Plaids for Sprinu,

Plaid gowns have taken a strong
hold upon the fashionable world this
winter as the result of the novel ways
the French couturiers have devised
of combining the latest loom products
of many coloTs. The idea of modelling
smart frocks Oh simple straight lines
lends itself especially well to fabrics
which are attractive in themselves.
In other words, untrimmed dresses are
having special prominence for certain
occasions and depending for style upon
their simplicity and the modish ac-
cessories of the hour. Morning dresses
have new prominence this season In
a way they take the place of the erst-
while tailored suit of mannish cut
when worn with the separate coats
that also are emphasized more than for
many winters.

ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY

Roxbury, Ohio.-"When my little boy
was two weeks old he began breaking
out on his cheeks. The eczema began
just with pimples and they seemed to
itch so badly he would scratch his
face and cause a matter to run.
Wherever that matter would touch it
would cause another pimple until it
spread all over his body. 1t caused
Disagreement while it lasted. He had
fifteen places on one arm and his
head had several. The deepest places
on his cheeks were as large as sill
yer dollar on each side. He was so
restless at night we had to put nit
tens on him to keep him from scratch

The blue grosbeak is a small but

are Of great value to any farm they
choose for home, since they eat

Seven kinds of finches, commonly
known as grosbeaks, are to be found
within the boundaries of the United
States. The majority of these are
good friends of the farmer and de-
serve to be widely known in order
that their services may be appre-
ciated. The grosbeaks are easily dis
tinguished from other fnches by their
stout forms, bright plumage, massive
bills and melodious voices. All of
these birds perform invaluable serv-
ice to our farmers by destroying GER
tain of our own worst insect pests.
The rose-breasted grosbeak, potato
bug-bird, has au extensive range,
breeding from Kansas and the noun
tains Of Tennessee north to Canada
and north and east to the Atlantic
ocean and Newfoundland The rose
breast has long been held in high
esteem because of it's habit of preying
upon the potato beetle, and the name

Present for the New Baby.

For the latest baby of your dearest
friend, get up surprise box" from
materials at hand. Somewhere about
the house you will be certain to find
an oblong pasteboard box which may
be reduced to about 12x5x5 inches pro-
portion. This should be smoothly
covered with white lawn and it's top
transformed into a lid working on
hinges of narrow ribbon run through
double sets of punch holes, the
aperture in the lingerie being button
aforementioned. Two big white bath
towels from your reserve stock of
household linens should then be in
itial-embroidered in pink or floss and
laid in the box, leaving just enough
space at one end for a pair of pink
or blue wash cloths. Lacking a sup
ply of face cloths, squares that will
do as well may be made from partly
worn fine damask napkin, herring
bone hemmed with pink or blue floss.

BLOUSE MUST BE TIDY
NEAT ADJUSTMENT AT THE BACK
is IMPERATIVE.
Small Buttons to Fasten Garment Are
the Rest-Not at All Hard TO
Arrange and Keep In
Proper Shape.

Some people seem to think that the
back fastening of blouse is thing
that doesn't matter much because they
can't see it themselves. But it does
matter very much indeed, for, though
you can't see it, other people can.
and an untidy row of gaping buttons
and holes down the back will spoil
the smartest blouse that was ever
made.
l often use patent clips on the back
of a blouse, but the thing against
these is that they sometimes rust in
the wash. Little buttons are safer,
and, ii you put them on correctly they
will be perfectly tidy.
You see, you must make plain
hem down the left-hand edge, and sew
the buttons to this. Then finish the
right-hand edge in any way you like
some people put box-pleat, others a
couple of tucks turning different ways,
others just straight hem. But, what
ever it is, it must be all tidily done
and finished before you have any
dealings at all with the buttonholes.
These holes should never be worked
into the back of the blouse. They
should always be done on a separate
bit Of stuff-a piece of material fold
ed double, Or strip of strong tape.
Work holes through this to match the
buttons, and then put 1t inside the
blouse and sew it down at the inner
edge only.
You can catch the outer edge of the
blouse to the outer edge of the but
tonhole strip by knotted stitch here
and there, If you like. But the main
parts of the two edges should be left
separate from each other so that you
can slip your finger in between them
when you want to fasten the buttons.
When the button has gone through
the hole, it is hidden under the right
hand edge of the blouse, so that it
does not show bit. And, if a button
hole gets torn, there is no particular
harm done, for the material of the
blouse is not spoiled by it,
It's quite a good plan to keep one
of these little buttonhole strips al
ways in your basket, and work at it
when you have few spare moments.

PhiIjpuine Prosperity.

The report of the director of the
bureau of agriculture at Manila states
that the rice crop of the last year
was the greatest which has been re-
corded for many years in the Philip
pines, being 100 per cent. greater
than in the previous year. AS a direct
result of the bumper crop there has
been a decrease of rice imports OF
more than 176,000000 pounds, repre-
senting in value over $2,50O,000. There
was a banner export crop of hemp for
the year, marking the highest point
which it has reached in the history
of the industry. The exports amount

Now that it has wisely become the
fashion to give the bride a really use

every housekeeper needs cedar chest.
Really beautiful gifts they make, for
they are highly polished, carefully fin
ished, fitted with metallic locks of ar
tistic workmanship and are in every
respect ornamental. If the bride is
to live in a. hotel she will welcome a

may be slid under the bed, but if she
has taken an apartment choose a

it may help toward the furnishing of

could not work there any longer.

The Separator HELPS,

The fine working parts OF the cream
separator will collect more dust,
grease, etc, during the cold weather
than in the summer, making it neces-
sary to run some coal oil through it to
clean and loosen it up.
The separator now supplies cream
that is pure cream at all seasons.
There was never a more opportune
time for home butter making. If done
in the proper manner it can easily
compete with the creamery, for the
latter has all classes of milk supplied.
