HER MOTHER-IN-LAW
Proved a Wise, Good Friend.

A young woman out In Ia fcEnd
wise, good friend in her mother-in-law,
jokes notwithstanding. She writes:
Il was greatly troubled with my
stomach, complexion was blotchy and
yellow. After meals / often suffered
sharp pains and would have to lie
down. My mother often told me it
was the coffee / drank at meals. But
when I'd quit coffee I'd have severe
headache.
While visiting my mother-in-law r
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me it was
easy to make good coffee when you
use Postum.
II began to use Postum as soon as
got home, and now we have the same
good coffee (Postum) every day, and
have no more trouble Indigestion
is thing Of the past, and my COM
plexion has cleared up beautifully.
my grandmother suffered a great
deal with her stomach Her doctor
told her to leave off coffee. She then.
"She finally was induced to try Post
UNI which she has used for over
year. She travelled during the winter
over the greater part of Iowa, visiting,
something she had not been able to
do for years. She says she owes her
present good health to Postum"

THREE TYPES OF COLLARS
Wearer May Make Choice of One
That is the Most Becoming to
Her Style.

Three sorts of collars lead at pres
emit. One of them is the familiar
oriental collar, which falls away from
the shoulders and may be put on
either as a straight piece or with
shirring. So loose is it that with it
must always be worn closely-htted
inner collar and, with some blouses or
gowns, chemisette as well.
The Medici collar, friend Of the thin,
throated woman, is second on the list
of fashionable collars and may be
made as tall and as wide spreading as
the individual wearer decides to have
it. 1t is most picturesque when it
stops just in front of the ears, and it
is most becoming in transparent ma
terials.
Normandy collars are the rage
among neckwear models and very
smart they are on tailored frocks,
biouses and waistcoats. The Nor
mandy" is s high standing affair hav-

IN THE LATEST MODEL
FASHIONABLE EFFECTS THAT
MAY BE CALLED IMPERATIVE.
Plain Heavy Linen for Household Use
or for the Hot Weather White
Frocks Seemingly Never Will
Go Out of Favor.

Plain heavy linen makes very at
tractive table cloths and napkins. 1t
is used in restaurant where the fur
nishings are all interesting, and it is
used by some fastidiors housewives.
In the restaurant referred to it is quite
satisfactory, for the cloth is changed,
naturally, for every diner. But in the
ordinary household it has this one dis
advantage: 1t does show wrinkles and
ured damask does. So if there is not
fresh cloth for every meal, camask
may be better choice
But the linen is beautiful, and in any
household it might be used for a spe-
cial dinner set. The napkins and table
cloths for every meal-damask-
be like the ordinary napkin hem, fine
ly done by hand, or else they are hem
stitched III an inch-wide hem.
With the coming of warm weather
all-white frocks always assume an i'm
portance which they lose in the cold
weather. In warm weather nothing
else can really equal the all-white
frock for day or evening wear. Moth
ing else looks SO cool and fresh and
inviting. The present fad for gay
girdles makes the all-white frock
doubly interesting, for the brightest
sort Of girdle does not seem garish
when it is worn with such a frock, and
it adds dashing note that the white
itself lacks.
Colored braid is popular trimming
in use on many of the spring suits.
Usually braid of the color of the
suit is used, but sometimes braid in
dark blue or black or green is used.
Braid sashes are one of the notes for
the spring. They are generally formed
Of two strips of braid stitched together
lengthwise to form a girdle or sash
five or six inches long. They are made
Of braid woven in various com bina-
tons Of deep red. dark blue and green
and black.
Leather belts are used now and
again, in all seasons, whether they are
widely used or not. And they are al
ways effective. There is something
smart about them that woven fabrics
lack. Probably with this idea in mind,
the Paris dressmakers are using
leather trimmings on many of their
new models. Leather waistcoats,
leather collars and cuffs and bands of
leather which are used like braid or
ribbon for trimming, are all shown. A
suede finish is the most popular
Some of the newest white and tan
dOeskin gloves show three rows of
black or dark-brown stitching on the
back. This dark stitching adds a smart
feature to the gloves
The cape seems to be here to remain
for some time. One of it's interesting
manifestations is as a separate coat
with a skirt to match In this guise
it appears attached to a waistcoat that
buttons snugly. Sometimes the cape
and vest or waistcoat are of the same
color and material, and sometimes
both colors and fabrics contrast.

