hi PATRIOTIC FRENCH WOMEN DO
V - WITHOUT EASTER FASHIONS
BY MARGARET MASON.
PARIS, April 5.—France's sublime
patriotism—the noble self-eacriflce of
her women—was weirdly and wonder
fully demonstrated by the strangest
Easter recorded since Paris became
the world’s fashion centre.
The heavens, moved to pity, wept
throughout the day. The clouds co
operated with the colorless feminine
attire, and the absence of flowers to
produce a "black” Easter sharply in
■ontrast to the gayety and the color
ful scenes of normal years.
There was no fashion parade In the

serted. The scenes of the fashionable
Madeleine and of the poorer quarters
of Sucre Coeur and Notre Dame were
virtually duplicated. The usual con
trast between the wealthy and the
poorer dressers was lost In the black
pall.
The only relieving colors were occa
sional splotohes of blue-gray coats,
red trousers and the white bandages
of wounded soldiers. The only young
men In sight were those in uniform;
the other males were old men and
little children.
Ninety-live per cent, of the women
were gowned In black. The only new
women's attire shown was In mourn
ing bonnets and dresses. Hundreds
self-sacrlflcingly were wearing last
year’s creations, even the fashionable
Madeleine failing to show a 6lngle

In the taper-lighted Notre Dame

entirely of swaying shadows. Se*
was undeterminable because of the
bsence of colors until a wave of sobs

war's cruelties.
At the dismissal of the services the
women were dry-eyed again. Theli

THE BRIDE’S

Planning an Apartment Vegetable Garden.
"What else would you like to make
you happy?" I Inquired of Bob as we
aat chatting cheerfully about nothing
In particular.
"Not another thing,” declared Bob.
the gallant, as he looked placidly
around. "I'm so perfectly comfori
able and contented that I know some
thing is going to happen. I’ll take
the bull by the horns. What would
you like that you haven't got? You
know all you have to do Is to name
It, and I'il go out and setae It for you
somehow."
“Is that an honest-to-goodnes»
promise?" I demanded.
"Sure thing. I’ll make good on It
this minute If It's within human
power,” finished Bo^, with his most
serious manner.
“Very well, then. I want a garden.
Yes, I want It right away In th s
very apartment. I feel spring In the
air, and I want to grow things.
'Whew!" whistled poor Bob.
“That’s a rather unusual order. What
wou.d you like me to do, transform
the roof or change the living-room
Into a glass-covered conservatory, or
what?”
"I'll let you off easy this time,” I
said, consolingly. "All I want is a
window box—or perhaps two—in
which I can plant u. few pleblan
things like parsley and chives and
radishes and when It gets warmer,
perhaps a few flowers. Your con
tribution to the cause will be the
making of the box.”
So out to the kitchen we trotted,
and then I produced the large starch
box In which the groceries had been
delivered, and which I had saved for
the purpose. Bob sawed the top off
so that the finished box was only
three Inches deep. Then he rushed
out, bought some green paint, and
painted the outside of the box a
lovely moss green, so that It looks
ever so attractive fastened outside
the kitchen window sill.
Then I got some sand from the
masons who are at work on the new
building down the street, and filled
the box half-full of sand, and wuei.
Bob and I were out walking In the
woods Sunday we brought back a
little box of Boft earth to put on
top of the box.
I've planted chives and parsley and
radishes—bought Just a flve-cent
package of each of these seeds. Buy
ing seeds is about the most tempting
task ever. I wanted to try a package
of every kind of seed I saw, and If
I hadn't kept on reminding myse f
of the limitations of my vegetable
box I'd have come home equipped to
grow asparagus, mushrooms, sweet
corn and Killirney roses' The only
unplanned Item I finally fell for was
lettuce. The man assured me that
I could grow a small quantity In my
window box, and there's nothing so
delicious as fresh-from-the-garden
lettuce, and Bob Is so lond of sa ads.
After a while I really will plant
some nasturtiums and geraniums in
another window box which we can
have at the dining-room window.
Then we’U quite feel as though we
actually were living in tha country
with all the lovely green growing
things around.
Red Noses
Be very careful and never let your
self get constipated.
Have you anything tight anywhere
—corsets, garters, shoe straps, laced
boots, armholes? If you have alter
them at once.
Bo you wear thin stockings and
those ridiculous, sllpper-llke shoes so
many girls think smart nowadays?
If you do, you must expect your
nose to be red as red, says the Cam
den Daily Courier.
Wear soft stockings and sensible
ehoes which will keep your feet warm
and dry and look ten times more ap
propriate than "the latest style,
madam."
Don't drink your soup or tea very
hot, and when you come In from a
walk keep away from the fire for a
while.
As to your nose Itself, bathe It
every night In very hot water for a
couple of mlnuteB and then rub It be
tween your finger and thumb until It
glows. A rag soaked with eau de
cologne and cold water and laid on
the nose for a few minutes Is the
next part of my treatment.
It's the thing.
Be very simple.
Be loudly simple.
Simple styles don't count.
Make your simplicity cry aloud.
Have one of everything necessary.
Have a chair, a table, a picture, a
lamp, a vase and a rug.
The cat will find the chair conve
nient—the rest of the family may
shift for themselves.
The thing Is to show your superiority
to people who began some time ago
and haven’t the heart to throw
out their belongings. — Philadelphia
Record.

