AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E, YOUNG.

Some charming suits and frocks of
white cloth have been displayed at vari-
Gus openings and have excited much
admiration. Although 1t may seem a
trifle early for the white street cos

some definite idea of the lines it will

which work up exceedingly well in

established favorite-serge.
The chic costume illustrated here can
be made up in any one of the above
mentioned cloths. The original is in
chalk-white Deauville-a sort OF thin
ner, lighter duvetyn-with fine soutache
braid trimming in navy blue. The skirt
and vest are of cloth and the blouse
is of white taffeta.

Clothes for the Young.

Higher waist lines and the flare ef-
fects seen in women's clothes appear
also in those for children. Varied are
the designs in children's coats. The
greater number are of simple construc-
ton, in loose, comfortable styles. The
raised waist line is always becoming
to a child's figure, and this. combined
with the rippled or circular skirt, is
both practical and smart.
The belts, in many cases. are raised
above the normal waist line. and are
rather wide. Some encircle the waist
while others are across the back and
sides only. Yokes are used extensive
ly. Many times they are across the
shoulders only, while the back of the
skirt is box pleated and attached tt
the yoke. Collars and cuffs many times
are of silk in a contrasting color, trim
med with a touch Of braid. Lingerie
collars and cuffs are much used. Fol
older girls the coats are shorter. ano
many of the designs are on the sport
order. Some are made with shoulder
yoke, the skirt of the coat being box
pleated to it. A variety of cloths are
used. both plain and fancy.
Coverts serEes, gabardines, whip.
cords, cheviots. prunella cloths. crepe
poplins. duchess satins and fancy mix
lures are all seen. Fancy buttons are
used extensively. Many carry out the
color scheme in the collars and cuffs

battleship gray order. are prominent. \
number of smart sport coats are in =
combination of black and white IL
check or plaid patterns. A small girls
coat of lavender moire poplin has al
accordion pleated skirt topped by s
wide embroidered belt. The collar ant
cuffs are also embroidered.
Children's dresses are made with thu
low -belted line and the high line. Man.
of those with a raised waist line hav'
the waist of white or Il contrasting
color. The combining of plain ant
fancy materials is one of the attrac
| tive features of childrens washable
dresses. Suspender effects are fashion
able, and this idea always works to ex
cellent advantage when combining ma
terials or colors.
Skirts are both pleated and circular
With the w-belted line the forme
are much used. Sleeves are both full

first anniversary is the one dedicated
to cotton. A cotton party might be
given, to which all guests were in
vited to come dressed in cotton. The
rooms should be decorated with cotton
bolls and cotton" refreshments should
be served-any delicacies suggestive
of the n-growing- belt. For a
cotton luncheon the refreshments
might be cream rice soup. fried
chicken, hominy cakes, stuffed sweet
potatoes. small squares of hot corn
bread, stuffed tomato salad. cotton
bolls (balls of vanilla ice cream) and
coffee.
The second anniversary is the paper
anniversary. and in these days of the
perfection Of crepe paper for decora-
tive purposes no clever woman need
rations. Paper candle shades, paper
flowers, paper tablecloth. napkins and
dishes might all be used at a paper
supper. And the cooked food might
be prepared in paper bags. OF course.
there should be paper place cards, and
| the ice cream could be served in paper
cases, the bonbons wrapped in paper
ana the sandwiches tied with paper

A good menu for a paperbag supper
would be: Grape fruit and oranges

potatoes, rolled sandwiches tied with

PLAIN NEEDLEWORK.
RY HELEN HOWE.

d
There are many women who have no
taste or aptitude for fancy needlework'
but who enjoy a bit of plain sewing,
or, what the English call, white work
This includes all the intimate gar
ments, and while it may be said lingerie
can be bought so cheaply ready to
| wear it is not worth making at home'
this is only generalizing.
If one will take the trouble to eX-
anime the tempting offerings in this
line it will be seen that the material
and trimmings are inferior to thoSe
one would put into the garments mace
up at home, consequently materlais
costing the same amount as the fin-
| ished article will give double the wear
of it. Thus it is obvious there must be
| a considerable saving in making AT
! home, suppOsinG one has the time ana
inclination for the work. Where there
are children the saving is even more
evident.
| In materials there is nothing better
| for hard wear than English longcloth.
| This is a soft but firm weave and wears
! like iron. 1t is especially desirab BILE
| for drawers, petticoats and night
dresses, for, say. children who are of
school age. These are always hard on
their clothes.
For smaller children the finer weaves
| of lingerie crepe are to be recommend
| ed for many reasons. For one fresh
| underwear is a daily necessity. and as
crepe requires no ironing the laundry
| labor is cut in half. And again. be-
cause no ironing is necessary very lit
| tie trimming is used on crepe. A bit of
hand crochet edSing or narrow torchon
| lace at the neck of the garment is often
the only decoration.
The little knickers are taken into a
plain band at the knee without trim
ming of any kind unless. perhaps, a
| little feather stitching. Nighties are
made like little kimonos. except that
| they slip over the head and are trim
| med often as not with band of
ticoats are finished with a feather
| stitching at the top Of the hem. This
applies to crepe goods. Cambria and
| longcloth are trimmed with torchon,
ciuny and filet lace edgings, also mar
| row, simple embroidery.
In making up white goods the bet
ter plan Is to take a day for the cut
ting only. One should be provided with
patterns, and then concentrate the
mind on the work. Each part of the
garment should be cut out and not left
and the sleeves tomorrow. When the
cutting is complete then each garment
with all its belongings should be roll
ed up separately and tied, label slip
ped into the string to designate the
kind of garment
One should not attempt to sew on
| cutting day, but come fresh to the
work. If one garment is taken at a
| time and finished completely before
pleasure, but when two or three parts
are floating around white work may
become nothing short of nerve wreck :

Names of New CoIorS.

