s make. For the dress shown, which is
- black silk with figures of green tones.
X I white organdie was chosen for the frill. 1
s jlt was made from a piece about 9
inches wide and 30 inches long, so that a
quarter of At yard of material 30 inches
or more in width would do. The edges
of the material may be rolled or fin- I
ished with machine picot or a fine nar- I
row' hem.
The material was slit down the cen- 1
ter for 15 of the 30 inches, the ends of j
the slit section joined in a narrow!
French seam. The unslit section was
then gathered down the center and the
slit pieces gathered along the edges.
This is the sort of frill that is used on
many of the new’ blousettes. but in this
case it was finished with a narrow band i
at the neck and was basted directly to
the dress, from which it can easily be
removed when needing to be laundered.

Poison Ivy Has Three
Leav “s.
BT FLORENCE LA GANKE.
Joan was an out-of-doors child.
She enjoyed picnics, outings of all sorts.
And she was as much attached to her
garden as was her Uncle Peter. It
w’as this fondness for growing things
which brought her into contact with
poison ivy. She saw the pretty, glossy
green leaves and rushed over to pick
them. She even attempted to pull up
the plant by the roots, thinking that
she could transplant it in her own
garden.
It was unfortunate, for she happened
to be a person w'ho is poisoned by the
poison ivy. And because her aunt did
not know what Joan had done the skin
was badly affected before Aunt Nancy
could do anything.
That evening Aunt Nancy sponged
the irritated surface carefully with
lukewarm water to which witch hazel
had been added. Then she put on a
dusting powder. As she softly touched
“““
( \ V
the itching and burning hands she told
Joan that any ivy which has its leaves
growing in clusters of three and not
five is always to be avoided. Poison ivy
flaunts its three leaves to the knowing
person, and these three leaves are a
W’aming signal.
Had Aunt Nancy been able to treat
the skin before it became inflamed and
itching she would have used mild soap
and water and then brushed the skin
with alcohol. If this is done promptly
there is little chance of irritation. But
once the skin is inflamed it is wise to
omit the soap and alcohol treatment.
Do you suppose » good sandwich would
have helped Joan to forget how her hands
itched? Nancy has a leaflet of good sand
wich recipes. White to her, care of this
paper, inclosing a stamped, self-addressed
envelope, asking for her sandwich leaflet,

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN
Budget Percentages.
Scarcely an inquiry about a budget
fails to ask whether this or that amount
is sufficient or excessive. Sometimes
the inquiry states the total income of
the family and sometimes it does not.
It is fairly well recognized now that
the only basis on which one can judge
how well income is apportioned for the
various needs <?f a family is percentage.
That is, it doesn’t matter so much
whether SSO is spent each month for
rent as it does that SSO may be spared
for rent. There is only one way to de
cide about that, and that way is to
consider whether the amount spent for
rent is in proportion with the amounts
I spent for other necessaries.
We dislike to cite any model budget
plan, because our needs vary, and in
the past women whose needs haven't
coincided with the plan's arrangements
have been discouraged.
Fcr example, a model plan—not an
ideal or perfect one, mind you—might
be as follows; A fifth of the income
for rent, a fourth for food, between a
sixth and seventh for clothing, another
fifth for operating expenses, a tenth for
advancement and another tenth for
savings.

In percentage that would be; Rent.
20 per cent; food, 25 per cent; clothing,
15 per cent; operating expenses, 20 per
cent; advancement. 10 per cent, and
savings. 10 per cent.
You might find, however, that rent
will cost you more and food a trifle
less. This plan is best for incomes of
about SI,BOO to $2,300.
As the income grows, less will be
needed in percentage for food and less
perhaps for operating expenses. Sav
ings may be increased and advancement j
also.
The important point, however, is to
know what things are costing you pro
portionately and to keep them In the
proper proportion in your ow’n scheme
of living. Spend at all times so that
you get the most out of your Income
and life, and spend so that you will
not want. Figure out your own per
centages and see where you stand.