Dorothy and Davie, and Buster,
too, thought their Easter egg hunt
was quite the most fun they’d ever
had.
Bedtime came all too soon.
“Not ye-et,“ cried Davie in a
mournful voice, when mother Dear
declared that It was time to stop
playing.
“Yes, Indeed,” said mother Dear,
"you've stayed up a half hour
longer than on other nights.”
"Besides,” chimed in nurse Nellie,
lifting Buster on her lap, “you’ve
found all of the Easter eggs. No
more are hidden."
“I found more'n Dorothy. I found
ten and she only found eight, so I
gave her one of mine, and that
makes nine for each of us," an
nounced Davie proudly. “But we
aren’t through trading, and that's
why we don't want to go to bed.
I'll give you this yellow one, Dor
othy, if you'll give me that red
one.”
Dorothy agreed.
"Only you must give me that one
with the picture of a rabbit on the
side for this one with the picture of
a chicken," she declared. "I have
two with chickens on, and none
with a rabbit.”
Davie inspected the egg with the
picture of a chicken on it.
"It's cracked." he cried.
"No, It isn't; that's a pencil mark.
I started to put a number on it and
then I changed my mind," Dorothy
explained, and the exchange was
made.
"Mercy me! It’s after half-past
eight," suddenly said mother Dear.
“Children, you must go to bed this
very minute. Put your eggs away
now.”
Davie placed his In a row on the
library window sill, eying their gay
colors with admiration.
"I wou’d like," he said, wistfully,
“to eat Just one."
"Wha'at!" cried mother Dear,
holding up her hands in horror, "eat
a hard-boiled egg before going to
bed? Why. you'd dream of your
great-groat-great-grandmother!"
Dorothy giggled.
"You've told me that lots of
times," she said, "but I never did
dream of her.
" 'Less, maybe I didn't remember
about It when I got awake," she
added. “Do you think I did, Nellie?”
"Who can tell?" asked nurse Nel
lie, In a mysterious voice that set
Dorothy to thinking about all sorts
of things; fairies and goblins and
other things that you know all
about, but are never quite sure
about. Maybe great-great-great
grandmothers were like them,
thought Dorothy.
She wanted to ask nurse Ne’lie
some questions, but when she
turned around, Nellie had left the
room with sleepy little Buster, who
was quite ready to go to bed. with
an egg clutched in each fat hand.
"Up you go. and hurry!" cried
mother Dear merrily, "If you don't 1
get to bed and to sleep you 11 be
as cross as two sticks tomorrow "
The children ran to kiss father
Dear good-night, gave thetr eggs a
last fond glance and trailed slowly
up the stairs, wondering If they'd
ever, ever be old enough to stay
downstairs until they were quite
ready to go to bed.
“I'll never really wa-ant to go to
bed,” said Dorothy, thoughtfully,
"even If I stay up till 12 o'clock."
"Well, mother goes to bed early
lots of nights: sometimes fore I'm
asleep.” said Davie, "and nobody
tells her to go.” And he sat down
on the nursery floor and began to
wrestle with the knots In his shoe
strings.
“It's different when you don't
have to.” declared Dorothy, wisely,
“but Just the same when I'm
grown up I w'on’t go to bed till 12
o'clock for ever so many nights.
I want to And out something."
"What do you want to And out.”
asked Davie, pausing with one foot
crossed over the other
"Oh. something” Dorothy untied
her red hair-ribbon and folded It
with a dreamy air, her eyes staring
straight ahead.
"Aren't you going to tell me?”
demanded Davie, anxiously, as he
pulled off his shoe, "'cause maybe
I might want to stay up till twelve
o'clock every night, too. Is It
something you want to see? Dor
othy! Don't you hear me talking
to you?" And he dropped the shoe
with a little clatter.
Dorothy jumped, and said:
"What did you say?"
"You heard me,” declared Davie,
sulkily, pulling oft the other shoe,
"and you needn't make b’lieve you
didn't, so there, Dorothy Dear. 1
asked why you want to sit up till
12 o’clock, when you're all grrowed
up?” And, frowning darkly, he
began to unbuckle his garters.
"What are you going to do?” he
persisted, as Dorothy did not
answer.
“Well,” said Dorothy then, pick
ing up her hairbrush and beginning
to smooth her curly locks, " If you
won't tell a soul I’ll tell you.
Promise?”
"Hones’ and truly, black and

