' AN excellent model for a girl's chemise Is portrayed her.e and a few suggestions for Its making may be acceptable. The garment Is prettily full In front and back, being gathered at the neck'edge, which may be cut In round or square outline, as preferred. The Bhleld sleeves which many desire are provided, and may be used or not. In sizes 14 and 16 years the chemise may be gathered at the waist In corset cover and petticoat ef fect. The usual materials are em ployed, with lace or embroidery for adornment. In the medium size 2 yards of 36-inch material are needed. No. 4198 6 sizes, 6 to 16 years. A USEFUL NURSERY GARMENT, 4250. The creeping apron becomes quite In dispensable when the baby begins to travel around the' floor In his own queer fashion, for it not only protects his little dress from sollure, but also ' insures the tiny wearer against chill ing draughts. The model shown in the sketch is an excellent one for the mother's use in making this little gar ment. It is very plainly and simply fashioned, and requires absolutely no trimming. It is buttoned down the back, and about the feet is drawn in to the necessary size either with a drawstring or an elastic. Holland, gingham or flannelette are suitable for making, the latter material being the warmest for cool weather wearing. For the 1-year size 2 yards of 86 lnch goods are necessary. No, 4260 Sizes, H. 1 and 2 years. A BATHROBE FOR THT LITTLE , MAN OR MAID, 42S1. The bathrobe is as Indispensable to the Juvenile wardrobe as to that of the THE WEDDING WRDpIjio invitations are issued not later than fifteen days, and not earlier than four weeks be fore tho date set for the marriage. Circumstances and not an inflexible rule1 must be the guide with regard to the distribution of wedding invita tions. For a large church wedding, they are usually sent to all those whoso names appear on the vlBlting lists of the two families concerned. They are also posted to relatives and friends of the bride and groom who may be in mourning or traveling abroad; to the important business as sociates of the groom, and those of the bride's father. " An amiable bride can afford to offer as well a few extra in vitations to her bridesmaids and" ush ers, who may wish to ask their partlc-. ular friends or relatives to witness the ceremony. The invitation Is engraved on sheets of tine, pure white or cream-tinted pa per, having a smooth surface without glaze. From year to year the precise proportions of these sheets vary an inch ard a fraction in length and width. A good conventional size meas ures seven Inches and one-half In lengih, by six Inches and a fourth In width, and folds once to fit Its envel ; ope. Occasionally the crest of the ' bride's family or her Initials are em bossed in white in the centre at the top of the engraved sheet and also on the envelope flap; but entwined initials or armorial devices in colors, gilt edged sheets, etc., are not in good taste. Plain script Is still the preferred engraving for wedding cards, though now and then very heavy block letter ing is used, with an agreeable effect, or the old English characters. An order to the slationer for wed ding Invitations includes not only the envelopes into which the engraved sheets are iolded, but larger and less expensive ones into which the first are slipped. The first envelope is not I sealed; on it is inscribed only the name of the guest for whom It Is Intended. The second is sealed and stamped and bears the complete address of the per ' son for whom It is intended. When soivling wedding cards it is not per mitted to make a single invitation serve for an entire household by the economical device of a general addresf like "Mr. and Mrs. Brown and family." If the heads of the house and their unmarried sons and daughters are bid den, one invitation Is sent addressed In tills form: "Mr. and Mrs. rown," on addressed : "The Misses Brown." and a third addressed to "The Messrs. Brown." All three invitations, each in its proper envelope, are for posting enclosed in a single envelope which is addressed In fuil to the mntron of the family, ,as "Mrs. John L. Brown."

