WOMAN’S PAGE. Improving the Fit of the Lingerie BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. “An air of delicacy and neatness throughout the whole appearance,” ‘Wwas sald, by a French writer, to be of Ereater appeal than mere good looks in a woman. “Less natural beauty” could be forgiven, but not slovenliness of attire. Although his words were written some centuries ago, much that he sald then is true today and VELL FITTING 1 SRIE I8 IMPORTANT TO FIT OF DRESSES WORN OVER IT. especially the value of neatness in the details of attire The fit of a gown, the firmness of a neck or shoulder line, are dependent on things which do not or should not meet the eye. They are well devised lingerie, well cared for shoulder BEDTIME STORIES Buster Is Interested. Some tongues there are that wag too much. "Tis well fo keep away from sucl —oOld Mother Nature. Buster Bear was feeling in fine #pirits. All Summer long he had had the best of good living, and you know there s nothing like a comfortable stomach to make one feel in high | epirits, Buster had feasted on berries, and now wild grapes would soon be ready. And after the wild grapes would come beachnuts and acorns. Do you wonder that Buster felt in high spirits? And because he was in such high straps, well disposed fullness where such is required, and an absence of it where none is wanted. Some Simple Hints. A few hints may be given today which will assist in their quest of at- tractiveness those who have “more” as well as “less” natural beauty. There is nothing startling or difficult about any of them. They are the im- portant little things that you your- self can do with your own needle and a few moments of spare time. One hint has to do with the under- slips that one buys or makes. A lady who buys hers made up finds in all of them a tendency to too much fullness around the bust when the drawstring is pulled to the necessary tightness. The day of the old-fashioned corset cover which opened up from the front is long passed. Now the general thing is to have fhe top of the slip or chemise of such fullness that it may be pulled over the head and shoulders and the excess material gathered in. Where dresses are plain in cut, as so many are today, the gathers beneath do not improve the “air of delicacy and neat- ness.” Here is the solution found, tried and proved successful. Buttoning in Fullness. Have a button and buttonhole at the top of each side of the slip, under the arms. Instead of allowing the fullness to pucker, fold it over and button it in. This leaves the front as smooth as a fitted waist, and gives a snug, neat back. The button is con- cealed beneath a fold of the goods The “set” of the garment is.quite be- yond improvement if the buttons and buttonholes are fixed in the right po- sition. Shoulder sfraps, it adjusted to a garment made in this style, have much less likelihood of slipping than those in which the fullness is fluctu- ating. Lingerie Clasps. Lingerie clasps in many styles have been devised with varyving degrees of success. The latest fashion in these accessories is a set of clasps connected by a tin ost invisible chain. The clasps are fastened to the straps at the back, near where they join the garment, and the chain is to prevent their separating more than the dis- tance from shoulder to shoulder. French Method. ¥rench coutourieres have a method of incorporating the lingerie holder in the dress itself by a manner that is so simple and effective that we won- der at its not being more generally used in this country. On the under part of the shoulder seam of a dress a double piece of tape or silk binding is sewed. The open end is supplied with snaps. The lingerie straps are slipped inside, the snap closed, and they are caught fast. It is_as eas as slipping a letter in an envelope Wherever the shoulder of the dress moves there also move the straps, but beyond it they cannot go. Thus is the “air of delicacy and neatness” deftly HE WAS JUST IN TIME TO SEE CHATTERER SCAMPER UP A TREE WITH A MUSHROOM IN HIS MOUTH. Y \ spirits he was good-natured. Nbthing bothered him. Not even Chatterer the Red Squirrel could tease him into a show of anger. You know there is no one in all the Green Forest quite so impudent as Chatterer the Red Squirrel, and Chatterer is never more impudent than when he chances to meet Buster Bear. Probably that is because Buster is so big and he is so small that he thinks it is very smart of him to be impudent. Anyway, he always is. Just as soon as those bright eyes of his spy Buster Bear, Chatterer’'s tongue begins to wag, and it is one of those tongues that wags at both ends, as the saying is. It really'is very annoying to Buster sometimes. All the Green Forest within hearing of Chatterer's sharp voice knows just where Buster is, and this isn't always convenient. But on this particular afternoon Buster didn't mind at all how Chatterer shrieked at him or what he said. He just didn't pay any attention to Chatterer. Chat- terer might have been a stick or a stone for all the attention Buster paid him. Now, there is nothing in all the Great World so provoking as to have no attention paid to you when you are doing your best to attract attentlon. Chatterer grew so angry that he danced up and down. Yes, sir, he did so0. He even tried to drop pine cones on Buster's head. And all the time Buster didn’t even so much as glance ut him. At last Chatterer actually tired him- welf out. There wasn't any satisfac- tion in scolding some one or in calling gome one bad names when that some one didn't even so much as glance at him. So after a while Chatterer stopped. Then for a long time he watched Buster Bear. But Buster didn't appear to have anything to do, end presently he laid down for & naj contrived. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS You see, Buster sleeps whenever he feels sleepy. It makes no difference to Buster whether it be night or day. But it makes all the difference in the world to Chatterer. Chatterer is in- doors at night. Yes, indeed, just as soon as the Black Shadows begin to creep through the Green Forest Chat- terer retires. You see, he has no de- sire to make the intimate acquaint- ance of Hooty the Owl. So because he sleeps all night he is very wide awake through the day, and he cannot un- derstand how anybody else can sleep when he himself is so wide awake. So after watching Buster awhile, he whisked away to see what offier mfs- chief he could get into. Now presently he ran across some good mushrooms. My, you should have seen his eyes sparkle when he saw those mushrooms. Chatterer is very fond of mushrooms. Furthermore, Chatterer knows how to take care of mushrooms so he can have them all Winter. As soon as he saw the mush- rooms Chatterer forgot all about mis- chief. He began gathering mushrooms and putting them up in a tree where they would dry and so keep. He for- got all about Buster Bear and every- thing else. Chatterer may be mis- chievous and may spend a great deal of time idling, but when he works he works, There isn’t a lazy bone in that small body of his when there is work really to be dome. Never had he found nicer mush- rooms. He licked his lips after leav- ing each one to dry. He licked his lips and thought of the feasts he would have when the Green Korest was wrapped in snow. By and by Buster Bear awoke. He heard the rustling of small feet. He heard them going back and forth, back and forth. Quietly and without making a sound he got to his own feet and peeked around a tree. He was Jjust in time to see Chattered scamper up. a tree with a mushroom in his mouth. Right away Buster Bear be- came Interested. He became very much interested indeed. (Copyright, 1925.) —_— Spicy Relishes. Spiced Tomatoes: Peel and slice the tomatoes and put them in a preserv- ing kettle with sugar. The proportion for seven pounds of tomatoes is three and one-half pounds of sugar, a quart of white vinegar, and an ounce each of ground mace, cloves and cinnamon. Mix and cook slowly for three hours. Then put in glass jars and seal. Spiced tomatoes make a good sauce for game, especially venison. Plum Catsup: Use one-half a peck of blue plums, one. pint of vinegar, and half as much sugar as fruit, or to taste, Add one-half a tablespoon- ful each of cinnamon, cloves and all- spice. Boil all until tender, strain through a colander, and boil again un- til of the desired consistency, which will be in about two hours. Chopped Pickle: Chop fine -one peck of green tomatoes, six green peppers and elght onions. 'Put on salt'and let stand all night. Drain in the morn- ing. Add one cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful each of cloves, cinnamon and allspice, and vinegar enough to make a little thin. Boil three hours. Put the spices in a muslin bag to keep the color of the pickle bright green. —— el Nearly 3,000 men were employed in making the 21,000,000 incandencent Jamps turned out in Austria last year.

