PARIS CUES.
Small Details That
Really Make or Mar.

Some of the smart foulards are In
very large designs and must be made
up very cautiously, but there are plen-
ty Of designs less striking, and even
where the design is very large the col
oring may perhaps be neutral enough
to save it from being spectacular.
On the other hand, there are strik-
ingly brilliant colorings as well as
striking designs In some Of the new
foulards and other figured silks, and
certain of the French houses, notably
Bulloz and Premet, have not hesitated
to employ these bold materials, some
times successfully from a pictorial
viewpoint
Belts, girdles and sashes are omni-
present and often are the most indi-
vidual features of the models. Some
of them are very wide and very elab-
crate, others quite narrow and simple,
and their position varies from high
directoire to dropped medieval though
the latter line has less favor than it
has had, and normal or high waist
lines are the rule.
Sleeves on day frocks are more often
long than not, but many three-quarter
sleeves are shown, too, on afternoon
models.
For the evening bodice there is often
a tiny sleeve, If only an elongation of
the shoulder, but the sleeveless shout
der strap corsage has not disappeared.
Square and second empire decolletage
are most in evidence. Paquin and sew
eral others show liking for the collar
effects standing away from the neck
on day frocks, and there are quanti-
ties of collarless arrangements cut
straight across or in a shallow oval or
little square, often with some collar
adjunct across the back.
Here and there a polonaise of IN
broken front line appears, and the fat,
comparatively plain front is the gen.
orally accepted thing, even where the
rest of the skirt is draped or very full
Skirts of tailored costumes are plated
I'm part or all around or are cut to fall
straight and comparatively narrow,
though not yet too narrow for COM
fort. The shirring of the slight full
ness at the waistband in the back Is
still used on the plain models.

LION IN THE SKY.

I told you before that every month
the sun rolls through a group Of stars
that has an odd name. In July it is In
the group of stars known as the Lion.
Once there grew up in Greece a lad
of great strength and cleverness named
Hercules. One Of the wonderful things
he did was to choke to death with his
infant hands two serpents that tried
to kill him In his cradle. AS he grew
older he became stronger, and he was
so good natured that he was always
trying to help those about him.
But after awhile Hercules came into
the power Of a wicked king, who set
him all sorts Of hard tasks.
The first of these was to kill fierce
lion which had been frightening and
killing the people In a valley called
Nemea.
Hercules took the big club, which
was so heavy that no one else could
handle 1t, and his big bow that no one
else could bend.
When he came to the wild, lonely
valley Of Nemea the lion, which hap
pened to be very hungry, came out to
meet Hercules. All the people had
moved out of that part of the country
because they were so afraid of the lion,
so it was hard for the animal to get a
meal.
Hercules stepped briskly up and, fit
ting an arrow to his bow, sent it
straight at the lions head, but the
| brute's skin was so thick that the
sharp point could not pierce it. Her
cules tried arrow after arrow, hoping
that at last he might find a tender spot
When the last arrow was gone he
picked up his club and as the lion drew
near let it fail with a heavy stroke on
the creatures head. The club slid off
the lions thick name and fell to the
ground. Hercules had then only his
own strong hands with which to fight
He grasped the snarling lion by the
throat and, using all his strength, soon
strangled the brute.
Hercules started home with the lions
skin thrown over his shoulder. When
he entered the town where he lived the
people and the wicked king were fright
ened. They thought the Nemean lion
itself had come to attack them. In
stead Of praising Hercules for what
he had done the king ordered him aft
er that not to enter the city until he
had permission.
But the people were so pleased with
this wonderful service which Hercules
had done them that they named group
Of stars the Lion, and so it has been
called ever since, and In July the sun
enters the space in the sky where the
Lion group is found.

BEGIN TO TRAIN.
With Your Country at War, Get In Line
For Special Work.

For Special Work.
The Importance Of training women In
home economics, nursing and the gen.
eral conservation of food, clothing and
health is emphasized in bulletin IS
sued by the department of the interior.
Now, as never before" says the bull
letin, "every woman needs a working
knowledge of home economics; hence
food classes should be opened for all
women desiring them. Special atten-
ton should be given to diet require
ments for maintenance of health and
efficiency, methods Of eliminating all
waste from the household and intelli-
gent use Of the more abundant foods
for those which are either scarce or Of
better keeping qualities. Inevitably
there will be need during all of the
next few years of soup kitchens, free
school lunches and other forms Of
community feeding. A few weeks or
months of intensive study Of the spe-
cial problems connected with handling
larger quantities Of food will prepare
number of women already trained In
dietetics for this work. Summer
schools may well offer such courses
and grant advanced credits If this
seems desirable.
Extension service for women living
In cities Is as much needed as is the
work now being done by the agricul-
tural department for the wives OF
farmers. Workers for this service
should be prepared by the institutions
for higher education. These women
need to be well trained in economics
and sociology, as well as In home eco
nomics, and should be urged to vOlun-
teer for this extension type Of work
Extra classes giving several hours
daily to practical instruction in the
home care of the sick should be organ
lied for all women students, and the
most recent knowledge concerning the
care Of infants and children should he
available to them. This is Of eSpecia!
Importance for various reasons. II
war comes upon American territory the
well trained graduate nurse will he
called to war hospitals, and the Ordi
nary nursing Of home sickness will de-
volve upon home women. In addition
to this duty will be the care Of return
ed convalescent wounded.
Normal schools, colleges and univer'
stiles can during their summer schools
train women to instruct in Red Cross
sewing in order that the public schOol
sewing Of next year may be most ei'
fectively executed. In addition 10
this, courses designed to prepare teach
ers to instruct In the remodelinG Of
garments will be timely. One of the
great services women can render Is ID

