immortal principle made Victor Blue

Mexico it will be Blues duty to see
that the ships are prOvisioned and

Laundering Muslin Collars.

THERE is only one valid objection to
the new muslin collars. They are
fragile Like maline, moisture reduces
them to shapelessness. Wrinkles are as
obvious them as they are on linen
shirt waists.
Fortunately. laundering restores them
to their original state of dainty lowell
ness, if the laundering is of the right
sort
These collars depend for their shape on
their stiffness. Sometimes they are stiff
enough if they are ironed wet. But usual
ly they need little starch.
Here is a recipe for the right sort of
starch to use for these collars of linen
and organdy that are the earmark of
the new fashions:
Add piece of paraffin the size of an
egg and a piece of white or CASTLE soap
the size of a hazelnut to a quart of
boiling water Mix the starch with cold
water in a bowl. using whatever proper
ton of starch to a quart of water that
the particular brand of starch calls for
to make a thin starch. Add the cold
mixture to the boiling mixture and let
it boil up two or three times. Then add
little bluing, in liquid form.

Wedding Favors.

THERE are almost innumerable place
cards that are suitable for luncheons
and dinners given to the bride and her
friends One design that is new and at
tractive shows roguish cupid aiming

per There is a set, for the wedding
party-the bride and bridegroom, the
maids and ushers, flower girls and pages
and the minister.
Then there is a set that shows trunks
and band boxes, suit cases and handbags
all tagged with white ribbon bows and
newly married" signs. Another set of
bridal party figures shows tiny artificial
, flowers in the hands of all the paper
maids and the bride.
Floral favors of some sort are prettiest
for spring wedding sayeties. Little china
baskets that can be filed with tiny roses
are attractive. So are small baskets of
wicker Then there are paper-covered
cases of. dozen varieties to hold candies
white roses chrysanthemums and
tulips, and festoons of smaller flowers all
make effective decorations for these cases.

FasEaiomimg Honn@- 7 rinnnn@d Hats

1t is an odd and interesting fact that
whenever styles seem simple enough
to evolve successfully at. home the
materials of which they are evolved
are expensive.
In the early spring young woman
looked at an attractive black straw hat
in one of the shops. 1t was becoming
and interesting shape. and it was sim
ply trimmed with a wreath of tiny
flowers, a loop Of moire ribbon and a
small steel dart.
The price of the hat was $40. AS the
young woman's limit was $40 she could
not buy the hat. But she took note Of
the way it was trimmed and decided
to copy it. The trimming was SO sim
pIy arranged that she was sure she
could duplicate it,
In the first place. good black straw
hat cost more than she had expected it
to cost. She had hoped the tarln OF
some other unseen force would have re-
duced the price of plain nlacR straw Nv
hats. But as the trimmings were so
simple she decided she could be nt-
tie extravagant about the nat: Every
thing depended on smart and pecoHi-
ing shape So she finally decided on one
that cost $7.75.
Then she went in search of just the
right wreath.
AS nearly as she could remember the
wreath she was trying to duplicate was
made up of small roses OF various
hues, made of silk, interspersed with
green foliage and tiny rounds. like PIN
cushions, of velvet Of violet, blue, goio.
gray and green. She was quite sure
about the colors--
At last she spotted a wreath on a
show case that she thought would
answer her purpose. She looked at the

Early to Bed, Etc.

EARLY hours were the rule in colonial
IL days, and here is a verse written in
England at the time the early colonists
were leaving there which they must have
taken to heart:
In winter at five o'clock, servant, arise.
In summer at four is a very good guise.
One wonders what the servant problem
would be today if such a verse were
posted inside the kitchen door.
But, of course, modern conveniences
have made unearthly hours unnecessary.
In the old days there were no furnaces,
gas stoves, electric toasters and carpet
sweepers to make the getting Of break

To Preserve Flowers.

