But if, for any reason, you prefer to have them cleaned at home, you can. And if you go about it in the right way, the results will be so satisfactory that, instead of having your rugs thoroughly cleaned, once a year, by a cleaner, you will probably have them well cleaned, every month or two, at home. The directions given below apply to both domestic and oriental rugs, with this qualification—oriental rugs should never be beaten or shaken: DIRECTIONS :—First, sweep with a broom, (or, in the case of a domestic rug, beat and shake) until all the dust is removed. Then lay the rug on the floor, Make a stiff lather of Ivory Soap and warm water (half a cake of Ivory will make a bucket of lather) and scrub the rug, width by width. Wipe with a clean, damp sponge. Use very little water. Ivory Soap is so mild, so pure, so gentle in its action that it will not dull the color or injure the fabric of ANY article that water will not harm—and it will most effect- ually remove the dirt.

4 | | : The Modern Priscilla for June, 1910 pe een oe Initials and [heir Uses BY EDMONIA B, JOHNSON Worked on very transparent material No. 10-6-8 shows up most beautifully, especially if placed over color; it is really an elegant initial, and a baby’s pillow, a linen lawn bag or card: S a means of decoration initials are becoming more and more used for lingerie, household linen, and the layette, by the “Smart Set,’ sometimes in conjunction with em- reliance for broidery, but often as the sole _ finish, beauty and style being placed on the ar- tistic design and its execution. On table linen, especially, they are invaluable for giving added distinction to handsome damask and linen. It is the fashion, at present, to have all the linen in the dining-room marked to correspond with the table linen, a fad not irksome to the woman who wisely selects a particular style of monogram and letter for all her household linen, thereby making it personal and distinctive, a result-always so much desired. Monotony of. a design so often repeated is avoided by the method of working, by using some- times the monogram and sometimes the initials and by the employment of shields and scrolls as a background. Nowadays, the tendency is for smaller letters and _ taste has crystallized to the extent that the fanciful and ornate are seldom seen in the dining-room. The fastidious hostess who wishes to give charm and individuality to her linen will use care and circumspection in her selection for that purpose; she will find that, when it comes to having dozens of articles marked, it will sensibly deplete even a well filled pocket- book, unless she is willing and competent to do the work herself. To assist her in her selection, and to help her over the difficulties that await her, we give some very artistic initials and a few hints as to working them. Numbers 10-6-1 and 10-6-6 are suitable for working on sheer materials, being too delicate to show to good advantage upon linen or damask. In working the style “N,” the spray is first finished and then the letter, running the outline with very fine stitches and padding slightly. Letters this size, one and one-eighth inches and_ smaller, are much liked _ for small linen doilies, “audkerchiefs, pin - cushion covers and other small accesso- ries of the toilet table; where two or more letters are used, the style No. 10-6-1 is a good one to se- lect, for the scroll- like curves can be in- terlaced,, making it a No. 10-6-1 No. 10-6-4 semi-monogram. | One could not desire a better balanced or handsomer initial for table linen than is shown in No, 10-6-3; so well proportioned, devoid of all superfluous ornamentation, its graceful well padded lines make it an extremely attractive model. It will prove a pit- fall, however, to the unwary, as it is by. no means an easy letter to embroider. Those sharp curves have to be rounded very carefully, keeping the thread al- ways straight across, crowding the stitches on the inner and spreading them on the outer edge. For the amateur I would advise the selection of No. 10-6-2, a graceful let- ter also, whose curves being wider, will offer fewer difficulties. Both of these styles are about right for pillow-cases, napkins and large doilies. On pillow-cases where there is a ruffle or plait, initials are placed diagonally in the upper left-hand corner. A long pillow-case with an open end that hangs down to the bolster, has them about an inch and a half or two inches above the hem in the centre; on napkins, some like them in the centre of one side, but the majority prefer them placed diagonally in the corner. Number 10-6-4 is a more ornamental letter, looking best on sheer material; forming part of the em- broidery of an _ oblong pincushion-cover, hand- kerchief or glove case, it would be most effec- tive. For the purpose of illustration the seed- ing stitches are well de- fined, but in working it, use tightly twisted thread, two sizes coarser than the working thread, take very tiny stitches close together, mere pin points, until the space is entirely covered; the superimposed spray on this, as on all others, being first executed. No. 10-6-7 No. 10-6-2 No. 10-6-5 No. 10-6-8 For DESCRIPTION OF PATTERNS SEE PAGE 42 case would only need a spray or so extra to make a very “chic” af-. fair. Outline the whole letter; work the padded part first and cord the remainder of the rose, follow the same method for the leaves and cord the rest of the letter; then the seeding is done afterwards with the coarser thread. Numbers 10-6-9 and 10-6-7 are larger letters, appropriate for many decorative articles; the first can have the loops intertwined, if one or more letters are used; it can also be worked in padded satin-stitch if preferred, and that method would be best on closely woven material. Number 10-6-7 is more effective used as a single letter; its greatest attraction is in the graceful, curving leaves, the larger one only offering any difficulty to the worker. Pad the solid part carefully, where the division occurs, run around the stamped division line, leaving a well defined space between; if the design is outlined with small stitches, followed with judicious padding, then covered, keeping close to the foundation thus prepared, a creditable piece of work should be the result. These more fanciful letters are seldom used on. household or table linen, severer styles being preferred for these, but when,a handsome iniual for an odd piece is wanted, the range for seleciiun 1s a wide one; an embarrassment of riches, in fact. The shields, spoken of above, are very stylish when used to elaborate a simple, padded initial or monogram, It is corded and filled closely with seed stitches, the letter, which has been first worked, standing out boldly from the pearly background. As is right and proper, the loveliest of these illustrations is one devoted to his Royal Highness, the baby, and no more beautiful one could have been’ devised for his charming be- longings than _ that shown in No. 10-6-5. In the size illustrated it is placed diagon- ally, in the upper left corner of the _lace- trimmed pillow upon which his downy head rests, or, slightly enlarged, in the centre of his linen lawn, beautifully embroidered car- riage cover. It is worked in padded satin-stitch throughout; the numerous French forget-me-nots give a rich effect that the slen- der, dainty curves of the designs needed to make the perfect whole. Finally, what could be more dainty than his little form wrapped in a snowy cashmere shawl, its edge delicately scalloped in pale blue or pink, and this design, en- larged thrice its size, placed diagonally in the corner of the upper side and worked with the same color of floss silk? Among the many articles upon which lettering is the principal adornment, ‘must be included towels; huck towels are converted into articles of real value and beauty by the use of mercerized cotton in colors, Delft blue and shades of brown being favorites. The initial is worked first and then a wide border is darned in some of the fancy stitches, the padded letter standing out clearly in the centre: The other end has a narrow border in the same stitch. Handsome towels, when embroidered, are sometimes scalloped, sometimes fringed and often both; in the latter case, the threads are drawn and. the fringe knotted; it is then scalloped. Then remains an undrawn triangle between the scallops which must be care- fully cut and drawn out. As to the use of colors, while not permissible on many articles, in bedrooms there is more latitude allowed and the lettering can, without offend- ing good taste, follow the gen- eral color scheme of the room on all but the bed linen. Indeed its use will add to the charm of a pretty room if the colors are harmonious. On bureau and stand scarfs, cur- tains, and towels, white in combination with a single color is very much more pleasing than a mixture of colors. No. 10-6-3 No. 10-6-6

Centrepiece in Lace, Embroidery, and Irish Crochet DESCRIBED BY NELLIE CLARKE BROWN HIS centrepiece is a charming combination of several kinds of needle- work artistically blended. The deep border is made entirely of Renais- sance lace embellished at regular intervals with motifs of Irish crochet, and French and eyelet embroidery are used as a decoration for the linen ~gembraced within the curves of the lace. Two parallel rows of braid connected by a single row of twisted Russian stitch unite the lace to the linen centre. For the background single Brussels net stitch is used. This con- sists of a single buttonhole-stitch worked in each loop of the preceding row. ‘These loops must all be of uniform size and the partial or broken loops at the ends of the rows must be uniform in direction and shape. The parallel rows of braid that embrace or form the urn-shaped embroidered dimen. medal- lions and reach out in broad curving scrolls are connected at close and regular intervals by little parallel twisted bars, each decorated with a picot made by tying the bar with a’ knot when the twisting has reached its middle. Into this knot two or three buttonhole-stitches are worked. This same stitch is used in the background of the outer part of the lace and is arranged in diverging bars and stars or wheels in the mid- dle of which a web is woven. This is the stitch that is used to hold the Irish crochet medallions in place and its choice is very fortunate, as it so closely resembles the Irish crochet connecting stitch that the transition from needle-made lace to crochet is so easily made that the result is a harmonious blending of the two. This same Fic. 1. form at the margin of the lace out from the Irish crochet medallion. Double Brussels net is used in the alternate scallops. This stitch is also employed in many of the other leaf forms and consists of two close buttonhole-stitches in each loop of the preceding row. A pleasing effect is produced by a judicious selection of other stitches for the different spaces yet to be filled. The two spaces at the base of the linen medallions are filled with Spanish net stitches in groups of three. In making this stitch the work is» always begun at the left of the space and double twisted stitches are worked in groups of three. This stitch is made by placing the thumb upon the work- ing thread, which is then turned back un- der the end of the thumb. The needle is passed through the braid or loop above and over and under the threads held by the thumb. At the end of each row the thread is carried once through each loop back to the left side of the space and down its edge the length of the Spanish net stitch. The second row is then worked into the loops. between’ the eroups of the first row, | T ied _ Russian stitch and point de Venise are used in the remaining — spaces. «i Tied Russian | stitch consists of plain Rus- sian stitch down the middle of which tke working thread is car- ried and a knot tied tpon each stitch, giv- ing to the whole the effect of a stem from which the stitches ap- pear to branch. Point de Venise is one of the most beau- tiful as well as one of the most difficult of the needle lace stitches : . P MEDALLION IN IRISH CROCHET. SEE CENTREPIECE, A dpe stitch is used in every alternate scallop or leaf No. 10-6-10 the same way except that it is necessary to make rious arrangements of the shells. As shown in this centrepiece the first row consists of single Brussels net stitches worked from left to right across the space. The second row is like the first except that on every alternate stitch a “shell” is worked. Each “shell” consists of four buttonhole-stitches drawn not too tight and worked across .or over) the single buttonhole-stitch proceeding from left to right. The third row is single button- hole-stitch like the first, and the fourth is like the second with the “shells” placed between, not under, those of the previous row. These same stitches are used in the scroll and leaf forms that enclose the upper or inner end of the linen medallions. Two very graceiul designs are selected for the embroidery, which beautifies these linen me- dallions and are arranged alternately in the eight spaces. One is a graceful spray of leaves hold- ing up a circlet of eyelets. The stems are done in stem-stitch, which is not the universally known outline-stitch, but is made by first put- ting in a single thread in little running stitches along the line of stamping. Over this as a foundation little parallel over-and-over stitches are worked close together at right angles to the running stitches. This is really satin-stitch over a single thread and is sometimes done by fold- ing the cloth on the line of the running sketches and closely overhanding them. All the leaves and eyelets are done in openwork. For the eyelets a hole is punched with the stiletto and little over-and-over stitches worked into the line of stamping. The oval leaves are made in a lengthwise cut through the linen. If the eye- let is large one or two cross cuts are also advisable. The surplus linen inside the line of the eyelet is then rolled back and included within the over-and-over stitches, In the other design only the lower spray of leaflets is done in open eyelets. The daisy and the rose and rosebud are padded and worked in satin-stitch. The padding may consist of a few stitches of the working thread taken length- wise oOvz-»chain-stitch may be used... The covering or satin~ stitches must be taken exactly into the line of the stamping and must be uniformly close together. Noth- ing will so quickly show up poor embroid- ery as_ stitches taken with disregard to the line of the stamping. Where petals with an indentation or inturn- ing point at the end are to be worked a much better effect is obtained if the padding is done at right angles to the petal and the satin- stitches are worked length- ways. The design in the centre of the linen con- sists of parallel twisted bars with picots worked between parallel rows of braid. If desired, this part of the de- sign may be omitted, as any article placed upon the centrepiece will cover up this work. A plain centre is preferred by many practical workers. The Priscilla Lace Book, price, 25 cents, will be found a great help to those unacquainted with the lace stitches used in this centre- piece. TrRisH CROocHEr MEDALLION, Fie. I.

