FIG U R E. NEEDED FOR
 NEW SUITS

Let thew oman with ample curves beware of the alluring eton, and abide by semi-fitting jackets that come be- low, the waistline. Remembering some of the awful effects of Is years ago when etons were in vogue, one dreads the inevitable examples of mistaken taste-when all the world of women takes to etons again. These little jackets are so pretty, so jaunty, and so comfortable for spring and summer wear that every woman who can wear an eton is going to have one-and a good many women who ought to know better will yield to the etpn tempta- tion. To look graceful in one of these chopped-off jackets a woman must have girlish figure, no matter what her years. The fat girl of IS looks just as badly in an eton as an older woman-much worse than the older woman who has retained her girlish lines into middle age. The waistline must be supple, the back straight, the hips and bust fiat. the girdle must show at the trim waistline under the edge of the eton and the lines of the
 
 outward curve at the hips. And woe be to the eton that sets out an inch or two from the figure at the waist line because a curved or fat back, or a pronounced bust will not allow it to fall in fiat, correct lines.
 But if you are slim and girlish of figure by all means have a pretty little eton suit this season. Here is a model of attractive sort to follow: Skirt, plain and hemmed by hand at the edge. Tunic overskirt falling in points at the sides and slashed up one side o~ the front, with buttons and loops Tor fastening. A wide, folded girdle of satin encirclng the waist Over this the eton, opening at either side of a narrow waistcoat of white fail1e, a button and loop holding the jacket fronts across the waistcoat- The waistcoat is part of the jacket and fastens high to the throat with a turn over collar of the white faille over tapping the top of the eton. Tunic and eton are bound all around witt tailor braid.

NEW SEWING STAND

An excellent sewing stand can be made from an old camp stool.
 Remove seat, stain or enamel brown or white, get one yard brass chain, divide in half and tack to posts on each side, so as to hold chair upright.
 Procure one and one-half yards pretty cretonnes, denim or art fab ric, fold through middle so as to have pattern ont outside; now tack to crosspieces of frame with brass Jacks, allowing three-fourths yard to hang down from between cross pieces so as to form bag with ends, falling on outside of crosspieces, or turned up and stitched so as to form pockets for scissors, thread, etc. This little article of furniture will serve equally well for holding maga- zines, papers or music.

BARREL TRAP TO MAKE CAPTIVE
 UNWARY FLY

If some one told you that it was possible for you literally to catch flies by the barrelful you would be bit sceptical, would you not? But the truth of the matter is that it can be done and quite easily with the barrel fly trap.
 A common barrel, such as one can get from the corner grocer, is used, with a cone of wire screening fas- tened into the bottom end of the barrel and extending up into the bar rel about one-third or half way.
 Cut off the apex of the cone so that there will be a hole about one inch or one inch and half in diameter. It is through this hole that the flies will enter the barrel proper. The top of the barrel is covered with wire screening fastened over a barrel hoop.
 The barrel should then be set in any place in the yard where you think it will do the most good, not only for yourself but for your neigh bors, and on blocks two or three inches off the ground.
 Any kind of bait, such as molasses, sugar, etc, should be placed on the ground under the barrel.
 The flies will be attracted by the bait and instead of leaving the same way they enter, they will instinctively fly up into the cone, being attracted by the light which is let in at the top.
 The trap can be left for four or five days to a week before emptying. As 8 matter of fact, it is better not to disturb it every day, as there will be more flies attracted by those that are already present.
