prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
One of the most convenient devices
for keeping all sewing equipment in
place is a sewing screen. 1t consists
of two panels (28 inches high and 1879
inches wide made of 1 by 2-inch plank
hinged together and each panel COW
cred with burlap. A pocket is fastened
to the bottom of each panel on the in
side, and hooks are placed on the bot
tom of the cross pieces to hold the nee
essary equipment. Pegs or nails driven
into the top of one of the cross pieces
will hold the spools. A drop shelf at
tached to the upper part Of our panel
makes a good work table, and groove
in the top of the cross pieces will hold
buttons. This folding sewing screen
is light In weight, requires little space
and ear be easily carried to the porch
or lawn for sewing work.
The following supplies are conven-
tent to have at hand in the screen be-
fore beginning to sew:
Needles of good make and assorted
sizes. Sizes Z, 8, 9 and 10 are most
used.
Threads, also of good make and as
sorted Sizes A spool each of Nos. 80,
20 and 100 and basting thread should
be on hand.
A plain. substantial thimble. Cellu-
loid or aluminium makes a good, mex
pensive thimble; a brass one is not de-
sirable because it may stain your Thin
ble-fnger if it gets moist with perspira-
ton, and may poison you If there is a
sore place on your finger underneath
1t.
A pair of sharp shears, with blades
about five inches long, for cutting
cloth.
A pair of small, sharp scissors with
good points, for cutting threads, re-
moving hastings, etc.
An abundance of medium-sized,
sharp-pointed pins Fine pins are easier
to use than coarse ones.
A small pincushion.
A tape measure.
A few pieces Of cardboard to use as
cages.
A pencil.
An emery bag for polishing needles

Should Choose CoIors
That Will Suit Eyes

For those who wear blouses and
shirtwaists the most important point
to remember is that the cut of the
neckline makes or mars the contour
of the face just the right cut forms
a setting for the head. Ribbon ties
bows, medallions, jabots of different
colors add greatly to tho fresh look
of a waist; also add variety and make
one blouse seem many. Ribbons worn
at the neck line should be carefully
chosen as to color. Color worn near
the face affects the shade of the eyes.
The right colors brighten, intensity
and beautify the eyes; wrong colors
dull, fade or spoil the coloring or ex-
preston of the eye.

Bingham Morning Dresses;
Novelty Sweaters Popular


BINGHAM and its sister fabrics,
chambray and percale, are always
sure of representation in the summer
modes, but occasionally comes a sea-
son which shows Bingham far ahead
OF its rival wash-fabricA in popular
favor. Just now fashion points per-
sistently to ginghams for morning
frocks, apron frocks and house
dresses. In the displays, other cottons
and some linen bear them company
but must be satisfied to hold second
place-being greatly outnumbered by
ginghams.
Nearly always some other cotton in
plain weave, as piQue OF chambray,
is used in conjunction with Bingham,

noted particularly in this respect and
they were the extensive use of plating
and a center front drape effect intro
duced in one model.
The maturity of draping is not ex-
plotted, as the effect is obtained
through the use of a panel of self ma
terial gathered to draped girdle.
Shaped sleeves which have graceful
points add length of line to the model
shown in green crepe de chine.
A style which has proved successful
is developed in brocaded crepe de
chine, white or colors. This claims
as its only trimming fine shirred cord
ing about the neck and sleeves and
below the belt line which is further
Indicated by little standing ruche Of
the material.

becoming frocks that will prove joy
In summer time. The perennial fresh
ness of tub frocks endears them to
women.
There is a cheerful tendency to
bright and pleasing colors, especially
for house dresses and style is an i'm
portant factor in their success. But
designers see to it that they are SIM
pie enough to launder well and that
they may be easily put on and off.
Knitted art has grown out of the
experimental stage into a plane tri-
umphant. Before our admiring eyes
panorama of wondrous knitted gar
ments is furnishing continuous style
program wherein decorative scheme
and novelty are playing leading part.

stration in the way of knitted toys no

and smoothing them when they become
rusty or sticky.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture says that such a screen
can be made of the following:
Ten feet of lumber III by ~ inches.
Six 11z-inch (butt) hinges with
screws to be used in joining. the panels
and fastening the drop shelf TO the
cross pieces.
One handle with screws for the top
of screen.
One hook and eye to fasten the
panels when they are folded and
closed.
Two yards of burlap, denim or can
vas, 10 inches wide.
One dozen brass cup hooks.
One yard cretonne for pockets.
One yard one-half-inch elastic for
top of pockets.
Four dozen upholstering tacks for
lacking burlap.
Sandpaper and stain.
Selecting coIors.
Care should be taken in selecting
good colOrS in materials both Tor pOcK-
cts and for outside covering. The col
ors in the cloth should harmonic with
the color of the stain for the wood.
Oftentimes very good dyes and wood
stains can be made from nut hulls,
roots. berries and bark of trees. The
cloth, not being the same texture, will
take the dye in little different shade
of the same color than the woodwork
If the identical barks or shells are
used for rsaking the stain for the
frame.
Wood Stains.
To make a good brown stain for the
frame cover three pints of bruised
green walnut bulls with three pints Of
water and allow to stand for twelve
hours. Strain through double cheese
cloth and add one ounce of permangaS
nate of potash. This stain may be
made in larger quantities and used for
floor stain. 1t gives rich brown floor
finish. IF a semi-waxy appearance is
desired, one quart Of paraffin oil can
be added. A similar stain can be pur-
chased on the market at a reasonable
price.

