BLOuSCS Meru Shades

We believe it will be difficult to find prettier, more modish blouses than these, which are of georgette, crepe de chine and wash silks. There are blouses of color combinations that will be in harmony with almost any modish fall suit. They seem almost intangible till one examines closely, and then one sees how wholly exclusive they are, in their many fascinating indl- vidualities Some are made minutely by hand, others hand finished, with all ma chine stitching skillfully camouflaged. Then there are those that look like spiders web, woven from the rainbow they're beaded and embroidered in con trasting colors-and there are others and still others-all standing out prominently with the pride of distincture in their hearts, colors, white, flesh, pink, sunnset, navy. flame, green, taupe, plum and etc. all sizes, 34 to 46 priced from, $3.95 to $37.5O.

Lady Blanche hurried away, and while she was absent Bayard divided the gold pieces into three portion, two of a thousand each and one of five hundred.
 Soon the noble lady returned with her daughters. My lord" she said, these poor girls owe much to your kindness, and desire to thank you and pray that God will protect you as you have protected them.''
 Bayard was much touched by the sincerity of their devotion.

 Then, mounting his horse, the good knight rode away, while Lady Blanche and her daughters fell upon their knees and prayed for his protection.

 Lady Blanche heard these words with great joy and sent for a surgeon to attend the knights wound, which was found to be deep but not fatal. Lady Blanche gratefully assisted in the care. of the wounded knight for months. Then, Bayard, having learn ed that a great battle was likely to be fought between the French and Spaniards, 1onged to take part in the conflict. He was pronounced by the surgeon to be in a fit condition to ride forth again, and decided to leave Brescia in two days.
 His hostess, believing herself and her daughters to be virtually Bayard's s prisoners, appeared. in his chamber on the morning of his departure, fol- lowed by a servant bearing small box. Once more Lady Blanche fell on her knees before the knight. but before she could speak Bayard as sisted her to chair.

SAVE POTS AND PANS.

Because of the demand for steel and the shortage of materials which go into the manufacture of enameled, galvanized and timed wares in use in American kitchens some thirty manu- lecturers of these wares have issued jointly an appeal to the housewife to prolong the life of her kitchen uten- sils. Three important "don'ts" are among those laid down for the house. wife to follow:
 Don't use coarse securing powders.
 Don't handle the wares carelessly. Don't heat the food in pan with out water.
 When it is recalled that more than S10O, 100000 is spent each year by American housewives for household utensils it is apparent that the part which the women of the home can play in national economy is no small one.

When I had spread the samples on the table before Madame, she looked them over carefully. Finally picking up the piece of blue and white gingham silk, she said:
 ''This will do very nicely for the underbodice of the jumper-frock of ecru tussor. Make the collar and cuffs plain, without the pleated frills, but with a row of hemstitching about the edges. Use barred crepe Georg- cite or chiffon for the underbodices of the taffeta and satin frocks. Finish the jumper-frock first, Miss Westley; Pm anxious to see the effect of the plaid silk"
 Late this afternoon Miss Westley brought the frock down for me to try on. It was designed for a girl who's still at school and struck me as being a very sensible dress.
 The jumper bodice was cut with low, slightly pointed neck-line finished with a narrow cording of the mater ial. Shoulder straps with rounded ends, fastened with coin-shaped, cov- cred buttons and bound buttonholes, added a smart tailored note to the frock. The armholes were of exag- gerated size and edged with cordings of the silk. The bodice bIoused soft ly over strap belt fastened in front with button and buttonhole.
 A modish feature of the jumper frock was the short, pleated peplum, which extened across the back and sides. The pleats were of medium width and flared gracefully at the lower edge of the peplum. The skirt had the effect of being | extremely narrow, but a deep pleat both in the front and at the back, af- l forded ample room for walking These pleats wrere pressed very flat to preserve the narrow silhouette o1 the skirt.

 The neckline was pointed to cor respond with that of the jumper, anG was finished with a narrow, turned down collar. The bishop sleeves were set in at the armholes with a sugges

Among the few families of the Eng fish aristocracy who emigrated to America one of the first representa- lives was Lady ArabeHa Johnson, daughter of Thomas, Earl of Lincoln. She married Isaac Johnson, who left his native land for New England. from religious motives. Lady Ara bella cheerfuIly accompanied him and they arrived in Salem, Mass, in April, 1880.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

On cold days it is hard to clean the windows when a thin sheet of ice quickly forms over the glass. This can be remedied by adding a table spoon of salt to the water.
 To keep ivory handles like new, go over them once in a while with wet baking soda and dry quickly with a clean, soft cloth. Never put ivory in water. It will turn it dark yellow.
 If clothespins are dipped in a salt water solution before pinning on the clothes, they will come off without any trouble.