Rose Decoration for a Girl’s Chamber BY LOUISE E. DEW F all the motifs suggested by Dame Flora and her handmaids, none is more suitable for a girl’s room than the rose. A simple and in- expensive treatment, which is at the same time dainty and artistic, may be carried out in a num- ber of ways. If your walls are already papered in a rose design your only expense will be a few sheets of rose pink and green tissue paper, and a half dozen or so sheets of buff crépe paper. The quantity will, of course, vary according to the size of your room. Figured rose paper, a satin stripe with clusters of roses, garlanded lattice fashion, gives a rose bower No. 10-6-11. StTeNnciL FESTOON FOR FRIEZE, CURTAINS, AND ScarRF ENDS effect, just what you want. As your frieze is to bea shield design, cut a pattern of pasteboard, and out of your plain buff crépe paper cut enough shields to run around the entire room. Then from your rose- bordered crépe or wall paper cut a cluster of roses, and appliqué upon each shield by pasting firmly with good boiled flour paste. To do this neatly you will need.to use a table covered with oilcloth to protect it from paste. As you appliqué each rose design give it gentle little pats with a clean cloth (keep a box of cut squares at hand), then with a small brush gild the edges té make the roses really appear applique. Thevmilding gives the desired bas relief ef- fect. When this task is done, and the shields are all pasted into posti- tion, frieze fashion, finish with a_ twisted paper cord made of buff paper. This is a simple trick, two strands twisted in op- posite directions simul- taneously by two per- gOS. Yl Nis Sear a, gives a substantial fin- ish to the frieze if pasted _ securely in place. The choice window of the room should be transformed into a rose bower. For this purpose make quanti- ties of pink tissue paper roses, small ones, about the size of the Hermosa. -If you do not know. how to make them, they will show you at the shop where you purchase your paper, but a girl with ingenuity can easily invent roses of all varieties, they are so simple to make. The easiest way is to cut a strip of paper about two inches wide (that is, for the Hermosa), slash the strip at in- tervals of an inch and a half apart, curl the corners with a pair of scissors, wind evenly around your forefin- ger, wire at the base securely, and wrap the “stem” with green THE ROSE DECORATION GIVES A CoOL, REFRESHING ASPECT TO GARLAND OF Roses FOR Sora PILLOW OR WALL DECORATION No. 10-6-12. paper, twisted deftly around from the base of rose to tip of stem. When this is done and. your roses are draped lattice effect with foliage about the framework across your window corner, you cannot imagine anything more effective.. For this frame- work or foundation nail a cleat of wood across the corner, cover with green crépe paper, and twine your roses in and out, using green artificial rose foliage such as is for sale at any store where crepe papers are kept. Or a still better way is to wire the roses to foliage at a given distance, say six inches, mak- ing a rose garland. This will be much easier to manipulate in forming the lattice. A rose garland twined around a mirror makes: a charming frame for a young girl’s face, and one which she will enjoy when making her toilet.

A more substantial decoration would be stenciling, and what could be more effective than a frieze of stenciled roses on buff paper? To apply a. step- ladder must be called into requisition. Commence in one corner of the roem and measure the depth with the stencil, then tagex a-dot with pencil through the bottom perforation. Repeat this process at the other end of the frieze, then put tacks into the marks indicated by pencil. A string should then be made taut from tack to tack and very faint pencil lines drawn between the buff stripes to show where the stencil is to be applied, and to insure an even design, It is a simple matter to apply the stencil, if care is ob- served in lifting and transferring it. You must be watchful, how- ever, that the design continues evenly on the pencil markings, and that it matches correctly at the joint- ings. Some people tack the stencil to the frieze before attempt- ing to put in the color, and this is probably the safest way. In any event it must be held. close to the wall so it will lie perfectly flat in order to keep the tinting from get- ting between the sten- cil and the wall, and it must be carefully wiped each time be- fore transferring. Do not dip up too much paint with your stencil brush, and use fresco color quite quick, so it cannot run. Instead of attempting to paint the colors in, stipple or “daub” the openings evenly in the design. The curtains, cushions, draperies, couch and table covers in such a room may be stenciled in rose design also. Unbleached muslin is both cheap and effec- tive for the purpose, and coarse scrim, too, takes the stencil well. Use dyes or oil paints.

Attractive Designs in Roman Cut Work BY ETHELYN J. MORRIS OME people hesitate about undertaking a piece of cut-work because of the apparent amount of work involved, but if they would stop to analyze the stitches and realize that they are the very simplest and easiest of stitches to make, they would hesitate no longer. The finished piece is so €xquisite, so durable, and so altogether satisfactory that it is well worth the careful painstaking stitchery it embodies. Although the stitches are simple, they must be taken with the greatest care and kept regular and even, but every true lover of needlework enjoys being careful; she would not do her work in any other manner. The materials for cut-work should be a closely woven medium-weight linen, cotton floss for the buttonholing, linen thread for the bars and wheels, and a pair of sharp- pointed scissors for: cut- ting the linen from be- neath the bars. The scissors are very essen- tial, for unless the ma- terial is cut smoothly the effect is not neat, and if by chance the lace threads are cut it causes much inconven- ience in repairing the damage. Having the design stamped upon the linen, thread a needle of the proper size with the linen thread and proceed to run around the design with short regular stitches. It is during this process that the bars and lace stitches are put in. As the lines which indicate the bars are reached the thread is carried across the space, secured with @ short stitch within the line of stamping on that side and then twisted back to the starting point. If it is desired to have the bars heavy, the thread is carried across, back, and across again, making three threads altogether and these are then buttonholed with tight even stitches back to the starting point. When two, three or more threads cross at a point, a wheel or spider is woven and this is done exactly as in drawn-work. As the last thread is carried across the point, the other threads are caught together and the wheel woven over and under the spokes until the desired size is reached, then the thread is continued across to its stopping point. It is well to use embroidery hoops during this stage of the work so that the threads will lie flat and smooth and not pucker the linen. Care must be taken even then to keep them just straight and not too tight, for if they are either too tight or too loose the beauty is spoiled. After all the lace stitches are put in and the thread has been run around all the spaces, then the cotton floss is used and the entire design is button- holed in very short, very close, regular stitches. The points of contact be- tween different portions of the design must be made firm and secure with No. 10-6-14. Ova END PIEcR Transfer pattern, 12 x 18 inches, 15 cents.

Some workers use the linen thread for the button- holing also. Last of all comes the cutting away of the superfluous linen under the twisted or buttonholed bars, and this must not be done until the piece has been dampened (washed if necessary) and pressed on the wrong side over a padded board, Take care in cutting that none of the lace threads are clipped and that every particle of the linen is cut that should be cut away. The oval piece shown on this page is especially suitable for an end piece or it may be used on the centre of the table or the side. Two pieces like this would make an exquisite bridal present, a pres- ent which the bride would be sure to appreciate.

The Modern Priscilla for June, 1910 Lingerie in French and Eyelet Embroidery DESCRIBED BY ETHELYN J. MORRIS 10 HE woman or girl who wishes to possess an entire suit of lingerie of one design, whether it is for her bridal trousseau, for school, or just because she loves pretty clothes, will find the designs on this page as attractive and practical and satisfactory as any that can be found any- where. No style of embroidery is prettier and daintier than the French and eyelet work; each seems to help bring out the beauties in the other and the combination is fashionable and much more effective than either style alone. In much of the French underwear we find that embroidery is used as the sole orna- ment, but in some in- stances very fine lace is allowed to take a part, and when this is placed with taste and judgment so as to emphasize the embroidery rather than overshadow it, we must admit that a touch of beauty and elegance has been added that can be gained in no other way. In the gown on this page the little medallions of embroidery on the yoke are of first con- sideration. - These are embroidered and set into the long yoke, the upper part of which is com- posed of bands of tucks and lace insertion, and then the lower part of the yoke is outlined and united to the skirt of the gown with the in- sertion. No pattern is offered for this yoke, but it may be made on the front of a plain shirt-waist pattern, let- ting the lowest point come six inches from the neck and having each side of the yoke six inches wide. It is made low enough in the neck to need no further opening, but slips on over the head. However, the de- sign is admirably suitable for a square or pointed yoke of the usual style and No. 10-6-19. Perforated stamping pattern, 30 cents. Stamping paste, nainsook, $2.25. Cotton for working, 15 cents. 114 inches wide, 18 cents a yard. Work commenced, 75 cents may easily be employed for such. The sleeves are in the full flowing style, are | open to the shoulder on the outside except where they are caught together near the middle, and the embroidery design appears on both sides of the opening. The outlines of the sleeves are given on the stamping pattern and on the stamped material, so no difficulty will be experienced in cutting them.

