Choosing the Riddles Clothes

rose for the blue-eyed and faxen
hair. Try your material to the
child's face: Just the least variation
in shade makes lot of difference in
becomingness.
Can the absolute necessity of sim
plicity in the child's wardrobe ever
be emphasized too strongly? On the
contrary, it bears constant repeti-
ton, so widely disregarded is it.
Straight lines, sparse trimming, a
bit Of shocking, a little hand en-
broidery, applique or dainty lace
these are all quite safe.
The poor overdressed victim is
usually of the feminine gender. In
winter is all velvet and lace, bright
colored velvet at that, silk stockings,
too. In Summer she exploits a very
colorful wardrobe of frilly fluffy
frocks, poke bonnets, ct cetera, in
which coquettish costume she goes
shopping with her mother. The idea

Helpful Hints for tn
Busy Housewife

IF button molds are covered wi
soft flannel before you put
silk or other fine material the
will look better and wear longer.
When the food choppers becon
dull a little piece of sandsoap II
through it will sharpen and brighte
the knives.
When buying material for hou'
dresses get enough for two waists il
stead of one. Make waists alike
not as you choose, joining them
skirt at waistline invisibly wit
snaps, hooks and eyes, or buttor
and buttonholes. By alternating th
waists there is a great saving, as ev
eryone knows one skirt will outwea
two waists.
When washing blouses or hand
kerchiefs place a small lump Of orr
root in the rinsing water. 1t vii
give them a delightful perfume o
yiolets, which is quite as lasting a
sachet placed among the clothes.
Don't remove mouthpiece from tn,

to feed the sound waves most effeQ

in PEASANT STYLE

Cross stitch and shocking. Red,
yellow and green, blue and ma
genta Of a pale hue. Big, full
sleeves. And draw strings around
your neck and wrists. This is the
peasant embroidery, and is one Of
the ''best sellers" FaShiOnably
speaking, the Russian peasants
are all the rage.
The blouse shown in the sketch
is popular model and has q
crOSs-stitch design worked around
the bottom and a few stitches ON
the front and neck.
Transfer the designs to the ma
terial with carbon paper and then
work the stitches in silk or wool.
Work according to the pattern,
using large diagonal stitches and
small horizontal and vertical
stitches in the places indicated.
The large design at the bottom,
composed of SWastikaS and fig
ureS, may be used as border, or
the motifs may be used separately.

RANDOM THOUGHTS

owned horse. He knew as much
about horses as we did-no more. He
was college professor. We wrote
him about the mare and he came on
to see her. He liked her. We went
up to the track-we three-and tried
the mare again. Again she did fhe
trick around 2:20. He wanted her.
We sold her at nice profit, paid our
notes and were supremely sad ard
supremely satisfied.
Time passed. Along about Decem-
Der we, were visited by man who
looked like a horse-man. He said
he had been training gray mare be-
longing to a certain naming
our friend-and he understood that
he had bought the mare of us.
We said Eyes, that was the fact"
The man looked us over shrewdly
and seemed satisfied. "The mare is
bred as you say" said he with "a
rising infection. "She certainly is"
said we. "And she had speed when
you sold her?" "She did," shouted
we. "You know what she did on the
track to wagon?" 'Ye-e-s," said
the man. "And the man was there
when he bought her and saw her do
it," said I. "Two-wenty, easy"
Funny" said the man, II have
been driving that mare and there
amt a four-minute horse that can't
beat her. I have been giving her my
best attention and 1 can't get her to
go at all. I've shod and booted her
and she can't go. Something musta'
happened to her or else I aint 10
driver. You drove her a mile in
two-twenty? And the buyer saw it?"
Eyes" echoed we. Where was it?"
said the man, sort of he1plessly. "On
the state fair track" Mile track?"
said the man, for lack of anything
else to say. "No-o-o," said one Of us.
Half-nile track; hanged if I know!
None of us ever thought" "How
many times around did you go?"
shouted the man. "Once," said we.
I have always said that two limo
cent fools, each owning half boss,
can sell to good advantage if they
can get a man for a buyer who is
equally innocent. Boys" said the
man as he went away, "it's all right.
I can sell the mare for driver; but
she amt no speed-hoss and if ever I
do want to sell another boss for
speed, I'll send him to you" And
that was the end OF, my eud of
horse.

FTHE children's clothes require
pretty nearly as much fore
thought and attention as the
grown-up's garb does. No woman
of good taste or fine sensibilities
will overdress a child to give the
impression of affuence. On the 9TH
er hand, the same type of woman
will not dress her child in a hit-or-
miss fashion under the false impress
sion that the kiddy's clothes don't
count in the eyes of the observer.
They do count, and a great deal more
than some people are disposed to
realize.
Color is a worthwhile thing to
think about, and it is easy to find the
right ones. For the child with cop
perry hair, get dull blues, Bluffs and
creamy yellows. For the dark-eyed,
clearskinned little girl, pick cool leaf
grains, lavender and apricot. Sky
blue, navy blue, more lavender and

enamel. With rose or green change
able taffeta founces, a light gray or
fawn-colored paint would combine
well, or white paint would be excel
lent for ruffes of chintz or dotted
swiss.
When the desired material is Sc
lected upon, measure the length from
the top of the case to the floor, and
proceed as if making a skirt. IN
stead of hem, the lower edge might
be bound with fancy braid or a pip
ing of contrasting color. Starting
at the side-back, tack the finished
founce to the top edge and continue
until the center is reached. A sepa-
rate heading Of the same material,
either shirred or plated, will hide
the lacking and make a tidy finish if
sewed to top edge of the f1ounce.

