past Method of Putting on Fasteners

Toilet Apron a Pretty Qlft
• to Intending Traveler.
1^ _____ S #
The best method of putting on fast-
eners Is to sew them strongly to a
Stout piece of sills tape, hemming
-these strips of tape closely to open-
ing after all the pressing Is done.
The fasteners are apt to make shiny
places when pressing is done after
they are In place.
To finish the edges of doilies or
other buttonholed edges cut the goods
a little distance from the line where
the buttonholing Is to go and hem it
back to that line. Then buttonhole
the folded edge. This prevents the
frazsled-looking .edge so often seen
after washing and gives It a padded
Appearance.
An attractive and inexpensive dress-
ing sack cao be made of one of the
pretty shirt waists, which can be
bought at a small pried at the «nd of»
the season. Ruffle tie lower edge
and the sleeves with while or a plain
light color. Make a turn-down col-
lar of thsasme goods or eat the waist
aut to rxake a pretty .low-necked neg-
ligee. If the waist is cut with a little
Dutch neck, or in a point, and edged
With narrow lace, the effect will be
neat and dainty.
In selecting materials for waist with
the circular tucked yoke, a plain fab-
ric without stripe or figure is most.
Suitable, as the tucked yoke does not
develop prettily In other than plain
Material. If made up rf striped mate-
rial, the lines ef the atripes would
be all broken . up and irregular. In
g fabric with figures or flowers scat-
tered over it the effect would not bo
Quite so bad. At the same time, how-
ever, the tucks would not show to
nearly as much advantage as when
plain material Is used.
A toilet apron is a pretty Idea for a
gift to the friend who is to make a
Journey by sea or land. The apron
la made of heavy linen, Its turned-up
pockets either plainly bound on the
edges er feather-boned, which are to
hold all the small toilet necessities
always slipping away when wanted
In the ordinary traveling case or bag.
If one has plenty of time and cares
to take the trouble, all the edges of
this dainty apron can be scalloped
with wash silks or cotton, sod a line
of embroidery follow the scallops.
Rows of feather stitching can separ-
ate the |K>ckets, and there may be
several sixes so divided—one for
hairpins, one for back combs, another
for dressing comb; one for the small
hat brush and one for the powder
puff in Its chamois case.

Amateur Gardener Could Not Under-
stand Why teodo Did Not Sprout.
The woea of the amateur gardener
are very amusing to others, but de-
cidedly real to the man who hag
spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered his
hands and lost his temper in his ef-
forts to make things grow.
A young maa, recently married,
early In the spring secured a sub-
urban place, mainly with the idea of
“fresh, home-grown vegetables.' Every
evening he would hurry through his
supper and rush out to his garden,
where he displayed more energy than
skill. But, alas! When many little
green things began to break the
ground in his neighbors' gardens, his
own remained as bare as the Sahara.
“It certainly has got me beat," he
confided to a friend at his office ono
day. “J can’t understand why not a
blessed thing has come up. 1 planted
peas and corn and tomatoes."
“Perhaps \he seed were refective,"
the friend suggested.
“I hardly think it was that,” the
gardener replied, "for 1 got the very
best—paid 15 cents a can for them.”
Table Soto in Rod.
An effective color note in summer
house furnishings are tea and chooo-
late Bets of Japanese china In a vivid
tomato-red color. The outside of this
china is red, while the inside is of a
deep lemon color. They are entirely
without decorations,, depending upon
the urg* ial coloring and novel shap-
ing for their attractiveness. Other
sets equally novel and by some
thought more artistic are of highly
glazed Japanese ware with raised dec-
orations of the Iris or wisteria tinted
in harmonious blacks, greens and
white. Flower vases and jardinieres
are also seen in these wares, especial-
ly the latter.
Dyes from Onion Pool.
For coloring curtains ecru, boil
cnion peel In water and color starch
with the liquid stained from the peel.
The onion leaves no odor and pro-
duces the true Arabian shade better
than tea nr coffee. Also boll Easter

brown ran be obtained, from the

"Map Bubble Hanging from a Reed."
Our life Is but a soaf bubble hang-
ing from a reed; it Is formed, expands
to Its full size, clothes Itself with the
loveliest colors of the prism, and even
escapes at moments from the law of
gravitation; but soon the black speck
appears ia It and the globe of emerald
and gold vanishes into space, leaving
behind It nothing but a simple drop
of turbid water. All the poets havo
made this comparison, it is so strik-
ing and so true. To appear, to shine,
to disappear; to be born, to suffer and
to die; is ft got* the^whole sum of
life, for a .butterfly, tor a nation, for a
otar?—Henry Fredprlc Amiel.

Many a woman averages things up
by figuring that her $2S bonnet and
her husband's 92 lid average 915 each.
It Isn't difficult to size the average
man up. but women are built so queer-
ly it is Impossible to get their actual
measure.

Kept It Hid from the Children.
“We cannot keep Grape-Nuts food la
the house. It goes so feet I have to
hide It, because the children love It so.
It Is just the food I have been looking
for ever so long; something that I do
not have to stop to prepare and still la
nourishing.”
Grape-Nuts Is the most scientifically
made food on the market. It is per-
fectly and completely cooked at the
factory and can be served at an In-
stant’s notice, either with rich cold
cream, or with hot milk If a hot dish
Is desired. When milk or Water la
used, a little sugar should be added,
b*t when cold cream Is used alone
the natural grape-sugar, which can be
seen glistening on the granules, is suf-
ficiently sweet to satisfy the palate.
Thla grape-sugar Is not poured over
the granules, as some people think,
but exudes from the granules ia the
process of manufacture, when the
starch of the grains Is changed from
starch to grape-sugar by the process
of manufacture. This, In effect, Is the
first set of digestion; therefore, Grape-
Nuti food Is p re-digested and Is most
perfectly assimilated by the very
weakest stomach. “Thera’s a Rea-
son.”

N THE BLOOD
When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth
and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu-
lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These
humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish
condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry
off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter ia left
to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the add
poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the
pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis,
Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of varions kinds. Eczema appears, usually
with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there
flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching iff intense.
It ia generally on the track, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts
of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, craws and blecdst
the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended
to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition sad giving ft A
hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the
.___. ... ____ _ . form of pimples and black heads, while

Winter to break out and torment the
sufferer with the return of Spring. The best
treatment for all skin diseases is 3. S. 8.
It neutralises the acids and removes the
humors so that the skin instead of being*
irritated and diseased, is nourished by a
supply of fresh, healthy blood. External
applications of salves, washes, lotions, etc.,
while they soothe the itching caused by
skin affections, can never cure the trouble
because they do not reach the blood. 8.8.8. goes down into the circulation
and forces out every particle of foreign matter and restores the blood to its
normal, pure condition, thereby permanently curing every form of skin
affection. Book on Skin Diseases and any medical advice desired sent free
to all who write. 8.8. s. is for sale at all first class drug stores.