TO keep flowers fresh. which are to be
! packed and sent away or kept for
some time for special occasion, thinly
coat them with wax. First take a piece
of paraffin wax and melt it in tin
cup set in boiling water. Then with
tiny camels hair brush quickly brush
the blossoms, stems and leaves. giving
the petals very thin coat. This treat
ment will not injure the flowers at all,
but will preserve them perfectly in their
beauty and fragrance.

there seems to be little doubt among
experts and onlookers.
However. that is wandering away from
the broad highway. The subject of the
moment is of red-brown, rustling silk

by belle of the eighties. and Will be

The bodice that goes with this looped-

next step in the fashion if they follow

Add to this costume a small sailor hat

wonderment if this is the costume and

bears inside magic name, and after TAX
ing account of every detail, one will say:
'.I'll try the Galleries first to see II they
have it, And they have it
One meets so many Americans in the
aisles there and especially in the huge
department given over to blouses and
lingerie, that it is easy to forget that
America is more than 5000 miles away.
And among these groups are buyers from
the best American firms who realize the
commercial possibilities in taking home
novelties that are one-fourth their origi-
nal price at the big houses.
No matter how much one may assert
that the things bought there do not wear
well, that the sewing is not good. that
the quality used Is not OF the best; such
arguments do not persuade women away
from buying there. A for that, no one
can praise the sewing of the most ex-
pensive gowns at the best houses. 1t ie
a well known fact that one must be con-
tent to pay even at the Rue de la Paix,
for material and ideas; the seams are
likely to fall apart under slight pressure.
Fashion changes SO rapidly today that
the woman who tries to follow it. even
from afar, is not overzealous about wear
ing the same clothes for too long a pc
riod of time, and neither Is she over
anxious to give away a costly gown as
soon as its vogue is diminishing. There
fore, more rich women than most persons
are conscious of are delighted to buy the
novelty of the moment, and experience
that genuine satisfaction which comes
from discarding g gown with clear con-
science when one is tired of it.
1t is the philosophy back of all this
that explains the Galleries strong appeal
to the majority. 1t gives them chance
to buy the most fashionable garment at
price they can afford.
The student of clothes goes to the
Galleries for a good reason. which is to
find out what models have been success
fully launched into popularity. By some
process not yet explained. the best gowns
of the famous houses are copied for this
huge shop before the models have been
delivered in America to their purchasers.
Out of all those designed and exploited,
there comes an assured popularity to a
certain number of gowns. and these are
reproduced by the hundreds.
Last August when that well known
gown of black taffeta with its tight low
er skirt and scalloped tunic was the fea-
ture of the hour, one could buy it for $25
at the Galleries. No wonder the world
was flooded with copies of it.
There is no one popular model like this
today, but, as the woman in America is
always interested in the clothes that are
worn in Paris, it might interest her to
know what styles one can buy over here
at small prices. 1t may also make her
unhappy, for labor is not as cheap there
as here. and it is not possible for gowns
to be sold for less than $50 in the same
class as those that sell for that price
here. In truth. l saw a dozen models

we realize that by so doing We save
vitality?
Whatever the philosophy OF it. the fact
is that We possess an exceedingly happy
knack of making the best of what is put
before us. and if the little ball on the
roulette wheel of fashion drops on the
numbers 1870 We shall accept 1t with the
grace and amiability of good sports. and
see what we can do afterward to shape
it to our tastes.
There is no lack of plaid materials
used in the gowns at the Galleries La
fayette. Strange to say there is more
plaid than Roman stripping, and earlier
in the season ii was the other way
around at the great houses. This fact
is interesting. A few models which are
quite popular are made with an indeter-
inmate Roman stripping and dark blue
gabardine combined the former fabric is
used for the narrow plain skirt. the wide
cuffs, the long. high collar and bow at
back of belt; the dark blue gabardine is
used in three deep ruffies that slope away
to nothing in front.
But the majority of the models shown
and offered as the most popular choice
of Paris had plaids and not stripings.
with blue, black and deep mustard yell
low.
It would be difficult to count the dark
blue gowns This was also true at the
openings at the famous houses in Feb
ruary. There is blue taffeta, first and
foremost then blue moire in three tones
of blue, bengaline silk with a fine rib,
reliable gabardine, and here and there,
satin.
The latter fabric is not in high favor.
1t is sometimes used as lining for long
tunics of blue cloth or crepe de chine,
and 1t is the only available fabric for the
Foundation of an evening gown which is
built of transparent tissue.

Maple Sugar Crop.

TT is said that the weather conditions
l cause a difference in the maple sugar
crop from year to year of as much as
25.OOG,OOO pounds. which is almost 80
per cent of the total yield.
The question How much sugar does
one tree yield?" brings very interesting
answers from persons who know moth
ing of maple trees One guess by an
ignorant one hazarded thirty pounds. an
other hundred.
The correct answer is that each tree
yields from one to three pounds. Three
pounds is the yield of a good season, one
pound of a poor season. There have been
instances of a yield of five or six pounds,
but those instances are rare.
