widest place (near the top and again
at the bottom of the cover.
In the usual chair back cover of
this type the edges of back and front
portions are bound together with tape
or braid except for a short space at
the top, which should have each side
bound separately. Through this open
ing the top of the chair protrudes,
thus holding the cover securely. II
is this deviation from the usual closed
top found in slipcovers, together with
the shorter length of the cover, that
are distinguishing features of sntima-
CAESAR covers. The front portion of
the chair back is ornamented, and it
is here that the filet initials provide
distinction, whether they are developed
in filet or in cross-stitch.
Decorative, Practical.
This style of chair back gives a
cool and pleasing appearance to dining
room chairs, making the dining room
assume a Summer dress which Is not
so customary as in living rooms.
There slipcovers are generally used
The fancy backs can be used to ad-
vantage on plain porch chairs, trans
forming them from unattractive to
pleasing pieces of furniture The
cross-Stitch initiating is advised for
porch furniture, for the brilliant wors-
teds or cottons used in the embroidery
make them more ornamental But
the decoration is not the sole reason
why these chair backs are excellent
for veranda chairs. They protect
dainty frocks from clinging to paint
or Varnish, which may get a bit
sticky in hot weather.
Fabrics and COIors.
1t takes but very little time to make
these chair backs. Natural colored
linen and unbleached cotton cloth are
pleasing fabrics to be trimmed. Or
the covers may be made of cretonne
and the decoration be omitted. The
palmer material is more in keeping
with the idea of slipcovers, and the
antimacassars semblance is accented
when filet crochet is employed for
ornamental motifs. Do not use lace
around edges, but bind them with
tape. When filet is used it is advis-
able to have the tape match the fab
ric. When colored cross-stitch en-
hroidery is used. have the binding
match some shade in the yarn.

Keeping Hair Glossy.

Whether the hair is glossy or sticky
after a shampoo depends almost en-
tirely on the amount of soap and the
kind of soap used. 1t is not possible
to make the hair clean by using soap
on it only once. The first soaping
only loosens oil and dirt and takes off
a little from the surface. 1t takes
a second soaping, and sometimes u
third to carry away the sticky mix
ture of dandruff, scurf, dust, hair
tonic and the soap and water you've
just used. Each time the soap should
be rinsed off and a second soaping
done in clear water. If possible il
should be hosed off.
This amount of soap will not dry
the hair. 1t is the quality and not the
quantity that does that. A cake of
CASTLE soap melted down with enough
hot water to make a thick syrup is
the best thing to use. 1t will take
two to four times its own weight of

TO dress in the fashion seem TO have
adopted this little frock for every and
all Summertime occasions, generally
preferring it to the two-piece type
OF frock.
And this is just by way of remark
ing that belts and girdles don't seem
to be of much Importance any more.
And once every frock had a girdle or
belt, made separately, usually, not at
tached to the skirt or waist with
which it went. A woman would have
felt terribly embarrassed If she had
TO go out without her belt on. There
was betting ribbon of a very tough
sort, because belts were drawn very
snug. This betting ribbon we called
Petersham ribbon, and Petersham il
is still called though it is no longer
used for making belts. There were
PeterSham coats worn by men many.
many years ago, named after Lord
Petersham, who set the fashion for
these large uIsters. The cloth from
which they were made was called
Petersham, and a ribbon that re-
sembled the texture of the cloth came
to be known as Petersham ribbon.
Now there is no further need for this
ribbon in the making OF belts but the
miliners have appropriated it for the
trimming and making of hats.
Sometimes the betting ribbon
chosen is of solid tone, but oftener 1t
is one of the so-called fancy weaves,"
showing ribs that run crosswise, al
ternaung-frst dark one and then
light one, and sometimes there is an
ornamental edge.
Some of the little brimless toques
of French inspiration are made en-
tirely of a wide betting ribbon with
crisp loops of the ribbon at one side
or front.
For sport wear there are small
crush shapes, made with interlacings
of the ribbon. The sketch shows a hat
of this description of purple betting
ribbon, the brim rolling in front and
dwindling to nothing at the back.

