Should Alwaya Be Done from the Bot tom Two Methoda That Are Recommended. To shorten a skirt do so from tbe bottom, either by making tucks or cut ting oft the number of Inches from the ground to make it tbe desired length. When a skirt Is to be length ened, do not attempt to piece it at the top. One way to lengthen the skirt is to turn it oil evenly from the floor, measure the difference between the length desired and that which the skirt has after it is trimmed evenly. Cut a piece of material twice the num ber of inches in width required to make the desired length, and as many Inches around as the skirt measures. Allow one-half inch on all seams. Join this extra piece to the skirt proper, with the seam on the right aide. Press It flat with the edge down. Turn tbe added piece up on the right side. Measure from the waist line down the length of the skirt, and turn the bal ance of the piece up on the right side. Fold in half an Inch at the edge, and baste the edge over the joining. Stitch a double row of stitching, sewing on the applied hem, one at the extreme edge and the other about one-quarter of an inch from it. Press this flat, and you have a trimming as well as an added length. A SIMPLE BODICE. For either cloth, serge, or Unen, this design is suited; It is very plain, and su a yoke and under-sleeve of tucked net, two rows of Russian braid to match outline the yoke; the braid on the right side is continued down cen ar of front in scallops, with a but- in sewn In each scallop; the edge of upper sleeve 1b cut and trimmed to match. Materials required: 1V4 yard 44 inches wide, one-half dozen yards braid, one dozen buttons. A Smart Belt Buckle. If you are a young girl and wish to be up-to-date, save your pennies to buy a belt buckle, in Dutch silver. They are the present aspiration of ev ery girl. They vary from six to eight Inches long and three to four inches wide, are handsomely carved, and fashion able. Borne are provided with slides, but the majority have prongs through whioh the belting Is drawn. To avoid making the belting ragged where It is pulled through it Is well to paoab. eyelets and overcast tbem. PLAITINGS RETURN TO FAVOR. Advent of Fusty Drettet of a Former Period Are Responsible for Revival. The tiny knife plaitings only an inch in width are again coming to the front with the revival of the fuBsy dresses of the 1830 period. They be long to the era of the little roses, nar row fringes and puffs. The selvedge of chiffon cloth cut off and sent to the platter's or else done with patience at home will save the whole hemming process. The French also double chif fon before It Is plaited, to avoid hem ming. The selvedge of some silks may be used in tbe same way, and when the band of a different color along the edge happens to be In harmony or in good contrast it has even been chosen as a decoration for tbe dress, and al lowed to go into the frill. Tiny knife plaitings are made of lace Insertions because the straight edge forms a more even line than the scallop of lace. When Insertions are used for frills, whether gathered or plaited, they are felled to the gown so that the pattern may not be wasted In a seam. Taffeta ribbon, too, is frequently con verted into knife plaitings. Coloring Canvas Shoes. Tbe "matching" idea Is so strong just now that girls may like to know that white canvas shoes may be col ored to match any costume. The pro cess of dyeing will shrink the shoes, but they may be successfully painted with good water-color paint. Mount the shoes on trees. If you do not own shoe-trees, stuff the shoes evenly with tissue paper. Then ap ply the paint with a good-sized bristle brush or a sponge. Care should be taken to prepare sufficient paint before commencing the painting; the canvas being very ab sorbent, you will need a generous amount. As an even tint depends up on expeditious work, you can readily see the disadvantage of having to stop In the midst of the operation to mix more paint. Chamois Gloves. Chamois gloves are again gaining popularity. They look well in warm weather and are not half as extrav agant as kid ones. They come in white and several shades of yellow. The wise girl keeps two pairs of these going at once, and each day washes one pair that they may be dry to wear the following day. To wash them cold water must be UBed and white soap. Warm or hot water shirv els and hardens them. Put the gloves on and give them a thorough washing as you would your hands. Do not put them near the heal while drying. A Parasol Like an Awning. One of the latest and greatest oddi ties in parasols has a modified flat top (like oriental models) and cut In one with each gore is a proportionate lam brequin, which, joined together at the seams, falls down to the depth of seven or eight Inches and is trimmed with fringes an Inch wide. As the parasol Is opened and held up for use one recognizes the suggestion of an awning somewhat, and no doubt it protects the eyes ar .; complexion ad mirably. Vogue. Irish Lace Collars. When you wash your Irish lace col lar, you should always press it whllo It Is lying right side downward upon a Turkish towel four times folded. This makes a soft surface, and when the lace is pressed it will have none of that shiny appearance that Ironed laces gradually acquire. Before wash ing any lace all possible holes should be carefully mended with No. 150 cot ton. HENRY (lubbleB had a notion that the use of pill or lotion was the blegeat piece of nonsense that the world has ever known; "USINU boluses and tonics," he de clared, "by all the chronics, is all foolishness and flubdub as may easily be shown." PERFECT peace and calm and still ness he avowed would cure alt illness, for Illness was a fancy of an overbalanced mind; 'TWOULD surprise you with what quickness you can rid yourself of sickness," he averred, "if you will follow the plain course I have outlined." SIMPLY saying "I don't suffer" was for all disease a buffer, and would obviate your giving to the doc tors all your wealth AND the strangest thing about it, which would vex you if you'd doubt it, was that Gubbles always rambles about in perfect health. DID you fret about a head ache he could prove to you the said ache was a figment of the fancy that It didn't ache at all; HE could prove that every fever was a simple mind-deceiver and could show you that the doctor did not need to make a call. BUT to-day poor Henry Gubbles cer tainly has got his troubles; he is lying 'neath the covers and the neighbors hear him groan 'TIS a muchly-mooted question if he has the indigestion or is enter taining fancies that he doesn't want to own. ANYHOW he's waived conditions and had Bent for the physicians homeopathic, allopathic all the ones he called the worst. "GET me all the doctors quickly," he exclaimed, while moaning thick ly, "I will hire the half a dozen who come through the doorway first." WHIOH Just goes to show that no tions, whether based on pills and potions or on any other 'oplc that in our lives holds a place MAY be perfectly convincing while we do not do the wincing and as long as we can tit them to the other fellow's case. The Car Famines. Eastérn publishers are arranging tc hold a meeting of protest against the shortage In cars. Because of the Im possibility of securing rPtriererator cars for transportation, the eastern market is supplied with only enough love poetry to meet the demands for one week. With no relief in sight for a month, it is feared that much suffer ing will ensue. Reports from the Indiana historical novel belt are to the effect that fully two-thirds of the 1906 crop of histor ical romances are molderlng in the bins, because the authors have been unable to secure cars to ship them to the market. The Posey county au thors, who followed Luther Burbank's advice last summer and produced a cross between the early English 'ods blood story and the late colonial 'zounds and 'sdeath romance, are desperate. They say that the new specieB was perfect, but that for lack of cars the whole crop Is sacrificed. In Arkansas and Tennessee the dia lect producers avj at their wits' end. The season's output of swamp and mountain dia'-jct bad been carefully culled and Píslected, but. the manu scripts now He untended in the drying barns, and unless succor coines within a fortnight the apostrophes will be the only salvage.

