Some Effective
Frocks and Hats

lines, ruff1e edging the sleeves and
a ruffie, wired, forming the collar.
In tho millinery world there is the
keynote of simplicity that is a fine
answer to the demand that women
are making on designers. One hat
of black velvet has q trimming of q.
beaded rose at one side. This Is of
pink beads, and the rose Is of the
popular wrapped type. 1t is placed
at the line where crown and brim
meet. A cord of pink taffeta defines
the line.
The military trend of fashion Ia
accountable for smart simplicity in
dress and hats. Many hats of the
turban type rejoice In simple cock
AIDES or military brushes. Cabochons
of beads, that may be wooden,
Opaque or glistening, are the only
ornaments on many large hats that
have brims twisted and turned with
military suggestion.
As for separate coats and capes,
the simple line is easily attained.
The cape that has a circular line
and q straight, stiff collar, with
simple trimming of braid, IL a great
favorite with women who dislike the
buttons and fur that have made
themselves felt. Smart coats that
are simply buttoned down the front
and flare off at the hips with plain
collars and cuffs are elegantly made
| Of handsome broadcloth OF velvet

two fancy buttons. The patch pock-
cts at the front may be omitted, but
they are considered exceedingly chic.
To make the coat requires 37s
yards 54-inch material. The front
has to be cut from an open fold of
the tweed, and from this same
breadth of goods may be obtained
the cape, cuffs, collar and sleeves.
Now, folding the material, lay the
back on the lengthwise fold and on
the opposite edge place the under
facing of the front.
The back Is the most difficult part
Of the construction, the front being
easy to manage after the under
facing is stitched in place, pockets
added and dart stitched at upper
edge. Form box pleat at centre of
back, sew sleeve to back and adjust
tape into position. Bring single large
and small 20" perforations to COR
responding perforations in back,
under box pleat and stitch cape to
position. Sew sleeve and cape to
front as notched. Close under arm
and sleeve seams as notched. Sew
collar to neck edge as notched. Close
cuff seams as notched; arrange to-
gether. notches at lower edges even
and sew to sleeve as notched.
Slash back under box pleat on line
of three small 20" perforations to
pass belt through and bring single
large and small "o' perforations to
corresponding perforations and tack.
Large colored bone buttons are
used almost exclusively on coats of
this kind.

rical designs, animals, children and
fruit Larger ones pricked with more
elaborate designs, sell for so, SO, rs

Fifteenth Anniversary
Dear Miss Doom

Dear Miss Doom
am going to celebrate the fif
teenth anniversary OF my wedding
and would like a few suggestions
as to decorations, menu. etc. WIN
you kindly advise me?
ANXIOUS.
The fifteenth anniversary is the
crystal wedding. A pretty centre
piece would be a glass bowl filed
with White flowers resting on mir
ror which would reflect the whole
and add to the crystal effect. Fa-
vors might be tiny vanity mirrors
with. gilt or silver handles for the
women and crystal paper weights
for the men.
Here is a dinner menu:
Clam Bouillon
Roast Chicken
Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Cranberry and Raisin Sauce
Dreamed Caulihower Celery
Tomatoes stuffed with celery, apple
and onion
Mayonnalse
Ice Cream In Fancy Moulds Cakes
Sailed Nuts
Roquefort or Camembert
Toasted Crackers
Coffee
If you are simply going to enter
tain in the evening, and not at din
ner, you might serve the following
supper:
Tomato Bouillon Heated Crackers
Dreamed oysters in Patty Shells
Chicken Salad Celery
Bread and Butter Sandwiches
Sailed Nuts Bonbons
Ice Cream Fancy Cakes
Coffee
Use as much glass as possible
on the table, to emphasize the crys-
tai effect. An entire service of
glass may be made up at small ex-
pense, using the cheaper glass
dishes offered by the stores
An appropriate contest for the
evening would be a puzzle game
called crystal illusions.
This consists of q series of riddles
of which the following are hasty
examples. They are written ON
cards or on blackboard and each
player is asked to guess and write
down the subject of the illusion.
What heroine wore footgear Of
novel character? cinderella of the
glass slippery
What proverb mentions what are
perhaps the most fragile dwellings
on record? (That which relates
TO people who live In glass houses.)
What heroine is rendered famous
through a mirror? (Alice of Won
derland adventures.)
You will be able to think of
great many questions when you be-
gin. Award prizes to the man and
woman having the longest list of
correct answers. Crystal vases,
pin trays, powder boxes, match
safes and ash trays would make
appropriate prizes.

Dorothy and Mary Elizabeth went
around to the back yard, where
Davie and Billy were romping with
Nipper.
Nipper was growing rapidly. His
legs were growing faster than the
rest of him, making him look as II
he were walking about on stills. At
least, that is what father Dear said
about him.
He was as jolly puppy-dog as
could be found. Mother Dear often
said that she was sure he was silly,
because when he'd see a tiny bug
on the sidewalk he'd bark at 1t with
all his might, striking at 1t with
his paw, but never quite daring to
touch it. And If the little bug would
start to run away Nipper would
yelp In terror and scamper to what
he considered a safe distance.
And one time he became very
much interested in some chickens
that were wandering over the back
lawn peclxing at all sorts OF bugs
and things that chickens like.
Nipper watched them from the
back porch, his head on one side
and his ears cooked saucily. Pres
emily he went slowly down the steps
and advanced cautiously toward a
big, white hen.
Go on up to her." encouraged
Uncle Dick, who was sitting on the
steps watching, she's only a hem
Nipper took heart at his words
and advanced step or two farther.
The hen looked up just then. and
Nipper scurried back to Uncle Dick,
who would have nothing TO do with
him.
you're a coward" Uncle Dick
told him, his voice full of scorn,
land you pretend to be a brave dog
Shame on you"
Nipper started down the steps
again urged on by Uncle Dick
The hen pretended not to notice.
She was very busy pecklng at the
grass. At last Nipper reached her
side. summoned all his courage and
reached out to touch her with his
paw. Quick as a wink the hen
stretched her neck and gave Nipper
a sharp peck on the nose.
Then, bowling with all his puppy
might, Nipper hurried back to Uncle
Dick. his tail as far between his
legs as he could possibly get it, and
his ears held fiat to his head while
unsympathetic Uncle Dick laughed
until the tears rolled down his
cheeks.
1t was happenings of this sort that
made Mother Dear declare that Nip
per was a silly dog.

