TO POST IN SEWING ROOM
Useful Hints on Variety of Matters,
That Are Well Worth Keeping in
the Memory.

Before trying to pull threads in linen
for hemstitching or cTocheting hand
kerchiet edge, run a very damp piece
of cloth along the line where the
thread is to be pulled. You will be
surprised to see how easily the thread
will pull.
After threading a needle, be sure to
tie the knot in the end of the thread
shipped from the spool. The thread
will then sew smoothly and without
kinking.
Next time you are hemstitching try
rubbing dry soap on the material
where the threads are to be pulled,
They will come out like magic. This
can be used on the finest or heaviest
materials without injuring them.
For mending torn net lace, take a
strong thread and needle and button.
hole stitch loosely lengthwise in every
mesh. Having finished one row. turn
the lace around and buttonhole in
every buttonhole which was just fin.
ished, doing this until the te4 4. is
mended.

Net Rufus Are PopuIar,

The big neck ruffles which some.
times bear the name of toby" and
sometimes "Pierrot' are rapidly be-
coming popular. These big frills can
be bought ready-made, but any clever
girl could make one at home in the
space of half an hour. 1t is best to
choose fairly stiff tulle, as silk tulle
illusion very easily gets limp. Double
box plaits look best, and it is an ex'
cellent idea to pass length of black
velvet or satin ribbon through the
middle of these plaits leaving the ends
loose so that the ruffle may be fast
ened with large bow, in front or al
the side.

American Silo in Holland,

The first American ensilage tower in
Holland, which was erected last year
on the Johannahoeve farm at OoSter-
beck by the Institute for Agricultural
improvements, has given such good re-
suits that two other towers are now
to be built on the same farm, which
will provide sufficient ensilage maize
to keep the entire farm stock during
next sWinter.
The head of the Johannahoeve pro-
ject asserts that the American method
is preferable to that hitherto in use
there. An excellent fodder for all
kinds of animals is thus produced, he
says, while the losses by fermentation
are considerably less. He comes to
the conclusion that as many as A
cows can be maintained on 81 acres
by the new method, and that with eX-
elusive stable feeding they might even
be maintained on about 22B acres,
only an albuminous fodder needing to
be added in the winter.

PETTlC0AT HOLDS ITS OWN |
Garment Fas by No Means Been ReIe-
gated to the Background, az Some
Had Imagined.

The smartness that is only skirt
deep has no attraction at all for the
woman whose knowledge of, and fond
ness for, dress is a deep-rooted, and
not merely an acquired taste. Under
the "hobble" tyranny, it is true, oppor-
tunities for much variety were, in a
double sense, limited, and the narrow
proportions of the tube skirt excluded
anything in the nature of "fussy" I'M
derwear. But the rout of the petticoat
and the suppression Of the frill not
withstanding, no woman has regarded
the question of lingerie as secondary
consideration, and hardly had the wide
skirt come into being than the petit
coat resumed its rustling sway once
more. Further, it openly declares it's
presence, ignoring the ancient, if I'M
written, law that petticoat, though
it may be heard, should never be seen.

They are amazingly goodlooking
So far, we have left the designing Of
them almost entirely to the French,
whether through inability or through
Indifference, the reporter cannot tell.
There are a few eminent examples of
American designing that are worthy
of the best French work, but these
coats have not been available for the
many; they have been priced for the
exclusives.
Solid colors are used in the major
ity of topcoats, but there is no doubt
of the strong grip that checks have.

Sorry for Husband.

A husband who says his wife chased
him out of the house when he was
clad in his night shirt and pursued
him in the direction of an electric arc
light admits that he spanked her with
fence picket. Considering the lack
of distinction which marks the night
shirt and the pitiless publicity which
the arc light might have given the cos
tune it is easy to sympathize with
the husband if his whole statement is
true.-Louisville COurier-JOurnal.

Serge Frocks and Suits.

There are enough serge suits and
gowns on every side to prove that the
fabric is not out of fashion, but a thin
quality of gabardine with slight twill
in it is placed bit above a serge in
the order Of new fashions. Both of
these materials are used for frocks and
for skirts and coats, but there is a
new soft cloth, like an improved duve-
tyn, with checker-board pattern. 1t
comes more in black and white than
any other one color, but there are ex-
cessively good-looking suits of it in
blue and cream and brown and yellow.

Other Reasons Than Its Attractive

With Which It Evidently Is

Anyone who thought that topcoats
belonged to a winter climate must be
amazed at their steady growth with
the hot weather coming on.
The reason is not difficult to find.
We are indulging in the frantic pleas
ure of entering a new era; we must
look sportive, whether or not we are.
We must go to open-air events. We
must look as though we are familiar

New Rau Desiuns.

The designers Of the newest bags
have appropriated all the fads of the
dress creators. Some of these bags
are in velvet with several tiny rufIles
Of taffeta running around them, and
have fine clasps of silver set with
rhinestones.
Then, to match ones afternoon cos
tune, there is bag made in a combi.
nation of maize and black silk. The
,op of the bag, which resembles the
yoke of skirt, is made of the lighter
silk shirred with a large rufIle of the

have a great many buttons on them.
If the buttons are sewed on a tape

can be easily removed before the

Worth KNOWING.

If vegetables have burned in the ket-

Sprinkle soda on the grease spots

Soda is good to clean the bowls and

The Hurley Community Civics Club
held a meeting at the library Thurs
day evening which was we'll attended.
At this meeting the details for pub
lie skating rink were worked out. The
rink will be established at the ball
park and it is expected will be ready
for use during the holidays. The water
will be furnished free of charge by
the water company and employees Of
the town will do the flooding and keep
the ice in condition. AS soon as the
rink site has been leveled off and bank
ed around with snow the flooding will
begin, which it is expected will be in
couple of days. An ice rink furnish
es wholesome exercise and pleasure
for young and old and there is no
question but what it will be well pat

the meeting were the curfew and the
practice of children sliding on side
walks. The sum of five dollars was
appropriated to help defray the ex-
peuses of lighting the community