In the wide ruffling one repeat measures sixteen inches, so it may be estimated how many repeats will have to be worked for a skirt. In the chemise pattern the entire neck and armholes are scalloped, bxt there is no design in the back. The bottom may be finished with a narrow hem, with a hemstitched ruffle, or a narrow embroidered ruffle would look well. The back of the cor- set-cover contains a small design matching that on the front, and the edges are button- holed in scallops. The beading through which the draw ribbon is run is worked after the manner of eyelets with a firm cord-like edge. The perforated pattern and stamped material give the entire design of both back and front with all the scalloping and beading, and also show the lower edge of the corset-cover with the beading at the waist line. The drawers ruffles measure fifty - four inches each and are sewed on so that the scalloped ends come to- gether on the outside. These may be caught together with a bow of ribbon. When lace insertion is used on lingerie the edges of the material should all be~ turned back neatly and stitched down. This is more im- portant on underwear even than on waists and dresses, and no raw seam should be left on any part of the gar- ment, if the neatness of finish so essential in handwork is considered. In sewing up the garments, either French or felled seams are used. The former are made by taking a narrow seam on the right side of the material and then turning and making a seam on the wrong side enclosing the raw edges. In felling, the seam is made on the wrong side letting one edge be twice as wide as the other, then the wide edge is folded over in a narrow hem and neatly stitched down. The illustration of the gown shows the seams joined with a nar- row open seaming which gives a dainty finish to the whole garment.

The darker blades in the design are orange and. the others are yellow touched up with orange or red brown to look russet. The long blades, interlacing, are yellow.

Childhood is the period when the nervous activity is at its greatest. The brain is ever busy receiving new impressions. Reflex action, co-ordination of muscles, ana the special senses are all under a _ special course of training. “The nervous system is pushed to its ut- most capacity, and long is the list of victims that follow its over-stimulation. In these little people nothing but harm can come from the use of such cerebral stimulants as tea or coffee. Bad, then, as this practice is, let us as physicians be aggressive in its prohibition. “Do not be satisfied by answering ‘No’ when asked as to its use, but let us teach the families with whom we come in con- tact that such practice is evil. We- speak emphatically, because not only among the poor and uneducated, but among the rich, who should know better, this practice is marvelously prevalent.”—The Home Doctor. Children like a warm beverage for break- fast and it is well for them to have it if the drink is a food and not a drug. Postum is made to supply a rich nourish- ing liquid food with a crisp coffee taste for those who cannot and should not use coffee. Analysis shows it to contain about fourteen per‘ cent of muscle-forming elements and 66.11 per cent of energy and fat producing elements, which go to nourish and sustain the delicate nerve centres throughout the body and from which the vital energy pro- ceeds.

Modern Priscilla for June, 1910 FRESH AT NIGHT If One Uses the Right Kind of Food, If by proper selection of food one can feel strong and fresh at the end of a day’s work, it is worth while to know the kind of food that will produce this result. A school teacher out in Kansas says in this connection : “T commenced the use of Grape-Nuts food five months ago. At that time my health was so poor that I thought I would have Yo give up my work altogether. I was rapidly losing in weight, had little appetite, was nervous and sleepless, and experienced, al- most constantly, a feeling of exhaustion. “T tried various remedies without good results; then I determined to give particular attention to my food, and have learned some- thing of the properties of Grape-Nuts for rebuilding the brain and nerves. “T commenced using Grape-Nuts and have since made a constant and rapid improve- ment in health, in spite of the fact that all this time I have been engaged in the most strenuous and exacting work. “T have gained twelve pounds in weight and have a good appetite, my nerves are steady and [I sleep sound. I have such strength and reserve force that I feel al- most as strong and fresh at the close of a day’s work as at the beginning. “Before using Grape-Nuts I was troubled much with weak eyes but as my vitality in- creased the eyes became stronger. “T never heard.of food as nutritious and economical as Grape-Nuts.” Read the little book, ‘‘The Road to Well- ville,’ in pkgs. ‘‘There’s a Reason.” Ever read the above letter?

It is also of- fered on linen, and in this case the worker may use her pleasure as to whether the work shall be all solid or not. The bow- knots are effectively developed in satin and in seed-stitch and the open squares are filled with lace stitches. In making these squares it is better to baste the linen upon a piece of stiff paper, button- hole around the square and cut out the linen, then proceed to fill in the lace stitches. Any pretty woven figures such as. are used in drawn-work may be used here or fancy Hedebo stitches, or little lace medallions may be bought for the purpose.

BARGAINS If you willturn to your copy of ‘*PriscILLa” for last‘November you will read, under ‘“‘Priscilla’s Dressing Table,” the following: ‘« Every woman desires naturally curly hair, and concerning this subject let me whisper asecret. Quite a few months ago, a friend told me of a certain plant that flourishes in New Mexico, part of Texas, and Arizona, which she positively asserted had caused her hair to grow curly, and also that of her sister, brother, and a friend. Her hair was curly and thick, and she said it formerly was thin and absolutely straight. The mashed roots of this plant make an excellent shampoo which can be used very often, as the more you wash your hair with this mixture, the thicker and longer it is said to grow. I do not guarantee the above results, but the root certainly did make my friend’s hair curly and thick.”’ That quotation refers to our genuine Mexican Yucca Root. There are a great many different kinds of yucca plants, but only one contains all the true merits of a hair wash and tonic, It is that particular one kind, and no other, that we use. This FRANCIS E. LESTER, Pres’¢ Month I make a special introductory bargain offer on this Yucca Root, prepared by us fresh from the plants where they grow. The demand for our special offers of Mexican and Panama Hats was so great last month that I repeat the offers here. Either the 50-cent Mexican or the $1.00 Panama Hat is so durable it will outwear three ordinary summer straw hats costing several times the price of these, This month also I renew, by special request, the bargain in fine Mexican Lace Baby Cap that appeared in the January ‘‘PRISCILLA” Remember that our bargains which appear on this page of ‘‘PRISCILLA” each month are pleasing thousands of customers. Here are two of a vast number of unsolicited testimonials regarding them. A lady in Parkersburg, W. Va., who bought one of the baby hoods again offered in this advertisement, recently wrote us thus: ‘I received the cap, and it is just grand. I never expected it to be so nice for the money.” Another in Brookville, Pa., wrote us on February oth last: ‘‘I received the baby hood, and was delighted with it.” 25¢c eS 4 mR JUNE Genuine Mexican Yucca Root 4 i A Special Introductory Offer 1) \ ) For centuries the Indians and Mexicans of Southwestern America LN have used the root of a certain variety of Yucca plant as a natural ANS soap, and as a tonic and cleanser for the hair. Perhaps it is for that AN reason that baldness is unknown among these native people, who always have luxuriant, beautitul hair. The ratural juices of the root remove all dirt and accumulations from the scalp, feed the tender roots of the hair, promote a luxuriant and healthy growth, and cause dandruff to disappear permanently. There are absolutely no harmful effects from the use of this root, as from the use of the chemically prepared hair tonics on the market. You can feel its beneficial effects by the tingling sensation when the liquid is applied. to the head. After using it the hair has a delicate velvety softness procurable in no other way. This yucca root lathers freely in hot water without the addition of any other substance. When gathered at the right season and properly prepared, as we prepare it, it retains all the benefits of yy Wigs AV for man, woman or child. An ideal ladies’ vacation hat. Mailed prepaid for $1.00.

It is the only perfect vegetable soap, and in addition to its splendid qualities for the hair, it isan ideal natural soap for woolen goods and delicate fabrics. Remember that we offer you just the pure Yucca Root of the one species that possesses all these merits, and we prepare it in a way that retains its full qualities. Special Introductory Offer: This month we offer to any “PRISCILLA” reader a 4-ounce package of genuine prepared Yucca Root as described above, regular price 35 cents, with complete directions for use, prepaid (not over two packages at this price to a customer)—for 25 cents.

All enjoyed illustrating their pages with magazine pictures and ac- companying witty remarks. Some of this was largely drawn from the imagination, but on the whole both remarks and pictures were appropriate. While the girls were thus engaged the bride was given cards, painted by hand and of heart shape, on which she wrote a lovely wish for each girl present and she chose to put them into verse. There was thus a dainty souvenir for each guest to carry home. Then home-made telegraph blanks were handed to each one, bearing pen and ink sketches of telegraph poles. The combined letters of the last name of the future bride and groom numbered ten. Each guest wrote ten words, the _ initial letters of which, spelled in regular order, the two names, A spider web of red baby ribbon was made with the aid of a few tacks in the doorway leading to the dining-room.

Dainty souvenirs would be pictures of the bride-to-be in round paper frames, gilded—these in the correct shape will sug- gest “Wedding rings’ and will make an unusual feature. A Linen Shower A friend of mine was to be married and I gave her a linen shower. The invitations each bore a tiny spinning wheel drawn with pen and ink. The guests, when all were assembled, were each given a thimble, needle, and thread, and a bolt of linen crash for kitchen towels had been _ pro- vided. With several pairs of scissors, which were ready for the occasion, some of the girls cut off a towel of regulation length for each guest. A time limit was set for making the towels, each guest using her own original ideas. Some towels were featherstitched, some bore a small initial and others were merely neatiy hemmed. Two friends of my mother acted as judges On the chair was tied a large white satin bow. The guests formed in line at a slig- nal from the piano and marched out to the dining-room to a lively air, thinking they were going to play a game. The bride was blindfolded and led to the chair. Then the bandage was removed from her eyes and the ribbons of the web overhead clipped and the dainty gifts were ‘“show- ered” all over her. The refreshments were then served from a table decorated in red with red roses, red candles and shades, red and white mints and red place cards, painted by hand. The ices carried out the color scheme and the cakes were tied about with red baby ribbon.—Mrs. W. J. B.