Excessive Precipitation

Dear Margery Doom:
Please tell me how to keep from
perspiring too freely. I ruin all of
my pretty waists in no time, and
am getting discouraged. | wear
shields, but they do not help very
much. Thanking you in advance,
ELIZABETH
A normal flow of perspiration is
to be desired, since ii is a first aid
TO a clear, fresh skin. A powder
which is slightly astringent, and so
to be recommended for excessive
perspiration, is made from two
drachms each of oxide Of zinc and
boracic acid, four drachms Of lyco-
podium powder, an ounce of starch
and half an ounce of powdered orris
root. These must be mixed, and
then sifted many times to mingle
thoroughly. Apply with big puff,
busting quickly.
Sponglng thoroughly witt cold
water after bathing will clt.Ae the
pores quickly and tend to moderate
the flow of perspiration.

Grease and Oil Stains

To remove grease from silk or satin
moisten the spot and rub with ether
and chloroform, or yolk of egg and
chioroform; then put French chalk
thickly over the spot, II necessary
holding a hot iron over it to melt the
grease.
Sewing machine oil spots should be
covered thickly with lard; let this
stand long enough to absorb the
crease. then wash in cold water and
soap.
Machine grease may be removed by
using cold water, ammonia and soap.
This will not cause colors to run.

Caring for the Hands

Always wear channels leather
gloves at least two or three sizes too
large for you when busting or doing
similar work.
Always wear thin rubber surgeon
gloves when doing work which neces-
states the hands being in and out OF
the water. says an exchange.
Never allow dirt to become in
grained in the skin. Use a stiff nail
brush for scrubbing the nails. II the
hands have become very dirty ana
greasy, rub some vaseline well into
the skin before washing.
Always wash the hands in soft
water (borax OF lemon Juice are
splendid water softeners), and rub
glycerine and rose-water mixed in the
proportion of two parts Of glycerine
to one of rose-water well into the
skin at night.

At a Wedding Reception

Dear Miss Doom;
Kindly tell me what a bride
should do at the wedding reception.
Does she say goodbye to the
guests before she starts on her
trip? And how long Is she sup
posed to stay before leaving to
dress. Please answer as soon as
possible, and win the thanks of
UNCERTAIN BRIDE.
At the reception the bride re-
mains about an hour with the
guests and then leaves to change
her dress for the wedding journey.
The maid of honor may accom-
pany to asst her In removing her
veil and offer any other services.
She does not say goodbye to the
guests, who will depart informally
after greeting her and wishing her
happiness, etc.

Sleeves Must Be Correct

BY their sleeves you may know
them. That has been true OF the
frocks of today.
For several years sleeves have not
been of especial Importance. Most OF
them have been cut on kimono lines
and so they we're no sleeves at ALL
and perhaps that is why they were
not important. But this year we have
a cut-and dried sleeve to deal with
again, says an exchange.
To be sure, the new evening gowns
have no sleeves. But this absence of
sleeves is as characteristic of the style
as any other sleeve detail would be.

Coffee Stains

The most difficult of all stains to
take out are those made by coffee.
With care, however, the stain can be
removed from the most delicate silk
or WOODEN fabrics. Rub the mark
gently with q little pure gylcerins,
then rinse it in lukewarm water, lay

Make some strong coffee, boiling
it for an hour; strain. and mix with
cold water until the right tint has
been secured; then soak the cur
tains in 1t for half an hour after
they have been washed and rinsed
in the regular way. Dry on frames,
or on sheets on the floor, pinning
each scallop firmly.
Dip a piece of lace into the fluid.

color, before attempting to color
the curtains.

Afternoon Tea Sandwiches

Cut the bread very thin and re-
move the crusts. Chop the walnuts
fine and mix with the cream cheese
to a paste, using little olive oil or
butter to soften the cheese II neces-
sary. Spread the mixture on one
slice and place a lettuce leaf on the
other. Press the two together and
cut off the edges of the lettuce that
poke out.
Cream cheese and olive sand
wiches are made the same way, only
you omit the lettuce leaf.
A sweet sandwich served at after
noon tea is extremely thin bread
and butter, sprinkled with grated
maple sugar and then pressed to-
gether into sandwiches.
Another filling is honey and but
ter blended together and spread
between Boston brown bread. Or
white bread spread with honey and
thick whipped cream,

When washing windows put few
drops Of turpentine in the water
They will dry much quicker and they
will be clear and bright.
When curtain pins have been in use
for some time they are apt to become
rusty. To remedy this, let them stand
for a few minutes in a cup OF water,
to which a little ammonia has been
added Then remove and rub well,
and they will look like new again.
A tiled floor should be wiped over
with SKINNED milk once week after
washing. 1t Is a good plan to rub the
tiles with q little linseed oil once IN
two months, and afterward polish
them with O clean cloth.
