New BIouses.

Some of the latest blouses are singu-
larly soft and graceful. A few fash
toned from black net over white are
made with a few perpendicular tucks,
the sleeves full to the wrist, with a
frill falling over the hand. Even the
crepe de chine blouses are, many of
them, made with pointed piece fall
ing from the wristband over the hand,
the blouse itself opening in V form
at the neck, the edge with an open
hemstitch about an inch wide. Brown
Is a fashionable blouse color, and
brown chiffon tucked and worn over
gold net is altogether charming. Vivid
coloring, even in the embroideries, is
not now the first fashion. The soft
silk ones are wrought in dull shades,
but are all the more effective for their
subdued hues.

THE SMART CHICKEN.

Once on time there was a nice fam
lily Of chickens living in nice chicken
yard in a charming town, and the
chickens belonged to a dear little CIR
named Milly.
Milly was very fond of the chickens
She had given all of them nice names
1 can't remember all the names, but
there were Flossie and Fluffie and Tip
pie and Topic and many others.
One of the others was Smoke. He
was given that name because he looked
so much like the gray smoke that came
out of the kitchen chimney.
Smoke was really quite pretty lit.

his head. He became a very vain little
chicken. If AIilly. came out to the
chicken yard and did not notice him
he was much displeased.
So to make sure she would notice
him Smoke. when his little wings
would bear him, hoped up on the roof
of one of the colony houses. When
that didn't attract AIilly's attention
Smoke would tlutter up on the fence.
You'd best be careful" Mother Hen
said. for Smoke had a reckless way of
iiuttering down from his perch.
Smoke tossed his little head. he
thought he was quite able to take care
of himself.
One day Nilly came out TO the chick
en- yard with big pan of yellow look
ing stuff. She SGT it down on the
ground and called the chicks to her.
Smoke must have been taking a nap
on the fence, for he hadn't noticed her
come i'm.
When she called: Chick, chick, chick
Come. chick, chick, chickr' he turned
and almost tumbled off the fence.
Then he made dive and landed right
in the midst OF the pan of yellow
stuff.
1t was cornmeal mush, which Milly
had brought out nice and warm.
Smoke landed right in the middle of
it, and the more lie tried to get out the
more trouble he had. for it was very
sticky.
Milly picked him out with mush in
his wings and in his feathers.
"Oh, dear! Now you'll have to have
a bathr' cried AIilly.
So she took him into the house and
washed him in warm water, and
Smoke felt so queer and had TO sit in

SAVE YOUR IRISH CROCHET.
This Lace Is Coming Into Vogue Again
With Spring.

Have you heard the news? Irish
crochet is coming back into favor for
all sorts of things-lingerie blouses,
neckwear and even frock trimming. 1t
isn't used exactly as it used to be, but
any one possessing one of those lovely
large, round Dutch collars or a set of
collar and cuffs is fortunate in that she
can turn the collar and cuffs into some
thing entirely different without cut
ting the lace. .
For chemise tops and nightgown
yokes the Irish crochet is indeed love
ly. Two of those old time "choker'
collars could be utilized to set in the
back and the front of either garment.
If you do not possess such things as
choker collars watch the little lace
shops, which deal in such articles. You
may be able to strike bargain.
A round collar can be set in as a
round yoke in a nightgown, with cuffs
to match as finishes for the short XII
mono sleeves. Sometimes cuffs can be
used as shoulder straps on a chemise,
with the round collar set I'm as motif
On blouses the Irish lace collar can
be used in a bolero effect, for a vest,
revers, bib or little coatee, depending
entirely on the cut and shape.
On frocks the uses of Irish lace are
legion. On such fabrics as linens, Or
candies and voiles for spring>and sum-
mer wear Irish collars can be used to
outline deep pockets, in bib effects, to
define panels and apron fronts, to edge
deeper collars and in the same ways as
they are used on blouses.
If you have some fine piece Of this
once popular lace stored away get it
out and start to bleach it in the frost
so that you will have it all fresh and
ready to use when spring sewing
starts in.

