The Use of Light Tones.

Every woman knows that white is
"trying"-that is, its lightness Of tone
throws the darker tones of flesh into
strong relief, contrast not always
supportable. The eye, however, ac-
cepts white much more comfortably
than pale color unrelieved or wrong
ly judged. A whole figure of one pale
tone may look cool and bright and
will certainly be cOnspicuously visible
and generally decorative in crowd,
but considered as a single figure the
eye will seek for relief in a variety Of
tone and Just as the dark touches OF
eye, postril and lip take the eye in a
face the points of contrast will arrest
the eye in the figure. A very famous
French dressmaker, now dead, derived
his creations from birds, and the per-
feet taste of nature always dares the
Fedeeming contrast Witness, for eI-
ample, the ermine's tail.

II is said that Professor Blackie Of

This Old professor used to perform a
very picturesque feature in the Edln.

patriarch. with handsome features aud
hair falling In ringlets about his
shoulders No one who had seen him
could possibly forget him. One day
he was accosted by very dirty little

sir?" The professor was impressed by
the filthlness of the boys face.

he. but If youll 70 and wash your
face I'll give you u siIpence"
"a RIGHT, SIR" was the lads reply.
Then he went over to a neighboring
fountain and made his ablution. Re-
turning he held out his hand for the
money.

are not too many short hairs the effect
will be neat.
The Psyche knot Is returning to fash
ion, and the helmet form, which is so
becoming, is still worn. In this the
back hair forms the modern French
twist, and the hair is drawn over the
knot and in a way effaces it. Good
effects for the low couture are those
of a simple braided strand of hair or
knot formed in a fiat figure s

ABOUT HICCOUGHS.

Hiccoughs Is caused by a ner-
vous contraction of one of the
breathing muscles. The under
lying cause Is nervousness.
The exciting cause Is some
reflex irritation, for instance, II
something does not agree with
a person. Ordinary attacks Will
be relieved by anything which
diverts the attention and allows
breathing to go on purely as an
automatic process. If the at
tack is more severe, empty the
stomach by sticking a finger In
the throat.
As a rule IL will be found that
hiccoughing children are nerv-

Startling a person often stops
hiccoughs instantly.

THE HOME
DRESSMAKER

There are few things which
should be remembered in fitting
oneself, especially if it be the
difficult matter of waist-fitting.
DO NOT put the waist on the
wrong side to fit it. Always try
garment on and do the fitting
of it the way you propose to wear
it. This suggestion is important
for the reason that few women
are exactly the same in slope Of
shoulder and waist on both sides.
When the waist is fitted to the
figure on one side and is turned
over on the other, you may find a
defect which is due to this very
thing.
When putting on a waist to be
fitted slip the hands underneath
it and turn the shoulder and I'M
derarm seams toward the front.
If there are other seams turn
these toward the back. This is
necessary in order to make the
waist lie flat. In pinning the
front or back together, which is
one of the first things to do,
have at least two guide lines. The
waist line at the bottom may he
one. The other might be a line
which dressmakers CALL the "chest
line," a line parallel with the
waist line, but only three inches
down from the neck and running
about six inches across the mid
die front.
In making alterations by pin
ming be sure to pin SECURELY.
otherwise the alterations will be
of little use, as by the time the
waist has been removed some OF
the alteration marks may have
been lost through falling pins.

WONDERFUL LITTLE WOMAN HAS

came from the dismal night court
of Americas largest city, where
scores of young women, Ameri-

Gentiles, the first offender and
vice-steeped wretches, are caught
trapped, sentenced.
Each morning some of these
young women start for Bedford,
the New York state reformatory
for women. They think they
are going to PRISON for three
years. They come here, and in
stead of finding punishment find
a Chancellor some of them,
the only real chance they ever
had.
They come to HOME instead
,0f a prison. They come to a
MOTHER instead of warden.
DR.. Katherine Davis is the
mother, teacher extraordinary
and friend of these hundreds of
girls.
DR.. Davis has a staff of teach
ers instead of guards. She has
honor cottages" instead of iron
bars, and she turns the girls
loose to rove at will over SOC
acres. During ten years but four
girls tried to run away.

everywhere the girls are uncon'

less used her hands. Then, to
make more than two or three
loaves at once, she used mixer
consisting of an old rolling pin
which she fitted up with a series
Of knives and placed over mix
ing bowl. The rolling pin was
turned with crank and the
knives thoroughly and quickly
mixed the flour with the other
ingredients.
