the Probl ®, - The full skirt has caused more or 1gsk anxiety to makers of smart ks, especially since its fashion- "able standing has been definitely fix- ed. Gored, circular effects are al- ways dificult to achieve in semi-tran- sparent materials. Then the prob- lem of the thick silhouette resulting from skirt fullness at the waistline has called for much consideration. Dame Fashion never puazles long over a trying situation, however, There are several new styles, all in- dividual, which serve as a classifica. tion for her solution of the things of wonted vexation. The liking for fullness bunched at the side is one of the efforts to solve the silhouette question, and it seems probable that where materials of any body are used this massing of the fullness at the sides or some form of skirt yoke, at least in tha froct, will be found necessarily. Thers Is much expe too, witl which will offer for evening wear display bands plac- ed about the hips, at the head of flounced skirts as well as over the shoulders. The woman who is seeking fash- lonable effect need not hesitate for a moment to combine two, or even more, fabrics in a dress. Herein lies one of the great advantages of the new modes to dressers of slender income. 3 Cotton voiles multiply as the sands of the sea, and fine cotton crepes are not far behind. are par- ticularly delightful stripe designs in the fine voiles--rough silk stripes in = --t chiffons figured in little sprigs or in dots and bordered by a very wide band of plain tone satin--a border so wide that it affords plain satin mat- erial for a deep girdle or an entire overbodice or little coat if needed for such purpose. The sprigged taffetas and. failes are very lovely too, and particulary bewitching are certain soft, shimmering ivory white taffetas embroidered thickly in the most minute of flowered apriggs, aj host of colors and flowers being pres- ented. 3 : em of the Silhouette HOW VEILS ARE WORN. With Different Varieties. Veils are being revived. With the small turban it is worn mask-like ac- ross the upper part of the face, stop- ping just under the nose. The style is the "bobby veil". In the "bobby veil" the filet mesh is considered the smartest. The chin veil stops just half Way | between the mouth and chin. These two are the season's novelties and are not so wide as the ordinary veils. The drape veil falls from the hat brim about the shoulders and. is worn mostly over large hats. A very novel veil, well held in, is the "salamander," made of the pret- ty, uneven craguele net. One large ramage figures is arranged on this! veil, so that it almost covers one cheek. This design, a large spray of leaves and flowers, is so arranged | that the design encircles - the eye | ) --_4 lin surmounted by a red drum major or- nament. Leghorn, which for so long has been forgotten, is to be used widely during the coming season, if one may judge from the hats designed for Southern wear. Numbers of the sun hats are of this material, simply trimmed by a braided rope of some brightly colored fiber, tied about the crown. The brim is occasionally faced with fibrous material, and the crown banded top and bottom with it. Guide To Patterns. The fashions shown on this page are Pictorial Review designs.

Use the un-opened end for bottom and | hammer the cut end fairly smooth. | | Put each can into the top half of an | old stocking leg, sew the bottoms | evenly together, draw over top ends | {ana firmly tie. Arrange by placing | {one in the center and the remaining | | six around; they will just meet. Firm- {ly fasten the cans together and cus- | hion the tops with a little bair or | cotton. To cover, use any desirable | | material such as carpeting, felt, den- | im or, men's heavy suitings: if the | | latter, a very useful stool is made | without cost. For the sides, cut al | strip two and a balf inches wider! {than the cans are high: sew to the | | stocking legs, following the shape of | cans; lap top and bottom over edges | and securely sew. Set stool onto | piece of material and mark size and | shape for top cover, and when cutting | if the material is tg be turned in, | jallowance should be nade for same; | bt if 'made of carpeting, it is best | to cut exact size and bind edge with | carpet tape, and fell neatly onto sides. For bottom, use any durable ! material, cutting a quarter inch! smaller than the stool, and either | sew or glue in place. Gluing is pre- i ferable, as the stitches are liable to wear out. Ifyou wish stool made heavy, put a cloth bag of sand in| { each can. Hints For Housewives. | To remove rust from steel, cover | with sweet oil and let remain a day, | then rub with a little, fresh lime. i An excellent cure for unbroken chilblains consists of equal parts of white vinegar, spirits of turpentine and an egg, Shake well together in a bottle. Rub this gently on the | chilblains. | Velvet can be cleaned by rubbing with a cloth that has been dipped in powdered magnesia. Shake occas- ionally and when entirely gone over brush with rather a stiff brush. Before an oilcloth is put on the work table, paste at each corner on the wrong side a square of cotton. This prevents the corners from wear- ing out as soon as they otherwise would. Castor oll applied to a wart several time a day for a week will cause it to disappear. Carbonate of soda will remove the most obstinate of mud stains. Rub off with a cloth or flannel dipped in the soda, then press the wrong side of the fabric with a hot iron. If moths are in a carpet spread a damp towel over the part and iron it dry with a hot iron. 7T t and steam will kill the worms any eggs. If a calendar seems too ty to destroy, paste a piece of sandpaper over the calendar pad and use it as a mateh scratcher. If molasses tastes acid, put a teas- poonful of soda in each cupful of mo- lasses.

Through it is enough to know that the all-| pervading good which surrounds oue is mother love; it is always there, and the supply never varies; there is always just as much as one can pos-| sibly use. as one leaves the careless years of| childhood to analyze the feeling a! little, and realize that the love receiv-| ed has been altogether mbre than the | love returned, writes Janet Brooks in| the Montreal Daily Mail. i The height and the depth, the rich-| i ness and fullness, the constancy and | =e 2 unselfishness begin to grow upon one, and, without loving one's own a whit less, the heart takes in all mothers. "Somebody's mother" is a phrase that outweighs all others in {its appeal. Nothing ean withstand it. No matter how sunken and regarded the speci- men, she is immediately covered with an all-enveloping mantle that shields and glorifies. As the. children grow up, moth- erhood undergoes a change. In the early years the racial instinet was neglected to assert the superior at- tribute of one's own, and to see that they were not overlooked nor discriminated against. children take all those questions into their own hands, and force the mother to make her conclusions from | facts made by 'the children, If she dislikes the facts it some- times happens that they are touch- kit No. S700, Sites Il te 34 ches waist.

If the boys and girls lack phys- ical attractions they make up for the deficiency with wonderful men- everything else failing, remains that wonderful comfort--the conviction thata one's own is "the best-hearted child in the world." That always satisfies. And it always leaves alittle hun- ger, too, for the mother heart goes out immediately for other boys and girls to love, They may be grown men and women, but to this mother- ing one they are children to be | taken in and looked after just as if they were one's own. What a tremendous amount of that there is in the world--mother love that overflows and enfolds! How often we hear the remark: "She is just like a mother to me." raged bey, sick of the city and still mindful of home and mother, has found someone else's mother and has been promptly ad- opted.
