Dear Miss Dane : I should be glad of your assistance in a
small matter, I bought a hat for my little girl, low crown and
wide brim, with some soft ribbon for trimming four inches wide.
1 twisted it around the crown and made a large bow with wide
loops for the front. It looks very nice, but when she
puts it on her head the bow falls flat, and the effect is spoiled,
i have been told to put wire in each loop of ribbon, hut it shows
through the ribbon, as the ribbon, though of good quality, 'S
soft and sheer. 1 shall feel- grateful for an early reply, as I
want to remedy matters. A Mother.
The loop of wire placed within the loop of soft ribbon
will, 1 am sure, spoil the effect. What you should do would
be to get fine, white silk wire, and hem it into one edge of the
ribbon, drawing it slightly to give over a slight crinkly appear
ance to the ribbon, and then when you make the bow see that
the wired edge is uppermost on every loop. The bow finished
sew in place, and open the loops a little by inserting the fingers
between the wired edges, making them look as graceful as pos
sible and you will have no more trouble with falling bows. The
wire, too, will be an improvement to such a very soft, as well as
a thin, ribbon.
Dear Miss Dane: I have a very pretty dress pattern of print
ed mull. It is white with a small bunch of rosebuds scattered over
il unite wide apart, and I seek your advice as to a model 1 am a
brunette with good complexion, S ft. 5 in. tall, 36 bust, 24 waist,
and can wear pink. I should like it trimmed with lace. What
kind shall 1 buy. I want a pretty dress, but one not too diffi
cult to be made at home. Am 23 years old, not married.
Maiden.
I am sure you will find both material and color becoming.
Make a fairly full skirt gathered into the belt, and the bottom
hemmed with a band of pale pink lawn, its upper edge cut into
shallow crescents. Above this, set in two tucks, then set in a
band of the goods, cut so that the design runs ri;;ht through
the middle. Outline each bunch of rose-buds with narrow white
Val. insertion lace before inserting the baud. This done, set
two tucks above so that the band divides a group of four tucks.
Make a yoke on the waist with Val. insertion lace,, and have
a pointed bertha of the goods hemmed with the solid pink and
the design outlined with lace as on skirt. The lower portioit
of bodice will be fairly full and be brought into a belt of sott
pink ribbon. Your sleeves can be as pretty as you plcise. Small
puffs covered with frills alternately solid pink and the goods
all edged with narrow Val. lace is a suggestion, and full puff's
tucked horizontally and brought into lace cuffs, matching the
yoke is a second. The frilly sleeves are perhaps the newer, but
either will become you. Again, both styles are easy of con
struction. H you choose the frilly sleeves, they may be tied
to the arms with pink ribbons. This will be a'! extremely dainty
frock and the trimmings will not be at all expensive, just the
Val. lace and the ribbon.
Dear Miss Dane: I have a navy blue suit skirt and Eton
that I am tired of for street wear. I should like to make the
coat into some kind of a waist if you think it could be done.
It h;-.s only underarm seams, and straight fronts. It will, I
think, be rather heavy for a waist, but -I thought I might get
some kind of a jumper from it, if you think that style would
be becoming to me. If you advise this, what shall I buy for the
blouse? The skirt will answer as it is. I am 5 ft. 3 inches tall,
34 bust, 24 waist, 39 hip measure. Have fair hair andblue eyes,
not much color; 38 years old. Mrs. R. R.
I should think you might get a very nice bouse dress from
your serge suit. Cut the coat low in the neck, round yoke
effect, and lay a strip of lining down the centre front, connecting
the front edges. Finish the top of the jumper with a band of
contrasting material, as white cloth, or blue and white silk, taking
it down over the lining: By inserting this strip .down, the front,
you have gained a little fulness, which pleat in just over the bust
before setting on the band as a finish and bring into a blue
belt. If you have used white cloth, then cover with rows of
black or blue soutache braid. The sleeves, I take it, are just
tight-fitting coat, so you must cut them off, slash them and trim
the edges to correspond with the waist. The result should be a
smart gown both for house or street wear. In regard to a
blouse, I fancy you would find lingerie the better choice, as it
could be so often renewed. However, white China silk made
with a yoke of little tucks and lace might be worn if you want
a more dressy toilet. Elaborate materials or styles, however,
arc not considered in good taste in connection with these informal
gowns.

New York'City.
