T5he Marjorie Dane HOY'S "BUSTER BROWN" SI' IT IW02. Unquestionably the blouse suit Is the favorite one for little boys and very charming and attractive It Is. This one Is shown in blue linen and Is just as smart and becoming as It Is simple and easily made. It would, however, be pretty in galatea or In kahki, In ginff lium or In any similar material of llie sturdier, washable sort, and also in serge and the like for immediate wear. White serge and white linen make charming little suits for dressy occa sions while the dark colors are much to be commended for play and hard usage. The suit is made with the blouse and the knickerbockers. The blouse Is tucked to give a broad box plait effect at both front and back and Is closed In visibly at the right of the front. The fi', le'aves are full,, tucked lat the wrists, "iind the blouse is held In place by l'.ieans of a belt. The knickerbockers are of the regulation sort, comfortably full and drawn up by means of elastic inserted in the hems. The quantity of material required for the medium size (6 years) is 4 yards 27, 3 yards 32 or 2 yards 44 inches wide. The pattern 6302 is cut in sizes for boys of 4, 6, and 8 years of age. CHILD'S DRF.SS twos. The one piece dress is so eminently desirable for simple materials and especially for the washable ones that every mother is on the outlook for a Miss Dane's Answers to Home Sewers, Dear Miss Dane: I am a young girl lb'i years bid, have very dark hair, brown eyes, fair complexion, with very little color In my face, but am freckled. My measurements are: Bust 38, waist 26, hips 38, height 6 feet. You see I am very heavy, but am I proportioned? I thought of getting white, some thing like enclosed sample, and making Into a skirt and Jacket.- Is such material wofn now? Would It be better to have a thin, white dress? Would a black and white shepherd's plaid made in jumper style be becoming? How should the Bklrt be made? How should I . wear my hair? It Is very thin in front and as it is straight and fine, . It is hard for me to dress it becom ingly. My face Is small, with rather a pointed chin. What are by suc cessful colors? G. K. You are not very tall, but you are otherwise proportionate. I like the enclosed sample of white very much, and should like it developed in a pony coat model. My Idea would be a 7 gored skirt with an Inverted box pleat on each seam stitched in slot seam ef fect down over the hips, the bottom finished with a hem. The material Is so pretty andyof so good a quality that no trimming will be necessary. With this, wear a fine white lingerie blouse, and a natty little coat in pony style, relieved with a separte cotlar of pale blue linen trimmed on its edge with rows of whole soutache braid and have cuffs to match. This would be a emart street toilet and- an embroid ered linen hat would make it complete. Thin white dresses are very nice for best wear, of ceurse, but the heavier linens are being revived this year and more linen suits than lingerie frocks are seen for general wear. , In regard to the shepherd's plaid; personally, I think these more becom ing to slight figures, or tall ones, than the opposite, although, if it were quite a small check, there could be no ob jection to It. The skirt could be side pleated at each gore and the Jumper fit the shoulders smooUily, confining the fulness at the waist line with a narrow black belt. The top could be scalloped or be finished with a plain black band. The sleeves should be on the slashed order with" edgings of black and the guimpe of lingerie. Thin, straight hair is the most diffi cult kind to dross successfully, you shou'.d try waving it with kid curlers tir some other harmless device. Then try dressing it pompadour over a "rat" and tying in the nape of the neck with a broad ribbon, that will be visible when viewed from the front. This will suggest breadth at the lower portion of your face. You can wear all shades of red, also cray, golden brown, tan, light and dark blue, fawn, old rose, pale pink, cream and ivory. Pretty Hands for LET the housekeeper sit down quiet ly in the little room that she has cleaned so spotlessly, and spend an hour every day making her hands presentable. It will pay her a hundred fold. Use only the pure soap, and that not very often. Have on your wash stand some almond meal,, and throw some of that In the warm water, which will help to soften the skin. I you have stains on your finger tips, the best thing is a lemon, cut In halves and rub bed well on the spots. At night when retiring, have an old pair of kid gloves a couple of sizes too large for you and wear them, first spreading the hands with the following paste, which can be made at home, or compounded by your local druggist: Myrrh (povAlered), 1 ounce; Honey (strained), 4 ounces; Yellow Wax, 2 ounces; Rosewater, 6 ounces. Melt the yellow wax in a double boiler, and when it is very hot add the powdered myrrh. Beat these thoroughly together, add the honey and rosewater and enough glycerine, drop by drop, to make It a smooth paste. Women as a rule do not dry the hands sufficiently. Wash the hands in warm water, add to this a te'r drops of benzoin, or a dash oftalmond meal, use the pure nnscented soap and dry them . thoroughly. Then rub on the above pomade, massaging it well Into the skin until it Is quite dry again. Through the day you will be much aided If you will wear a pair of rubber gloves, wkich can be procured at almost any drg store, . however small, and which are very Inexpensive. These will protect your hands even when scrub bing. If you cannot get these the