A NEW DESIGN IN SUMMER FROCKS
6129
A very likable frock for summer
In pale blue voile, stamped In deeper
blue flowers and green foliage.
Pale blue voile stamped with deeper
blue flowers and green foliage Is used
in a pleasing manner in the develop
ment of this charming frock. The
shirred tunic fails over a tucked foun
dation of plain blue voile and a par
ticularly smart touch is given to the
waist by a piping of black satin.
About the neck is worn a band of
black velvet with a ruching of silk
gauze at the back. Five yards of 40
lnch figured material and two yards
of plain voile make the dress.
Beginning with the waist, today’s
dressmaking lesson will deal entirely
with its construction. First tuck the
front and back, creasing on slot per
forations; stitch one-half Inch from
folded edges. Centre-front indicated
by large “O" perforations. Close un
der-arm seam as notched, close
shoulder seam. Gather lower edge
between double “TT” perforations.
Hew stay to lower edge of waist, cen
tres even, small “o” perforation at
under-arm seam. Sew collar to neck
edge as notched, finish upper edge
with pleated ruching and adjust
strap, matching small and large “O”
perforations.
Shirred sleeves are so fashionable
that the home sewer should know
how to make them. First close the
seam, as notched. Form shirred
tucks, creasing on slot perforations,
gather one-quarter Inch from folds;
draw in the desired size and etltch
tape underneath.

