USEFUL HINTS TO KNITTERS
Things to Do and Not to Do, Accord
ing to Advice by an Authority
to Beginners.

Here are few suggestions offered
by an authority for beginners knitting
socks:
Keep scissors, tape measure and
wax in knitting bag and large-eyed
needle pinned on sock, ready to splice
yarn, and wax end of yarn before put
ting in needle.
Stitches are more easily taken up
if needle is put in top of stitch, but
first time knitting around knit the low
er part of it, or it will be one-sided.
If you drop the loop of knit stitch,
place it on needle hack Of stitch, in
sert the needle in stitch, as if to pull,
and put over loop; If it is a purled
stitch, place loop in front Of stitch
and bring stitch over loop toward
front.
A stitch dropped several rows can
be taken up with crochet needle placed
in stitch; with hook down, pick up
first loop, turn needle and take up an
other; continue until all are taken
up.

cozY, ARTISTIC LIVING ROOM
Sunshiny, Floor Covered With Neutral
Gray Filler Carpet, Walls Blue,
Woodwork White. ax

One of the most beautiful living
rooms the writer has ever seen, OBJ
serves a correspondent, was a bright,
sunshiny one, with floor covered with
a neutral gray filler carpet. The walls
were in plain old blue, the woodwork
white. The dull brick fireplace, with
the white overmantel, and the built-in
book shelves, were quite noticeable
features in the room and decidedly
helped the colonial furniture.
For there was mahogany gateleg
table in the center of the room, large
armchair and wall chair with rush
seat.
A huge wing armchair upholstered
in rose and blue chintz was drawn up
to the fireplace, and seemed to DOM
mate the room.
The chintz was repeated in the side
Grapes at the windows. And the
beauty of it is that room like this Is
within the reach Of almost anyone!

Familiar Sounds.

An Alsatian correspondent of DR..
David Starr Jordan writes that to his
Joyous establishment" he has discov-
cred among the bugle calls of the
American army in France 'airs which
are exactly those we used to hear
in times of peace in passing from
our barracks to the drill grounds.
Among these are notably the reveille,
the soap call, the call to the officers
and the rare call to the general, which
the public seldom hears. His ex-
plantation is a natural one. These
calls are those which Lafayette
brought to Washington's troops in the

FrOCk and Fabric
Simple Garments Regarded Best
for Present Wear.
Charm of Summer Clothes Has Worn
Off and Fall and Winter Plans
Receive Attention.

Just now is the betwixt and between
season. The newneSs of summer fash
ions has worn off, and plans are being
carried out for fall and winter clothes.
One lives in the present these days, in
fashions as well as everything else,
and with the simple timely frocks,
whose lovely fresh colorings and sheer
textures are valuable aids in present
ing to the world that "bien soiguee"
chic.
There is apparently no limit to the
variety of materials. All the old ia
vorites and many new ones have made
their appearance. Soft pastel shades
and neutral tones with here and there
a bright tint for emphasis, reveal a
sense of fitness which with women is
almost an instinct. Dotted muslin,
organdie whose surface is broken by
tiny hairline stripes or checks, en-
broidered batistes and voiles, as well
as null which is found in such a wide
range of beautiful shades are featured
in any number of delightful little
frocks whose chic simplicity is &C
centuated by their lack of trimming.
One type of gown is made of pale corn
sash of crisp white Organdie. 1t would
be quite as attractive if developed in
fine French wolfe or dimity.
Every woman to her taste this year,
especially in the choice of materials,
for happily the set rules of other days
have gone by the board. 1t isn't so
long ago that silk gown was CO.'S
tune reserved for occasions more or
less ceremoniouS. There is scarcely
any time during the day or night when
silken garments cannot be worn with
the utmost propriety. This summer is
decidedly q silk summer, and nothing
could be more attractive than the
clothes designed for country wear. One
dares not think what would happen to
some of the startling costumes if they
were subjected to only few, for most
of the silk fabrics are made to with
stand the effects Of rough wear.
The next two months are particular
~ trying. One does not feel like in
dulging in more summer clothes, and
with the exception of hats, autumn
modes are still in the distance. There
are some wonderfully alluring wells
whose interesting and novel patterns
help to create that little air of elusive
CESS characteristic of chic Parisienne.
Very pretty is veil that has large
mesh and delicate tracery undoubt-
eddy inspired by the crackle work Of
batik prints. The border is more def
mite, and while the veil may be worn
entirely over the face, far more
piquant effect is given If it is arranged
so that the border comes just to the
top of the nose. Another veil as chic
ard most becoming has spiral designs
made of graduated chenille dots. A
wide border formed of inch-wide
squares outlined in chenille, appears
on a veil as smart as it is new.
