An inset vest or collar of contrast
ing material, a novelty button or two
and now and then a bow or a ruffie
of the same material as the frock,
comprises the trimming of daytime
frocks and suits just now. The ten
deney to less trimming seems to be
growing stronger every day and UNI
less there comes some decided change
in the modes before long extreme sim
plicity will reign. The important
note I'm the frock shown in No. S421 is
the circular flounce at the bottom of
the skirt topped by the two gathered
ruffies; the collar is attractive and
new in cut too and the general effect
of the frock is youthful and chic. 1t
is made up here in a dark blue taft
feta with the small inset vest of
figured silk and a crush girdle Of
satin.

remove blackheads from my nose?
Thanking you in advance. I am.
CONSTANT READER.

the face viii remove blackheads.
II cannot be accomplished over
night About twice a week the face
should be steamed until the pores
are open. This is done by applying
hot cloths TO the face until the skin
Is very soft and pliable. Then wash
the face with good soap and rinse
IN hot water. Then squeeze out as
many blackheads as possible, being
careful not to pinch re skin or
bruise 1t in any way. Rinse the
face in hot and then in cold water
TO close the pores. Apply a good
lotion after the treatment, to pre-

Teaching Children How
to Pick Up Their Things

In the June Woman's Home Conn
panion appears a department called
The Exchange" in which various
contributors give household sugges-
tons. A Texas woman tells, as fol-
lows, how she has taught her children
to pick up their playthings:
Being a busy homekeeper. with
three healthy babies TO watch over.
I try 10 teach them to help them
selves. One great problem is to get
scattered toys picked up and put
away in proper places. I secured a
good-sized soap box, which l covered
neatly with denim, and to which /
fastened four casters. At night this
Is our freight train and it's very
simple matter to get my men TO push
the car around and collect scattered
freight (toys)."

reaching forward the box that Roy

Roy could not swim and he did not
dare jump in for his brother so he
waited anxiously on the docks. A
minute passed and Tom did not APP

only by the swishing of the waves

Roy had come to the conclusion that
he would keep UP the game. and so
he returned TO the city with his ae-
quaintance, and the whole upshot Of
the matter was that a price was
placed on Toms head by the jewellers,
the river was dragged for his body
with no success, and Roy was praised
highly for his valor, while his uncle
resolved TO disown his nephew, II he
ever returned. But after four days
he relented and had services for his
nephew's death, and the matter was
dropped, SO far as any action was
concerned, for the time being.

With a roaring sound in his ears,
Tom looked around him, bewildered
He saw a splendidly lighted room

Her Sweet Peas Won't Grow

Dear Miss Doom:
You have helped SO many others;
wish you would try and help me.
I planted some sweetpeas, which
are only up about eight inches.
They have been that way about a
month and do not seem to grow.
am very fond of sweetpeas and

expect 10 be where / can have ]

if you think nitrate of soda IS
good, and let me know what to
do. Thanking you. MRS. A. S.
A florist tells me that he thinks
you planted the sweetpeas too late;
that the heat of the early summer
sun acted on their vitality. Nitrate
of soda, he declares, will only serve
to cripple them, and he suggests
that you try watering them very
freely. Dig a little trench near the
roots and keep 1t filled with water.
Do not water them when the sun
is shining, but use plenty of water
at night.

Poultry Yard Suggestions.

BILE asset The most satisfactory
way of storing it is in barrels
Don't have too much poultry

and affords hiding place for lice.
A we'll cared for flock of hens
will pay bigger dividend than
anything else on the farm.
Better not try to keep chickens
and lice at the same time; the lice
are apt to get the best OF it if
you do
Never let the male birds run
with the hens after the breeding
season is over. In ertile eggs will
keep much longer than fertile ones.
A man who has gone into the
chicken business in Alaska writes
the United States Department of
Agriculture that he is clearing 81
per year on each hen.
The only guide post which points
to poultry profits reads: Common
sense, regular feeding, and plenty
of fresh. clean water to drink"
To break up broody hen. place
a watch in the nest. She won't
be able to stand the everlasting
ticking, and will soon leave the
nest.
A good grain ration to feed the
laying hens during the summer
months is composed as follows:
One half wheat, one-fourth oats and
one-fourth corn. Buckwheat may
be substituted for the oats if de-
sired.
Impure drinking water is one of
the most common causes of sick
