Economy Of The Spring Styles.

The skirt Of the spring troubles all eco
nomically minded women who have old
frocks that they wish to wear this sum-
mer For the narrow skirt of last sum-
mer is only with difficulty converted into
the wide skirt Of this summer. At least
that seems to be the condition on first
sight In reality there are several ways,
not too difficult. of making the last
years skirt serve for this year.
The skirt that had a narrow founda-
ton and a wide tunic can be adjusted
in this way: Rip out the foundation and
form It into a continuation of the tunic-
flaring. of course. Then join the two
parts together, either with a band Of en-
broidery or-if the skirt was Of silk-of
contrasting silk, or else lap the hem Of
the tunic over the lower section in the
manner of tuck.
One of last summers skirts that was
made rather deliberately. and is therefore.
when ripped. In many small pieces. pre-
sents harder task. Usually second
material can be combined with it-for
instance, a plain crepe with figured
crepe, plain and figured wolfe. batiste with
embroidered flouncings. With this ad-
ditional material skirt with flounces.
wide or narrow, as the old material die
tates, can be made Or a. deep hem Of
the old material can be put on a full
skirt of the new material. Or. perhaps. a
yoke of either old or new can be used
a deep yoke. reaching we'll over the hips.
So much for the skirt. The bodice Is
easier to manage. To begin with, al
though the sleeves of this season are gen.
orally cut separately and set into the
armholes. the kimono sleeve does not look
old fashioned: and the low neckline Of
last summer still prevails. So>with
new collar or neck finish of some kind
last years bodice will usually do.
One way to disguise an old frock, or to
cover worn or faded spots. is to make
use of the style for bolero jackets. Most
of the paper pattern companies have sew
eral admirable bolero patterns. They can
be made in contra sting fabrics and colors.
And then there are many sorts of Jumpers
and laced girdlcs that provide just the
necessary addition to a last years bodice
to make 1t wearable this year.
There are patterns for suspenders. yokes
and founces. too. made for the special

LET'S Hear from You.

Every reader of the Womans Herald
has something interesting to say on some
one of the many vital questions that
women are talking about. If you would
but speak truthfully you could tell us
things from your own experience that
would make us sit up and listen. and
that would help in throwing light on
these questions that fascinate us ana
sometimes perplex us. Just because you
are a little different from any one else.
and because your experiences have been
a little different from those Of any other
woman you could add little light on
these all-absorbing questions
And now we are going to start an open
forum on the page of the Woman
Herald lust SO that we can have room
TO express some of these interesting opin-
ion. and judgments of our readers. Are
wonen's clubs bane or blessing. are
they a curse or cure-all? Do girls of
the present day overdress? Should a
wage-earning girl give up work after
marriage? Should the married woman
teach school? These and many other
questions have been suggested for de-
bate by readers who have suggested
the establishment of a woman's forum
on this page. This weeks subject for
debate will be the much mooted ques-
ton of the woman's club. Let's hear
from YOU If you have found that clubs
have helped you and diverted you. tell
US why; if you feel that clubs and club
life is harmful to women. let's hear
from YOU. too.

A Twenty-cent Dinner.

In the May Womans Home Companion
Ida NJ. TarbelI, writing an article en-
titled THE Twenty-cent Dinner" tells
the story of young working girl
in Chicago who attempted to take
her own life. When asked by the
doctor for an explanation of her act
she said: Doctor. did YOU ever cat
2o-cent dinners" This story was
widely quoted as an argument for
various schemes looking to higher
wages. better working conditions.
and SO on. Miss Tarbell goes on in
part, as follows:
"A little figuring on wages and in
comes will show that half. and more.
Of its people never had and never
will have dinners that cost even 20
cents.
Take your man on n thousand dol
lars year-and thousand dollars
is a handsome wage as things are in
the world-what can he pay for the
dinner of himself and his wife and
his three children? Studies of buc-
gets of wage earners show that in
this country from 40 to 45 per cent
Of incomes averaging $1,000 to $1,000
a year must go for food. Put it all at
IS per cent, or s450-s90 a year per
person, or rs cents a day. Evidently
there will be few 2o-cent dinners
eaten in that household. yet there
will be thousands of such homes
where there is health. gayety. and
thanksgiving.
Moreover. il you study the condi-
tions under which much of the most
brilliant work of the world has been
carried on you will find that the
20-cent dinner was often the feast
for holidays"

anyone transform the faded petals popour

or course you hate to see the roses
fade-especially when they have been
gifts from friends. or souvenirs Of gala
occasions But if you are planning a
rose jar you need feel none of this vain
regret. For as soon as the roses have
faded they are ready for the first stage
of their transformation into pot pourri.
All tine petals should be carefully plucked
from the heads. if possible leaving the
buds intact as the clustering petals of
the buds add greatly to the appearance
of the dried leaves. The first thing to
do is to cure the leaves. which should
be done by spreading the leaves thickly
on large papers and sprinkling salt over
them.
Turn each day until thoroughly dry:
sometimes this requires two weeks; then
work them with the hands. rolling to
loosen the salt. which gradually works

rose leaves for a jar:
To one-quarter bushel rose leaves add
one-quarter pound stick cinnamon. one
quarter pound whole cloves. one-quarter
pound allspice. one-quarter pound Ton

one-quarter ounce oil of rose seranium,
one-quarter ounce oil of sandalwood, one
quarter ounce of altar of roses The
last named ingredient is nice but ex

large pan for mixing, but half full of
leaves; add each article separately and
mix in well. Use toilet water a few
drops at time. while mixing, and be
sure not to have leaves damp or they
will mildew. All of the liquids NAV not
be necessary: put in oils last, a few
drops at time: mix well.

is hardly an interest which is not rep

all sorts of opinions expressed as to the
value of women's clubs. Some 60 SO far

their households for many hours a day.
