sister states that henceforth she was
to be known as the "Tree-Planter
State" because this commonwealth,
which had once been so markedly
destitute of this form Of verdure, now
had more than 100000 acres planted
in trees.
The celebration of Arbor day in
1922 had special significance since it
was the fiftieth anniversary of the
founding of Arbor day and at that
time Charles Lathrop Pack, president
of the American Tree association, an
nounced his far-seeing plan for cele-
brating the centennial of Arbor f1y
in 1872. His idea is summed up in
these words. "Plant centennial
tree and register it with the Ameri-
can Tree association so that your
name will be on the honor roll of
tree-planters and good citizens fifty
years from now" Since then the as
sociation has urged this idea upon
Americans so that thousands Of trees
will be planted and marked by 1872
and the centennial celebration of that
year may be made the greatest ever
held in this country.

/ that the needlewoman can do 1t with
out any trouble. Then she may even
become fond Of sewing, which has been
considered from the earliest days as an
accomplishment, and embroidery as one
of the fine arts.
When a needle sticks run 1t few
times through an emery. 1t Is not
necessary to unthread the needle TO do
this. When the tip Of the needle ap-
pears through the emery ball, usually
strawberry shaped, put the thumb nail
against the tip and the nail OF the fore
finger against the eye end, Move the
hand back and forth so that the needle
rubs against the emery vigorously for
few times and 1t will run as smoothly
as If oiled.
While speaking of needles it is well
to know that if one breaks the tip 1t
can be reshaped by rubbing across an
emery board. Keep the needle rotating
between the thumb and forefinger while
the end is brushing the emery board
with rapid motion. Machine needles
can be so retipped. This Is o trick that
has proved invaluable to those who are
where it is difficult to get needles. !

lived in Asia Minor for years. She said

them in like manner.

Waxing thread also strengthens 1t
and makes it slip through the material

discrepancies where strands are twisted
together. Shoemakers wax their thread
carefully. It slips through the leather
without pulling it and leaves the wee

The thing that often distinguishes the
homemade gown from the professional
creation Is a certain lack Of sophistica-
ton In details and fit. BY taking pains
to compare her work with that Of sue
cessful modistes and correcting 1t, the
home dressrnaker can make clothes that
are not o whit less chic than the most
expensive importations.
BY the same attention to details mi
lady may learn to dress her own hair so
that her couture will be becoming and
modish. Readers Of this column some
times send me their photographs when
they ask for couture suggestions. The
trouble with most Of these coiffures is
that they lack character. The waves
In the hair are not definite enough. The
hair has not been treated decoratively
with reference to the shape of the face
and the features. The part has not been
put in at Just the right point. Too
much or too little of the forehead Is
shown. The eyebrows are too pale or
too scraggly.
The first essential in building chic
couture is to study your face. Don't
place the part in q hit-or-miss fashion,
but experiment until you have found
the best position for 1t. Now decide now
much of your forehead needs to be COW

high, use q side part and bring. your
hair in o deep dip over the center OF
your brow (A) If you use waterway

bring this first wave over your forehead.
If you use kids or hot irons, the same
idea should be kept in mind. Never
have a dashboard" marcel in which
the ripples are as stiff and even as a
