BUTT0NH0LE NUlSANCES.
Suggestion In Working on Thin Ma
terials-Braid Loops For Rompers.

Many sewers find il difficult to make
huttonholes in thin materials. but If
this precaution is taken you will find
IL an easy matter:
Before cutting the buttonholes haste
a strip of muslin or lawn beneath the
portion where the buttonhoIes are to
he. Cut the bu%ttonholes through both
thlcknesses and %buttonhole stitch the
edges. When they are completed cut
away the material underneath close to
the %buttonhole. and the result VIII be
a firm. perfect buttonhole.
Rompers for children require n great
many buttonholes. If loops of sou
tache braid are substituted they will
serve the purpose. Fasten the loops
securely so that they will not pull out.

"A nan with small feet hideth them

why doth the virgin rejoice? Why
readeth she her love letters TO her sis
tiers? Behold. there is a compliment
therein. and ii shall not be concealed.

a passable damsel; yea, they lift up

STYLES IN TUB SKIRTS.
Plain, Flouneed or With TUNES They
Will Survive Laundering.

Skirts of wash materials are divided
into three parts. They are pretty sure
10 be either plain. fiounced or with
tunics. Some attempts are made TO
produce draped skirts in the tub frocks.
but the results are singularly unat-
tractive in most cases. If they do not
please before the dress is washed and
ironed what can be expected of them
after they have submitted to those al
ways disturbing processes?
The tunic is capable of an almost in
finite variety of treatment. and it
makes possible the general silhouette
required by fashion. For the lighter
materials it is unqueStionably the best
idea on which to work. In the ease of
the girlish figure, whether possessed by
a girl herself or by a thrice fortunate
woman, the fiounced skirt is an attrac-
tive rival of the tunie. In the heavier
materials. such as linens. ratines and
their allies. the plain skirt is best for
more reasons than one But in these
cases the plainness a be broken by a
deceptive treatment of tapping seams.
which give the main lines of draped
skirts without any undesirable bunchi-
ness.

SUMMER CLOTHES FOR BABY.
Hot Weather Outfit For the Normal

In choosing Il summer outfit for an
infant get nothing but very light gar

made of balbriggan. with sleeves TO the
elbows or none at all Summer weight
underclothes are Of curse for only the
normally healthy babies. Those who
are prone to cold or are not particu-
larry strong should have vests Of heav-
Ter material, such as a very light
weight merino or combination Of meri-
no and cotton.
Buy only undcrvcsts that fasten with
strings. for without pins and buttons
a mother may he reasonably sure that
her baby Is not suffering from pin

THE LESSON OF THE FOURTH.
II Teaches an Important One For the
Patriotic Future of Our Country.


Patriotic Future of Our Country.

Fourth of July marks the anniversary
of the Declaration of Independence.
That document was the foundation

teach you a lesson that you will re-
member, a lesson of love for your
country and your flag. The future of
the United States is in your hands.
Aspire to become as patriotic men n
women as your fathers and mothers.
Until recent years the Fourth was
generally celebrated with the shooting
off of ~frecrackers. cannon and Other
n~oisemakers. But there were so many
accidents that the older folks In many
parts of the country. who are always
keeping a watchful eye over the chill
dren for their own good, decided that
it would he far better If the Fourth
were observed in a different manner.
That was how the holiday came TO he
called the safe and sane Fourth"
The laws as to the sale of fireworks
are now very strict in many sections,
and rs a result the number of children
and grown people who meet with dis
aster is decreasing every year.
If you are not permitted 10 shoot on
f~recrackers in your town do not LET
that fact discourage you. Patriotism Is
more important than making a noise.
