for yourself how easy it would be to
make use of the idea in one of your
own dresses this Autumn.
The dress in question was made of
black wool crepe with white wool trim
ming but you can combine any har-
monious colors you like. On brown
dress you might use Spanish tile or
green wool yarn. On a green dress you
might use either brown or Spanish tile
or a lighter shade of green. On black
you could use brown, green, Spanish
tile, or beige.
The border trimming is the old
fashioned 'one-two-three" stitch.
Thread a coarse needle with the wool,
attach 1t to the edge of the dress where
you want the trimming to appear and
proceed with a buttonhole stitch, tax
ing stitches about quarter of an inch
apart and making the first stitch about
one-third of an inch deep, the second
two-thirds of an inch deep and the last
an inch deep. The trimming appears
around the neckline and down the
front closing.
Then, to carry out the idea, you
should have string and balls of the
wool. The strings are made by a SIM
pie chain done with crochet hook. To
make the balls, wind wool on card
about an inch and half wide. Slit
the card at the sides until 1t is nearly
cut in two, insert strand of wool in
these Sits and draw up, breaking the
card and removing it at the same time.
Tie securely and cut the ends Of the
wool that has been wound round the
card. After that trim the wool to form
smooth round ball and attach 1t to
the ends of your chain stitch ring,

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

His first book, published many years
ago, has the title, Underground Min
ing" This volume is a compilation OF
lectures which the President gave from
1908 to 1910 as nonresident professor
of engineering at Columbia University.
Another book to his credit is de
Re Metallica," on which Mrs. Hoover
elaborated This book, probably his
most ambitious undertaking, was writ
ten for friends with no idea of general
circulation
Mr.. Hoover can't be said to be fond
of writing He does not write for the
sheer joy of creating, but rather be-
cause he regards it the best way OF self
expression.
He Is careful and painstaking, how
ever, in everything he composes. The
length of time spent usually depends
on the importance of the occasion. His
message to the coming Congress has
been uppermost in his mind for many
months.
1t probably will be the most i'm
portant thing he has yet written.

important as an interesting character.
Art schools often use elderly persons
as models, those who have had hard
times, and whose faces show struggle.
Much of this work is done in the eve
ming.
1t pays fairly well, averaging about
rs cents an hour. 1t is hard work but
you don't have to do it many hours
at a time. 1t isn't by any means all

draws only hand, sometimes only a

pie. Many young people find it too

There are strict rules when the art
list poses in the nude. No outsider
can come in without getting permission
from the model.
Work for private artists comes in
two classes. There are the portrait
painters, who try to do beautiful work.
They work slowly, and posing for them
pays only about a dollar an hour. They
are demanding, and, being creative art
lists, are often unreasonable, but usu-
ally kind and infinitely patient.
The other kind of work is for COM
mercial artists. This is quicker and
easier. 1t pays three or four times as

Ill this Runty, the little Postum
n whom Black Pussy had caught,
~ was finding out for himself
1 \ He was learning much and
learning it fast, was Runty.
But it wasn't comfortable nor in any
way pleasant. In fact 1t was ter
rible scary way Of learning a lesson.
However, some lessons are best learned
that way. They are the ones least
likely to be forgotten.
1t was one thing to watch Unc' Billy
Postum fool Flip the Terrier by play
ing dead, and quite another thing
actually to be the one who was trying
to fool an enemy. It was one thing to
practice playing dead and wholly diff
ferent matter to be playing dead for
his life. There could be no mistakes
now. Just the least little mistake
might cost him his life.
Now Runty knew just what he
should do, He should play dead but
also he should bide his time and watch
for a chance to escape. There would
be just as much folly in letting such
an opportunity pass as there would be
in letting Black Pussy know that he
was still alive. So Runty, lying there
looking as dead as dead Postum could
1pOh, Wao Oil LilC tCly oA@fS
and very much awake.
"Ah must watch out To- nah chance, "
he kept saying over and over TO him
self.
Now Black Pussy wasn't hungry. She
hadn't caught Runty because she want
ed him to eat, at least not right away.
She loves to hunt and that is why she
had caught him. Had she been very
hungry playing dead would have done
Runty no good; she would have eaten
him at once. But not being hungr.
Black Pussy was undecided what to do.
She wanted to take Runty home to
show Farmer Browns Boy what q
smart hunter she was, and she wanted
to hunt some more. Which should she
do? There she sat trying to make up
her mind, Runty lying at her feet.
1t was the rustling OF leaf off at
one side that decided the matter.

long Here, beauty and regularity of
feature and figure are more important
than character or expression. Sometime
you suit an artist so well that he uses
you as a permanent model, and you go
on a weekly basis.
There is still another branch Of the
work and that is commercial photogra
ply. Advertisers need models con-
stantly, Also, many magazines use
Photographic illustrations. If you can
make kood at this kind of work it is
steady and pays well. 1t is not hard,
because it takes only little while to
make even the most difficult photo
graph.
The most successful Photographic
model at the moment makes several
hundred dollars a week and is kept busy
every moment. She has strong face
and a lovely figure. You can hardly
pick up a magazine without seeing her
face about four times in its pages.

Runty heard it, too, and wondered who
