Present Types of Shoulder Straps
BY MARY MARSHALL.

der strap has a row of artificial roses
attached at the back which hides the
strap on that side of the dress entirely
Whatever the shape or style OF the
shoulder strap, it is adjusted with SUI
ficient care to make sure that 1t stays
in place-and the closer fitting OF frocks
below the arms adds to the increased
security of shoulder straps at present
Shoulder straps that are merely a
continuation of the material of the
bodice are most usual, and these are
usually shaped so that the narrowest
part is directly at the top. Sometimes
there are a few fine tucks at the top
to give the shaping desired.
The very slender shoulder strap OF
the shoe-string variety is frequently
chosen by the women who has acquired
an even coat of tan over her shoulders
These straps sometimes consist OF two
slender cords fastened at each side OF
the bodice-about an inch apart-being
Joined together at the top Of the Shout
ders.
Nothing could be simpler than the
new step-in made from square OF ma
terial for the short ripping skirt ano
two oblong pieces for the top. Yet II
would be hard to find more attractive
little undergarment than this. II you
would like the diagram pattern, please
send me a stamped, self-addressed en-
velope and L will be glad to send it tc
you with directions for making and a

went to let the doctor see her when the
rash was out.
The doctor knew his botany. Uh.
huh, said he, have you a little primrose
in your home? Primrose? Primrose?
Why: no-but, ah, say, the lady Won
dered, ma had a window full of them.
And did the patient visit mas home
often? Sure, every Sunday. Really, it

Well what to do, what to do. Break
the news to mother. Impress upon her
firmly but gently that she can have her
cho1ce-keep the primroses and relin-
quiSh the happiness of cooking and
serving five extra Sunday dinners each
week, or give away the primroses and on
with the dinners. That's the end of the
story. OF course, you know ma.
It is not always so simple, though.
Suppose the victim were engaged in the
floral business and could not so easily
throw away the primroses. Well, in that
case, I believe, though I cannot say
know. that the problem is still sus-
ceptible of solution. The victim could
have his druggist prepare a standard
tincture Of primrose leaves, say 10 per
cent strength, then use, say, one dram
of tincture with two of glycerin and
enough strip of orange to make up 3
ounces. Let the victim begin taking
this internally, single drop in some
water after each meal for the first
week, 10 drops at each does the second
week, teaspoonful twice day there
after. This will, believe, immunize
such sensitive individual against the
primrose.

munize individuals against ivy poison

season. If they wish to enjoy a fair
degree of immunity they must take
course of the homeopathically diluted
rhus. tox. at the beginning of each sea-
son and perhaps an occasional dose

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

What vocation would you advise me
to take up?" That's the question young
people are continually asking their
adult friends.
It's a serious question. Let no one
answer 1t dogmatically or hastily If
vocational advice and guidance, let him
carefully weigh his qualifications be-
fore giving an answer.
Most young people already know
pretty well what they would like to do.
Their vocational ideas have been de-
veloping for years. So when they put
the question to adults, as often as not
they are merely seeking confirmation
on a matter that is already settled or
just about settled. The situation is not
very different from that OF the fellow
who has just bought his new straw
hat. For a few days thereafter he
keeps comparing his purchase with the
offerings still on display in the shop
windows.
Young people are great imitators.
Sometimes they idealiZe and talk about
vocations which they have no real ca
pacity to pursue. AS they arrive at
the late teens or early twenties, they
sometimes sense the errors in their
have not possibly made mistake.
Hence the perennial question.
The immediate relatives. especially
the mother, have noticed signs Of this
growing youthful vocational ideal.
That's why so many parents think
there is a vocational instinct. How
ever, there is no such instinct. The
parent who fancies that this so-called
instinct will some day provide the an
swer may live to learn that 1t has de-
serted its host.
Some young people, like most adults.
are hostile to work. They really would
like to know what calling offers sub
stantial rewards with minimum ex-
penditure of energy.
Two bits of advice. both general in
nature, exhaust the practical assistance
that the average man or woman may
offer the baff1ed youth. First, any pro-
fession or trade is sure to demand care
full, continuous preparation. Second,
the youth who dabbleS around. deferring
final choice. is almost certain to end
up in mediocrity, not to say failure.

