Usually no interlining is necessary, but when the material is very thin you may use an interlining of the size | of the finished belt.

Usually the belt is finished with a | buckle at the straight edge and eyelets finished with buttonhole stitch at the other.

As for a ladies’ maid, they | are & help and save one any amount of | time, but they are not much good for beauty treatments. For clothes, yes, they make underwear, copy frocks in | different materials, keep gloves washed and stockings mended and everything | nicely cledned and pressed—but this | merely means a woman looks well | groomed and has nothing to do with personal beauty. It is an advantage to have money; you can buy the best of everything and | all sorts of cosmetics which are sup- posed to do the skin good. But if you are poor, you can make plenty of these at home yourself; and a few e lotions are just as good in the | end!

This also you can do yourself, Otherwise the dally cleansing and some quick special thing like cream around the eyes or an ice rub are all you need. M. R. D, Miss C. 8, Mrs. J. C— | Try witch hazel as a mild astringent several times a week to help contract the large pores on your face. For the oily condition, give your skin plenty of very cold water as a rinse after you bhave bathed or cleansed your skin in any way whatever. An ice rub once a day is very stimulating, bringing the blood to the skin, which should help restore healthy action again. Your skin may have taken up this condition be- cause of digestive troubles, so it is necessary to keep the system in order when expecting an improvement. Lines in the skin of a very young woman like yourself will disappear just as soon as the action of the skin is | improved, so the cold water, the ice rubs and general care of your health will positively bring this about if you follow it Il; day after day.

Today in Washington History | BY DONALD A. CRAIG. August 21, 1800—An open-air concert was given here this evening by the United States Marine Band at the Ma- rine headquarters recently established on high ground that has been selected for the ultimate erection of buildings for a National University, in_accordance with the ideas of George Washington. The location is on E street between Twenty-third and Twenty-fifth streets northwest. ‘This is the first time that the Ma- rines have given a public open-air con- cert in the new Federal City. These concerts, it is understood, are to be a regular weekly feature of life in Wash- ington during the Summer seasons from this time on. The headquarters of the Marine Corps are being moved to this eity along with the other agencies of the Federal Gov- ernment this year. By the end of the | year it is expected that all branches of | the Government will be established in the new Federal City. Col. W. W. Burrows, first comman- dant of the Marine Corps, named after the reorganization of the Marines under the act of July 11, 1798, accompanied the outfit from Philadelphia. At first the quarters were in Georgetown. Re- cently the men moved to tents on E street, where the concert was given today. Permanent headquarters for the Marine Corps are to be erected, ac- cording to the present plans, on Eighth | street southeast, not far from the Wash- ington Navy Yard. Many prominent persons attended the concert today. One of them was Mrs. Thornton, wife of Dr. Willlam Thorn- ton, author of the accepted plan_for the United States Capitol. Mrs. Thornton was so impressed with the concert that she referred to it in her diary today, mentioning_ that she and her mother “went to the Hill to hear the band, which was playing at the tents which are fixed on the ground intended | for_an university.” When the Marine headquarters were first moved here Col. Burrows was cor- | dially welcomed by every one in the new city. Mrs. Thornton was one of those who called upon him to extend a wel- come. Col. Burrows has found that living in tents in Washington during the Sum- mer months is anything but pleasant, on account of the heat. ‘This month, particularly, the temperature has been very high under the canvas, The first weeping willow in England was planted by Pope, the es:ayist and poet (1688-1744). He received a pres- ent of figs from Turkey, and, observing a twig in a basket ready to bud, plant- ed it in his garden. Soon it became a fine tree. All the weeping willows in England and America originated fre this stock. | ¥ THE EVENIN( LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

In fact, he looked at me in the most deflant way, as much as to say its his tooth and he'il run it as he pleases. I dont mind a little judicious will pow= er in a baby, but this is beginning to smack of malicious obstinacy. There'’s no doubt in my mind that the tooth itself is doing everything in its power to brake through, but the baby is delibritly repressing it.

