HAS M11ADY THE
THOROUGHBRED LOOK :

lie style est Thomme." wrote the i'm
mortal Button over a century ago. But
II style Is the man. as applied to litera-
ture. then the epigram might be r~ra-
phrased applied to the world Of woman
and read lie style est femme
or all the various styles cultivated by
women the thoroughbred look is the most
highly priced. Compounded OF inteili-
gence. good taste. thorough grooming and
perhaps heredity, it is the only badge of
class distinction that can be worn the
world over. because II stands for the
only true class differences-education
good taste and right living.
Given the fundamentals. il can be &C
quired, hut never bought and applied.
II is not a veneer, but a thoroughly
rubbed in and worked up" natural
polish that shows the true grain and fiber
of the virgin timber.
1t knows no affections: consequently
it Is never languid nor disdainful, for in
telligence cannot take a disdaInful view
Of existence and is too keenly interested
to be languid-
The thoroughbred look may not always
excite admiration, but il never fails to
exact respect. Admiration is sometimes
dubious-respect, never.
White sables. pink pearls and real
laces are not necessary to the thorough
bred look. 1t cannot survive i'll chosen,
mismated garments.
II has not even a aOddinG acquaintance
with bcdraGglcd willow plLmes or tissue
silk stockings on a slushy street. Neither
does il recognize a half yard of brilliant
cerise petticoat, filling the gap where
tailored skirt refuses to meet below the
knees of its owner.
When II can afford only one pair of
walking boots at a time 1t does not buy
velvet or suede. When 1t has pretty.
straight blond hair it refuses to frowzel
1t in imitation of Massie of the chorus.
The thoroughbred look is never self
conscious. 1t can be regally obliviOus
alike to threadbare poverty and eNpcn-
sive gorgeousness. Once a garment is
donnGd. whether II he an imported model
or a pair OF well-worn, imported mended
gloves. 1t becomes a subconscious, we'll
controlled part OF the wearer, for this
hallmark of the elect is never found on
ers every day who are either completely
submerged by the dollars worth nf junk
they carry around or left shrieklngly
dlsrobed by their too obvious conscious
ness of the worn spots in their toilets.
Is IL possession of value, this thor
oughbred look? Yes-oh. yes, II can be
worn to advantage at all times and in
all places and need not be cast aside
with the pearls of youth or the diamonds
of prosperity. And il looks equally we'll
in the gay garh OF pleasure and the sem
ber rainent of mourning. because It
stands for things whose value cannot be
computed in dcIlars or cents, months or
years. laughter or tears. ..

VOGUE OF JET AND AMBER,

Jet, which periodically returns to ia
vor, is with US again. Nearly every
woman is wearing q brilliant jet neck
lace unless she Is a wearing a dull let
chain with ner mourning garb. Brooches,
hairpins and sash slides glisten at the
throat or at the waist and pins or
combs scintillate from black. blonde or
red tresses. With a black hat only the
beaded jet pin or the balldin solid Jet
is correct
Amber brooches. barpins, slides and
combs are fad of the blonde woman,
although her brunette sister does not
neglect the transparent composition
Oddly enough It is rarely worn as an en-
tire necklace. The smart thing Is the
silk cord of orange yellow from which
depends a single large fat amber bead
strung with few smaller beads CT the
same sort. Two long ends OF white silk
that slip through an amber buckle and
are heavily Weighted with amber bead
embroidery make q charming girdle for
q school girls home dinner frock.

DELECTABLE PLANKED sHAD.

There Is no more tempting or delicious
dish for these spring days than shad.
Shad may be prepared In many ways,
probably the most popular Is planked
shad. Many housewives think such a
dish is out of the question, but all one
needs is a good hot fire and a plank.
Be sure, however, to season and garn-
ish your fish before 1t is placed on the
table, or It viii not be success.
You ask how can get a plank? A car
penter will make you one of oak about
two inches thick for the small sum
Of 80 cents. 1t can be used indefinitely
for the constant charing OF the wood,
only adds to the flavor of the fish.
To plank shad first wash and wipe the
whole fish thoroughly. Sprinkle with
salt and pepper, then I'LL II with this
stuffing: Two cups of bread crumbs or
mashed potatoes, a grating Of onion, a
tablespoonful of parsley, butter the size
OF an egg.
With sharp knife cut three or four
Sits in the upper side of the fish and
put a thin slice of bacon in each OPEN
ing. It should be baked in a moderate
oven for thirty minutes. IL you cook
with gas bake It for part OF the time in
the oven. then brown and finish under
the flame
The proper salads to serve with shad
are watercress and tomato, cucumbers
and onions. or a salad of radishes cut
thin and laid on lettuce leaves
Broiled shad may be accomplished with
the ordinary broiler, but great care should
be taken lest the fish is scared, II IL is
cooked over the open Goals. Wise house,
wives never fry shad, as IL Is apt to ab-
sorb ire grease and It loses much Of
Its dainty favor. II prepared in this man.

