TIME other day in a certain city
I sent a bundle to the laun-
dry.
When the clothes came back
there came also a big, square,
sealed envelope. I opened this
envelope and found in 1t three
ten-dollar bills. all nicely washed,
starched, ironed and carefully
placed between two pieces of
cardboard ard tied up with blue
ribbon in lovers knot.
No explanation was made, but
in the bill saw they had charged
me % cents for laundering the
mazuma.
OF course I kicked, but what
was the use!
Then just for the fun of the
thing, in order to get a line on
that particular washhouse, I went
around and demanded an explain
alton.
The young woman in charge
said they had found the money
in the right-hand pocket of left
hand white vest which I had sent
in the bundle.
Then she explained, quite in
cidentally, that whenever soiled
clothes came in every garment
was carefully inspected for valu-
ables. Every day they found
money in pockets, diamond studs
in shirt bosoms, valuable links in
cuffs and collar buttons enough to
roll under all the bureaus in
Christendom.

tect our customers against their

A Baby and Its Bottle

Dear Margery Doom:
You seem to know everything, so,
to decide an argument, will you

should be weaned from the bottle?

been raised on the bottle.
ARGUMENT.
DR.. Emmett Holt, in his book,
"The Care and Feeding of Chill
dren," says: with children who are
not ill, weaving from the bottle
should invariably be begun at the
end of the first year, and after
child is thirteen or fourteen months
old the bottle should not be given
except at the night feeding
DR.. Holt further declares that
there are no advantages and some
serious objections to giving the bot
tie to a child until it is two or three
years old.
colder children" he says, "often
become so attached to the bottle
that only with the greatest difficulty
can they be made to give 1t up.
Frequently they will refuse all solid
food, and will take nothing except
from the bottle so long as 1t is
given, and when finally at three or
four years, it is taken away, they
will not touch milk during the rest
of their childhood"

Very raw, indeed. | again declare.
has been our dealing with the kitchen
question as we have found it in the
last thirty years. What caused it?
Why should women rise" and refuse
to do the work incumbent upon heir
station in life? Fully two-thirds of
the American women who suddenly
took this new stand against kitchen
work, demanding maids and trying to
live like really rich people, were new
to the thing themselves. Their
mothers and grandmothers cooked
and made soap and washed and
ironed and took part in every form of
household toll, yet suddenly the
American woman became person of
leisure, reading recipes for massaging
and declaring that She couldn't be
expected TO go into the kitchen.
The thing which caused this anti
kitchen movement was our very an
formed idea of democracy. We We're
putting the cart before the horse. In
seeking our natural rights We were
contributing to the most blatant plu-
tocracy on the face of the earth. We
were trying to demonstrate our right
not to work, whereas the true idea of
democracy is to demonstrate our
right to work, and our ability to do
it cheerfully and well.
The glory Of the early American
home was in the kitchen. Look back
at the gracious woman who made her
ounce preserves and her calf s-foot
Jelly there when you were tiny
child, if you do not believe it. There
will never be a finer type of woman
hood on the earth than she was. The
early American kitchen with its plain
living and high thinking was place
of spiritual light. The exodus from
the kitchen. which came with the
idea of being personally well-eroomed
and dainty, that struck the young
American women about the same
time, left the American kitchen
spiritually poor and doomed it to Il
regime of cheapness pitiful to coll
template.

takes to imagine that the doing of

Buckles Instead of Bows

Bows and rosettes are being almost
entirely supplanted by the buckle, eX-
cept in the case of the tango slipper,
where the crossed straps end in a
bow some three inches above the slip
per top. The silver buckle is not ex-
pensive and goes well with almost
any costume.
Dull kid, while it never is as stylish
or modish as patent leather, can al
ways be safely worn by the woman
who is conservative and who desires
to have the comfort that patent
leather never wholly affords, says the
Philadelphia Record.
Much attention Is given to the Sc
lection of the buckles. Rhinestones
continue to be strongly favored for
evening slippers and are shown in
square, round, oval and other fancy
shapes. Rhinestones combined with
colored stones, particularly amethysts
sapphires and emeralds, are very ef-
fective. Occasionally buckles made
of only one of these stones were worn
on slippers of matching shades to the
frock.

HOW TANGO FIENDS MAY
CARE FOR THEIR FEET

You will enjoy a dance ever so
much more If when dressing you wash
your feet in very hot water.
Rub these we'll with methylated
spirit, allowing il to dry on.
Then take a cake of soap, moisten
il slightly and rub the heels well with
this, and also the balls of the feet and
across the joints or the toes.
After doing this you will have per-
feet comfort through the evening and
the feet are never swollen or blistered
next day.
From a man who dances for a living
and is practically IN his feet twelve
hours of every tWenty-four comes the
following advice:
Change the shoes at least three
times from rising until retiring, the
stockings at least twice, and keep the
feet absolutely clean.
To be clean they should be bathed
three times each day, says an eX
change.
Use soap only in the morning, other
times merely warm or hot water.
After drying rub carefully with a
good talcum powder.
Twice a week rub the entire foot
with vaseline.
White Is best.
Oil Of sweet almonds is also sooth-
ing.
No other care is necessary unless
there are old troubles to contend with.

The Grow and the Dove

Once upon a time crow and dove
visited a peacock. On the way home
the crow said, What do you think of
Mr.. Peacock? Did you ever meet such
a rude person? What an unpleasant
voice he has! And did you notice his
feet? How ugly they are. Now tell
me, did you ever see anyone so silly

how handsome his tail is.

Fabrics Soft and Rich

Fabrics are interesting because,
through all their diversity, there runs
a certain motif of softness and rich
ness. For normal costumes, velvet
finished silks and woods, such as
lightweight duvetyne. velours and the
like have great prominence. Broad
cloth in it's glorified forms, namely
peau de peche and peau de sour!s
(peach skin and mouse skin, forsooth),
is conspicuous. Charmeuse satin is
being made up into wonderful cos
tunes and taffeta for suits will be
among the smartest of all things as
soon as the weather allows it's being
worn. For the simpler costumes, says
Today's Magazine, serge holds all IS
prestige, but there are newer suitings
in basket weave and in crepe weave
that are to take an important place
and have the double advantage of be-
ing both new and handsome. Waist
coats and waistcoat effects make an
important feature and a great many
trimming fabrics of really superb
color are to be used for their making.

927O-SoO2

In separate eoats as well as froeks
and suits the raglan shoulder is an
approved feature. There is also a
tendency to belt them in slightly at
the bottom or at low waistline al
lowing the bottom to tlare in the new
modish way. The coat shown in No.
500 is developed in brown tweed
mixture and combined with a three
TERED skirt of the same material; this
makes an unusually effective walking
suit, and both coat and skirt may be
worn separately If desired.
If gabardine, serge or MORE We're
used with this design. a suit dressy
enough for almost any occasion would
result.
This coat requires for size SO BE
yards of 96-inch, or 3l4 yards of AZ
inch material; AS yards of the same
widths will be needed for the skirt.
A happy combination of MORE and
silk poplin was used in the afternoon

! colored silks. There is also guimpe
