that her appointment schedule
is usually filled several days
prior to her arrival.
From the selection of mate
rails placed at Nine. Marsi's
disposal, she chooses the hat
body best suited to the wearer's
needs, draping it on the head
to bring out the best features
of the customer. The hat is
then sent to the workroom to
be blocked and stitched. One
or more fittings are arranged
during Nine. Marsi's stay so
that perfect line and fit are
assured.
Style Significance
In spite of all the excellent
styles to be had in ready.to-
wear millinery, it is apparent
that there are large numbers
of American women who de-
light in a hat made expressly
for them. 1t may be questioned
whether this idea has been
sufficiently emphasized in the
past few years.
Women naturally expect to
pay more for the individual
attention required by this type
of service.
Hats made on your head are
necessarily a little more than
those you buy ready made, but
they are we'll worth it. And
you must remember too that if
you want an appointment, you
must call early, for Madame
Marsi will no doubt be buster

the supply. For this new stick
not only comes in gay spring
colors, but the four shades of
lip rouge which are offered for
your choice are extremely flat
tering.
Doris Kenyon, who is very,
very particular about her lip
rouge and how it is applied,
was fascinated, along with the
other stars, by this saucy stick.
In fact, it was hard for her to
make a choice from the green
with white top, the red with
black top, the black with red
top or the white with black
top! Perhaps she bought all
four, a different shade in each
light, medium, dark or bril-,
liant. AS it is priced lower
than most good lipsticks, even
you could afford to go on a
lipstick splurge!
After you make your choice,
do a little experimenting with.
1t. Draw thick lips, thin lips;
darken the lower more than
your upper lip; rouge only the
upper and see which is most
becoming to you.
If you have difficulty in get
ting your rouge on smoothly,
apply bit of vanishing cream
before your lipstick and at
night use camphor ice on your
lips.
I think Doris Kenyon has a
beautifully shaped mouth, and
she keeps it evenly and smooth
ly rouged at all times.

No wonder slip covers are
popular! They cover worn spots
and faded upholstery. They pro-
tect against soil. They give
chairs and sofas the chance
to dress up in decorative new
frocks. And you can MAKE
them yourself!
Chintz, linen and cretonne
are first choices in material.
And small, all-over designs make
up most easily with least waste.
For example, the chair in our
illustration requires only six
and one-half yards of material
in 80 to 36-inch widths. AS for
the rest of the story-here are
tested, step-by-step directions
that will bring you through to
praise winning success.
If you are inexperienced, you
might like to cut a paper or
muslin pattern first. Otherwise,
work with the material itself,
placing it on the chair wrong
side out. Fit the cloth smoothly,
allowing one inch for seams
when you cut pieces. Cut pieces
in the order numbered, and pin
them together where seams are
to come. Notice that inside
back and seat numerals - are
cut in one piece. Be sure to
allow three inches for tuck-in
at A and two inches at B and

Many Safeguards

The city mother is helped by
the care which her community
usually takes in such matters
as milk inspection, pure water
supply, garbage removal, the
control of contagious disease
and enlightened municipal
health campaigns like that for
the incubation of infants to
prevent diphtheria.
These admirable develop
ments in the public hygiene of
cities and large towns have
reduced infant mortality amaz-
ingly in many such places.
Rural mothers and babes
often suffer from an absence
of the safeguards which have
listed. In the country, how
ever, even the poorest woman
finds it comparatively easy to
get plenty of sunlight and clean
outdoor air for her child and
herself.
If parents and communities
would only arrange SO that
babies growing up in the city
might enjoy the natural ad-
vantages of their little country
cousins, as we'll as the other
way around, all OF our children
would flourish better than they
do at present!
But, to return to Mothers
fresh air problem, one partial
solution, in city or country, is
for her to keep the windows
open as much as possible while
she is doing her housework.
Naturally, in extremely severe
winter weather, she will not be
able to throw windows wide,
especially if she is compelled to
live in an ill-heated house or
apartment.
Nevertheless, while being
careful not to sit or stand in
a direct draught, let her try to
breathe in as much outdoor air
as possible while pursuing her
indoor activities.

Our daughter has been very
i'll and relatives and friends

kind to us. We wish to extend
our thanks in the newspaper,
if this would be the proper
thing, as 1 cannot get in touch
with all individually. Will you
give us tn proper form?
The minister and the guild Of

We would like to send a letter
of appreciation to them. To
whom should this be ad-
dressed? Just how should it
be worded? B.
Please, I urge you, don't con-
slider using this impersonal way
of expressing the thanks that
should be expressed personally.
It's a very bleak experience
this finding of thanks in a
newspaper, thanks that should
be sent to us in a letter of
appreciation for any kind of
gesture that we have planned.
Please do write a little note
of thanks to leach and every"
relative and neighbor and friend
who did thoughtful and kind
things for you and your daugh-
ter during her illness. Perhaps
you may have thanked some OF
these people personally-that's
enough. But write letters to the
others. And I am sure that it
will be possible to locate the
addresses you do not now know.
There will be mutual friends

MILLION-DOLLAR o

Only one man in the United
States reported a net income above
that figure.
That looks as if the process of
redistribution of wealth." of which
we hear so much, were actually I'M
der way. We don't know the name
of the fortunate individual, who,
according to the Treasury Depart
ment, received between 6 and 9 mil
lion dollars, of taxable income last
year, though it might be easy to
make a fairly close guess as to his
identity.
There were only 81 million-dol-
lar incomes, all told, in 1884, but
there were almost 4 million persons,
who received enough in that year
to require the filing of income tax
returns. More than ~ million of
those reporting incomes below
$4,000 paid no tax, while the 81
biggest incomes, aggregating almost
90 million dollars, as taxes. 1t is
obvious that if all of the incomes
of a million or more, instead of only
s. percent, were taken, it wouldn't
help the Treasury much.
Most folks would be willing en-
ough to pay Uncle Sam half a mil
lion dollars or more if they had mil
lion-dollar incomes. There would
still be a surplus let on which al
most anybody could live in COM
fort. But thee fact that a mar
received an income of a million dol
lars in 1884 is no guarantee that he
will get that much in 1885. The
one thing harder than making
money, those who have had expert.
ence say, is keeping it after you've
made it. Even milfonaires are
alive to the need of laying some.

After all, the returns to the'

bill, and almost anything that Or
gained labor is solidly behind, will
provide at least a chance for the
boys to go on record, whether or
not they succeed in enacting any
of these and other projects into
law.
The signs are that opposition from
the White House to all such drafts
on the public purse will be more
stubborn than in the past. There is
no inclination here to question the
genuiness of Mr.. Roosevelt's desire
to cut Government expenses and
make at least a stop toward balanc-
ing the budget. He will have to
meet, however, lot only demands
emanating from Congress, but the
desires of many in his own official
family for more money to spend.
1t can be stated definitely that
the Presidents plan to place Frank
C. Walker in the Cabinet, as Post
master General, will not be carried
through. Members of the Cabinet
must divest themselves of all priv
ate business connections. Mr..
Walker was in a position to do that,
until the death a few days ago, of
his uncle, Michael Comerford, the
management of whose very extern
tive motion picture interests now
devolves upon Mr.. Walker.
The action of the recent Conven-
ton of the National Association of
Manufacturers in uniting upon a
definite declaration of opposition to
the Administration widens the
breach between the Government
and business beyond any likelihood
of its being bridged over. Demo-
cratic Leaders are inclined to hail
this as providing good campaign
material, while Republican wheel
horses look upon it as at least as
surfing an ample campaign fund for
1886.
