FILLET LACE AND CHIFFON.
These In Combination Make Very At
tractive Frocks.

Thin gowns, such as are worn for the
afternoon tea or garden party, are ut
their prettiest when of tillet net and
chiffon. Many women prefer a COM
bination Of eyelet linen and fillet lace
because it wears better and longer.
Two or three colors are often combined
in the sash ribbons. A whole color
poem is sometimes written in the way
they are put together.
Dance frocks in the new fashions are
absolutely fascinating. Adorable bal
let-like skirts are sometimes Of shirred
or ruftled faille or taffeta, sometimes OF
yards Of chiffon or net over Il more
scant foundation.
There seems to be no settled place
for the waist line in these dresses. 1t
Is placed where it is most becoming
up under the rms in a basque or in
girdles that lengthen the waist line.
Pure white lace is seldom seen in
dance frocks. Fine ivory tones, ecru
meshes touched up with gold or fine
silver embroideries on cream or ivory
embroidered nets add greatly to the
elegance Of the gown.

Fashions and the Household
STREAKED WALLS.
Cold Surfaces Always Catch More Dust
Than Hot Ones.


The reason that lath and plaster
walls become streaked is explained by
John Aitken, in Nature, as due to the
tendency Of hot air to deposit its dust
Oh cold surfaces, and the colder the
surface the weaker the power of re-
%sistance. So where the laths protect
the plaster from the cold outside the
plaster receives less deposit Of dust
than where it is between the laths.
Wherever a hot steam or water pipe
ONE through n wall q vertical streak
Of dust may be seen above it, due to
the hot air driving the dust against the
cold wall. Rooms that are heated by
open CRATES are much less dusty than
those heated by radiators because in
the former the furniture is heated
principally by radiation, and. being
warmer than the air, it repels the par
ticles Of dust instead Of catching them,
while in the latter the air heats the
furniture and in so doing deposits its
dust on it.
Rooms lighted by electricity keep
clean longer than those heated by gas
simply because the light is almost cold.
Mr.. Aitken sums ii up as follows:
"Any surface hotter than the air keeps
free from dust"

Arabs and Girl Babies.

1t is a sad day in an Arab home
when a girl is born. The musicians
who have come to the house with their
drums, their shepherds pipes and all
their strange musical Instruments
burst into wild wailing if the door is
seer to open slowly and a head shake
silently and sadly and then withdraw
behind the closed door. All the rare
food which has been prepared in the
hopes that the new arrival is a boy Is
put away and the wailing guests turn
ed from the house. For why, they say,
should one feast and have music when
another superf1uous woman has been
brought unto the world? Though hui
man nature is what it is, the little
girl is not wholly unloved. She is
given some pretty name, such as, trans

by the son are recited.-Exchange.

England's Army Rifle.

Quite a number Of people believe
that cartridges are served out to the
soldiers separated from me another.
Cartridges are, however, usually given
out fastened together in clips Of five.
The modern rifle used by the British
army is known as a magazine rifle
and holds two clips or ten cartridges in
the magazine itself as we'll as an eX-
ira cartridge above the magazine, elev-
en- rounds in all.
When the cartridge clip is forced into
the magazine the fastening is removed,
so that each cartridge when it reaches
the magazine is separate from the 9th
erS.
The magazine of the army rifle Is
nothing more than a detachable box
containing Il spring. This spring
forces up one cartridge at Il time into
its position ready for firing. AS a rule
the ten cartridges in the magazine are
only used in great emergency, as when
the order for rapid firing is given to
stop an enemy's charge. In the ordi-
nary way the magazine, with its ten
cartridges, is shut off from the rest of
the rifle by mea of a metal slide call

Feathered Creature Is Mentioned.
To play the game of flying well it is
necessary that there should be a good
talker In the company, who will find op-
portunity for his gift of e%loQuence.
Simple as the game may. appear to be,
it IS usually quite a success.
Each one in the party wishing to
take part must place the right hand
upon the left arm. The leader then
tells his friends that in the story he in
tends to tell them, whenever he mon

right hand is to be raised and futtered
in the air in imitation Of flying of a
that cannot fly the hands are not to
move OF course the leader will do his
best to trap them into raising the
hands when other animals than flying
ones are mentioned, in order to col
lect a good number Of forfeits. All be-
ing in readiness, he will begin in a style
something like this:
zone lovely morning in June l sailed
out to take the air. The h~oneysuckle
and roses We're shedding a delightful
perfume, the butterflies and bees We're
fitting from flower to flower, the
'cuckoo's' note resounded through the
groves, and the 'lark's' sweet trill was

Thus the game is carried on until as
many forfeits as seem desirable are
collected. 1t is advisable to change the
speaker with every third or fourth for

their backs toward me, moving away.

that ] have mentioned and was en-
amorel of the girl who had Knocked a
bird and laughed. l fanciedN her the
embodiment Of feminine mischief; her
smile between dimples was doubtless
expressive Of that melodious laugh,
and her eyes laughed as we'll as her
lips and her voice.
Had l been a trifle less fanciful and
more practical l would have arisen
and hurried after the girls to get a
view Of the one who had bewitched

to the situation it was too late. l went
after them, but the park was full Of

A few evenings later I was attending
a reception at the White House. 1

conservatory with a married lady to

until the year s13. 1t was not until
the fifteenth century that the Arabic
numerals came into general use in
Europe, and, like all innovations, it
was resisted. Another strange thing
is that while the 1, B., 5, 6, 8, 8 and 0
are about the same now as in the thir-
teenth century, the 9 and Z have under
gone great changes. The 2 looked like
Il crooked Z, the Z like an inverted \,

Substitute For Butter.