next best thing Is to wear a pair of old kid gloves when doing your heavy work, like sweeping, making fire, setting out Woman's Home s Patterns and Consulting Dressmaker's Bureau new and fresh design. Here Is a very dainty and altogether attractive model that can be utilized either for the-tiny boys or for t..c girls up to fix years of age, and which Is . Just as charming as well can be. There is the sailor collar which is always becoming and there are roll-over cuffs that can be Dear Miss Dane: Would you please advise me what to get for summer? I must hfeve something in the coat line, and would like one I could wear with shirtwaist suits, also pretty summer dresses. Also what kind of a hat would you ad vise me to get? What color would you think I could wear with suc cess? Height 6 feet 6 inches, bust 33 inches, waist 26 Inches, hips 36, age 25: brown hair, blue-gray eyes (more on the blue), quite light complexion, inclined to be a little sallow. My face is quite slim, fore head 3 inches up, my eye s are large! What are my becoming colors? Kindly advise me what you would suggest me to get, for I do not exactly know what I want myself. S. A. For all-around wear there 1b noth ing equal to a good black peau de sole long, loose coat. It Is light, sheds dust easily, does not crack like taffeta and, being black, will be In harmony with the gown worn. The coat should fit the shoulders and be full In the skirts, or the conventional model may be followed in Empire style. Full sleeves and an added collar and cuff set of white linen will finish a hand some coat. Pongee silk nitty be chosen if preferred to the peau de sole, but not In the natural shades, as this is very trying to a sallow complexion. Brown and navy blue are good. Peau de sole has; however, this advantage, that It Is a material equally appropriate f )r day or evening, summer or winter wear. Pongee, some way, suggests summer wear only. A hat In rich golden straw trimmed with black velvet ribbon and deep American Beauty roses or rich corn flower shades will become you, the color to be chosen depending upon the tones of the rest of your costume. The mushroom or any large shape will be come you. I hope this will reach you In time, but all letters are answered in the or der in which they are received. Dear Miss Dane: Please tell me what color you would call my hair. You will find a sample enclosed; and also, as I am short and thick set, what kind of a jacket could I wear, and kindly give my most be coming colors. My eyes are blue, with good complexion. Mrs. F. H. S. The sample of hair is brown with glints of gold in it. An Eton coat would become you, if a short one Is desired. A second becoming model is that covering the hips, tight fitting at back and the sides and :sralght front closing single breasted, cutaway on lower front edges or not. The Eton may have full sleeves in three-quarter length, the cutaway should have sleeves in conventional coat shape. Becoming colors are all shades of blue, also gray, wine red, palest pink, cream, Ivory, old rose, mauve, green, Housekeepers summer plants, gardening, etc. Have these gloves comfortable ar.d large, ar.d it is well to rub on a little of the po made before putting them on even in the daytime. All these things seem a great many, but in reality only con sumes a few moments, and once you get In the habit of it you will never notice the minutes spent in this way. Sometimes you will find an oveizeal ous housewife who has neglected her hands until the skin has cracked. Pure mutton tallow may cure this, but mut ton tallow does not agree with every skin, and In that case the following po made should be made up and rubbed well into the skin two or three times a day: Take 1 ounce of cocoa butter and 1 ounce of oil of sweet almonds; 1 drachm of oxide of zinc; 1 drachm of borax and 6 drops of oil of bergamot. Heat the cocoa butter and oil of al monds In a double boiler, then add the oxide of zinc and the borax. Take oft the fire and stir gently until it cools, and add the oil of bergamot. This is a very healing pomade and in connection with the paste will soon effect a cure. . Ten I.euionmle. Put a tablespoonful of tea into a pitcher and iour on a quart of freshly boiling water. Cover and let it steep for about ten minutes. Then strain into a bowl or large lem onade pitcher. Add the Juice of six lemons and two oranges and sugar to taste you will probably want consider able. Put In sufficient ice to make cold and fill up the bowl or pitcher with appollnaris. Orange Tea. Put a generous slice of orange, with t.he peel and a few drops of Juice into each cup and then pour on the freshly made tea used for this. i No sugar is used or omitted as liked and there are Perplexed About Many golden brown, yellow and black. Iar Miss Dane: I have been reading your advice to others and . would be very grateful for a few suggestions for myself. I am 22 years old, 5 feet 8 Inches high, 23 waist, 33 bust, 38 hips, dark hair, dark eyes, dark complexion, with little or no color. What are my colors? I am to be married In June and would like to be married In a suit. Would the enclosed sam ple do and how should I have It made? I have a suit, with pony coat and would not care for an other. What kind of waist and hat will I wear? Should I wear any flowers? What would be proper for a bridesmaid to wear. Bride. You will find the sample of pale tan becoming and ft is exceedingly appro priate for a traveling suit to be mar ried In. My idea would be a princess frock made to wear with separate guimpe and a fancy, fussy short Eton bolero.