Little Miss Muffet ran home from school and tore into the house, much as little boys and girls of the present day do. “Mother!

Well, 1 didn't either, but it must have been, because that is what her mother called her, and mothers usually know. “You know,” continued Mrs. Muffet, “it isn't good for little boys and girls to eat between meals.” “But I'm so hungry, mother,” plead- ed Mollie. “Honest, 1 believe I am starving.

Tomorrow’s planetary aspects will be a continuation and a betterment of the benign influences that will be ex- perienced tonight. They are not only benign tomorrow; they are distinctly favorable, and the vibrations are ex- ceedingly stimulating. You will do well to give a hearty response to the urge that you will, undoubtedly, feel to let your energies have full swing, and to plan and work as only is possi- ble under such auspicious conditions. What you have hitherto failed to ac complish, as a result of timidity, will appear easy, as you will have courage. The emotions will be stirred to an un- usual degree, and love will in all prob- abllity awaken responsiveness. At all events, any engagements entered into tomorrow will produce only happiness. Children born tomorrow are, accord- ing to the signs, destined to suffer from many ailments during infancy, but this, with proper alimentation, will not preclude their attalning: '3 vigorous and healthy majority. In character and disposition they will, regardless of sex, be clean cut, fear- less, and what is best described as “wholesome.” They will be critical of everything and everybody that does not ring true, and at all times enemies of hypocrisy or insincerity. They promise to be very downright, and, at times, extreme. When time, however, is given them for reflection they will always have the courage, if it be nec- essary, to change their opinions. If tomorrow is your birthday, you love to assume leadership, and always strive to make yourself the center of attraction. You sometimes go to ex- tremes in order to reach this end, and thereby make yourself - ridiculous. Nature has not endowed you with in- fallibility, and vou ofen forget that other people have as great an intelli gence as your own. Your judgment is not reliable, and you often rush into undertakings with- out visualizing the outcome. Your wish is often the father of your thought. In spite of these defects, you possess a great fund of mag- netism, and you are capable of devel- oping considerable psychic power. In your private life you are sym- pathetic, loving and kind, and your generous impulses do you credit. ‘Well known persons born on this date are: Maurice Thompson, author; Elliott Coues, scientist; Joseph Leidy, physiclan and naturalist; Willlam Cranch Bond, = astronomer; Lord, financier and author; Riker, lawyer and politician.

