CARE IN FURNISHING ROOM
Hard to Realize How Much Color and
Detail One Bookcase Will Give
Room.

Do not make the mistake Of over
furnishing a room that is to hold a
large number of books. 1t is hard to
realize how much color and detail just
one bookcase full of books will give a
room, and if we intend having many
such cases in q room it is well to let
them be the main point of interest and
color around which the other furnish
ings revolve.
One beautifully proportional room
contained many lovely things, but the
effect was spoiled by too much de-
tail.
In the first place the walls were
covered with a large patterned paper,
which would have looked very well in
some other kind of a room, but which
was not the thing at all for this par
ticular one.s
Then there were bookcases. They
were very large and covered almost
three sides of the room, so you can
imagine how many books were in sight.
Their bindings made a soft glow of
color on the walls, and that, with the
lovely rug, would have been almost
enough detail for that room.
1t would have been much more
beautiful and restful if the books
could have been seen against a plain
neutral wall,

ARRY-YOUR-PURCHASE BAGS
Patriotism Apron Knitting
Bag.

Now that patriotic women are help
ing release men from delivery service
for war, designers are tabooing leather
of prohibitive price and developing
some quite wonderful ideas in economy
bags. These are not as large as were
the knitting bags, but they are made
with the idea of convenience in car
rying packages, and have adjustable
snaps so that much space is given to
the bag.
The bags do not carry out any SOM
Der idea or common thing which
might be termed shopping" bag, but
are fetching shapes, in bright or sub
dued colors.
A novel idea has been worked out
in knitting bags by adding to one side
of the bag an extended portion so cut
as to form an apron.
When one is working on wool it is
a simple matter to tie on the apron,
as the bag is also attached, and the
work is all in ones lap with no dan
ger of falling to the floor. The apron
portion folds into bag itself, and
such plan gives a woman two neces-
sary articles for work, all in one piece.
For wear other than shopping the
leather bag is fast giving place to the
velvet bags, in fancy shapes with gay
Innings, and some of the velvets having
leather as trimmings.

Will Conserve Gasoline.

Whether John D. Rockefeller likes
1t or not, Rev. DIR. Thomas Glynn of
Beaver Falls, Pa, has needed the call
of the government to conserve gasoline
by inventing a gasoline engine that
will reduce the cost of ocean joy rid
ing just one-half. Doctor Glynn calls
his new invention a hydrobuoyant en-
CINE. He makes "old man Gravity" per-
form most of the work. The main
power of the engine is received from
the buoyancy and gravity of water.
The buoyancy engines are assisted and
speeded by gasoline motors on the
same principle as the well-drilling ma
chimes receive their auxiliary motion
from gas engines. Doctor Glynn claims
that his engine will revolutionize the
economic efficiency in fuel. By the
use of fly wheels. high and low gears
and clutches it will be possible TO pro-
pei the largest ocean liner across the
big pond with 80 gallons of gasoline.

NEAT LITTLE DRESS
Very Becoming to a Youthful,
Slender Figure.
This Design Is Excellent for a Two.
Color and Two-F abric Combination
for Afternoon Wear in the
Early Fall.

The smart little dress shown In the
sketch is excellent for two-color and
two-fabric combination suitable for
afternoon wear. The skirt emphasizes
the continued use of the Zouave or
Turkish effect, as the fabric is turned
under SO that the bottom is finished
without a visible hem. In soft fab
RIGS this Turkish or Zouave skirt is
usually becoming to youthful, slen-
der figure.
TO make this little frock satin in
any preferred color and white or light
colored crepe de chine or Georgette
might be attractively combined. A
fitted bodice lining is fastened in the
center front, the shirred vest fastens
at one Side, Closing invisibly, and, as
will be noted, the lower part or girdle
section buttons in front. The skirt
has a five-inch-deep shirred girdle all
around, and the garment is made a
one-piece affair, although the basque
effect of the bodice rather SUGGESTS
that bodice and skirt are separate.
To make this dress five yards of
satin or other fabric SO inches wide
will be required for the major por-
lions, and one yard of contrasting
color for vests and lower part of
sleeves. The cuffs match bodice and
skirt.
A dress of this type may frequent
ly be developed for first fall wear

GRIT WILL AID INDIGESTION
Material for Grinding Purposes Alone
Constitutes Small Part of Hens
Natural Foraging.