Olive oil as a substitute for butter Is
responsible for the delicious flavor OF
many French and Italian dishes. The
American housewife who experiments
with oil rs a butter substitute in cook
ing finds that it has many advantages.
It does not burn as quickly as butter
and therefore does not require so care
full watching. 1t also lends a rich fla
vor which cannot be secured in any
other way.

The Game Of Totem.

This requires five or six players, al
though more may play. \ top is made
square in shape and one of the four
letters, L L \ \ is put on each of the
four sides of the top. These signify
respectively; Il, put one down; I, take
one; n, nothing and A, all. Each
player is given six counters, which
may be beans, buttons, toothpicks or
what you will. The IL starting the
game puts down II counter and
twirls the top. If the top stops with
the letter Il on top, he takes that ono;
If at the letter y he gets nothing, if
at A, all, but when L is turned, each
player puts down one. The rest OF the
players in rotation proceed as the first
one. The player who gets all the
counters wins. Should the counters al
get on the table together the player
proceeding in the usual manncr) who
first turns \ wins.

For Tender Feet.

Carbolated vaseline, we'll rubbed into
the skin, is said to be excellent for
frostbites.
Where the skin is broken zinc oxide
Is sometimes very healing.
White cotton stockings should be
drawn IN the feet, when any cream is
used.
Massage after a warm foot bath
helps to stimulate the circulation
where there is a p%roneness to cold feet
and is a preventive of frostbite.
A little salt added to the foot bath
will harden too delicate skin.

Religious Work

Revival In New York Without Sunday.
To take advantage of an atmosphere
favorable to the churches, which has
been communicated to New York
through press and pulpit accounts Of
Billy Sundays big r%evivals in other
cities, a meeting of ministers and lay
mon for the purpose of starting a re-
vival campaign was held at the Park
Avenue Presbyterian church, New York
city.
The Rev. Charles W. WEIGH, pastor
of the church, who was a member of
the committee of invitation which urg-
ed Sunday to come to New York, said
that the evangelist was tied down by
engagements elsewhere until 1917 and
that there was no chance to bring him
there for any length of time before then.
After the meeting he said that a re-
vival was greatly needed to retain the
religious enthusiasm which had run
through the city like an electric cur
rent through spiritual contact with Billy
Sunday, ever though he had not been
able to visit New York.
Other Of the ministers who prayed
for the success of the projected revival
petitioned that the increase in religious
feeling which had been noticeable re-
Gently in all churches in the city should
not be permitted to ebb away through,
the neglect Of clergymen to do their
part.
"As ministers We are too lazy" the
Rev. James G. Chalmers Of the Holy
Trinity Presbyterian church said in his
prayer. I'VE don't progress enough.
We give too much time toward the per
fection Of institutionalism. We allow
our attention to be taken up too much
with the things of today and forget the
sacred things which we are ordained
to support. If we prayed together
more and worked together more the
results of our work would be greater.
and there is no time like the present,
because this city was never in a better
mood than it is today for a great re-
vival of religion"
The Rev. Mr.. WEIGH said that in or
uef W Ildke Il complete success OF the
revival movement it would be neces-
sary to enlist wide cooperation.
"Clergymen and laymen representing
many Of the bodies of Professionalism
are here today" he said. "But we
need more than that. We want the
Roman Catholics md Jews to join in
this movement with us. No revival
will be complete without their partici-
patton, and they are in the same boat
with us in their need Of an increase in
the religious spirit"
DR.. John Henry Jowett of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian church agreed
that religious enthusiasm was increas
ing and that there was an opportunity
for 4 revival. He advocated that IL
should be permitted to come on natl.
rally and that it should not be forced
by an elaborate machinery of meetings
which might interfere with its spon-
taneous growth.
Plans are being laid for a campaign
lasting until Billy Sunday comes in
1917 for the browning day of the re-
yiyal.

SLEEVE STYLES.
Long, Close and Tubular Are the New

Sleeves have been debatable ground
since midwinter. Everything seemed
to be long and close or tubular, and
yet reason indicated that the warm
seaso would bring shorter sleeves. and
students of fashion waited with con-
siderable interest to see what Paris
would have to say upon the subject.
Well, Paris has had many things to
say. so many that we are almost where
we We're before. saw that we can be
eclectic with Il clear conscience and
that we have had helpful suggestions
for almost any and every type Of
sleeve.
To take the newer lines first. many
of the French designers have shown Il
liking for bell sleeve lines. Elbow
sleeves. three-quarter sleeves. very
short sleeves, oversleeves, all r
