press with a hot iron and put them
away to be used in mending old silk

this manner if you have a strip of

BEDROOM LINENS AND SCARFS
Blocked Effect Is Done Either in
Colors or White, According to
Accompanying Embroidery.

A curious development in table lin
ems and Scarfs for the bedroom is the
blocked effect done either in colors or
white, according to the character of
the accompanying embroidery and in
various ways. The reason for this is
rather obvious. Now that fine linens
have become so scarce, the pleasure
of looking at pure, unbroken surface
Of soft white linen is not for the
housewife of today. Her ''linens" will
very likely be cottons for some time,
and anything which will break the
cotton expanse and make the finish
less noticeable is welcome.
Hemstitching by machine or hand
is one way of making these checkered
cloths. Outline or COUGHING is effec-
tive, too. The blocks vary according
to the size of the piece, but six inches
is a good working size for most of
them. Small motifs may then appear
in the corners or in every other block,
or as border around the edge. There
is much chance for novelty here.

Some of the Popular and HarmonizInu

The trick is in knowing what colors

that such and such a color carries

Just what color that color goes with to

Another color combination that

Spring Brings Cotton BIouses.

The seasons dovetail into each 9th.
er so closely that style questions are
just about settled for winter when
along comes spring to unsettle them
again, and SO on through the year.
During the fall and winter days, silks
of all kinds hold sway in the develop
ment of all lines and types of gar.
ments. When warm weather ap-
proaches fine, sheer cotton fabrics are
found very much worth while in at
least two lines-blouses and undergar-
ments. Batiste, Organdie and very fine
wolfe are the three most popular cot
ton waist fabrics, and for the coming
season handmade laces, such as filet
and Irish crochet, will be the popular
trimmings, with hand embroidery and
hemstitching aiding in the decorative
scheme.

"He Careful"

that the Skunk children in the nearest
hole to ours quarreled, and then you
told someone else you had heard that
they quarreled so badly that they &C.
tually had fights-that would be Cos
sip. You would be talking about them
in the first place unkindly, which
would be mean, and when you added
to what you had heard you would be
doing something very wrong.
$50, my children, want to tell you
never to gossip. And It's very apt to
make folks unhappy. 1t seems so
wrong to make any unhappiness we
can help. There are enough sick
nesses and hurts and troubles and
bothers not to help made-up ones"
All the little skunkS nodded their
heads and said, Eyes, papa, we think
SO too"
WELL" continued Mr.. Skunk, ut is
true when folks say we give a most
horrid odor when we're frightened.
And you all know why we do.
ITS our protection. All animals
and creatures must have something to
protect themselves with from the out
side world, and that is our protection.
But when folks say that we're horrid
and cross, they are gossiping and
adding to the truth an untruth.
Were very gentle and kindly and
would never do anyone any harm. We
are afraid of big people and big crea-
lures. We are rather timid and shy"
We've always been shy" said the
little skunks.
"And," continued Papa Skunk, 1--WE
give folks several warnings when we
are frightened and are going to use
our great protection.
First we tap on the ground with
our paws. Then If they don't pay any
attention to that we raise our tails
as though to say, BE careful. We are
frightened. And we must look after
ourselves
1.-THE next warning we give is to
move our tails back and forward, and
if folks don't pay any attention ana
we are still frightened then we-well
we give our punishment.
"Of course if we are frightened
very, very suddenly we may not give
these warnings because we may not
have the time, but we usually do, all
right"
ITS not fair Of folks to say We're
not gentle enough" said the little
Skunks.
"Ah, that's gossip, m'dears, COS
sip" said Mr.. Skunk, waving his
handsome tail, "but now l have told
you the skunk's story as told by a
skunk"

GOWNS TO MATCH HANGINGS
Recent Fad Is to Have Apparel Har-
monize With Draperies and APP
pointments Of the Boudoir.

