soundino the Quaint Note.

There is a note of quaintness in the
simpler summary frocks this year /;
chintzes in small patterned designs are
developed in many alluringly demure
styles, one with tiny bright red flowers
having a little white dotted swiss
bibbed apron appliqued with red wool
embroidery. Hats are made of fab
ric to match, and one model with a
poke bonnet trend is equipped with
long green earrings. Peasant frocks
in natural or dark colored linens have
applique border designs of two color
crepes. Simple morning frocks OF
bingham are ruffied in white and en-
brOidered in wool, and chemise frocks
of handkerchief linen also have rather
elaborate embroideries in worsted.

Spring suits make their appeal TO US
from new angles this season, for there
are almost none among them that so
much as suggest severity of line or
finish. They are easy and graceful and
decidedly chic. They look thoroughly
comfortable for summer time, and rely
upon the vestee to provide warmth for
crisp spring days. They are more or
less ornamented with narrow, fiat or
soutache braid, or with long and short
stitch embroidery or COUGHING. Among
decorations, embroidered band effects
are in great demand. CrisscrOss tucks
or narrow silk braid, faultleSsly
stitched on, in a criSScrOSS band pat
tern, are among the details that have
captivated the devotees of tailored
clothes everywhere.
These decorations of embroidery. pin
tucks and beautifully stitched braid
are among the luxuries, for they add
as much or more to the cost of suit
as is asked for the goods it is made of.
Some women who are clever with the
needle buy a plain, well-made suit and
embroider or braid it to suit them
selves. This lifts it out of the orCii-
nary Immediately and places it on q
new plane among those aristocrats in
street suits that are priced at some
thing like a hundred dollars or more
usually more. These high prices are
explained as the result of the great
advance in the price of labor. If this

all automobile license fees and taxes

VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE
Increased Supply Of Fresh Vegetables
May Be Obtained BY Applying
to Garden Soil.

The droppings from fowls, if care
fully saved and applied to the garden
soil, will increase the supply Of fresh
vegetables. Poultry manure is rich in
nitrogen and is well worth the effort
it requires to save and apply. The
droppings from an average farm flock
will amount to considerable fertility
during the year.

To wash all wool f1annels, sweaters
and blankets, by a method that will
prevent them from shrinking, is the
ambition of every careful housewife.
It is said that this may be accomplish
ed by washing them in cold water in
which bOrax and white soap have been
dissolved. The proportion seems TO
be about level tablespoonful OF borax
and one-fourth of a cake Of soap to
two or three gallons of water, depend
ing upon the degree Of hardness Of
the water. To wash a sweater, use
enough water to cover it generously.
Let the sweater soak an hour, then
squeeze it out, but do not wiring it.
If necessary put through a second wa
ter which has been softened with bOrax
and white soap. Afterward rinse very
thoroughly IN several cold waters and
put through a wringer. Then pull it
into shape and dry it. Blankets and
fannels may be successfully washed
in this way.
1t is said fluffy, knitted garments of
wool should not be hung up to dry.
This process for washing them and
then drying them so that they will
look ike new, is given by some au-
thOrities. Make warm suds of wa
ter and white soap; wash the garment
and rinse thoroughly. Run through a
wringer and place in a pan in which
a towel has been laid. Take the gar
ment out occasionally and shake it,
thus allowing it to dry gradually and
with many shakings.
To Wash White China Silk.
White china silk, so much used for
waists and underclothing, is apt to
| turn yellow in the wash. To prevent
this, one must take precautions. Soap
must not be rubbed on china silk gar
ments nor ammonia used to soften the
water in which they are washed. Cut
up any white soap and mix it with
hot water until a jelly is formed.

Vivian. maybe, is living her life anew, but the chances
are that some several thousand times during the next 90
years Vivian again will wish she had her whole life to
live over.
Most human beings come to that wish; some often,
some only after they have travelled far down the road
of mistakes. We'd be more successful in the management
Of our lives. We'd do things differently; we'd do things
which we left undone, and we'd refrain from doing things
we did. Doubtless the world would be thickly populated
with Rockefellers. Napoleons, Wilson's. Edisons. Shakes
peares. if lives could be lived over again.
It's a pleasant dreani-living our lives over again.
But, listen, il is NOT a dream. 1t can be done. 1t Is done
OFTEN. Men and women do live their lives over again.
Vivian's grandma was right: Start again, that's all one
must do to live ones life over again.
New lives. worth while lives, successful and happy
lives are daily erected upon the ruins of misspent lives,
worthless lives. miserable lives. Courageous men and
women have turned when near the bottom Of the down
ward path and have come back TO success, honor and
happiness. What was that but a new life? Wasn't that
living life over again.?
Nor need n person have long years ahead of him to
live his life over again. The thief on the cross lived his
life over again in his last moment Of earthly existence.
Prison gates in every state open daily TO human beings
who from that moment start living their lives over again,
and among them are the totterng ~gray-beard and the
beardless youth.
