PRETTY PETTlCoAT DESIGNS
New Fad Shows Garment Trimmed
With sprigs Of Paradise
Feather3.

Some fancy net and lace designs in
petticoats are elabOrately trimmed
with vines Of tiny roses and ribbon and
are very wide, being four to FIVE even
six yards, in width.
A new fad shows the petdcOat
trimmed with sprigS Of paradise feath-
ers in place Of the ordinary silk fringe.
The paradise frOnds are interspersed
with tiny flowers that trim a series Of
plated founces. The petticOat itself
is of silk mOusseline.
A new petticoat is made Of two
shades of chiffon. The Arrangement
suggests two separate garments hung
from one belt. There are two flounces
that extend to the hips, so that there
is no chance of a thickening Of the
hip line by a supertiuous layer Of even
so sheer a fabric as chiffon.
Green, purple, wistaria, copenhagen,
coral, rose, gold, Belgian blue, etc, are
all good petticOat colors. Dark colOrs
are worn with plain tailored suits, but
are frequently bound or piped with n
bright color Braces are added to some
petticoats. The best grade Of mercer
lied petticoats have similar stripe and
floral patterns to those Of silk and are
made up in as great a variety Of pat

RULES IN USE OF MOURNING
Some Information as to What Is Cor.
rect When Somber Garb is
Donned.

There are some arbitrary rules in
the use of mourning. For instance,
suede gloves are not properly worn in
first mourning. Glace kid are the cor
rect choice. On the other hand, all
ornaments such as pins, beads and
buckles should be dull Jet, as the shiny
sort is not considered correct when in
mourning. Patent leather should not
be worn. The correct choice is dull
kid for the house and calfskin for the
street. So patent leather purses and
bags are not in any sense correct for
mourning. Black velvet is anything
but suitable for mourning, and satin
falls under the same classification.
Although women in mourning do not
entertain formally and do not accept
social invitations during the first few
months of their mourning, they do
wear evening dresses, If they are ac-
custOmed to it, The gowns selected
for this should be made of dull, soft
materials such as charmeuse or crepe
de chine. They may properly be
trimmed with black net, tulle or ma
lines, dull jet ornaments, or dull black
ribbon. The old idea of making mourn
ing stuffy and cumbersome with much
crepe is a thing of the past 1t should
be as incOnspicuOus, quiet, comfortable
and becoming as possible.

this purpose; lightly made small bar
rel that has contained fruit or tobacco
may be procured for a tritle, should
one not already possess a suitable ar
ticle.
The exterior of the barrel is draped
with soft silk, arranged in plaits and
fastened on at the top and bottom with
tacks. The interior of the tub can be
lined with sateen, or if preferred it
can be lined with pieces of dark green
or brown paper cut to fit and fastened
in place with paste.
The tub is finished off at the top and
bottom with ornamental braid fastened
on with brass-headed nails of a fancy
pattern driven in close together. Metal
handles are screwed on on either side;
suitable ones for this purpose can be
purchased at any irOnmOnger's.
Less expensive material than silk
can be used for draping the tub if de-
sired, and it will look pretty and bright
covered with cretOnne selected of
q color to harmonize with that of the
carpet upon which the basket will take

New Tailored Suit.

In view of the American woman's
inyariable objection to drapery in her
suits, and in Difference to the desire
for something extremely simple and in
one piece, the tailored skirt for spring,
while having broken lines, will ex-
press drapery in very limited degree.
Thus, instead of being gored and
scanned, so as to assume the barrel

Sudden Death

Before an insurance company will
take risk ON your life the examining
physician will test your water and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headaches, dizzy spells, or twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and gout
or sleep is disturbed two or three times
a night-take heed, before too late!
You can readily overcome such con-
ditions and prolong life by taking the
advice Of a famous physician, which is:
keep the kidneys in good order, avoid
too much meat, salt, alcohol or tea.

The operations for mining as known
to the early Hebrews are given in the
twenty-eighth chapter of Job. The de-
scriptiOn is highly poeticaL. In Egypt
the mines for gold were worked by
groups of convicts and captiyes in fet-
ters. The harder rocks were broken
by fire, after which picks and ehisels
were used. The miners were quite
naked, as are the negroes of today who
work in the diamond mines of South
Africa.

There is nothing new about the skirt
that rolls up at the hem, but America
and Paris seem bent on its revival.
These skirts are made for the street,
for dancing and for afternoon use.
The new touch is that they are bar
relied at the center. The fullness
hangs in small plaits from the waist,
is pulled out to wider eircumfer-
ence at the knees, and the fullness at
the hem is then turned up and at
tached to a short, tight lining.
