FRIGHTENING UP THE FROCK
Any Girl With Clever Fingers Can
Get Attractive Effects by Use Of
StenciIed Designs.

The girl who is clever at stenciling
can brighten up an afternoon frock
or outing costume by having the era
vat, the sash and the cuffs finished
with stenciled ends. A more elaborate
effect may be gained by using fringes
in conjunction with the stenciling, the
two matching in color.
Also if one has the time and pa
thence combined with the knowledge,
the suit of oyster-colored shantung,
or Of satin georgette, may be over
spread with deep border of some
simple stenciled design. Usually it is
correct to have the skirt plain and
the decoration confined to the hem of
the coat, the collar and the cuffs.

HOST OF MILITARY FASHIONS
Where All the Patriotic Frocks and
Capes Came From So Suddenly
Is Interesting Question.

The shops have blossomed forth
with military fashions.
Just where they got all the red.
white and blue bedecked garments.
nobody knows. OF course, it was
comparatively easy matter for some
energetic manufacturer to have strips
of the three national colors stitched
to lot of silk gloves, or for another
to have red, white and blue pipings
added to an almost finished batch of
organdie neckwear. But where did ali
the military frocks and capes come
frOmY
They are here, anyway, and they
are very attractive. There are khaki
skirts, that would be admirable for
the woman who intends to do her part
in the farming world this summer;
they are decorated with shields and
other insignia in the national colors
on the pockets. There are all sorts
of capes with military look. Some
of them are braided, some are
trimmed generously with brass but
tons. There are blue serge frocks that
almost set one cheering, they so sug-
gest military parade. And so on it
goes.
When the European war began Paris
launched few military styles. They
were accepted at first with enthusi-
assn, but later on other styles super
coded them.

Guest Towels Are Useful.

Guest towels never fail to catch the
eye Of those house managers who take
pride In their linen closets. Some use
full and distinctive ones show Porto
Rican hand-loom borders. More elabo-
rate ones have genuine filet or Irish
lace insertions. Insignia embroidered
on linen have superseded the one-tipe
elegant monogram. Plain sheer linen
towels sometimes show queer cabalistie
symbols which only their owners can
1ecipher.

CASE FOR PAPER PATTERNS
Handy Receptacle for This Purpose

Many women possess some favorite
paper patterns that they frequently
use, and If they are not taken great
care of they are liable to become dam
aged and useless, or perhaps lost alto
gether, and they are sometimes rather
difficult to obtain again. 1t is, there
fore, well worth while to make a case
in which different kinds can be kept
separate from each other, so that any
particular pattern can be selected
without trouble.
The sketch shows good type of
case to prepare for this purpose. 1t
can be carried out with remnant Of
any fairly strong material and lined
with thin silk or sateen. It is bound

through as fast as l cam"
1t became Immediately apparent
that the man wasn't disposed to doubt
the sincerity of her conversation. The
luggage she had indicated as innocent
of dutiable goods he passed with the
most perfunctory examination, while
the millinery and other declared pur-
chases detained him only briefly.
Everything is quite o. K, thanks

let me have look at that necklace.
I've sent for the appraiser. He'll be

The box was already unlocked. Mrs.
Merrilees promptly removed the leath-
er-bound jewel case and handed it to
the inspector.
Touching the spring, he let the lid
fly up, exposing the pearl collar. As
If dazzled, he blinked furiously. "She's
a daisy!" he announced with JUNCTION,
FINEST piece of the sort that's come
through this year, or Pm no judge"
Momentarily his interest shifted to
the bill of the Partisan jeweler.
"Three hundred thousand francs
sixty thousand dollars" he unused
aloud. you got it cheap, ma'am, If
I'm any judge"
Nonsense !" Mrs. Merrilees retort-
ed Indignantly. 'As If an American
ever got anything cheap in Paris
and from Cottier's, Of all places! BY
every right you ought to assess the
duty on not more than forty thousand
dollars"
WELL" the inspector suggested in
diligently, "we1l just see what the APP
praiser says. There he is now. Hey,
Charlie, step over here a minute, will

In response to this hail, slender,
bespectacled young man in o section
nodded assent, picked his way through
the barrier of trunks, and, recognizing
Mrs. Merrilees, touched the vizor of a
cap bearing the word Appraiser"
MRS. Merrilees has declared her
necklace, Charlie" said the inspector,
handing over the case. "And here's
the bill; but she wants you to take q
slant at it for value"
Nodding again, the appraiser mar
rowed his eyes and surveyed the neck
lace with an expression of some mys-
tification. Then he pursed his lips in
noiseless whistle, looked bewilder-
ment at Mrs. Merrilees, and stepped
aside with the jewel case to a spot
where sunlight, through wide open
Ing, threw brilliant splash of gold
athwart the tempered gloom Of the
pier-shed. Here he subjected the
necklace to minute inspection with q
magnifying glass. Finally, wearing
an illegible expression, he turned
back.

Fox Worried by Food Problem.


1t is not often that the sly fox re-
veals to man his method Of securing
his daily rations; so that men Of Can
ton Centre, Conn.,, who were hauling
logs were quite surprised recently to
see a large red fox on the hillside only
about ten rods from the team. he was
not the least bit disturbed. Suddenly
he leaped into the air and pounced
onto the snow. This operation was re-
peated several times, the fox jump
ing several feet into the air each time.
He was doubtless trying to break
through the crust and catch the mice
which he heard burrowing under the
snow. The hard, deep snow makes II
much harder for the foxes to catch the
little animals except when they are
running for cover.-Hartford Courant
