RUGS FROM THE OLD CARPET
Not Costly. and Are Attractive
and Practical.

When your carpets have become
too worn for use. cut them up into
any desired sizes as foundations for
new rugs TO be made In this way:
Take. let US say. two yards OF dark
green monks cloth. which is So inches
wide, and lay II smoothly down over a
worn piece Of carpet. sewing the selvage
OF the carpet-or II the carpet has had
20 be- cut so that a sewage is impossi-
BILE. whip the raw edges carefully be
fore fastening the monks cloth 10 IL. At
the ends allow about two inches OF
the cloth TO extend beyond the edges
OF the carpet. which must be first
whipped before they are fastened
down. Then unravel the ends OF the
cloth-a particularly Easy thing 10
do with monks cloth-and In this way
make a finishing fringe. IL further
o-rnamentation is desired a stenciled
border may be painted on either end.
Or a band OF a lighter or darker shade
than the color Of the monks cloth
may be stitched on perfectly plain
or applied in q conventional design.
In my " home We have made not
only rugs such as the above. but most
attractive small rugs for the bath
room, using burlap instead OF the
monks cloth. and ornamenting them
with a simple cross-stitch design work
In heavy yarn. The old carpet under
them gives durability and keeps them
from curling up. When the burlap
wears out or becomes much soiled II
is a very simple matter to take II OF
and put a new piece over the old
foundation. These rugs cost very lit
tie, yet they are really a most attrac-
tive and practical invention.-Ex-

STOCKINGS MUST BE DAINTY
Broeaded. and Of the Finest SILK, They
Are Designed TO Match the
Street Suit.

Brocaded stockings OF the hlmiest.
finest silk in all the fashionable colors
approved for this season are displayed
among the novelties in footgear. To
match the street suits OF ~gabardine or
poplin there are blues and dull greens.
browns and grays In all the newest.
softest tones.
For evening wear the brocaded
stocking Is tinted delicately in all the
sweet pea shades. the mauve and Law
enders. the pale pink and the peach
color that are in such high favor with
young and old.
These colors are exploited as well
in these stockings as with tafetas
or other plain silks. The fancy stock
ing is considered a necessity at this
time, especially when variety provides
piquancy. The brocaded stocking Is
modish in the extreme, and is espe-
cially attractive when worn with cos
tunes which emphasize the new lifted
skirt styles-with sheer lace or chif-
fon ~oyerskirts of transparent beauty
and through the meshes OF which
dainty glimpses OF lovely hosiery are
but half revealed.

On one model a belt OF the material

and turn-back cuffs OF the material.
One a one OF the new jaunty short
lengths. Tafeta Is also being utilized
for the dust coat, and II is admirable
for this purpose as IL sheds the dust

The coat. OF soft. light weight. mixed
tweed or homespun in good English
or Scotch quality. is the most prac-
teal general utility motor coat one
can buy. II Is a trife heavy for mid
summer days. but motoring is cool
business and there are many ore
days when the light weight tweed coat
Is comfortable than when 1t is too

in these mixtures especially In the

without showing soil readily as the
plain one-tone woolens do.

DANISH FEAR OF BADNESS
Hair Drill. According to the Scalp
Specialists, viii Keep the Nat
uraI Locks Luxurisnt.

The hair drill is the latest and best
cure for badness. II certain scalp
specialists are to be believed, the
hair drill is going to Danish badness
altogether. A great advantage OF
hair drill Is that II is gratis. Try II

badness is due to bad soil. The
hair gets no nourishment. Hence II
falls out But the hair drill Will stop
all that.
The hair drill Is. briefly. scalp ex-
ercise. With practise II is possible
to move the scalp back and forth. to
and fro. almost round and round.
That sounds incredible. but Il isn't.
The first and easiest hair drill ex-
ercise is to lift the brows and fore
head as high as possible. then to low
er them as low as possible. BY prac-
tise, with this exercise, the scalp. too.
may be moved up and down.
A word TO the wise is sufficient.
The man who has mastered the first
exercise OF the hair drill can easily
think out and master many others.
Soon he will be moving his scalp
round and round-almost Hair drill
nourishes the scalp. II builds up
muscles in IL. IL gives the hair a
thick. strong, rich soil. Its results.
the scalp specialists say. are marve-
lous.

NOW THE TIME TO REN0vATE
Garments That Have Almost Been
Given Up Frequently Can BE
Refurbished inexpenslvely.

As the housewife naturally turns to
~renovating her house in the spring
time. so the young girl turns to reno
waiting her wardrobe. A little touch
OF something here and there will do
wonders in making IN old dress look
new and stylish. The suspender
tunic. worn over a plain shirt waist
and skirt. will make the costume ap-
pear like a one-piece dress, o so
popular.
Cut a strip about three inches wide
from the bottom OF a piece OF tafeta
about one and a half yards long; the
remaining material should then be
wide enough TO come just 10 the
thighs. Shir the vide taffeta along
the top edge and draw in enough to
ft the waist line. fastening securely
az the end. Insert the shirred edge
between a narrow band OF the same
material and stitch fatty so as TO
form a neat belt. Sew up the back a
little way, leaving a placket large
enough to get into easily. With the
strip cut from the bottom make two
suspenders long enough to go over
the shoulders and cross In front and
back. This Is done by folding back
the two raw edges OF each strip and
sewing them down together with a
fat seam. The %suspenders are firmly
tackled TO the front and back OF the
tunlc belt and slipped on over the
arms. The bottom OF the tunic may
be finished by a neat hem or cut In
long alternate points and bound with
\ narrow piece OF taffeta ribbon.
