A Pretty Petticoat.

Every woman knows that most pet
ticoats have to be altered, that nine out
of ten never At perfectly and that the
drawstrings make punches of gathers
that defy the dressmakers. One can
make very nice silk petticoats by buy
ing wide silk ribbon, stitching it plain
ly one row after another, with lace
between the rows. and sewing this
fiounce to the edge of silk undervest.
The vest will At the form as snugly
as glove does the hand. The ex-
treme edge comes below the hips, SO
that it does not take many yards OF
lace to furnish the f1ounce trimmings
The number of yards of ribbon must
be reckoned according to ribbon and
lace widths. Some women reverse the
old way of hanging petticoat. They
fasten the loops under the lower ruffle
and hang the garment upside down
The petticoat is not pulled out of shape
after hanging in this manner. Winter
petticoats Of silk on both sides. quilted
over fleece, made on hip-length yokes
are used when travelling. automobiling
or skating. They are light and warm.

NOVEL PLACE CARDS.

Even at the most formal of dinner
parties many Of the hostesses Of today
use place cards as an additional deco
| ration for their tables. Especially in
teresting are these cards. if. as is fre-
ouently the case, the hostess herself
has designed them. Perhaps they are
water colors, perhaps pen and ink, and
not gems of artistic worth at that, but
they may have the quality Of being
applicable in a humorous way. and the
fact that they were done by the
hostess makes them Interesting to her
guests.
Many women use, year in and year
out, their embossed dinner cards, either
with merely a monogram or with the
family crest or the name OF the fam
fly home in one corner or at the top,
but a card more pertinently suited TO
the occasion shows q greater personal
interest on the part of the hostess In
her guests.
1t is an art successfully piled among
some Of the younger students-tne oe
signing OF dim dinner faasn years n9 old has
acquired a clientele of considerable
worth for her dainty water colors She
made in the beginning few OF orlgl-
ket in one Of the department stores.
Since then she has had regular orders
for them, and at this time of the year
she cannot conjure up ideas enough to
supply the demand.
For game dinners at the country club
or in the out-of-town houses there are
unique cards done in water colors after
some of the we'll known paintings OF
the hunt or the chase.
Little pen and ink sketches Of the
guest himself are a favorite idea of one
hostess, who is fortunate enough to
possess a young friend who Is an art
ist with the knack of taking a snap
shot sketch either from a glimpse ct
the guest or from photograph This
form of card causes much amuse-
ment and merrfment.
For the children there are quantities
of pretty and interesting place cards.
and there is nothing which provokes
good cheer and sociability so quickly
at tableful of young folks as name
cards on which are good conundrums.
Each guest reads his conundrur to
the others and they all try to guess the
answer. The question is written on the
reverse side of the card and only the
child's name appears on the front: An
other form of place cards for children
is a line from a well known poem or
a quotation. Usually there is some

When Fat Is Right.

More good doughnuts have been made
tough and hard. more delectable cro-
quettes have been cooked to pieces,
more French fried potatoes have been
rendered either soggy or else scorched
by fat at the wrong temperature when
these various dainties were cooked
than most cooks care to think of. Fat
should always be tested carefully be-
fore anything of value is intrusted to
its seething depths.
Here is a simple test: Cut cube of
bread an inch square and drop 1t into
the fat when 1t Is hot. II 1t browns to
a golden shade in a minute the fat is
hot enough to cook uncooked food
French fried potatoes. liver and bacon.

is hot enough for cooked food-rice
croquettes, cooked meat croquettes and

NEW HIGH COLLARS.

