Water Sup iutendent

Lynden's new water system is now
practically completed, and promises
to be in working order we'll before
the opening of July. That with its
introduction, Lynden will have a
supply of pure water uniformly clear
at all times, is the opinion to a man
of those who have inspected the new
plant.
A huge tank alongside of which
the supply tank mounted near the
high school looks microscopic. and
a series of settling basins are the
features of the new construction. 1t
is the plan to pump the water into
the settling troughs, from which it
will gradually flow to the big tank.
From here it will be pumped to the
elevated tank for distribution.
All the work has been done under
the direction of Walter Pixley. Wat
er Superintendent, who drew the
plans for the system.
The water will be connected up
next week, but the old portions of the
system will have to be cleaned out be-
fore the clear water can be obtained.

sELF-CONsCIOUsNESS.

Grace is largely an attitude of mind, a condition of consciousness, with a slight amount of training added. The self-consciousness woman is seldom graceful, and the ungracious woman is invariably awkward. Yet grace is an all important acquisition, for the woman who possesses it is often as at- tractNe as not of noted beauty. Every movement must be in proportion to ''the time, the place and the girl. !" Grace is the full harmonizing of ex- pression with ease.
 It is the constant sacrifice of a de- gree of personal comfort. No slouchy woman is graceful. No matter how tired one is one should hold oneself up in sitting and walking and stand ing; not stify, but easily.
 The average woman walking looks as if she were in a race and intended to at least Twin by neck" for if a plumb line were dropped from her chin to the ground it would be found that the chm was much in advance of the chest, and to add to the effect the chest is drawn in. Any girl who will try this before the mirror will not likely afterward try it on the street
 A great deal of faulty movement is the result of nervousness, the over strenuous tension at which the mod ern woman swings herself through her days.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-05-13
THE SPIRIT OF ECONOMY.

There is a strong note of economy struck in these new French clothes, which is heard by the woman who is hiring 8. seamstress to build up her spring wardrobe at home. It shows the way to alter old gowns into new ones. The majority of women own evening frocks that have good foun- dations, the skirts a trife too full, it is true, but otherwise ready to serve as the beginning of a new frock. The alteration in the skirt is a simple one. It consists of strengthening out all the seams so that there is no flare from the hips down.
 This trick is going on in all the sewing rooms on the continent, the straight skirt is so well established that even the causal woman has ob- served that she is entirely. out of the picture in any garment that has far ing seams.
 . After the satine or silg evening foundation is adopted to the modern silhouette, the woman who is bent on alteration and economy, may drop over it a chennise tunic of chiffon or jette6 material, or she may take good parts of ornamental drapery from other gowns and make them into a thnic.
 If neither of these tricks is possible she may buy wide, ornamental ribbon or do as one woman did-cut strips from oM bits of brocaded curtains that have served their day, and, mounting them on tulle, acconIplish a tunie that has real distinction.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-05-13
WASHING sCRM CURTAINS.

The washing of scrim or lace cur tains is a simple matter, if one bears in mind that the dirt is mostly on the surface, and for that reason should be washed in cold or lukewarm water. Soiled curtains should never be put directly into hot water. Shave some white soap and dissolve in hot water, and add enough cold water to make slightly soapy. Allow curtains co soak five or 10 minutes. With the hands press up and down-a minute or two-but do not rub. Drain and place in fresh supply of soapy water, and repeat process till dirt is remov- ed. If not badly soiled two or three changes are sufficient. Rinse till clear, and if curtains are white scald if it seems necessary. When curtains have been used at windows which are frequently open, they are apt to have streaks, which can be removed only by the use of soap and hot water, scalding or boiling hot, but this should not be done until all surface dirt is removed by the cold water process. Ecru curtains may be i'm proved by lying some time in hot water to which has been added soma clear strong coffee.

CONCERNING TIE GARDEN.

It is almost time now to plant for that blue flower border you planned to have this season. In fact, the seeds should be by now sprouting in seed box ready to transfer to the open bor- der early in May. Somebody has said that blue blossoms are the highest type of the flower realm; the com monest flowers by the same token, being those in yellow hues. For tunately, the ultra-refned blue posles are not difficult to raise and masses of blue flowers are beautiful in the gar den. But there must be masses or the blue flowers do not show up well against the green background. You will want plenty of dephiniuni bach elor's buttons, blue Canterbury beds' 1arkspur and some heliotrope- White flowers may be brown in the same border with good effect.

