from any effort of a radical nature
and to maintain poiSe and equilib

iomary character should receive care
full attention and no new enterprises
should be attempted Speech and ac-

Fringe Knotted Heavily at the Top
ny MARY MARSHALL.

Heavy fringe seems to have been
abandoned by the upholsterers and
interior decorators only to be taken
up fervidly by the dressmakers. For
the sort of fringe that is SmarteSt t
the present time is knotted heavily
at the top-the sort that used to be
fastened around the bottom and hang
from the arms cf stuffed chairs.
The sketch shows dinner gown or
burnt rusSct satin crepe, used dull
side out, with matching fringe around
The sleeves and in panel effect on the
skirt.
One of the smartest models il eve
ming frocks of the present Autumn
consists of the most severely simple
slip of satin or georgette. 1t is
sleeveless. fairly lownecked and
made perfectly plain to the hips,
where a wild. fringe is attached be-
meath AN ornamental Girdle. The
fringe is usually tied into knots at
The top, making Il pattern for a few
inches and then hanging straight to
the hem of the skirt.
Some Of the long tunics are fringe
trimmed. one Of brocaded velvet has
long panels at front and back. Others
have the fringe arranged at either
side, but not at back or front.
Uncut fringe is something OF nov
city and is applied to some of the
new frUcks with a knotfd border at
either side. Narrow fringe has its
appeal no less than wide fringe, and
is used effectively for edging sleeves,
and on one coat frock is used the en-
tire length of the opening-from chin
t. hem.
ScarfS of all sorts still carry much

fur fringe. Monkey fur, you know.

sometimes black monkey and some
times monkey fringe dyed TO a pre-

Good Ingredients is the second
Fairy. Her salary is far greater

the Corbys tested flour - the best
that can be had from the sunniest
wheat fields Of the world. She
brings them pure, rich milk and the
Corbys use more milk than is usu-

things, Good Ingredients costs the
Corbys a great deal Of money, but
they say that what she does for

Fairy, Efficiency. She is, oh, SO
strict and stern! She has an enor-
nous eye, called the Eye OF Science.
You can't fool that Eye. 1t looks
right through everything, and meas
ures it with Laboratory Test, very
exact instrument. Efficiency makes
sure that everything is spick and

just as Skill says it should be. II

HOW TT STARTED
The Alarm Clock.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

How many of you. when the alarm
calls you from bed. perhaps before
sunrise, have great curiosity as to the
origin of the mechanism?
The alarm in clocks is just a fur
ther development of the striking ap-
paratus which had its origin in the
earliest days of tire clock itself A.
a matter Of fact, the principal func-
tion Of clock. according to medieval
conception, was that it automatically
call out the hours. particularly the
hours for devotion. This is proven by
the word itself which originally
meant bella meaning which has
been retained in the French word
"cloche.''
The first alarm was merely the
striking of each hour, or such hours
as were designated by the priesthood
to rouse them for morning devotion.
For centuries the hours at which the
clock struck could not be varied
after it was built.
The mechanism which permits set
ting II for a certain time is the re-
suit of constant development and I'M
pro@ement which fructified in modern
inventive genius.
