BY JULIA CHANDLER MANz.

The advent of August brings thoughts
of the fast approaching school year, and
the wise mother begins her preparation
early for it. particularly IL her young
daughter is among the hundreds who
are going away from home to school
The matter of the school wardrobe Is
not SO serious a matter TO the mother
whose children are all going TO school
in their home town, for she can make
a frock here and there 40 I'LL out the
supply of clothes as need demands, but
the girl who leaves home for school
in September and does not return per-
haps until the Christmas holidays must
go prepared for many months, and the
manner of clothes she carries will prove
a vital factor in the reception she re-
ceives from her schoomates, for young
girls are like other folk in the matter Of

a girl has come by the taste with which
she dresses.

in itself that mother should be very care
full in planning the froclEs for the school

Before beginning to make the new
dresses the practical thing is to go care
fully over last years frocks, seeing

SUITABLE GIFTS
FOR THE TRAVELLER

II you are an intimate friend Of the
traveller departing for q trip abroad,
don't waste money on flowers and con-
fectionery. but send her or him some
thing that will be really useful while on
tour. II money is no object, send a toilet
case covered on the outside with laven-
der, blue. or rose brocaded silk, and on
the inside with white rubber. Thee
luxurious looking articles contain a
comb. brushes. and cases for soap, pow
der. tooth paste. perfume. nail polish and
cold cream of English ivory. and q little
rubber side pocket for the face CLOTH
Any woman traveller will be glad to re-
ceive one of the Pullman kimonos of
embroidered Japanese silk that fold into
small matching cases. a toothbrush
holder of pierced silver that turns back
and clasps over the bristles and takes up
very little space. a smart and dainty
parasol that will fold three times and
fit into a small suit case. or a powerful
but small-siEed pair of opera glasses in a
chamois case.
Any man traveller will welcome the
shaving pad that opens like a book. is
bound in dark leatherette. and has a
small mirror set in its top: a vacuum
pocket flask with a drinking cup at its
bottom where it takes up no room, or a
folding umbrella that may be slowed in
the coat or trousers pockets.

Perfumes That Have
Remarkable ROmdnces
CFrom the Social Register.)

Perfume, its power and alluring fea-
lures, date back to ancient Egyptian
times. when Cleopatra, in planning her
meeting with Marc Antony. commanded
that her body be impregnated with the
Oriental odors OF her Independent and
knowing selection. And chronicles Of all
ages are abundant with evidence Of the
influence exerted by this essential toilet
accessory throughout the entire social
scheme of life.
One Of the famous perfumes Of history,
which has played important parts in the
affairs of men. and nations, has recently
been discovered to be a simple compound
Of products to be found in our drug stores
today. 1t Is now known that formal con-
centrate, drams Of IL. dissolved in
ounces Of deodorized alcohol, will produce
this identical bouquet. Flornal concen.
trate. because Of a remarkable chemical
action induced by uniting 1t with the al
cohol. gives forth an odor surprising
sweet and rare. The ingredients being 30
very inexpensive. any one can afford to
adopt this marvellous perfume.
Flornal concentrate Is sold and rec.

HairdressinEs from Paris.

The Dry Goods Economist says that
very little change has taken place in
hairdressing styles in Paris within the
last six months.
Practically no false hair is worn ex-
cept in the form Of a false front, or even
in some instances a wig, which with
either the side or center part is waved
In stimulation Of the natural hair. This
is drawn down over the ears and knot
ted at the back to form a casque or
French roll.
The apparent desire is to completely
outline the shape of the head, so that
there is no place in which a switch, or
braid, or even pufs or curls. may be
used.
The present form Of hairdressing has
brought about the very general adoption
Of Jewel-headed pins. These first ap-
peared in real jewelry and are now very
extensively copied in less expensive
form.
Among the most popular are the nat,
two-pronged pins, with rounded ends. in
which rhinestones are incrusted. either
set solid or arranged to carry out some
design.

soutached Belt. for Children.

Four-inch-wide belts are the smart ac-
cessory for tots-girls or boys-to wear
with their linen and crash frocks. Any
mother who has time to do fancy needle
work can make one OF these belts, as
they are simply of dark-toned denim. Gre
tonne or fiowered linen embroidered with
fine soutache in white or q pale shade
OF rose. blue. green, or maize. The braid
is not applied natly. but on edge, 50 that
it shall boldly stand out from the foun-
dation material, and It does not appear
upon the edges OF the belt, which are
turned under and blind-stitched. There
are no buckle fastenings. One end OF
the strip is sharply pointed and hooked
invisibly far over the other end. which
Is square cut.

EFFECTIVE WAYS OF
PLACING FURNITURE

A well-known furniture dealer says
IL women would have furniture appear
at its best advantage 1t should never
he set with all lines the same way. Not
that things should go every which
way" as the children say, but the mo-
notony must be broken.
For instance: Suppose there is a
Davenport or a couch of some sort ir
the living room. 1t will look much 'bot-
ter il backed up against a table or p, s.
sibly across a corner than just at one
side against the wall. II should be ar
ranged in some way TO look comfortable,
somewhere near a window or where the
light may be near a table that any per
Son sitting or lying on the couch can see
to read II he or she desires
An intelligent study OF the rooms Of
those who can afford 10 let their taste
run to the best examples will show thst
tables, couches. &c, are nearly always
near the center of the room instead o.:
standing primly against the walls Such
an arrangement makes the room look l0c
per cent better than any other, Simply
because they show a reason for owning
these pieces Of furniture.
Every room should have a center of
some kind. Usually a fireplace is in
such a position. Take this as a center
about which to group chairs, &c. and
stiffness vanishes. the piano. a pretty
table with an electroller or lamp, a big
easy chair. a tea table with its perfect
equipment, all or any of these placed
handily give homelike cir that is very
attractive and charming.
Sofa cushions may be placed at differ
ent angles. pictures rehung and bright
little rugs laid on another side of Tn.
room, vases and other bric-a-brac may
be moved to other places in the room.
and the housewife may so vary the mo
notony of her room that it seems to
gain life to those who are obliged to

THE CHILDREN's CORNER.
A Bean Bag Set.

Dear Girls: Perhaps there are some of
you wondering what you can give to your
brother or some friend for birthday
gift, something you know will be liked.
and that you can make yourself.
How would a set of bean bags do? Not
only do young folks like these; II your
auntie or some grown friend has house
in the country where she has young
people visit her frequently, it is quite
certain that she would like a set Of bean
bags for the use of her guests.
So why not spend a little time en-
broidering a set of butterfly bean bags?
I am giving you a design for the en-
broidery. but you will have to enlarge It.
and feel sure you can do so.
II you find you do not get the desired
shape by drawing, why not cut the
shapes of the fore and under wings and
then mark around these, leaving the
same distance all around? Then you can
cut out these enlarged designs and mark
around them on. the cloth. In this way
there should be no difficulty in getting a
satisfactory design.
You can make the bags Of any color.
As for material, denim Is excellent.
Mark the design and then outline 1t In
simple Kensington stitch. 1t will be good
practice for you, and II quite simple
to do.
Cut the pieces OF cloth seven by i've
and half inches. This allows for quarter
inch seams on a good-sized bag. Here's
wishing you success.

These things forbear: Debts, which eat

habits, which come to be masters, and
pretense, which involves one beyond his
ability to perform.
These things cast away: Antipathies,
for which a reason cannot be given;
anger. which breeds hard words, and de-
