 Never leave a knot in your yarn. Splice the ends by ravelllng for two inches, crossing in the palm of the hand and not have ridge under the heel nor at the end of the toe. Never finish toe by placing stitches on two needles and casting off from both needles together; never do this under the heel.

Garbage Dumps Unsanitary.

Not few cities dump their garbage upon plots of land located usually in outskirts of the city. This is not dis posal at all, but simply the placing or removal of filth from one locality to another. One health authority has this to say in regard to dumping gar bage on the outskirts:
 "Whole groups of zymotic diseases are traceable to ground conditions. When, as in some parts, soils are com. posed of an accumulation of decaying matters from the city. the building of houses over it may conceal but cannot destroy the contamination. More or less of the foul air must find its way out of the soil and eEdanger the health of the people living upon it."

 Olson arrived first, and I barely had time to tell him briefly what had oe- cured, when White emerged through the deck opening and reported, his eyes blinking i1 the bright light, and his face griny with coal.
 You wanted ne, sir?" he asked, with no buster in the gruff voice.

 She drew a quick breath, her eyes on my face.

 "No, not since we had supper to- gether."

Here is an evening gown on early Flemish lines. The material ls heavy crepe satin, with oirdle of cloth Of gold. The bodice and train are ern- broidered in Flemish design. The Iln. ing of the train is qold.broWn velvet going to be mrrow, and it Is quite as well that dfessmkers and women accept this fact without cavii.
 Once before in the history of clothes there was a tight skirt which was said to have been caused by the Civil war in America. It hecame the fashion after AppomattOx and remained In fashion for a deHk and a half after ward. It was also caused by the ne- cessity for economy in material. as the four years war had nearly exhausted the commodities of this country.
 That skirt was called the tie-back. The front and sides were pulled across the figure so that the wearer could barely step, and rubber bands were put across the back below the waistline. to draw the material up into a series of little puffs. This was as much of a bustleY Ss was permitted.
 Persistence tse Amazing.
 The persistence of this fashion has been an amazing thing to those who study clothes. les origin was in the fashionable way of walking called inc Grecian bend, Which was the absurd predecessor of the equally absurd de- butante slouch.
 In the days df the tie-bacR skirt. little girls w0ld secure safety pins by indirect meaus, and pull the fuilncss of their skirts back and up, thus hay ing little fiuh of their own below the waist. They were always caught st this by their mothers and nurses, be- cause the safety pins tore the material and made gaming holes.
 Again, in tlns day of elimination 0f waste through fine necessities of war, we are to be pat into the tight skirt with its fuilness arranged at the. back in series of slight flares.
 It is not possible to say with any degree of certainty whether this skirt will be widely accepted when the au- tumn comes. Reporting, and not
  prophecy, is the duty of those who try to give the news of dress as it comes out week after week.
 The American designer, as well as the French one has gone in for this upward tilt of material at the end of the spine and 1t may be that the later fashions will arentuate it. >
 Whatever may be the fullness. though, at. ang. special spot R the skirt, those who are regarding the question of new clnthes must remem- Der that the hem will be almost as narrow as it was in the days of the hobble skirt.
 There is a marked tendency toward the sheath skirt in several of the new costumes. The material slinks into the figure after il leaves the e~&aist, and the hem provides only a stepping width.
 The shortness of the skirt for street wear is necessary. In the spring there was decided tendency to

New York.-It would be odd if the edict for elimination of waste material in clothes that has gone forth from the governing factors in dress on both continents, would be responsible for the incoming of the hustle.
 So far as the expert observer can see into the near future of autumn costumery which is now being planned, shown and bought. the only actual elimination of material is in the width of the skirt.
 There is little sense in being obsfin- ate about the width of skirts: they're

A IEW YORK. Feb. l8-lt appears
~ that the dressmakers arc going TO
~camouflagc the slim little gown
made from two or three yards OF ma
terial.
There are women who will have
nothing to do with the trick. They
like the new silhouette. They prefer
to appear to be cut to the bone. They
think it shows that they are patriotic
in the conservation OF wool. They in
sist that il is in accord with their
multifold activities for the duration II
the war.
1t might be said that women arc
divided into two camps at all times
regarding the silhouette. There are
those who want to be as trig as a man
Of war, and there are others who pre-
fer to be enveloped in concealing folds.
They feel naked and ashamed in a re-
vealing silhouette.
Chance for Both Types.
This spring, the dressmakers will
give both camps OF women a chance to

bans that have wings at the side made
Of a new, transparent fabric that looks
like eisenglass.
On the other hand, we will have
women who abide by the law Of con-
servation, but the slim amount of ma
trial they are compelled to use in the
frock will be extensively augmented by
a collar that looks like a Martha Wash
