Simple NeedIeWork.

One of the simpler kinds of needle
work which is popular just now is that
in which the buttonhole stitch is used
for colored scallops or on plain white
linen or on figured linen, cretOnne,
etc. Luncheon sets are made of plain
white, gray or natural linen color ma
terial and trimmed solely with the
scalloped edges worked in buttonhole
in color The scallops are either cut
out or they are simulated with the col
ored thread.
Sometimes crocheted lace in colored
thread is used to trim these sets. The
same decoration is used on Turkish
towels, hand towels, bedroom sets, etc.
Printed crepes are used for boudoir
jackets, bureau covers, ETC. The color
of the flower is used in the thread of
which the buttonhole edges are made.
Cretonne is also used for bureau COW
ers, table covers, wall pockets, etc.

NEW BOUDOIR CAPS DAINTY

Have you noticed the new boudoir

bonnet. Now it has TO be bit Of old
lace or a square Of priceless silk web

cap is merely an excuse for softening
bit of frilliness about the face, for a
few of the newer caps are crownless.

wonderful mechlin lace is tucked back

SECRETS OF THE B0UD0IR
Recommended by Celebrated
Skin Specialist.

While it may be questioned whether
any powder is entirely harmless, a
celebrated skin specialist recommends
this formula for face powder: Rice
-four, six ounces; rice starch, six
ounces; carbonate Of magnesia, three
ounces; pulverized boric acid, one and
a half ounces; powdered orris root,
one and a fourth drains; essence of
citron, IS drops; essence of bergamot,
80 drops. Mingle the essences with
the magnesia and then smoothly rub
all together.
Apply the powder over a light coat
ing of cold cream well massaged into
the skin and put it on generously, so
that it may sink in. Then, before go
ing out, wipe off the superfluous white
with soft cloth. In this way the
powder is kept on and the skin pro-
tected from wind and dust.
Too much flesh on the neck is per-
haps one of the greatest obstacles
to beauty. 1t is almost as bad in ap-
pearance as a scrawny throat and is
much more difficult to remedy. 1t is
a far simpler thing to put on flesh on
a womans throat than to take it off,
for if the tissues are fed with good
grease, such as cocoa butter, the neck
Will soon begin to take on flesh.
To reduce a double chin and to
tighten the muscles which have be-

IN THE BEAUTY SHOP

Stains on the fingers that will not
yield to ordinary methods can be re-
moved by dipping the fingers in perox-
ide of hydrogen.
A healing ointment for rough skin
is made by mixing thoroughly one part
of bismuth to three parts of white
vaseline.
Select a soap that has little alkali
and no coloring in it. The best is
also unscented. Such soap will not,
harm the most delicate skin.
Vaseline will darken and increase
the growth of eyelashes and eye
brows. 1t should be heated a little
and applied with a small camels-hair
brush.
The constant use on the teeth of
powdered charcoal or pumice stone is
injurious, as such powders break the
enamel and the teeth will then quickly
decay

her unspoken denunciations of GAIA

her unspoken sympathy with Blanche
Martha had been perfectly awful about
the whole thing. And Martha had COM
mitted the final outrage of being per-
fectly right, from her idiotic point OF

Now among all these meditations of
long night, and of still longer day,
in which nobody even troubled to send
her word of the case at Kingston, it
would be too much to say that no
thought of Hilton Toye ever entered
the mind of Blanche. She could not
help liking him; he amused her i'm

twice, and warned her he would again.

Smart Hats.

Velvet hats in themselves are rich
looking, but when they are combined
with crepe de chine they are still
richer.
These two materials are working
together very satisfactorily to form
many of the newest hats.
One stunning model has the brim
faced with a delicate pink crepe de
chine. Another one has merely
binding of the crepe along the edge
of the brim.
A pleasing artistic combination is
seen in a hat of tete de negre velvet
faced with a rich yellow crepe. The
trimming of the hat consists of a
crocheted white wool rose. Each Pc
tai of the rose is outlined with yell
low heads and lends quite an individ.

FRAGILE AND DAINTY
FROCK DESIGNED FOR MISSES
AND SMALL WOMEN.
Effective Trimming Employed That
May Quite Easily Be Made at
Home-Gives Opportunity for
Use of Scarf.

Except for some slight difference In
the silhouette one might fancy lovely
Marie Louise, or Queen Hortense trip
ping down the stairs of the Tuileries
in this fetching gown of diaphanous
texture. 1t would be pretty and fash
ionable thing to carry scarf with
the gown. Many women carry scarfs
this season, as they did last. because
we'll they understand the alluring and
Elusive charm of floating scarf drift
ing about shoulders or arms, and Civ
ing faint touch of misty color to the
gown or bare arms and neck. The
scarf, too, is not without its practical
uses, for. thin though it be, silken
meshes convey quite a modicum of
warmth and prevent many girl from
catching cold in draughts after the
dance.
This pattern is designed for misses
and small women, and the air of fairy
like fragility is enhanced by the dainty
trimming of ribbon flowers around the
skirt. This is a very easy trimming
to apply. as these flowers come made
of chiffon, silk, satin and braid, at
tached to a delicate braid or ribbon
foundation, by the yard, and they are
rapidly applied. Of course, girl with
plenty of time can make the flowers
out of bits of materials, as most of
them are very small and of no particu-
lar shape or color. 1t is quite the fad
to use a number of colors in a group
where the blossoms are small.
Over a gown of this sort may be
worn an overskirt, either with or with
out the silver or ribbon-covered hoop
wires that are now in vogue between
the overskirt and skirt. AS is seen,
the bodice is merely a wide draped
girdle over fitted foundation, and the
upper part of the waist may be of tulle
and silver lace or net or chiffon or
any suitable sort of lace. The frilly
sleeves effect on the shoulder is be-
coming to very young girl, but most

looking all over for the photograph of

KNOWN FACTS

The consumption of salt in the Uni

Financially the United States is

Scientists say that the flavor Of
food and drink does not come to US

can only furnish sensations CORE

Of substances taken into the mouth.
Although almost infinite in their vari-

number, comprising sweetness. bitter

their numerous degrees of intensity.

therefore not perceived by the sense

Meteor's Trail PHOTOGRAPHED.

The most remarkable photograph OF
a meteor trail that has yet been taken.
so far as we know, was recently repro
duced in L'Astronomie. The meteor
was seen from many points in South
Africa about 5 p. m. on June 2, 1912,
in broad daylight, and the trail that
it left behind remained visible until
some time after sunset, becoming
more and more conspicuous as the
daylight faded.
The photograph, which shows the
trail as an immense, serpentine ribbon
in the western sky, was taken at
Temple, Orange Free State, about an
hour after the passage of the meteor
with a court train

These once popular aprons have
served to inspire pinafore frock seen

Lightweight worsted materials, of
both plain and checked weaves. were
combined in the making of this attrac-

the blue tand white checked material,
had shoulder straps and pockets in
true apron fashion. The foundation
was of plain, dark blue, with chemt

The dress was smart and equally
well suited in design to a miss of six
or the highschool girl OF sixteen.