The Modern Priscilla for June, 1910 Corset Devices and Accessories The publication of “Corsets for all Fig- ures, including Maternity Models,’ an- nounced in our last issue, has been unavoid- ably postponed. VERY woman likes to be called ‘‘a well set-up woman,” as the English say, and to be that she must wear corsets or supports of some sort, uniess, or until, her muscles are so well developed that they can take the place of corsets. The work of the corsetiere to-day is to impart undu- lating lines to the woman’s figure; no decided curves, but soft flowing lines from her head to her feet. There must be no sign of a corset to the casual observer; a woman must be fitted as if she was melted and poured into a mold. These are what a properly fitted corset will do, so it ought to be the aim of every woman who wears a corset to get a model that will accentuate all these needed features. | The perfect figure is only possible with a full and well-rounded bust. Nature has denied this to many, but it is woman’s sacred duty and prerogative to make herself as attractive as possible. There are bust forms to be had in the market that are light in weight and durable, made in all styles and at all prices. There is one style that is made of the highest grade of rubber, filled with the finest quality of down obtain- able, making it impervious’ to perspiration, It is eneased in a dainty cover of sheer, white material, trimmed with lace and silk ribbon. Dainty sachet powder put in the form makes it more pleasing to wear. Safety pins accomplish its fastening in the centre. Another very helpful corset device is the reducing or abdominal straps which reduce the hips, support the abdomen, and assist in re-shaping the form to give an appear- ance of slenderness. These come attached to many corsets or can be put on, being sold separately in the corset departments of the local stores. For stout figures there is nothing more appropriate. In previous articles we have illustrated these reducing straps on corset models, which will show the reader just how they work and what a great benefit they are to,a figure. The enormous growth of the business within the last two trustworthy indication of the importance of such accessories. The lowering of the bust line in many of the new corset models will make the brassiere more than ever a necessity for the full figure. Women have grown accustomed to the trim look of the higher bust corset, and in adopting models of lower cut, they will unquestionably con- tinue to make use of the brassiere. In addition to the brassiere, which is of course particularly designed for the full figure— there are other accessories which meet the requirements of slender and undeveloped figures. Bust forms, both in combination with corsets and without, are popular arti- eles and no corset department is without them. Other important are hose supporters. Since almost every corset out- wears its set of sup- porters, the need of making provision for this extra demand is obvious. Each manufacturer of hose-supporters lays claim to some spec- ial merit possessed by his particular patents —-either in the supporter clasp, or in the method by which the supporter is attached to the corset or suspended from a separate belt. The latter are par- ticularly favored in connection with the cheaper. corsets. Stout figures are improved very much by the use of the double hose-support- brassiere years is a accessories BY CLARICE |. WILE which are particularly desirable for out-of- door sports and bathing purposes. These not only hold the stockings, but mold the figure slightly, giving an admirable line, without any marked restraint upon the Such bather’s limbs. hose-supporters are SHOWN OVER IN FRONT. A CORSET A BRASSIERE SHAPED ° made of very light-weight material and the metal parts are nonrusting. In the matter of corset lacers comes an argument which many women do not seem to grasp at once. When a corset is pur- chased it usually has a lacer accompanying it. Some retailers do not supply lacers with corsets and where they are furnished, they are usually of very inferior material and are not at all what one should use. In putting on a corset it is very essential that the lacer be properly adjusted, as in order to adjust the corset as it should be, the lacers must be long enough to permit opening it to the fullest extent. Therefore a long lacer or two long ones should be used, ranging from five to twelve yards, as regards the figure. The broad ribbon lacers are beautiful to look at and dress a corset up well, but they have not. proven wholly -practical. In consequence, there has developed an interest in tubular lacers. These are now selling in large quantities, both in silk and mer- cerized cotton. Excellent qualities are made in this country that are suitable for the purpose. Especially for the _ front-laced corsets are the tubular lacers suitable, owing to the smooth-running qualities. For similar reasons the tubular lacers are desirable also with.the new long corsets. An invention of interest to women is*a new corset clasp which is designed to add much to the comfort of the user. These clasps are so shaped that when a corset provided with them is fastened to the wearer they incline slightly outward from about the waist line to the top of the corset, and because of this outward inclina- tion, the steels cannot press uncomfortably against the wearer. In some makes of cor- this fault of inward pressure is so pronounced that it causes real suffering and the after-effects are sometimes serious. - It frequently happens that corsets, after they have been worn only slightly, develop this fault and have to be discarded. In this new invention, on the left-hand clasp, on sets the inner edge, near the top, is a little tongue, or clip, that acts as a lock and prevents the clasps, when hooked, from com- ing unfastened, which is another annoying feature of many of the old-style clasps. The importance of the brassiere should not be overleoked. After putting the corset on, following general rules for proper adjust- ment, as stated in our previous talks, a bust supporter must be carefully selected and fitted. It must not be too tight at the top, for a tight line at the top of the bras- siere will force the bust out of position and undo the good work of the corset. The back must be broad, and the arm-hole fitted close to the arm. The garment must be construct- ed to hold the bust forward without flatten- ing, and give length to the waist. Those corsets provided with straps for holding the abdomen in place are especially desirable for the stout figure, as it will always be matronly, and the natural lines may be improved, but not radically changed. In the illustrations we are giving you a few ideas of accessories that will aid ma- terially in giving a good figure, as well as some items which will produce comfort and to be stylish, one must be comfortable. The figure sketch shows a brassiere over the corset. This may be of black or white as desired by the wearer. As will be noted, it is shaped in the front and fastens down on to the corset with some patent hook arrangement. It laecs in the back and the lacers are brought around to the front and tied there, although they may be tied and left hanging in the back. The upper part resembles a lace-trimmed corset-cover and no other cover is necessary. The brassiere is boned and shaped like the corset and produces a splendid figure for the woman who wears it. The bones can be taken out for laundering, as the pockets permit this. There are many makes of brassieres, but one should be careful to the best style every time, for the best pays in the end. In the matter of corset accessories, the illustrated devices suggest many things to the reader. In the case of No. 2 you will find a brassiere that is imported from Paris. itis: made “of white lace net, with ribbon strappings, as indicated in the figure.

We are all very fond of good soup; but soup-making is a bugbear to me; and I would try some of the advertised brands if I felt sure they were wholesome. By, Po There are several good prepared soups on the market that are entirely whole- some and very palatable. Reputable manu- facturers of soups are very careful about the ingredients used in their products. They have to be for the sake of maintain- ing their business. I have found con- densed soups very satisfactory and they are put up in extremely convenient shape, as you have only to add an equal portion of hot water, then bring the whole to the boiling point and it is ready to serve. 4 Two cups Puffed Rice, Puffed Rice two and one-half cups Custard scalded milk, _ three- fourths cup sugar, one-fourth teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon grated orange rind, one teaspoon orange extract, four eggs, mer- ingue.

A Vacation Party The following idea will be appreciated by all who are looking forward to a summer outing, whether it be a long sum- mer’s vacation or a brisk ‘‘rush-away”’ to where breezes blow. Send out invitations in the shape of miniature real estate notices. ‘‘Wanted—tourists to investigate a number of offers for charming summer homes. Descriptions and photos on exhibi- tion at — at eight o’clock, ———- evening, ete. When the guests arrive each one can be given a description, real or fancied, of some estate for sale, either by the sea or some farmhouse or house bungalow in the mountains. These can be imaginary or a hostess may assist her im- agination by looking up some of the offers of large real estate dealers who advertise extensively in the daily papers or by get- ting some of their illustrated booklets. Good sized squares of stiff white cardboard may be given each guest, also paint brushes and water-color paints and a large number of illustrated magazines should be placed at their disposal, with scissors for cutting out any desired illustrations. On these squares each guest is to illustrate her description on her advertising card, given her by the hostess, by pasting on pictures, trees, stables, fences, gardens, aiding by the help of paint brush until her imaginary “summer home’’ is complete. If desired this game may be played progres- sively, more than one house or farm de- seription being illustrated by each person, but this is according to the discretion of the hostess. When all the houses are il- lustrated a note can be taken as to the most effective, taking into consideration the description as given in the card advertise- ment. A novel prize can be an invitation writ- ten by the hostess to the winner, to accom- pany her to a seaside picnic resort, at a date to be set for their mutual convenience, thus continuing the pleasure of the evening to a later date for the successful winner. The booby prize can be the sheet music with words of “Home, Sweet Home.” After sup- per the guests can all tell their experiences of successful vacations, thus giving many mutual helps and suggestions to the others present. <A tiny train of cars can be the centrepiece at the supper table, and two toy ships standing on mirrors can _ hold bonbons, one on each side of the centrepiece. The souvenirs can be cunning dress-suit cases, filled with candy, a little tag on each making the place card. ee Lace Centrepiece ILLUSTRATION ON PAGE 5 Design, 40 x 40 inches, stamped on linen, $1.50.

(International Silver Co., Successor) Salesrooms NEW YORK CHICAGO SAN FRANCISCO tNockod upon with utmost favor | Silver Plate for Table Use Suggestions for Wedding and Anniversary Gifts N selecting gifts for the June bride or wedding anniversaries there is, after all, nothing that will give more genuine satisfaction to donor and recipient than silver. The selection may well be “costly as thy purse can buy,” for useful and very dainty articles may be purchased for one dollar each, while for large articles with much decorative work, or chests of silver, there seems almost no limit to the price which may be paid. For the ordinary household plated ware, if of the best quality, is preferable. In the first place there is not so much money in- vested and the appear- ance of the plated goods is fully as attractive as solid silver. Small pieces of plated ware will not bend and dent as does solid silver. In purchas- ing plated but more to be considered than these are the spoons, forks, and cutlery of the regu- lar table service, for the properly set tea, luncheon or dinner table of to-day requires many such articles for the serving of the different courses. It seems well to select a pattern which is pleasing and then, when new articles are added, it is easy to pro- cure them in the same pattern and this is far more to be desired than a heterogeneous mixture of small silver of various pat- terns. Once the design is selected as few or many pieces as desired may be pur- chased and the collec- tion added CO. aT any time with matching pieces. Prob- ably the most popular models are the beautiful Priscilla and Vintage de- signs. In every h ousehold where’ there is much en- tertain- ware, how- ing there is a ever, it is in necessity of no way safe reserve silver to purchase Fig. 1. ReEuisH Dish WitH CrysTAL GLAss LINING not in use any attrac- every day tive article which may be displayed in a shop window. Such goods should be pur- chased only from the most reliable firms and even then’ one finds sometimes a desire to please those customers who demand showy goods at the expense of quality. The only safe way, then, it is apparent, is to purehase only goods bearing the stamp of a reliable manufacturer. The very dainty relish dish shown in Fig. 1 is a new and attractive design. In- side the silver frame is a crystal glass lin- ing so that it may be used for olives, pickles, nuts, candies or any delicacy which it may please the fancy of the hostess to provide for the dinner table or for an after- noon tea. Such a dish makes an exquisite gift if expense need not be considered, but other similar styles may be procured at very moderate prices. Such a dish lends an air of elegance to an entire table that cannot be produced by cut glass and hand- some china without the added attraction of the glistening silver. Such a dish may be used on the table of the living-room for candies or salted nuts. While in- tended only for a relish dish, it can be used with excellent effect as a receptacie for pansies or any similar short-stemmed simple flowers. Casseroles have become a necessity in the household and while in the simple earthen affair may be cooked just as_ delicious food, yet one does like a more attractive dish to send to the table when guests are present. The saw-pierced _ silver frames have Porcelaine A Feu linings and the cov- ers are also of the same material as shown in Vig. .2: Every season novelties for the table and for household dec- oration are brought out, Fie, 2. Buy advertised goods. in the regular routine of the domestic life. Our grandmothers wrapped their extra pieces of silver in tissue paper, or cases of cotton flannel, when not in use. The housekeeper of to-day usually purchases her silver in chests or cases and these are very conve- nient, for on opening the case, every ar- ticle is in plain sight and such pieces as are needed may be readily taken out for use without unwrapping many pieces to find just the one desired. The most desirable cases are genuine mahogany and _ lined with silk or velvet. Cases for silver are also made from silk, leatherette, leather and oak. These may hold only a_ half-dozen spoons or an entire outfit for a small family. A very serviceable combination consists of six each of medium knives, medium forks, tablespoons, and soup spoons, twelve tea- spoons, a butter knife, and a sugar shell. A set like the one just described makes an exceedingly pretty gift if placed in a vel- vet-lined mahogany case to send to a bride-to-be from a club or class of which she is a member, or from a group of rela- tives. The addition of a gravy ladle and cold-meat fork would make the set more complete. Nut sets are also a_ necessity for the housekeeper. The usual set consists of a dozen picks and two crackers. The addi- tion of a half-dozen fruit knives makes a little more elaborate effect if one is pur- chasing for a gift, and they will prove use- ful on many occasions when fruit is _ served, either at the table or be- tween meals.