Fowls on range are constantly pick
ing up bits of different materials which
are often classified broadly as grit. Yet
we must remember that true grit flor
grinding purposes alone) is absolutely
indigestible, and therefore constitutes
a small part of the hens natural for
aging. What she picks up is more
likely in the nature of ash or carbon or
lime or charcoal.
In cases of indigestion caused by
pasty mashes Jumping in the crop, grit
helps greatly. Where much soft, slop-
DIV food is fed to fowls, they will some
times consume grit ravenously because
it helps to prevent the food from pass
ing through the system too rapidly.
The extreme necessity for grit in such
cases would be somewhat relieved,
however, by feeding more bulky food,

Don't DesDair.

A little trick discovered by a girl
who has more ingenuity than time to
make use of it, should be of help to
others similarly situated. This girl
says she would like to make her own
tine collars of gorgette or pique or
satin, but to get any amount of hand
work takes too much time. She
buys her collars ready-made at the
oeckwear counter, but-and long
butt is not easy to get the right
shape with the right neckline to fit
her various frocks. Therefore, she
buys usually a collar larger than she
needs, cuts off the neckband and
shapes her neck to suit her frock,
tucking it to make it smaller if need
ed. Her collars always look as if they
grew from her dress.

DICTATES OF FASHION

Buttons are used freely in decora-

White silk net fashions a delightful
evening frOck.
Black and white is in high favor for
evening gowns.
The Parisienne cllngs to her suit and
dress of jersey.
Very many new frocks have three
quarter sleeves.
Pink shantung is used for a vest In
a blue serge suit.
sFoulard is combined with serge,
charmeuse or linen.
Bingham boomers are frequently
made to wear under gingham dresses.
A novel scarf has little pockets at
the ends into which the hands can be
thrust.

1t has been always the aim of large
women to appear slender and graceful,
but sad to say they have seldom sue
ceeded. The large woman with that
ambition nowadays will receive some
aid in her efforts from the new svelt-
line system of designing.
This new feature of late has been
applied to dainty lingerie for the large
woman. The sveltline system of de-
signing clothes to produce a slender
appearance has been extended even to
undergarments. AS a result, this pref
ty sveltline model in lingerie, gives to
the large figure new lines of slimness
and youth, without the inconvenience
of dieting to achieve the same effect.

BITTER LESSON FOR DADDY
Listening Parent Brought to Realize
That the Children Must Hsve
Their Hour of Life.

Then. looking out of his bedroom
window, the father saw tableau az
the gate, Phil saying goodnight to
Alice, his head bent to her uplifted
face A depth of tender understand
ing was expressed in their attitude
and expression. Well, that was the
way of the world after all. And what
was it Helen had said? Something
about letting them have their hourf
were helpless spectators lefore this
all-conjuring scheme of the universe.
He'd simply have to make up his
mind to it,
He lit his old pipe again. But even
that had lost its flavor. He heard
the last good-by. Then his girl
called her mother to the porch. And
he did not mean to be an caves
dropper, but he could not help it in
the summer stiffness of the night.

like a lion in his cage? Oh, you
should have seen his face. mother,

crept in under a mans defenses and
made him seem a poor thing after
all. For fleeting instant Rollins
sympathized with Phil Then the talk
rippled on.
I've told Phil that If he turns out
the sort of husband daddy is I'll di-
= vOrce him in a month. Mother, what
an angel you are to put up with his
humOrs the way you dol"
"Alicer' The assertive mothering
in the rebuke reached the ears Of
tlle man upstairs. "Your father Is
one of the best men that ever lived"
He heard the girl laugh again. "Oh,
you The only way anybody can get
rise out of you is to Islander daddy.
Dear old daddy! / love him most
to pieces, but he is an old crouch.
Tell me, mother, We're you very, very

en- will probably make over last sea-
sons frocks this fall as bit of 'war
economy" and fortunately Dame Fash
ion is encouraging this economy by
the vogue for two-color and tWo-fab'
rio combinations.
A skirt may be heightened by deep
yoke of contrasting fabric, or if the
bottom is worn and the yoke arrange
nlent is not desired a turned-up cuff
or deep ''hem" Of the contrasting ma
terial may be used.
No extremes are noted in the line
UP of fall styles, and the greatest pos
sible leeway is admitted in regard to
skirt length and width.
Skirt lengths may broadly be record
ed as conservative, reaching to the
ankle or a trifle above. Six to eight
inches from the ground is the average.

Cheapenina Character.

No matter what work you have to
do, do your best at it. Your effort is
not wasted, even If it does not show.
Sometimes young people tell them
selves that it makes no difference
whether they put their best endeavor
into their daily tasks, or only their
second or third best. 1t may not make
any particularly difference in the APP
pearance of the work itself, but it
makes all the difference in the world
