It will beowel to fit the skirt lining and then r> the basting at the belt, because rube are more easily stitched on the lining when it is smooth. In this instasce the ruffles must have the bias dM stitched on the right side, then ttrmed over and hemmed down on the under side. By applying the folds In this manner the stitching will not show. A mother, perhaps, is unwilling to take the trouble involved in applying these folds on scallops. The work, of course, is soiewhat tedliousu In such case it is a simple matter to hem the ruffles or make them of embroidery. For ordinary wear the wise mother will make this dress of wash mate rials which may be frequently laun dered. It is to be remembered that little girls may wear china silk and sport silk as well as silk mull, but chiffons and taffetas are for the "grown-ups." The only variation from this rule is in the matter of taffetn coats, which Pretty Frock for Girl. scnetimes are permissible for summer use by children. Sashes, too, are not the same for children and adults. The former may wear a soft girdle of satin or crush-I able silk, or ribbon sashes of the kind manufactured especially for children, but it is not good taste to put on a child a grosgrain sash or any of the brocaded varieties that women wear. Hails Return of Shawls. The news from the fashion world Is that shawls will come back. espe cdally the old paisley shawls that our grandmothers wore and looked so well in, in the sixties and before. It will be a refreshing sight to see the women wear shawls again. We'll bet it will make them handsomer, if it could be so, than the loose and disjointed coats they have been wear ing. Why, some of these coats have been frights; and if it were not for the women themselves, they would have scared off the populace. We hope the shawl will return. But we have been wondering if the fashion will include the men in its sway. Many of our readers will remember when men wore shawls. They were indeed a luxury-so handy and warm. They were generally of a light gray color, but many men affected stripes and seemed very proud of their appear ance. Our recollection is that the fash ion didn't last long. The men got fidgety and returned to coats. But we banker for our old shawl again.--Ohio State Journal. Easy to Trim Handkerchief. Everyone likes to use dainty and good-looking handkerchiefs, but they cannot be bought cheaply, and often are beyond the purse. Cheaply trimmed handkerchiefs are in very bad taste, and it is far better to use sim ple ones than resort to them. However, with little trouble every girl could make herself a collection of nice Ihandkerchiefs at about half the cost of buying them. White sales should be watched for, then good linen handkerchiefs can he had cheaply; these usually have a lit New Skirts of Interest. Plaited skirts showing panels of plaits at front and back or at the sides accomplish the required flare without ungainly bulk. This type of skirt promises well, especially the box-plait ed variety, which will be in vogue this fall. Now there is a new skirt which interests rather than pleases. It is barrel-shaped and encircles with many bands, which gives It the resemblance which occasions the name. This is slightly different from the skirt with a flare at the bottom and the wired hip. Another trimmed skirt is called the lampshade. It consists of alternate layers of tatffeta puffs thinly wired and wider puffs of net or chif fon. The whole resembles most accu rately the silk lampshade of days be fore the arts and crafts era. In the same line of pretty summer frocks are costumeS made of cotton volle or or gandle, trimmed with lovely girdles of silk and rlbbem. Wide ribbons swathe the waIstline and are sometimes used $o make penalrs. Sometimes two col as w are twimsI to form the girdle and tie hemsjltched border, so Ae ah ready for further decoration. There are various ways of trimming handkerchiefs; for those who crochet a tiny border of crochet done In very ine cotton looks sweet, or an edging of tatting; this latter is seen on sie of the most expensive models in tl shops. On one or twq of the linen handker chiefs a simple pattern could be traced In one corner and worked in brolderie Anglalse; this looks most effective. For dainty wear handkerchiefs, buy some ine lawn by the yard and cut up into as many squares as it will allow; this Is a very cheap plan and a most suc cessful one. . These squares can be trimmed with fine lace and odd bits Nll Dainty Handkerchief. of real old lace can be used up, for the tiniest scrap will form a motif if care fully cut out and arranged in one cor ner of the square. Any shape will do as long as a motif is formed, such as a circlet of leaves filled in with net, a flower, etc., and other designs likely to be found in old lace. Sew these motifs on quite flat and very securely, then the lawn under netlth them can be cut away; all edges must be gone over with over-and-over stitch so that all is kept neat; press well lown with a moderate iron when lone. Initials are always suitable for hand kerchiefs, though they should not be too large; they look very nice worked with satin stitch and surrounded with tiny French knots. A collection of a dozen handker •"hiefs is thus soon made; it is interest ing work for spare moments and well repays the worker for the little trouble spent. Loose Change in Safety. Stockings, originally designed to keep the nether limbs from freezldg, have