Dear Miss Dane: I want to get a pretty frock for gradua
tion, but it must be inexpensive, as our means are limited. What
material do you think is the most serviceable for such an occa
sion, and that would not require too much trimming. I am 14
years old, 5 ft. 3 in. tall, have dark hair and eyes and of medium
build, neither too stout nor too thin, mother says. An early
answer will oblige. Graduate.
In considering the respective merits of the different materials
appropriate for a graduation frock, 1 have decided in favor of
dotted swiss as best meeting your needs. In the first place, it
comes at all prices from fifteen celits to a dollar, it does not
require much trimming; in fact, is better for the absence of
trimming; is durable, coming in for wear all summer; and lastly,
Marjorie Dane Patterns
With uch a nightrobe as this it is impossible for the little
sleeper to become exposed to any sudden changes of temperature
at night by kicking off the bed clothes, for the limbs are always
protected. The idea of having the, drawers and the body of
such a suit separate and buttoned together is a novel and clever
one and saves washing.
The pattern, No. 1572, is cut in sizes for children from 2 to
8 years of age. For a child 4 years old, 27A yards of material
36 inches wide will be required.
The material of this dainty little French frock is w:iite
batiste, with Val insertion and edging for the decoration. The
front is cut in one piece, the fulness from the body tucks being
sufficient for the lower part, but the back has a little gathered
skirt set on finished with a big bow of the material at the back.
The sleeves are little more than short, full puffs, with epaulettes
across their tops, finished with lace and insertion, also. Saucy
little bows of pink ribbon give the touch of color that a French
woman loves, and the low Dutch neck is becoming and charm
ing. The design can be simplified for plainer frocks, if de
sired. The pattern, No. 1557, is cut in sizes for children from
2 to 8 years of age. For a girl six years old 4 yards of materia!
27 inches wide will be required, with 6 yards of insertion, 2li
yards of wide and 1'' yards of irairow edging, and 5! yards of
ribbon.
Either pattern may be obtained, postpaid, by sending ten
cents, the number and size desired, and the name and address
to Miss Marjorie Dane, 44 East Twenty-third street, New York
Citv.
is not too sheer. A very thin, sheer frock either requires a
great deal of trimming or an equal amount in the way of
pretty petticoats and sometimes both ere it is a success.
Have a five-gored skirt, the lower edges cut into rounding
scollops, the gores joined and the scollops finished with a band
of inch-wide Val. insertion. Add a flounce of the goods,
hemmed and tucked on the bottom and gathered four or five
times at the top ere it joins the lace. On the waist have a
round yoke of the material laid on plain, then pick it out in tabs
with lace following out the idea of the skirt, as strips radiating
from the neck, the outer edge cut into slight rounds and edged
with the lace. To this, gather a fairly full lower portion of
waist, and bring into a white ribbon belt. Make puff sleeves
confining with deep cuffs made from alternate strips of the
goods and the lace. Taken all in all, 1 think this will give better
satisfaction than any other material or stvle. It will be dainty,
becoming, and I am sure no one will ever guess its cost.
Dear Miss Dane: Will you tell me where the stamped
linens for hat and parasol covers may be bought, also about
what each cost? I can embroider with white thread very nicely,
and should like to make something for wear this summer.
Parasol.
The stamped linens may be found in any department store,
and for hats, the prices range from twenty-five cents to a dollar,
while parasol covers will cost from seventy-five cents upwards,
depending upon the quality of the linen.
Dear Miss Dane: I wish you would tell me what material
and what way to have a dress made for evening wear. Some
thing rather simple and easy to make and not to cost over $10,
making and all. Perhaps that is a hard proposition, but I do
not want to spend more than that on it. I am eighteen years
of age. am about 5 feet 2 inches tall, bust measure 36. waist 25,
hips, 42. I have rather lkdit hair and blue eyes. What color do
you think would be best for the dress if not white, or cream?
Mary C. ,
My advice would be to have a white or cream in preference
to a color, as this can be worn with equal propriety during the
aay, wnne a uencate color is not always m good taste, and,
beside, one tires of a color, I fancy. '1 hen, again, one can make
changes with colored ribbons if the gown is white.
