PARTY FOR WEE FOLKS

For children fairy party is very
attractive. The room should be
cleared of ordinary furniture and
transformed into a fairy palace.
Some painted cardboard. tree
branches, tinsel. flowers and twink
ling lights slxilfully arranged will eff
feet a most realistic transformation.
The invitations should be sent out
in the names of the fairies. and the
little guests should come as fairies
of every cline, and. if liked. charac-
tiers of well-xnown fairy tales.
In similar way it is possible TO
give a witch party in a magic cave
or a Dutch party in Dutch interior
while forethought will suggest other
ideas equally attractive and easy to
carry through successfully.
When presents are given at a chill
dren's party the following novel idea
will be found an attractive method of
distribution: Cut a cake into slices
and on the outside of each slice fasten
a present. with the name of the in
tended recipient on a little flag stuck
In the top of each piece Place the
slices in position again and tie the
cake round with broad ribbon to
keep il In shape.

WORTH REMEMBERING

Cranberries can be kept fresh for
any length of time if placed In jar
of cold water, changing the water
often.
Add a few bread crumbs to the
scrambled eggs for breakfast. They
viii improve the dish and make the
eggs go further,
When washing any garment made
of silk add a teaspoonful of methy-
lated spirit TO the water and iron
while damp. The silk will look just
like new.
In order to protect your brown
shoes polish them with a good russell
shoe polish before wearing. Spots
can then be cleaned off easily, as all
the pores of the leather are filled
with the polish.
Black walnut or bedsteads made OF
any other dark, rich-colored wood
should be cleaned occasionally with
a soft rag that has been dipped in
paraffin oil, then polish over the wood
with another rag.
To protect the bottom of a muslin
or any other lightweight cotton dress
skirt sew narrow valenciennes lace
along and under edge of the hem so
that it shows quarter Of an inch or
less below. This gives dainty
finish 10 the frock also.

A SMART NEW SKIRT
BY MAY MANTON

The skirt that is Just slightly
draped at the front while 1t is plain
at the back is one of the latest and
smartest. This one is excellent for
small women as well as for young
both for the dress and the street
suit Every fashionable material is
soft whether it is suiting or for in
door wear and, consequently, all
drape successfully. The trimming
of buttons used in the illustration is
an especially good one, for they seem
to serve the purpose of holding the
drapery in place, but, If more but
tons are liked, more groups
can be arranged above, or continuous
rows can be used from the upper edge
to the lower edges of the drapery.
There are only four pieces in the
skirt and the back and front form
panels. The finish can be made at
either the high or the natural waist
line. Broadcloth Is the material IL
Illustrated, but the new materials show
a great variety of crepe, finished fab
rics. eponge or Nratine, and fabrics
of similar kinds. The skirt is an ex-

For the 16-year size, the skirt VIII

width at the lower edge is rs yards.
The May Manton pattern of the
skirt I'LL is cut in sizes for misses OF

ment of this paper on receipt of ten
cents.

SPRING HAT

Many of the street hats are made of
tagsl straw and have underbrim Of
black velvet corded on the edge.
There is another style of chapeau
that one fears to call a todue or tur-
ban on account of the width Of the
brim. and still II has a coronet which
mysteriously forms q wing trimming
at the centre back This frame is
also covered with taeal braid. The
under brim and coronet are lined
with black velour The most inter
esting point about this hat was the
crown. 1t was completely covered
with petals made OF the velour At
the very centre of the tip was A large
bunch of yellow and green rose cen
tres.
1t is odd that no matter how beau
tiful the ribbons or feathers may be.
when spring peeps out we all have a
strong desire for flowers, and we are
quite sure our desire viii be well
satisfied. especially those people who
like handmade ribbon flowers. Why.
some of the daintiest of blossoms are
being made and placed on the ex-
IRENE edge Of the brims or artistically
caught in the velvet strings of a
bonnet.
Now, that is another interesting
point. The old folks are again going
TO wear strings. not tied under the
chin, but crossed and the ends drawn
up on each side and held in place
with a tiny cluster of forget -nots
or some small flower made of ribbon.
Others have the string secured with
a clasp of black jet

ACE WAS A SIGHT
WITH P|NPLES
And BIackheads, PimpIes Large and
Festered Up. Doctor Advised
Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
Also Cured Baby Of Milk Crust.

