GIVE STIFFNESS TO SKIRTS
Partisan Modistes Are Making Much
Use of Crinolne and Haircloth
in the New Styles.

Regarding skirts, aside from their
greater width and their maintenance
of short lengths, the most remarkable
feature about them is the use of crino-
line and haircloth. The latter have
actually arrived. For many weeks and
months there have been rumors to
the effect that they were on the way;
and at last these rumors have been

A VISITING Librarian.

Mary Dewitt Titcomb has extend.
ed the field of the circulating library
in Washington county, Maryland un-
til 1t reached the most inaccessible on
the rural delivery list. With the con-
sent of the trustees, she built III
brary wagon" which was made much
like laundry wagon. 1t had side
doors opening outward and each side
was fitted with shelves of books.
Drawn by two mules, the library start
ed out into the country. Now the
wagon has been taken off and in it's
place is a library motor car which
carries a visiting librarian who ad-
vises the families and helps select
the books they want The teachers
OF the district schools also use the
library motor car to choose pictures
and books for their pupils. The trav.
cling library makes two trips week,
or 10 routes, covering the entire coun-
ty, which has $4,000 inhabitants. Miss
Titcomb says that the people in the
country do not read as much fiction
as her patrons in the city do.

Unbleached Muslin Spread.

Every woman likes to own a hand
some spread. but the majority of
spreads call for such expensive ma
terials that few women can afford to
indulge in the luxury. However, here
is a spread which is within almost
every woman's reach. 1t can be dupli-
Gated for about five dollars. The
spread is made of unbleached muslin.
All over its surface conventional
scrolls are outlined by means of huge
French knots. On the spread in ques-
ton white knots are used, but there
is no reason why one could not use
colored cotton to carry out the color
scheme employed in ones bedroom.
The edge Of the spread is finished with
cotton fringe.
In place of a quilting party. why
not have a spread party? The work
will then be quickly and pleasantly
done.

HELPS IN THE SEWING ROOM
Small Hints That Will Be Appreciated
by Matron Who Has Work to

A plain, broad hem is always an eff
fective finish to tea or tray cloth. 1t
will stand repeated launderings, and is
far better than using a cheap lace or
badly worked crochet edging

in matching Innings, ribbons or cords

Have you tried coffee grounds as a
filling for pincushions? They should.
of course, be well dried and packed
very tightly into the case. Needles
and pins kept in such a cushion will
not rust.
The old-fashioned emery cushion Is
a most useful possession to the needle
woman, especially when working in
hot weather. Passing a needle through
an emery cushion two or three times
polishes it, and makes it pass through
materials smoothly
Crocheted laces and edgings will set
better If they are shrunk before being

To Supply British Juror Shortage.

How is the shortage of jurors occa-
stoned by the war to be remedied? Sir
George Lewis proposes, in a contribu-
ton to the Law Journal. the imme-
date adoption Of the recommendation
made by Lord Mersey's committee that
the right to trial by jury should be
restricted. The committee, or rather
the majority of its members, proposed
that the question whether an action
should be tried by Jury, except an &C.
ton affecting personal character,
should be determined by a Judge.
Thus the supply of jurymen would be
made sufficient by reducing the de-
mand upon their services.-London