Ohio St., Chicago l UITE the newest and most popular design for both girls and misses this season is the dress known as the “ceollege’’ dress and also the ‘‘middy”’ suit. It is adaptable for wash goods, serge, or light-weight woolens, and relief notes of a contrasting color may be introduced in the collar and wristbands and in the band that encircles the sleeve. If developed in serge, the body part is often made in plain color and the skirt in plaid. The collar is then trimmed with bias bands of the plaid. The model is particularly good for sum- mer, as it is loose fitting, consequently cool and comfortable. Where is no doubt but that the style is one that will remain, for it is an ideal model for recreation or for school wear, Another point in its favor is its simplicity, not only in lines, but in actual construction. With the help of a few “pointers” I am sure the amateur will have no difficulty in build- ing a most satisfactory garment. After selecting material, whether of duck, galatea, linen or madras, or of the light- weight woolens, shrink the goods before cut ting into it, following the directions given in previous articles. Since very few of us are up to the pattern measurements, it is a good idea to pin the pattern together, waist and skirt separately, and try on the figure to find out if it is possible to save on the material if the pattern is too large. Very often the skirt pattern is longer than need be, in which case it should be shortened according to the directions given in the “Making of Skirts’? lesson. ° Do not take up the blouse. It may appear large and loose fitting, but that is the way it is meant to be. You will also find that the armhole is larger than usual. This also is characteristic of this style of blouse and must not be altered. You will also notice that this blouse does not open except at the throat, as it is slipped on over the head like the usual sailor-blouse. In placing the pattern on the material see that the pattern is placed according to the thread of the material, that is, according to perforations given and described on the pattern label for placing the pieces on the material. Mark every perforation with tailor’s chalk and clip every notch accord- ing to the pattern. After the parts are cut, fold the skirt portions and lay aside until the blouse is finished. The first thing to do on it is to close the shoulder seams (if there are any, some patterns for this blouse have the front and back in one) with the seam on the right side of the blouse. Now close the shoulder seams of the yoke in the usual manner with the seams on the wrong side and then press open the seams of both yoke and blouse. Now turn the hem and turn under the seam edge on the patch pocket. Spread’ the blouse out flat on the cutting table and arrange the yoke in posi- tion, turn under the lower edge of the yoke and finish with stitching, piping or flat braid. The pocket is also adjusted and stitched or ornamented with braid. The blouse is left open under the arms until the sleeve is finished and arranged. This season there is not only the plain bishop sleeve, with very little fulness at the wrist, and attached to a narrow cuff, but there is also the regulation § sleeve with double inverted plaits at the lower edge, which may or may not have a straight cuff finish. In either case, the sleeve is finished at the lower edge, but not closed. Baste the sleeve to the yoke, distributing the fulness evenly between the notches, and then stitch. The next step is to turn un- der the armhole of the blouse the regular seam width and fell it over the seam. Now turn the blouse to the right side, and fin- ish the armhole with two rows of stitching. ¥ “® Gils a Selection of Material. tern and Cutting. The Modern Priscilla for June, 1910 College Dress BY MRS. HALLAM lar, and Finishing. Making the Skirt If one is going to embroider or place an insignia on the sleeve, now is the proper time to do so before the sleeve and under- arm seams of the blouse are joined. After the embroidery is done, the sleeve and underarm seam are closed with flat seam; i. e., the usual seam is taken (on the wrong side), and one edge of the seam is cut away to within an eighth of an inch of the stitching. The other edge is then turned under with as narrow a turning as possible, basted flat over the first edge, and then stitched on the outer edge. The blouse is now slashed down the front according to the perforations and we are ready for the collar. Pin it in place, bring- ing notches together and baste in with seam on the wrong side, stretching the col- lar well between the notches. Beginning GIRLS’ AND MISSES’ MIDDY OR COLLEGE DRESS at the back turn under the edge of the collar the usual turning until near the slash, when the edge should taper to the merest possible turning. Place the col- lar facing, which may be of the same or contrasting material, on the collar and beginning again at the centre back, pin the outer edges together and also pin the col- lar and facing together where the perfora- tions indicating the roll in the collar are even. Care must be taken to see that these perforations are exactly together and that the facing fits the collar smoothly. The outer edges are now basted down with the same turning under as on the collar proper, after which it is stitched or fin- ished in any desired manner.

Placing the Pat- Making the Blouse — Sewing up the Yoke, Attaching the Sleeves, Adjusting the Col- to prevent stretching before beginning the buttonhole-stitch. The blouse may be worn with or with- out the shield. Ample directions for mak- ing are given on the pattern envelope, as it is not difficult to make. Many girls tie the neckerchief high enough to not need a shield for warmth’s sake. It is only a square of silk, thirty-six or forty inches wide, and is folded diagonally and then rolled or folded with the two overlapping corners inside. It is knotted as shown in the illustration. The lower part of the blouse may be finished by a plain hem, or turned up and held in place by buttons on the right side. The skirt is the usual model in kilt style, although many of the patterns include both full and plaited styles. For-a fall school dress it is one worth considering and it is adaptable to the use of last year’s gowns, because of the skirt being made of one material and the blouse of another. The long-waisted blouse makes it possible to lengthen the skirt by a yoke if the girl has outgrown a last year’s skirt, or if one is short of material, a circular yoke may be used as a foundation to attach the kilt skirt. For a summer linen, one may utilize either new or last year’s outgrown dresses. A white blouse with a blue or natural color linen skirt is very effective. It should hardly be necessary to say any- thing about shrinking goods for’ tub dresses, to any woman who knows how to cut and make a garment. Yet one notices very frequently homemade gowns, into the making of which much time and labor has gone, which are horribly distorted simply because the goods shrunk in the first wash- ing. It is very little trouble to shrink the goods, before cutting out the garment, compared with the annoyance of having an ill-fitting garment after the first washing on account of this little neglect. Gold braid is appearing on many cos- tumes for young ladies this year and its bright glitter seems to make it particularly appropriate for use on the gowns of young girls. In the costume illustrated, gilt braid may be used very attractively on white serge, or blue woolen fabrics of any kind, for the decoration of the sailor col- lar with gilt buttons on the blouse and gilt ornaments on the sleeves. With a costume of this type a wide sailor hat, trimmed only with a band of gilt braid or one of velvet, should be worn. The braid of the hat would preferably be very coarse and either black, white, or “burnt.” Fancy colored straw sailor hats are not in the best taste unless matching exactly the shade of the frock or its trimmings as, for instance, a red sailor may be worn with a white middy dress which is trimmed with red. The panel of the front of the skirt may be braided with self-colored soutache braid if desired and this will give a little more of a dressy air to the costume, but the plain effect is generally preferred. If black shoes are worn the stockings may be either black or the color of the costume. With any of the shades of bronze or tan shoes only tan stockings should be worn. More attention must of necessity be given to the foot dressing of the young girl who wears short gowns than to that of her older sister or mother, where the principal requirements are neatness, cleanliness and trimness. A gown of this model made up in blue linen and trimmed with white braid makes a most serviceable outing gown for summer wear. Although the gown fits loosely over the form yet it is very essential that the undermuslins and _ petticoats fit very smoothly or there will be unseemly humps where the fabric should hang straight.

Opera Bag in Irish Crochet [CONTINUED FROM PAGE I5] over c and the ch edge work a row of d as closely as possible. Front of Bag.—Cut a piece of cambric like the pattern (see page 15), work a long chain, and baste it securely as indicated by the dotted line on the pattern. Baste the medallion in the centre. Sew the leaves securely to the large stem, then baste leaves, stem and bud as indicated in the illustra- tion. Fill all of the space between medal- lion and edge with the bar and picot fill- ing. After the front is finished and ripped from the cambric the chrysanthemum is ap- plied to the centre of the medallion. Bring the centre of the flower directly over the open ring in the medallion, and sew from the wrong side. Fasten petals to me- dallion, sewing close enough to the tips to- hold them securely, and yet leave them loose. FE A C E B Fig. 1. Sonim Bar AnD Picor FILLING Solid Bar and Picot Filling. Fig. 1.— The heavy or solid bar and picot fill- ing consists of chains worked from left of work to right, and worked over with doubles, and picots at intervals, from right to left. It is best to try a sample before putting it into a piece. of work. Make a chain and sew to a piece of cam- bric in the shape of a square, having the lower edge (A B) 1% inches long. Begin at * (the 5th st above corner marked A). ch 12, fasten into 5th st, to right of 1 (marked CC). Over ch work 6 d, p, 6 d, p, 5 d. This finishes one arch and brings you back to point of beginning. Slip st to 6th st above D. Chain 13, fasten into first arch midway between picots. Work 4 d, over ch. Chain 10, fasten into same arch in 3d st to right of last picot, 7 d, over last ch. Chain 9, fasten into lower foundation ch in the 7th st to the right of the first arch; 4 d over ch. Chain 11, fasten into 6th st to right of last fastening, marked E. Over last ch, work 3d, 1p, 6d, 1 p, 7 d, which will fill the arch completely. Now, continuing on to- ward the left, fill the next arch with 7 d, p, 4 d, and the next one with 8 4d. Fill the remaining ch or arch with 38 4d, p, 7 d, p, 6 d, this brings you again to the left edge. Slip st to 6th st above (marked F). Chain 10, fasten midway between picots of arch below.

Chain 9, fasten into last arch below, between the picots; 5 d over ech. Chain 9, fasten into lower edge between FE and corner B. Over ch work 2 d, p, 2 d. Chain 3, fasten into right-hand edge, into 7th st above corner (B). Over the ech of 3, work 6 4d. Over next ch to the left, work 5 d, p, 4 d. Chain 8, fasten into right edge in 8th st, above last fastening (at G). Over ch work 38 d, p, 10 d. Over next ch to left, 5 d and so on, working all the way back to left side. Back of Bag.—Work a ch and baste it round the edge as you did for the front. Begin at straight upper edge to work a ‘“honey-comb”’ filling, thus: * ch 7, miss 4 on edge, work 1 t into 5th st. Repeat from * all the way across. Slip st 3 or 4 st along outside edge, then turn. 2d row—Work 1 t over each 7 ch of preceding row, and ch 7 between the t. Continue thus until the space is filled. DraWving lines across the pattern a half inch apart will aid in keep- ing the rows even. After ripping the back piece from pattern, begin at the top left corner and work around the curved edge of back, as follows: ch 10, * miss 4 on edge, work 1 t into next st, ch 7 and repeat from around to the opposite corner.

