I AN QUEEN OF ITALY, ANGEL OF MBRCY Queen Elena of. Italy inspecting the Red Cross Hospital at Florence She % Is the ido] of her people, owing to her Beited to a short walst and pleated antiring efforts in caring for wounded in the most graceful manner possible, this little girl's "Oliver Twist" dress strikes an entirely new note in fashfon. It 1s developed in gingham of good Quality and is guiltless of any decora- tion save the pearl buttons that appear down on the front and around the belt. The collar is a turn-down effect, but the neck may be left open also. For medium size 3% yards of gingham 36 inches wide will be necessary to make the design, A close study of the cutting guide will show that the plecing from the skirt and underfacing can be cut to best advantage from an open width of the gingham. Now, taking another plece of the cloth, foid it and lay care- fully along the lengthwise fold of the skirt. The front, on a lengtifse thread, 1s placed so that its straight line runs parallel with the selvage of the gingham. Av the seam edge there is left enough space to place the pock- et, which lies to the right of the skirt, Next the pocket, also to the right and on a lengthwise fold of the material, is the back; then follows, in the same position, the collar. To the right of the collar, on a lengthwise thread, les the sleeve and between the front and sleeve the pocket for the skirt, the belt and the sleeve-band. With these parts of the pattern cut after the foregoing directions there should be no trouble with the lines of "Oe Gress. Clever short waisted and severely plain frocks of linen, gingham, etc. are Elven character by unusual pockets and by groups of Seep pleats at the sides, giving flare to the skirt. Small flat collars and cuffs of white, untrim- med, aré frequently on these models and are indeed the rule, the vogue for sailor collars from all appearances be- ing on the wane. All of the old ideas persist. Short waists, long walits. Russian smocks plements are required: A good fiie, a pair of cuticle scissars, an emery board, an orange stick, a polisher and a small pot of some good polish, To manicure the nails, first file them, then soften the tops of the fingers and the cuticle by holding them in very hot, soapy water for 5 or 10 minutes. Rub on a little grease all over the finger tips, then clear out the nails. Push back the cuticle with your orange stick -- this should be done when the cuticle is soft. Pol- ish with a polisher, when the cream has been added. Dark, ugly stains left on the hands after paring pota- toes, fruit, or dther vegetables take weeks to wear off unless properly treated at the time. These stains should be removed before bringing the hands in contact with soap or soapy water, because the latter im- beds the stains in the skin in such a way that they cannot be banished af- terwards. Lemon, vinegar, or sour milk will take stains away. Always rinse off all soap when you use soap and water and dry the hands thor- oughly. Indeed one of the most important things in the care of the hands, summer or winter is thorough drying. The same care bestowed on the hands for beauty should be bestowed on the feet for comfort --- The moment the warmer weather 8éts in we begin to feel our feet! The long walks we engaged in through the winter and earl spring are no longer indulged in. The shoes that fitted so well (per- haps just a little too tight), to-day it is agony to attempt to wear them, and what we ask ourselves is the reason? The answer is very simple. Neglect! How many women are there, if called upon to do se, could remove their stockings without a 'blush at the unkempt state of their feet. Nails veglected, toes distort- 2d out of all shape, and hard skin anu often cracks and een the toes. The feet require constant and r ular attention. 3 After thoroughly Sizes 2. 4. 6. 8 10 and 12 years Price, You need not have your hands mani~}' -- TOLD IN TWILI OS -- TWILIGHT!