among our prisoners that the epidemic
of typhus did not have more victims.
In her hospital she continually nursed
T0per cent of our soldiers. Those who
recovered were well nOuriShed and Civ
en- clean linen and shoes before they
were sent TO the prison camp. The at
tendantS in her hospital she recruited
entirely out of our soldiers, who were
well fed and housed. She always gave
them clean linen, good clothes and good
shoes. Lady Paget repeatedly visited
our prison camp and did all she could
to induce the ServianS to be humane In
their treatment of our people. The
lady herself was the soul of the mis-
sion.
AS q result of Lady Paget'S friend
ly treatment of the AuStrO-Hungarian
prisoners she became the victim of SuS-
piciOn in England and had to justify
herself in London meeting. There
she dcclared-for We have read the
speech which she made there-that she
would continue her activity and if the
standpoint that she took was not &C
ceptable she would give UP her post as
the leader of this mission"
Lady Paget is American born, the
daughter of Paran Stevens, at one
time owner of the fremont House in
Boston. Her husband is General Sir
Arthur H. Paget. Lady Paget's bene-
factions have been remarkable. Dur
Ing the Boer war she equipped a hos
pital ship and called it the Maine. She
made great collection of furniture of
the period of James l. for the James
town exposition. She has been eX-
tremely popular in British society, par
tcularly in the reign of Edward VII.

STYLES FOR CHILDREN.
What Small People Will
Wear This Springtime.

The inclination just now Is toward
Guided, as matter Of course, in frocks,
not only for the littlest girl, but for
her elder sister, who may be almost in
her teens.
Chambray, Scotch ginghams, linens,
batiSteS and lawns are the favorite
fabrics. Sometimes there is yoke, to
. which the material is gathered and
held in position by rows of shocking
in colored threads. 1t has taken some
time for this form of decoration to be-
come popular In this country. For
many years it has been a favorite
means or ornamentation in England
and, to less extent, in France.
The type of smock that fastens on
either shoulder and is slipped over the
head Is shown for both little boys and
girls In the garment for the former
the smock is cut much shorter than
when it is for the girl, and the bloom
ers are not as full as those worn by
the latter.
While white remains the only thing
considered in connection with the
clothes of infants, color has crept into
the little dresses, coats and hats Of
children who have entered their second
or third year. Even the standard pale
blue and pale pink now have rivals in
such shades as maize, old blue and
rose. Now and then one meets light
green color or pale lavender, but on
the whole these have not a very large
representation in Juvenile clothes
The dress intended for beach wear
continues to be made of serge in white,
in navy and quite recently in shades
Of red. The trimming is simple and
employs soutache braiding, machine
stitching and embroidery motifs.
Sometimes there is no trimming other
than the belt and the collars and cuffs
of some washable stuff.
The matter of long waist or short
waist is one that the mother may de-
eide for her child, according to the
formers preference. The very little
girls wear yoke dresses, but those who
have attained as many as five years or
more wear long WASTED frocks with
belt. On the whole, perhaps these
are preferred, excepting for the party
frock, which has a short waist, very
fluffy skirt and sash finish.
Of course there must be a party
frock in every liliputian wardrobe.
They are made of the daintiest fabrics,
exquisitely sheer and trimmed with
fine laces and embroideries. The eff
fort is to keep away from too much Or
namentation. Ribbons are permissible
in dainty colors. and usually they are
in very narrow widths and Inanipu
lated in roSette or chou effect.

ABOUT MEND|NG
Short Cuts to This Bane of the
Busy Housewife. y
THE WAY TO REPAIR SKIRTS.