been since their very inception lted for other purposes. Witness the original First National bank. How -ver. stockings, have always been stockings, for there have never been any implrovements made since the original ones were made sometime oack In the days when man was be ginning to come out of the "stone age," excepting, of course, that they are be ing made of a finer and more expensive texture. In the days of old, no doubt potato bags Qf such things there were) were wrapped about the limbs and pinned together or held in place with the twig of a tree or tough grass. Now there are stockings of finest gossamer, and here is Miss Violet Bristow show ng the very latest anti-pickpocket, burglar-proof stocking. The pocket sewedl onto the stockings is just large nough for a handkerchief and for the ccommnodation of the mysterious ap pliances usually carried by the gentler sex in vanity cases. It may also be usedl for holding loose change or jew tlry. Milk as a Hair Lotion. Although milk is one of the most un pleasant lotions that can be placed on he head It is a hair nutrient.

All during the summer smart one piece frocks of serge have been worn by modish women. Usually such frocks were fashioned from serge and chiffon, serge and taffeta or serges and Georg ette crepe. ,One of the smartest of the new fall serge models is of navy blue combined with soiree silk In a beautiful shade of purple. The purple silk trims the bodice and cuffs and forms a band at the lower part of the skirt, which Is edged with flutings of the serge. This model shows no curve at the waist line, but hangs uncompromising y straight as many of the new frocks lo. Then there is the other extreme frocks with honed and seamed round walsts, which are likely to be too rad Ical fpr sJ1 save the daring few. And n evidence also are radical bodices without seams and bones, but shaped o show the curves of the pgre and itting quite sanugly at the wal*t M If not denltely pinbed nla. MOTOR AMBULANCE ...

A knowledge of the traffic regula e tions in your nearest market town I may save accidents and embarrassing h fines. As the number of motor cars i are increasing in farming communities it becomes necessary for every driver to obey the laws to Insure his own I safety as well as to protect the lives e of others, writes R. G. Kirby in Mich igan Farmer. Two miles from our farm an expen sive touring car spent two days in at ditch 20 feet deep. It did not get 0 there because of careful driving and observance of the road rights of oth era. Another car skidded off the road and broke an axle and no one blamed slow, sensible driving for that acci dent. Probably the roads of this state are not modeled after the Indianap Solils speedway and it is too bed that e many fools may have to die before finding it out. Heavily loaded milk wagons and hay wagons deserve some consideration e from the motorist. Often the horses t cannot quickly pull their loads to the ) side of the road to give passing room d and as farm products must be market Sed, a little Judgment on the part of t r some drivers is doubtlessly apprsecat. ed by the farmers. There is a state law requiring dm- t mers on automobile headlights and aft er stopping by the road in narrow places on many occasions to wait for the dimmers to act, I am inclined to think that the law needs some rigid enforcement in some communities. Some drivers refuse to dim their lights until nearly parallel with a passing car and in that way serious accidents may occur. When passing another machine it is no reflection on your efficiency as a driver if you slow down and allow the other car plenty of room. This is es pecially necessary at night when there are deep ditches on each side of the road and careless steering may result fatally. Steam cars and Interurbans demand a wholesome respect from the motor ist. They travel many feet per second and it is difficult to calculate how fast they are coming so it pays to wait by the track and only pass when the way Is safe. A loud horn is an asset to a motor ist in an emergency such as warning children who are playing in the road, but it can be abused. Don't drive up behind horses and frighten them, or delight in producing shocks on your neighbor's nerves. A moderate pres sure on the horn will usually be effec t tive and will not disgust the passing driver. Lock to Prevent Car Thefts. r With a new lock the mixture of gas and air is cut off as it leaves tie carburetor and enters the intake man ifold. At the same time the ignition circuit is broken, a simple movement of a switch accomplishing both results. In other words, you cannot stop the engine without locking the car. Even a If a thief were to go to the trouble of a sawing through the steel housing of 11 the flexible shaft which connects the . lock head with the intake manifold t attachment, he would be no better p off, as in this event the gate which shuts off the mixture becomes perma nently closed until the entire locking mechanism is removed. Leaky Axle Housings. One of the causes of the lubricant working from the differential case out between the axles and housings to the a brakes and road wheels is using too , large a supply of oil or grease in the case. It is not necessary only to fill I the housing to a point where the large gear will dip into the lubricant. If I the leakage continues, fit felt washers n at the differential and wheel end of f the axle. tt Plea for Fenders.