KEEPING ON THE RIGHT PATH
How comparatively easy life would
be If right and wrong were sharply
defined for us. so that we always knew
the right away, and never had to
hesitate when we came to cross-roads.
There are some fortunate folks In
the world who can Journey along
quite happy in their accurate knowl
edge of the roadway, because they
seem to live on the mountain-tops of
life where they get a clearer vision,
but for everyday folk like you and
me there are. alas, many problems,
and too often the boundary line be
tween right and wmng is vague and
wavering and indistinct.
What Is right for one person may
\
I
\
\
be absolutely wrong for another, and
we need moral courage to do what we
believe to be right for us, when to
follow our convictions means to make
ourselves unpopular or ridiculous.
It is by being true to our convic
tions in small things as well as In
great things that we are enabled to
keep to the right road.—Camden Daily
Courier.
Taking Care of Baby
Don't leave a light in the room
when you put baby to bed. If he has
never had it he will never want It.
and it may mean the saving of much
pain and misery later on in hlo life
Doctors tell us now that the eyes and
nerves of children who sleep in the
dark are much otronger than those of
the children who have always been
In the habit of having a light In their
rooms at night; and besides this, a
child who has been accustomed to
going to sleep in the dark from its
earliest daya will never have any fear
of the darkness in later years, says
the Camden Daily Courier.
Don't load baby with beautiful
clothes that are far too heavy for
him. P'an them so that they may be
warm and yet tus light as possible,
th-n make them as beautiful aa you
please. I should like to see it made
a criminal offense for babies to wear
those long, heavy cloaks, the prin
cipal weight of which hanga, more
often than not, almost entirely from
the poor child's peuk. __
Adventures
of
Peter
By Leona Dalrymple
(Continued from Yesterday.)
A Momentous Question.
We halted on a corner.
"Well," I said, "we’ll go wherever 1
you say.” For I was slightly
ashamed of my cranky mood and felt
Inclined to let Mary have her choice.
"No no, Indeed, Peter,” said my
wife sweetly, ' we'll go wherever you
say."
"That's very decent, dear, but
really I do prefer to have you maike
the choice—"
“And I," said Mary, with gracious
generosity, “do honestly prefer to
have you make the choice!"
I recognized, with a feeling of
e lght irritation, that we had reached
the generous deadlock to which
marital good-humor sometimes leads.
Not s “Family."
"Why," said I, “won’t you pick out
the restaurant you like best?"
“Because,” said Mary, “I'd so much
rather go to the restaurant you like
best."
I sighed.
“Well." I said, hoping this would
end It, "I haven’t any especial
favorite."
"Nor I," cooed Mary.
The deadlock was upon us again.
We stood foolishly upon the corner,
not In the least knowing our destina
tion.
“Well" I exclaimed suddenly, “do
let's make up our minds as quickly |
as we can. I detest family confer
ences on street corners."
'We aren't a family." said Mary
with disdain—the pretty woman's dis
like for a common-sense, flat-heel
suggestion of domesticity.
"Well," 1 corrected, amused, "we're
two people In a state of indeeirion,
and I dislike any conference on any j
street corner.”
"Well, then," said my wife, wide
eyed, “why In the world. Peter, don't t
you make up your mind?”
“I was about to ask you thatl”
We stared at each other and
laughed
Peter Give* In.
“Reducing to logic," I said, “there
are only three places from which to
choose—Reed's-”
"1 don't like Reed’s," said Mary
with disdain.
“I thought you had no choice"
“Well, 1 don’t happen to like
Reed's,”
"And there’s the Home Inn
“That’s not so bad," said Mary, re
flectively, “though I think I do
like Henry’s better-”
“What's the matter with the Home
Inn?"
"So many shopping women go there
and 1 don't feel like listening to shop
talk.”
"A lot of business men go to
Henry’s," I said, “and I don't feel like
listening to business chatter."
“Oh. dear," said my wife.
We had reached the deadlock again
: "it'e very warm," said Mary, "here
upon this corner, don't you think so?"
Yes-’
•'And Henry's does look rather cool
and Inviting——”
"So does the Home Inn
"We'll go wherever you want to,
Peter!"
"On the contrary," said I, you want
to go to Henry's. We'll go there."
(To be continued).
Girls and Their Hair
The hair should always be dressed to
suit the face It surrounds, and the
color and texture of the hair should
be considered- "Wiry" hair can be ar
ranged with very much better effect
than lank hair.
Many girls follow the dictates of
fashion as regards coiffure without
considering whether the prevailing
style suits them or not, says the Cam
ien Daily Courier.
For some faces the hair should
be curled over the forehead
and others. again, look best
I with the hair waved smoothly back
On no account should the hair be
drawn too tight or be plastered down
A certain amount of freedom must be
allowed If it is to look well, and also
I for the health of the hair.
Girls with high foreheads should
never strain back their hair. A little
wavy curl should be brought low
down. Never do your hair so that it
makes the head look large, especially
of you are short or light.
A parting rather to the side of the
head Is likely to take years off a
woman’s appearance. A centre part
ing gives a certain dignity that on
the contrary, inclines one to look
older than one's years.
|j The Changeable Waistline
The waistline almost makes one
dizzy—moving up and down In a most
confusing fashion. Just as you have
made up your mind that the waistline
Is at the hips, you are confronted
with the Dormal belt, which suddenly
jumps to Empire line, then under the
arms, and afterward—well, time only
I will tell where the waistline will go
to next, says an exchange.
Even the decolletage is coquetting
with It, and here and there one sees
a bodice falling quite off the should
ers or running straight across th«
front and off the shoulder, with ft
strap holding It In place.
Conservatively and artistically han
dled, this decol’etage Is preferable to
the often starting line of the wln er
frock, with Its tiny strap or filmy bit
of tulle over the shoulders and Its
utter divorce from sleeves Certainly
t has more charming possibilities for
the youthful wearer, and It Is Inter
esting to see the many and various
developments.

Dear Miss Doon:
Would you kindly tell me how to
pronounce the name "Margareta?"
and oblige a reader of The Star.

P. S.—Some tell me U’b Mar
guerite and some say it's Margaret.
Each of the names has its own
pronunciation. In "Margareta" em
phasis is placed on the third sylla
ble: in "Margaret" on the first, and
in "Marguerite" on the last syllable.

