SEWING BASKET
A RED CHINESE BLOUSE

It is an established fact that things Chinese are just the smartest of the smart. There are Chinese hats, or rather caps. Chinese coats and every type of Chinese dress. or part of a dress. One example is true to type, but not too much so, as the greatest fault with these big fashion influ- ences is that they usually are carried too far Remember the1 Egyptians and beware. Don't carry the new mode too far and it will remain with us longer.
 f The little blouse is true vermillion color, like Chinese lacquer. and the braid is of dull gold. hile the sleeves are made of pleated pale yellow chif- ion. Down the front opening is a row of delightfully."- shiny brass buttons, placed at every point where there is a loop of the braid. The blouse is made to fit very tight, cut slanting in at the waist line,. then flaring suddenly out to form the slight shirt effect, which is opened up at either side few inches The neck has been cut so that it will just fit comfortably about the base of the throat and is edged with braid and fastened with a button. The sleeves are cut to curve over the shoulders and then stop, after being trimmed with three loops each. A band of red with a single line of braid form the cuff. and all that is needed is dark. straight skirt to complete the effect.

BEAUTY TALK
By DR. LILLIAN WHITNEY THE CARE OF THE TEETH

Just as the simplest advice and the simplest remedies are always the best. so very simple means are at our com mand for preserving and beautifying the teeth. Common salt is excellent as a cleanser, acting a the same time as a tonic, hardening the gums and stimu- lating the parts generally. Prepared chalk is also very good as a simple tooth powder. A nice tooth powder consists of precipitated chalk. I ounces powdered borax. ? ounces; powdered myrrh. T. ounces: powdered orris root, 1 ounce and carbonate of mag nesia, 1 F ounces.
 The general use of astrinsent mouth washes is condemned because certain tissues require them while others re- quire stimulation. Some experiments made on dogs showed that the constant use of astringentS interfered for hours , with the proper action of saliva upon sstarchy foods. An antiseptic mouth wash with proper tooth brush, powder or paste and tine use of dental floss. IS all one requires except Tn such an- 2 healthy conditions as pyorrhea.
 The teeth should be cleaned every six months by dentist. as tartar is bound Ito collect around the bases, lOosening hem; it also makes the gums spongy g9 nd affects dhe saliva. thus making the food harder to. digest. A good deal of mischief can he set up in the teeth in six months. and it is capital plan 10 examine ones owR teeth very carefully between times-with dental mirrow- for tiny cavities that can neither he seen nor felt Many teeth can be saved for years with this slight precaution. for when a tooth begins to ache II is pretty far gone.

Says Alabama Has State Song
 sOf Its Own

In an exchange the past week came Ehe comment that Alabama has no state knong. Miss Emma Mccarthy. president cf the Federation of Music clubs says
 labama has a song and has the follow Eng to say:
 In recent issue of The Age-Herald in your columns appeared an article 1 copied from the Mobile Register. which stated that it was to be deplored that Alabama did not have a state song and urging composers of the state to write one.
 M As president of the Alabama Fedora lion of Music clubs I do not feel that can allow that statement to go un- corrected. Alabama has a state song. In 1917 Mrs. Victor Hanson of Birmingham, then president of the State Federation of Music clubs, offered a prize to the composers in Alabama who would furnish musical setting to the poem Alabama" written by Julia Tutwiler. In 1918 at the convention of the music clubs held in Gadsden, that prize was won by Mrs. Edna Gockel Gussen of Birmingham
 Mrs. Gussen's Alabama" has been adopted as the official state song of the federation and by other similar organi cations, I believe. At the biennial con- vention of the National Federation of Music clubs held recently in Asheyille. N. C., Alabama delegates had the pleas ure and opportunity of singing OUT state song on several occasions.
 On Alabama day the musci clubs of Alabama celebrated that day pretty generally over the state and an every program Alabama" was sung.
 It would be very wise for the Rotary. Kiwanis. Civitan. Community and other similar organizations over the state to | get copies of Alabama and learn II and when they attend national gather ings there will be no occasion to be eTl- |-' arrassed because they think we have 10 state song. Alabamians, learn your State song now.
 M Thanking you for space for this cor e rection, l am, cordially yours. EMMA MCCARTHY. President Alabama Federation of Music N Clubs.

 Marian's temper was getting beyond her control now. But it took the form of unnatural calmness.
 You must be thankful she said slowly, 'that he has one daughter who does not indulge in the sinful pastime of dancing and who makes friends with the clergy. You have your way of getting what you want, Lois. I have mine. Last night you entertained the Reverend Mir. Sumner. You told dad of it. I went to DeLisle's. I told dad of that, too. I do not think that my admission troubled him bit more than yours did. In fact, he took both state- ments in a natural way"
 , But you did not" Lois exclaimed. You were angry because I did not tell you that Mir. Sumner was coming here last night"
 ''Ah, you knew :he was coming, did you? You admit that?" Marian re- marked. "The only difference between our course-yours and mine-was that you did not tell your family who was to be your companion last evening and I did tell who mine was to be. Just a difference in methods. my dear sister, that's all. It was nobody's business that the parson was coming to call unless, of course, he expected to see dad and me also.'

 That's what I told MT. Sumner Y Lois remarked vindictively.
 Marian stood very still for a mo- ment. 'So," she said slowly, you told him that, did you?"
 "Yes P defiantly.
 T wonder why you told him that" the younger girl unused aloud. You must have had some good reason. But I confess do not see just what it was unless to make him dislike me. And why should you want him to dislike me, Lois?"
 Lois did not reply, and, after a mo- ment's waiting, her sister spoke again.
 That kind of method does not pay, my dear. In the long run it will bring you nothing. Unless-are you listen ing, Lois s?--unless, I say, I decide to let you get away with that sort of stuff. In which case the victory will be mine. You may not know it, but I will. And that will be my reward"

THAT WORD?
CRAXAT

It happens in all languages that the name of some article of wear is de- rived from the name of the nation ality that introduced it. That. is the case with the French world cravat, or eraba. which the ancestors of some of. us promptly adopted.
 The nationality that intrdouced the article of neckwear in question were the Croats or Croatians, or as the Hungarians used to call them, the Horvats In one of the many wars which Austria fought with France the Austrians brought many Crotian soldiers with them, in 1636.
 These Croats wore as part of their uniforms strip of cloth around the neck. The Parisian dandies. all though they did not like the Croat troopers. took readily to the detail of the neckpieces which they wore. And the English dandies borrowed the fashion from their French colleagues.
