Women have long known that electric cooking IS

CTS. and courageous enough to start a campaign toward having the fewest clothes and the most attractive in comparison to the amount of expen. diture, they will be doing their cOun- try, their fellow-wOmen and them. selves a great kindness.
 h The Dress Form
 For the woman who sews at home a dress form is a necessity. Only by this means is it possible to have per. fectly fitting garments. At first thought it may seem like an expen. siye acquisition. but enc who has once used a form will wonder how she ever got along without it. Clothes Of all descriptions can he fitted on dress form and worn without s single alter. ation. They are especially useful in making draped and evening gowns as little original changes suggest themselves when one sees the gowr on the form that would never other wise come to ones thought.
 In considering what kind of form to buy one should observe the differ ent varieties in the market. They ars adjustable. pneumatic and non-adjust able. As a tight-fitting lining is re auired for all of them. the less ex pensive. non-adjustahle form can b' used to as good advantage as the other two. l. is made of papier mach' and covered with jersey cloth.
 Fitted Lining
 The first step toward preparing th' dress form is to make a tight-fitteS lining Of galatea. For women of 40 inch bust or under a two-piece bacl lining is sufficient. but if the bus measure is over 70 a threepiece bsc, should be used. The front should b. scanned up and the lining be left opeI at the center back It should reaci to the fullest part of the hips, or eigh inches below the waist line. Thi' lining should be fitted perfectly to ths figure of the person who is to use th' form.
 A high collar should be attached t' the neck of the lining and be stiifene' with heavy paper. Tn cutting out thu lining the pattern should be laid cross wise of the material. thus giving add ed strength to the garment The forn should be from two to four inche smaller than the woman for whom i is intended The woman with hip small in proportion to the bust shoull be careful to get form smal

No season of the year is buster for the fashiOners Of wearing apparel all over the country from San Francisco 70 New York, in shop and factory and home, than are the weeks just pre- ceding Easter To the woman who loves pretty clothes-and what wom- an does not-Easter is a word that allures and entices and impels to strenuous activity with the dress maker or the sewing machine A thing Of rejoicing it is that Easter comes but once a year.
 Economy has replaced the usual American eXtravagance in the plan hing of the 1918 spring wardrobe. Economy is practiced. not through using a cheaper grade of materials, but in so planning a costume that it may not be limited only to certain occasions, bur may he used for gen eral wear. thus oftimes making one frOek do the work and have the value of two.
 Plan well your frock before pur chasing the material Be sure that you know just what you really want. Observe closely the dresses displayed in the various stores, the plates Of de signs in the fashion magazine, and

the garments being worn by the best dressed women whom you see on the street These are a few of the can tions that the woman of war times should observe before she decides what she wants to purchase or make. Profit well by the experience Of past years when you made frOcks that looked old and out of style by June, and that you entirely discarded by July.
 Thrift Lessons
 IL has been well said by those in authority that the people of the Unit ed States are learning from the eXi- geacies of war lessons of thrift that will be of inestimable value to them the rest Of their lives. Then. if wom- en can learn how to plan a wardrobe with the least waste Of material and money. and the greatest exercise of thought and care. they will be the sainers by the enforced economy of the war
 If. too, there are women who are strong minded enough to desist from the petty rivalry in the matter of clothes. Wherein there is evidenced a desire to have more and prettier and more expensive garments than oth-

enough. as they are made. like stock patterns, with hips large in propOr- ton.
 Padding Necessary
 Linen tape should be stitched to the lining exactly at the waist line. as this Is of great assistance in fitting the wristbands of skirts. When the lining is ready to be put on the form must first be padded with cotton bat ting. From two to four small bats are usually enough for this. The cot. ton should first be placed around the hips extending tO the waist line Two layers will probably be enough for this. Then take two pieces 12 or IA inches long and place over the arm holes of the form and pin in place extending well over the shoulders Next take another roll of cotton. be ginning at the bottom of the form in back. bring it up over the shoulders tearing a place to fit the neck of the form. and continue down to the base of the form in front. The cotton mus be pinned securely in position.
 Then slip the lining on the dress form and carefully fll out any places that appear to be loose. so that the form will conform exactly to the Eg ure. The lining must it firmly and smoothly, not showing a wrinkle When this enect has been gained through careful padding overcast the seam. beginning at the waistline and working up and down from it Tacl it around the bottom to the form bl using ordinary carpet tacEs. Cover the armhOles by sewing ; round piece of material over them tC the lining. Arms for the form mal be made by using a tight-fitting sleeve pattern and stuffng with srOund corl or sawdust and attaching them to th' covered armhOle by means of hook: and eyes

LOS ANGELES. Feb. I5.-Drown- ing has lost most of its terrors for the men bathers at Southern Califor- mia beaches. In fact, it is said that young liberty soldiers from the train ing camps try to give an imitation of a drowning man every tmie they go for a swim these days. in the hope that the newly installed life savers stationed along the beaches will come to the rescue.
 The excuse for this is that the new life guards have been selected from
Bisbee daily review., 1918-02-17

the ranks of the mosJ arnletic and daring young women of beach cities.
 When Uncle Sam began calling his husky young nephews to the colors, the male guards disappeared one by one. No men could be found to fill their places, and. in despair. the beach resort authorities appealed to the best swimmers among the young women
 The response was gratifying and astonishing, for it was found that the girls not only pstrolled the beaches

 Incidentally, it also developed that the new life guards added to the pop ularity ot surf bathing. and already it is planned to increase their number in the spring when the bathing season is at its heights.

Leipzig have done the same" Quot
Ing further from the bulletin IN

Sweden and Norway Masonry is en-
tfrely free from politics and concerns
itself with social and moral prob

writer, has taught US that the

exclusively national. 1t must wear
character. 1t must renounce every
connection with the worlds Ma

This" said a Mason of very high
prominence in the District yesterday.
