American girls are fast falling into a hospitable custom long prac ticed by their English cousins that of serving afternoon tea on any and every occasion. The beverage itself may be diluted in fact, its coloring may be palest amber but tea it must be. Since the revival of the tea fad many quaint, old-fashioned tea sets of grandmamma's and great-grandmamma's daya have been brought from obscure hiding places and press ed Into service. QUAINT LITTLE PEN-WIPER Original Design Made to Represent a Frog and Carried Out in Green Velvet. A very quaint and original little pen-wiper this, made to represent a frcg. It is carried out In bright green velvet; Is 3V4 Inches In height and ti inches across the broadest part For the top of the pen-wiper a piece of velvet la cut out In the shape shown In the diagram on the right hand side, and upon It the legs and mouth are worked In yellow silk at ' the points indicated by the dotted line. Then a number of pieces of ma terial (almost any kind of thick ma terial will do) are cut out exactly the same size, and with the top piece sewn together at the edges with button-hole stitching. The feet are not sewn together, as It Is at this part of the pen-wiper that the pens may be Inserted to be cleansed. On the head of the frog two small pearl buttons are aewn to represent the eyes, and complete tola little novelty. The best way to obtain the shape In which the material should be cut out to to sketch It first upon a piece of paper and then lay the paper upon the velvet and cut that out TO PRESERVE THE EYESIGHT No Eyes Can Be Beautiful That Art Not Healthy and Strong. The woman who wishes to look youthful and beautiful should not neg lect the care of ber eyes and Inci dentally the brows and lashes. There is a peculiar fascination about a pair of fine, bright eyea that no woman can afford to Ignore. The first thing to look after Is their health, and no eyes can possibly be beautiful that are not healthy. If there is anything wrong with your eyesight, consult an oculist, nnd never allow any but a skilled person to tamper with them. It Is bad economy to save money at the expense of one's eyesight. If you have nice eyes and wish to keep them bo, her are a few simple don'ts to remember: Hold the book on a level with the eyes. Don't read on a moving train. Don't read while you rock. Don't tax your eyes when you nre tired or hungry. Don't try to read Just ono minuto more In the dark. Don't use your cyeB when they smart Smarting means that it is time to give them a rest Don't unnecessarily faco tho bright sunshine. PIERROT RUCHE 1 vr-i.'. ..yz-J Photograph Underwood It Underwood.

Ono of tho most attractive of the new linen frocks now being shown for wear In the south Is of striped linen, made with a double skirt and blouse, a simple, almost childish de sign that requires perfect fit and cut to make it as smart as the original model. The skirts are both quite scant, while the blouse has quite a little fullness. The only trimming is a collar of white linen edged with em broidered scallops. This Is round and rather plmllow in front, but in the back it extends to the belt. White Blouses Revived. It seems essential to wear some touch of black at the neck of a white blouse these days, and the fashion will bo followed out in America with out doubt More thin white blouses are sold than for the last four years, because they have returned to favor with morning suits, provided they are quite plain and very sheer. The only trimming allowed Is a narrow band of Irish Insertion down the front and at the collar and on edge of Irish Plcot on the frills over the hand and down the front Those Bird Men.
