TIMELY AND INTERESTING
FASHION NOTES

New scarfs are made of tulle, in bril-
beaded designs in bright colors. Some
times the irregular border at each end
of the scarf is as much as IS inches
deep in places.
Parrots have rather definite place in
our decorative scheme nowadays. We
have utilized them in interiors for
n.onths-to very good effect, too And
now we find them on hats and frocks.

fabric is applied to the brim and crown

Applique figures are a good deal used
on children's frocks this spring. They
are cut out of cretonne sometimes, or
out of hand blocked linen, and applied to

catches the light but is nevertheless soft
to the eye.
A lovely frock of satin is made with
loose panel at each side. heavily quilted
at the lower edge. The quilting is done
over a cotton padding lined with thin
silk. 1t may be, of course, that we shall
like the Japanese learn to use quilted
silk for warmth, if war and wool short
age continue.
These present-day instances of what
can be done from decorative point
OF view with quilting are encourag
ing. Quilting really can be made the
means Of very interesting decorative
notes.

WITHOUT A HAMPER
One way to get along without laun-
dry hamper is to have laundry chute
built in the house. This is a chute ex-
tending from the second and perhaps
the third floor OF house to the laun-
dry, With openings on each floor. Ina
clothes are put in the chute as soon
as they are soiled and they drop down
to the laundry.
A laundry chute is an admirable way
of solving the trouble of caring lor
soiled clothes, il it is properly care
for There should be big basket al
the bottom of the chute, into which
the clothes can fall. Every day some-
one should go to the laundry and soft

PENDANT EARRINGS
BANGLE FROM HATS

There is one especial novelty recently
launched by the milliners. 1t comes by
way of Paris and it has been worn
over there by strikingly dressed women,
for bad as the war situation is, there is
no gainsaying the fact that the French
women are now dressing more brilliantly
than they have since June. 1914.
This novelty consists of earrings. long,
pendant ones, attached to the inner edge
of the brim of the hat. They dangle over
the neck. They are made of crystals, of
filigree gold, of colored gems set in sill
yer, and sometimes of precious stones.
Caprice cannot be eliminated, even by
threatening disaster.

FOR MENDING CHINA

; An old and tested recipe for mending
substance for china and glass, which will
resist the action of water and heat, is
as follows: Mix a cupful of milk with
a cupful of vinegar Separate the curd
from the whey and mix the whey with
the whites of five eggs beating the whole
thoroughly together When it is well
mixed sift in little quicklime and stir
until it is thick paste. This drifs
quickly and may be used very satsfaS
torily for broken china and glass.

WHEAT MAY BE WORN,

Women in mass these days appear like

stalks of forbidden grain, vari-colored,
shredded, curled and discovered. 1t is
no longer wheat colored. 1t goes into ev-
cry dyepot and that is managed by the
American manufacturers, since we have
begun to stand on our own feet in the dye
business.
The milliners have invented curious
and complex treatment of wheat after it
comes from the dyepot in red, blue,
yellow and green. They put it through
some trick of magic in the back rooms,
and it energies as first cousin to an
aigrette or as half-sister to an os-

away with our tongues. One feels that
it is well that there is no earthly war
time Judge before whom we must all
come who puts our talk in one scale and
actions in the other.
TALK AND ACTION
DO NOT SQUARE
Those who insist that every dollar
snent uselessly is an unpatriotic act
sbould be excessively careful that all
through their own lives there is no IN
cident upon which the public can put its
finger and say, Here is the spending OF
a useless dollar!
The men and women who preach this
doctrine may be quite sincere in their
minds. but their talk is useless II tneF
are not consistent, and compel those
very near them to be also consistent. A
certain episode that recently occurred
in this city has caused much resent
ment and irritation. It has been dis
cussed wherever women and men fore
gather who are interested in patriotic
featuring and theb uynig Of women's APP
parel.
It is as follows: A most sincere and
natriotic woman, returning from war
work in France and starting on a tour
of Red Cross lectures. made an initial
sneech in New York, in which she
begged women not to buy anything in
the way of apparel but the most neces-
sary purchases. and these at small
prices, She spoke of the enthusiasm
shown by certain milliner who had sold
u hats in one morning. She had ex-
plained to the mlliner that this was no
cause for enthusiasm; the milliner had
retorted that such sales enabled her
to pay salaries to her employees. while
the war worker insisted that 1t would
he we'll for them to lose their Jobs. as
tbe government needed them for othef
work.
The speech was printed in all the pa
pers. At the moment it was read IN
well-known millinery shop relative o.
the war worker was telling the mil.
liner how her envy had been excited over
the marvellous gowns and hats which thu
war worker had brought home from
Paris. and which she had been showing
to her family all thatd ay. And the mil
liner added that she had bought "a
hats from that house during the season.
Here is another episode Another sim
cere and patriotic woman, working hard
for her country. preached against the
buying of clothes for the duration of the
war. She insisted that it would be well
for all shops to close and all the en-
ployes sent to other kinds Of business.
And her words were listened to with con-
vction Running parallel with her talk
came the statement of famous dress
making house that the same woman had
ordered II gowns and two evening coats,
at prices ranging from $500 to $500 apiece
And still another occurrences: A we'll
known war worker, patriotic and self
sacrificing gave an order to a high
priced dressmaker for several expensive
and beautiful spring gowns and hats
with the request that the transaction be
a confidential one. so that no one in
her family could twit her.
I'VE must have these clothes, but it
isn't wise to let the public know it, and
it seems unpatriotic," was her com
ment.
No matter how much sincerity a wom-
an may have in her war work, she must
square her actions with her talk. If we
are going to be big we've got to be

MILLINERS TRY TO

Not being quite certain of the pur-
chasing power of the public in regard 20
gowns and suits the miliners saw their
opportunity to throw tidal wave Of
new and varied hats into the current Of
clothes.
When one goes out to look for new
spring hats one is caught in this cur

The reformers who argue against the
buying of hats, as well as gowns are
arguing against human nature. "om-
an may economic on any other part OIL
her apparel, but the change of season
sets her whole nature throbbing TO get
new head coverings.
When the black of winter may be ex-
changed for the flowers of summer the
tide of purchase sets in, and the cur
rent runs strong. Hats we must nave.
They may be part of new costumes or
they may be accessories to redeem and
enliven old costumes. but we must have
them.
A good deal is said by the reformers
these days which we wish could be lett
unsaid. 1t is difficult to approach TINS
matter without suggesting that many OF
us are rot sincere and that our patriot
ism. fine and strong as it may be, runs

Why Stomach
Causes So Much
Bad Health

Many people seem to think that acid stomach
or superacidity-is of little importance; that u
merely causes some slight trouble such belch-
ing heartburn, sour, gassy stomach, food-repeat-
ing. bloat, etc.
If those same people would only realize the
real truth about acd-stomach and when these
first symptoms appear would at once start TO rid
themselves Of the ncid. what crushing
load OF awful suffering. misery and ill-health
would be lifted from mankind.
DO you realize that i'll effects Of an acid-stom-
ach extend throughout the entire system and
more or less affect practically every organ and
tissue Of the human body from the crown Of the
head 70 the soes OF the feet? Well, it's fact
For instance, probably few people ever think
that there could be any connection between an
acid-stomach and dandrun and falling hair; or
between an acid-stomach and equity foot
Nevertheless there Is a direct connection.
Now you know what acid mouth does to the
teeth. The acid right through the hard
enamel causing them 20 decay. What chance,
then do YOU think the delicate organization Of
the stomach has against excess acid?
The excess acid interferes with digestion and
