How TO Utilize a Castoff Feather Bed

by Making Pillows Of II.
A few women are fortunate In hay
ing inherited number Of old bed pill
lows and holsters, and there is nothing
like old fashioned feathers for dividing
up into filing for sofa pillows while
they last. These feathers can always
be put together again for bed use If
needed, and meanwhile they might just
as well be used for sofa pillows as to
be laid away in the storeroom.
However, not every one IS SO fortn'
nate as to have accumulated the feath'
cred bed coverings Of her ancestors,
and then It Is found that to buy new
feathers is expensive, The cheaper pill
lows bought ready made are filled with
cotton or with soft clippings from lin
en- and cotton rags, and Il good home
made filling for a pillow may be made
by cutting roll of cotton into small
squares and heating them in n pan IN
the oven for half an hour, taking care
not to let the cotton Scorch. Every
square will. according to best author

become as light and fluffy for filling a

How to Make Attractive Luncheon
Sets TO Replace a Burden.

Many of the new luncheon sets are
square instead of round. Whether 1t Is
merely passing fad or fashion here
to stay remains to be seen, These
square sets have wide hem and a
drawnwork border thrce-quarters of
an inch wide, and feature Of this
new drawnwork is the introduction of
colored threads.
Swedish weaving is another form OF
needlework being revived and Is ap-
Piled to household linens. 1t is really
based on drawnwork, but is slightly
different, worked in color and quite
simple. The delightful part Is that after
one has acquired a working knowledge
of the few stitches used one can create
ones own design.

MIDDLEBURY WINS FROM
FRANKLIN-M MARSHALL.

In the second base ball game of
Junior week, played on Porter field
Saturday afternoon, Middlebury de-
feated Franklin-Marshall by a score OF
sd. Robinson's home run in the eighth
making the winning run.
Dewhurst got a single in the second
over second base, and Brinkman OF
Franklin Marshall got one in the same
inning, but neither side crossed the
plate till the fourth, when two errors
and three Dagger by Bartlett Melted
two for Middlebury. In the next inn
ing Garrison, the Middlebury pitcher,
walked a man, and one single and a
double gave Franklin-Marshall three
runs, after Garrison had struck out
two. Middlebury repeated her record
of the fourth in the next inning how
ever, getting two more talhes by an
other long hit by Bartlett which he
stretched into two bases, and two
singles just preceding it.
In the eighth after one strike out
Garrison passed Honsburger, and on
two wild pitches and an error he crossed
the plate. Garrison struck out the
next two men, and Capt Robinson gave
Middlebury her one run lead again in
the last half of the inning when he
again lived up to his name "Home-run
Robbie" by deep right field drive that
enabled him to round all the bases. A
double play in the ninth decided things
for Franklin Marshall and the game
was Middlebury's.
Garrison pitched fine game for Mid

BY MARY MARSHALL.

1t sounds like a fairy story when we
read that at the time of the choosing Of
suitable wife for the French prince who
later became Louis XIV the names of 100
eligible princesseS of Europe were drawn
up by the French statesmen and pre-
sented to the royal family.
There were princesses of every country
OF Europe-princesses poor and rich,
beautiful and homely. pious and wicked.
After the name of Marie Leczinski were

ever, that the princess was seven years
older than the young prince; that she
though she had been chosen from the
family of the poorest Of the Kings sub

cAarming-not even clever.
IL must have been that in the case OF
the ninety-nine other princesses some
thing disadvanta geous was known con-
cerning their families, for on this sole
recommendation the choice fell on the
z2-year-old Marie Leczinski. At the time
she was living with her mother and
father. the exiled Polish King Stanislas
Leczinski, in a small town in Alsace.

UNIFORMS FOR
SCHOOL CHILDREN
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

A little forethought taken now regard
ing the youngsters school clothes will
save a multitude of frettlng later on.
Play-clothes for summer at home or in
the country can be neglected but when
the girls and boys have to start out
before half past eight in the morning
one must see to 1t that they are clothed
In serviceable and neat suits and frocks
In certain private schools there has
been going on for several years move
ment toward the simplifcation OF school
clothes and in many of the schools even
an actual uniform has been established
a uniform at once comfortable, serv-
icible and attractive.
Why not establish some sort of school
uniform for your own children? 1t will
greatly simplify your problem of dress
ing them and no doubt it Will please
the youngsters. who. if they are norma
healthy children. do not love any toe
well the consideration OF clothes.
For the little girl in school there is no
uniform so suitable as the MILDLY blouse
or Peter Tom suit, made to be worn
with bloomers. For autumn wear, when
the days are still warm. such gar
ment, made OF linen colored cotton suit.
Ing is very appropriate and for later
wear navy blue serge is admirable. In
stead OF the sailor blouse a MILDLY blouse
could be used in which separate broad
white piquet collars and cuffs can be
arranged.
The whole idea in dressing children in
this sort of school uniform is 10 simplify
their daily task OF getting ready for
school. to give them the feeling OF being
suitable and well-dressed at the expense
Of the least amount Of money and the least
amount of time and worry.
Whatever your choice for your sons
school clothes. see that it is a simple
standard style. There is very poor econ
omy in buying some freak suit. even II
for that very reason you do get it at a
reduction bargain. II you select a blue
serge, belted eaton coat, see that he is
amply provided with easy-fitting eaton
collars and two or three wide black ties.
Most boys do not wear such an elaborate
school costume, however. But even
though he goes to school in a khaki
shirt with a simple pair Of khaki trousers,
see that he has enough of these simple
garments to permit of frequent changes,
see that they are of comfortable size and
that they are always provided with their
full quota of buttons
To permit the school boy to indulge his
taste for freak clothes. for clothes too
like those OF his father to be appropri-
ate to his age, for neckties that are
many-hued and elaborately designed.
shows really bad taste. 1t is the same
sort Of error as to permit the little girl
to wear jewelry to school just because
she fancies IT or because somebody may
have given 1t to her for Christmas or a
birthday.

WAR COLLECTIONS
House-to-House Canvass Here
Swells Jewish Relief Fund
Despite Drawback.

Owing to the rain yesterday the per-
sonal donations received at the head
quarters of the Jewish societies, which
are raising funds to relieve the suHer-
ers inn the war-stricken countries OF
Europe. were smaller than usual. The
collections for pledged amounts, how
ever, were satisfactory.
The canvass to collect this fund Is
being made under the direction of H.
Plotnick, visits being made to those who
have pledged their aid in this cause:
The personal contributions are received
at the headquarters of the combined Jew
ish societies OF Washington, 12O5 Sixth
street northwest
The raising of funds for the suffering
Jews In war stricken countries was be-
gun throughout the country more than
a year ago. During the winter months
collections were taken each week. but
since the hot weather in Washington, the
organizations have made only monthly
visits.
A canvass of all persons who are In
terested in helping the sufferers has been
made with view to having them pledge
specific amount to be given each week.
In this way there is a continued inflow
Of money. Amounts averaging from 10
to 25 cents are collected from each of
the subscribers. In a few instances large
sums have been donated. but it is the
idea Of the directors of the work to
spread out the collections.
In the past year more than 5000 has
been collected in this manner in Wash
ington. The fund is turned over to the
Peoples Relief Conference in New York
which organization distributes it to the
stricken territories. The amount col
lected in all the states in the country is
said to be large, the officials here declar-
ing that the Jews had been most liberal
in their donations. 4 report of the
amount collected in the United States
will be issued some time next week.

A few days later, after the Bishop OF
Rohan had rendered the princess the

Public meetings today should be sched-
