Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Real comfort is bespoken by
this simple garment. 1t means
warmth no matter how much
the little wearer may thrash
about and it means freedom,
too. In the picture, it is made
of domet flannel and it is de-
signed for real cold nights, but
you could use the pattern for
any material that is liked for
children's sleeping garments,
also you can cut off the feet
and use straight legs if you
prefer, but most mothers will
like the stocking finish because
it means cozy toes even on a
Winter night. Outing flannel
makes good night drawers of
the sort and there is also an
unshrinkable wool flannel that
is desirable, but, as a matter of
course, somewhat more expen-
sive. For the milder weather
cambria and muslin and fabrics
OF such sort are desirable.
For the 4-year size will be
needed, 35s yards of material 27
inches wide, 2M yards SO.
The pattern No. o576 is cut in
sizes from 2 to 6 years. 1t will
be mailed to any address by the
Fashion Department of this
paper, on receipt of ten cents.

Face Paint Tabooed

women painted their faces" says
Dolly Madison. "It was a sign OF

1t is so easy to obtain a truly natural
complexion by the use of ordinary
mercolized wax, which may be had at
any drugstore in original one-ounce
package. This mercolized wax is so
effective and so harmless. no one need
think of using anything else for the
purpose. Applied like cold cream at

Life'sProblems
Are Discussed
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW

There are ways and ways of max
ing a living. heard the other day
of a man who does it by transform
ing "t1ivvers" into the semblance of
high-power racing cars. He is liable
TO do this because he possesses con-
siderable ingenuity and a rather high
order of mechanical skill; and since
he makes n speciality of it devoting
all his time and thought to the prac-
tice, he turns out an article which
on ordinary inspection would de-
ceive any one but an expert.
First he obtains his oliver" it
matters not how old and decrepit
and second-handed a specimen so
long as the engine will turn over and
the price is under a hundred dollars;
then by bit of clever manipulation
he lowers the chassis and attaches a
rim to the wheels which calls for a
heavy tire.
The rest is merely an assem- bling
of suitable junk. He builds up fore
and aft, runs an exhaust pipe out
at the SIDE, puts couple of bucket
seats in the center, adds a heavy
steering post-the one he used in
a recent creation was piece of dis
carded brass railing from a ship

gray. and 10. he has a machine which
looks as If it might serve Barney
Oldfield to break q record.
His total investment, labor includ-
ed, is probably less than two hun
dred dollars and he has no difficulty
in selling all the cars of the sort
he can turn out to the human ''tiiv-
Vers' who compose his clientele.
The only difficulty. he mourns, is
that his customers don't match the
cars. The cars present a nearly COM
plete illusion of being the real
thing; his customers can't disguise
their "fiivver" qualities.
Nature Is Master Hand at
"Camou1lagc"
And that, by the way. is one of
the great distinctions between man
and the rest of creation. Nature is
a master hand at 'camouflage." She
employs a thousand clever illusions
and deceptions to aid and protect the
brute and vegetable kingdoms.

He looked up at her with actual

her screen debut in the big Goldwyn
production, Fighting Odds" appear

trigue and trickery on the part of
powerful men. and of the loyalty and
perseverance, of beautiful woman

in which she appears to outdo any
thing she ever attempted on the stage.

DOBBIN HAS A DAY DREAM
Faithful Old Horse Will Have Regular
Thrill When He Casts Off
His Shoes.

When the automobile and the tin
Lizzie shall at last have RELOCATED the
"hoss" TO the limbo of things obsolete,
will the noble animal degenerate ana
bark back to his ancestral type, or
will he simply disappear like the dodo3
asks "Zim" in Cartoons magazine.
1t has taken lot of time and pa
tience to develop lDobbin from, the
primitive models such as the hydraco-
trerium, the pachynolophus and the
eohippus, to make him whoa" back
and "gitap" and take his meals out Of
a nosebag. In the process of civiliza-
ton he has gradually lost his toes and
has had to accommodate his feet to
the horseshoe. Does he still dream
perhaps Of the delights of having toes
of sinking them down into the green
sqush Of the tertiary era and feeling
the cool goo trickled up between them
If so, how glad he will be some day
to look down and see his lOng-forgotten
toes beginning to sprout once again
His will be the thrill of the small boy
on the first warm day of spring when
he can cast off his shoes and go bare
foot.
When the "hoss' discovers for the
first time that he can again wiggle
his toes, he will doubtless radiate a
smile of solid comfort.

A Wise orana.outana.

Prof. William T. Hornaday, the
noted animal preceptOr, cites this In
stance of ape sagacity:
81 once became quite chummy with
an unframed, Gagged, meaagerie orang-
outang by the name Of D0hong. He
was a son of the jungle and intense
ly concerned in matters that came Int
his narrow life. All that he learned
outside of his inherited instincts he
learned himself. His cage contained
number of horizontal bars attached
to brackets ON which he took cOnsid-
cradle solemn exercise. One day he
concluded that the bars ought to como
down. Bracing his feet against the
solid wall of the cage, he pulled every
bar from it's fastening and flung 1T On
the floor. Larger bars were substa-
tuted, which the ape vainly tried to
remove. After straining his back IN
this futile effort, he walked up ana
down in his cage and was apparently
intently studying the situation. Event
ually he procured the crOSSbar OF hlB
trapeze and using it for lever, ha
not only pried every horizontal bar
from it's brackets, but he likewise
prfed the iron bars of his cage apart
so that he could stick his head
through the opening and satisfy his
curiosity regarding his neighbor in the
adjoining cage"
