WHEN SHORTENING A SKIRT.
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.

CALLING DOWN THE BOASTER
Good Little Story Told Ky William
Dean Howells as a Rebuke to
Spread-Eigleism.
"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. You touldn't help but
lay it!'"
SKIN ERUPTION CURED.
Wat So Sore, Irritating and Painful
That Little Sufffer Could Not Sleep
Scratched Constantly.
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.

"An' why, San iy?" asked his wife.
"Why?" exclaimed Sandy. "Because

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

The young lawyer, having been

was working as a hired man on the

"Well, Si, what do you think?" the

sometimes 'nother."
"But, Si, they have nominated me
for county attorney."
"They might 'a' done worse, Lon

you're out of the woods."
The young attorney was duly
elected, and on his next visit to the
farm announced the fact unctuously
to SI, who was at the woodpile, saw

"Well, Si, I am elected by a large
majority. What do you think of

"Fine," grunted the driver.

"Old man Bitt's boys."
