Newest Mid-Winter Raiment
TIMS gowning of her last-born Is of ton
h problem with the busy mother.
"When the first baby or .two arrived
on the scene, making the tiny coats,
frocks, sacques and petticoats was a
pleasutte. But as these babies grow Into
bis boys and girls and other wee figures
come to fill their places in cradle and
high chair, the making of many small
garments is apt to degenerate Into a
burden almost grievous.
Yet every mother should try to find
pleasure in this sort of sewing, for never
again In the children's lives will the re
sults of her handiwork give her such
pleasure. Atdaintly-dressed baby, from
13 mouths to 3 years, is a bright spot in
any home circle. If the mother is burr
dened by many household tasks or social
duties, then she should press the elder
daughters into this service, and teach
them that dainty sewing can be turned to
other uses than the making of handker
f chief blouses and embroidered lingerie
for themselves.
Until a baby learns to creep or toddle
about into all sorts of mischief damaging
to frocks, white is the one hue to be
chosen for all garments. Indoor or out
door.. And, in fact, white Is the most
economical hue, because It will wash and
dry-clean as no delicate tint ever will.
But the word "white' should not mean
that babies do not need warm raiment,
Just llko their elders. In Winter. Of
course. In steam-heated homes or houses
kept almost at mood-heat by furnaces or
stoves, the wash fabrics -can be used ex
clusively. The up-to-date mother, how
ever, does not keep her home so hot,
and therefore it Is often better to have
, wool sllpa to wear under the white wash
xroeks.
For this purpose, the less expensive
outing or wash flannel is the very best
fabric. Do not select too tightly woven
a piece, but allow for some "fulling" In
the laundry. I have seen just the right
weight In. outing flannel for these little
mider-slips at 7 and t cents a yard, in
white, cream, pale blue and pink. Both
the white and pink launder admirably.
Blue is apt to fade or "yellow." espe
cially if allowed to freeze. These little
lips should be made very plainly, with
the plain coat sleeve, a semi-fitted waist
or plain yoke and untrimmed skirt. The
latter should be Just a trifle shorter than
the outside wash garment.
Ami talking of these little undcr-slips
reminds me of something very pretty
that I saw in a shop devoted exclusively
to Infants' wear. In a complete baby out-

flannel underslips, with overdresses to
match. That is. the little dresses were
made of white lawn with a -band of
flowered lawn just above the hem, at
the cuffs and around the neck, in a tint
to match the underslip. If the undersllp
was pink, the overdress was of white
lawn, and the band-trimming showed
pink roses, and tiny moss rosebuds of
your grandmother's time . and' mine. If
the undersllp was blue, very delicate
ragged robins appeared in the colored
hands. The band above the hem was
about three inches wide and the wrist
and neck bands were an inch or less.
The little kimono sleeve is much seen
this Winter on frocks for toddlers, arrd
on telr littlev sacques for house wear,
but all heavjt coat sleeves for outdoor
wear are either bishop-soaped or on the
simpler mannish coat sleeve lines. .
All well-dressed children of tender
years give the appearance of simplicity,
but in reality there has never been a
time when such exquisite care was taken
In selecting fabrics and setting hand
stltches. Handkerchief linen, batiste, fin
est of lawns And nainsook. - these enter
Into all the tiny frocks for best or after
noon wear, and when lace is used, it is
the finest of French or German Val. or
real Torchon, than which no lace wears
better. Hand-embroidery, either In satin
stitch, convent or eyelet patterns. Is used
to the exclusion of the machine-made in

popular on blouses and lingerie worn by

ments. "
Some very pretty designs for this same
baby are shown today. Especially ef

FADS may come and fads may go,
but .the card party remains a sure
and favorite means of entertaining
friends Informally, or of meeting .more
serious social obligations. The new
comer In a small town, conservative
little city or suburban circle Is oft
times '"Judged by her card-party man
ner j, hence It !s Just as well for every
woman and her good man to brush
these up.
If a neighbor telephones or sends a.
note, asking you to come over the
runic evening, or the next, and make
up a table at whist, or pinochle, or
euchre, or hearts, this does not consti
tute formal entertaining, yet you
should decide promptly, and, having
Hccepte'd the Invitation, keep your en
gagement. It is only courteous, also,
to your host and hostess to dress pret
tily. This does not mean an evening
frock, and neither does It mean that
you can run over in your short tweed
or ralny-dny skirt with a flannel shirt
waist and linen collar. It means a
pretty house dress, a cashmere or silk,
with skirt and waist matching.
Your hostess will probably offer
some light refreshment, and, if she is
up-to-date, will prepare this In a chafing-dish,
around which you all gather.
If the evening wanes and no refresh
ments are offered, you need not think
that your hosts are Inhospitable, nor
does this bar you from offering some
light refreshment when they return the
rail. I think that on the whole it is
rather better, especially on cold Win
tor nights, to offer refreshments, how
pvm small the number of players may

