kirkpatrick II
