THE WOMAN'S CORN™
NEAT HOUSE FROCKS
SMART AND USEFUL GARMENTS
FOR DAINTY HOUSEKEEPERS.
""■ame Fashion Provides Attractive
Models for Making Up Cheap Ma-
terials—Becoming Styles Even
in Cooking Aprons.
The good housekeeper Is generally
n dainty body when It comes to her
personal appearance, and if she is
young and good-looking she is some-
times very particular about her work-
ing clothes. Dame Fashion knows
this, and has provided very attractive
models for making up all the numer-
ous materials now so reduced in price.
There are becoming styles even In
cooking aprons if you please!
Those for genuine work are still
practically large, covering almost all
the gown and very nearly meeting at
Our illustration displays the "house-
maid's" apron, which is so useful for
protecting a pretty dress and yet is
graceful and becoming too. The apron
is in one piece, with the shaped
flounce gathered full at the bottom
and plain at the sides. The ample
pockets are made with a long end
that runs up into the belt, thus nar-
rowing the space very becomingly
across the abdomen. The bib is made
with straps that cross at the back
and it may be cut without the epaulets
if material gives out or the shoulder
pieces are not becoming. For good
service white butcher's linen or brown
lioliand would bo best for this apron,
and in this shape It would do for
either mistress or maid, For the gar-
ment the waitress would wear at a
smart dinner or luncheon dotted
swiss, dimity and checked muslin are
all suitable, and with these a little
edge of narrow lace would be pretty.
For the medium figure 3% yards of
material 24 inches wide will be need-
ed for this apron.
VACATION.
He whispered and he told her. close
Beside the summer sea.
His yearning wish to hold her close
Through all eternity
fWhlle In his heart he counted up
The hints she had let drop
Of how the ducats mounted up
Each week In papa's shop),
He told her of X A. Z ,
His railroad, with such pride.
The maid In wondering ecstasy
Quick nestled at his side
(We all converse so sloppily
And let our thouRhts jfct quirked;
Bhe meant when talking shopplly
The shop where papa worked.
His railroad, too. meant nothing rasher
Than that he was Its baggage smasher).

Just Guessed It.
"They say she Is able to trim her
own hats so that even women are un-
able to discover that they have not
been fixed up by the milliners."
"It is unfortunate that she Is so
homely."
"Who said she was homely?"
"Nobody; but a woman who could
save expenses by trimming her own
hats would never be permitted to re-
main single if she were not painfully
plain."
"Alas, you have guessed it."

SOME DONT'S FOR MOTHERS
No Surer Love Destroyer Than Mother
Who Is Chronic Fault Finder
and Scold.
Don't let yourself grow old In feel-
ings. It means growing away from
your children and bitter, lonely hours.
Don't let yourself rust mentally.
The growing girl and boy who can
have mother help him out in a tight
place in his lessons, or can come to
her for a clear answer to a perplexing
question, rarely gets that disagree-
able know-it-all air so common to
young America.
Don't try to force your children's
confidence. If from the start you
have tried to be a chum of your child
the confidence will be given unsolic-
ited; those that are asked are given
grudgingly and with a sense of re-
sentment, if not actually refused.
Don't let your children see that you
are disappointed in them. There is
no surer road of self-consciousness
and the don't care attitude than if the
boy or girl feels that mother thinks
him a failure.
Don't, on the other hand, think your
progeny prodigies. If the child knows
he isn't, he is conscious of embarrass-
ment and being under a strain; if he
agrees with the maternal opinion he
becomes insufferably conceited.
Don't, whatever else you do or
leave undone, don't nag. There is
no surer love destroyer than a mother
who never lets up, who magnifies
trifles, who Is a chronic fault finder
and scold. The children of such a
mother rarely are found in the home
—If they can get out of it.

and there are pretty bibs, oddly-shap-
ed pockets and flounces for the bot-
tom. Then bits of color are used to

brown and tan linens, or perhaps a
gay plaid will be used, this shaping

As to more elaborate aprons, they are
all the rage—little muslin trifles trim-
med with ribbon and lace, tiny, nar-
row and the height of coquetry for all
work that isn't real work; sewing
aprons made of gaudy handkerchiefs,
black silk aprons with quaint em-
broidered bottoms for afternoon tea,
aprons worn while putting flowers Into
the vases and all sorts of aprons for
all sorts of purposes. In truth one
might very readily write the book of
aprons, so varied and charming are
the present phases of these useful and
always -delightfully feminine details.
The housekeeper's working frock
has also taken many steps upward in
charm, and if there is no time to
make the needed garment there it is
always in the shop, with prices often
marvelously cheap.
The breakfast gown in two pieces,
belted jacket and skirt, is exploited
in unnumbered dainty materials, lace
Insertions and edgings and ribbon
drawstrings and bows going with
these, and every little ready-made
model tells you just how the flowered
or striped or spotted goods on the
next counter would look if you bought
It and made the dress yourself. The
shapeless and really improper wrap-
per of the long ago is conspicuous
by its absence. The garment that
takes its place is a "house gown,"
ard this Is most commonly in Em-
pire style whether the garment is in
mart texture or not.

There was a small crowd at tin
soda counter when the tall man
rushed in and pushed an empty bottle
over the drug scales.
"Acid!" he whispered, excitedly.
Ten cents' worth of acid, and quick!"
The soda-water crowd began to sit
up and take notice.
What's he going to do with that
acid?" demanded one.
"It's a secret," answered the drug
clerk.
"Nothing unusual. 1 hope?"
"Well, rather."
"What! You mean to say he Is go-
ing to take that acid?"
'Oh, no. Listen. There Is a sliver
wedding at his house tonight and he
Is going to test the presents as fast
an his friends bring them."
And then and there they voted him
the meanest man in town.

KNEW A STORM WAS BREWING
Great Convenience In Many Ways
and Well Worth the Trouble
of Making.
A seat to place across the bath tub
is a great convenience in many ways.
The one shown in our illustration is
well worth the little trouble that will
be entailed in its making.
Wood of about an inch in thickness
and about ten or twelve Inches in
width should be used, and the seat
should be made of sufficient length
to extend two or three Inches on
either end, two blocks of wood are
fastened with screws to prevent the
possibility of the seat from slipping
out of place, and a glance at the
sketch will explain this.
The seat can, of course, be placed
on or removed from the bath In a

Shrewd Scheme Stopped Run.
Many years ago, in consequence of
a commercial panic, there was a severe
j run on a bank In South Wales, and
the small farmers Jostled each other
In crowds to draw out their money,
j Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse, when the bank manager, In
ii fit of desperation, suddenly be-
; thought him of an expedient. By his
j directions, a clerk, having heated some
sovereigns In a frying pan, paid them
over the counter to an anxious appli-
cant. "Why, they're quite hot!" said
1 the latter as he took them up. "Of
j course," was the reply; "what else
could you expect? They are only Just
1 out of the mold. We are coining them
by hundreds as fast aB we can."
"Coining them!" thought the simple
agriculturists; "then there is no fear
of the money running short!" With
this their confidence revived, the pan-
ic abated, and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.

Inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for a number
of years and complained of that 'weak
all over' feeling and sick 6tomach.
"Some time ago I was making an of-
ficial visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. I noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. lie
replied that it was Postum. I was so
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, I bought a package to carry
homo with mo, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked it so well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
"I had really been at timeB very
anxious concerning my mother's con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
"I know Postum has benefited my-
self and the other members of the fam-
ily, but in a more marked degree in
the case of my mother, as she was a
victim of long standing."
