;EJ HIS is an easy. way of making hand-run tucks in lingerie:
 Crease the first tuck as usual
 for machine tucking and ad- i5ust the tucks, but do not thread the Imachine. Then run throuh the tucker. iThe needle will leave distinct line ialong which to run your hand sewing. fThe marker also leaves line for the inext tuck It is best to sew each tuck las 1t comes from the tucker, as han, idling obliterates the marks. This ,method insures absolute accuracy with ifhe daintiness of the hand sewing, and ican be done in less than half the usual time.
 N T is impossible to dress to look ones best unless the toilet Ia-
 ble has brilliant light above
 it. It is mortifying to pass from a dim bedroom to a well-lighted itheater, or a friends house, and to discover small wisps of straying hair and errors about ones attire which en- 'tirely escaped attention in the semi darkness at home. A clever woman has her bedroom most cunningly light fCU SO llut Uy ACdAO OA dAOtnCI Asl1 frcf opposite that on her dressing table, she can see herself in evert position. ; This is one reason why she is rarely iseen with "yawningsy between bodice and skirt, glimpses at petticoats through plackets, and the back of col liar badly adjusted.
 mn FINE satin stitch, sometimes called French stem stitch. is
 among the most difficult kinds
 of embroidery to do well. A good substitute is what is known as satin outline. It is much used as an edge on figures to be filled with seed ingsor fancy stitches. To work it make fine outline stitch along design, then cover with a close over-and-oyer stitch, taking up only the stitch itself, not any of the material. Somewhat similar is the cording stitch, except that the un- derstitchery is run and the overstitch is taken through the running stitches to form sort of diagonal cord. This makes good effect when the over stitch is done in color. as blue and white, red and white.

 E% o you know that your stomach
 slumps- actually slumps from
 two to four inches in your
 body if you make a practice of worrying and fretting?" said woman lecturer to her audience recently. .Ffzst your mouth droops till you can't lift fte corners of it. Your chin gets tig--oh, you're anything but an i'm pressiye picture then! But worse comes. Your stomach slumps and coils Au1, on itself, and your diaphragm sd-t of falls on your stomach and your stomach gets irritated and creates poisonous gases. = Then your heart feels as if il were giving out. and you ray.
