 From time to time the liquid nay be takea away from the tumbler. It is important to do this. as sometimes, for reasons which are often not clear. the flowers will cease giving out perfume. Yet all the time the ice would be slowly melting, and the water thus produced would tend much to weaken the extract.
 Of course, as long the liquid which drops through the filter Is highly perfumed there is reason why the extraction should not be 2 continued for indefinite period 1t will always be found that the best results are secured in an absolutely still atmosphere: draughts will tend to disperse the fragrance that it is not concentrated over the funnel.
 Unless the essence is treated with alcohol 1t will not keep sweet for more than week or so. It Is, however. a simple matter to get small quantity of spirits of wine and add about one part of this to three parts of the violet essence.

Some Pointers on Palmistrv.

TT HE hands show the owner s character
 istics as strongly as do the face and
 head. A general idea of some of them may be gained from the following hints
 on palmistry:
 Smooth, conical fingers are a sign of talk ativeness and levity
 Strong knotted fingers show prudence and capacity
 A palm too slim, narrow, and feeble indi- cates instinct without capacity. If the palm is too large. the person is coarse and animal-lke.
 If the outer joint of the fing rs form a knot the person has we'll arranged ideas.

How to Make Violet Perfume.
By HELEN BRANDT.

" yITH a small amount of trouble it Is \A/ possible to secure the fragrance of
 w fresh violets in such a form that
 1t may be stored away for future use The only thing which it will be neces- sary to purchase is glass funnel which Is drawn out to a fine point This article can be secured from any druggist.
 It is important that the violets should be freshly gathered. In many cases it is not unusual for the blooms not to have power- ful fragrance until they have been in the warm atmosphere of a room for few hours When 1t is considered they are giving out their perfume freely one may proceed on the following lines
 Of course, it is understood the violets of which there should be a considerable num- Der, are in bowl of water. A small amount of ice will be necessary. little more than Is needed to fill the funnel being all-snffi- cient. This should be broken up into frag- ments about the size of one's thumb. Now get a clean glass vessel, such as a tumbler, and in this stand the funnel. Finally sprinkle quantity of salt over the ice andin this way produce, a freezing mixture. The rdolets should be placed in close proximies 10 the funnel. and it may be good plan to raise

The individual who has knots at the middle joints of the fingers always has a place for everything and everything in it's place.
 Intellect belongs to knotted fingers, grace 10 smooth ones
 The person whose fingers are smooth and pointed Is guided wholly by inspiration and never has reason for what he does
 The hard wrinlIled hand which is opened to it's full extent with difficulty shows in- tractability. a mind without pliancy
 Large hands mean a close attention to minute details.
 Broad nails show the owner to be bashful and gentle.

lane Barton Answers Queries.

ECONOMICAL: Remodeled dresses are only economical when the material is good and the style modern enough to make new lines possible. Generally 1t Is wiser to have dress cleaned repeatedly and wear out just as 1t is or after one or two cleanings 1t can be dyed. Be sr 8 our new material Is usabe before counting sa 1t to remake frock. Often hard wear has faded the dress until it is far better to use a complete con trast with 1t than the same goods.
 * *
 NERVOUS: There Is no use going at rp- ping in frenzy. It is slow. tedious work at best. and hurry means cutting of the ma terial-often | ruined gown. Never try to pull seam apart. Cut the stitches with sharp knife or pair of small scissors. Some times 1t is easier to rip by catching the end of the thread on one side of the seam and pulling it until M stops. then turning to other side of seam and pulling the opposite thread Be careful not to stretch the material as you rip. especially around the armholes and neck band. Pull out all threads and brush we'll.
 *
 BLONDE: With your brown eyes and blonde hair you should find yellow becoming, especially as your eyebrows are dark. Do not get the orange or mustard tones, how ever. but the maize. canary, or golden yel- lows. As you have never worn this shade try 1t for the first time in soft satin or mes saline. with creamy lace on the upper part The sheen of satin Is more becoming than duller tones.

.s Putting on Lace Trimmings.

uttiHB on Lace TIn1n1ngS.
 Many of the sheer summer frocks are trimmed with insertions of embroidery or lace For the former it may be put on in some of the ways described for the seam beading. To insert lace haste the insertion Tn the position desired, basting both edges For narrow width the material is cut through the middle, turned back, pasted, stitched close to the edge of the lace on the right side, and stitched the second time in raw edge, or a narrow hem is turned and the stitching is caught through the hem, in which case the second stitching may be omitted For wider insertion cut away the material, leaving enough on each edge for the narrow hem covering the line of basting and proceed in the same way.
 Lace edgings are usually whipped on by hand to rolled edge Hold the wrong side of the material toward you with the raw edge up Place the right side of the lace to the right side of the material, the finished straight edge up, roll the garment material into a narrow hem and overcast to the lace. This must be eased enough not to pull. If 1t is to be put on full the thread of the lace is drawn and the fullness adjusted by pinning to the material at intervals below the line of whipping.

F Hcnning Ruflcs on Machine.

It is quite easy with a little practice to hem the edge of a ruffie on the machine and run on the lace at the same time. have done this with one hand a hand power machine which needed the right hand for turning. Have the edge of your material even and free from ravelings.put on the narrowest hemmer. fine needle and correspondingly fine cotton with a neat small stitch. Hold the lace on top of the material with the edge so that 1t hangs down when finished. and hem in the usual way, catching through the lace and hem. Ease the lace slightly so 1t does not " draw"
 When an embroidered edging is used on the end of plain ruff1e it is usually placed right side to right side of material. pasted SO the embroidery is just eased. A facing of any desired depth is then pasted on top of the em- broidery and narrow seam stitched through the three thicknesses. Crease up this sea,n on the under side of the ruffie so the riybt side of the edging hangs down, baste along the lower edge of the facing, then turn in the upper edges and hem by hand or machine
 Often lace frill Is overcast to hemr,.d or laced rufie. Overcast on the wrong std. with small stitches taken through the lowsr edge of the hem.

 CORPULENT: Why not wear the gauge or silk combinations since you are so stoutf Once worn they will never be discarded. as not only do they do away with bulk but they prevent annoying wrinkles under the corset and chafing of delicate skin. Cambric or muslin drawers are omitted. If you will not have the gauge combinations, by all pieans wear those of cambric or longcloth to avoid extra wristbands. There is three piece French combination of corset cover, drawers and short skirt. but either corset cover and drawer combination or circular drawers and a princess slip is preferable.

Put on in Several Woys.

Frills and ruffies are more used tbar <. several seasons past. These may he mt ,r in several ways. As they are somewhat mo-. scant than usual allow little less than or cs and a half the space to be trimmed. Cut fro,,, as wide material as possible as the fev.- seams the better. Cut all the strips tbe :. ,,,. depth and join in tiny French seam.. crt- ting of the selvages. or for sheer n,ater,.l~ make the small seam. then trim quite clo.e and buttonhole the edges together.
 Trim the bottom of the ruf1le in any way desired by hemmng. lace edging, embroider- ing in scallops, or trimming with a bias bind ing of contrasting color or material. rhls part is the same for all ruffles save tl1at occs- sionally they are cut on the bias, and if inc material is not sti6 they can sometimes be made on the length rather than across the goods.
 The finish of the top depends upon how tf> rufie is to be adjusted. Tn any case dfvtda the ruffies into four sections. marked by ! colored thread and put corresponding threads on the skirt, which has first been marked bv creating or basting along the line to k. trimmed. Always hem and hang the skirt be- fore adjustine the ruf5es or the work mav how to be done oyer.