HOW TO MAKE SMALL SEAMS
Method of Dealing With Sheer Ma
teraIs That Is Recommended

With sheer materials in vogue small
seams are imperative, and some peo-
pie have difficulty in making them.
Try this way:
Cut the material very smoothly and
evenly. Hold the edges together and
overcast them closely to the end. Turn
them over, crease down to make them
fiat, then sew in the regular French,
or double, seam fashion as close to
the edge as possible, thus producing
the smallest, neatest seam imaginable
Always use fine thread and fine
needle for the second scanning to OBJ
tain best results.
When any very soft sheer material
must be stitched on the machine, if it
is not properly adjusted for the pur-
pose, it is likely to quicker and cause
no end of annoyance. You will have
no difficulty if you will cut strips of
thin manila wrapping paper or tissue
paper, put it, under the material and
then proceed with the sewing.

Plaid Taffeta Waistcoats

Always when new fabric or de-
sign comes into fashion there is much
experimenting with it on the part of
dressmakers and designers. This has
naturally been the case in the plaids
and stripes that have become popular
this spring. The decision that every
one has reached concerning them is
that they are better used in small
than in large quantities. One of the
best uses of plaid taffetas is in the
form of waistcoats, as a part of fine
blouses of white mousseline, crepe de
chine and chiffon.

Terrible to Contemplate.

A distinguished member of the Eng
Iish bar was once sojourning at farm
in the west of Scotland. One morn
ing the farmer asked him to go out
bits, which were very plentiful. The
learned lawyer went, and he blazed
away for a whole afternoon, but with
out smuggling the hair of a rabbit. The
farmer and the would-be sportsman
returned home, the former silent and
disappointed.
"Mr. s." he exclaimed, clapping
his companion on the back, "supposin'
ane o. the rabbits had turned on ye,
what wud We haze dune?''

Pockets in the Trunk Lining.

The practise of lining trunk with
some seryiceable fabric, which can be
pasted or glued, will preserve the
trunk Before fastening the fabric in
place stitch long stout pockets along
the length of the material, stitching
on the machine several times to insure
good wear. These pockets are invalu-
able for putting away the daintier and
more valuable part of ones wardrobe.
These pockets can be fitted here and
there with the patent snapper which
keeps them securely closed.

other toilet articles. For those who
have had this convenience nothing
can take it's place.
When washing Bingham dresses
there are four things to remember:
Avoid hot water, strong soap, hard
rubbing and hot starch A little salt
added to the water will brighten the
colors. Delicate fabrics not much
soiled should be washed in thin starch
water.
An excellent thing for insomnia is
buttered cracker sprinkled gener-
ously with cayenne pepper. The hot
sandwich will draw the blood from
the brain to the stomach and sleep

Two strong tapes sewed to the
sides Of mattress will be a great
help in turning and lifting it.
An old whisk broom is good dish
washer for kettles and pans, and it is
easily kept clean by scalding in boil
ing water.
To save splitting shortcake put a
layer of the biscuit mixture in a pan,
butter the top and lay on another

the shortcake will be easily separated

Asparagus Cream Soup.-Boil the

bread crumbs seasoned with salt, pep
per, onion, butter and sage. Roll up
the steak and tie or skewer with
toothpicks Place In a casserole, add
a cupful of stock or water and bake

sweeter and have a different flavor
from those which are boiled. Wash
and place them in a saucepan and

Deep Blue Fashionable.

The very deep shades of blue are
fashionable not only for the street
but in the evening. In fact, the night
and indigo blues threaten to GUST
black for the quieter sort of dinner
and theater costumes. IN transparent
materials-those favored for the late
spring and summer-pastel blues and
green's will be very good, indeed, and
there is a smoky tone of gray that
is pronounced charming by women
who have hitherto favored steel and
slate shades.

Violet Perfume.

1t is fortunate that it takes only
about three drops of essence Of violet
to scent bottle of perfume, since one
drop of the essence means the sacrifice

This pure perfume is of course
blended with chemicals to strengthen
the odor, but even then it is possible
to distinguish the real violet perfume
