 There appears to have been no limit to Ouida's extravagances in regard to dress. She not only had her gowns made by Worth, the great Paris dressmaker of the period, but it is said by those who knew her that she always dressed to fit the heroine she was depicting at the time-white muslin if a peas- ant girl, white satin for a great lady.
 She appears to have treated women ex- cept her few intimate friends with scant courtesy, and could be rude on occasions. She rarely dined out on account of her deli cate health and when she did her hosts found her difficult to deal with. She thought nothing of sulking the whole evening if she met some one whom she did not desire to meet, while, if she felt bored, she would insist on going upstairs to the drawing room before dinner was ended There she would lie on a sofa, ring for the servant. and ask if her car riage had come. and if it had not she re- mained silent on the sofa until its arrival.

not overdone and the gathering and fullness is skilfuly handled and one remembers to
 drape for length of line. Here are several don't that every woman of overmuch flesh should bear in mind: Don't wear plaids. cross stripes, or too wide or too vivid length wise stripes. Don't wear light or vivid colors as they make one look larger. Don't use horizontal trimmings. girdles of q different color, or wide girdles. and avoid materials of big figures even in self-tones or fabrics of high sheen. Don't have tight Things. It will simply push your flesh to some other spot than nature intended it, end 1t will b> more noticeable than before.
 ECONOMICAL: Yes, indeed. can suggest use for half worn nightgowns and pettl- coats. Cut off the tops of the former and shape in the tops to fit loosely coat hanger. Leave a small hole in the center for the hook. hem it neatly and haste to it narrow strip of muslin an inch and half wide to wrap rouis>.' the opening and keep out dust. Provide but tons for the bottom and turn up the one side to button over them. Petticoats may simi- larly be made into short covers for blouses. or can have the rufiie ripped off and the skirt made into an underslip to put over pillow ticking before the case Is donned. The rest of the garments should be carefully washed and put in the patch box for old muslin.

Jane Barton Answers Queries.

YOUNG MOTHER: The first baby dresses and petticoats should not be more than 20 inches long, as the long ones interfere with free movement of the legs and weight so much there is danger to the delicate spine Outing flannel can be used for the petticoats but is not so nice as a wool and cotton mix ture that costs about 40 cents yard. Make the petticoat to muslin waistband that but tons on the shoulders and fits smoothly. Do not have the skirts bunchy or overwIde. One and three-quarter yards will be enough for the skirt.
 ESTHER B. D.: Unless specified in pattern an allowance of three-eighths of an inch should be made for all seams not marked by nerforations. Be careful in cutting to mark your notches exactly and be sure your scis- sors are sharp enough to cut an even seam, as a jagged edge makes 1t harder to haste a straight seam. Mark the place of darts by chalk marks through the perforations or by A. tracing wheel. If your material has not an up and down 1t can be cut economically by doubling it across with the cut ends to- gether. Fit the different parts of the pat tern on for economical cutting and cut two thicknesses at once.
 BESS B.: A stout woman is not made thin ner by facing. If you will but realize it. the present fashions are excellent for the fat if

 The face. neck, and ears should be washed first with clean, soft cloth. and carefully dried. If the scalp is covered with crust. 1t should be rubbed with vaseline or sweet oil several hours before and by washing gently but firmly with soap and water this accumulation will gradually come off
 Before the baby is placed in the tub, the body should be washed with soap and water. careful attention being given to the axilla. groins, and folds of fat.
 When placing the baby in the tub. the left hand should be placed under the shoulders. and the feet grasped with tho right hand. When in the water the body is securely held by the left hand The right hand is left free to complete the bath.
 Usually baby thoroughly enjoys his bath. and will kick and coo just as long as he Is left in the water. When he is taken out he is placed on the pillow and carefully dried with a soft towel The finger and toe nails are trimmed and the nostrils cleaned with a soft roll of absorbent cotton. He is rubbed with talcum powder, and Is ready to be dressed
 Do not wash the baby's mouth. It will do no good and you may injure the membrane. When the baby has teeth, clean them with . soft clean cloth.
 Before the morning bath is given, the baby's bed or basket should be made up fresh and clean and be placed in well ventilated room After the bath the baby should be nursed and put to bed. He will sleep for several hours, and the mother will be left free to do her household duties or to rest

- ' HAT is more pleasing to see than a \A/ clean, smiling happy baby? The w baby who is contented and happy is
 usually the one who Is bathed every day and whose mother has been wise enough to train him to regular daily habits.
 In order that baby may grow and de- velop normally he should be kept sweet and clean all the time. Some mothers do not think 1t is necessary to bathe the baby every day, and instead of a clean soft complexion, the skin chafes easily and dark crust appears on baby's head.
 Every baby should have tub bath once a day, and during the hot summer days he may be given a sponge bath several times to keep him cool and comfortable.
 The best time for babys bath is in the before the feeding hour. The room sh ould be warm and free from drafts. In order that the baby may not be exposed longer than is necessary everything which is needed for his toilet should be ready and within easy reach before he is undressed-plenty of warm wa ter, castle soap, talcum powder, soft wash cloths and towels. and clean clothes.
 A foot tub filled with warm water should be placed conveniently near table. The tenn perature of the bath should be from J0 to 95 degrees. If you have no thermometer practical test for the correct temperature is to use water which feels warm to the elbow
 When everything is ready the baby is placed on pillow, which has been laid on the

 With chords the force is generally spread over the various notes sounded simultane- ously. though greater output of force Is un- doubtedly expended. This is what gives pianists the wonderful strength in their fingers that is often commented upon.
 Chopin's best piece in c minor has pas sage which takes two minutes and five seo- onds to play. The total pressure brought to bear on this, 1t is estimated. is equal to threo full tons.

Many materials, all sheer, are used in any one cotton dress The effect is sometimer good and sometimes bad.
 The fashionable coats all hang as straight from the shoulders as if they were on a coat hanger
 The Roman striped collars and tunics are among the prettiest features of the nev clothes.
 One of the best tailor made models just now is the tunic skirt, cut with broad box plaits
 Shoulder shawls are being crocheted of silk and wool to look like scarfs Tassels finish the ends
 small sunshade with long handle is one of the most graceful parasols of the sea son.

A charming girdle effect on hand made batiste dress was given simply by rows of snirring at the waist line.
 Green, purple, yellow, dark blue, brown, and red are all seen combined with white in the form of checks
 Soft beaver duvetyne and felt hats for sporting wear are made in much pretter shapes than formerly
 Some women wear carved ivory balls strung on Japanese cord with tassels, as a finish to their costumes
 Evening frocks. though they don't look any fuller, really have great deal more material in their makeup.
 Nothing is prettier among the children's hats than the little shady affairs tied with ribbons under the chin.

 eccentricity, but few men and women whose cleverness has made their
 names household words ever gratified
 their curious whims to such an extent as the famous novelist, Ouida." judging from the " Memoir of the novelist by Eliza beth Lee.
 -" Ouida " loved to assume the airs and graces of great lady. She established her self in great villa outside Florence and loved to drive in that city in little victoria lined with oyster gray satin, drawn by chest nut ponies, with bells and punches of pheas- ants feathers stuck in their harness. Later on she drove pair of white ponies and the carriage was lined with white satin.
 Matching in colors was one of the novelist s greatest fads. Her shoes were satin to match her gown, and she wore the same footgear in garden or meadow. She usually made her mother dress in black by way of contrast and liked to receive guests dressed in white satin, seated in a red satin armchair, her

If your material is sheer, such as lawn. batiste. and the like the simplest method is to lay the material over the design