For tho formal card party Invita
tions are Rent out anywhere from a
week to two weeks in advance, so that
the hostess may be sure of filling her
tables with desirable guests. Regrets
or acceptances should be sent prompt
ly, and if an emergency arises after,
the invitation has been accepted, the
hostess should be notified at once, so
that she may Invite a substitute or
arrange for one less table.
U it is an afternoon party for women
alone, then you wear your prettiest
culling or reception gown, furs, hat,
v-hlte gloves, etc. If It is evening and
the party is large, you wear a frock
rut with a Dutch or small square or
"V" neck at lenst. Gloves are worn
to the house, either afternoon or even
ing, but removed for playing. Ir mrfny
of the large cities women retain their
hats at informal afternoon card parties,
but some hostesses object to this cus
tom and prefer that all guests should
remove their hats, giving the rooms &
more homelike and gracious aspect.

unto itself in this matter.

The coat is in box style, without any
trimming save the braiding on collar,
cuffs and turn-back strip or facing down
the front. Incidentally, drooping lace
collars, floating ribbons and similar ef
fects are not seen on baby coats this
Winter. The model shown for this coat

was of ivory-white ottoman silk, and
the facings, cuffs, collar, etc., were of
Ivory broadcloth,.- braided with soutache.
This tiny, snug-fitting turnover collar is
much better for the' Winter coat than the.
deeper sailor shape.
The coat would be just as effective if
developed in white corduroy, which, by
the way, tubs admirably, trimmed with
braid or broadcloth facings. Or it looks
well In white bear-cloth. The cap should
be made in the same material; and has
a turn-back, square finish which may be
heavily braided or trimmed with tiny
bands of fur with animal heads to match,
such as ermine or otter. For both coat
and cap about three yards of material 44
inches wide will be necessary for a child
of three or four years.
Next to the coat, a warm ' little gar
ment Is shown, the nightingale made
from fine French flannel, with scalloped
edges and tiny flowers embroidered in
the scallops. This Is Just the thing baby
Etiquette of the Card Table
is given for charity, particularly in a
hotel or club parlor, hats are not re
moved. Neither are general Introduc
tions necessary. The patronesses or man
agers of the affair usually receive ar
rivals at the door of the reception room
or first parlor, and all who buy . tickets
may feel free to converse with their
fellow-players without an .Introduction.
On the other hand, it is not necessary to
carry this Informal acquaintance - beyond
the doors.
The booby prize has practically disap
peared from the card parlors this. Winter.
A first prize for the best man -player and
the best woman player is given, and then
consolation prizes to those who make the
next best scores. Sometimes even three

FI.ANKEU
prizes are awarded, but two for each
sex Is sufficient.
Refreshments for the afternoon card
party are simple or elaborate, accord
ing to the number of guests and the
character of the function. At a simple
formal gathering, tea or coffee or
chocolate, with sandwiches or wafers,
will be sufficient. For the more formal
affairs the hot drink, bouillon, creamed
oysters, Newburghs. salads. Ices and
cakes are also served. Nuts and can
dies are passed all the afternoon,
punch may also be served during the
games. The salted nuts and candies
should be dry and(crisp or they will
soil the finger tips and interfere with
the card-playing.
For the evening party, some hot re
freshments are absolutely essential,
and for both afternoon an.d evening the
refreshments are served at the tables,
where the players remain when the
the games are finished. In the average
house, the large card party overflows

sleeves are formed by tying the slashes
together with ribbons .matching in color

For the wee toddler there- is nothing
prettier than the plain straight Skirt,
hung from a yoke, and on ; this yoke
should appear the only trimming em
ployed. Two pretty yoke shapes are
shown- today, one in a point and another
In three scallops, back and front. Either
could be decorated with eyelet work or
convent embroidery. When the latter Is
used, have alternate strips of hand-run
tucks and tiny French vine patterns, or
you can combine French Val. insertion,
very narrow, 'with strips of hand em
broidery. For the scalloped yoke, the all
over English eyelet patterns, not too
large or heavy, are best. Even the hems

