linen bags.
Then, for some reason, the fashion

and the more pungent and heavier
scents. were used. But now, with the
return OF fashions of other days. the
vogue for lavender is with us again
Truly fastidious women now have
their clothing laid between pads of
lavender. and pinned in the front of
their gowns is small sachet, covered
with silk or linen embroidered to
match the color ribbon used in the
lingerie.
Twelve inches of three-inch wide
ribbon that has been cut in half. then
sewed together on the selvage edge

with dried lavender flowers, makes
the prettiest kind of corsage sachet.

PAsTIME FOR YOUNG AND OLD
Swedish Paper Describes Interesting
Game to Be Played on Iee-Um-
pire Is Needed.

A novel and interesting winter game
for young and old, described as a
novelty by a Swedish paper. is played
as follows:
Two poles of convenient height are
erected on the ice; II skating on a
shallow pond they may be driven
through the ice and into the ground,
but il the water is deep, holes must be
bored through the ice and the poles
will soon freeze soii6ly in them. A
rope is stretched between the poles at
such height as is suited to the size
of the players or as agreed on to make
the game more or less difficult, and on
this are strung number of pieces Of
board, A, each having ring of spring
steel. B. attached to its lower end. The
purpose of the game is to run at good
speed btween the poles and catch a
ring on spear, each player being en-
titled to make certain number Of
runs, and the winner being the one
who can catch the most rings.
The spears may be made of broom
handles tapered toward the end. and

Proper Length OF the Present Short
Skirt Apt to Cause Trouble for
the Home Dressmaker.

Now that short skirts are the cor
rect and fashionable thing to wear, it
is most important that the bottom of
the skirt shall hang perfectly even.
the same distance from the floor at
every point
Home dressmakers will find this a
somewhat difficult task if they are at
selves. When making skirt, finish 1t
completely, excepting for the hem;
then slip the skirt on and hook 1t In
place around the waist. Now take
yardstick, place one end on the floor
pressing 1t against the skirt; then at
the top where the stick touches the
skirt make faint mark with a
piece of tailor's chalk. Repeat this
all around the skirt and from these
points measure toward the hem, mark
ing it the length you desire. You can
then turn the hem up at these marks
and be sure that It Is exactly even at
the bottom. Walking skirts should
be three inches from the floor, out
ing skirts four inches, and those for
indoor wear an inch and half.
Another way to mark the length Of
a skirt, but one which requires the
aid of another person. Is to take a
fiat piece of cardboard or a ruler and
mark on it the distance the edge Of
the skirt is to be from the foor-when
finished. Place the skirt on the
wearer and move the ruler around the
skirt, placing pins at intervals where
the mark shows the length wished.
Turn the hem up at this point all
around
A Skirt gauge that can be bought at
any department store for small sum
is fitted with piece of tailor's chalk
fixed on rod in such manner that
1t can be lowered or raised to any
length you wish. BY placing this on
the floor the skirt can be marked
evenly as the wearer turns slowly
around.

at the top of one pole and run through
pulley. d, at the top of the other,
thence to weight or line fastener.
Each player should start from the
same base line and pass between the
poles at such speed that he will
glide at least 100 feet on the other
side of the poles without pushing him
self forward by the aid Of the skates.
Twenty runs are usually allowed each
player, or ten players may divide into
two parties, playing one against the
other, etc. An, umpire will be needed
to see that fair play is maintained and
settle any disputes that may arise.

There is, quite evident, an awakening
interest in the matter of millinery
styles with some degree OF perman-
ence. At last seasons hat Tin the
nomenclature of the millinery trade)
is the "deadest on earth But this
is not altogether true, has not been in
the past and will be less than ever
true in the future. Women who
own fine leghorn and panama
hats are loath to have them reblocked
or changed in outline, because they
are beautiful in outline and quality
to start with. By way of variety, they
may be retrimmed from season to sea-
son. Sometimes hat is SO good from
an artistic point of view, that worn or
faded trimming is replaced with other
exactly like it, or trimming is selected
with a view to its capacity to stand
cleaning.
Hats modelled on those pictured by
Rembrandt and Gainsborough be-
long to the class which may be said
to be always good style" This does
not mean that they are always fash
ionable, 1t means that they must be
reckoned with outside the realm of
capricious fashions; that women of in
telligence and fine taste will wear
them at any time they see fit, regard

less of the fashions of the moment.
In Fig l Rembrandt turban is
pictured made of velvet. Two feath-
ers only from the pheasant) are used
for trimming. Simplicity and grace
are its paramount features and they
are most important factors in all good
millinery.
In Fig 2 a soft hat is shown, which is
made of velveteen or other substantial
fabrics, .has no frame or wires and
belongs to that order of millinery
which is coming to be known as the
suit case hat" 1t is becoming popular
to make such hats of the same fabric
as the coat The hat shown Is made
of corduroy. the brim stiffened with an
interlining and machine stitched. 1t
is as practical as the good old-fash-
Toned sunbonnet and occupies the
same place in the winter wardrobe as
it's prototype does in that of summer.
Since women are no longer satisfied
with one or two hats. it would be
wisdom for them to select the smart
stable styles and wear them several
seasons by way of change from their
new hats. For every woman wants
new hat; it is one OF her dependable
inspirations.

BOYS WHO LACKED TRAINING
Interesting investigation Made by
Juvenile Protective Association
Few Had Trade.
lM7y Not :.

Failure properly to train boys for
useful work is a prolific source OF
vagabondage and crime. An investi-
cation made by the Juvenile Protec-
tive association of Chicago and re-
ported by it's president Louise De
Koven Bowen, in the Survey, devel-
oped striking facts. A study was
made of cases selected from among
1928 confined in the Cook county jail
in 1911. Mrs. Bowen writes:
The investigation emphasizes the
fact that only three out of the hun
dred boys had trade. Only six had
been allowed to work at the occupa-
ton which they really desired. Most
of them had been put to work at
anything attainable. Sixty-six had
begun to earn their living at fourteen
years Of ago or younger. According
to the government reports. the wages
of unskilled laborers who leave school
before they are fourteen increase
slowly from SO to SO per week until
they are twenty years of age Here
they remain stationary until they are
forty years Of age, when their earn
ing capacity again begins to decline.
Out of the 1928 boys in the Jail.
721 had been engaged in unskilled oc-
equations. Nineteen boys had wished
to become machinists; out OF this
number four drove wagons. one was
farmer, three were messenger boys.
one an Office boy. four were laborers.
three were errand boys in stores, one
was chauffeur and two were gro

THE MARSHAL
AND CANDIDATES

Word comes from Reno TO-DAY
that owing to word received there
from Washington, the announcement
of the appointment OF the L. S. Mar
sal for Nevada is expected at any
time and that it is believed that W.
J. Maxwell of this city. will land the
plum and that he has been practc-
ally Centered upon as the man.
eIn this connection it is stated that
George Cole was in all respects d
strong candidate, but the fact that he
is affiliated with labor unions and
organizations practically bars him
from the position. as it is stated that
there is a sort of unwritten law that
persons connected with labor unions
are not eligible for the important OF
fee and to bear out this contention
it is noted that no one in any way
connected with unions has ever been
appointed as Marshal, although there
have been union candidates for the
position This is the way the story
comes from Reno to-day.
