entire width IS needed for the front. and this method of placing the pieces is the most economical As the bow. however, is longer than forty-four inches, it must be pieced and the small oblong piece is the end which has been cut off at the point indicated by the dotted line. The fronts require the full width of the goods. Therefore. before placing the pattern on the ma terial, it should be opened out if it is folded and the fold pressed out, then the material folded crosswise and the front pinned into place with the sleeve as already mentioned Then each piece of the goods will be doubled and the two sides of the garment cut at one time. The chemisette and cuff are shown in smaller diagram.
 If the shorter sleeves are wanted and the sash with only knotted ends. the pattern of the sleeve should be cut off on the crossline of perforations. and the bow omitted and each front e cut fourteen inches longer than the pattern. To do this. place the sleeve on the material folded lengtlwise in the place now filled by the bow and fold the piece for the fronts to allow an added length of fourteen inches on thc extension.

In this lesson we will talk about an extremely attractive model. the fronts of which form a sash at the back. It can be made of the same material as the skirt if that material is light enough to drape prettily. or it can be made of crepe de chine, charmeuse satin. chiffon velvet or other similar material. to be worn over skirt ot something heavier, such as broad cloth or gabardine, or, it can be made of silk over velvet.

ton that engages the attention of
other girls and inspires the wonder

does she get on a tiny turban over the
mass of fluffy hair which crowned her
head aforetime? Where has said hair
disappeared? How does she take on,
with the foolish little turban, a no

exactly but makes one look twice to
be sure of her identity? Some of these
questions can be answered and some
cannot, because the maid herself hard

No one fails to appreciate the charm
of the lace-trimmed and fluffy night
dresses that make up the mass of
these garments. Always their pro-
ducers are presenting new designs
that captivate the eye with the dainty
combination of ribbons and laces.
But there is another charm which be-
longs to the hand-embroidered gown
it is the charm Of elegance as well as
beauty. There is nothing quite equal
to find hand embroidery in expressing
a refinement of taste, in undergar-
ments and other lingerie.
The needlewoman who can do fine
work can provide herself with lingerie
lit for queen by virtue of her needle
craft. Or il she wishes to turn her
accomplishment to profit she may be
sure that an appreciatiye world is

needlework. No one should put a low
price on irst-class hand embroidery

HAD THE LAUGH ON HIMSELF

the American Surgical Trade associa-
ton, said at the f1ftieth annual con-
yention in New York:
The war has kited the price OF car
bolic acid up TO S1.65 q pound-it sold
before the war at cents a pound. The
hospitals that use carbolic acid now
have to be as economical and sparing
as old Josh Lee.
Old Josh Lee was q miser. and he
breakfasted every morning on oat-
meal To save fuel he cooked his
weeks supply OF oatmeal on Sundays
This supply, by the time Saturday
came around, was pretty sti1 and
tough and hard to down.
"One Saturday morning old Josh
found his oatmeal particularly unap-
petizing It had a crust on it like
iron He took a mouthful of the cold,
st1n mixture-then he half rose, think
ing he'd have to cook himself some
eggs.
But he hated to give in. He hated
to waste that oatmeal So he took
out the whisky bottle, poured a gen.
erous glass and setting it before his
plate, he said:
g Now, Josh, if you eat that oatmeal
you'll get this whisky; and if you
don't you won't
''The oatmeal was hard to consume.
but Josh, with his eye on the whisky,
managed it. Then, when the last
spoonful was gone, he grinned broad

ECONOMICAL FEED FOR EWES
Circular Issued by Missouri Expert
ment Station Gives Results OBJ
tanned With Rye and Grain.

The feeding OF ewes sucking lambs
Is a factor which materially affects
the profit derived from the produc-
ton of spring lambs. A circular just
issued by the agricultural experiment
station at the University of Missouri
reports the work done with ewes
sucking lambs, fed on rye and blue
grass pastures. Ewes were placed in
four lots. In one lot ewes received
grain on rye pasture. Those in an
other lot received only rye pasture
In third lot the ewes were fed grain
on blue grass pasture, while those in
lot four received only blue grass pas
ture.
The grain for both ewes and lambs
consisted of equal parts of crushed
corn, oats, bran and rape The re-
suits show that the feeding of grain
to ewes on rye and blue grass pasture
was not profitable, if the ewes were
to be kept. If the ewes were to be
marketed with the lambs, the feeding
of grain would have been prof1tab BILE,
because the ewes which did not re-
ceive grain became very thin and
were not in condition to sell on the
market, while those receiving grain
maintained about the same condition
of flesh throughout the experiment.
There was little difference in the
efficiency of rye and blue grass pas
lures for ewes sucking lambs. In
cases where grain was fed, the ewes
on blue grass had decidedly the ad-
vantage, while in the other two lots
in which no grain was fed the rye
had the advantage. The difference in
each case was small. Rye will come
a little earlier in the spring than blue
grass, but will not afford as good a
pasture in June as blue grass, because
the rye heads and the sheep do not
like coarse, woody stems.

the face by pinning locks of it at each
side to form what are called water
waves" One way Of doing this is to
dampen the hair and comb it back. A
band is then bound tightly about the
head and the hair pulled forward in
curves by means of the toilet comb.
The waves are then pinned with small
wire pins in the position left by the
comb.
The back hair may be arranged in a
psyche knot, as shown in the picture,
or in three fat coils across the back
Of the head. Or it may be worn in a
high coil at the top of the head. In
any case the band is not taken on
until the hairdress is finished
Narrow velvet bands about the hair
are very fashionable, and they are
also very useful in holding the hair in
place.

SAFE AND SURE FOR HORSES
Barbados AIoes, Four to Seven
DRAINS, Makes Good PurgatiVe-
Castor Oil Is Uncertain.

In preparing a purge dose for a
horse the medicine that is safest and
surest is aloes; and only Barbados
aloes should be used, not the Cape
aloes. A dose will generally vary from
four to seven drains. Linseed oil
is safe purgative. but it is uncer-
tain. The dose varies from a pound to
a pound and a half
Castor oil is both uncertain and un-
safe as horse remedy, though it is
hne for man. Croton in the form of
meal, made into a ball with linseed
meal, is a good purge. Doses vary
from scruple to half a dram.
