The popular petticoat for wear
with the new circular skirts has a
top of silk jersey cloth and a plated
founce Of taffeta silk. Petticoats of
plum colored silk jersey cloth have
deep plated fiounces of plum colored
pussy willow taffeta. Sometimes the
flounce is headed by quilting Of the
silk, but, as a rule, quillings, which
were so popular when last flare skirts
were in fashion, are omitted; for,
though the new skirt flares, it flares
smoothly and no extra bulkiness isl
permitted beneath it.
Run a basting thread Of contrasting
color under your velvet ribbon or
folds on wash dresses and when the
dress is washed, your basting will
show you just where to sew your rib
bon on again without the trouble of
measuring it again. Embroidery or
handkerchiefs which have an open
work edge can be made stronger by
crocheting a row Of single crochet
around. Old dress skirts which are
worn around bottom or are too short
can be made into petticoats. Wash,

The various substances used to keep
away moths, such as tobacco, cam
phor naphthalene cones or balls, tarr-
ed paper and cedar chips have no ef-
feet If the eggs are already present
in the clothes, and entomologists OF
the department of agriculture, there
fore, recommend a thorough beating,
shaking and brushing Of all articles
likely to attract moths, before they
are laid away for the summer The
brushing is especially important in
order to remove eggs which may
have escaped notice. Once the gar
ments are clean Of eggs, the odor
from the repellent will serve to keep
the moths away. This odor, however,
lessons with age, so that the protec-
tion it affords is greatly decreased
after a few years. For this reason
when furs and other valuable gar
ments are wrapped in tarred paper or
placed in sacks Of tarred paper, these
containers should be renewed every
year or two.
There is no part Of the body which
shows a lack Of flesh in a more ugly
way than the throat. When the neck
and shoulders become bony and
| feshless, the result Is disastrous.
Huge hollows appear, alternated by
big bumps where the large bones
stick out, and the effect is hideous.
The girl whose neck is too thin can
help it some by massage, but she can
help it much quicker and more ef-
fectively by putting on flesh all over
her body. This can usually be done
very effectively by going on a diet
Of fattening foods, by avoiding all
physical exercise except what is abb
solutely necessary and by taking plen-
| ty Of sleep. Girls who are inclined
to be thin are almost always Of the
type that cannot keep still. They
are constantly jumping out Of their
chairs for something. If they walk,
they never stroll along. but almost
gallop. This constant energy keeps
them thin. If this is avoided and
plenty Of fattening foods eaten, the
thin girl will begin to show results in
ten days.
James Russell Lowell is the author
of these beautiful lines which are
| dedicated to June:
| And what is so rare as day in
June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then heaven tries the earth if it be
in tune
And over it softly her warm ear
lays;
Whether we look, or whether we
We hear life murmur, or see it
glisten;
| Every clod feels a stir of might,
And instinct within it that reaches
and towers,
And. cropping blindly above it for
light,
Climbs to a soul in grasses and
| flowers;
The flush of life may well be seen
Thrilling back over hills and
valleys:
The cowslip startles in meadows
green,
The buttercup catches the sun in
it's chalice
And there's never a leaf nor a blade
| too mean
| To be some happy creatures palace;
The little bird sits at his door in the
| sun,
| Atilt like a blossom among the
leaves,
And let's his illumined being o'errun
| With the deluge of summer it re-
| ceiveS;
Her mate feels the eggs beneath her