You should get a nice, soft nun's veiling or albatross for
about 40 cents a yard, or a silk and wool crepe for about 59
cents. The latter is wider than the albatross, so that less mate
rial will be required. A Princess frock gathered about the waist
line, tucked on the bottom and topped by a lace yoke is a modVI
not difficult to follow. However, if you prefer a two-piece, make
it in seven gores with a box plait on each seam and a few pin
tucks between on each gore, hemming the bottom and trim
ming with folds or ribbon, set on in rows; the bodice made
with a small, square yoke of lace or finished separately to be
worn with a guimpc. Either finish with a baud of the goods
(cut square) covered with rows of narrow cream ribbon or
let this band connect yoke and lower portion of waist, as you
have chosen. Arrange this lower portion with box plaits, meet
ing those on skirt, and with a few pin-ti'cks between to suggest
fulness, which will be confined at the waist-line with a soft cream
ribbon belt.
Have full puff sleeves taken into band cuffs, formed by a
strip of lace outlined with the goods trimmed with the narrow
cream ribbon. Uy way of a change, line the yoke with pale blue
or shell pink and have belt or sash to match. Another time,
use pompadour ribbon for the belt, leaving the yoke transparent.
Dear Miss Dane: I am 18 years old, 5 feet tall, 34 bust, 24
waist and 3$ hips. I have a seven-gored kilt-plaited skirt-like
sample enclosed. Will you please tell me what style of jacket
will be best suited for me for spring and summer wear and
what trimming should be used. X. Y. Z.
The most becoming model will be a smart little Eton, carry
ing out the plaited idea of the skirt, thus giving you a continu
ous line-fiont shoulder to hem, and so, apparently increasing
your height.
To do this, form two side plaits on the shoulders, tapering
to the waist line, the fit rather snug in the back and straight as
to fronts. The bottom should be faced, not finished with a
band or trimming of any kind. The sleeves may be fairly full,
should be three-quarter length and end in pretty cuffs, as you
have chosen your collar. Panne velvet in reseda or dark blue
are suggestions, edged with a litle gold and white soutache. And
a narrow slip of a vest could be added, either matching the col
lar or of white kid decorated with small, gold buttons. A belt
will answer for such a vest and provide sufficient for small
cuffs, if you get a wide belt, as this will cut into two or three
slips lengthwise as needed.

A i ii THE DOGS OF THE OCEANIA Frozen North Story & & &
ONE Winter, when there was a famine along the shores of
Skidcgate Creek, there came to the village a man, his
wife and his mother-in-law.
"Go away," cried the people of the village, "we have not
food enough for .ourselves. How can we feed you?" So Stasqua,
for that was the man's name, went a few miles from the village
and built himself a hut on the shore near where the creek opened
into the ocean.
All the family had to eat was some salmon eggs, which they
had brought with them from their former home, and some pieces
of whale blubber, which they had found near the shore. The
man knew by the finding of this whale blubber that the people
in the village had cut up a whale there not long before and had
concealed the fact from him for fear that he would ask for some
of the whale flesh.
In those high, northern latitudes, where the cold is so in
tense the greater part of the year, the natives are as fond of
whale blubber and other fatty things to eat as boys and girls in
more temperate climates are of jam. So Stasqua was delighted
with his "find."
But the salmon eggs were few and the pieces of whale blub
ber were small and, altogether, they had just about enough to
keep them alive for two days when the family set up house
keeping in the hut near the mouth of the creek.
Every day Stasqua went out early in the morning and spent
hours looking for the shell fish which might be uncovered along
the beach at low tide, lie also dug for edible roots and so, for
a time, managed to keep himself and his family alive. One day,
when he was digging for roots, he heard a peculiar whining
noise and, looking behind a stump, saw two half-starved little
puppies. Whether they had wandered away from the village
and got lost, or where they came from, Stasqua had no idea ;
but he took the two poor little waifs up and carried them to
the hut where he warmed them before the lire until they began
to be lively and to play about the floor in the most cunning way.
It was short rations in the Stasqua house that day. The
sun had been up only a few hours and had sunk beneath the
horizon at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Outside it was 40 degrees
below zero, but there was not a breath of air stirring and, in
that intensely still atmosphere, you don't feel the cold as you
do when the temperature is much higher and the wind blows.
Stasqua and his family could hear the great cakes of ice
grinding against each other and the sullen roar of the wintrv
ocean. Then came a sound like that produced by a piece of silk
shaken violently a sort of crackling sound and Stasqua, look
ing out at the door, saw that the northern lights were out.