to match the chest below. A chair
covered with toile de Jouy or Gre
tonne will be in keeping and will
make an interesting piece of furni-
ture.
I have even made dressing tables
from packing cases, and if you have
brother or husband who could
build a wooden table or frame with
little compartments underneath these
would make convenient little places
in which to tuck away toilet articles,
undergarments or shoes. The pack
ing case or wooden frame may be
treated alike in the course of con-
struction, but the use of materials for
the founces may be varied. Among
the cheapest will be cheese-cloth
sateen, muslin and cotton crepe. The

Measurements.
Begin by measuring carefully the
front width of the case, mark the ex-
act center and cut two pieces of wood
the length from center to corner.
These pieces should be about one
half inch thick and one and one-half
inch wide. With a small hinge fasten
them securely at each end, so when
in place they will fit closely to the
top edge of the case and come to-
gether in the center. When in use,
these should swing out freely like a
gate.
Paint the inside and out at least
two coats of fiat paint, finishing the
top with one or two coats of thin

ON DOWNING HALF A HORsE.D

lance upon time I owned half
of horse. It was when I
was young reporter on the
newspaper and roomed with a young
man with far more knowledge Of a
horse than I had-and that was not
saying much for him, either. Per-
Sonally hardly knew which end Of
q horse went into a stall first and /
could not have harnessed a horse if
were to have died for not doing it.
She was a gray and high-headed
mare and full of action. We called
her "Notala" for two reasons--one
because we owed for most of her on
q a note, and second, because she had
no tail, or rather a locked tail. We
used to ride some evenings with her
and my friend who was very sue
Cessful in society, used her to take
his various girls out riding. Once
or twice a week I used to get per-
mission to take my half Of the horse
out, and we used to lie awake far
into the night discussing which half
he owned and which half / owned
Along about the latter part Of Au-
gust we discovered that the mare had
speed. A couple of boys can usually
find speed in a horse kept at a liv-
cry stable, on oats, as ours was. We
took on about everything that we
met on the road, and as September
came in, we trimmed some horses on
the way to fairs. The mare had
speed, no doubt about it, and it was
up to us to find out how much speed
b she had, for those were the days
81 when speed in brood mare was val
uable, and our mare was young and
we'll bred. Then, too, state fair sort
J of imbued us with notions about
speed and hoss-fesh; for we loafed
ID around the horse stalls bit.
& After the fair was over, we got
permission to go up to the track and
try out our mare for extreme speed.
we got light wagon and cut out all
of the accessories, such as extra
tires and Neutrality-suspicious., and bor-
rowing split-second stop-watch,
went to the track early in the morn
ing before any of the rail-birds could
o'clock" our mare as she did the
turns. My roommate was to drive
and was to hold the watch on him.
He scored once or twice by way of
warming-up as we had seen the
jockeys do, and finally we let her go
and I held the watch. Delighted!
No name for it! Think of it! Only
2.21A! Remarkable. Again we put
the mare to it, and this time roared

q DRESSING table is no longer
N considered a luxury, but an
a - essential part of a woman's
boudoir. Their decorations offer
women many opportunities for taste
and individuality.
There are some square or slightly
bulged painted chests which are very
good substitutes for period dressing
tables. These chests have from two
to four drawers; they are also very
good looking and will harmonic
with any type of bedroom furniture.
Painted ivory, black or gray, with
perhaps an outline Of a small flower
design in some contrasting color,
they will make a very serviceable
piece of furniture and are moderate
ly priced. A mirror painted to cor
respond and hung directly over and
in back viii be convenient.
No doubt you have several old bu-
reaus that you can remodel and make
into an attractive chest of drawers or
dressing table. Here are a few sug-
gestions: Perhaps your bureau is of
golden oak or walnut, the type which
commonly has a machine-carved
standard supporting mirror, and
carved wood or cheap spun brass
handles. Begin by using the frame
that holds the drawers. This should
be thoroughly free from paint and
varnish. A paint remover will ac-
complish this, Next, liquid filler
should be applied, as the paint re-
mover generally removes the filler as
we'll as the finish. Sandpaper this
lightly before applying two coats OF
ivory-colored paint, which will be
necessary to complete the work.
After applying the first coat, apply
strips of slightly rounded, narrow
picture or cabinet molding which has
been cut the length and height Of the
drawers, d, tt sar
t Cret0nne.
This holding, when nailed to the
top and end of each drawer, will
make a frame for an interesting
piece OF toile de Jouy or cretonne,
which by lacking can be stretched
tightly across the front Of each draw
er. Nail on the moulding with
moulding nails, I'LL the holes with
putty and round wooden glass knobs
will do much towards restoring the
dignity of the piece. If the mirror
should happen to have any superfu-
Dus carving on the frame this may
