THE CUSHING PERSON

charm toward you is only momentary. And if the next person she meets hap pens to say something unfavorable about you then she will, of course, promptly agree with her.
 The difference between the sincere woman and the fnsincere is that no matter how physically unattractive she may be her sincerity gives her an un- disputed charm She grows on you. She looks better to you the longer you know her. With insincere folk the op- posite is true. You grow to dislike their expression. their shiftiness of eye.
 Altogether the insincere person is a most undesirable individual. She is one. you would not make a friend of. No, the gushing person should endeavor to cultivate sincere sympathetic na- ture, otherwise. she stands every chance of being persona non grata.
 There is a lack of poise also about the gusher which is not consistent with the requirements of beauty. A woman who in self restrained, calm and col 1ected manner says something pleasing to you is an infinitely more attractive person in your eye than one who swoops down upon you and in an ex- cited voice cries out, 'I have a trade last for you,'' and awaits breathlessly for a return compliment

APRONS OF LACE FOR GIRLS

The girl who wants to be right up to the minute in her clothes must needs adopt an apron of aIlover lace. of net or satin closely plaited in narrow panel effect and hung from the dress girdle.
 The apron makes no pretension to beauty other than that of it's fabric. It is best liked without too much garT1i- ture, and it's lines are like those of the peasant apron and not like its parlor maid or tea table kin
 Of course this type of apron Is not to be acquired as a separate affair. It ts incorporated with the gown and some times shows a henstitched edge or one with a picot finish. It is not tackled to the dress excepting at the top and is an apron in every sense except that of utility.
 All sorts of charming possibilities ara immediately suggested by the adoption of the apron as a dress feature

HINTS FOR MOTHERS

PREJUDICES die hard, as is exem-
 plihed in the almost touching but certainly irritating tenacity with which the baby's binder is clung to in uninstructed quarters. The fal1acy un- derIying this devotion lies in the belief that the spinal and abdominal muscles are weak and need support" Weak. of course, they are, as in every other muscle before it is developed but then no strain should be put upon them
 One would no more expect a month old baby to raise itself to sitting posture than to stand the one power is as much a due outcome of natural development as the other and should no more be forced or undertaken too soon.
 Muscles, like everything else. develop by use and not by disuse. We should not expect bandages or splints to strengthen a limb. Indeed, we know that the reverse is the case and that left supported" and unused long enough the poWeEstQ use will atrophy.
 So the constrictfng binder weakeng the abdominal muscles and prevents their development, apart from the harm done to the digestive organs by the compression Therefore let see that our babies are left free to develop dn the natural way, with no binder save in those earliest of all days when pro- lection is needed, but not deliberate pressure even then
 A light wool shirt should, however, be worn over the abdomen to prevent chilling and collie.

MANY women have the impression
 that to be charming they must gush and make a fuss over you; they must agree with you in everything.
 There is a certain class of people with whom the gushing person Wiltget a hearing, but this is merely because that particular class enjoys hattery, an art in which the gusher is particularly skil1fuI. But, taken on the whole, hu- man nature appreciates frankness and sincerity. And these two qualities give to the eye an expression which is not to be overlooked in the seeker after beauty.
 Time was when empty headedness was no detriment to woman's beauty in the least, but now beauty is not considered ripe without the conscious ness of reasonable amount of gray matter associated with it.
 Insincerity is coupled with thought lessness always. Thinking is not the long suit of the gusher. If she did think for herself a little bit she would not second your opinion upon every oc- casion or approach you with hattering remarks when you were conscious they were not Justified.
 Outwardly the gushing person will often appear the most charming wo- man that you could meet, but her

Rich embroidery gives the satin vest and square buckle, the only other trimming being novelty buttons.
 Cloth and silk are continued in some coats that are dark enough in color and simple enough of line to answer general purposes, and there are dark silk coats that will make admirable dust coats a little later and are se- were enough to have tailored and sportslike air in spite of their hand some material. Taffeta. of course, sheds the dust excellently, and tussore is all ways popular for summer motoring, but it soils so readily that it is rather a nuisance even though it will tub, after a fashion. Few tailored coats come through the laundry with much of their shapeliness and smart ness intact.
 Still there are very stunning motor and travel coats of the heavy tussore and pongee weaves, some of the cape
 models in these materials being espe-

On Being
 Cheerful

TT is said that MT. Chaplin is a well
 behaved young man in private life, refraining in his nonprofessional mo- ments from all those eccentricities which, thrown upon screen, amuse so many of his fellow men. Indeed, any critic of MT. Chaplins might safely eat his luncheon beside this versatile young man without running the slightest risk of having a cream puff smashed upon his head.
 There is a feeling abroad that good natured persons are rather uninterest- ing and that continual optimism would wear upon the nerves. We admire bright spirits to certain extent and like to be cheerful ourselves on ordi- nary occasions. but there are some ex- ceptiona1 times when we find it more natural to be cross, and when in that condition it is decidedly irritating to be met with a cheerful smile to our distorted imagination like the grin of the celebrated Cheshire cat.
 Perhaps the true diagnosis is we like other people to be cheerful when we need that sort of comfort and to be sympathetic with us in our own peev- ishness when we think we are justified in feeling out of sorts.