The few and inexpensive instruments that are needed will be money well in vested. First e pair of slender curved scissors. It will pay you to get the best steel, as they are always sharp. Next a dozen emery boards, which only cost a few cents; a blunt pointed (not sharp) nail cleaner; a chamois polisher and a few orange sticks, and you will have all that is necessary to keep your nails well manicured. Take a glass or china bowl and make a nice warm suds, soaking the finger tips In this until the skin and nall are soft. It is a mistaken idea that cutting the nails is not good for them, and Indeed, I have seen more nails harmed than otherwise with constant filing. Trim your nails with the curved scissors, following the natural line of the finger for your shape do not point them, and with the rough side of the emery board rub off all the ragged edges. Amusing Stories Alfred H. Love, the peace advocate, had been protesting In Philadelphia against the great quantity of military features in preparation for the James town exposition. "Really," he concluded with a smile, "one would think that the whole world was animated and kept progressing by a spirit of hatred and revenge and bit ter enmity. One would think that but perhaps you know the story. ' "A pale, wan woman, on her death ffed, said in a week voice to her hus band: . " 'Henry, If I die, promise me c thing." Page s the long lines that are so satisfactory. In the lllus'ratlon Diue linen cnambray Is trimmed with wli'lte embroidery and held by large pearl buttons, but all the materials that are used for chil dren's dresses are appropriate. For Immediate wear light weight wools are well liked and shepherd's checks are peculiarly attractive while later all the linen and cotton fabrics will be In de mand. The dress Is made with fronts and back. There Is a box plait at the centre front and one at the centre back together with outward turning plaits at each side thereof. The sailor collar la quite novel and is joined to the neck at the back, under the box plaits at the front and there Is a belt which con fines the fulness at the waist line. The sleeves are tucked at their lower edg.s and can be left plain or finished with cuffs as liked. The quantity of material required for the medium size (4 years) is 4ty yards 27, 3 yards 36 or 3 yards 44 Inches wide with 314 yards of Insertion and 2 yards of edging to trim as illustra ted. , The pattern 5608 Is cut in sizes for children of 2, 4 and 6 years of age. On receipt of ten cents either pattern will be mailed to any address by Mar jorie Dane, 44 East Twenty-third street, New York City. TO AVOID DELAY, DO NOT FAIL TO STATE SIZK OF PATTEHN DESIRED. Matters of Dress match, joined at the waist line with a broad belt of lacethe same color as the' gown. The coat could be copied from any pretty model and have a handsome lace collar and cuffs ecru, their edges overlaying a strip of gold en brown velvet ribbon edged with a frill of narrow ecru lace. The guimpe could be of soft white messallne silk tucked and trimmed with a little lace. Your hat, I think, should be all white, or else entirely the shade of the gown. A little chip hat trimmed with whito ribbon mallngB and white lilac would be pretty, or ecru straw and plumes to match. Youp gloves will be white, your foot wear tan color, and you wll carry white flowers. Supposing ; you do not care for the Princess dress, then have a pleated skirt tucked on the bottom, a blouse of fine, glossy messallne silk trimmod with lace, and the short, nat ty little .Kton. The belt should be of the messallne, other accessories as be fore suggested. You can wear reds, yellow, brown, tan, pale pink, light and dark blue, old rose, cream and ivory. miniature are of a very attractive collar and designs can be easily transferred, and ten Neat and Pretty: Finger Nails The next thing Is to attend to the cuticle, which is the skin that forms at the base of the nail. Put a little cold cream on each nail, and with the blunt edge of your orange stick push this skin back towards the linger. If it has grown very tight, it will be necessary to loosen it with a cuticle knlfs or some blunt pointed instrument, and then use the orange stick afterwards. Do as little cutting as possible around the cuticle, as you will produce hang nails and ragged and swollen edges, Now wash the fingers well and dry them, applying a coat of colored paste, and over that put a little of the polish ing powder and polish olt with the chamois polisher. A good paste Is made up of 1 drachm of line powdered car mine; 2 drachms of pure fresh lard; 24 drops of oil of bergamot and 12 drops of essence of Cyprus. Beat all these lngerdients together and heat theirf in a double boiler, stirring until It be becomes a smooth paste.