Take onehalf a cupful of scalded milk, one yeast cake, one-half a cupful of tepid water, one table- spoonful of sugar, three cupfuls of bread flour, two tablespoontuls of lard or butter, and one-balf a teaspoonful of salt. Add the shortening to the milk and let cool until lukewarm, Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water, combine the mixtures, beat in half of the flour, whipping until very smooth, then add the balance and the salt. Knead thoroughly. Roll one- fourth inch thick, brush lightly with melted butter, shape with a biscuit cutter, crease, then fold over in pocket-shape. Set to rise in a warm } place for about two hours, then bake for 15 minutes in a moderate oven. This makes two dozen small rolls. Our Children—By Angelo Patri The First Day. The first school day in September is an occasion of national importance. No other day is so religiously ob- served throughout the country, save perhaps Christmas and Thanksgiving, and none other is truly as far-reach- ing in its results. The youth of the Nation is set in motion toward a far-* off goal. Iach parent and teacher and child sets out with high heart and bright vision. This day is the begin- ning of the host of happy days to come. If only the bloom would not so soon vanish. Perhaps we could keep it a bit longer if we made & stronger start Get the child ready in body and mind. Begin the week ahead and buy his clothes. It is right that he should start the school term with bright, fresh clothing. THe color of the rib- bon or the stockings or the tie is very important to the child. Send him off with a satisfied thought as he sur- veys himself in the mirror before making his bow to the teacher. If he thinks he looks just right he is likely to match that with feeling all right and doing all right I would not dress a child in clothes he has carefully kept for church at- tendance if 1 could help it. Clothes have such a power to catch and hold associations, and church and other formal ceremonies have a different mood from the one best suited to school. School needs the bright, quick, eager, inquiring mood that dri e s e e and pry and be glad all over. Stiff, creaky shoes and starch about the neck and tightness about the middle will spoil the best first day that ever was planned. Buy the school that clothes with idea in mind. Make them loose and light and easy and colorful and cheap. That can be done in these days of clever garment making. Children's clothes were never so pretty and never so cheap as they are now. I stress their cheapness because the child must not be impressed with the responsibility of keeping them perfect. It is in bad tastelo use a fine gar- ment roughly. One of the first char- acteristics of well bred children is that they have a fine sense of fitness and an expeggive, intrinsically lovely dress _cannot be worn to school fit- tingly. Then do not do this injustice to the children. Dress them fittingly. Make sure that all the necessary strings and buttons and snaps are exactly where they ought to be and in good working order. Test the gar- ters yourself, for nothing causes such havoe in nerves and muscles as a threatening garter. Be sure that teeth are in good condition and that the digestive apparatus is in harmony. Gather up books and papers that will he needed, so that they will be in plain sight and within easy reach the critical morning. No hurry, no flurry must precede the start. Be wise enough to allow the chil- dren to break in any new shoes. A few hours a day or so in succession will make them comfortable, and what joy to start on this journey wearing comfortable shoes. This day is very important. Put such push and power behind it that its spirit will carry far over into the year. 2 Mr. Patri will give personal attention 0 inquiries from parents or school teach- ers ou the care and development of chil- dren.

A small movable bookcase like the well proportioned one shown is often to be preferred, for these reasons. It evidently sanctions the idea that books are to be lived with and must not be caged behind glass doors. In- deed, it does make them seem more companionable to be where one has merely to reach out his hand to take them up.

UMMERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE ‘Water Hemlock. Have you noticed the lovely white blossoms of the water hemlock bloom in the marshes and swa the Anacostia River these day case you do not know that curious plant when you see it, do not go look- ing for hemiock trees, for it is only a humble herb, but the lessons it has to teach make it worth watching for while it blooms. The water hemlock 1s a relative of Queen Anne’s lace, with a flat-topped spray of white blossoms and a thick but hollow stem. In the axils of the leaves you may sometimes find curi- ous little bulblets like fruits, yet they | are not fruits in the true meaning of the word, for they did not form from a flower, nor do they contain any seeds. They are more closely akin to buds, buds that never open, but, like seeds, they drop to the mud when ripe and are capable of starting a whole new plant. Besides the bulb- lnts, the water hemlock reproduces by real seeds and spreads by a creeping, sprouting root under the water. With these three ways of reproducing, it is no wonder that its tribe has in- creased. The root of the water hemlock gives the lie to its innocent white blossoms, for it is violenfly poisonous. A man who tasted it told me it hed a pleas- ant flavor, and every year people are killed by eating it. Foreigners work- ing along railway tracks see it grow- ing in ditches and mistake it for an old-world turnip or parsnip. A re- lated plant of Europe is the true hem- lock, by which criminals were put to death in ancient times. A cup of hem- lock juice was sent to Socrates when the State of Athens decreed that he must die; and of hemlock did the great Hannibal drink, preferring suicide to pture by his enemy, relentless Rome.
