PROPER WAY TO HANG SKIRT
Care Necessary If One Would Have II
Retain Its Original Shape-The
White Dress.

Every woman knows how hard it is
to hang up skirt so that it retains its
original shape. Here is one way in
which it can be done:
Take an ordinary wooden coat-hang
er and screw underneath the hanger
two small brass hooks about one inch
long. Place them at either side of the
center hook, at equal distances from
it, Hang the loops of the skirt on the
hooks. A jacket can be slipped on the
hanger without wrinkling the skirt.
To improve the shiny serge or cloth
lay it fiat on the table and pass a
piece of fine sandpaper very gently
over the shiny part. The sandpaper
will roughen up the nap again, but be
careful not to rub too hard, as it may
wear a hole in your material.
When putting away white dresses
wrap them in dark blue cambria to
prevent them from turning yellow Pa
per can also be used and can be blued
by dipping in strong bluing water and
dried Fine centerpieces and doilies
not in use should be kept wrapped in
dark blue tissue paper.-Farm and

FASHIONS DECREE IN SHOES
One May Have Choice of Many Models
and Be Perfectly Confident of
Their Fitness.

Button boots have always been the
rule for tailored suits, but recently
laced boots have been considered
smart.
A good-looking laced model in a
walking shoe with vamp of demi-pat-
ent leather and gray calf uppers is
worn with a gray, fur-trimmed cos
tune.
Another striking style is Of Havana
brown kid, laced nine inches high,
trimmed with perforated bands and
Louis heels
Side lacings frequently, in fact as
rule, appear in the high-grade shoes,
and while being very smart are not
conducive to ones peace of mind
while performing this little detail of
dressing
The princess model frequently has a
black diamond on the toe. In white
kid this model is exceptionally attrac-
tive for dress wear.
In keeping with the fur craze, the
latest walking boot has bracelet of
fur matching the peltry on the cos
tune.

MAKE BACK YARD ATTRACTIVE
Cost Need Not Be Great if Little
Care Is Given to Proper
Expenditure.

Why not make the back yard just
as attractive, or even more attrac-
tive. than is the front lawn? 1t can
easily be done and at very small ex-
pense. Instead of piles of rubbish, an
unsightly ash barrel or two, a more
unsightly garbage receiver, unsightly
clothes-line poles, ETC., take a little
time and spend a little money and
make the back yard lawn or garden
a place upon which you will like to
pass a portion of every day
First, by an underground garbage re-
ceiver, which is sanitary, does not
take up space in the yard, keeps away
rodents, and Is permanent invest
ment. The cover operates by SIM
pie foot trip, a blessing for the wom-
enfolks.
Keep the ash barrels in the cellar
or under the piazza, where they may
be screened from sight.
Then, instead of the clothesline
poles, bare and dirty, build pergola
around them and cover it with climb
ing vines which will keep green all
summer; this will cost only few dol
lars, and will add hundreds of dol
lars worth to the beauty of the back
yard.
Then, if you have two or three
shade trees there-and if you have
not, you had better have some trans
planted at once-build around each
one rustic seat this you can do
yourself at the expense of only a
pound or two of nails and a few
hours of work cutting the sticks which
you will need from some nearby
grove.

STYLES FOR SMALL GIRLS
Skirts Of Serge Buttoned to Waists of
Cotton or Linen Are liked-Vel-
vet Coats Popular.

Skirts Of serge plated in wide side
or box plaits and buttoning at a very
high waist line to plain little waists OF
white heavy cotton or linen are youth
full versions of the separate skirt and
waist costume, and the sailor suit and
one-piece Russian smock, low belted,
are as popular as ever for children.
Plain smocks over plaid or striped
skirts are shown in very attractive
combinations, and sometimes a clever
little smock of black or dark blue vel
vet is worn over a skirt of rather gay
stripe or plaid wool, but little of the
skirt being in evidence if the model
is for small child.
Apropos Of velvet, which is such a
mania with older folk, the small girls
are wearing much of IL, too, but chief
ly in coats, such adorable velvet coats,
trimmed, like the coat of the grownup,
in fur. The fur is not, however ap-
piled with lavish hand, as in the case
OF the grownup. 1t is used most dis
creetly. A little turnover collar and

FOR JUVENILE WEAR
New Fabrics and Styles Have Been Introduced.
Brown Gabardine Bids Fair to Be
Popular This Spring.

