State Senator Who Says She is an Ordinary Home Woman. SENATOR KATHRYN CLARKE. To an interviewer State Senator Kathryn Clarke of Oregon said: "I was born at Gardnier, Douglas county, Ore. 1 usurp a woman's right of not tell- ing the date--but I was the first white child ever baptized in the liitle town. being no local minister one was imported for the occasion, so you see got a very good start in the direction. I have lived in Doug- 'county practically all my life. My is I position I now occupy one me a politician. Such is I am just an ordinary woman, and when one quiet Sun- afternoon I was called to the phone and received the news that Gov. ernor West had seen fit to appoint me to fill the vacancy in the state senate £fi f Hes Nothing adds so much of beauty to "morning face" as a pretty can be d Sag a Glendale, southern Oregon. - | Good | form The Visiting Card. There Is probably nothing half so bafling as the innocent bit of white cardboard called by common courtesy the personal visiting card. It is more often anything but a visiting card, bav- ing fallen into dubious uses as a means of sending regrets, apologies and in- troductions, or of representing the sender herself. It is so easy to send a card, much easier than going oneself or writing a note. It is just correct enough to let one out of a situation without criticism, but there is no sur- plus courtesy. A carl. like charity, covereth a multitude of social sins, But since cards are a necessary evil, or blessing, if you choose to call them 80, it Is well to know what is ab solutely correct. There are variations in cards from season to season, as in stationery, but the conservative card does not change ip essentials, It should be epgrayed, either in script or old English lettering and should bear only the name of the owner, the address, if desired and the day at home, if one follows such a custom. A married woman uses Mrs. and her husband's full name on her visiting card; if a widow, Mrs, ber maiden Christian name and the surname of her deceased busband. An unmarried woman uses Miss and her Christian names written out, no initials. If she is the eldest member of her family, and there is no danger of confusion, she may use just the Miss and her surname. A husband and wife may have a joint card for use in sending gifts, regrets or an. nouncing change of residence. Other wise it is safer for a man and wife to use separate cards. Never make the mistake of using a business card for social purposes. About Invitations. Notes of invitations to dinners, dances, "at homes," garden parties. etc, are generally written in the third person and must be answered in siml- lar style. Sometimes between intimate friends and for a small diner party the note of invitation would be written in the first person and, of course, the reply would be worded accordingly. Luncheon invitations are, as a rule, sent by notes written in the first per- son, Invitations to dinner or luncheon should always be replied to as soon as received, whether accepted or refused. It 1s usual to state a reason for refusal, such as lodisposition, previous engage ment, ete.

The bodice is in surplice ef- fect, while the full skirt is gathered. Very attractive for luncheon or after- noon wear is the frock illustrated in today's home dressmaking lesson. It is effective carried out in figured lawn of inexpensive quality, trimmed with in- sertion and edging and worn with an underblouse of all-over val, The blouse can be finished in surplice effect or with a round neck, cut very low to ac- commodate a guimpe. The skirt is trimmed with two deep tucks above which insertion is stitched. The aver- age size requires 5% yards of 36-inch material, with 2% yards 36-inch lace for the underbody and puff sleeves.

Now gather the sleeves on small "0" perforations, draw gath- ers the required size and stitch tape underneath. Gather between double "TT" perforations and sew in armhole of underbody, seam at notch in front. If the long effect is used the lower edge of the sleeve will have to be underfaced, the sleeve being gathered above the wrist; then again between wrist and elbow afd drawn into the desired size. For the outer front and back close under.arm seams, omitting the over- sleeve if preferred and finishing the armhole with piping or narrow satin facing. Turn hem in right back at notches and gather between double "TT" perforations. Arrange on under- body, centers and under-arm seams even; stitch lower edges together.

The home dressmaker who is prac- tising economy will find that the inser- tion ang edging, which are added after the dress Is finished, may be omitted without sacrificing any of the dainti- ness of the design.