90 Taylor ST., Washington, N. j." Ever

blaclkheads on my face. My face was q

and all around the edges Of my hair. The
pimples itched and when | picked them 1t
made them larger and great circles Of red
around them. They disagured my face.
They were large and festered up. | used
almost everything, such as creams and
lotions. Nothing did any good. Then my
doctor told me to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. l used them faithfully night and
morning and In short time they began to
disappear and none came back. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment cured them. My face
is as soft and pure white as baby s; no pim-
pies. no blaclheads no rough skin are left.
My hair also came out In great Quantities
from the fever. l used Cutlcura Soap about
once week. putting the Cuticura Ointment
on about three hours before washing. My
hair has come back thick, long and glossy
with CLINT like gold.
:" My baby'H head had a crust on it. I
think 1t is called milk crust. 1t was sore
and had an ugly appearance. His hair all
came out. used the Cuticura Soap and

TRIMMING EVENING GOWN

Picturesqueness and elaborate style
prevail in every department of
fashion.
While the general lines of a gown
are simple, or appear so to the
casual observer, the trimmings and
establishment ideas of every descrip-
ton are gorgeous. Nothing is plain,
nothing unadorned. Colors are Won
derfuL and fabrics enchanting
Quantities of rich material, softly
draped and wound around the figure,
compose the new evening gowns
These combine satin, brocade, fur,
metallic net or chiffon, and much
lace.
The new evening fabrics are ex-
ceedingly soft and ciinging, and even
a gown of velvet brocade draped over
a petticoat of satin, does not weigh
more than a half dozen pounds, while
the lace and satin party gowns may
be measured in weight by ounces. =.

married, or who are just married with
no working knowledge of housekeep-
ing or cooking.
Brave girls? No. / say cowardly
mothers. The time has come when
someone must wake up the mothers.
and I may as well be the first, Cor
the truth is coming out fast. The
rich girl cannot 90 into the kitchen
to learn anything of the preparation
of foods. because the cook cannot be
bothered She cannot learn house
keeping, nor even the care of her
room. as the housemaid must be kept
busy. Some of the girls tell me they
can get into the kitchen Thursdays,
when the cook is out. when the sec
ond girl takes her place and is more
easily managed. This very daughter,
with wealth at her command while
at home, very frequently marries a
poor young man, and then what hap
pens? Here is one of many obserya-
tons: A bride of this type said to
me recently: Il know nothing of
cooking, but we have a fine cook, and
everything will be lovely" 1t was
for a while. then the cook left. Cooks
usually do when the mistress knows
nothing of cooking, and then the
bride was having experience and
practise at the expense of her hus-
bands income. which is not playing
fair 10 him, to say nothing of her
struggles learning cooking and house
keeping, when there is so much to be
l.
girl cannot learn. as she must be
sent out as a wage-earner when very
young, and only comes home VIII, n
the meals are ready, so her oppor-
tunities seem to be much less than
the girl with money. and most people
would say she needs il more.

10 PURIFY THE ROOM

To purify the air of offices or sick
rooms soak a few pieces of brown
paper in a solution of saltpetre and
allow them to dry. When desired for
use lay a handful of flowers OF law
ender. which can be got at any drug
store, on a tin pan with few pieces
of the paper and light. The aroma is
refreshing and agreeable and drives
away insects. If hot water is pro-
durable a few drops of oil of lavender
in a glass of very hot water is good.
It purifies the air at once and effec-
tually rids the room of flies and ln-
sects of all kinds.-Scientific Ameri-

he will be sure to notice what is said
by those round him and will retain
in his memory a good deal more than
he is often given credit for. For this
reason things should be given their

should be used in conversation when
he is present.

SHRUNKEN WOOLENS

Wool union suits which nave
shrunl until it is an impossibility to
squeeze into them may be made
wearable by ripping the shoulder
seams and fitting in a three-cornered
piece, one corner of which should be
placed at the end of the shoulder
seam at the top of the sleeve. This
will give as much length to the body
of the garment. as the size of the
piece set in.

WOMEN'S GLOVES

That the gloves and the shoes must
be perfection, whatever the age and
condition of the costume, is almost an
axiom, so familiar has this admo-
milton become. Most women are wear
ing mocha or washable doeskin
gloves with the tailored street Co.'S
tune, and gloves of white or cream
kid with formal afternoon costume.
Evening gloves match the gown, and
should be long enough to wrinkle we'll
on the arm. even if the top of the
glove does not meet the edge of the
short sleeve. Tightly drawn, scant-
looking glove wrists are suggestive
of economy and take away from the
richness of the costume.