icls, wife Of the secretary of the navy,
and the young man her eldest son,
Josephus Junior. I told Mrs. Daniels
later Of my mistake.
Josephus, my poor boy, did you
hear that? cried his mother in tragic
tones while her eyes laughed. And
right away we were acquainted.
1.-THE navy secretary's wife is what
they call in the south folksy,' and /
love the word. Folksy people are the
innately kind Of heart They assume
you are all right to know and erect no
formal barriers while they investigate
and catalogue you. They open their
minds to you in the same hospitable
way they do their houses and, like the
American law, hold you innocent until
proved guilty.

mother hearted parent Of four, for I'm

ness in life is to see after her loved
ones. II, as you say, have managed
to be pals with my lads it is because
they have not been brought up. I've
just loved 'em up.
ave never suppressed them-told
them to hush up, that children should
be seen and not heard. We have en-
couraged them to think and speak their
thoughts. From Josephus, who is
twenty-five, to Frank, who is only
twelve, all the boys have their careers
fully mapped OUT"
Mrs. Daniels comes from family Of
soldiers, statesmen and writer's. Her
grandfather was one of North Caro-
ltna's governors. Her uncles, her IA
Their, her mothers people, all were emf
nent I'm various professional lines, and
the beloved o. Henry was her second
cousin.

Farragut in the great fight of Mobile
bay, Mrs. Anderson comes Of distin-
guished ancestry. Her marriage united
her to another distinguished family,
Larz Anderson being the nephew of
General Anderson of Fort Sumter fame.
The Anderson estate at Brookline,
Mass, with its magnificent vistas, its
spacious halls and brilliant Italian gar
dens, forms one Of the most impos-
ing homes to be found anywhere
Two million dollars were spent on the
buildings and grounds, and the Cupid
fountain standing on the site Of the
original Anderson homestead Is world
famous for its artistic beauty. The
house and garden, with the bowling
green between, crown high hill which
on all sides falls away sharply.
Not only has Mrs. Anderson become
famous for her charitable work and
her interest In the welfare Of the poor,
but she has made her mark In the lit
erary world.
She Is devoted to children and takes
more pleasure In providing pleasure
for them than In planning splendid
fetes for the famous. Her most am
bilious literary effort, book Of fairy
tales and other stories, published sew
eral years ago and dedicated with
much love" to her husband, Is the re-
suit Of her careful study Of how to
amuse children and at the same time
10 instruct them.
Mr.. Anderson, who was q captain Of
volunteers In the Spanish war, has
served as secretary to the American
embassies at London and Rome. He
was appointed minister to Belgium In
August, 1911.

PAY FOR GOOD WORK.
Don't Try to Remunerate Your Wash
Lady With Castoff Clothes,

Lady With Castoff Clothes.
Women have sometimes made a repu-
tation for generosity by giving away
various things useless to themselves,
things they have grown tired of, things
always undesired bestowed upon them
by one or another of their well mean
ing friends and relatives.
Whatever may be said of this pro-
cedure, it at least puts to shame the
person who offers to pay wages with
discarded things. For instance, there
is the woman who tried to pay part of
the S1.50 and car fare Of the washer
woman with a half worn winter
coat and the one who gave the young
schoolgirl who tended her mischievous
four-year-old an entire Saturday after
noon a last months magazine and a
soiled ribbon for her services.
To a very great many people money
is the most urgent need Of their lives.
Only money will pay rent, only money
will buy food, only money will provide
against want In old age.
Payment for service Of any kind
should be in money. Payment for serv-
ice should be prompt Payment for
service should be maintained at the
prevailing standard. Women should
stand by the women who work for
them.

Square Deal For the Shops.

III women had only the courage to
stop shopping when they are tired 7"
said a young woman the other day.
''They buy things then that they do not
and never will like, and it Is q bother
to the women and a needless expense
to the shops. The goods are inevitably
returned and credited. When shops are
so decent about accepting goods and
crediting them it is only fair to such
establishments to give them a square
deal"

Aprons Made of Shirts.

A wonderfully neat kitchen apron can
be quickly made by using a mans dis
carded shirt. Turn it so that the OPEN
ing will be in the back; cut Off the
cuffs, making the sleeves as short as
you wish, and trim out the neck In a
round or square yoke effect. If pre-
ferred, the garment can be put on as
originally worn by sewing up the front
opening and making a new one down
the back. This can be fastened with
one or two buttons. The shirt is al
ready hemmed, and the side openings