Primrose Poisoning Case.

Sudden outbreak of fine itching
rash about the hands, face and neck,
usually occurring in women, and espe-
cially when it happens repeatedly, war
rants suspicion of dermatitis venen-
alta, as we doctors graphically cah it, or
might say. Whether it is because we
are better detectives than our medical
fathers were or because there Is an
actual increase in the prevalence of
sensitivity in the race, it does seem that
all these diseases due to peculiar
sensitivity to poisons are on the in
crease. Primrose poisoning is an in
stance. This was scarcely mentioned
In the medical literature up to 10 or IS
years ago; now there are cases in nearly
every doctors practice.
Here Is one. A young matron has
been in the habit Of spending Sunday
with pa and ma-and taking along her
in on mas inimitable eats. This has
been the rule for the last six years; in
fact, ever since the lady married.
Pretty soft for her, and ma wouldnt
be happy without the regular houseful
Of guests at Sunday dinner, you know.
Well, 1t was fine, until here just lately
it seemed that nearly every Monday or
Tuesday the young matron would de-
velop beautiful rash and itch for a
day or two. Before the week was over
the trouble would be practically gone,
and everybody all set to sail in on
grandma's big feed Then Monday night
or Tuesday morning the same thing
would happen all over again, and the
ungrateful daughter was inclined to
blame it on mas menus; surely, she de-
duced ma was feeding her something
that didn't agree; probably something
too rich for her; yet all the while the
kids and friend husband we're giving
excellent accounts of themselves and
accepting all offerings at grandma
table.
Some of the neighbors assured the
lady that it must be high blood pres
sure or something. Nevertheless she

With Salt Pork.

For breakfast slice some fat salt pork
medium thin, soak it over night in
sweet milk, then in the morning roll
it in -four or cornmeal and fry to q
light brown. If you would prefer this
dish for lunch, make a cream gravy
with the fryings for seasoning and
heat some diced potatoes in 1t for a
side dish.
When making potato soup, take about
six large potatoes sliced thin and add
one cup of chopped salt pork, cover
with water and boil until the potatoes
are soft, first adding chopped onion.
Season with salt, pepper and a few
celery seeds.
When baking a fish, skewer some
slices of salt pork over the fish and 1t
will haste it and keep it from becoming
dry.
A small piece of salt pork, about one
pound, added to boiled dinner when
beef forms the basis of this hearty din
ner dish, adds to the flavor.

Handy Cake Box.

Take an ordinary tin cake pan, used
for loaf cake, punch small hole in the
center of the bottom, and attach a
knob on the outside, like those used on
saucepan covers. Enamel the outside
of the pan any desired color, and paint
or stencil designs on top and sides
Then place the decorated pan on a
round cake board, the edge Of the cake
board to be painted to match the pan
This makes an attractive, handy cake
box and is inexpensive.

NV Neighbor Says:

When polishing floors, If you do
not own a weighted brush, cover
a brick with carpet or several
thicknesses of flannel and rub 1t
over the floors.
To remove mildew stains from
white linens boil them in water
with two tablespoons of peroxide
added to each quart.
Most women pack away rugs IN
wrappers of some kind. An au-
thority on rugs says that while
they may be rolled up, the ends
should be left open. The proper
thing to do Is to beat the rugs
thoroughly out of doors, sprinkle
them literally with camphor, roll
them up, tie them and place them
in light, cool spot.
When sugar gets hard and
lumpy put it in the refrigerator
for two or three days and you
will find it will become soft again.

There are many places in q home

of this kind, from the standpoint Of
decoration as well as lighting. A little

nothing better than applications of cas-

When excessive drynesS is not cor
