Mending Hints


II a glove splits at the thumb or
near q seam a sure and permanent
way to repair it is to buttonhole the
kid either side of the split; then sew
the buttonholed edges together. The
result will be a new firm seam that
will never tear again. When button
holing be sure TO take good hold Of
the kid; otherwise the stitches will
pull out from the kid. says an ex-
change.
ALI stockings, no matter whether
silk. Isle thread or cotton, should be
darned with darning silk. 1t makes
heater darn and Is never hard on
the foot, and also 1t wears better.
Darning cotton Is usually poor stun.
When a .hand-embroidered blouse
begins to show wear and little holes
appear simply buttonhole around the
tear or embroider a dot over the worn
place. The effect will be good and
the blouse will last much longer If
repaired In this way.

A housekeeping expert claims. from
actual experience. that a sack Of -four
baked into breadstuffs at home yields
much more than can be purchased at
the bakery with the same amount Of
money.
With one sack OF -four, for which
she paid so cents-pre- war prices--she
says she made sixteen loaves Of bread,
102 rolls, fifty-three biscuits, $50 small
cookies, two double crest pies, thir-
teen waffies nine tablespoonfuls -four
for thickening gravies. The same
price, so cents, obtained sixteen small
loaves of bread from the baker
The sixteen loaves OF bread eaualled
the amount spent for the sack OF -four;
the other articles were made with no
flour expense. and other necessary ex-
penses for heat. lard, etc. did not
bring up the total cost to bakery fig
ures. This is an interesting compari-
son for Observation-Disclosures.

Fashion Foibles

The high hairdressing has made
fashionable many beautiful combs
and pins.
Stifhy starched linen collars of the
outstanding variety are considered
smart.
Plaids and checks OF many sorts are
In favor, especially for coates and
vests.
Some OF the new tulle and batiste
lingerie gowns have foundation skirts
which suggest Turkish trousers.
Some of the velvet street costumes
have extremely long coats, reaching
nearly to the hem OF the gown.
On navy and black utility coats col
lars of changeabie taffeta or broad
stripes are used to give q little color.
The latest blcuses are extremely
simple in line. Tucks. bands Of in
sertion. frills and rows OF hemstitch-
ing are the varieties of trimming
most favored.

Mannish Blouses

Sport shirts for tennis and golf
wear during autumn weeks are ex-
ceedingly mannish In cut. In fact,
they have even masculine shtrt-tails,
to be tucked out of sight, Of course,
beneath the shirt-band, and the
sleeves are finished with link cuffs
which may be rolled back on the
arm during the game. These shirts
are beautifully tailored and finished
and are Of white tub silk or a finely
striped pussy willow silk, not sheer
enough to show through" since a
transparent effect would entirely
destroy the tailored, mannish sugges-
ton.

The Children $ Hour .

Dear Margery Doom:
VIII you please publish the poem.
The Children's Hour" Thanking
you. T. L. P
THE cHILDREN'S HOUR.
Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning 20
lower.
Comes pause in the days occupa-
tons.
That is known as the children's
hour.
I hear in the chamber above me
The patter Of little feet,
The sound of a door that is opened
And voices soft and sweet.
From my study I see in the lamp
light,
Descending the broad halIstair.
Grave Alice and laughing Allegro
And Edith with golden hair.
A whisper, and then a silence;
Yet I know by their merry eyes
They are plotting and planning to-
gether
To take me by surprise.
4 sudden rush from the stairway.
A sudden raid from the hall,
BY three doors left unguarded.
They enter my castle wall
They climb up into my turret,
Ger the arms and back OF my
chair;
II try to escape they surround me;
They seem to be everywhere.
They almost devour me with Kisses
Their arms about me entwine-
TIL I think OF the Bishop OF Bingon
In his mouse-tower on the RhinA.
Do you think, o blue-eyed bandIftL
Because you have scaled the wall
such an old mustache as / am
Is not match for you all?
I have you fast in my fortress,
And / win not let you depart
But put you down into the dungeon
In the roundtower OF my heart
And there will I keep you forever.
Yes, forever and day,
TIL the walls shall cruTnble IN ruin
And rnoulder in dust away.

| There are pleats at either side to give
the skirt the necessary flare, and the

Mary Elizabeth looked dubious,

little girl names Dulcie who lived
In a big, big forest with her father,
who was a wood-cutter.
Dulcie's mother was dead, and
she Was very lonely.
You must never go away from
the house when I am away from
home her father often told her,
and as Dulcie was a good little girl,
she obeyed him.
But she used to sit on the door

wonder il there were boys and girls
ON the other side of 1t.
"'If only had playmate she
would often sigh.

come into her dooryard and sing to
her. Some of them were so tame
that they would fly to her feet for
the crumbs she would scatter on

and older women, made OF delicate

satin with gorgeous Innings for the
latter. Small capes are often used in
stead of scarfs. The so-called cape
waistcoat is really a sleeveless jacket
cut rather full at the base, so that IL
may be drawn up In front. In striped