Economists with a passion for ana 'zing figures have a fertile field for tudy in the automobile statistics pre ,ared by the United States department f agriculture. To say that last year here were 2,445,064 motor vehicles egistered in the United States and hat the owners paid $18,245,718 in egistration and license fees is the mallest part of the story. To boast that In Iowa there was ne motor vehicle for every sixteen in abitants is to testify to the farmers' 'rosperity, which has been no secret tut how much of the hundreds of mil ons of dollars invested In automobiles a productive investment for the own rs? How much of it represents ex enditures for pleasure that brings no conomlc return? How far has the utomobile contributed to economies in usiness? How much has it added to be general cost of living, In the pro lotion of luxury and ease among all lasses of people? In the creation of ew Industries and new occupations or wage-earners? To make up a balance sheet for the hole nation would be an endless task. Before it was begun the figures would e out of date. There was an increase f 734,325 motor vehicles in 1914 alone 1 the United States. Some day, however, a social survey evolving around the automobile must e made. Everything else connected rith the family Income and tbhe atla~ spendituree has been a:.ted,. arned qver and seriasised.

An automobile tire valve which acts a a aafety valve has been patented. bhe purpose of the invention is to elieve a tire automatically of ex essive pressure caused by weather onditions or high speed. This valve s in reality an especially designed ap which fits on any standard tire alve stem in place of the ordinary ust cap. A rubber gasket is used to make the onnection air tight. The valve can e set for any desired pressure, and ,hen changing conditions increase the Ire pressure to the point designated, sufficient quantity of air will be eleased automatically to bring the ressare down. The adjustment can take place while be car Is running. The device by ts operation tends to prolong the life f a tire and to prevent accidents esulting from blowouts which occur rhile running at high speed. Anti-Glare Law Drawn. The features they want incorporated n an anti-glare automobile headlight aw for New York state have been greed upon by the State Federation f Automobile clubs and the State Au omohile association. It is eipqcted hat the next legislature will adopt the neasure, the principal difficulty here ofore having been to get parties in erested to agree. The features are limilar to those of the Massachusetts aw and require that the direct rays rom an automobile headlight shall not ravel at a greater height than 42 nches above the ground at a distance )f 100 feet. The New York measure as been drawn to agree with the anti. ilare regulations In other states. Repairs Won't Stick. Trouble is often experienced In get ing the tread to stick on small re airs. This might be due to any one of ;everal reasons, the most common of which is applying cement over wet ftab ic. The moisture in the fabric, even f very slight, will blow the tread oose from the fabric. Another com non cause for loose treads is the fail ire to roughen up the old carcass suf Iciently. In this case the cement will lot hold properly and after a few niles of running the repair will sep irate. It is also well to make sure hat proper pressure Is being applied a the repair when it is curing. Tire Economy. Motor trucks with the United States rmy In Mexico are showing excellet ire economy, considering the awful ,ondltions encountered. On the rear Irive trucks, tires guaranteed for 7,000 niles of service under average Amer can conditions are averaging 1,500 to 1,500 miles tunning In Mexico.