Never play with your knives, forks or glasses, but cultivate repose at the table. It Is an aid to digestion. Never tuck your napkin into your vest, yoke or collar: It is unfolded once and laid across the knees without a flourish. After the meal, at a restau rant or formal dinner, lay It unfolded at your plate. If you are a time guest In the household and will remain an other meal, you may fold the napkin in Its original creases Never put the end of a spoon Into your mouth, sip everything from the side of the spoon, and do this noise lessly. " Never put your knife In your mouth nor use a spoon when a fork will serve. Forks are now used for eating ice cream, and salad Is folded or cut with the side of a fork, never with the knife, Even small vegetables, like peas, are eaten with a fork. Never hold your knife and fork up In the air, when your host Is serving you afresh. Lay them on one side of the plate when you send It to the host by servant or your neighbor at table, Never leave your spoon In coffee or tea cup. Lay it on the saucer. Never cool food by blowing upon It, Walt until it becomes cool enough to eat. Never take a second helping at a large and formal dinner. You will find yourself eating alone. Never make yourself conspicuous In any. way by aiding the host or hostess in serving, unless especially asked to do so, or in passing dishes when servants-are provided for that purpose. Never push back your plate and fin ger crumbs at tne conclusion or tne meal. It Indicates undue haste. ' Remember that: Large pieces of bread or cracker are broken Into smaller pieces before be ing buttered and carried to the mouth. Cake may be broken and eaten like bread or crackers or it may be oaten with a fork. Berries, melons, and grape-fruit must be eaten with a spoon. Orange Juice may be pressed out with a spoon, ba nanas are generally eaten with a fork, peaches, apples and pears are pealed, acid; Y, ounce of fine powdered starch, and 15 drops of tincture of carmine. Scrub the fingers once more and dry well; ' Now take the orange stick once more and look over the nails well, cleaning out. any powder that Is left by dipping the orange stick In a little lemon Juice or aromatic ammonia. Give a final polish to then by rubbing the nails of one hand with the fleshy part of the other. With a little practice and slow work at the beginning you will find tnat you will become quite expert with your left hand. It is only neces sary to use the polishing paste and powder once or twice a week, as the light rubbing with the chamois polisher will be found sufficient for every day care. Any woman endowed with average common sense, and some adaptability, can become her own manicure, and a very successful one, within a few weeks, and a pretty, well-kept hand Is a feature that no woman can afford to disregard. tacked the modern mother of society, the. mother who neglects her children.

By a man acknowledging a woman's bow, tha hat must be lifted and the head slightly Inclined. Profound and elaborate bows, accompanied by broad smiles or any gesture, are to be avoided. , Under no circumstances can gentleman refuse to return a wom an's bow. Having; the Initiative In this matter, she may bow or not as she pleases, but ones clearly refused a sal utation by a woman acquaintance, the man so treated should thereafter, by refusing to look her way, deprive her of an opportunity for a repetition of the discourtesy. A man lifts his hat as well as bows In recognizing clergymen or disting uished or elderly gentlemen of his ac quaintance. To msn of his own age and position he offers but a nod, a slight smile, or a wave of the hand, unless he Is accompanied by" a lady, when, whether she Is or Is not known to his frionds, he raises his hat. When walking with a woman and she salutes friends oif acquaintances, he also raises his hat, whether the persons to whom she bows are known to him or not; the raising of the hat is not accompa nied by a bow when he does not know them. When passing a masculine ac quaintance of his own age and social position who is accompanied by a woman, a man lifts his hat, even though he does not know the lady. Ac cording to the recent practice, a man never permits himself to talk to a woman with his head covered; but the more rational rule now Is to lift the hat when approaching to talk to a woman ojut-of -doors, slowly, replace it and then lift It gain as one with draws. , A man lifts his hat when of fering a woman his seat In a public conveyance, as already noted; when drawing to one side In a narrow way to allow her free passage; when giving any Information she may ask; when restoring ' anything fallen from her hands, or when doing her some slight service. He also lifts it when a wom an under his escort receives some cour tesy from a stranger. Coovrmatlons la the (Street.