Nowhere does, the newcomer show
her innate breeding more clearly than
while the game is in progress. How
ever much she may -yearn to distin
guish herself at this, her first appear
ance In the card-playing set, she must
not allow her desire to score points to
lead her into rudeness toward her part
ners. I know of mdre than one womaan
dropped from . a card-playing set sim
ply because she could not control- her
greed for prizes and her sharp tongue
when her partner made some trifling
mistake. .
A card party, formal or" informal,' de
mands a call within a fortnight. If your
husband is a. busy man, but found time
to attend the evening function, you must
leave his card when you pay your own
call, or rather, you leave one of your
own for the hostess and two of your
husband's cards, one for the host and one
for the hostess. It is even better, how
ever. If your husband has no other time,
to pay your call together on a Sunday
afternoon, for even in the smaller cities
today Sunday afternoons are much given
to calling, and many hostesses announce
that they will be home with their hus
bands every Sunday between 3 and 5.
The American man is very apt to accept
the hospitality, which gives blm an even
ing's pleasure and trust the duty-call to
his wife, but she will do well to occa
sionally urge him out for the Sunday
afternoon calls.
Hair Advice.
A little care every day is absolutely
necessary if you would have glossy locks
that will stay in place. Brushing gently,
but not roughly forcing a brush through
the tangles, massaging morning and
night. If only for flvq minutes each
time, and ventilating as often as possible,
are the three essential treatments. Then
add the shampoo as often as needed. A
word of advice regarding hairpins. Do
not buy wire pins. They cut and break
the hairs, and are exceedingly injurious
to the scalp, as the sharp points -irritate
it. The celluloid ones cost more, but
they are the only hairpins that a woman
should wear, if she values her crowning
glory. .