STAR, WASHINGTON, C'Aeffy red Aiffon drerr &r not so rimple ar i appearr at furt glance. Che top tier tier in bak, BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Even in August there comes an occa- sional cool day. On those days the first. Fall suits make their appearance. Nancy studied one which was worn by the girl walking just ahead of her &t the Country Club. The suit was, and naturally enough. a three-piece one. The material was knitted and resembled tweed, a fine tweed in quite somber colors. ‘The sweater was a slip-over, worn under the skirt which came up to the normal waist line. This line was em- phasized by the belt. This was made of the same material as the suit. The jacket gave something of the cape feeling, although there was no cape attached. This effect was gained by the way in which sleeves were set in and the depth of the yoke in both front and back. ‘With this suit the girl was wearing slip-on gloves in washable pigskin in white. Her shoes were brogues and her stockings were fine lisle in plain color. “I'll Sue You.” This lady's story may not parallel any experience of your own, but it is probable that, like her, you once said to some one, “I'l sue you."” Like her, you may have been unable to get your due in any other way. Forced by the dint of circumstances to sell her household effects, this lady resorted to an auction sale. Her ar- rangements were rather hazy, and when the proceeds of the sale were presented to her they were minus & deduction of $67.50 for some items which she asked to_have removed from the sale. ‘The auctioneer claimed that she had to all intents and purposes bid them in.

Upon consulting her lawyer she found | out that suing folks is not as simple as ore might suppose. In the first place, it | weould cost her $67.50 to recover a like sum.

Thirdly, her funds would be tied up meanwhile with a man of questionable responsi- bility. “Well," asperation, marked the woman with ex- ‘'of what earthly use are law- A Sermon for Today »Y II.;.—IOIN R.

Just as it is recognized today that pre- ventive medicine is more vital to us than curative medicine, so is recourse to legal counsel before and not after worth immeasurably more. Lawsuits may be almost entirely avoided by safeguarding one’s legal rights beforehand and by dealing only with responsible people. To sue is not always to collect, and to sue costs money, regardless. My Neighbor Says: If your couch hammock looks shabby, buy inexpensive cretonne and cover the hammock inside and out. Take the ropes out of the corners, also those at the ends. Where the eyelets come cut & hole in the cretonne and sew close to the eyelets or button holes over the eyelets. If your rubber hot-water bottle leaks do not have it mended.

It corrects olly skin in the same easy way that milk of magnesia purifies the stomach. Cremed magnesia rejuvenates the complexion so quickly that any face looks years younger in five minutes. It changes oid-looking, poor-color skir to youthful clearness and fades out freckles better than a bushel of lemons. It's astringent; it reduces enlarged pores to the finest texture and smooths out the tell-tale lines of age. It removes make-up better than soap or cleansing cream.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Excessively 0Oily Hair. Dear Miss Leeds: My hair is getting to have more oil every day and also every time I comb it combfuls of it come out. At the rate I am losing it I don't know what will happen. When my hair was bobbed it wasn't 80 oily and didn't fall out as much. But since I've let it grow (it's past my shoulders now) it has become worse. I'd hate to bob it now, for right now after washing it surely is beautiful, but in a couple of days 1t loses its luster and it seems to get darker as the oil shows up. I have taken hot oil treatments and also used a mange cure, but neither one helped. You can imagine how I feel now. I am 20 years of age and in a healthy condition. Mrs. M. K. Answer—Hair which is in the con- dition of yours will have to be given some very definite and systematic care for months before it will be greatly im- proved. The trouble calls for the use of an astringent tonic as well as fre- quent washing and regular massage and brushing. I wonder if the reason it was in better condition when bobbed might not be because the air could get to the scalp easier then. You need not bob it again unless you wish, but be sure to brush the hair for at least 15 minutes daily and use forward, upward 80 that the air may get to the Before the shampoo apply s litdle astringent tonic and massage the scalp. Shampoo, rinse thoroughly and use the tonic again.