Knitted Outing Jacket DIRECTIONS BY GWEN KEYS ATERIALS: Spanish knitting yarn M of any desired color, a pair of fine bone needles and seven buttons for the front. In giving directions for a garment of this kind it is not possible to tell the ex- jact number of stitches and rows, as differ- ent workers do not work alike; some will work tight and have the garment too small, while others will work loosely and have it too large. The most satisfactory method is to have a paper pattern the re- quired size as a guide. With the yarn and needles to be used knit a small piece to ‘find out how many stitches make an inch and how many rounds make an inch in length, The following directions are for a 36- inch bust. Begin at the waistline in the back. Cast on 75 stitches (sts) and knit back and forth plain for 8 inches, or un- til the armhole is reached. In _ knitting these 8 inches widen 1 st each side about every 12th row. The number of sts now will be about 96. In the next row bind off 12 sts at the beginning of the row, and in the next row bind off 12 sts for the other armhole. Knit about 3 inches more, narrowing 1 st each side about every 6th row. Knit 4 inches more, widening 1 st at each side every 6th row. This brings the work to the neck and should measure 15 inches in the back from neck to waist line. Leave 24 sts for the neck and take half of the remain- ing stitches for each front. Knit the stitches for one front and the 24 for the neck. Leave the stitches for the other front on a separate needle. Turn and bind off the 24 for the neck and with the re- Begin at the left lower edge of the front and crochet single crochet (s ¢c) in each st of the edges of revers and around the collar. Turn, and work s c in s ec, tak- ing back st of the one below each time, until 4 rows have been made. Then work a slip st all around loosely, taking through both sts beneath. Turn back the revers as seen in the il- lustration, forming a small plait in each front to adjust it to the waist line. The peplum may be knit separate and sewed on, or made on the body. Sew up the un- der arm seams of the jacket. After turn- ing back the revers begin at the corner of the front with the right side next to you, and take up stitches along the lower edge of the jacket. There should be sts enough to reach around the waist and 1-3 more. This one has 208, but if hips are large take up more. Work in plain ribbing quite tightly by k 2, p 2, for 2 inches. Then knit plain for 4 inches more. At the front edges widen 1 st every 6th row. Finish the edge of the peplum same as the neck and revers. For the sleeve begin at the lower edge of the cuff. Cast on 48 stitches and work in plain ribbing, purl (p) 2, knit (k) 2, Knit the In the next row add a stitch after each one in the cuff, making 94. sts in all. Knit plain for about 6 inches, then begin to widen at the edges. Widen 1 st each side in every 8th row until the edges of the sleeve measure 22 inches. Bind off 12 sts un- der the arm.

In this way there; Turn back the cuff 2 inches. Sew the are enough stitches widened on to form the revers which turn back (see_ illus- tration). If the work is not wide enough to form the revers, work a few more rows, widening at the neck as before. After the work is wide enough to form the revers, begin narrowing at the front edge and widening at the armhole. Nar- row 1 st at the front every 12th row, and widen at the arm every 6th row for about 24 rows, then every 3d row for 24 more rows. The armhole should measure 16 inches. If it is not so large, cast on a few sts on the edge next to the arm. The narrowing at the front is continued to the waist line. After the armhole is Are required size, begin narrowing at the under-arm edge of the front, every 12th row, and knit it 8 inches deep to cor- respond with the back edge. Bind off 6 sts. At the under-arm edge, knit to front edge and back, * then bind off 3, knit to ‘front and back again * and repeat from * to * 10 times. This lengthens the front for the pouch effect. Bind off the _ re- maining stitches. Knit the other front to correspond with this one. The revers should begin to turn at the point where the two edges meet easily at the neck. At this point begin taking up stitches for the collar. Take up stitches around the neck for the col- lar, place stitches quite close together. Knit plain for about 4 inches, then bind off the stitches very loosely. sleeve in the armhole, with the seam at the seam in the body, or a little in farther front. Full the top to fit the armhole. Fasten the revers back with three buttons sewn on each side. Button the jacket at the waist and leave the fronts open. These directions are for this style of gar- ment in plain knitting. Any of the fancy stitches used for sweaters may be worked up in this style by using the same propor- tions as given above. There are styles in sweaters as well as in coats, skirts, and hats, and with the shortening of the coats, indications point towards shorter sweaters for the fall. These will be thirty and thirty-six inches. and probably some will be as short as twenty-four inches. The long coat sweat- ers are perfectly appropriate for automo- bile wear, but as a general utility garment of comfort, the shorter length is more sat- isfactory. A new sweater coat which promises to become popular is in double-breasted mili- tary style, buttoned on the side with large pearl buttons. Another new coat, an imported hand- made garment, is one that can be turned inside out and worn to equal advantage either way. The stitch is exactly the same on both sides and the buttons are at- tached so that they can readily be re- versed. In infants’ wear one of the prét- tiest new knitted coats is in a fancy stitch | with a military collar. -Underwea FOR BOYS This Label on Every Garment Insist on "Porosknit."

Fortunately there are almost as many distinctive styles in coif- fures as there are different types of feminine faces, so that it should not be a difficult matter to decide which one of them most becomes an _ indivi- dual set of features and certain- ly it is easy to learn how to ar- range the tresses in any desired manner. It is needless to state that the pompadour has gone _ out so utterly that a head carrying hair so arranged is now regarded as a curiosity and its owner as frankly stared at as though she had but recently awakened from a Rip Van Winkle sleep. And as might have been expect- ed, Fashion, which always flys from one extreme to another, has ordained that coiffures shall be flat and particularly directly above the brow where once was piled the unsanitary “rat.” The flat, close style of arrang- ing the hair especially commends itself to the American woman who is absolutely weary of the untidy fluffy effects for which the pompadour was responsible, and is glad to adopt a style of coiffure which may confident- ly be expected to look neatly from the breakfast to the dinner hour. That this type of hair- dressing is speedily and easily arranged is not the least of its virtues. Leaving a short, curl- ing bang about the brow, the front and side locks are loosely waved, drawn straight back to the nape of the neck, securely pinned and the ends tucked underneath. The remainder of the hair, which includes the greater por- tion of the suite, is then divided at the nape of the neck, loosely twisted and spread around the crown, thus definitely dividing the back and waved portion from the brow bangs. Of course this rule of arrangement, applies only in the case of a long and thick growth of hair, for if the tresses are rather thin and short, the waved front and back locks must then be massed at the nape of the neck and drawn forward over the rear of the head upon a Callot cap of hair-covered wire, after which a loosely twisted switch of ‘acquired’? hair must be wound about the crown precisely as in the first instance. It sometimes happens that the hair dressed closely to the sides of the face makes the features appear too long and thin, in which event very small “rats” with taper- ing ends should be pinned be- tween -the temples and the nape of the neck. While this type of coiffure was primarily designed solely for daytime use, it may readily be made suffi- ciently dressy for evening occasions of ceremony, by plac- ing about the crown twist a Greek fillet of chased or jewel set metal, weaving among the locks a gold or silver game ribbon or placing a spray of flowers just back of the left ear. Puffs are as fashionable as ever, but they are now used almost exclusively in building up the evening coiffure, which is flat at the sides of the as seen in the pictures and statutes representing women of the classic period. This style of hairdressing may be accomplished in two ways. The locks, always excepting the short curling bang, are drawn to the top of the head, securely pinned and then form- ed into eight or nine puffs and a switch loosely twisted and pinned about the crown, or all the locks are massed at the nape of the neck, divided, twisted, wound about the crown, and false puffs arranged across the top of the head. The latter method is the easier one, as to form the natural hair into evenly proportioned puffs requires considerable practice and an im- mense amount of patience, particularly if THE Fiat, CLosE SryLe or ARRANGING THE HaAiR ESPECIALLY COMMENDS ITSELF TO THE AMERICAN WOMAN the hair is of a very fine, soft quality. If the features are regular and the head of classic shape, the Psyche coil should by all means be adopted. In this instance the bang should be omitted although a few short locks may be allowed to wander over the brow and lend softness to the face, but all the hair must be loosely waved and coiled at the back of the head exactly in line with the tip of the nose. This matter of placing the coil precisely as advised seems of small importance to the amateur hair-dresser, but she wilt find, after sundry experiments, that the Psyche knot placed an inch too high or too low, makes an immense amount of difference to the general appearance of the head. The woman who has long but thin locks will find this a PUFFS ARE NOW FASHIONABLE FOR THE EVENING COIFFURE We commend and guarantee the reliability of our advertisers. most satisfactory manner of arranging them —in case the Psyche becomes her—as the front and side hair may be waved over a small ‘rat’? and a switch added to the back coil. It is a mistake to be discouraged about the hair merely because it is thin and luster- less, for that condition is fre- quently due to ill health, a feverish state of the blood or habitual neglect of the scalp. The best way to cause the hair to come in, is to regularly massage the scalp with the fin- gers, as that will arouse circu- lation and loosen the skin of the head. Every night the hair should be thoroughly brushed, but not too roughly, and if it is harsh to the touch and of dull appearance a little sweet oil applied with the fingertips will make the locks both soft and shining. Young girls were at first reluctant to give up the almost universally becoming pompa- dour, unless they were privi- leged to adopt some method of arranging the hair which would be more comforatble, for no woman, young or old, professes for a moment that any of the exaggerated forms’ of hair- dressing which requires so much added hair or other material piled upon the head are in any way comfortable. But they have learned that the look of de- mureness which the present method of dressing the hair “adds to the face is too charm- ing to be ignored. The wear- ing of natural flowers in the hair on all dressy occasions, where the head is uncovered, is a fad which is fast gaining in favor and is universally becoming to the young’ blonde | and brunette, and the more mature matron, with silvery locks, finds the beauty of her coiffure very greatly enhanced when = she tucks a pink carnation in the most becom- ing position. For promenade wear at all the summer resorts the Big auto veil, knotted in some becoming manner about the head, is pretty sure to take the place of the large hat, and the present mode of aranging the hair is one which will not become easily mussed by any fantastic arrangement of the fancy chiffon head gear. Women who have accustomed themselves to balancing their hats comfortably and securely above their pompa- dours, and _ fastening them there with numberless long hat-pins, at first, find it diffi- cult to pin the hat properly in place by running the long pins through the “turban” of hair in such a manner that some of the accompanying braids and puffs do not need readjustment when the hat is removed. Many women place a small back comb in the front of the hair, with the teeth pointing to the back of the head, and the edges of the hat, resting against the rim of the comb, are held securely in place instead of sliding to- ward the back of the head in a most unseemly manner, The care of the masses of hair which are now piled on the heads must be thoroughly understood if the best effects are to be obtained. The hair which is removed at night re- quires just as careful brush- ing and washing as that upon the head, and unless it receives it, it will soon lose its resem- blance to the growing hair. As a rule any good switch may be washed in _. luke- warm suds made from any pure soap with a tiny bit of ammonia added, then care- fully rinsed and dried.