Any sort of an eruption indicates dis order beneath the skin, and should be regarded as a danger signal. Further more, aside from mere questions of health, the Loy or girl who has an unsightly eruption on the face and Is neglected, generally develops Into a sloven in later years, careless as to personal appearance, dress and man ners, and who can blame him for slid ing into a veritable slough of de spond? Eruptions indicate various Internal ailments impoverished blood, indiges tion and mal-assimilation of food, kidi ney disease and bad blood, In which some decided disease germ lurks. The child should first be tuken to a physi cian anfl the cause of the eruption ascertained, and properly, scientifically treated. It is not within my province to Bet forth any regime of medicine in this column, but I would like to make some general suggestions for the diet. Anyone afflicted with a skin eruption should drink quantities of cool, not Iced water, between meals. Start the day -by drinking a big glassful before breakfast, and uurlng the day that is between breakfast and lunVh, and lunch and dinner drink at least eight glasses more. The last thing before re tiring, drink a glass of very hot water with unhwoetened lemon Juice In It, S Eat quantities of oranges, three or four a day If you can afford it. Avoid all pork, veal and rich pastries, and eat as much rare, lean beef as your purse will permit Eat dry toasted bread or Zwelback Instead of hot bis cuits and pancakes. Substitute lemon ii J Old Fashioned Pie Recipes i? & DO you believe In pies?" asked a prim-looking student of an up-to-date conking teacher. "Yes," responded the teacher prompt ly, "for those who can digest them." And the philosophy of a pie diet lies in her answer. Pies will not hurt the man or woman who has a perfect di gestion and leads an active life, par ticularly the active, outdoor life. They are lead on the stomach of the man or woman who lives a sedentary life and who has never known what per fect health la. And as there are many men and women, in cities and out side, who have good digestions, despite the prevalence of nervous prostration and predlgested health foods, why not give them an occasional pie as a spec ial treat? begin to acquire habits. These may be good habits or had ones, according as the mothers are sensible or the reverse. If the mother of an Infant or its grandmother or aunt or nurse rocks, bounces or nurses it every time it ories, It almost Immediately notices the con nection between the two things, and so a bad habit is formed. If, on the con trary, a deliberate effort 1b made to teach It good habits,1 It will acquire them Just as qulokly and cling to them Just as tenaciously. During Its flrsfc few months a healthy Infant should be fed regularly every two hours from daylight until 11 P. M. Then it should be put to bed and kept there, without food, until 5 o'clock the next morning. In the case of a baby that has been fed, every time It cries, the Inauguration of this regime will almost certainly bring forth heart breaking protests. The first night, for Instance, it will yell most plteously and so, too, the second and third nights. But after that U will go to Bleep when it Is put to bed, and sleep without In terruption until daylight. And when It does that It will have acquired a habit that is healthful and normal, and one that'wlll conduce to its good health to the end of its life. The babywhlch sleeps by fits and starts and must be walked up and down the floor is a baby with an unwise mother. If you don't believe that, pay a visit some night to an up-to-date maternity hospital,' wherein skilled nurses take the place of meddlesome grandmothers. There may be fifty babies in the place, but except among those who are vldlently 111 you will never hear a sound between midnight and dawn. The connection between bad habits and illness Is obvious. The baby which frets and fumes is constantly wasting Its energy and losing its proper rest. Its power of resistance Is thus" lowered, and when the germs of disease assail It, It falls an easy victim. The serene and good-tempered child, which has been taught to eat and sleep with regularity, Is almost invariably healthy. And the child which has a mother sensible enough to teach It good habits almost always has a mother sensible enough, too, to protect it from "pacifiers" and to feed it upon appropriate and clean food. , ' RAGS Do not employ old stockings for holders to be used around the stove unless you 6over them with ticking.

' If you have what you call a "muggy" complexion and many young people And that a most expressive term bear In mind that your night ablutions are the most Important of the day. Allow plenty of time to prepare for sleep, and make sure that the skin which has been subjected all day to dust, grime, wind, etc., Is thoroughly cleansed. I am giving here a treatment for plmpres, acne, blackheads and generally muddy conditions of the skin, which are the most common skin aliments. . Have plenty of not water at" your command1, soft towels (old table cloths or napklnr are even better), a deep, enameled basin, and what Is known as a comedone extractor, which Is shaped not unlike a watch key and Is used for pressing out black heads and opening pimples. Start your nightly ablutions by re moving every trace of grime from your face and neck by the use of cleansing cream made as follows: Orange flower water, 4 ounces; oil of sweet almonds, 4 ounces; white wax, 2 ounces. Melt the wax and oil In a double boiler. Remove from the fire and beat In the orange flower water. Beat until cool. Keep in stone ars, not in tin. Apply this with a rotary movement with the tips of the fingers. When It Is thoroughly worked into the skin, wipe off with a piece of old lnen or toweling, and you will be shocked at the . grime which has been driven Into the pores of your skin.

Once a week steam your face over a basin of boiling water. Fill your deep basin with the water after It comes to a boil, bend over the basin und have some member of the family wrap a thick towel over your head and shoulders to prevent the escape of the steam, Wjhich should open the pores of your skin. Pat the face dry, and then with a comedone extractor re move any blackheads or press the yel low matter out of the pimples. Then massage the face with massage cream as follows- Rosewater, 4 ounces; almond oil, 4 ounces; spermaceti, 1 ounce; white wax, 1 ounce. The addition of 1 dram of tincture of benzoin will insure the cream from becoming rancid, and It should be kept In small Jars that can be tightly closed to exclude the air. Remove all the cream from the face, bathe with toilet water, powder very lightly with the best grade of rfce powder and your skin will feel de lightfully cool and refreshed. This treatment must not be spas modic. It will do no good to wash your face one night and go to bed the next with the pores filled with grime.

After the parts are Joined, slip another tape through the same bands, and tie It up above the frac ture; thus, with all their strength, the bands pull the break together. The bands can be used thus on casts or china; In fact, to hold together any thing mendable. In glass-mending, the greater the pressure the better, If only it stops short of the breaklng-polift.- Properly made, the isinglass cement Is as clear as water. When the pieces fit true one on the other, the break should bo hardly visible, If the pressure has been great enough to force out the tiny air-bubbles, which otherwise re fract the light, and make the line of cleavage distressingly apparent.