wonder the fashion public is tuned to
the highest pitch of expectancy Nor
has the stylist been found wanting.
That the challenge has been accepted
by the designers of knitted outerwear,
is evident, as the pageantry of hand
some garments continues to unfold be-
fore our admiring eyes.
Interest ever centers about the
sweater and this season tells q story
of undated achievement. In the in.
stance of the fanciful sweater here
with pictured, the novelty vest is the
outstanding style note. The body OF
this chic sweater is gray, its neutral
tone accenting the gay orange and blue
checks of the vestae. Study well the

Ribbon and Perfume
Used in Combination

Because there seems to be an affin-
ity between ribbons and perfume the
ribbon sachet makes its appearance in
many new and unique places. To be-
gin with, the ribbon sachet is more
easily made than any other. Merely
sew together two bits of ribbon, leay-
ing the ends raveled or having them
picoted, and stuffing with cotton, In
which is a small portion of a good
sachet powder. These may be used
In innumerable ways. A half dozen
of them may be connected by narrow
ribbons to the interior of the ward
robe trunk, or glued In the corners
of the drawers of the trunk. Or num-
bers of them may be combined to make
petals of a flower on couch cushion.

bined with gingham in the body OF the
frock This rule holds good in dresses
for grown-ups and juniors alike and
bingham begins its usefulness with
the youngest members of the family
and ends it with the Oldest. In utility

in play dresses for children, plain
materials are usually confined to ac-
cessories as in the pretty frock pic

pockets are made of white pique out
lined with chain stitching and decor
ated with simple needlework. Often
for morning or porch dresses a
checked gingham skirt and plain
chambray bodice are joined, with
bands OF chambray adjoining the skirt
and bands of Bingham doing like serv-
ice for the bodice, sometimes aided by
a vestee or collar. There are number

since his talk with her father the day
before.
The afternoon was not warm enough
to sit outside; in the club house were
gathered groups of men and girls
who had come In from the golf course
or from watching the polo practice.
She found herself now facing one Of
these groups composed Of some OF her

waters In the recess before some win

a chair was pushed forward for her,
and two Of the girls made q place for
Eaton on the window seat between
them.
AS they seated themselves and were
served, . Eaton's participation in the
polo practice was the subject OF con-
versation. She found, as she tried to
talk with her nearer n%eighbors, that
she was listening instead to this more
general conversation which Eaton had
joined. She saw that these people
had accepted him as one Of their own
sort to the point Of TESTING with him
about his lucky" polo stroke for q
beginner; his name toward them
was very different from what It had
been just now to herself; he seemed
at ease and unembarrassed with them.
One or two of the girls appeared to
have been eager-even ~anyious-to
meet him and she found herself oddly
~resenting the attitude Of these girls.
Her feeling was indefinite, vague; 1t

club was coming down, Eaton, Like a
flash and apparently without lifting
his mallet at all, caught the ball a
sharp, smacking stroke. 1t leaped like
q bullet, straight and true, toward the
goal, and before Avery could turn, Ea-
ton was after it and upon it, but he
did not have TO strike again il bound
ed on and on between the goal-posts,
while together with the applause for
the stranger arose a laugh at the eX-
pense Of Avery. But as Donald halted
before her, Harriet saw that he swas
not angry or discounted, but was
smiling triumphantly to himself; and
as she called in praise to Eaton when
he came close again, she discovered
in him only dismay at what he had
done.
The practice ended. and the players
rode away. She waited in the club
house till Avery and Eaton came up
from the dressing rooms. Donald's
triumphant satisfaction seemed to
have increased; Eaton was silent and
~preoccupled. Avery, hailed by a group
of men, started away; as he did so,
he saluted Eaton almost derisively.
Eaton's return of the salute vas open
ly hostile. She looked up 1T him
keenly, trying unavailingly TO deter
mine whether more had taken place
between the two men than she herself
had witnessed.

did you want to pretend you hadn't?'
He made no reply. AS she began to
talk Of other things, she discovered
with surprise that his manner toward