LACE FROCKS AND
LACE TRIMMINGS

Lace frocks and lace trimmings are
occupying a prominent place in the sar-
torial world at the present moment. and
from all indications bid fair to become
most important fashion feature before
many months have passed.
The woman who has no great amount
OF money at her disposal however, need
not despair for fear she will not be able
to afford the latest lounces, ruff1es, and
all over effects because of the extreme
expense that is usually attached to lace
adornments of this kind. for never be-
fore we're there SO many examples OF
attractive lace on the market at prices
that are really reasonable.
The vogue for well known shadow
laces has resulted in their being brought
to a state bordering on perfection, and
II Is now quite possible for the woman
with an appreciable limit to her pocket
book to Indulge in at least one charming
gown of all over lace. II not a whole
gown, then il is safe to say that no
woman need hesitate to put II on ' r
gown at almost any conceivable place,
for she will be in style wherever 1t is.
Black lace is decidedly popular for
evening wear this spring and summer
Black lace frocks always have been both
becoming and durable, and there Is no
doubt that a large number of women
will welcome this return OF the black
lace gown intoageneral favor.

pecially when II Is a question Of rufies

POSSIBILITIES OF Il.
TURKISH TOWELS

The turkish towel. with its affinity for
the washtub, has many practical pos
sibilities, three Of which are: a laundry
bag for the inside of a closet door. bath
slippers. and a folding travelling case.
Lightweight towels are preferable for
all three purposes.
To make the bag. turn the bottom of
the towel up so that it forms a pocket.
Let the top border OF the towel extend
about five inches above the top Of the
pocket
The plain bands in the border may be
briar stitched. and the word, Laundry"
worked in French knots in a pale color
ed wash floss.
To fasten the bag securely to the in
side of the door. screw hooks can be
placed TO fit into eight white bone rings,
four to be placed on top of the bag
and four on the bottom OF the pocket.
Hath slippers.
Cute little bath slippers are quickly
made by shaping the uppers from turk
ish toweling and the regulation bedroom
slipper soIes. Cut the towel in the shape
of an apron pocket about eight inches
on the straight side and six inches deep.
The straight edge is hemmed or briar
stitched and fastened TO the soles in
the usual way A pretty little bow of
wash ribbon or a simple rose or two
in French knots on the top Of the upper
completes little pair Of slippers, which
even a bath cannot spoil
Case Tor Toilet Articles.
4 travellers case to hold the usual
toilet articles. can be made quite attrac
tIvcly and durable if turkish tOweling
is used in place of the usual CTetOnne.
The case should be made in the usual
style. about nine by sixteen inches, lined
with rubber and arranged with pockets
to hold brush. comb. wash cloth. sponge,
soap, tooth paste, brush, and a button
hook.
The outside cover of turkish toweling
is decorated with the initials Of the
owner in French knots on the back. and
perhaps a border of knots around the
outside edge. corresponding to the color
of the wash ribbon to be used to tie the
case when folded.

MENTAL ATTITUDE
AID TO BEAUTY

1t seems difficult to make women real
ize that next to health their habituaI
mental attitude is the most powerful in
ffuence to make or destroy their beauty.
OFTEN the mental state Is more impor-
tant than health, for a thought vividly
held in the mind has the power to affect
the health itself. making the sick well
or the well person Ill. according to the
quality Of the thought.
Women who realize the power of
thought and feeling upon health will not
worry or let vexation or depression up
set their mental poIse. After a little
practice they viii find they need not be
slaves to surroundings, nor even be af-
fected by them.
They will have found the philosophers
stone. which is not a stone at all, but
simply a mental attitude. They have
found a power at whose touch the base
metals. care, trouble. misfortune, are
changed into the pure gold or spiritual
development.

IF HAIR is TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old Try crandmothsr's
Recipe to Darker and BeautIfy Gray
Faded, Llfeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew OF Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get o
large bottle Of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because 1t darkens SO naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been
applied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw 1t through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, 1t is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.-Adv.

The good housewife responded that
she would feed him on the back ster
along with Fido, providing he was
willing to earn the meal by cleaning
out the gutter.
The tramp agreed, and when he had
eaten his way through several sand
witches to a feeling of happiness. the
housewife came out with a reliable
looking hoe.
You needn't have gone to that trou
