Frocks and Jaquettes of Ribbon
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

There are some frocks that set US
to figuring.
One woman with pronounced
bump of calculation declares that she
can never see a braided suit without
trying to estimate how many yards
of braid it took. Recently she paus-
ed, absorbed for several minutes, be-
fore particularly nice reproduction
of Holbein's Christina of Denmark
the one that was painted to be car
ried to Henry VIII when that Blue
beard monarch thought of adding her
to his list of consorts. You know
the picture-eXquisite taperng fin
gers clasped over the stately folds
of voluminous black velvet gown
edged with sable. She was still in
mourning for her first husband.
We thought the calculating woman
was admirinG the fine tones of the
reproduction. AS matter of fact,
she was only trying TO figure how
many yards of black velvet must have
been used to make the frock. What
was Christina of Denmark to her or
she to Christina?
Ribbon frocks have way of tan
talizinG such calculating folk.
But they are worth while all the
same.
There is a new jaquette that has
appeared at Palm Beach made en-
tirely of ten-inch brocade tinsel rib
bon.
And the sketch shows a young
girls frock made of alternating rows
of two sorts of ribbon-a wide moire
ribbon and a narrower satin ribbon
fagoted together. Both ribbons are
of beige and the fagoting is of green,
with green lining to the sash fash
ioned of still wider beige moire
ribbon.
It's a dress that is apt to prove
Lorelei to the home dressmaker
After she has figured out in her
mind just how much ribbon would
be needed, she is apt to think that
she could very easily reproduce it at
home. She knows how to faSot.
Isn't that enough?
Easy though it looks, the task isn't
simple in the least. 1t is just the
opposite. And the ribbon-made
jaquette is even more difficult.
The fact is that ribbons are always
rather difficult to handle.
The unwary home milliner thinks
1t will be so simple to trim her own
hat with just a great big ribbon bow
she has noticed that many of these
largS bows aren't even wired. They
are made of ribbon so heavy and
wide that they stand out of their
own accord. What could be difficult
about that?
But wait. II you haven't fingers
endowed with certain knack of hat

Learn a Bird a Dav

Length, six inches.

TAN white with black patches.
Resident all the year round, more
common in winter.
The nasal "yank, yank" of the nut
hatch Is a common sound In our woods
when the nesting season is over and
birds begin to gather in f1ocks. This
call of the nuthatch is SO peculiar
that it is soon learned, and his char
acteristic habit of creeping down
tree trunks head first Identifies him
to the eye. Besides insects, he eats
nuts, acorns and corn, which he ham
mers into a crevice or into cracks in
fence rails and then splits open with
his sharp, strong bill. Like his COM

the walls. Lamps stood cozily on the
library table and on smaller tables
scattered about. The chairs were in

What on earth was wrong?
Then all of a sudden my eyes went
to the floor. Handsome rugs lay upon
the foundation carpet of plain dull
blue velvet, and here was where
found the trouble, for every rug was
laid at a different angle from the
others. Slantwise, katty-cornered,
zigZag, they gave the whole quiet,
restful room the air of being all
askew. Eye and brain were both
wearied by trying to follow their
lines, leading in every direction.
Rugs laid on the diagonal, especially
on several different diagonals. lying
in unhappy angles on the tortured
floor, will ruin the effect of any we'll
ordered room. Lay the rugs at right
angles with each other or side by
side, depending upon their size and
position on the floor. One very large

smaller ones at the ends or sides, or

The School Program.

| OF course we must have a program
OF work. To be without one would
mean waste effort and time, and more
or less confusion. But there is no good
| reason to nave the program so fixed and
| so specific that 1t comes before the
child's work, hindering his progress
| rather than helping it on.
| Every teacher knows how the routine
| begins. Now one child reads f1uently and
! intelligently and another scarcely knows
| the words as he painfully calls them in
their printed order.
Benjie'S mind was in full pursuit of
| that example in arithmetic when the
| clock called him off and he hasn't ad-
| Justed himself to the reading at all. He
| feels that example slipping away from
, him and he longs to follow il and drag
! it back to safety. His position at the
desk says reading, but his mind is num-
| bering.
And Caroline, the studious child
blinking wisely behind her specs
doesn't know the place. She is remem-
| bering that story about the key and the
! lightning and wishing the bell hadn't
the storm.
And what is that Job that engrosses
Peter? What is he scribbling SO madly
| behind the sheltering reader? An idea
for his composition for Friday has oc-
CURED to him and he is catching it be-
| fore 1t is lost. Friday is a long way off.

At Last! The Perfect Way
To Garry Your Own Loose Face Powder

never before seen any vanity SO
convenient and so beautiful.
Now that we have told you of
the perfect vanity. let US tell you
about the perfect face powder. La
May Face Powder is more than or
binary powder, because it does more
than just cover complexion
blemishes. This improved formula
contains medicinal powders that
doctors and dermatologists pre-
scribe to improve the complexion,
to remedy skin irritations and to
reduce enlarged pores. 1t stays on
perfectly and does not contain any
rice powder or white lead. In fact,
you will be given five thousand dol
lars reward if you can get any
chemist to find that May con-
tains either of these harmful in
gradients. Because Ia-May is so
pure and so harmless and because it
stays on so well it is used by mil
lions of intelligent women in pref
erence to the most expensive i'm
ported powders; they know there is
no better powder made than La
May. Save this notice.
Evening star., 1923-04-12

For years you have been trying
to find a way to carry your favorite
loose powder. The new LarMay
Sitter Vanity always gives you just
the right amount of powder on your
puff each time you open the cover.
Each time you fill it you can put
in enough powder to last about two
weeks. The puff seals the powder
in the box so perfectly that it never
| spills and even the large mirror in
side the cover never becomes coated
with powder. One side of this new
box holds powder. the opposite side
| rouge. There are two fine mirrors
and two hinged covers, a thick soft
lambs wool powder puff, and yet it
is as thin as the ordinary single
vanity. 1t costs no more than old
fashioned compact boxes. 1t is made

its youthful vanity or lack of it. She
says, with wisdom: Every woman

but since the men seem to be SO
ashamed of their vanity, we have al

fact! I believe that men would just
love to wear the ruffied skirts and gay
cloaks which were worn in times by
gone. When a boy gets away from his
mother or his sisters. he INDUCES In the

Johnny Chuck's first feeling when

he knew it. He could afford to grin

had thought he could climb if he

never known positively that he could.
But after a while the persistent
barking of Bowser got on Johnny's
nerves. Then when Sammy Jay and
Blacky the Crow discovered him and
added their voices to the racket that
Bowser was making Johnny began to
grow anxious. He understood per-
fectly that, though he was safe from
Bowser. he was at the same time a
prisoner. So long as Bowser was at
the foot of that tree he must remain
prisoner. He couldn't leave, no
matter how much he wanted to.