One of the latest fads of fashion Is
the elaborate room gown designed to
harmonic with the hangings and ap-
pointments of the boudoir itself and
for these rose pink brocade, French
blue, and metal brocades are the first
requisition.
A shimmery gold and blue brocade,
light in effect, has been used for one
of these. 1t is cut on kimono lines, but
softly draped at either side of the
front. Dull gold braid, oddly tasseled
in gilt and black beads, makes an edge
finish, and a single large motif of the
braid marks the fastening at one side.
The garment is lined in chiffon of the
shade of light Parma violets, and the
whole suggests a setting done in dainty
French boudoir style.
In the same spirit is designed a
brighter model of flame color, with
lace bodice and overjacket of flame,
trimmed with changeable ribbon in a
soft shade of light blue shot with
flame.

Eadeless Kitchen Gowns.

Kitchen dresses of light weight un-
bleached cotton were adopted by a
dainty young housewife who found
that her colored wash dresses faded
quickly. ''and," she says, II never
looked so well in the kitchen before"
All are made by some simple pat
tern and have touch of colored EN-.
broidery or crochet on the neck, belt,
sleeves, and pockets. These dresses
can be washed and boiled and need
no starch, and they look new until
they are worn out, and will outwear
Bingham or percale. The material
should be shrunk before cutting.

COATS FOR GIRLS
Shepherds Plaid and Wool Fab
RIGS Are to Be Favorites.
Taffetas in Wide Range of coIors and
Shades-Navy and Tan Are Also
Popular.

The most important item in the
spring outfit of every young girl is
the separate coat. For several years
washable dresses have been preferred
for girls under six, regardless OF sea-
son. Therefore few radical changes
are noted in dresses developed for
these junior citizens. OF course, every
season brings its novelties, changes
in fabric, color and color combina-
ton, but actual style changes are so
few that cotton wash frock made
for summer wear may appear with
equally good effect during winter, or
vice versa.
Spring naturally makes the heavy
winter coat an impossible garment
Therefore the new spring coat is an
all-important item of the little girls
wardrobe.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
Have you an old white skirt which
you thought ready for the rag bag?
What is the matter with 1t? 1t Is too
tight around the hips. Rip out the
hem and if it is worn on the fold cut
it off. Raise the skirt until it Is large
enough around the hips. Cut off the
top and attach to an inner belt. I'm
less your old inner belt is as good as
new buy new one, for the inner belt
often makes the success or failure OF
a skirt. Even off the bottom, and If
not too short, face it. Otherwise you
will have to make false hem. What
is false hem? 1t is merely a strip
of cloth, straight or bias, as preferred,
which is set on the bottom of the
skirt to represent a hem (not fac
ing). 1t may be of the same or of
contrasting material. Use a plaid or
a striped material, add a touch to
pockets or belt, and show your
friends brand-new sport skirt.
Is your skirt too large? Either take
up the seams or recut it into a new
style. Or, perhaps the top is too worn
to use any more. Put on a new yoke
of similar material. In case you have
no more of the old material use any
white material and wear the skirt
with MILDLY blouses or one of the new
long blouses. You might make a new
MILDLY blouse from the old skirt. Use
the bottom of the skirt for the bottom
of the blouse. Measure up the length
desired and cut the top of the blouse
by plain waist pattern. Add sleeves,
collar and belt of similar or contrast
ing material and you are ready for the
next picnic.
Does Johnny need a new romper or
a Sunday suit? Get out your pattern
and arrange all of it on the unworn
parts of the skirt before cutting.

girls coats. Taffetas appear in a wide
range of colors and shades. Navy, of
course, is good, tan shades are ex-
tremely popular and the light blues

These little coats are usually made
with a normal waistline or with a

There is always a waistline. The
straight coats make their appearance
for older girls and for women.

an extremely chic little coat and one
that is always serviceable.

smart coat for a girl of six or eight
years. The belt may be of patent
leather in either red or black, the but

match the shade of the belt. The coat
is finished at the neck with a collar
of plaid over which is laid de-

plain collars being preferred for coats
