OMEN’S FEATURES, New Use for Fagoting BY MARY MARSHALL. HERE is an effect of sheerness about most of the new dresses for Spring. This does not apply merely to the dresses of chif- fon and other transparent ma- terials, although all sorts of sheer and semi-sheer materials will be used extensively. Dresses made of crepe or eatin also have a sheer touch which 1s achieved in a variety of ways. Some- times there is a lace or georgette yoke. Sleeves may be of the same sheer ma- terial from wrists to elbows. Some times there are panels or inserts of net, and sometimes the light touch is achieved by fagotting. This is always & favorite trimming device of French fagotting shows a light line of the arms and neck. In some of the new dresses fagotting appears on a jacket or bolero in such a way that the narrow line of openwork shows the contrasting. color of the dress beneath. Thus a little jacket of brown crepe de chine may show the golden yellow color of the dress beneath or a navy blue jacket may show the lighter tones of a figured print over which it is worn. ‘The detail shows how to work some the of the fagotting stitches. The first at the left is the simplest. Baste the edges of the material to be fagotted on a stiff paper at the proper distance from each other. Bring the needle out of one edge, carry it diagonally across and forward to the other edge, put it in, bring it back an eighth of an inch or less on the same side, pull it out, wrap the free thread once arcund the thread already in place, carry the nee- dle diagonally across and forward to the first edge, and repeat. ‘The second stitch is laddering. Two threads are placed, parallel to each other, across the opening, and then coarsely button-holed across. ‘The third stitch is simple and effec- tive. Two parallel stitches are taken dressmakers, and it is especlally smart at the present time. The dress shown in the sketch shows 8 new way of using fagotting. The V neckline has a line of fagotting an inch or more from the edge and the slightly flaring short sleeves are made of bands of the material fagotted to- gether—six lines of fagotting on each sleeve.

BURGLSS. Robber Has a Shock. Ths,rise fo luck will never trust less ey must. e OBBER THE RAT. OBBER THE RAT, old, gray and wise, with the cunning of long experience, had discovered what had become of the Rats who had disappeared so mys- terfously. At least, he had discovered the cause of those disappearances. He knew that they had been caught by one of the enemies he feared most, an Owl. The worst of it was that Owl was actually inside Farmer Brown's barn, where Robber and his tribe had so long done about as they pleased. He called together all the Robbers, old and young, and told them what he had seen and warned them of the great danger they were in if they were careless or too_bold. “You all know,” said he, “that Owls are among our most dangerous enemies, for they hunt in the night at the very time we like best to be out and about, they fly without making a sound and Rats and Mice are their favorite food. There is an Owl in this barn. How he happens to be here I don't know. Only once before have I known of such a thing. That was when Spooky the Screech Owl took shelter in here for a short time, and he was more inter ested in Mice than in us, for Spooky is a little fellow. The Owl I saw today is a big fellow. It wasn't Hooty the Great Horned Owl. I don't know what member of the family it was, but that doesn't matter. As long as that fellow is in this barn you will each one of you have to watch your step. Prob- ably he will not stay long. If you keep out of his sight he will decide that the hunting isn't good here and move on. “Now that we know who our enemy is we will know who to watch for and that is a help. There is nothing we can do about it but to be careful and be patient. The safest time to move about will be in broad daylight, for Owls sleep through the day.” “Don’t you think it would be better for us to leave and find another home?” asked a timid young Rat. “Where would you have us go?” de- manded Robber. “I don't know," young Rat. “I didn't confessed the timid think you did.” > = replied “DON'T YOU THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR US TO LEAVE AND FIND ANOTHER HOME?" ASKED A TIMID YOUNG RAT. Robber, drily. “To leave without know- ing where we ‘were going would be trusting to luck. Never trust to luck until you are forced to. The first thing to do is find out what we can about this Owl, which one of the family he is, where he perches, what time he goes out hunting and when he usually re- turns " “But if he does his hunting inside, what good will that do?" asked another young Rat. “I don't believe he does his hunting Inside,” replied Robber. “He probably happened to see that Mouse and dropped on him. Just take care that he doesn't have a chance to see any of you. This barn is too fine a place and the living is too good to leave unless we must. I don't intend to give it up for just one Owl. All we need do is to be smarter than he is.” So all the Rats promised to be care- ful and to report anything they might discover. Robber, being old and wise, with long experience in avoiding dan- ger, had no fear for himself. He felt that he was too smart and cunning to be caught. He knew every hole and cranny and hiding place in that barn and how to move about without once showing himself. So the first chance he got to go by himself he climbed up into the haymow to see if he could find out more about this dreaded enemy. He was very careful to keep under cover. He worked his way up the timbers behind the hay until he was well up woward the roof. There he remained, looking and listening. He heard some strange sounds that seemed to come from what looked like a great box on the rafters above him. Then he saw a big, shadowy bird fly across to the gable window from which a pane was missing and disappear outside. “So that is tue way he gets in and out,” thought Robber. A moment later he received one of the worst shocks of his life. There was another shadowy {:’m‘m standing on the edge of that great x! ‘Two of them!" exclaimed Robber under his breath.

