Helpful Suggestions.

Sewing Hint-Immediately after
cutting the neck of a waist put in a
running thread one-eighth of an
inch from the edge to hold the ma
terial in place and to prevent it's
stretching while the garment is be-
ing fitted
Care of Ferns-Every two weeks
wash With soapy soft water. After
every third washing work into soil
a piece of raw beef-take care not
to injure root. A tablespoon of
castor oil is also a good remedy,
poured at the root.
Warm, comfortable quilts can be
made from newspapers. Take eight
thicknesses of the paper, put be-
tween print coverings, sew the
sides and ends together with long
stitches and tack the whole with
carpet thread every II inches. These
comforts are light and warm. and
in the spring, when no longer need
ed. can be ripped apart and the
covers washed.
Saving Old Clocks-Little brass
popular a while back, but which
have lost their going" powers and
stay stopped, the. face indicating a
time that is wholly wrong all the
time, can be saved for a new pur-
pose by taking out the glass crys-
tai with ease, inserting a picture,
and pressing it back in. Thus the
little clock will be transformed
into a picture frame and its pretti-
ness will still adorn the mantel
shelf
Let sugar cookies cool IN a COW
cred earthen jar lined with clean
cloth.
Keep button bag near the cleo
trio washer for any buttons that
may be wrung off.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am q
young lady/21 and l have been
keeping company with a young mar
two years my senior / have
thought lots OF this young man
and 1 think he has thought lots OF
me. / have never told him of any
place I would like to go but what
he always got 1t for me or made
: arrangements for us to go. He
has got me so many pretty things
that / can never forget him, but
my parents do not like him and
have tried many times and in diff
ferent ways to break US up.
They have told me lots of stor-
les about him which have hurt my
feelings greatly and then if l ask
him about them he says they are
not SO. / do not know what to do.
l have gone with him for nearly
two years. l have given him up
now and have not been with him
for three weeks. asked him to take
back his gifts to me, and he asked
me to keep them. l am now try
ing to go with another young man
but / am not satisfied and l know
my other friend isn't either 1 see
him almost every night and he
looks heartbroken, and does not go
to social gatherings any more. 1
will be very glad il you would ad-
wise me what l should do. "A. B.
First, l would advise you to find
out if there are grounds for your
parents displeasure at your being
friends with the young man, and if
you can prove to them that there
is net, / think your difficulty will
be solved. You are both young,
OF course, and perhaps it would be
better to keep from becoming ser
1ous. Your parents have your best
interest at heart, and would not
want to keep you from happiness,
am sure. Don't merely question
the young man as to his conduct
TO which your parents object, but
get outside Information before you
present the facts.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I wonder
IL you can give me advise on the
following: Am a married woman.
the mother of FIVE children, the eld-
est IL years and the baby girl 4
years old The others are boys.
The greatest part of my married
life has been passed under ny in
laws roof and you know condi-
tons are not always the best that
way. 1 have made the best of it
for the children's sake, but it has
come to where things are unbear-
able. My husband continually
slaps and strikes me, tells me to
take my two smallest ''brats, and
leave He does not work and will
not look for work I have worked
for over a year and supported the
children and myself. He never
buys one article. don't dare
spend a cent for myself and 1 am
getting shabby looking. don't
begrudge a cent I help them with
but isn't there any justice or law
for a mother any more? l try to
keep him in good humor and keep
my two rooms as clean as l can
with seven of US living in them. If
l sing he makes me stop and says
l am trying to annoy his folks. L
try and talk about interesting
things. He thinks every woman is

Notes by Wire.
to The Argus

New York, Jan. 21.-AMany inys-
terious things go under cover in
every city and one of them this
winter is what goes on under spats.
In many instances where ankles
have a tendency to feshiness a
tight bandage or a short elastic
stocking goes on under the spat-
These are not to support the ankle
but to make or keep them slender.
With the present sheer hose. such
bandages show plainly unless a
spat is worn and the woman in
tent on reducing that portion of
her anatomy can wear them only
at night With spat or heavy
wooden hose, however, she can
bandage her ankles in the daytime
and thus prepare for the spring
and summer when hosiery and
ankles each are subject to closer
scrutiny.
Miami. Fla. Jan. 21.-The differ
ence between the severity Of the
northern winter and the soft
breezes of the Gulf stream is not
more marked than between the Sc
we're lines of the hats worn in the
north this winter and the soft and
graceful outlines of the hats max
ing their appearance here. The OFF
the face type has given place in
many instances to the wide, droopy
down turned models of straw and
hair cloth while the winter wells
have developed into soft long chif-
fon streamers which cross at the
back after circling the crown and
float loosely to the waistline. The
trend toward birds as trimming is
increasingly evident, the smaller
birds being frequently used in pairs
as a sidefront trimming.
New York. Jan. 21.-Strange as
it NAV seem, the attention of the
corsetieres Just now is devoted
not TO the more robust figures but
to the woman of slender figure.
Stouter women already are Gus
toners for corsets and brassieres
and the designs now being deyolp-
ed are intended to appeal to those
of slighter form. This appeal for
new custom has resulted in devel-
opment of the long bandeau of soft
lines, daintiness and light weight,
made to fit over the popular waist
line, girdle or corset. This ban
deau is made with an elastic waist
line which permits it to extend over
the topIess corset and is developed
in breaches and satin and in COM
binations of organdie net and silk.