When the two puppies saw the northern lights they yelped
and wanted to go out; but Stasqua closed the door and kept
them in. Then the mother-in-law looked at the puppies and
said: "There is nothing in the house to cat and yesterday we
bad only a handful of roots."
Stasqua knew of what she was thinking, and said : "Yes.
I suppose we might kill the puppies and eat them."
But his wife said: "No, it would only prolong our lives for
a little while. I have one small piece of whale blubber which I
have been saving. It is not enough to support life for the three
of us for another day. Let us feed it to the puppies and then
let them go."
So she gave the piece of blubber to the puppies and when
they had eaten it, to the surprise of the three people who
watched them, the little dogs began to grow before their eyes
until they were as big as fox terriers. Then they rushed to the
door ami demanded, with growls and barks, to be let out.
"Poor dogs," said Stasqua. "go your way and may better
luck attend ymi than has attended me in an effort to keep you
from starving."
,rK.
Then the three people sat down by the fire, covered their
heads with blankets and were very miserable. Half an hour
passed and there came a scratching and joyous barking at the
door of the hut. Stasqua opened the door and in rushed the
two dogs, each bearing in his mouth a fresh salmon.
The two fish were cooked amid great rejoicing, and that
night the Stasqua family lay down to sleep feeling for the first
time in many moons that they had had a real meal.
The next day the dogs went fishing again, swimming far
out into the water and bringing back fish at every trip. And
every day the dogs became bigger. The second day they were
as large as bull-terriers, and the third day as big as foxhounds.
And the bigger they got the more fish and the bigger fish thev
brought home, until one day, when they had become as big as
great Danes, they went out and came back with nothing in their
mouths. But they barked and frisked around Stasqua, and kept
running back toward the shore, in a manner which plainly indi
cated that they wanted him to follow them.
Stasqua went to the shore and there saw a stranded whale
which the two dogs had caught and pulled on the beach.
The Stasqua family had not been able to eat all the fish
which the dogs had brought them and so had dried a lot of it
and now had a good store of food laid by enough to last them
until spring. So, when Stasqua saw the whale, he thought of
the starving people at the village and went to them, telling them
to come and help themselves.
So they came, very much ashamed of the manner in which
they had acted toward the man and his family when they came
begging for food, and cut up the whale. Then they took Stasqua
back to the village with them, where they gave him a good
house to live in and made him a chief.
It was dark' when they went toward the village and the
northern lights were out, just as they had been on the night
when Stasqua first brought home the puppies. As they trudged
along over the snow the dogs looked out toward the dancing
and streaming lights. Barking a good-by to Stasqua they jumped
into the creek and swam toward the ocean. They were never
seen again, but the next morning there were two islands near
the mouth of the creek which had not been there before. These
islands are there to this day, and the people along the shore
call them "Stasqua's dogs."
THE SCARED LION
"Did I ever tell you how I used an umbrella to keep a b'g'
lion fiom .eating me up?" asked Uncle Tom of little Jimmy.
"It was when I was in Africa hunting big game. I was
crossing an open place in the forest one day when I met a Eon
face to face. It was not far from camp, and so I had nothing
with me but an umbrella.
, "The lion began to creep toward me, growling horribly. Just
as he was gathering his feet under him to spring upon me, I
opened the umbrella and went for him with a yell. The lion
stopped short in surprise. Opening and shutting the umbrella, I
charged straight on him. So frightened was the lion by this
strange black, flapping thing that he turned tail and ran into
the forest. I got safely back to camp without any more adven
tures. And so if you ever meet a lion and have no gun with
you, just open your umbrella and scare him off."
POPULAR
The cats attending at the ball,
Were highly jealous one and all,
Because the man-cats had 110 eyes
Except for Miss Tabitha Slies.
The cats inquired: "Who can tell
What makes that saucy puss the belle?''
Then one went close and looked at her
And came back angry to the fur.
"That minx," cried she, "is jmt a
cheat!
She won our man-cats by deceit.
She's hung her gown with rats and
mice!
No wonder man-cats think flic's nice!"
THE MEAN THING
I bought myself an Easter gown
And took a walk through Tabby-town,
And just as soon as 1 got there
'Hie people all began to stare,
And every one, I know right well,
Admired more than she could tell,
Except that spiteful Mrs. White,
Who whispered: "Isn't she a sight!"
If Easter time had not been here
I would have scratched her, never fearl
But as it was, 1 thought: "Oh, scat!
We know she's just a real old cat!"
