FEATURES. Pleating for Frocks, Scarfs and Hats BY MARY For any frock that is to go to the cleaner and not to the washer- woman, pleating Is admirable. It does seem rather inconsiderate, though, the way some of the dressmakers use pleating on cotton and linen blouses and frocks that ought. in the nature of things, to be washed with soap and water. And vet, of course, that sort of cleansing treatment wrecks the Pleating. Except for that the pleat- PLEATING TRIMS BACK OF YELLOW CREPE DE CHINE FROCKS SHOWN IN SKETCH.

We hesitated wearing a pleated skirt uniess we expected to walk or stand all the time we wore it. Now for any sort of chiffon, georg- ette or crepe frock—and most frocks are of those materials, it seems— pleating is admirable. Pleating is especially liked now because it offers an attractive way of using the very WHEN WE G MARSHAL thin fabries that are so much in vogue. It gives volume and fullness to chiffon or georgette without giving thickness. Just compare the effect of fullness shirred or gathered into a frock of georgette and the same full- ness introduced by means of pleating! attractive pleated frocks of the sea- | son. Tt is vellow crepe de chine, with the pleating all at the back. At the front there is a V neckline finished with a brown and yellow tie. The long sleeves are also trimmed with the pleating. There is nothing very novel about using pleating to trim blouses and frocks, but we are sometimes aston- ished to see how much pleating is used in trimming hats, in the mak- ing of dainty underthings, and in the new scarfs. Then the large box pleats that are introduced to give oc- casional fullness to the skirt of a frock are an old style recently re- vived. Quite frequently with the new sport frocks these large box pleats appear well below the hips or at the knees. SUMMERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE.

It has that opulent, robust handsomeness that means the reign of delicate Spring flowers have given way to the stur- dier beauties of full Summertide. The milkweed, with its sticky juice that oozes from every wound, may be no pleasure to pick, but we can at least admire the thick, handsome fo. liage and the heads of white, green mauve, vellow and scarlet flowers, for the milkweed flower is no mean won- der of floral symmetry and mechan ism Each little bloom is made up of the usual parts of a flower based on the fundamen five curious little horn-like bodies be side, which give to the milkweed flower the mark which distinguishes it from all other flowers.

ALLE The Wicker Furniture Family. Handmade furniture! It is strange but true that the most inexpensive type of modern furniture is all hand- made. And wicker or woven furniture is modern in every sense of the word— at least to the western world. Le: than a half century ago there was no manufacturing industry in this line in America; and only within the last few years has it been given the attention that it deserves. Now, however, we are getting designs to fit American needs, weaves that add comfort where that is important, and to increa strength in other parts. Indeed, the person whose impressions of wicker furniture were formed in the last gen eration has something very pleasant in store if she will put away her prej udices and go a-shopping into the mar- ket. In the first place mensely greater v from which was formerly nearly all made from the rattan of China and India, or of willow from northern France. These are still plaving an important part but in addition there are grasses and reeds and cane from every section of the tropices, besides a variety that we might call “synthet 1" made from paper.

It | ture has become more sturdy and practical than the flaring lines of the earlier styles would permit. But if any of the gayety has been taken out of ‘the structure, it has been more than made up for in colors. From being almost exclusively a drab or sand-colored line, wicker is now selling in every color of the rainbow, and re. ported, in fact, to be most popular in two-color designs of contrasting shades 3ut perhaps the thing which, most of all, Is adding new friends to the wicker furniture family is the com- | fort which is being built into it.

Some- hing in wicker, with its colored ma- terials or upholstery, will do just that, and it doesn't e to be a chair, and more, for there are settees and little tables, baskets for the fireplace, lamps, stools, daybeds and even desks mac f this woven material. Of course, wicker is essentially a porch and outdoor furniture, and there you will enjoy it at the best. Fortunately, too,” it is something which stands the weather. Water soaking doesn’t harm it; there are no joints to warp open, and sun-peeling one coat of paint or varnish leaves the surface below in perfect condition to receive another layer. - Chicken-Mushroom Croquettes.

The planetary aspects of tomorrow are more favorable for the emotions than for business or professional en- terprises. In fact, in so far as ordi- nary commerclal pursuits are con- cerned, the influences are adverse, as the feelings engendered will prompt a vielding impulse that is not compati- ble with ultimate success and might eventually lead to loss and disap- pointment. It is not advisable under such conditions to listen too carefully to any new propositions or to loan money. In the other sphere of life— the intimate and temperamental—all the signs indicate that there will be experienced a strong urge to heal in- differences and forgive wrongs and incidents that caused annoyance or anger will be forgotten and over- looked. This atmosphere will promote the prosecution of love suits, and ad- vantage should be taken, if so desired, of this most propitious opportunity for “plighting love.” A girl born tomorrow will be healthy and strong and by her vivacity and charm radiate happiness and love. She promises to enjoy a fair degree of pulchritude, and will in any walk of life show gentleness of disposition, firmness of character and a careful outlook of life that neither loss nor disappointment will weaken. destined to be a good daughter affectionate wife and a wonderful mother. A boy born tomorrow will, however, not be so productive of either pride or contentment. He will suffer much from fliness during youth, which will react on his disposition and render him impatient and querulous. He will be studious and painstaking, but will generally prefer the seclu: sion of his own society to the com- panionship of others 1f tomorrow is your birthday anni- ersary, you possess a strong and dominating personality, although by no means an attractive one. You are very determined, and in order to se cure your ends more ruthless than considerate. You are self-opinionated, and by your stubbornness and inabil: ity to yleld gracefully have an unfor tunate knack of standing n the way of your own success, as well as of putting vourself in a wrong light. If you are misjudged, and at least think vou are, the fault is yours and not that of those of whose criticism you complain. In order to attain that success for which you both long and strive, it is necessary to cultivate caution both in speech and action. It is not al ways polite to assert ur own par- ticular views in order to assure vour- self of an individual but a transitory triumph. Silence is golden. Specch is often costly. (Copyright, 1025.)

Racial Origin—English or Cornish and Scottish. Source—A locality. The family name of Borland differs from that of Dorland by only one let- ter. Yet the latter is of Dutch origin, while the former is either of English, Cornish or Scottish. There are enough ‘records of the name to establish definitely the fact that it js derived from a place name, and that in the first instance it sig- nified the place from which the bearer had come, or with which he was con- nected in some way. But, as is so often the case where there are several localities bearing the same name, it is impossible without research in the in- dividual case to say from which of these the family name has developed. The English place name of Borland may signify either “the common land’ of any one of a hundred communities or the ‘“bordland,” signifying the lands which the -Norman feudal lords kept in their own hands for the sup- port of their board or table. As a Cornish or Scottish place name it signified the rising or swell- ing land. There is a place of this name in Fifeshire, Scotland. Waxed Beans. While these do not have the same proportion of strings as do the green beans, we do find strings adhering. It is important in serving to see that the beans are broken into attractive pieces and with every vestige of strings removed. Often very good DETHOL. wonderful new secret All kinds.