Doubtless the high collar is here.
There are many opennecked frocks
still to be found. and many Of the
smart new imported things have col
larless bodices. But the high collar is
in the majority, and each week finds it
more worn than it was the week be-
| fore.
What is the new, high collar: 1t is a
dozen different things. In some in
stances it looks as if it were left over
from the previous reign of high col
lars Sometimes it takes on totally
new lines. So far. fortunately. there
is much white about it, and it is usu-
ally guiltless of boning.
One form of the new high collar that
suggests the old is made of organdy. 1t
is tucked a little, and fastens in the
back. About the lower part is a folded
which is arranged in little bow in
the front. Cant you see just such
collar-in your minds eye, Of course
in use several years ago:
There is a collar Of pique or of white
heavy corded silk, with tiaring point $
under the ear, and this, too, is finished
with a band of black at the bottom.
Some lingerie frocks are worn over
guimpes with long, tight sleeves and
high collars. The guimpes, too, are
made of lingerie-of organdy and va
lenciennes insertion sometimes.
Then there is the net collar; This
has many forms. Sometimes it is a
doubled piece of net, frilled. and fin
ished with a band of velvet ribbon over
the shirring. Sometimes 1t Is high.
shaped up in points at the side and
back and embroidered.
Many frocks have a low standing
collar, above which shows line OF
white-organdy. net, chiffon or silk
Sometimes this saving white line takes
the form of a fold, sometimes of
rather wide frill.
Pretty collars to wear with serge or
satin frocks are made of striped cord
ed silk-white ground, with green and
red and yellow stripes. These give a
really good touch of color to dark
and somber frock
One pretty collar is made of a double
frill Of tulle, one frill going UP around
the chin and hair. the other down
toward the chest and shoulders, with a
band of velvet ribbon fastened through
|the center and tied in a long -ended
Fbow on the left side.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

Among the novel tendencies which ap-
pear in the choice Of styles offered to the
smart woman are an extensive variety of
skirts. or, to be more explicit, an extensive
variety Of full skirts. They will continue
to put note of fantasy in the toilets.
The plain ones are either circular, killed,
or shirred. while others show a succession
Of short rufaes. pleated, gathered, seal
loped or plain, in materials that match
or do not match the dress. Then. too
| there is a craze for the full tunic at.
tached to a hip yoke. Where there Is
such a wide choice. monotony is not ex-
pected to figure.
Tho silhouette is entirely transformed
from that Of last year. which gave an un-
deniable appearance Of skimpiness. This
marked change Is comprehensively ex-
pressed in the illustrated suit design.
1t Is carried out in bisque-colored ratine
with touches of light fur and black trim
mings.
The Jacket is especially modish. with
its short-waisted top and flaring hip

To Mend Linen,

Linen. if It is not too fine, is most
successfully mended on the sewing ma
chine. Baste a piece of old linen under
meath the hole or worn spot and darn
back and forth on the ma chine. Trim off
all loose threads and press This method
is most successful with table linen. 1t
is better to mend before a hole appears.
New linen should never be used for
mending table linen.

corded silk that carries its own girdle.

enough put by to keep him during
his idle period, but the greed of the
straw boss takes away the amount
the laborer might save and he finds
himself destitute when he is idle.
''The interpreter is another evil.
He is usually f1ashily dressed. He
wears a big diamond ring. He will
loiter around the section where for
eign Iaborers go to find employment
agencies and will approach the men
and tell them he can get them jobs if
they will give him so much money.
They beg, borrow or steal what is
needed and then he takes a crew of
them to some agency and pays a
portion of what he has taken from
the men to the labor agency and
pockets the rest. There should be
some way to prevent interpreters
from taking money for jobs.
"Mr. Fitzpatrick and Mr.. Nockles
of the Chicago Federation of Labor
and William Guinea have talked the
matter over with me and we are en-
deavoring to amend the present law
so that if it is passed as amended it

A revision of the present employ
ment agency law which will make it
a prison offense for straw. bosses OF
interpreters to levy a tax on laborers
in factories or on railroad construc-
ton work is contemplated by Rich
ard ]. Knight, chief inspector of pri-
Vate employment agencies for the
state of Illinois.
Mr.. Knight told reporter for The
Day Book that investigation has
shown appalling conditions existing,
especially among men who paid
agencies or interpreters large sums
to get them railroad construction
work and then were compelled to
pay anywhere from $5 to $40 a
month to a straw boss for themselves
and $40 month for boys of Is and
16 who were placed on the payroll
as men.
81 have discovered that the straw
boss evil is so great that many of
these men are able to spend their
winters in Europe on the money they
take from laborers during the sum-
mer," Mr.. Knight said.
ct is a custom of these men to
take a certain amount each month
out of the envelope of each laborer.
If the Iaborer, unable to support his
family because he must pay a tax
to the straw boss, puts his boy to
work beside him, the straw boss takes
$40 a month from the meager pay
Of the boy and puts him on the pay
roll as a man. When railroad in
spectors come along these boys hide
in the bushes that it may not be
known that boys are employed. -
"The straw boss will also handle
the commissary supplies and force
the laborers to buy from him food
that they would not buy if they were
free to decide how to spend their
money.