Such colors as used to be called
neutral are now also called silent"
1t is well known that the names under
which various articles have been placed
on the market have either made them
popular or ruined their sale. and care
full merchants have been quick to see
the financial advantage in strict neu-
trality and silence. Among the new
silent colors. several of which have
had their names changed from those

The Pure Food Law.
We all know that within the last
few years progress has made great
strides in the matter of pure food laws
and legislation, but few housewives
know the letter of the law and the eX-
| tent to which the consumer can claim
protection under it.
| The misbranding of package foods as
| to weight and measure. cheap substitu-
tionS and the removal of valuable in
gradients in foods sold are among the
| an ample protection. The restrictions
| governing these matters are clear.
! food is deemed to be miSbranded under
these circumstances:
| /. If it be an imitation of or offered
| for sale under the distinctive name of
another article.
g If it be labeled or branded so as
| to deceive or mislead the purchaser. or
purport to be a foreign article when
not so. or if the contents shall have been
| substituted in whole or in part, or If 1t
| fail to bear a statement on the label
| OF the quantity or proportion of any
narcotic or habit-forming drug which
| it contains.
3. If 1t be an incorrect statement of
weight or measure.
4. If the package containing it or its
label shall bear any statement, design
or device which is false or misleading
| in any particular.
| The law on adulteration of foods is
on the whole less definite than that on
misbranding, for while it defines the
main types of adulteration it does not.
| except in the case of confectionery and
| of habft-forming drugs, name the speci-
| tc substances which are to be prohib-
tied restricted in use
| However, it is not through the law
| direct that the individual housewife
| will get the quickest redress. 1t is to
| her dealer that she must look for pro-
! lection. The dealer. with the pure food
! avs to back him. is in a position tC
| demand pure food. sanitary conditions
| and honest measure from the manufac-
| turer, and he will demand these if the
housewives insist upon them. There
! fore it is the duty of every woman tC
| buy only such articles as shall conform
| to these requirements. The buyer is
after all, the court of final appeal.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look years younger. Use
grandmother's recipe of
Sage Tea and Sulphur and
nobody will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark. glossy
and abundant. Whenever her hair
fell out or took on that dull, faded
or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with won-
deriul effect.
But brewing at home is mussy
and out-of-date Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for a So
J cent bottle Of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get
I this famous old recipe, which can
{ be depended upon to restore
{ natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandruff.
dry, feverisll, itchy scalp and fall
ing hair
A well known downtown drug
} gist says it darkens the hair so
I naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied. You
simply dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair
disappears, and after another ap-
j plication or two it becomes beauti-
fully dark, glossy and abundant.

EASY NEATNESS.

Neatness is a habit with children, IL
they are carefully trained OF course,
some children are naturally much
neater than others. but If neatness is
made easy it can be inculcated in every
child without much difficulty.
Take the matter of tracking up rugs
and floor with wet and muddy boots.
In a certain carefully managed house
there is a big tiled vestibule, in which
the children are asked to leave um-
breIlas and to remove rubbers and rub
Der boots and galoshes. This vestibule
is furnished with two small chairs and
niture is an invitation in itself to the
children to remember not to enter the
house with muddy boots.
If children are required to keep their
clothes neatly in order they should
be supplied with adequate means OF
keeping them so. There should be q
well equipped shoe box, with brushes
and polishes that can be easily APP
piled. There should be a pair of boot
trees or forms for each childs shoes
on which the shoes that are taken off
should be Immediately placed. There
should be closet with low hooks, on
which children's clothes can be easily
coats and frocks.
Children's bureaus. too. should he
made with easily sliding drawers that
are low enough and light enough for
small hands to manipulate.
A child's playroom is too often the
scene of much disorder and untidiness
And usually the child is in no wise to
blame for the untidiness. For toe
often the furnishings of the room are
not in proportion to the size of the
child. No child can be supposed to
keep it's toys neatly on a high shelf
when the only way to reach that shelf
is by means of chair. and when
climbing chair usually brings repri-
mand from some all-watchful adult
There should be low shelf running
the length of one wall. or closet fit
ted with convenient shelves. If this is
not convenient, there should be some
stout wooden boxes, painted or cover
ed with burlap, arranged to hold toys
and other childish possessions. Toy
boxes of wood, painted with fascinat-
ing animals on the outside, and set on
stout little wooden wheels. can be
bought for a reasonable price. These
make orderliness in the matter Of toys
a real pleasure.

Cotton, Silk and Wool.

Voiles, crepes and organdies are the
leading cotton fabrics for spring and
summer. The designs on the new voiles
rival in color and effect the soft print

stripes and sometimes in plain effects
