WOMAN'S PAGE. Inexpensive Summer Trimming BY MARY MARSHALL, A reader asks for some suggestions about inexpensive ways of trimming Summer dresses, and it is a question that s not difficult to answer this sea- son, because no matter how simple a dress may be, it almost always has some sort of decoration added by way of trimming. Buttons are frequently used. A num- ber of the new dresses of the sports type have them arranged down the - | without some chance of shrinkage. front closing of the blouse, sometimes extending down the hip yoke as well. ‘There may be 12 small buttons to match the dress. White buttons are sometimes used on a dark dress that 1s finished with white collars and cuffs. Sash girdles with ends arranged at the left side are gaining favor. The sash extends nearly to the knees and is usually knotted at the belt line with one end a little longer than the other. A navy blue silk has a sash of the navy blue silk edged with bands of bright blue, yellow and red silk, which also forms bands midway between shoul- ders and elbows of the sleeves. A small m"d print dress has a sash of black , with pipings of the black silk at the neck and wrists. ‘There are all sorts of so-called self- trimmings that the home dressmak these are of knife pleating, with the pleats pressed out along the hem so as %o give a rippling, frilly effect. sketch today shows & new sort of trimming that looks like but which really. consists of material. It is cut Into strips about 4 inches wide and then seamed up, turn- ed right side out and pressed to make double strips of the material, and is then cut into pieces 3 or 4 inches long, which are folded over and applied as a frill to the edge of the’ collar or else- where on the dress. The sketch shows how this interesting sort of trimming s made—and one advant2ge worth noting is that it will go through the washing and ironing process and come up smiling.

The best plan would be to clean them in gasoline. You should do this outdoors on a clear day. Use two pails of gasoline. Dip them first in one and then in the second to rinse. Your paint dealer will probably be able to supply you with good cleaning gasoline. “Every year when warm weather comes we are visited with ants, and this year I am determined to keep them out to start with. Last year they came without any warning. _One day there re none and when I went int> the chen the next morning there were droves of them. Can you tell me of something that I can sprinkle in the cracks of the floor to prevent them?"— Mrs. J. T. ‘There are several prepared insect powders that are helpful in some cases.

One of the best private hospitals, in a district of good substantial vill and country people who do not regard medical or surgical services as some- | fy thing due them from community or the State, has an arrangement whereby 20 per cent of all fees pa'd For the benefit of those who do not know what a family physician is We | may explain that he is the doctor who attends the patient before, during and after the operation or hospital or sana- torium sojourn. This 20 per cent divi- sion of the fee s no secret split. It is clearly understood by every onie who enters the hospital: indeed it is plainly figured in the biil presented to the patient for services rendered. Now and then some patient, even after a -cholecystectomy, asks the tending physician or the general pr. titioner who sends him to the hospital | or cares for him after his return home to refund the d 20 ner cent share or at least to divvy with him, but even if the doctor is spineless enough to give up, the hospital does not care— | evi patient pays the 20 per cent and the doctor receives it before the hos- pital bill is receipted. turned | | | Here is a tion I offer for the settlement of two vexing problems of modern medicine, namely, the question age | of what to do with the general prac- titioner or family doctor, in the present renzy for real and spurious specialism; and the question of a fair division of medical, surgical or special fees among the doctors who earn them. I suggest that in any case where an operation becomes necessary or advis- | able, or in any case where the phy- sician refers the patient to s specialist for an operation or for. any. special treatment, the fees. should be divided fifty-fifty between surgeon or specialist and family physician. Noth- ing is this arrangement either the alist or the general practitioner ving back to the patient,if he so desires, part or all of his share. In view of the practice of cashing in on popular notions about the su- perior knowledge or skill of the special- ist as compared with the ‘“opdinary doctor,” I submit that this proposal is one which real specialists cannot | gracefully reject, and the other kind | do_not matter.