It is humiliating to a girl not to be suitably dressed at any time and we should take pride in having the graduation dress a dainty, airy frock, but it can be all this and simple and inexpensive too, and this is where good judgment counts for all time and foolishness makes misery. The pretty little cap Our which is illustrated on June Pattern oy, page this month is one that may be easily made by any busy mother who has not much time to em- broider. It may be cut from any material, of silk if desired, or of linen, cotton lawn or batiste, the latter three fabrics being most suitable for asummer baby cap. Val- enciennes lace edges the round inset at the back of the cap and is also laid in neat rows about the face portion, also making a frill about the face.

Fairy tales and simple in- teresting stories of child life are good, but one should never read anything that would excite or irritate the little patients. “Paper dolls furnish much amusement. The older children can cut them out, mount them on pasteboard and arrange the dresses themselves, while the younger ones will en- joy watching some one do it and having the dolls to play with. Cardboard dolls can be bought and, using the dresses they have on for patterns, many more dresses can be made from all sorts of colored and fancy paper. Those who can cut out pictures nicely will also enjoy making picture books, and if the children have a little help in planning they can make very interesting books. One lit- tle boy furnished a department store from picture cuttings, grouping all goods of one nature together in neat order. Then he had great fun conducting his paper dolls through the pages and telling them about his goods. Another way which many children delight in is to furnish a house, using two pages of a scrap book for each room. Sometimes the Sometimes graduation day becomes | little invalids will enjoy simple games but one must always re- member not to allow any excitement. Quiet games such as flinch, dominoes, etc. give lots of pleasure to some little folks. “A good way to keep sick children cheerful and happy is to have something new for them each day — some little in- expensive gift, a brand new amuse- ment or something especially tempting for the capricious appetite. One little girl who had _ been very ill thought she would get well faster if she had a ring, so her parents bought her one. She had never had a ring be- fore and spent many happy hours looking at her treasure. A doll, pretty picture book or story book, a toy or any of the things children like will go far towards brightening the days. One little boy who was ill received word from a friend to keep watch for the mail man every day for a week. This friend told other friends and relatives about her plan to send him something each day and they all helped her out. The child looked eagerly for the postman every morning, and the things he received kept him amused from one day to the next. One friend sent some boys’ papers, one a funny jumping jack, one a book, one a series of post cards lasting a week and so on. The last day they made a post-card shower for him.

He wears Holdeez which makes any bed or couch as good as a crib, or, if baby sleeps in a crib, it keeps him from climbing out or getting caught in the bars. Holdeez is a mother's invention for her own comfort and her baby’s safety. It is simplicity itself. It consists of two parts: first, bed strap which is not removed while taking up the child or when making the bed, and second, body-strap which is put on or taken off in a minute and which gives baby perfect com- fort and abundant freedom. He cannot possibly get tangled up. It also has a perfect device for holding bed clothes in exactly the right place. Thousands of little ones are injured for life by climbing or falling out of bed, by smothering, or by other accidents which Holdeez absolutely prevents. One single accident may do injury that can never be remedied. You owe your baby the best protection that can be secured against such dangers. Holdeez is made in four sizes and of two grades of material. Prices, $1.00 and $2.00 (postpaid if your dealer hasn't it).

Mother and Child [CONCLUDED FROM PAGE 32] his eyes went over to the piano and down came the little fist on the shining keys. He walked away with such a look of complete innocence that Mother and Auntie both laughed heartily and Auntie caught him up with a kiss and carried him out to see the kittens. But the next day when Mother and William called on the new Minister’s wife the little boy soon discovered the piano and started to play. His mother spoke to him but he paid no heed so she rose and started to close the piano, but Master William ob- jected and there were angry screams and Mother had to carry the little boy to her chair. And why not? Yesterday it had been a play—they had laughed at him then, so why not to-day. It was injustice to his baby heart and he rebelled. If no ‘attention had been paid to the baby when she sulked she would have soon tired of her lonesome corner and forgotten her grievance, and if William in his restlessness had been gently reminded of the piano being a for- bidden thing and his attention directed to something else he probably would not have troubled the piano again. A good idea when the baby sulks is to leave the room imme- diately. With no attention a baby’s of- fended dignity wears off and with no audi- ence a screaming child will soon tire of its tantrum. But babies demand attention and if we laugh at them for some little mischief one day they think they are cunning and will expect us to laugh at the same prank another day.—M. M.

There never was a people, since crowds first congregated in cities who, knowing better, take such long: chances with fate as do later-day Americans. Ten months in the year we keep a watchful eye on the muni- cipal drainage system and then hie us to haunts where the only water commissioner is him of the old oaken bucket. Usually nothing happens, for which we forget to thank an all-wise Providence, a forgetful- aess doubly deplorable since the affliction escaped is typhoid. Strange as it may seem, the precaution that is worth so many pounds of cure may be bought at any country store for ten cents. No complicated faucet attachment, no widely advertised nostrum, but a simple every-day plant pot. Procure one of a fairly large size, yet small enough at the bottom to fit into the neck of an ordinary water pitcher. Carefulness in such little things is necessary, for the cus- tomary summer hotel has no supplies for elaborate hygienic equipment. Into this pot put a pint of boiled pebbles, then a quart of coarsely ground charcoal, then a quart of powdered charcoal and the home-made filter is complete. No need to cover it, the quart of doubtful water turned into it in an idle hour will find its way through the cleansing layers and drip from the drainage hole a sparkling draught worthy of Hebe.

JAPANESE NEEDLEWOMEN.—The daugh- ters of the land of flowers sometimes cur- iously reverse European methods. They needle their thread instead of threading their needle, and instead of running their needle through the cloth, they hold it still, and run the cloth upon it. An English lady long resident in Tokyo once wrote to a friend that the impulse of her Japa- nese maids is always to sew on cuff frills and other similar things topsy turvy and inside out. Since the publication of such reports the art of needlework has_ been greatly improved in Japan. Several of the English methods have been taught with great success, if only to judge by the lovely drawn-thread work sold in great quantities in Great Britain.—The Queen.

The question of water supply and sewage disposal de- pends, of course, en- tirely on local con- ditions; consult a plumber about this. As to the smoke-pipe, an ordinary kitchen take stove- pipe, surround it with a heavy gal- vanized iron heater pipe, and pour liq- uid conerete in be- tween; the spaces should be two inches at least, When this has set, you have a= fire- proof pipe that can safely be run across the ceiling of the bathroom, to the chimney. The bath- room ceiling, if de- | sired, can be low- acide. ered so as not to let the pipe show. A similar arrangement provides the chamber in the wing with connection to the chimney. No heat is provided, except the fire- places; but by omitting the fire-place in front chamber and running the. chimney down to the cellar, a heater could be read- ily installed.

36 HE Quinn-Campbell Conservatory of Music offers, through its home _ study courses, an opportunity for studying music that up to the time it was founded could not have been had at any price—nothing like them had ever been prepared. The work is arranged for beginners — those who know nothing of music — professionals, amateurs and teachers.’ [he remarkable success of this in- stitution — students in every state and sixteen foreign countries — is due to its maintenance of a standard; the directors and officers refused to make concessions to a few pupils who complained that the work was too good; they wanted instruction that would enable them “to play” without requiring a reasonable amount of work; inferior instruction “would be good enough.” “Good enough” means stopping short of perfection. Just making good is all right as far as it goes but the trouble is that most every one makes good, you're lost in the crowd. Making more than good puts you in a class by yourself ; at least there are so few doing it that you'll find not much, if any competition and a mighty lot of satisfaction. | If you are one who has tried and tried to learn music, and have given up, try again once more with the Quinn-Campbell Conservatory of Music, if they can do for you what they have done for others —they can; you’ll be paid over and over again; the dark days of the past will be forgotten in your joy of the present. We don’t ask you to do anything; just investigate; when you begin you'll not stop until you are studying music with the Quinn-Campbell Conservatory of Music. We will pay your tuition if you will cooperate with us in interesting your friends in the work of this institution. The Peoples University P. O. Box 1052, University City, St. Louis, Mo.

CO., 110 Pearl Street, Syracuse, N. Y. The Modern Priscilla for June, 1910 Read What The Editor Says About the Associate American Woman’s League A Remarkable Movement There are big things doing among the women of the United States. They are moving onward and up- ward in civic, educational and indus- trial life as never before. Perhaps as powerful as any one influence in this direction to-day is THE AMERICAN WoMAN’S LEAGUE— an organization scarcely a year old, yet having already approximately 100,000 members. Are you, my reader, informed as to this wonderful organization that is sweeping the country like a prairie fire? If not, it is time you were! and as THE MopEerN PRISCILLA is to some extent connected with it, I am going to use the “ You and I” De- partment this month to explain it, so that all our readers may have an opportunity to share in its multi- tudinous benefits. Founded by a Man THE AMERICAN WoMAN’s LEAGUE was founded by a man. That man is Mr. E. G. Lewis, president of tne Lewis Publishing Company of Uni- versity City, St. Louis, Mo. In many respects he is one of the most re- markable men this country has ever produced. Mr. Lewis seems to have been deeply impressed with two great de- mands that exist in this country to- day—the demand of the American woman for a broader education and culture for herself and her children, and the demand of periodical pub- lishers for subscribers for their mag- azines. To the ordinary thinker these de- mands would seem to be wide apart, and there would appear to be little possibility of satisfying both at a sin- gle stroke. But Mr. Lewis, genius that he is, has hit upon a plan that bids fair to do this very thing. A Genius and His Dream I have called Mr. Lewis a genius. A genius is a man who dreams dreams and then makes those dreams realities. Such a man is Mr. E. G. Lewis. Let me picture to you something of the vision that he saw when the evolved the plan of The American Woman’s League. He saw an or- ganization reaching from the Atlan- tic to the Pacific, and from Canada to the Gulf. He saw local chapters of that organization in every town, village and hamlet. He saw those chapters occupying each a beautiful and artistic chapter house. He saw each chapter house the centre of the civic and social life of the commun- ity. He saw the assembled members enjoying social intercourse. He saw them being entertained with the world’s best music and uplifted by the world’s best literature. But best of all, he saw the members of this Read List of April Prize Winners on Page 37 vast organization enjoying FREE EDUCATION in art, music, science, business, agriculture, home econom- ics and all other useful branches— FREE TO THEMSELVES AND THEIR CHILDREN. How Dreams are Materializing Did you ever hear anything that sounded more Utopian? Don’t you feel inclined to say—‘A _ beautiful dream, but impossible of accomplish- ment”? That’s what every one has said. And yet, as I write these lines The American Woman’s’ League has nearly 100,000 enthusiastic mem- bers, in hundreds of chapters, and “chapter houses” are being built in towns and cities in all parts of this broad land. More than that, League members are enjoying pleasanf social inter- course, they are listening to the world’s best music, and they are se- curing education FREE OF COST. What all This pci to You You are eligible to membership in The American Woman’s League. You and your children may share in the social and educational advantages that it offers. The requirements for LIFE membership are so easy to comply with that whether you live in city, town, or village, you will have no difficulty in meeting them. If a chapter has been, or is being organized in your locality, you ought to be connected with it. If one has not as yet been established, you ought to be its organizer. In any case, you owe it to yourself and to your family to get in touch with this won- derful movement. Full information is to be had for the asking. All you need to do is to 'address a letter to The American Woman’s League, University City, St. Louis, Mo. (put Inquirers’ Dept. in the lower left-hand corner of the en- velope), saying you are interested and want particulars. A prompt re- ply will be forthcoming in which the purposes, plans and advantages of the organization will be plainly stated, and the requirements for membership fully explained. The Associate Editor’s Advice My advice to you is to act in this matter NOW. Don’t put it off until a more convenient season, but write your letter to-day. If, as a result, you become a member of . THE AMERICAN WoMAN’s LeEacurE, I am sure you will thank me later for having urged you to investigate. - THE ASSOCIATE EDITOR.