FOR THE COUNTRY HOME

Even the dressing table is influenc- ed nowadays by a war income. and simple materials, such as chintzes and quaint cottons. are much used as summer, covers for the few toilet accessories that are permissible on the smart dressing-table says Vogue. In the country house, of white dimtty is used for curtains at the windows and on the mahogany fouc poster of the restful and simple bedroom, the necessary touch of color may be given by the gay cretonne on the dressing table, used under glass if one prefers A generously proportioned glass pow der box has a covered top to match. while a glass tray is framed in the cretonne and the various boxes and trinkets are covered to correspond. Such a setting is dainty and labor saving and yet is easily kept as ex- quitely clean as all details pertaining to the toilet must be.

Dinah was the daughter of the pa triarch Jacob and lived about the year 1732, B.C.

''She went out to see the daughters of the land;" the result of her levity was her ruin and involved two of her brothers in such deeds of revenge as brought a curse upon them and their posterity.

SPRING SAILOR HATS

Sailor hats will be extremely pop uIar this season, and one of the smart shops in New York has been showing some good looking styles in hats of that class. They were made, to be- gin with, of a coarse, rough cream white or natural colored straw, with a glossy finish. The crowns of many were variously covered or draped with navy blue Georgette, in some cases having broad hemstitched bor- ders on. the ends used as scarfs. Some of the larger hats were varied hE hay ing brims of the blue Georgette and crowns rather high, of the rough straw Where the crowns were plain, rather than draped, small tailored bows or rosette of narrow grosgrain ribbon, also navy blue, made effective bits of trimming.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Substitute for ferns-Ffn a fern dish with rich earth and plant the seeds of grapefruit. Put them in thick1y and cover a half-inch deep. Keep well watered. In about two weeks you should have beautiful green centre dish. They last long time with little care.
 Steaming wrinkles out of gowns Draw the bath tub or large wash boiler half full of hot water and hang the gowns that are wrinkled above it to steam. In few hours the wrinkles will entirely disappear. This also freshens lace and chiffon. gowns.

becomes lifeless and frequently coarse. A lack of cleanliness will cause falling hair. A refusal to wear the hair in any but one style will sometimes cause bald spots. A too-hot curling iron will singe and split the hair.
 Nothing is more in evidence about the hatless woman than her hair. Since a woman otherwise fault1essly groomed is condemned as sloven if she hasn't well groomed head, there remains but one thing for a self-re- specting woman to do-give proper attention to her hair.
 Always remember to dry the hair in the sunlight after a shampoo. There is no sweeter, finer purifier than sun light. Sun drying is much safer and ficial heat Neither is it so likely to break the hair as the brisk rubbing with towel, though the latter is very good for the hair if done properly.
 Caring for Scalp.
 The scalp should receive most of the rubbing and the long hair should only be clapped between the folds of the towels to press the moisture from it To aid the hair to dry quickly, sit in the sunlight either indoors or out according to the temperature, and taking the hair by the long ends shake it until all the strands of hail have been shaken out Of the fingers Continue to do this until the sunlight has attacked every strand, not once but many times.
 Oils of several kinds are beneficial to scalp. Castor oil, for instance

Small toques find favor with women of fashion, and if they can afford it, the chief and only ornament is a slender diamond arrow or pin thrust through the front. Certainly nothing could be more truly suggestive of ex- pensive simplicity.
 It is rather unusual. for a woman with snowy hair to wear jet oran- ments in it; but if your hair is white, just try the effect some time time. It Is quite handscme-

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

A nice look is given a frock of checked gingham by the addition of welI-cut collar and cuffs of white pique. Other little touches of white are acceptable such as pipings for girdle and buttonhofes.
 Do not get too much of a tumble of color in your effort to wear the pretty colored collars and cuffs or those of white with coIored inserts. Get the effect with a particular gown you in tend to wear it with before putting much money into a set, for color eff fects~are pleasing only when simple.