"it was William Dean Howells," said a Chicago editor, "who first re buked tig Americans for our spread eagleism, for our foclish boasting. I see that Mr. Howells has just joined a men's society for the promotion of woman "mirage. Trust him to be in the fortiiront always. "I once heard Mr. Howells deliver a fourth of July oration in Maine. The orator preceding him had boasted a good deal. llr. Howells showed that some, of the man's boasts were even impious. "He said that these spread-eagle boasters deserved the rebuke that the little child administered to the cack ling hen that had just laid an egg. The ch"d, angered by the lien's con tinuous cawk-cawk-cawk, cawk-cawk- i cawk-cawk, shook his little finger at I her and said: " 'You fink you're smart. But Dod made dat egg.

Cutlcura's Efficacy Clearly Proven, "When about two and a half years old my daughter broke out on her hips and the upper parts of her legs with a very Irritating and painful eruption. It began In October; the first I noticed was a little red surface and a constant desire on her part to scratch her limbs. She could not sleep and the eruptions got sore, and yellow water came out of them. I had two doctors treat her, but she grew worse under their treat ment. Then I bought the Cuticura Remedies and unly used them two weeks when she was entirely well. This was in February. She has never had another rough place on her skin, and she Is now 'ourteen years old. Mrs. R. R. Whitaker, Winchester, Tenn., Serit. 22, 1908." Potter Drag tt, Chetn. Corp., Bole Prop.., Bottoa. The Thrifty Scot. A Scotsman and his wife were com ing from Leith to London by boat. When off the Yorkshire coast a great storm arose and the vessel had sev eral narrow escapes from foundering. "Oh, Sandy, ' moaned his wife, "I'm na afeard o' deein', but I dinna care to dee at sea." "Dinna think o' deein' yet," an swered Sandy; "bi t when ye do, ye'd better be droorad at sea than any where else." "An' why, San iy?" asked his wife. "Why?" exclaimed Sandy. "Because ye wouldn't coat sae muckle to bury.' Law of Attraction. The attractions of men to women and women to men are full of the most perplexing Inconsistencies and contra dictions imaginable. It Is, for Instance, a physical law that magnetism Is not simple attraction of one thing for an other, but the d'fererice of two oppos ing forces of attraction and repulsion, of which the former Is the greater. The same law holds in relation to the attraction of men and women for each other, in which, as a rule, the mascu line Is the superior force. T. P.'s Weekly, London.

The city man was jogging on to ward the summer boarding-house in a rickety old wagon. The driver was glum and far from entertaining, and the city man felt rather lonely.