What TomorrowMeans to You
Leo.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Leo.
Tomorrows planetary aspects are
of rather a negative character, and
do not indicate anything or a very
positive nature. They seem to de-
note a period of uncertainty for
those in the employ of others, and
necessitate for these a policy of stop,
look and listen" For others, however,
the signs are more propitious, and
they may make advantageous
changes and journeys, as financial
opportunities are well supported by
a friendly stellar combination. Risk
and speculation hazard must be
avoided. In the evening, the condi-
tions become very benign and pre-
sage happiness and success in all
affairs relative to the heart.
A child born tomorrow will have a
more or less erratic infancy, as a re-
suit of the many ailments to which it
will be subject. With good environ
ment and proper nutrition. it will
successfully overcome. those early
weaknesses. and materialize into a
robust and healthy manhood or
Womanhood, as the case may be. In
character and disposition, it will al
ways be restless, nervous and un-
settled, and never disposed to tackle
where persistency is needed. 1t will
always want to be on with the new,
before getting rid of the old. 1t will
possess dynamic energy and be hard
working-great virtues in themselves
when allied with constancy of ideas
and continuity of plans.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are shrewd and intellectual, with
cultured tastes and high ideals. You
are somewhat extreme in your views
and too positive in your opinions
Judicial temperamentality is not one
of your assets, yet, although opin-
donated and willful, you are invariably
just and generous. You do not ''toot
your own horn," and, when you do a
kind or noble act, never advertise the
fact, and use your best endeavors to
keep others from knowing about it.
You are. more popular with mem
bers of your own, than with the
members of the other sex. Friends
have always found you to be both
loyal and discreet. You are much at
tached to your home, and it's ties
mean a great deal to you.

and promoter; Frederick T. Freling-
huysen, public man; oliver P. Nor

Filet crochet can be employed in so
many distinctive ways that there
seems to be no end of ideas that can
be developed which include this hand
some lace. Two ways of using it to
trim covers will be given today, one
for chair backs that are decidedly out
of the ordinary and the other for
cushion tops in combination with tilet
insertion and lace edging.
II the cushion cover is for boudoir
pillow use all white in developing il,
but II it is for sofa pillowtop en-
ploy color or make 1t in natural toned
linen. In either of the latter ways
the work is robbed of any too dainty
an appearance, and is put in the class
OF handicraft fancy work suitable to
use in the main rooms of q house, on
a porch or in a hammock. 1t should
be remembered that filet designs can
be carried out in cross-stitch equally
we'll II canvas is basted over fabric
and the blocks worked in worsted.
cotton or silk thread. This embroid-
cry is recommended for initials on
pillows where brightness and gay
colors are wanted.
And now let us consider the chair
back, as the kind to which l refer is
quite apart from the usual. 1t is
cross between a slip cover and an anti
macas ssar. The cover is made to fit
the contour OF the chair. 1t can be
pulled off and on like any slipcover,
but it also is decorative like an anti
macassar and dresses up the chair at
the same time that protection is given
the back.
Home Made Patterns.
No patterns come for these chair
back covers, since each chair requires
its particular shape to be followed.
However, any woman can cut her own
patterns from newspaper, being sure
that the pattern fits. One thing 10
remember is that the lower part of the
pattern must be wide enough to slip
over the widest part of the chair back.
In many instances, therefore, the
lowest part of the chair back cover
(Which should come about two-thirds
of the way to the seat does not really
fit the back at this place. When the
curve in a chair back is very pro
nounced the two portions of the cover
should be made entirely separate, just
the same shape as the chair and be
tied together with ends of tape at the

hadn't been seen. This was the third
narrow escape Danny had had since
he reached the Smiling Pool but he
was so used to narrow escapes that
now that it was over he didn't give it
another thought.
There is no time to think of things
that have happened ! need all my
time to think of things that may hap
pen," says Danny. And when you
come to think of it, that is a very good
way of looking at matters.
Just now Danny was chiefly con-
cerned with getting to shore and so
back home on the Green Meadows.
The piece of board on which he was
sitting made q raft for him. 1t was
caught in the outer edge of the rushes
at the upper end of the Smiling Pool.
From it to the shore was quite a dis
tance for such a small fellow as Danny
Meadow Mouse. However, he felt
quite equal to the swim. He wasn't
at all afraid of drowning.
Danny looked through the rushes to-
ward the shore. III wait few min
utes," said he to himself, Just to
make sure that the way is clear. 1t
won't take me long TO swim that far
I just want to make sure that it is
safe. Now that Billy Mink is out of

I need fear. But just the same I'll
wait a minute. There is nothing like
being sure
So Danny waited Inside of a min
ute he was glad, oh so glad, that he
had waited. He was just about to
plunge in when he saw u little move

JULIUS BLEDSoE THE NEW
BARITONE ARTIST MADE
A GREAT HIT AT ORCHES-
IRA HALL WEDNES SDAY
EVENING

Wednesday evening the new Bari
tone singer, Julius Bledsoe, made
what might be called his first real
public appearance in Chicago, and
from his first number on the pro-
gram to the last number he took his
white and colored audience by storm
and he was forced to render several
encores.
1t IS very much to be regretted that
every seat in Orchestra Hall was not
occupied by the lovers OF high class
singing, but it was not half filed
and it will be long time before the
people in this city will be fortunate
enough to listen to his equal for he
possesses a clear and strong voice
His recommendations are absolutely
perfect and clear and he is fully cap
able with his large volume Of voice OF
easily moving up and down the musi-
cal register with the greatest of ease.
He makes most splendid appear
ance before his critical audience and
in our humble opinion he has no su-
perior as a Baritone singer in America.
