Silk Jersey Used

Silk and wool jersey cloth have loomed up stronger in the dress lineup for spring and summer than last year. Wool jersey cloth is being used extensively for 'both sports and motor coats, and some of the new military capes are also being made of it, with usually a light-weight lining of gaycolored silk. The little sports suit shown in the sketch is made of plain white and chartreuse silk jersey Cloth. The scarf Sports 'Suit rof .Silk. Jersey. collar is the especial feature df !the suit. This .collar is formed of two .folds of the colored .fabric, and it is .attached to the .nedk .of the coat at about its lengthwise center. When desired it may be held together by the button and buttonhole appearing near the end. However, for summer wear the collar will usually be worn open. The .coat is finished with generous pockets, overlaid with.buttonedon laps of gold jersey. The skirt is simple .and straight, gathered in at the waistline, and also equipped with pockets. This little sports suit might be attractively developed with a coat of plain color and skint of gay striped or flowered tabric, the skirt material in any case serving to trim the coat. While a great deal has been written and said about the present season -vogue for high colors, rand the vogue certainly .exists, there is a growing tendency at the present time to .go to .the other extreme. The little suit shown in the sketch requires three yards of fabric for skirt .and coat trimming. Three and .a quarter .yards will be needo or the coat. The model would se v :admirably for a suit of the novelty .ks, popular this summer, or it miglu ie developed in fitmnel, serge or linon. PRETTY AS WELL AS USEFUL Combined Cotton Holder and Pincushion Easily Made and May Be Found Big Convenience. This is a decorative ami useful little article either for suspending from the post of the lookiug-glass or for hanging upon a nail in the wall. For the upper part a piece of wood measuring six and a half inches in length, three inches in width and half an inch in thickness will be required. This wood is sewn in between two pieces of silk, sufficient material being left at the lower edge to cover the pincushion. Diagram A explains this, the cross indicates the piece of wood, and the 6inA Cotton Holder and Pincushion. pieces of silk arc aeon hanging below it. Diagram H shows the shape of the cushion that will be required; it measures six inches by live inches. The design upon the cushion is worked in thne shade of green and the whole thing is edged throughout with a silk cord, which is arranged in two little loops on either side, at tljo top, and the ends that hung downwards are knotted and frayed out Into tus-

l '

sels, and at tne "bottom there are three little loops of cord. The reels of cotton are fastened in place with brass-headed nails, upon which they will revolve freely when the cotton is being drawn off, and when necessary, new reels can be easily fastened in position. USE OF TUCKS IS EFFECTIVE

They Can Be Used to Advantage in Making a Serviceable as WeJi as 'Dainty Nightdress. Anyone who desires to make a serviceable as well a? a dainty nightgown should not forget the effectiveness of tiny tucks. One model on which this suggestion vas carried out was made with a square neck, and was open down the front for a short space ; but this opening is really not necessary if one provides a sufliciently large neck. The upper front of the gown was decorated with groups of three tiny tucks arranged to form squares. In each square a qaisy was embroidered in white. Anyone who desires a touch of color should substitute colored flowers for the white ones. A casing of the material should be provided around the neck, if one does not intend to open 'the gown down the front, and a colored ribbon run through it. You can easily see how such a gown would withstand frequent visits to the -laundry. STRAWS MUST BE VEILED NOW Covering of Hats With Organdie or vOtherThin Fabrics Is the ildea of the Hour. Wen a woman is making up lier mind about her 'millinery she should fix her .attention on the fact that the veiling of straw by a thin fabric is the idea of the hour. Straw is used because straw is plentiful, but the milliners have taken up the idea that this rough material should .not :be used in its nude state. It .must be veiled. The .newest lhats .are 'covered with white organdie, just as many of the very smart frocks in foulard and crepe are covered wtih organdie tunics and serge and gaberdine skirts have or gandie pqplums .above them. A liat is of blue straw, of the stovepipe shape with a visor brim, gets its color from an ornate and splendid design worked out on the organdie in coral beads. DISTINCTIVE SUMMER FROCK One of the summer's best prospects is this frock made of heavy natural color pongee silk. The deep panels of green soutache braid make the gown wonderfully attractive. The collar of green chamois cloth is another added feature that gives the gown distinction. It is made on free and easy lines and could be used for sportswear if wanted. The hat is of rich brown chip with a goura fancy. Odd in Design. Stored away in the depths of an old trunk there may perhaps still be found a crocheted bedspread made by your grandmother. Today we are again crocheting bedspreads, only we combine it with linen. One seen recently was made of heavy linen sheeting und lace filet. Four triangular insets of filet lace were set in as corner-pieces to fit the corners of the bed, the upper ones being placed so that the entire triangle shows when the pillows are In place. The lower comers of the spread are cut out to Üt the posts of a brass bed and the sides and one end are finished with a wide crocheted edging. The cut-out corners and the top were finished with a plcot edge. An Initial medallion, also in filet. Is placed In the center of the spread. The Blouse. Blouses, contrary to predictions, are fashioned nine cases out of ten to bo worn over the skirt -and skirts for this typo blouse must be fashioned for this particular purpose, for most skirts have odd bolt arrangements, yokes, pockets, frills, etc., and all at the wnlstllmx

