USES FOR SHOCKING

SHOCKING is one Of the prettiest
decorations for small girls frocks
and il is really very easily done. 1t is
a sort of shirring with the shirring
ripped out-that is to say. the ma
terial is first shirred in parallel rows:
the shocking design is then worked.
and then the shirring threads are
drawn out. little girls frock OF
dimity, shocked at neck and sleeves
with blue. pink or any other becoming
color. can be further trimmed with a
ribbon sash to match the shocking.
The fullness at the waist can be dis
posed OF in shocking III there is time
to make the frock a little more elab-
crate. Bands Of shocking can be made
with threads OF three OF four colors.
and these bands can be applied at the
bottom OF the child's skirt and at the
ends Of the elbow cuffs Transfer de-
signs for shocking. which can be APP
piled to children's clothes. are sold by
the big pattern companies.
Accordion plated skirts are in vogue
for young girls. and nothing is prettier
than a thin silk. accordion plated and
shocked in the form of a yoke The
shocking can form a one sided yoke
OF can follow any other old line sug-
gested by the present fashions. One
thing about shocking that makes II
popular is that il IS easy to do: another
is that it is durable.

:. AN ECONOMY LUNCHEON :.

ECONOMY IS the big word IN most
households these days. especially
If the weekly pay envelope does not
permit OF a free range IN the selection
OF the daily meals. This economy does
not necessarily mean an unappetizing
menu-in fact the opposite is often
the case. for. being compelled to give
food values and combinations consid-
cradle thought. the careful cook
evolves a peculiar knack OF getting to-
gether dainty and nourishing meals at
little cost. One such luncheon for so
cents includes baked potatoes ION the
half SHE'LL" cents: lettuce. cents:
corn bread, cents; berries, 10 cents;
gingerbread, cents. and tea, .snt.
Baked Potatoes ION the Half Shell"
Select good sized potatoes, wash
carefully. dry and bake until done.
Take from the oven, cut in halves
lengthwise, scrape out the white, add
to it salt. pepper. a little milk and "a
small lump of butter and beat to :.
! light froth. Fill the shells with the
beaten white, heaping in mound FASH
ion, and brown in a quick oven.

If you cannot afford one of the lovely
garden baskets sold to hold freshly
gathered flowers and vegetables buy a
small clothes basket or a strong mar
ket basket and stain 1t. 1t will prove
quite as useful for holding the crops
as one that costs three times as much.
A llneeling board for the garden is
boon to the knees. II can be used
when you are wedding. planting and
cultivating the flowers. Make it from
a square piece of wood. perhaps II by
a inches. Under one long edge nail
four supports three or four inches high
to keep the board at a comfortable an
gle. Pad the upper surface of the
board with several layers OF carpet. A
cotton stuffed cushion can be used in
stead of carpet if very soft rest for
the knees is wanted.

New Way of Serving Lettuce.
Select fresh. crisp lettuce, separate

butter has been melted. Let it come

Amusing the COnValeScent

If the patient is a little girl and not
strong enough to sew her dollies'
clothes sit beside her and begin max
ing some little dolls garment not tell
ing her what it is. but making her
watch you carefully and try to guess
what it will be as you progress with
the making. AS the garment takes on
form she will keep on changing her
guess and have great pleasure.
Begin placing breadcrumbs on a win
dow sill. where the sick child can see
them plainly. and soon you will have a
small army of English sparrowS COM
ing regularly to feed. Have a certain
time for doing this. and the sparrows
will learn that time within two days
and never fail to alight as soon as the
crumbs are out. This furnishes amuse-
mcnt for the little one.
| Every nurse and mother should de-
wise such means for keeping a con-
valescing childs mind active and
| happy without allowing the body to
! become overtaXed. All these sugges-
lions will lead to other ideas The
well trained nurse of today finds It just
as important to know how to amuse
such little patients as it is to know
when and how to administer their
medicine and take their temperatures
and prepare their food.

This wolfe lends itself beautifully TO
the drapery which is seen on most Of
the smart summer gowns. By drapery
is not meant the window lambrequin
sort that is bungling and inartistic, but
the pannier-like effect that is only
slightly caught up TO form few grace

"mousme" bow placed at the back is
being used on number of graduation
dresses. and when the wearer is slight
the effect is extremely fetching. But
perhaps newer is the tulle sash, whose
wide butterfly bow makes striking
note IN a white froCk. GauZe threaded
with gold or silver tinsel would be
charming for a graduating sash, and
many of the wide ribbons of the season
make delightful sash trimmings. The
point. however. about the graduation
frock that is most important to keep in
mind is the idea of simplicity. in reality
or merely in effect.
