TODAY'S HOUSEHOLD
AFFAIRS.
BY MARY LEE.

We read a short sentence the other
day which was impressive The man
who has brains enough to get outside
himself. to scrutinize and criticise
himself, to measure himself up beside
other men, is the man from whom
something may he expected"
There is much wisdom here. and
why cannot We. who make and keep
homes. apply it to ourselves"
Let US say for the sake of argument
that we have felt for some time the
need to do over the house. hut money
Tor energ!t has been lacking. and we
have forced ourselves to endure condi-
tions as they are. Is this endurance
either right or necessary? Remember,
now, We are outside ourselves and en-
titled to question and condemn.
Here is the living room. What is
wrong with this room? Why are we
always inclined to change the furni-
the appearance of the room?
Is this living room cold in color and
uninviting? The curtains harmonic
with the floor covering Are the chairs
receive the maximum amount of light
over the shoulder OF the reader who
sinks down for coy half hour with
a good box or the needieworker with
close work to accomplish"
Are there too many ornaments on
the mantel shelf and scattered about
over the room" Does the thought.
Dear me. I'd hate to dust this ROOM
come before the thought, How restful
this room is?
Do the lamps serve to light the room
properly and insure the evening OF
comfort. or do they simply seem to
make the darkness visible?
Is the dining room simply place
in which to eat and from which to es-
cape as quickly as possible Is the ia
BILE as attractive as it can lie made
when it is set for the daily meals"
Are the bedrooms dainty. CHEEKY,
restful. or have th>E been used as a
sort of dumping ground for cast-otf
downstairs furniture and reduced TO
characterless clutter?
Is the kitchen comfortable place in
which TO work or a sort of inferno OF
unnecessary drudgeTy? Are the shelves
too high or in the wrong place? The
stove and table at the wrong angles
Is the kitchen sacred to saved or
squandered energy?

With Bits of Lace.

1t is always possible to make use of
such bits of lace as one may have on
hand. And spring is a good time to get
out and utilize, these attractive and
filmy scraps,
This summer Irish crochet buttons
are used on many of the sheer lingerie
blouses. So if you have on hand some
odd bits of Irish crochet lace by all
means use it to cover button mods
First cover the molds with white linen
and then stretch the lace over them
Small medallions that have never been
found useful for anything else half
worn pieces. or scraps of any sort can
be used in this way.
Then there is the underbodice which
can so easily be made from crepe de
chine or some other fabric and trimm ed
with lace. Lace insertion over the
shoulders. a band of lace around the
underbodice or a yoke effect of the
lace can be fashioned.

Pool. The laughter of the Laughing
Brook was good to hear. and presently
there came a clear. sweet peep, peep,
peep" from over in the Smiling Pool,
and. as if this were a signal, the great
spring chorus began again right where
it had left off when he had stepped out
ON the bank.
There was joy in that chorus and 1t
found an echo in the heart of Farmer
Browns Boy. 1t was good to be there.
Along the edge of the Laughing Brook
he could see the bright green of sturdy
skunk cabbage leaves, some tightly
rolled as they had thrust their way up
through the earth like little spears,
and some already beginning to unfold
He could see soft gray pussywillows.
In the top of the Big Hickory tree Red
Wing the Blackbird was doing his best
to let every one know how glad he was
to be back from the south. Somewhere
back of him among the alders Little
Friend the Song Sparrow seemed to be
trying to put all the gladness and joy
and hope of springtime into song. Pres

Boy smiled as he watched, ana enen ne
wondered how he ever. ever couio nave
tried to trap Jerry, and nttle nush
of shame crept over his face.
And then he caught his breath. Some
thing was moving close to the bank on
the opposite side of the Laughing
Brook What could it be? He nxed
his eyes on the spot and held his
breath. And then he almost exclaimed
aloud. which would have spoiled every

1t was plain to see that he was very
nervous and anxious. He looked this
way and that way. He held his head
very high, and Farmer Browns Boy
knew that just as his keen eyes were
searching everywhere for signs OF dan
ger HIS keen ears were listening Tor
suspicious sounds. Presently he saw
jerry MuSkrat taking sun bath on
the end of the. old log, and at once he
seemed satisfied that all was well. He
drew his neck down to a more comfort
able position and slowly swan out into
the Smiling Pool.

