T" . r i 1 t 1 i . ! ! ! 1 : i I Mr 111 1 i 11 vd i r. : ; , - f . 9J . imitthy'- "1 S97fa i ' 1 I THE charming blouse (5973) here pictured is built on the most graceful lines and capable of de velopment in most of the seasonable fabrics. The front is modlshly full and is gathered to yoke. A fancy bolero of heavy lace forms part of the design, but may be omitted if desired. It Is caught to the waistline in the back by large ornamental buttons, which are also used In the decoration of the front and turn back cuffs. Heavy rajah silk, with lace to match, would be extremely stylish, but sev eral other materials, such as cashmere, broadcloth, taffeta, linen and pongee, would all be appropriate. For 86 Inches bust measure 3 yards of 36 inch material will be required. Ladies' Waist. No. IiilT.1. Sle for !, .11, 8, 33, 40 ana 43 Inch bust measure. An exceedingly attractive girl's frock is pictured in a smart development of blue and green plaid. These bright plaids always show to better advan tage when worn over a dainty white guimpe. If preferred, a guimpe of China silk, matching some shade In the plaid, could be worn. The waist blouses prettily all around, and the deep pleat in Gibson style that extends out over the shoulders, renders the mode especially becoming. . Albatross, challis, pongee, cashmere, linen and gingham are all adaptable. For a girl of 8 years, 3 yards of 36-lnoh material Will be required. Girl's Dress. No. 6051. Slies for 0, 8, 10 and 11 years. Here Is a smart variation of 'the popular Russian modes, and it is to be commended for simplicity and good style. It Is shown In a development of white flannel, the edges piped with bright blue. The closing Is on the right side, and a belt' of the material is ar ranged around the Waist, passing through straps at the sides. The sleeves are In sailor style, laid in stitched pleats at the wrist. A shield and standing collar are supplied, but may be omitted for warm weather. Little trousers of the material are worn underneath. They are gathered at the knee, the fulness being held In place by an elastic. Pique, linen, ging ham, cloth and velveteen are all rec ommended for the making. For a child of 4 years, 2 yards of 44-inch material will be required. Little Boys Suit. No. BROS. Rises for il, 4 and 8 years. This modish little over-waist (6977) Is decidedly chic, and one of the new est of the season. It is In hydrangea blue crepe de chine, and Is worn over an underblouse of net. Two deep tucks at each side of the front give width to the figure and render the front becom ingly full.. The sleeves are quite unique In their turned back corners, caught down with buttons. They are modified In kimono style. A waist of this description could be successfully made from foulard, taffeta, chllton broadcloth, and voile. For 38 Inches & il Beautifying the Nose & & A very common trouble, and one very difficult to remove, Is a red nose. Many of my correspondents seem to be thus burdened. The causes of this particular disorder are many. It comes fron- ex posure to cold, excesses In eating and drinking, Indigestion and constipation, .Jany times It Is hereditary, and when such is the direct cause it is almost Impossible to conquer It. P or circu lation is another means of causing the red nose. Needless to say that you should look well Into the "why and wherefores" before attempting any ex ternal cures, for nine cases out of ten the trouble Is an Internal one. The skin of noses which become red Is apt to be very delicate, and may be toughened by the use of water and cologne, mixed in equal parts. This application also helps to reduce any oily or greasy condition that may exist. Itemember that massage wiU stimulate the vessels and help them to do their duty, and always work downward to ward the tip of the nose. A famous lotion that can be applied to the nose at night which Is said to reduce red neBS and enlargement Is made as fol 1 ws: One drachm of muriate of ammonia, one-half drachm of tannic acid, two ounces of glycerine and three ounces of rosewater. The muriate of am monia and tannic acid should be dis solved In the glycerine, the rosewater added last. Saturate a piece of ab sorbent cotton with this lotion and bind it on the nose every night until some result is shown. If you are troubled with dilated vel i In the nose a very good lotion, that can be used frequently during the day is found below. This lotion can be used at the same time that 'he nightly com presses are bound on, using it during the day. It has been used wlta great success by many: Eau (de guimauve (Mallow's), 200 grammes! benzoate of soda, 6 grammes; glycerine, 20 grammes; alcohol, 10 grammes. This Is the prescription that Is recommended by a famous Russian beauty for dilated veins. Remember that these outward appli cations will be of little benefit to you until you have looked well at the inter