is shirred into a short front fastened with four novelty buttons, while the double cape collar and tucked chemi- sette are of navy georgette crape.
 Another taffeta costume is wistaria co1ored. a dressy afternoon suit, the skirt of which is corded at the hem. The three quarter length coat is hand somely embroidered in gold and silver thVead. A smart touch is the choker collar made like the p1aited girdle. Please notice how chic is the chimney pot hat topped with wistaria tulIe and trimmed with a gold and silver rose.
 White tussore silk is used for the handsome skirt, the tunic being en- broidered in French blue. Of this same tone is the natty little taffeta jacket fastened with one button. White tus- sore affords the revers, cuffs and collar.
 The vo1uminous gown, worn with a huge black hat, is of biscuit crape meteor. A charming bodice has a sur- plice drape in front and a jacket back.

ORNATE DESIGNS IN CHINA

CHINA patterns that were popular V half a century ago have come into vogue again, and some show very or nate designs. One of these has figure of large winged insects done in deep red and, green, touched with black. Another design is of deep and paler reds in a scroll. French china comes in a new squatty design, and the colonial style with thin, breakable stems is also in favor again. Old Eng fish blue patterned china is. very ap- propriate. especially in colonial din ing rooms. Both deep and light blues are used. Some of the more gorgeous rims show floral designs of red and green yelled with a gold network of scroll.

YoujRI. ROSE JAR.

TNO make a rose jar gather the petals
 early in the morning, toss lightly on a table in an airy place till the dew dries off; then place them in a stone jar and sprinkle a little salt over half inch layers of the petals. Add to this from morning to morning until enough pet als are gathered for your purpose. Let stand in the jar ten days after the last are put in, stirring every morning.
 Have an ounce each of cloves and allspice coarseIy ground and as much stick cinnamon, broken and shredded fine. Transfer the petals to another jar and scatter the spices together, in layers alternating with the flowers. Cover jar tightly, let stand three weeks, when the stock will be ready for a per- manent jar.
 If you wish only the perfume of the rose add to the leaves four ounces of rose powder and same quantity of FIorentine orris powder.

duced at the beginning of the dinner. A few years ago an extra fine set of china of one pattern was considered sufficient, and from course to course the only difference in the china was in the size of the plates. Now there is much multiplication and elaboration of service. There is a set or sets of service fish, game and extra plates in the china closet of the woman ad- dicted to dinner giving.
 Some of the prettiest china in Amer ica today comes from Russia4 It is especially appreciated by those who like som mething tasteful and at the same time out of the ordinary. The patterns show a comningling of many colors in small designs, the effect being sub dued and not catchy except to the edu- cated eye.

 Contrasting taffetas, too, are much used in combination, stripes or plaids with plain color or two plain colors.

A HINT TO THE WISE.

THIs is a good time to look over your
 luggage and see that it is all in order before summer travelling begins. Hsve your trunk mended if necessary. Buy new trunk straps. Have suit cases mended and decide what new bags must be bought this summer. then get them as occasion offers so that you will not be rushed when vacation time comes
 Have all baggage marked distinctly with initials, as this helps in identifying 1t at hotels and in case express checks are lost.

IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD MAT.
 TRESS.

MOST of us spend at least third
 of our lives in our beds. That means that we spend a third of our lives lying on mattress.
 Yet how many of us begrudge the expenditure necessary for really good mattress. Anything will do, we think, as long as 1t is clean and fairly level. We spend hundreds of dollars for a rug that we see for only few hours a day-in the sitting room, for instance. But we begrudge the tens of dollars that a really good mattress costs.

eLuE LINEN GASES.

HAVE you noticed in many of the
 stores specializing in novelties the handkerchief and nightgown cases made of blue linen? The general inn preSsion is that blue is used because so many people like the color, but there is another reason-a blue case will keep white material from becoming yellow.
 When summer is over and the wealth CT becomes too cold to wear white make bags of blue material, or cases, and place your linen garments in them until next season.

The hip drapery that achieved such popularity in the winter is still with us, though not inevitable. If one pre- fers a more normal hip line there arc models that will supply it. and even on the extremely bouffant skirts the point of greatest width is not regular.
 Many of the taffeta evening froclzs have skirts quite untrimmed, unless their elaborate drapery can be counted as trimming, and even the bodice may be practically untrimmed aside from some effective decolletage finish. Color and line are intrusted with the eff fectiveness, and if an artist does the work the confidence often is justified
