MELISSA WOULD TANTAlIzE a
TOO CAUTIOUS MAN.

What In the name Of goodness do
you want with a darning egg, Me-
lissa?" asked Mrs. Merriwid's mater
nal maiden aunt Jane, In accents of
profound establishment, ''and what are
you doing with my stockings?"
Mrs. Merriwid smiled as she rum
mayed In her relatives workbag. sI'm
not sure that I'll tell you," she an
swered. ''Is this q darning needle,
dearie?'
TITS bodkin,'' Aunt Jane informed
her. "You put my things down and
tell me what you want and I'll try to
get 1t for you. Are you intending to
darn stockings?'
You're a wonder when 1t comes to
making an intelligent guess" said
Mrs. Merrfwid, admiringly. Some
might have deduced that was about
to make an omelet. Yes, ma'am, I'm
going to be busy little housewife
this afternoon during Mr.. Farsite's
visit-just to please him. I'm taking
lots of pains with that sensible and
level-headed gentleman, If you've no.
ticed."
"I've noticed that you have been
unusually nice to him." said Aunt
Jane. But why should you, of all
persons, try to darn stockings? You
can't do it, anyhow. You don't know
enough to pull basting threads. I
never saw anybody in my life as un-
utterably ignorant of any useful thing
az you are. And what makes you sup
pose that the sight Of you darning
stockings win afford Mr.. Farsite any
pleasure?"
81 slan't really darn" explained
Mrs. Merriwid. Il shall merely be
overwhelmed with blushing confusion
when he surprises me with the mate
rails. You see, he's a cautious per-
son, Mr.. Farsite Ii. He isn't leaping
to any great extent without taking a
good long comprehensive look first.
There are lots OF people like him, my
dear. They look 90 long that they get

attractive, making becoming and efeca
tive pipings and trimmings.
One suit Of striped material, which
is illustrated, in the large drawing,
was effectively made up with the
stripes running diagonally across the
bodice fronts. The right side Tapped
across the left and buttoned over a
scarf Of black satin, which fell from
the neck, below the waist line. There
was a trimmed rundown collar OF
white MORE.
Comfortable and practical bathing
coats are made of black or blue serge,
with large collars and cuffs bordered
with relieving note Of gay color.
Boomers or knfckers are essential
features of the costume, and should
be OF the same material as the skirt
and blouse. The Knockers should be
loose enough for comfort, but fitted
carefully, though easily, around the
hips and waist
A tight or stiff corset is an absurd
ity, but there are corded bathing CIR
dies which will keep g. suit smooth
around the waist and over The hips
without cramping the body. The stock
ings should be snugly gartered, the
belt neatly adjusted to cover the union
Of the skirt and bodice-if the two
are not, as Is advisable, stitched to
gether.

and are desirable only In a good quail
ity Of silk; but 1t must be admitted
that even at their best they do not
stand the wear and tear as we'll a. the
plain black and are not SO generally
becoming. The white stripe soils
quickly and, when wet and clinging,
takes on distorted lines, which are un-
becoming to the figure. In this last
respect the black and white checks
and plaids are better than the stripes,
but they have not quite SO smart an
air on the whole.
The black and white stripes are
more In evidence as trimming than
otherwise, and as such are extremely

Making a Hat BOX

Purchase a large cheese box from
your grocer and scrub it we'll with
hot soda and water and dry in the
open air, not near a fire. Line with
pieces of cretonne or vanished wall
paper, and cover the outside with any
chintz, that will harmonic with or
match the bedroom decorations. This
will make splendid hat box, and one
that will last for many years.

Plenty Of PLATING.

Knife plating is having a popularity
all its own. Knife plated rufhes and
frills are used on crepe de chine and
wash net petticoats; knife plated edge
collars and cuffs on coats and blouses.
And knife plated silk trimming is
much used on wolfe and crepe after
noon frocks. One way of utilizing this
form of trimming is to edge broad
folded satin girdle top and bottom with
knife plated satin frill about an
inch and half wide. An elaborate
white wolfe afternoon frock was made
with q girdle Of this kind In deep blue
satin and was further trimmed with
few touches Of bright blue on the bod
Ice. OF course a girdle SO made in
creasAs the apparent size Of the waist,
but Fashion says that is a thing to
be desired.

you'll notice the more worthless a
