A yard and a quarter of soft frilling By the yard about six inches in depth will make one of the most becoming cf cuff sets for a simple round neckline. The strips of the fril. in length and the remaining 25 inches are used for the collar. The pieces for the cuffs are seamed up so that they flare slightly.

Tintex Blue Box—For lace-trimmed comes at the back of the neck. When frilling is turned down over the dress it rolls a trifle at back and sides and falls in soft folds at the front. The frilling chosen consists of a bias strip of silk voile or chiffon about four inches wide with a double ruffie of two inches at the edge. Circular frilling may also be used to give a beccming finish to the round- neck dress. This may be of pleated chiffon or of lace. The piece used for the collar should be eased in a little at the front of the neck so that it will not draw. The cuffs will flare slightly on account cf the circular cut of the ma- terial, but any excessive flaring may be taken care of by tacking the frilling down to the sleeve here and there. Frilling may be used as effectively on short-sleeved dresses as on long-sleeved ones and may be used to outline V necklines as well as round ones. To be prepared for any emergency in the way of an unexpected invitation for lunch- eon or brigge, you should have on hand several lengths of frilling with which you can give a fresh touch to one of your Spring dresses. THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE No wonder Dame Fashion has taken | so kindly to this new cape collar. This neat molded-to-the-dress collar keeps in place better, and is generally becom- ing. It offers splendid theme for the use of a contrasting color or fabric. ‘Today's model is an emerald green plaid flat crepe silk with white crepe. ‘The new plaited skirt effect is de- cidedly smart. The pointed seaming narrows the hipline. Style No. 3055 may be had in sizes 14, AL 16, 18, 20 years, 36 and 38 inches bust. In plaided gingham pique will be nice for the collar.

For Thirst ... any time, anywhere THE EVENING SPRINGTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. ‘The trilling of the frogs in the over- flowing marshes is music, or it is mere- ly & noise, as you choose to think. When it is something that could go by the name of trilling it has to me & most_persuasive and nostalgic sweet- ness. Inevitably it calls back to the Tilinois marshes of my childhood and the season when I hunted shoot- ing stars on the prairies and came home with wet feet, late for my sup- r and dead-tired, but wondrously appy, with my head still full of the sunset colors, the prairie breeze and the cry of the meadow larks. To every one it is a characteristic sound of Spring that recalls some happy recollection out of the past. One cannot hear the trilling of frogs with- out_experiencing emotion. To mr cltygdwcller. homesick for his lights and sights and sounds, the cry of the frogs through the country twilights is a lonesome sound, making him realize the utter strangeness and hostility of nature. I have spoken so far of the trilling song. 1 draw a veil of charity over the psychical effects of the booming of bullfrogs in the hot months. In “A Tale of Two Cities” Dickens, if I remember rightly, says that the French noblemen had the peasants beat the marshes all night to keep the frogs still so that they could sleep. This may have been a cause for the revo- lution, but I would have been grateful for a few peasants to beat the marshes during the Summer nights that I slept at Versallles. American frogs never secem quite so bad, though I have ex- perienced times in the Summer, in the Carolinas when I saw the reason for copperheads—it was to eat the surplus frogs. A plague of frogs was sent against Pharaoh and never did Egypt endure a worse curse. If the evolutionists have the matter straight, then long before any birds had been created, before even there were snakes, lizards, alligators, tor- tolses, the frogs appeared upon this obe. They must have made the only usic, except for the stridulations of insects, heard in the old forests of | tree-ferns. we listen to the that millions of years ago, schanged and subtly melancholy. Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. And still today e strange croaking ecstasy Garden Furniture. Comes a time every Spring or Sum- mer when every householder realizes that it is time to get out the garden or porch furniture. The time seems to come suddenly. thought of such a thing, but today the sun shines so warm and bright that you wonder how you have put it off thus far. It does seem a pity that it hasn't been attended to before—today you'd like to sit outdoors and enjoy the sunshine and the springy aspect of things. Instead you must poke about in cellar or attic, looking for what re- mains of last year's supply of outdoo things. You remember it was put away on a chilly, depressing day last Autumn, and how drab and cheerless the furniture looked then. Doubtless it is covered with dust and needs some sort of re- pair. somewhere in the garden or on a ver- anda and have it well scrubbed. Some people just play the hose over all the pleces, whether they are plain basket- pleces or painted and enameled. If you do this, then be sure to dry off the painted and enameled pieces before the water has a chance to mar the surface. Some people use a smallish scrubbing brush dipped in warm water. Another brush dipped in a little water and salt is applied next and then the furniture is well rinsed. If you want your garden furniture to take on a really charming appearance just take time to enamel it. To do this you will need two paint brushes One large one for the large surfaces and another small brush to do the small parts and cracks. Bright colors may be chosen. There are charming shades of blue or even red. Green is attractive but does not look so well where the furniture is going to be used against a background of trees and grass. The greens never match and usually clash. Gray or a soft brown enamel gives a good effect and I have seen charming white garden furniture trimmed with black or red. —— ‘The Persian Gulf and the Red Sea | are to be connected by an auto road. boomed through those marshes | a sound un- | Yesterday you had not | But get it all out, arrange it| STAR, WASHINGTON, Hotel Housekeepers.

She told me she liked it very much. I found later that she was respected, a little feared, but really liked by the girls who worked for her. “Do the room malds ever become hotel housekeepers?” “Sometimes they do. They used to often. But with these great big hotels it takes a special training.” It also takes an immense amount of tact, a head for figures, and the ability to_handle people. The tendency of this country is to have more and more hotels, and less and less private homes, There are go- ing to be more jobs for hotel housekeep- ers and for trained people of all kinds in _hotels. If you're a good executive, if you have a strong personality, if you don’t mind trouble, rows, complaints, and if you like being among people, it will be a good thing for you to take a course in hotel housekeeping. But be sure to take it at a good hotel, where the train- ing will be of use to you.

Here is a tonic-beverage blended by Nature from sun- shine and dew in the highlands of upper New York state. As a drink alone it delights the most jaded appetite. But in addition to delicious taste are those nourishing mineral salts, neutralizing acids and fruit proteins which stay hunger and build bodily vigor. Make a month’s test, then check results. Use Welch's as the fruit course at breakfast, luncheon and dinner. Drink it between meals for thirst and for quick energy at “fatigue-time.” You will find that this pure fruit juice promotes functional activities which will bring your weight up or down to normal. Muddy complexions grow rosy and clear, Dull eyes take on a youthful sparkle. In Europe they call this “the grape cure.” A supply of Welch’s always in your pantry is the most convenient form of health insurance, If one-third to one- half water is added, as many prefer, no other fruit is so economical. Make grape juice a family habit the year around, but insist on Welch’s. Only then can you be certain that every step from the picking of the crop at its ripe best to the final sealing of the bottles is Jabora- tory controlled. “Drink a Bunch Write for “The Welch Way to Health Control and Recipe Book.” Address, Welch's, Dept.
