Marvellous New Materials

If you are contemplating a shop
ping tour It may be well to prepare
yourself with information regarding
the new and fashionable fabrics; 9TH
erwise you may spend an entire day
being dazzled by one alluring material
after another, says an exchange. Many
of the new fabrics are qualified to
fire the Imagination OF a poet. I'M
agine how the fancy Is stirred by q
midnight blue tulle embroidered in
rhinestones! Does 1t not suggest the
starry heavens above.
Glistening effects on fabrics are
gotten in many ways. A stunning
brocaded taffeta In soft French gray
has a straggly-petaled flower bro
caded in bright silver.
Any number of tinseled brocades in
chiffons, velvets, taffetas failles and
charmeuse are shown in an endless
variety of colors and designs.
One velvet, having the color of a
rosy sunset imprisoned in its wonder
full sheen. was brocaded in pale blue,
green and gold.
A turquoise blue silk was made
most effective by an indeterminate
! design brocaded in silver tinsel.

very i'll, and when she grew better
she put away all of her wedding

And from that time on your
Aunt Mary was different. She used
to sit by the hour with her hands
crossed in her lap, paying no at
tention to the friends who called.
After a while, when the edge of
her grief had worn away, your
Aunt Mary began to take in the
happenings about her. But she was
never again the light-hearted,
happy girl she had been. And as
the years went by she grew fussier

chip on her shoulder most of the
time.

she never married and had boys

why she does not understand you,

Dorothy sighed as mother Dear

Garnishes for Evening Gowns

Large conventional ornaments of Jet
figure on evening dress, but these,
like the spangles, are much lighter
than their appearances would indi-
cate. Jet is used to decorate many of
the graceful Vatican trains and
draperies in vogue for evening gowns.
Jet tassels and bands of Jet trim
ming contribute, to the beauty and
charm of the more fetching evening
wraps, says the Philade1nhia r"@r~d
Though French faille-recently
raised to high favor for wedding
gowns--is not easily obtained just
now, q new Amerlcan-woven faille of
rare beauty, richness and lustre
makes an excellent substitute for any
sort of dress.
Spangles are seen not only on
frocks, but they deck all the acces-
series that complete the evening cos
tune Fans hair ornaments, scarfs
etc, are spangle embroidered, these
glittering bits of color being very
effective and beautiful.
Pearl trimmings and ornaments are
almost as popular as jet, and many
of these tassels take the form of
ropes of tiny pearls. Others, repre-
senting combinations of pearls and
crystal beads, are very beautiful.
Gold and silver fringe and tinsel
are used to a great extent and wooden
beads in Oriental and Bulgarian coll
ors are employed for dress ---smen-
tation.
Tassels of various kinds--some of
them seven or eight inches long ARE
utilized by the smart dressmaker this
fall.

Economizing on Coal

A ton of pea coal in the cellar is
q most valuable addition. A small
shovelful spread over the fire In the
cook stove will keep IT going nicely
when the stove is not in use, and will
quickly catch when the stove Is
opened.
On ironing days, when a steady fire
is needed. a little pea coal answers
the purpose.
1t costs less than other coal and
one ton lasts q long time.
II should be used TO spread over
the furnace on warm days.
A cup of water sprinkled over a
bucket of coal will prevent the too
rapid consumption of the fuel and
does not lessen the amount of heat
given out.

Somebody's Mother

Dear Margery Doom:

publish the words of the old poem,

The woman was old and ragged

And bent with the chill of the
winters day:
The streets were white with q re-
cent snow.
And the woman's feet with age

Thanking you in advance, I am
WAITING.
This poem appeared in the column
several months ago. I suppose you
did not see it.
SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.
The woman was old and ragged and
gray,
And bent with the chill of a winters
day:
The streets were white with a re-
cent snow,
And the woman's feet with age
were slow.
At the crowded crossing she waited
long,
Jostled aside by the careless throng
OF human beings who passed her BIZ,
Unheeding the glance of her anxious
eye.
Down the street with laughter and
shout,
Glad in the freedom of school let
out"
Come happy boys, like a flock of
sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and
deep:
Past the woman. so old and gray.
fastened the children on their way.
None offered a helping hand to her,
So weak and timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage wheels or the
horses feet
Should trample her down in the
slippery street.
AT last came out of the merry troop
The gayest boy of all the group;
He paused beside her and whispered
low,
''I'n help you across IL you wish
to CO."

He guided the trembling feet along.
Proud that his own were young and
strong;
Then back again to his young
friends he went,
His young heart happy and well
content.
She's somebody's mother. boys, you
know,
For all she's aged, and poor and
SLOW;
And some one. some time. may lend
a hand
To help my mother-you under
stand?
If ever she's old and poor and gray.
And her own dear boy so far away"
Somebody's mother" bowed low her
head
In her home that night. and the
prayer she said
Was: God be kind to that noble
boy,
Who is somebody's son and pride

skirt and a tight bodice, which takes
us back to the days of our grand
mothers, was recently seen. Black
panne velvet is the material chosen
for the short sleeved bodice, which is
rather deeply scalloped at the bottom
1t is fastened at the centre front with
three jet buttons, and a most effec-
tive touch is given to the gown by a
red velvet rose. says an exchange.
The full net skirt is made over a mar
row white satin foundation, which
intensitles the fullness. II is trimmed
with three graduated bands of black
panne velvet.

Her Nose Does Not Suit

Dear Margery Doom
Please tell me what to do for my
nose. 1T Is too fieshy, sort of broad
at tho end and it annoys me very
much. 1t would make me very
happy to have my nose a little
smaller. This may sound silly to
you, but am In earnest.
MOLLIE K.
Nothing short of an operation will
change tho shape of a nose 90
would not advise an operation un-
less there is a condition which
demands it. Stop thinking about
your nose. Make the most of your
other features and cultivate 2
pleasant expression and people Will
not notice whether your nose is
fleshy or thin.

Hardness Among Scholars

A winning method of dealing with
hardness is used in the grammar
schools of Los Angeles, Cal. Iron
sockets which securely hold a flag
staff have been placed beside each
schoolroom door, and every morning
after the tardy bell has rung every
room free from a hardness places its
flag outside the door, so that "all
who run may read" Bereft indeed
do the small persons feel who can fly
no flag, says the Womans Home
Companion.
