WITH SIX GORED SKIRT. WITH SHORT
THREE-OUARTER OR LONG SLEEVES. Low
OR HIGH SHIELD.
Front closings are extremely smart
this season for girls as well as for their
elders and they are very practical always.
In the frock illustrated, this feature is
combined with others equally smart and
practical to make a most satisfactory
model. The blouse is made with a big
sailor collar and revers and with set-in
| sleeves that may be finished in elbow,
three-quarter or full length. There is a
separate shield that may be made either
low or high with a stock collar. The skirt
is cut in six cores and the front and back
/ cores form panels. The blouse and skirt
are Joined at the waist line by means Of
a belt and the two are closed together
at the left Of the front. In the ~illustra-
ton. the material is blue serge with trim
ming of white ~broadcloth and braid and
that combination is always a good one,
but there are a number of other wool
materials that are pretty for this model
and later, linen, pique and the like will
be found equally satisfactory.
For the II year size, the dress will
require 6H yards of material 26. AZ
yards sc or 81 yards a. inches wide with
"a yard AZ inches wide for the collar.
The pattern 7722 is cut in sizes for
girls from 10 to ID years OF age. 1t will
be mailed to any address by the Fashion
Department Of this paper. on receipt d

AKNOWING

A specialist on the subject of rugs
says that In furnishing a room the
rug should be chosen first. Then the
decorations should be decided upon,
that they may, above all things, be in
harmony with the rug. Walls toned
to harmonic with rugs are better
than those papered.
Tack this up In your laundry for
handy reference. To set colors-
green, blue, lavender, aniline reds.
purple and pink should be soaked in
alum water. two ounces to q tub.
Black. gray and dark blue should be
soaked in strong salt water.
Most every woman knows that it
spoils the shape Of a skirt at the hips
to hang it on an ordinary coat hang
er. This difficulty can be overcome
by driving two small lacks Zone each
side of the wire hook. leaving the
heads p%rotruding only a little bit. Put
the tacks just as far apart as the loops
ON the skirt. A coat can be hung yer
this without In the least crushing the
skirt

yQUESTI0hS

Try cracking pecans nuts by placing
them on end In the nut cracker. One
vigorous crushing OF the cracker will
split the nut open through the cen.
ter.
When heating iatirons, especially
the kind with removable handles. turn
an old pan or kettle over them as
they are grouped together and they
will heat much quicker and more
evenly.
A tin pail will be found very use
full to shut fish in before putting 1t In
the icebox. Fish has a strong odor.
which permeates other food. and
should never be put in the icebox un-
less closely covered.
In ironing embroidered table nap
kins, iron them first on the right side.
then on the wrong side and back on
the right side. being careful not to
press the embroidery design into the
linen. Iron the embroidered corner
over a soft cloth.
This Is a very useful hint to clean
Iavatory basins, marble ws~shstands,
etc. Put some powdered bathDrick
into an old saucer and add a little
paraffin OIL to moisten. With a soft
rag rub the article to be cleaned with
this mixture, then wash with warm
water. You will find that all stains
and dirt win disappear.
Parsley may be kept green and
fresh all winter. Put 1t in a strong
boiling hot brine of salt and water.
Leave in a half hour and then hang
1t In a dry roc with the blossoms
down. Kept In this way IL is as nice
for flavoring soups. dressings. etc. az
when 1t Ia freshly grown and gathered.

To protect the bottom of a muslin

tune. Evening gloves match the
gown and should be long enough to
wrinkle we'll on the arm. ev~. If the
