If you have recently whiled away any of your precious time at fashion shows where mannequins display. the season’s newest frocks and wraps, you may have been impressed, as so many other women have been of late, by the fact that mannequins are walking so much more rapidly than they used to. Even the amateur mannequins who lend their services to benefit fashion shows have caught this new speed from the professionals. The old-time lan- guid gait has disappeared, and brides- maids and brides seem to hasten their paces as they walk toward the altar to the quickened strains of the wedding march, ‘The reason for this, I am told, is that the new “fluid line” in clothes with airy draperies of chiffon and georgette and tulle really demand this more rapid stride. Drapery nowadays must flutter, not hang languidly and limply. This week’s circular I am sure you will find helpful, because it tells how to make fringe, and when you compare the price of made fringe and silk needed to make it I am sure you will like to know how to make it. With this is a sketch of a new fringed skirt, with fringe hanging from a deep hip yoke, end di- rections for making this, as well as the fringe.

This often “causes confusion, for frequently the room they demand is already occupied by Some one. We cannot move the occupant to another room and have to do the best we can to provide a room similar to the one they desire. The younger people do not seem to be 5o particular. Any room is all right with them, just so iong as it has all the conveniences.” * K ok % A reader says that the oldest man he ever heard of lived to be 143 years old and resided in North Carolina.

At the top of the left side is a large cushion for pins and needles, and it might also serve to catch material too when there is need for stretching while sewing. Below this is a little leaf which drops down and forms a tiny table for the | scissors, spools, etc., being used, and for cutting out small pleces of material, ribbon and lace. At the bottom of the left and right sides are troughs for mending, and the three racks on the right provide space for all the spools any one could ever for 3 Words often misused: “This is a|; picture of Anne” means it is Anne’s likeness. “This is & picture of Anne’s means that the picture belongs to Anne.

No one, I suppose, whoe ever went a-wildflowering in earliest Spring, could Tesist- the lure of picking little wind- flowers. They 2re so dainty on the threadform stems, so much the Spring itself incarnate, that it is incredible that they would not bring the breath of Spring into the house. And yet, at home, no vase is so small that it will fit them, and finally, in despair, you scatter them on a bowl of water, where swiftly they grow water-logged and sad. And next year you will leave them where you found them, there to bloom, sprites that refuse capitivity. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN.