Infant Foods Are Tested On Little White Rodents To Determine Their Value It is not very widely laiown that infant foods are often tried out experimentally on baby white mice. The Scientific American Magazine states that in various laboratories throughout the country large numhers of white mice are fetd exclusively on infant foods and infant milk modifications. The inference cannot he drawn from this that infant mice and human infants require the same foods; but growth or lack of growth in the mouse does indicate something of the growth promoting properties of the food used. Large numbers of the baby mice are fed on each food, so that the individual differences in the mice may be eliminated. The food is judged by the average growth of all the mice in the group. The baby mice in the experiments are as hygienically cared for as are real babies. The wire cages in which They are kept are sterilized twice a week. In the bottom of each cage is a white crepe paper napkin to protect the little feet from the wires. A clean napkin is given at least once a day and often twice or three times. The infant food mixtures are given from three to five times a day from little glass dishes resembling individual salt dishes. The dishes are sterilized every time they are used. These aristocratic little pets must have distilled water to drink. This is furnished from a little glass bottle having a stopper with a glass tube, Inverted in the top of the cage. A drop always hangs at the end of the glass tube and when a mouse is thirsty It climbs up and licks off the drop, when another drop immediately forms. In this way the purity of the water at all times is insured. To be sure, these pets are never bathed, but why should they need it? They have no chance to get dirty. It has been said : "It used to be thought a small boy's job to feed white mice, out now one needs a colic cm degree to undertake it."

The sooner eggs can be set after being laid the better. Three to ten days should be the limit; nor should they be chilled, overheated or roughly handled in the meantime. Every modern house contains or should contain a bathtub. So should every henhouse. The only difference is that one is to hold water and the other is to be filled with dust, fine ashes, etc. Always put the incubator in a place where the ventilation is good, the air pure -and the temperature as even as possible, but not too cold. If the 'hens get in the habit of eating eggs, put a few china eggs on the floor of their pen and let the fowls pick at them. Sometimes that will discourage the egg-eaters somewhat. It is of no use to doctor fowls for colds or roup and then allow the same conditions which cause the colds and roup to continue, like drafty houses, germ-laden air and improper feeding. Some poultrymen claim to break up the egg-eating habit in fowls by blowing an egg, then filling the shell with mustard and cayenne pepper made into a thick paste with water. It is said that this cures the taste for eggs. When hens are crowded too closely in a poultry house, one sick bird will often give the germs to a dozen others in a single night and if the others are not very strong and healthy they will at once develop these germs into disease. Hens with colds frequently tuck their heads under their wings and a lot of nitidis from their nostrils 5to(l there. In such cases it should be thoroughly washed off with wnror containing some disinfectant and then wiped thoroughly dry. men serves to press the organs in so that the force of the breathing is felt more by the inclosed organs than by the stretching outer skin Popular Science Monthly. Advice to the Married. The following advice to newly married couples is given by Foster G. Iddings, police court judge of Sioux City, Iowa : "There's no house big enough to shelter two families. "Too much mother-in-law is not a good thing for young couples. "Too much father-in-law has the same effect. "A wife should leave her husband to visit relatives at least two weeks every year. On her return she appreciates him better. "A husband should leave his wife at least two weeks each year. He apreciates her more when he returns. "A young couple's place is by themselves. Their battles are their own. "Welcome your relatives as company, but don't permit more than one to come at a time." Around the World.