Are they snowy white and smooth as satin? No? Well. don’t be so disconsolate about it, because I am _ sure they only need a little care to become beautiful in every particular. The trouble with most women is. that they spend so much time on the face that they slight the shoulders. The result is the skin grows wrinkled and yellow, and ugly open pores appear. What I want you to do is to pet your shoulders as you do your face. You will never regret it. Shoul- ders, to be beautiful, must be just wide enough to balance the figure. For instance, if you are a strong, robust woman, your shoulders should be broad and plump. This is called the matronly shoulder. If you are a frail little creature with misty, wistful shoulders should be delicately is the youthful is the eyes, your molded. This Another type shoulder. fashionable shoulder. It slopes gently into the lines of the arms and bust, and is plump in front and thin in the back. Whether you own to the matronly shoulder, the youth- ful shoulder, or the fashion- able shoulder, see to it that the skin is of a marble white- ness. If the shoulders are eared for properly, they should gleam like driven snow. Shoulders should never be thin. Bones are not beauti- ful, "so cover them with a soft layer of flesh as quickly as ever you can. ‘Too fat shoulders are equally taboo, as grossness of any kind detracts from a woman’s beauty. Another point to be considered study of the shoulders is the quality of the skin. It should be as soft and satiny as a rose leaf. Now that you know what to strive for, it is time for me to give you a talk on how to attain to such perfection. Are you stoop-shouldered? Then begin this very minute to correct that defect, as no one admires a woman with rounded shoulders. Practise the following exercise diligently each day for ten minutes. Stand erect with chest thrown out and abdomen drawn in. Now raise the arms to the level of the shoulders, and extend them as shown in the illustration. You should now clinch the fists and make the muscles rigid, after which flex the elbows and bring your fists quickly to shoulders, back to original position, again to shoulders, ete. Don’t forget that the muscles must be held tense throughout the entire exer- cise. The benefits of this exercise are more than one—or two, either, for the matter of that. If practised daily, it will strength- en weak lungs. It will give you a pretty, straight back. It will also develop’ the chest and neck.

All letters will be rounded It serves as shoulders go back Another way of straightening shoulders is to wear a brace. a reminder, and your and your chest out as Nature intended them to. What causes stooped shoulders? Gener- ally they come from lying in an incorrect position during sleep. Probably you sleep with your head resting on a fat, comfort- able pillow. No pillow at all is best, and after you get accustomed to sleeping this way, it will be found more restful. Another habit that causes rounded shoulders is sleeping—as most women do—curled up like a cute little kitten. It would be infinitely better for your lungs, your figure, and your general health, if you would sleep lying flat on your back with the arms straight at the sides. Massage is invaluable to the woman who seeks to beautify her shoulders. Thin, bony shoulders can be plumpened, and fat shoulders reduced by this means. If your shoulders are thin to a disheartening degree, begin to feed the flesh. Use the very best skin food on the market, as the best is none too good for this purpose, and don’t be stingy with it. Before beginning the massage bathe the shoulders in very hot water, to which add a few drops of Roman “Tonic. Keep deluging the neck and shoulders until the skin is tinted blood — red. 3efore the flesh has time to cool, massage in a handful of nourishing ointment, rubbing the flesh very gently with a light circular motion, which is not only a rubbing but a kneading as well. Follow this up with light taps of the fingers, and end by throwing quantities of cold water over shoulders, neck and upper arms. This treatment exercises the muscles. inspires a lively circulation of the blood and creates fiesh quickly. =: Massage Cream Oil of sweet almonds, 20 grams, Lanoline, 30 grams. Tannin, one-half gram. When the shoulders are pudgy and full of great soft creases, you can reduce them by giving them a heavy dry massage. Rub and roll the flesh between the fingers as much as you can without injuring the skin. This breaking down of the fatty tissues causes the flesh to become flabby and soft, and the skin has a tendency to fall into tiny lines. Such a catastrophe can be avoided by bathing the shoulders with an astrin- gent wash, which can be made as follows: Astringent for Flabby Arms Tincture of Benzoin, 15 drops [CONCLUDED ON PAGE 40] We commend and guarantee the reliability of our advertisers. 39 “preserve .

Before taking either of these treatments, let me impress upon you the importance of first washing the neck and shoulders with hot soapy water and a complexion brush or pad. Unless this is done, you will be kneading dust and powder into the pores and the result will be a crop of pimples and blackheads. Shoulders should be white. Normally, they are; and if they aren't, it means yon have neglected them. Make a point of scouring them every night with a soft nail- brush dripping with hot soapy water. If the skin is kept free from dust and grime you cannot help but have shoulders that When the bath is com- pleted, dip your hands in buttermilk and rub them over the skin, letting the buttermilk stay on until it dries. It will not be many days before your shoulders will be white and altogether charming. When the shoulders are rough and the skin continually peeling off, it is enough to make one sit down and cry. But instead of that, gather around and let me tell you a simple remedy which is warranted to make your shoulders delightfully smooth.

The first hat illustrated has a design of dots in varying sizes and this may be worked in four shades of red, blue, yel- low, green, or brown, with the buttonholed edge of both brim and crown in white. The ribbon should harmonize with the embroidery, or if a more elaborate trim- ming is desired, flowers may be used in IN SOLID EMBROIDERY Transfer pattern, either size, Stamping paste, 75 cents; on cotton lawn, 50 cents. cents additional. 15 cents. directions, Perforated stamping 10 and 25 cents a _ box.

The second illustration shows a grace- ful little design which is especially pretty in two shades of light green and white. The flowers and scallops are white, the fern-like leaves are light green, and the dots and tendrils are in the darker green, or the dots may be worked as eyelets with white thread. In fact the entire design may be in white and the trimmings may be of any color to suit the wearer. A ruffle of lace around both crown and brim will add to the soft, dainty appearance that a hat of this style should possess, and will also increase the size. No. 10-6-42.

THAT BUNION CAN BE CURED People laugh at bunions; but not the people who have them ; those who have them hardly ever laugh until they get rid of them. YOUR BUNION CAN BE CURED Thousands of others have cured the most obstinate, painful, distressing cases — cured them. Cured them with the Anti-Bunion Plaster cure, which is the only cure ever devised which actually kills the cause of bunions, eases away the growth, and restores the joint to perfect normal function. So-called shields or circular plasters don’t cure; they only push the point up and make the bunion worse. Our Anti-Bunion Plaster works differently. They work in contact with and on the bunion. Relief is immediate; no inconvenience while taking the treatment, no pain on the bunion point; wear tighter shoes than you have worn — and in comfort. The treatment is a home treatment. You owe it to yourself to prove these facts by a free trial treatment — there is no charge for it — nothing to pay. All we ask is your name and where to send it — enclose a two-cent stamp — that’s all you have to do. FOOT REMEDY COMPANY, 3514 West 26th Street, Chicago, Ill.

ee | Keep the Children in Pretty Dresses With the Aid of Diamond Dyes Diamond Dyes for the Children You can keep the children in pretty dresses with the aid of Diamond Dyes. r If the little one’s dress has become soiled or faded you can restore its color and freshness with a bath in Diamond Dyes. Or you can change its color just as easily. A ten cent package of just the right shade will dye old, faded, soiled clothes so they’ll look just like new. And not only look new, but the chemical action of the dyes will add life to the material and give it longer wear. Diamond Dyes for You You may have tried dyeing some old material before and were not satisfied. But it wasn’t Diamond Dyes you used. Diamond Dyes are far superior to any in the world and give perfectly splendid results. The Truth About Diamond Dyes are the Standard of the world and always give perfect results. must be sure that you get the real Diamond Dyes and the kin to the article you intend to dye. Beware of imitations of Diamond Dyes. Imitators who make only one kind of dye, claim that their imitations will color Wool, Silk, or Cotton (“all fabrics”) equally well, This claim is false, because no dye that will give the finest results on Wool, Silk, or other animal fibres, can be used successfully for dyeing Cotton, Linen, or other vegetable fibres. For this reason we make two kinds of Diamond Dyes, namely: Diamond Dyes for Wool, and Diamond Dyes for Cotton. You of Diamond Dyes adapted Diamond Dye Annual — Free Children’s Dresses from Faded Materials Dyed Attractive Shades by Using Diamond Dyes After trying it once, you’ll use it with pleasure on many things you have in the home that seem too good to throw away. There are a thousand uses for Diamond Dyes — and each one will save you money. You Take No Risk with Diamond Dyes You can use Diamond Dyes and be sure of the results. You can use them with safety on the most expensive piece of goods — and there is no danger of the goods becoming spotted or streaked or harmed in any way. Faded hosiery, silk gloves, veils and feathers can be made like new with their use. Portieres, couch covers, table covers, ribbons, sashes and trimmings of all kinds are given new life and added beauty. And for dyeing dress goods, faded garments, skirts, waists and suits — Diamond Dyes are invaluable both in economy and usefulness. Diamond Dyes are ‘‘The Standard of the World” and the only dyes perfect in formula, positive in action, certain in result. the Use of Dyes Diamond Dyes for Wool should not be used for coloring Cotton, Linen, or Mixed Goods, as they are especially adapted for Wool, Silk, or other animal fibres, which take up the dye quickly. Diamond Dyes for Cotton are especially adapted for Cotton, Linen, cr other vegetable fibres, which take up the dye slowly. **Mixed Goods,”’ also known as “ Union Goods,’’ are made chiefly of either Cotton, Linen, or other vegetable fibres. For this reason our Diamond Dyes for Cotton are the best dyes made for these goods.
