SETTLED A KNOTTY POINT
Professor Of Law In Missouri Univer-
sity Has Made Somewhat Inn
portant Decision.

On what day does one become OF
age?
This question was suggested by a
story in the Missourian which told
how a couple had to wait "a hours for
a marriage license. because they ap-
piled on the day before the prospective
brides eighteenth birthday anniver-
sary.
or course no one thinks of having
birthday celebration on any day ex-
cept the anniversary, but. according to
Manley o. Hudson. professor of law
in the university. a persons age
changes legally the first instant OF the
day before the anniversary of his birth
day.
THE reason" said Professor Hud-
son, lis that it is not convenient to
count the fractions OF day as would
have to be done in case the change
were determined by the exact time the
person was born. On the day before
ones birthday. one has completed an
even number OF years OF life, and it is
figured that the age changes on that
day."-University Missourian.

BUTTERFLY DESIGN HAS ALWAYS
A BEAUTIFUL EFFECT.
Worked With Simple Lace Stitch This
May Be Said TO Make an Ideal
for Making.

A beautiful effect OF handmade
lace can be obtained by working de-
signs with a simple lace stitch.
This stitch is quite easy TO learn,
and is quickly worked. For the deco
ration OF teacloths. doilies, table
runners and cushion covers this is an
ideal decoration.
Various motifs can be worked in
this style. and one that works out par
ticularly well is butterfly, which can
be had on transfers, in various posi-
tions and sizes. For many purposes.
just a butterfly placed in one corner
OF the article is sufficient decoration,
and when this embroidery is en-
ployed there is usually no need to put
lace around the cloth.
To work, transfer the butterfly on
the material, and work the outlines of
il with ordinary buttonhole stitch;
thus four wings of the butterfly will

MAKE YOUR SILK BOOMERS
Garment That Is Undoubtedly Here to
Stay Need Not Be a Drain on
the Purse.

The bloomer Of today has apparent
ly come to stay. 1t fills long-felt
want. 1t is a convenient. comfortable
garment, that takes Up little room in
trunk or handbag, and that gives little
bulk in the wearing. For outdoor
sports of ell kinds, from mere walking
to mountain climbing, it Is ideal. For
evening wear it is equally ideal. 1t
is an all-day garment that women are
wearing more and more.
To begin with, there are the Italian
silk boomers, in white and pale pink.
These wear we'll and are very easily
laundered. They are not expensive
when these considerations are noted.
1t is quite possible, however, to make
boomers for 40 or so cents pair that
are dainty and durable and as easy to
launder as the silk ones. These are
made Of thin cotton crepe-the sort
sold for underwear, not for frocks.
This costs from Is to % cents yard,
and two yards is enough for pair OF
boomers of medium size. Anybody
short needs only a yard and three
quarters. 1t comes in pink, blue and
lavender.
These boomers are very easy to
make. They need no buttonholes or
buttons, and there are no packets,
which are always bothersome in the
making. There is an elastic in each
knee and another at the belt, so that
the boomers slip into place and stay
in place when they are put on. A
yard and half or two yards OF cotton
elastic is needed
