The edges of the material may be rolled or fin- Tow hem. ‘The material was slit down the cen- ter for 15 of the 30 inches, the ends of | the slit section joined in a narrow | French seam. The unslit section was | then gathered down the center and the | slit pieces gathered along the edges. ‘This is the sort of frill that is used on many of the new blousettes. but in this case it was finished with a narrow band at the neck and was basted directly to | the dress, from which it can easfly be removed when needing to be laundered.

And she was as much attached to her garden as was her Uncle Peter. It was this fondness for growing things | which brought her into contact with oison She saw the pretty, glossy ves and rushed over to pick She even attempted to pull up | the plant by the roots, thinking that she ‘could transplant it in her own | garden. It was unfortunate, for she happened to be a person who is poisoned by the poison ivy. And because her aunt did not know what Joan had done the skin was badly affected before Aunt Nancy could do anything, That evening Aunt Nancy sponged the irritated surface carefully with lukewarm water to which witch hazel had been added. Then she put on a dusting powder. As she softly touched the itching and burning hands she told Joan that any ivy which has its leaves growing in clusters of three and not five is always to be avoided. Poison ivy flaunts its three leaves to the knowing person, and these three leaves are a warning signal. Had Aunt Nancy been able to treat the skin before it became inflamed and itching she would have used mild soap and water and then brushed the skin with alcohol. If this is done promptly there is little chance of irritation. But once the skin is inflamed it is wise (o omit the soap and alcohol treatment. oo, sandwich lorset how her of wood d.

Y. 13 3o Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Budget Percentages. | Scarcely an inquiry about a budget fails to ask whether this or that amount | §s sufficlent or excessive. Sometimes the inquiry states the total income of the family and sometimes it does not. It is fairly well recognized now that the only basis on which one can judge how well income is apportioned for the various needs of a family is percentage. That is, it doesn’t matter so much whether $50 is spent each month for rent as it does that $50 may be spared for rent. There is only one way to de- | cide about that, and that way is to consider whether the amount spent for | rent 18 in proportion with the amounts | spent for other necessaries. | We dislike to cite any model budget | plan, because our needs vary, and in| the past women whose needs haven't coincided with the plan's arrangements have been discouraged. | For example, a model plan—not an ideal or perfect one, mind you—might be as follows: A fifth of the income | for rent, a fourth for food. between a sixth and seventh for clothing, another | fifth for operating expenses, & tenth for | advancement and another tenth for savings. THURSDAY, JUNE 12, | together with a well beaten egg and|ing water in which a bouillon cube has In percentage that would be: Rent,| 20 per cent: food, 25 per cent; clothin 15 per cent: operating expenses, 20 per cent; advancement, 10 per cent, and savings, 10 per cent. You might find, however, that rent will cost you more and food a trifle less. This plan is best for incomes of about $1,800 to $2,300. As the income grows, less will be needed in percentage for food and les perhaps for operating expenses. Sa ings may be increased and advancement also, The important point, however, is to know what things are costing you pro- portionately and to keep them in the proper proportion in your own scheme of living. Spend at all times so that you get the most out of your income and life, and spend so that you will not want. Figure out your own per- centages and see where you stand. Veal Loaf.
