batiste together. Some frocks show
rows of insertion running around the
skirt at intervals of six or eight inches
This is not so difficult as 1t requires
only straight lengths Of the goods with
the insertion whipped to the edges.
Even an amateur may be sure of the
required accuracy by following this
model.
Very pretty swiss and net frocks
rely upon tucks and frills of the same
materials for their trimming. Tucks
at rather wide intervals above three
inch hens and frills. finished with mar
row hens at the neck and finishing the
short sleeves, emphasize desired sim
plicity in these frocks. Girdles and
sashes of narrow ribbons seem to be-
long to them. Occasionally the frills
are edged with very narrow lace.
These sheer frocks are to be worn
over petticoats of the same fineness, or
over silk slips. Organdies in light col
ors vary the choice and are used for
lovely frccks. Only the first of the new
offerings in party frocks for spring
have arrived, but 1t is quite safe to use
them as models to copy. Something
different but nothing prettier will fol-
low them.

be made over for the little boy should
be ripped up and the goods in II
washed according to the usual method
Of washing woolens. If it shrinks a
little no harm is done. When 1t is
pressed and made up into suit for
the y0ungster the material Is really as
good as new. In case 1t has worn
shiny it should be turned, placing the
wrong side out. In boys suits even
more than in grown-ups two pairs OF
pants for one coat is economical. A
suit with two pairs of pants will wear
more than twice as long as suit with
only one pair. 1t is not particularly
difficult to make boys clothes. The
pants, If cut by reliable pattern, are
easy. When the coat is undertaken
the lining should be first cut and fitted,
using simple pattern as guide.
Discarded shirts of percaIe and ma
dras are used by many housewives for
making aprons. There Is great va
riety Of patterns for the smaller
aprons that are needed by every wom-
an who busies herself at home with
housework or sewing. The skirts are
ripped up, washed and the material
pressed. The designers of patterns
have seen to it that number Of prac-
teal aprons are made up Of several
sections of cloth and this makes 1t
easy to cut them from other garments.

ELIMINATE CHEATING

Brainy Moundsman With Good

Jesse TannehiiI, Former Red SoH
southpaw HurIer, Says Freak
Pitching Should Be Barred
Forever From Baseball.

"Eliminate cheating pitchers from
baseball and the game will not be any
different than when | was with the
Red Sox," declared Jess Tannehlll,
who was here with the PhillieS as
coach.
Ten pounds lighter than when he
was with the Red Sox back III 1908

forty-tive years old, feels as good as
when he helped Jimmy Collins win
the pennant in 1904.
Although now but coach, this Tor
mer star southpaw, who also couid
hit the ball some in the old days, mas
many views about the game of today
which are interesting. Having been
a great pitcher, he knows many angles,
and there is no doubt but that he Is
going to help Gavvy Cravath's pitch
ing department.
II think freak deliveries should
have been barred from baseball be

capped the game considerable be-
cause pitchers who go into the box

sWithout such methods to help them
the pitchers in the future will have
to be there, as we were in the ole
days Ability to pitch will have Il
be shown all the time and | am con
fident the game will be better.
There is no doubt In my mind bu
that the freak pitchers of today cal
get along without their fixings.
"If they have good arm and ar
smart they can get by. SO far
