They went out to Lake Hollingsworth and amid the beautitul surroundings of that lovely lake, on the place owned by Pickard I Bros. & Selsemeyer, they spread a bounteons dinner, to which all did ample justice, The weather was not ideal for out door pleasure, but youth };md high spirits more than made up tor the lack of sunshine Those who enjoyed this pleasant Misses Jewel White,, v Turner and Tucker; Mro FUAD MeDaniel; K.

Whole Thing Is in Knowing What to Purchase and How to Adapt It— An Idea for the Woman of Petite Figure. “Dear me,” said a woman to a friend recently, “how is it you are always 80 much better dressed than I am? We both wear ready-made clothes, yet I never find just the thing that suits me as you seem to do. How much did you say that dress cost?” “Fourteen dollars and seventy-five cents,” returned the other, which sum, by the , was exactly four dollars less than the price paid for the friend's costume. What did it mean? Let me tell you. The woman who looked s0 well in her ready-made frock was be fitted with the adult shop style. | 8o she was perforce compelled to buy | misses’ garments, and misses’ wear, 1 must tell you, has about the best stamp of anything in the shops. The styles are simpler than those for adults, the various articles are more daintily turned out, and last, but not least, a misses’ garment is always sev- eral dollars cheaper than the same thing, in the same material, for her mother. The shops are loath to en- courage adult buyers in this depart- ment, women who are plainly looking for things for themselves; so some- times it needs a little scheming in order to be shown the articles. The eighteen-year sizes actually fi* many women of medium height and build, and there is scarcely ever any of the costly alterations that make women's garments so dear and unsatisfactory. Our illustration shows a woman’s dress in a style that could be bought in cighteen-year old size in any shop, the materials being the modest wools and simple silks that suit the rather plain model. fs of plain brown serge, with a sailor collar, shield and cuffs of white serge trimmed with soutache. The neck bow, belt and loops down the front are of brown velvet. While quite dressy in this form, the model is adapted to the most ordinary material, and a gingham dress made up in this neat style would be very convenient for many dainty little housckeepers, Apropos of the ready-made frocks, when in one-piece style the shop gowns show to a great extent an open- ing down the entire front. This Is extremely convenlent for the girls and small women who do not wish to| bother with too much fixing on ordinary occasions, pens to be a young matron with some- thing more than the slim lines of girl- hood a dress with a plain back might be too tight. When the frock is longer in the skirt than is needed this fault is easily corrected; it is only meces- sary to do the shortening from the top instead of the bottom ,and put the bit of extra fullness so gained into a pair of small rear plaits. This addi- tion to the back is improving to the majority of figures, as only the most perfect ones are without the flatness just below the waistline that makes the plain style so trying. The misses’ bodices with double-breasted fronts are also very easily made larger for full figures—a slight change in the line for the buttoms, or opening the front and setting in a little vest, at once turning the dress into something more suitable.

This handy little brush-rack for the hall specially recommends itself on account of the simple way in which it is made. The size must be governed by the size of the brushes which are destined to be hung upon it, and for the foundation a plece of wood about & quarter of an inch in thickness should be procured, and the corners rounded with a sharp knife. P In the rack from which our sketch ! was made the wood was covered with { c-wxxwxxwwwwmoow' pale blue art linen, in the center of which the design shown was worked ' in white flax thread. On either side in the upper part two small brass | hooks (similar to those used for hang- ing cups upon the dresser) were | screwed, and the rack was edged wllh a blue and white cord. At the top | two small rings are sewn on, by which the rack may be suspended from nails in the wall. A third hook might be screwed on in the center between the two brushes, and would be useful for a cab whistle or a but- | ton hook. ! PROPER TRAINING OF CHILD| Mother's Common Sense Scheme | Would Seem to Recommend Itself to All. A mother who has had great suc- cess in bringing up her little girls on self-help principles says that she has always found that playing at being grown up encourages her children to be resourceful and independent, To help them she gives her little girls in thelr bedrooms miniature fur- niture. The chest of drawers are not too high for the child to reach to the topmost one, and the little one is taught to put her clothes away neatly 1in them and to “play” over the | process, The washstand is low enough to be practical instead of uninteresting and alarmingly high, inviting accidents and causing nervous children not to | use it for fear of spilling the water, and the hanging wardrobe has hooks | that even the shortest of the six-year- | 1 old possessors can reach. Minjature furniture of this kind gives the child | a sense of responsibility in the most delightful manner possible, It is essential that a child’s bed- room should be as light and airy as | possible, and if a white enameled suit | | of furniture be given to the lttle girl | of fastidious tastes she will take a pleasure in keeping it clean and should be taught to dust her own lit- tle belongings and thus to save others ! | trouble, and to lay the foundation for | future clever housewlifery. | | | Heavy Millinery Trimming. large black velvet hats, stretched | over stiff frames, are trimmed with what looks like nothing more nor less than the fat, chunky cord and tassel ,of a bath gown. Made of the plain- est, softest white wool yarn, the cord goes around the crown once and is tied in a knot at one side, the ends finish- ing with a tassel. The cord from one's brother's dressing gown would trim balt a dozen hats, providing he did not miss It and one did not grow tired of an abundance of this kind of trimming.