Dresses, BIouses and Skirt Buttons All
/ Play Out and Need to Be Made to
Look Modish and Fresh For Spring
Wear, You Know.
Effective short cuts in dress repair
ing practiced by mending shops offer
variable suggestions to the home seam
stress. As the basic principle of the
newfangled mending is efficiency or
the maximum result for the minimum
labor, ingenuity counts more than fine
needlework. The efficiency method is
not to mend a worn place with hun
dreds of tiny stitches, but where pos
sible to conceal the blemish by an ap-
piled trimming or to remove the defect
and inset new material in some manner
which shallnot indicateits real purpose.
Many of the new trimming details
accommodate themselves to the needs
of the amateur repairer In this class
the applied pocket stands near the top
of the list of first aids to damaged gar
ments.
The patch pocket is easily made and
effectively used on separate skirts and
blouses as we'll as on one piece dresses
and outer garments. The shape may
be varied to meet the needs of the in
dividual case, and the fabric may be
the same as the garment and plain,
beaded or embroidered, or it may diff
fer both in color and material. For
covering an obstinate stain or conceal
ing a torn place the applied pocket,
round, square, triangular, large or
small, is a boon to the efficiency
member.
For the skirt that has crept up above
even the high water mark Of fashion
the attached band at the lower edge
is an effective remedy. If the cut of
the skirt admits of it yoke may be
introduced at the top. Where spots or
the ravages of time have made the
front of a skirt unwearable the pro-
fessional repairer recommends the in
setting of a front breadth Of either
similar or contrasting material An in
genious girl successfully remodeled a
dress in this way, overcoming what
seemed an unsurmountable difficulty
by trimming the new front breadth
with cross bands of silk. This made
it possible to utilize short lengths Of
the fabric which would have been use
less without the bands to cover the
seams.
A favorite trick of the professional
repairer is to substitute sleeves and
under the arm portions of contrasting
material, such as taffeta or georgette
crepe, where the original material IS
worn or discolored. On the other hand,
where the front Of a blouse becomes
spotted before the other portions show
signs of wear the professional member
is apt to apply lace and appliques to
cover the damage.

A FESTIVE IDEA.
This Fetching Way of Arranging Your
DINING Table.


1t is a new idea now among observ-
ing housewives to have, instead of the
round or square luncheon cloth. one
long runner for. the square or oblong
table, with enough large and small
doilies matching it to fill in along the
sides. OF course both ends of the ia
BILE are covered by the runner, an ex-
cellent idea when part of the meal is
served from the table instead Of from
the ''side"
While this arrangement is especially
appropriate for the oblOng table, it can
be used for the square. oval or round
table with some modification. In the
square table the symmetry is often
better preserved by two runners cross
ing in the middle. In the oval or round
table the ugly line where the runner
falls over the rounded edge is done
away with by cutting the runner.
rounding the edge to fit the table and
setting ON the end to fit with fine
seam or a bit of beading. This ar
rangement means that the runner could
be used only for the one size Of table,
but it is worth the trouble.
Square hemstitched doilieS with a
simple corner motif are used with the
plain hemstitched runner. 1t is good
plan to make plate doilies and napkins
of the same size and decoration, so
that if one gives out the other may
come to the rescue. A large dolly for
the plate will do away with an extra
tumbler or teacup dolly.

ABOUT CAKE BAKING.
How to Prepare and Bake All Kinds of
Good SWeetmeats.

SOOu S"66ITncdI6s
Where do you set your loaf cakes
and what place in your own oven do
you give to mullins and small cakes?
From your answer your success would
be gagged by a scientific baker.
Thin layer cakes, cookies, biscuits,
macaroOns and other small cakes
should always be baked in shallow
pans set at the top Of the oven. This
gives the heat chance to circulate
around the cookies rather than cOncen-
trate under them.
Loaf cakes bake more evenly in sheet
tin or aluminium pans than in iron
pans. The shelf in the center OF the
oven is right for loaf cakes, and no
cake should ever be set on the bottom
OF the oven.
1t is a good idea to start sponge cake
and loaf cake in a very slow oven and
then increase the heat as the cake starts
to rise. About ten minutes before the
cake should be done the gas can be
turned off entirely as there is sufficient
heat left in the oven to finish the bak-
ing. Whenever it seems desirable to
reduce the heat 1t Is better to turn
down both burners halfway rather than
to turn one out completely.
