Ribbon Sachet Can Be
Made by Amy Woman

Because there seems to be an affinity
between ribbons and perfume the rib
bon sachet makes its appearance in
many new and unique places. The
ribbon sachet is easily made. Merely
sew together two bits Of ribbon, leav-
ing the ends raveled or having them
picoted, and stuff with cotton in which
is a small portion Of GOOD sachet
powder. These may be used in innu-
merable ways. A half dozen of them
may be connected by narrow ribbons to
the interior of the wardrobe trunk, or
glued in the corners Of the drawers of
the trunk. Or numbers of them may
be combined to make the petals Of a
flower on a couch cushion.

Plaitin1gs Are i'm
Order for Season
Decoration, Combined With
Plain Sections, Adds
to Beauty.

Plaitings are the order of the day,
says q fashion writer in the New York
Times, in describing dress which is
u happy combination of plated
aounces and plain sections of material.
The ruffle around the shoulders reaches
only to either side of the front, while
the plated sections on the skirt reach
only across the front, leaving the back
plain, though full enough to be in
keeping with the rest of the design.
The trimming consists only Of one pale
pink rose made of folds Of silk and
supplied with a few sparse green
leaves to give 1t background and to
supply just suggestion of color to the
dress. This touch of color is permis-
sible. 1t is only touch and it does
help to keep the effect of the frock
away from that dead wilderness which,
upon some occasions, does grow to be
a little trying.
However, this is a white season and
the white of the dress is bound to find
a place no matter what the occasion
for its wearing.
One Of the frocks is made with a
real lace fiounce about the shoulders
that droops away into rather cape
effect at back. This dress is made of
soft white crepe of very heavy quail
ity. The skirt is, cut in a somewhat
circular manner on fife sides and

WHY TAKE
LAxATIVES z

Replaced Them.

Pills and salts give temporary relief
from constipation only at the expense
of permanent injury, says an eminent
medical authority.
Science has found newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature it.
self.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this
natural lubricant is not sufficient
Doctors prescribe .Nujol because it
acts like this natural lubricant and
thus secures regular bowel movements
by Natures own method-lubrication
AS Nujol is not a medicine or laxa-
tive, 1t cannot grippe and, like pure
water, it is harmless and pleasant.
Nujol is used in leading hospitals.

GREAT BELL SELDOM ToLLED
don Is Only Run9 on Extremely
Special Occasions.

The great bell of st. Paul's is only
tolled on the death of any member
of the royal family in the line Of de-
scent from any English sovereign.
The honor is paid only to member
of the royal family who could under
any conceivable circumstance succeed
to the throne; though it may be doubt
royal infant not in the direct line Of
succession. This rule does not apply
to the consort of the sovereign, of the
heir apparent, or of prince or
princess on the steps of the throne.
The booming of the great bell Of st.
Paul's was the first intimation which
the citizens of London received Of the
death Of the prince consort, which oc-
cured at IL o'clock on the night of
Saturday, December IA, 1861. Outside
the royal family the only persons for
whom the bell is tolled are the arch
bishop of Canterbury, the bishop Of
London, the dean of St. Pauls and
the lord mayor of London dying in his
year of office. The bell tolled is not
Great Paul, but the old great bell on
which the hours are struck. On the
occurrence of death in the royal fam
fly the home secretary at once COM
municates with the lord mayor, desir-
ing him to convey news to the dean of
st. Paul's with a request that the
great bell be tolled. The bell is then
tolled at intervals Of a minute for
an hour.

An Afternoon Dress
Any Woman Can Make

If you make your own clothes here
is smart afternoon dress of geor-

the same ribbon. This is caught across
the back of the frock at the waistline
by wide ribbon tied on the right side

Come Easy, Go Easy.

Whenever a rich West Virginia coal
operator visits Richmond, the expert
but impoverished poker players of the
town get up a game, says Capper's
Weekly. At recent sitting there were
many sensational hands, big ones that
gathered in small pots and big ones
backed by sturdy self-confidence that
brought in chips by the quarter Of a
peck. Hearts beat fast that night. It
was a party that took courage and con-
tinued until daylight. The next morn
ing when settlement was made the
good provider from West Virginia had
lost $4,000 and one Richmond poker
player had cashed in $4,000, which
may be the reason the price Of coal

Of simmer added. The lace is, after
all, the salient point Of interest for
this frock, and it is fitting that its
beauty should be surrounded with plain
areas of handsome material, the better
to set off the fine sash of its making.
The sash has long been the exclu-
sive property of the young girl. She
can have larger bow and more elab-
crate ends. She can throw herself
into the spirit of the sash, as it were.
This years sash for any occasion is a
thing of particular beauty. 1t creates
a gorgeousness of effect that so usurps
the center of the stage of that par
ticular dress that the dress itself need
be as nothing at all.

TOM The Navajo and other zebra eff

Sweaters of the lovely ice wool, like
the scarfs of the same material, are
rather too perishable to put much
time or money on, yet for that very
reason they will probably be liked,
because their very fragility makes
them extremely dainty.
Knitted dresses have lace designs,
the kind our grandmothers used to

Arsenic in Nature.

1t has long been known that traces Of
arsenic are to be found not only in
human and animal organisms but in
certain plants such as the cabbage,
turnip and potato and in wheat. Jadin
and Astrue, members Of the French
Academy of Sciences, found also that
arsenic is to be encountered in rice,
peas, beans, lettuce, celery, asparagus,
parsnips, and in most vegetables used
as food by man, as we'll as in apples.