Falling Hair and Red Hands
Dear Miss Doon:
Kindly advise me what I can do
for failing hair? My hair some
times comes out In bunches
And also tell me something for
the whitening and softening of red
hands.
Hoping to see my answer soon

Scalp massage will arrest falling
hair almost immediately.
Massage Is accomplished by knead
ing, not rubbing the fingers over the
scalp. Hold the fingers firmly on
different portions of the ecalp and
bend the knuckles so that the scalp
moves, but the fingers remain sta
tionary. This ts continued all over
the head, the operation taking fif
teen minutes or more.
I am told that the following is a
good tonic: One dram alcohol tlno
ture of cantharldes, one-half dram
tincture of capsicum, two drams of
nux vomica, three-quarters of an
ounce of cocoa oil, two and one
half ounces of cologne. This tonic
should be applied to the scalp with
a soft toothbrush or tiny sponge,
after the head has been thoroughly
massaged.
Hands which are Inclined to be
red and chap easily need constant
trratment. The following Is said to
be ah excellent whttener:
Strained honey, one ounce; lemon
Juice, one ounce; cologne, one
ounca
Mix and rub well Into the hands
at night, covering with a pair of
old loose gloves, the palms split for
ventilation.
Grease in some form Is necessary
to the beauty of a hand There are
many good cold creams on the mar
ket. Apply plentifully at n'ght. rub
bing In well after the hands have
been cleaned thoroughly. Then
wear a pair of loose gloves.
A pame that w'll restore red
dened skin to whiteness Is made
from one ounce of powdered myrrh,
four ounces of strained honey, two
ounces of yellow wax and six
ounces of rose water The wax la
melted In a cup set Into a pan of
boiling water While the liquid la
warm the myrrh goes in the cup
then being removed from the heat.
After a thorough beating, the
honey and rose water are used,
adding the latter slowly. If the
paste is too thick to spread easily
it should be thinned with glycerine.
This applleaf'on Is excellent for
the arms and throat, as well as tha
hands Cocoa butter Is excellent foj
painfully chapped hands.

THE 1915 CORSET IS HIGHER AS TO BUST Comfortable 1
AND MORE SLENDER AS TO WAISTLINE and Becoming I
The fact that for many seasons
post both dressmakers and corset
manufacturers have been talking In
sistently about tbe straight, slender
silhouette is likely to be rather mis
evding to the average woman. Quite
naturally she falls into the mistaken
notion that If the figure does not
change from one year to another tlie
corset will not change either, and
therefore a corset bought six months
ago will be as good style this season
s It was last. For although the fig
ure, the Ideal silhouette, has not
changed materially In some time the
corset has been changing until It has
reached a new degree of comfort and
perfection. The facts of the case
have remained the same—the figure
must be straight, slender, girlish, the
figure of youth—but the corset manu
facturers have arrived at them in a
new and moso successful way, says
the Delineator. Several years ago
they made the corsets 60 long that
i woman oouid scarcely sit down In
them.
Now the silhouette for the coming
spring Is a most satisfactory compro
mise between the very long very
rigid corset of a few seasons ago and
the very soft, topless corset of last
vear, which proved to be not quite
enough support for the average fig
ure. It has more hones In It than
it has been having, though only
enough to hold the figure down to
the tines of the straight silhouette
and to support It nicely. It remains
% very flexible, comfortable corset
The bones are so placed that they
give the flat-front and flat-back ef
fect, iuppreaaing the fleah at th*
hack and supporting the abdotndn la
front. They give what the corseff
manufacturers call "the opes hlp*'-w
that la. there Is no bontng over tha
hip Itself, for a bons at that point
will bend and preas uncomfortably oa
the hip when the corset Is lacej
snugly.
The more lightly boned corsets wi®
be used this spring by young glrii
and women who have young, slends*
figures, for they do not need an*
more restraint than <he Ugtrtiy-bonea
corset gives them.
Since the discovery that a solution tt
01 dinar? saxollte and witch haze! has a
peculiar effect upon wrinkled skins, ®
has been learned that many prominent
society women all over the country bass
used tble simple borne treatment with
greet success. The formula la: powders®
saxollte. one ounce, dissolved In wttep
hazel, one-half pint. Cse dally ae a weak
lotion.
The beneficial actios of this wekh h|
felt et once. There's an agrees bis
refreshing sensation and feeling of exblfc
sratlon The skin soon becomes firmer atm
more youthful looking flabbiness and a®
wrinkles are Immediately affected, a®
one need hesitate to get the IhpeBgp
at the drug store and make the remedy
herself for there ere no harmful effects
whatever.—Advertisement.