Cornuieal is coming into its own. j Because of the high price of flour, all j ' housewives are looking for a substitute that can be used, occasionally, at least, for the more expensive wheat. One of the commonest and at the same " time one of the best of foods is mush ' and milk, providing you use good, rich , milk. This makes a good meal for Sunday night, but is not sufficiently sustaining for a man at hard work. The mush should be cooked long and i well to have it wholesome. This same , mush, put into a bread tin to mold, may be cut in slices and fried for " breakfast and served with sirup, this makes a most sustaining .dish. The hot mush may be mixed with any leftover chopped meat, well seasoned and molded. That may be fried as much, and is called scrapple. A little cornmeal added to a mixture of wheat or buckwheat flour for griddle cakes, im proves them. Cornmeal may be used in place of flour to dip oysters before frying, or for rolling fish or sliced pork before frying. Corn Gems. Blend together two cupfuls of sweet milk with one egg, a pinch of salt, a tablespoonful of brown sugar, a tablespoonful of maple sirup, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one cup ful of Indian meal and one cupful of wheat flour sifted with two teaspooufuls of baking powder. when very light stir in a half cupful of finely chopped dates. Fill hot buttered gem pans three-quarters full and bake 30 minutes in a moderate oven. New England Bannocks. Scald eight heaping tablespoonfuls of meal (a cupful) with two cupfuls of boiling water, add four tablespoonfuls of flour, a fourth of a teaspoonful of soda, two well beaten eggs and sufficient cold milk to form a batter thick enough to drop by spoonfuls Into hot fat. Fry to a golden brown and serve with maple sirup. Fruit Cake. Cream a half cupful of butter and a cupful of brown sugar, moistened with half a pint of strong coffee; add one cupful of molasses, a teaspoonful of allspice, one grated nutmeg, a teaspoonful of cinnamon, one well-beaten egg, three cupfuls of flour, sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a cupful of cornmeal. Add any desired fruit and bake in a slow oven three-quarters of an hour. VUjLU. 7W Vet London's Dirty Windows. London is a city of dirty windows. This is especially true of the windows of the large office buildings and the hotols. Woman cleaners nave been employed, but they have confined their work to the windows nearest the ground.

He says last year, when teaching at Culver Military academy, he happened in the olilce of the ling officer one evening as the Hag was being lowered and . put away for the night. It was carried past him. All others saluted and took off their hats, while he stood as usual. The next day at dinner the Hag officer was at his table. For the benefit of his teacher, the young ofilcer gave his fellow-students a severe lecture on (lag etiquette, never once mentioning , the teacher for whose benefit the lectu re was given, but It served its pur- ; pore and never again did the Hag go j unsaluted on such an occasion.

AN OPERATION

AVERTED Philadelphia, Piu "Ons year ago V was very sick and I suffered with pains im my side and bact imtil I nearly went crazy. I went to different doctors and they all said I hadfemale trouble and would not get any relief until I would be operated on. I had suffered f orf ouc years before this time, but I kept getting worse the mor medicine I took. Every month since I was a young girl I had suffered with cramps in my sides at periods and was never regular. I saw your advertise ment m the newspaper and the pictur of a woman who had been saved from an operation and this picture was im pressed on my mind. The doctor had given me only two more days to mak up my mind so I sent my husband to tht drug store at once for a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and believe me, I soon noticed a change and when I had finished the third bottle I was cured and never felt better.

One of the justices of the Supreme court tells of a young lawyer in the West who was trying his first case be fore the late Justice Harlan. The youthful attorney had evidently conned his argument until he knew it by heart. Before he had consumed ten minutes in his oratorical effort the justice had decided the case in his favor and told him so. Despite this, the young lawyer would not cease. It seemed that ho had attained such a momentum that he could not stop. Finally Justice Harlan leaned forward and in the politest of tones, said : "Mr. Smith, despite your arguments, the court has concluded to decide this case in your favor." Harper's Magazine.