Home-Made Prizes for Afternoon Card Parties
THE matron, the bride ahd the
. debutante alike find the after
noon card party a pleasant way
f entertaining girl friends. .; And in
making their calculations the prizes
always present a problem, particularly
if various parties are toJte given dur
ing the ' season and purse strings are
none too loose. . Of course, if money is
no object, the hostess will have ,no
trouble in making her selections at
novelty shops, but for the afternoon
Perhaps the most important item in
the condition of the hair is cleanli
ness. You may have' hair that reaches
below your waist," but' If you neglect
to shampoo it, and it hangs dead and
oily, then the girl with the hair to her
shoulders, who keeps it clean ' and
bright, will make a far better showing.
YOKE! Iff THREE SCALLOPS.
" Time was when there was a set rule
for shampooing the hair once a month.
This rule cannot be applied to every
woman, for the girl with oily hair
should shampoo it once a week, while
all blondes should -shampoo every other
week" at. least. Neither will the samt
shampoo preparation serve for all
heads. The girl whose hair Is nat
urally dry needs a stimulating sham
poo with oil in It to feed the scalp,
while the. girl with over-much oil
party with only women to consider as
prize-winners, home-stitchery and in
genuity will do wonders. This is an
epoch of daintiness, and no end of
lovely things can be made for the room
or ' person of the fortunate player
dainty things which are sure to be
pronounced well worth the winning.
It seems to be a year of boxes.
Large boxes, small boxes, square, ob
long and round boxes, and boxes -for
every conceivable purpose. Most of
these the home sewer can manufac
ture quite as prettily as those- to be
purchased at the department stores.
One of the prettiest prizes that you
could possibly -offer is a set of three
boxes, one -for veils, rather long and
about half as wide as It Is long,
another for gloves, which Is oblong,
and a . third one for handkerchiefs,
which must, of course, bo square.
These should be covered all alike with
cretonne of dainty French figures,
with foulard, or with pink or blue mus
lin, and overlaid " finally with net or
lace. - Hinges of tiny satin ribbon must
be put on them, and they should be
lined In matching colors. tJnder the
inner lining shake a little sachet pow
der, that the little accessories of dress
put into them may have a dainty odor.
I kpow of no girl who would not be
overjoyed at winning such a prize.
The boxes you can procure at a candy
shop, for they need be of no stronger
material than ordinary cardboard. Or
your druggist often will glvo you soap
boxes that are of quaint shape.
System of Numbering Shoes
( T IS the hardest thing in the world
I for me," said a busy man the other
day, "to remember the- sizes of my dif
ferent articles of wearing apparel. Col
lars, shirts and gloves . are easy enough
because there it's a matter of actual
Inches, but where they get the hat and
shoe, numbers is what beats me, and why
I have an 11 stocking under an 8 shoe is
another mystery.
The last puzzle is " easily explained.
Stockings have always been measured by
the inch from heel to toe, but the num
bering of shoes was fixed a long time ago
by a Frenchman and It's so long ago
that only one New York dealer could' be
found who knew anything about it. Even
he didn't know the inventor's name.
. The Frenchman permanently fixed the
numbers of shoes for all Europe and
America. He arbitrarily decided that no
human foot could possibly be smaller
than three and seven-eighths inches, so
calling this point zero he allowed one
third of an Inch to a size and so built up
his scale. Consequently a man cannot
find out the number of his own shoe un
less he is an expert at exact arithmetic.
And even then he is likely to go wrong,
because all ' shoe-experts allow for the
weight of the individual and the build of
his foot before they try to determine
what-size shoe he ought to wear.
As far as women's shoes are concerned
the problem Is still more difficult be
cause many of the manufacturers instead
should use a shampoo containing in
gredients which tend to dry up the
superfluous grease.
For- the average head, the following
shampoo Is very beneficial:
Yolk of one egg, one pint of rain
water (lukewarm) and one ounce of
rosemary spirits.
Beat the mixture thoroughly and use
it warm, rubbing It well Into the scalp.
Rinse In many waters and dry the
hair in the sun and open alr lf possible.
Always select a dry, sunshiny day for
shampooing. ,.'.-.
Sometimes a dry shampoo is - very
beneficial and Imparts to tho hair a
pleasing odor. ' If any of my readers
who would like such a. formula will
send me a stamped and self addressed
envelope, I should be glad to send it
to them". " .
But do not think that shampooing
4ho"hair now and then will serve' to
keep it- fluffy nd in generally good
condition. Your -hair needs dally at
tention, jusV as other parts of your
body. Many girls have parted their
hair so long In one place that little
bald spots begin to appear, "or the hair
fails, to grow thickly &bout the tem- '
pies. Nothing is better for this con
dition than pure vaseline, but be care
ful wken putting It on to rub it Into
the scalp and not get it all over the
hair. -
Be careful to use combs and brushes of
good quality, and above all things, avoid
the wire brush you might as well scratch
your scalp with numberless pins. Choose
a brush with good bristles, not too hard,
and a- comb of celluloid or shell, rather,
than rubber. At least once a week ven
tilate your hair by running your fingers
.through it and tossing It so that the air
reaches the scalp; and the oftener you
sit In the sun with your hair hanging
loosely down your back, the better. And
most important or all, massage the scalp
today, tomorrow and every day. This is
worth all the tonics In the world, for
tonics are of no avail poured on the whole
mass of hair. To be of real benefit, the
tonic must be rubbed Into the scalp by
massage.
Especial care should be given to the
hair when it starts to grew about the
forehead. New hairs are apt to -show
themselves here,' and no amount of hair
dressing will cover up ' an unsightly
ragged line about the face. To keep this
In good condition a massage oil of equal
parts of vaseline and pure almond oil is
beneficial. These two ingredients should
be warmed together and ' applied while
still warm about twice a week massag
ing the lotion well Into the scalp.
Girls who have blonde hair that Is apt '
to take on a faded look will find great
benefit In using a mixture of fine yellow
corn -meal and orris root. Spread a large
piece of old linen; over the side of your
bed, - and . let your head hang over this.' a
Then rub the corn meal mixture well into
the scalp and through the hair. Shake
out and rub In more of the mixture. Re
peat this several times, then take a rather
soft brush and brush gently until there is
no meal left in the hair. This the blonde
girl-should do once every week. It is
cleansing as well as stimulating.
Frequent changing of the method of
wearing your hair is very beneficial. If
you are in the habit of parting your hair
in the middle, part it at one side for a '
few days. If your hair Is heavy and you
wear it high on- your head, let it hang
down your back in a braid once In a
while. In this way the continual strain
on one part of the head is relieved.
The newest aprons are made of wash
ribbon with Dresden figures scattered .
over it. Four strips of this ribbon about ,
four Inches wide are joined together with
German Valenciennes Insertion, less than !
an inch in width, and around the whole
apron is sewed an edge matching the in
sertion. The corners should be rounded
and the apren finished with a band of ,
the ribbon with strings of the same edged ,
with the lace. This charming little gift ;
will make a most attractive prize and is
really very practical if made of the wash
ribbon, which will stand many, many
washings with ,a pure soap.
A nightgown case Is something that :
few girls possess, as it Is a fashion just I
stolen from our French sisters, who love '
dainty fittings for their bedrooms. These, 1
cases are made of heavy white linen
bound with pink or blue wash ribbon an
inch in width. In shape they are exactly
like a large envelope about 18 Inches
square.' On the flap of the case or en
velope can be embroidered a wreath or !
some conventional design matching the
ribbon binding. You must make also a
long, narrow sachet and slip It inside the
case to scent the gown, and the case gen
erally rests at the foot of the bed during
the day.
Hand-made corset covers are always ac- '
ceptable, and my space is too limited for
me to go into the many possibilities of :
neckwear, bu't I. can safely say that no
girl can have too many charming neck
pieces in this day when all well-dressed
girls need about a dozen or more.

of keeping to the regular scale have
marked down their numbers one or two
sizes in order to capture easily flattered
customers. For this reason most dealers
ask out-of-town customers to send an old
shoe with their order.
The system of measuring hats is much
simpler. Any man can tell what size he
wears by simply adding the width and
length of-the inner rim and then dividing
by two. Orders can also be sent to the
shopkeeper by stating the circumference
of the head.

He came from the war in the evening
The meadows were sprinkled with snow.
The drums and the bugles were silent.
And the steps of the soldiers were slow.

Must dwell with the ghosts of the slain.
