Making Box Plat.

Many beginners find considerable trou-
BILE in making the box plat on the front
of the shirt waist. II the goods were cut
and marked according to the pattern,
there should be a row of marks down the
front edge of the material. Crease the
goods at the perforations and stitch
certain distance from the crease. as the
directions tell you to do; this will make
the outer tuck, and the unfinished hem
will be loose underneath; the second. or
inner tuck Of the box plat, Is then
creased according to markings. and be-
fore 1t is stitched in place the unfinished
edge is folded in with it; the tuck is
then stitched with the edge inside of II.
leaving no raw edge. and the button
holes are made in this closing plait.
The left side may be merely hemmed, or
a narrow facing may be used. and on
this the buttons are to be sewed.. In
sewing any double goods the foot of the
machine Is apt to hold the upper fold
hack. while the feeder underneath
pushes the under fold forward. Blasting
the two sides together will in a measure
overcome this.

Tailored Clothes the Most
Practical for Business Wear
Little Miss Fluffy Ruffles Is Neper Taken Seri-
.ously in the Earnest, Work-a-
day World.

In dainty, frilly garments. which she
knows are easily soiled and she viii dis
cover for herself how hard a matter it is
to be sufficiently unconscious of herself
during her business hours to accomplish
either her usual amount OF work or to
stamp it with the usual character of
perfection.
In order to do her best work. to give
to her business the very best of which
her brain is capable, self-obliteration Is
an absolute necessity to any woman.
The moment her clothes attract the
marked attention OF her Office comrades
or make her conscious of them herself.
she may expect an immediate falling OF
in the high character of her work. For
this very reason comfort should also en-
ter strongly into the consideration of
every plan for workaday clothes.
OF course, We have all seen little Miss
FLUFFY Ruffies, who insists upon being
just that no matter where the necessities
of life call her-little Miss Fluffy Ruffies
who Is so very conscious OF herself that
she never allows any one else TO forget
her presence for a moment, and has no
thought left TO give to climbing the
business ladder to any real success. We
are not considering her. however, for
she is here only for to-day, and Is not
worth consideration, but of her serious,
sensible sister. who has a strong pur-
pose and defipite aim when she enters
business life, the girl who knows that
the manner OF her dress has much to do
with her ability to give her full atten-
ton to successful achievement, and just
as much to do with her holding of the re-
spect OF her employer and of her fellow
workers.

Fresh Milk and Crusts of
Bread Good for Babies

The mother who wants to go on doing
her best for the child for whom she
already has done SO much. and to pre-
vent its fair promise from being blight

milk above all. and after that OF the
right kind of bread,
Not the very white. starchy bread

mothers will be inclined to think Of

nothing that possibly can need chewing.
Then they are sorry that their children's
teeth are so poor.
OF course. they are poor. II the chiid's
growing body was never given to under
stand that teeth and chewing were to
be expected of II. That is the great mis-
take which has been made for many
years past in the feeding Of young chill

that nine OF the nations school children

Very few persons know how much this

must not feed the child on mushy things

toast or crust OF bread. Every doctor
who has studied this subject is enraged
when he sees the crusts cut away from
children's bread. The crusts are richer
than the crumb in nourishment, and they
are invaluable as exercise for the teeth
and jaws.

Not only does this exercise help the
teeth and jaws themselves, but it starts

way by getting plenty of saliva mixed

OF tapestry that is defined by wide gold

BY FRANCES sHAFFER.

Just out from Yonkers, N. Y, there Is
a little lake where the boys and girls
skate when the ice Is thick enough for
the sport. It has not grown solid yet.
hut the lure Is strong. and when school
Ii over the children flock there, fondly
hoping that a nature miracle has trans
formed the insecure surface into an I'M
yielding field Of ice upon which they
can skip about to their hearts content.
A day or so ago trio OF boys had
tramped through the woods skirting the
lake. and when they came to the water,
with its thin skim of ice. one Of the
number was urged to try its strength.
OF course, the ice yielded under his
weight, but he had been urged on by
that awful taunt. "'Fraid cat, You'd
take q darei" and he would not stand for
that. So he called out defiantly and
courageously. as he thought. that he
wasn't "'fraid cat" and he wouldn't
take a dare"
And he did not. but the venture cost
his life. for he had not gone far before
the ice broke through and he sank out
Of sight.
Didn't Under.tand Values.
Had he known what it meant to be a
hero or how to judge his values, he
would have simply laughed at the boys
and told them to go ahead IL they
wanted to; as for him, he preferred dry
land.
He would have known that there was
no glory In undertaking a dangerous
feat just because of foolish dare,
and he would have enjoyed the spirit of
independence that remains Indifferent to
a taunt that is not deserved.
But boys are rather weak when con-