AS an accentuation of the change
that has taken place in Juvenile
clothes, there is new frock advanced
as the most correct model for
spring: it is made of brown gaberdine
embroidered in yellow, with yellow
satin blouse.
The use of this fabric and this color
is unusual in childrens clothes, and
it shows that we are tending away
from the conventional theories of
what should be worn and dipping
into the region of the unknown. 1t
is quite true that the tiniest young
sters have worn wooden clothes when
no attempt was made for fashion and
only comfort and health were con-
sidered but whenever there was even
the smallest altar to fashion raised
in the sewing room, small children
were kept to washable materials
Another new frock for children
that is quite different from the ordi-
nary and shows the new movement
toward originality. has tight-ftting
bodice of blue velvet with a blue-and-
white checked taffeta skirt. One of
the most startling house gowns that
has been invented for children which
was worn as a page costume at a
smart wedding, had a skirt built of
many ruffleH Of white silk net. topped
by short. white satin bodice with

Hasty PUDDING.

This is Scotch recipe for an econ
omical breakfast dish, and quickly
made, as it's name indicates. The in.
gradients are oatmeal and suet; for
the latter butter may be substituted If
preferred.
Put one pound Of minced suet in
saucepan, set on the stove and bring
slowly to boiling point. then stir in
eight handfuls of oatmeal medium
quality. Let this boil for one minute,
stirring all the time, then pour in one
teacupful of boiling water and continue
stirring for another minute, when the
pudding will have thickened and be
ready. Add salt to taste.
1t is quite as nice heated up again,
either in saucepan or under the grill.
1t is usually eaten with oatcake in
Scotland.

slight shoulder straps of tulle. The
gown was an exact replica OF the
most fashionable frock that is being
worn by young women of twenty, and
yet, the interesting fact about it was
that the dress was definitely youth
full. In addition to few pink rose
buds, a pair of flesh pink socks and
heelless, white satin slippers with
ankle straps took all the sophisti-
cation away from the frock.
The milliners have kept up with the
dressmakers in devising new kinds OF
things for children, and one of the
new straw hats to be exploited in the
spring has a tulle crown through
which the hair shows. AS rule,
quantities Of tule are not used in
Juvenile hats, although miles Of it
have been employed everywhere else.
The fashion for colored worsted flow
ers has crept into small hats, but
many Of the critics have regarded it
as more suitable there than anywhere
else.
OF course, the present fashion for
shocking spreads over into young
sters clothes, and the brilliant
smocks of colored satin and crepe de
chine have been initiated in small
frocks. Entire frocks of pale yellow
or ue-and-rose-colored china silk are
shocked at the shoulders, the wrists
and the hips. the latter holding the
fullness into the figure and obviating
the necessity of belt.
Summer frocks of fine muslin or
organdie will have shocking of cam
brio thread with no other ornamental
ton used but a bit Of lace at the
wrists and neck.

DECORATOR MUST BE ARTIST
Is Compelled to Have Wide knowl.
edge to Practice Profession
These Days.

Formerly the decorator or painter
merely had to deal with colors and
paints, and use them to the best ad-
vantage. Nowadays a decorator Is
compelled to have knowledge of the
several branches in rugs, furnishings
and draperies, their adaptation, selec-
tion and utility, and even the plaster
ing branch of building construction,
advising for rough or smooth plaster,
relief or stucco work, carpenter or
cabinet work, says the Real Estate
Magazine. He must make himself
familiar with all these things in or
der to carry out his scheme and pro-
duce the effects which he may desire
to produce in the respective rooms of
the modern house.
The decorating, and, to some ex.
tent, the furnishing, has become al
most as much a part of his calcula-
ton and work as the mere painting.
He must make his interiors handsome
and inviting. The tenant when nego-
Eating for a first-cass house Is no
longer content with bare, white walls
and plain floors. The demand in such
cases is for house that is finished
according to the modern idea. Like
everything else in building construc-
ton, these perplexities are turned over
to the architect to solve, but the mod.
ern metropolitan owner or manager
must take them into his business
along with brick, cement and steel.
