RIBBONS ON ALL
OF THE LATEST
LINGERIE DESIGNS

VTHOSE whose business it is to think
j up pretty designs in lingerie, ap-
pear to have no mental pictures of
garments in which ribbons are left
out. All the lacy and dainty made
undermuslins shown for spring are
constructed to carry ribbons, not
alone for decoration, but for fastening
and holding the garments in place.
For simple decoration, bows of all
sorts with and without ends of baby
ribbon and of wider ribbons, are made
separately and pinned on with small
safety pins. Narrow ribbon rosettes
and bows are sewed to place with
few easily removed stitches. They
are not supposed to need laundering
as often as the body of the garment
and are therefore removable.
A new design for nlghtgown is
shown here, having yoke made of
alternating rows of Val lace and Swiss
embroidery in narrow insertions. 1t
is set onto the body of the gown with
a band of embroidery. The fulness in

TO GIVE EFFECT TO CLOTHES
So Much Depends on the Carriage of
the Wearer as to Whether She
'.coks Her Best.

l am sure every normal girl wants
to look dainty and pretty, only she
doesn't always know how to go about
it.
First and foremost let her stand
straight.
STOPPING is a habit that one needs
great will power to overcome.
There is dangerous tendency to-
ward STOPPING shoulders in the pres
ent limp picturesque clothes now in
fashion, but don't give way to it.
Indulge in the baggy effects and
Magyar and kimono styles, but don't
stoop.
Simply let them fall into natural,
easy lines.
A crumpled collar, a guimpe that Is
so small that it gapes in the back just
between the hooks, button missing
where it's absence is revealed, 81 plain
pin where there should be little sill
yer or gilt safety pin, all these are ca
lamities when one starts off in a hur-
ry and then is suddenly conscious OF
them.
OF what use is it to have dainty
blouse if you stoop so that it wrinkles
and says, or to have handsome gown
if you stand so badly that its graceful
lines are spoiled.
You've seen the girl who has a gem
erous dress allowance, yet somehow
cannot manage to look well dressed.
We've all seen her. She exists every
where. She wears her clothes badly
in the first place, and she has not the
slightest realization of the value OF
little things which go to make a sue
cessful toilette.
Her ribbons are crumpled, her fril-
lings are soiled, her collar is not neat
ly pinned down in the back, but insists
upon riding up under her coat, so that
it soon loses its pristine freshness

narrow tucks at the front and there
is panel of wide embroidery at each
side set in with embroidery insertion.
The same wide embroidery appears
on the top of the bell sleeves.
The neck and sleeves are finished
with Val edging an inch and a half
wide. A ribbon bow appears on each
sleeve, at the end of each panel and
at the neck. That one at the neck
is made by the ends of ribbon run in
beading to adjust the gown to the
figure.
Nainsook or lawnsdale cambria or
longcloth are the fabrics used for
these gowns. Seams are felled and
as rule laces and insertions stitched
together on the sewing machine.
Gowns made by hand are far more
expensive and in reality are more ele,
giant. But the sewing machine saves
much time and eyesight. Besides, the
finished garment is pretty whether
made by machine or hand.

Wealth In Spitzberuet.

Geological surveys of parts OF the
Spitsbergen show that there are i'm
mense deposits of superior coal In
various places. and interested individ-
uals and companies alike are plan
ming to tap these resources and bring
them upon the highway of information
al trade. Not many years ago Spitz-
bergen was an unknown land and for
many years 1t was resort only for
whalers, shoremen and bandits.
Various scientific expeditions have re-
turned from time to time with valu-
able and interesting information. 1t
IS now apparent that in spite Of the
ice, cold and fog. Spitzbergen Is a
land fraught with many commercial
possibilities. The coal is practically
all on the surface and deep mining
is unnecessary.

Prosperity Communistic.

A man cannot prosper in any honest
business without benefting the com
munity as well as himself. For he
cannot induce men to deal with him
without offering them an advantage;
and. taking all the transactions Of life
together, the advantages which men
offer to others must. on the whole, be
equal to those which they receive
themselves
Doing business, therefore, Is very
effectual and extended mode OF doing
good; and the fortune which is &C.
CURED in doing it is, in a very impor-
tant sense, the measure and index Of
the good done.-Jacob Abbott.

Difference IN VIEW POINT
Cows as Another Does With 40
Tester Was Lacking.

One dairyman produced $4,000 worth
Of milk from 20 cows, or $500 per
COW; neighbor bestowed twice as
much labor on 40 COWS and sold only
$1,000 worth of milk, or $45 Fer cow,
barely paying expenses, while the first
man made a profit of over $1,000.
Yet the second man said he had no
time to spend few minutes each day
weighing and testing the milk from
each COW.
Instead, he spent four long weary
years in raising and harvesting crops
on 160-acre farm and feeding and
milking 40 cows to make as much
profit as his neigkbor did in one year
with half the COWS, half the lands and
half the labor.

On the contrary, new varieties, with
new decorations, are making their ap-

A gay vest of velvet brocaded rib

satin. There is plated girdle OF

waist and holds the little vest in

way, is often worn as an ornament

GOOD RULES FOR W0RKHORsE
Harness Should Be Looked After and
Many Faults Avoided-Give Water
in Moderate Quantities.

Start at walk, and let your horse
work very easily for the first half
hour.
A heavy draft horse should never
be driven faster than a walk, with OF
without load.
Look to your harness. Avoid these
faults especially: Bride too long or
too short. Binders pressing on the
eye Or tapping. Can open bride is
best for most horses) Throat-latch
too tight. Collar too tight or toe
loose, or dirty on the inside. Shaft
girth too loose. Traces too long.
Breeding too low down or too loose,
Inside reins too long, in the case OF
pairs.
Do not let your horse drive him.
self; but handle the reins gently New.
er jerk the reins; to do that is the
sure mark of bad driver
Try to work with as little backing
as possible. Backing a heavy load is
apt to strain the hind legs.
Take the horse out of the shafts as
much as possible; and if you drive a
pair Or four, unfasten the outnide
traces while the horses are standing;
they will rest better that way.
Teach your horses to go into the
collar gradually. When a load IL to
be started, speak to the horses and
take firm hold Of the reins so that
they will arch their necks, keep their
legs under them, and step on their
toes. A loose rein means sprawling
and slipping, often with one horse
ahead of the other.
Water your horse as often as pos.
sible. Water in moderate quantities
will not hurt him, SO long as he keeps
moving.
Blanket your horse carefully when
he stands, especially If he is at all
hot. Repeated slight chills stiffen and
age horse before his time.

gance. Every one likes such furbe-
lows.
The girdle Of wide velvet ribbon
hardly needs description. This one is
finished with a simple, fiower-like
bow. And the more this finishing
bow looks like or suggests big, rich
flower, the more it meets with the ap-
prevail of the lady of fashion. 1t is
worn at the front or near the front of
the bodice The bow takes the place
of those large velvet flowers which
were and are so much liked as q fin
ish to the dress.
Sashes and girdles, 1t seems, are to
reign another season. The styles de-
mand them. If woman excels in the
management of her waist line-she is
sure to be called stylish We are just
learning how important 1t is to give
attention to this detail and how great
ly we may vary the dressing Of the
waist effectively.

The Tricorne.

Three-cornered toques never go
quite out of fashion. They are too be-
coming. Not to all, however. A face
like Jove, an eye like Mars, a nose
like a distant mountain range, do not
go well with the coquettish sugges-
ton of such a form of headgear. 1t
suits saucy face, mutinously def
ant expression such as youth wears in
some of it's gayest moments. The lat

under it and appears in curls all