L 'MODES ——— 7 //// W To the Girl About to Marry [ DorothyDix N reality, every woman needs the wisdom of a Solomon, the experience of & Methuselah, the patience of a Job and the diplomacy of a Talley- rand to enable her to make a success of marriage. there are 10 specific things that every girl should know before marriage. OF THE MOMENT | Lists Five of Ten Points to Consider But, in particular, She should know her own mind and heart. The most important thing in marriage for a woman is to be head over heels in love with her husband. It doesn't matter much what kind of man he is. The thing of importance is that she has the one she wants and who suits her taste. SHE should decide whether she is cut out for marriage or not. Not every woman has a talent for matrimony, any more than every woman has a talent for sewing or keeping books or acting. There are women who are wretched as wives and make their husbands miserable. She should know what marriage really is. Most girls think of mar- riage as a big wedding, with more pretty clothes than they ever had before and presents and the spotlight turned on them for a brief period and then passing into a sort of Elysium in which enamored bridegrooms will hold their hands and croon love songs to them for years and years. So it is of the utmost importance that a girl should know before marriage that it takes the courage of a hero and the self-abnegation of a saint, but that it is gloriously worth while if she puts her heart in it. late. 3 something else, which is an arduous, study of mankind is man. HE should know what she wants in a husband. they are married to decide this important point. and then it is too Or they marTy a man for one thing and expect to change him into Most girls wait until not to say impossible, undertaking. She should know something about men. The poet said that the proper Certainly it is a branch of learning in which women should major, because a woman's happiness and success in marriage depend upon her understanding her husband.

Nancy’s were not much better. But their young son seemed to have escaped, at least to some degree. Probably this was due to the fact that Nancy realized the baby's teeth were started for geod or bad, long before the child was born. She had been careful to eat green vegetables, drink milk and in other ways supply herself with cal- cium and vitamins for months before Peter arrived. Then when Peter was just a baby she had wiped out his mouth, even into | the farthest, darkest corner with a soft cloth dipped in a mild salt solution At about 18 months of age he had his first tooth brush, a soft, narrow one with two rows of bristles. He had been taught to use the tooth brush in elevator fashion, rubbing it up and down and not crosswise. | His_dentifrice had been a half tea- spoonful of salt in a glass of warm wa-| ter. At 215 years of age he made his flrstl trip to the dentist. Fortunately Nlncy‘ had never let him hear startling tales | about the hurts which come in the ‘ dentist’s chair. Peter went to the office | with the belief he was going to meet a friend, and meeting friends is not a dreaded procedure. Peter was not told to be brave and not in any way did he | draw the inference that pain was to be inflicted. On the other hand he was not assured that the dentist would not | hurt him. The visit and its happenings were treated as a matter of course. | GREASY POTS SAVES Wise women this quick, MY GOODNESS, GO! DISHWASHING IS MUCH EASIER THIS WAY Parrot Disease Feared.