Most of u.s. when we look at pat

in every line. There are, for instance

The underhlouse is of striped mate

a deep cuff of the new goods. and the
skirt that shows below the overskirt is
of the plain material.
You will notice, in this design, that
graceful new cuff that fits over the top

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW Work. April 1.-two months
ago when Clllot had her opening or
the Rue Tattbout in Paris there was
a suit Of gabardine shown that caused
ordinations of delight from the
American buyers seated against the
wall 1t was brought 10 this country
by many of these buyers and was
shown at the openings here during the
third week of March.
OF cours" the suit will be copied IN
all manner of materials and for all
types Of women, which IS the custom

ty. for it couceals many defects of the
hand and also DISCUSSES age. On the
cuff are a row of small buttons, such as
are so popular as sleeve trimmings this
season.
One of the pretty modes of the season
is to buIld the underSkirt and over
blouse of plain green taffeta. and have
an overskirt and underblouSe with
sleeves of lowered taffeta, in which
are mingled pink and green, or some
other fashionable color with green, on
a pale or white background. The COM
hination makes a beautiful frock. The
same idea may be carried out in cotton
or linen goods and in sport silks, OF
which there are great variety OF
WeaveS and styles.
For a school dress, the overblouse
and entire frock could be made of plaid
bingham, or some other kind of check,
all of which are fashionable. The over
skirt could be bordered with plain col
or. and the underblouse be made of
plain color. But il will be found more
satisfactory to have the underblouse in
the form Of a white guimpe that may
be removed every DAY or so and
washed

alton of the top of the skirt, made IN
oyster white satin, the gathers held
in to fiat shoulder yoke that extends
over the arm, giving slightly dropped
armhole to a fun sleeve, ending in a
cuff al the wrist. There is a belt eX-
!actly at the waist line with two snort
ends at the back. And. by the way. the
Eabardine which is used in this SUIT,
the color Of which is difficult to define,
for it is neither gray nor biscuit nor
cafe au lait. is the very newest thing
that Paris is exploiting and is called
'grege,' which is nothing more nor
less than the French for raw. II
means that the material is used with
out any dveing exactly as the Chinese
use their Shantung, tussor or ponSee.

Fashion Paragraphs.

Aprons and smocks are still worn
for gardening-or for gathering the
fruits of the garden, floral or edible,
which is what most women's gardening
consists of. At all events. there are
some charming little gardening aprons,
with deep pockets at the knees, that
are quite as practical as they are be-
coming. They serve not only to keep
the frock beneath clean. but they give
a place to carry scissors, pruning
shears and other small garden Access
sories.

Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair

Few realize how many society wo-
men now wash their own hair not
because it Is n fad, but because they
wish to obtain tho greatest posi- Bile
hair beauty and be sure they are
not using anything harmful The
thousands who have found that in
washing the hair 1t Is never wise 10
use q makeshift but is always adj
visahle to use a preparation made for
shampooing only. say they get the
best results from a. simple homemade
cauthrox mixture. You can enjoy this,
the best that Is known. for about three
cents a shampoo by getting some
canthrox from your druggist, and
dissolving a teaspoonful IN a cup of
hot water. Your shampoo IL now
ready. After its use the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color. Dandruff.
excess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair will be
so fluffy that IL will look much heavier
than 1t is. Its lustre and softness will
also delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which insures

SAYS FRENCH WILL WIPE THEMSELVES
 OUT IN FIGHT
ACCORDING TO FIELD MARSHAL VoN HINDENBURG THIS WILL
 BE THE OUTCOME.

There has been various reports ln regard to the great armies of the al- lies, but it was left to Field Marshal von Hindenburg to state that the French would eventually wipe them selves out and blame the British for the fact. The chief of the German staff said recently:
 "The French show great tenacity. but they are exterminating lives by their method of fighting. All their ten acity will be of no avail, for in the end there will be none of them left.
 This fate of the French nation is owing, above all else, to the British. If the British ask next spring for one more offensive campaign they will rob France of the remainder of her army and her national strength
 This war will makesno great change in the estimate of British military ac- complishments, Great strategists, In particular, are lacking among the Brit ish.
 "The Transylvanian situation is eX- cellent. The Rumanians are in re treat and the day of reckoning is com. ing. I welcomed their entrance into the war with joy. By means or it we got out of trench warfare