nal causes. Sometimes trouble with your big toe will cause the veins of the nose to dilate; so will cold feet, and It Is often caused by acidity of the stomach. Drinking hot water In lib eral quantities will relieve the trouble at times. If you have a throbbing sen sation In the nose this can be greatly relieved by taking a teaspoonful of sulphate of soda In a cup of boiling water, drunk a half hour or more be fore breakfast. Take this every morn ing for a couple' of weeks. It Is a per fectly harmless dose and often regu lates your digestion. And again lot me remind you always bathe the red or dilated nose In very hot water. WHAT IT MEANT Senator Dubois of Idaho, Is a bitter foe to Mormonlsm. In Aurora, 111., he said recently: "Mormonlsm, with its attendant po lygamy, is, look at it how you will, a bad thing, a hopeless thing as bad and hopeless as the case of Jacob Smlthers." Senator Dubois smiled. " Jacob E'mithers, criminal," he went oh. "sat In his cell making paper-boxes when a dear old lady looked through the peephole In the door Inquisitively. " 'You poor man,' said the old lady, 'I guess you'll be glad when your time Is up, won't you?' " 'Wall, no'm, not particularly,' Jacob Smlthers answered. 'I'm In fur. life." " POPULARITY AND ITS KERNEL THE very kernel of the secret of popularity In friendship lies In 1 controlling an inclination to pick others to pieces. The loneliest and most discontented of men fs that one who can quickly, easily and very amusingly tear a now acquaintance to tatters. He sees everybody's small faults and fallings and little vanities In an instant, and not only does he see them, but he takes a great and false delight In pointing them out to othors, laughing at them, or severely condemning them Many acquaintances has ho, but not one friend. He Is far too sharp and cruel a critic, and we wh.i know him fear him. We have a very uncomfort able feeling that he makes merry ut our expense when our backs are turned and we are never ready to give him our confidence. On the other hand, we grow to love his very opposite, who follows a far saner, sweeter, surer way of winning men and women. She rarely or never criticises her acquaintances. If she finds' Miss B. dull and Mrs. A. con ceited and Mr. C. pompous and Ill bred, she does not dwell upon these defects. Instead, if Mrs. A.'s name is mentioned, she comments heartily on the beauty of that lady's face and will tell you that Miss B. has the sweetest disposition and that she knows Mr. C. to be a wonderful whlst-player. Her charity is a charm and a habit that inspires trustfulness, Just as a crueV hypercritical faculty Is a habit that forces us all Into mistrust, and it is a habit that anyone of us cart easily control if we will but see how greatly Its Indulgence Injures our chances for winning happiness and friends. Should you not possess the pleasant faculty of speaking kindly of people you can at least treat their faults with considerate Btlence.

State., AMONG the many toys designed each year, nothing has yet appeared that has so won the hearts ot the children as the Teddy bear. It Is so soft and comfy to hug and pet that It has almost displaced the much-loved doll. Even Mttle Goldieloeks, of story book fame, would not run away from the cute "we-wee' bear shown In the illustration, and would willingly share her porridge with him. When purchased In the shops Master Bruin Is a very expensive little fellow, but by carefully following the directions- given with the pattern, It can easily be made at home. It Is usually made of bear cloth, and may be filled with sawdust, bran, cotton or excel sior. The soles of the feet and Inside of the hands may be made of chamois or pieces of old kid gloves, and black beads or shoe buttons will serve nicely for eyes. The nose, mouth and toe nails are simulated by taking over and over stitches with heavy black thread. A more reallstlo appearance Is given the nose by dipping the end In melted sealing wax, either black or brown. The pattern comes In three sizes, and for the medium size V, yard of 44-lnch material will be required. . Teddy Bear. No. 5713. Sixes for 12, in and 18 Inches.

Among these, ot course, you will Se lect your Intimates, and many ot them will always remain merely, the most formal of acquaintances, but do not live In Ignorance of the tact that so Soon as a man or woman becomes your neighbor, whether he Is a millionaire or a coal-heaver, he will like you very I much better and very much sooner be cause you hail him first on meeting, and hail him, moreover, In a markedly friendly fashion. i Let the fact that he Is your neighbor give him a particular claim on your in terest and civility, and do not be In clined to hang back Overlong to discuss and weigh the necessity of making the first advances when negotiating neigh borly feeling between your own house hold and that of the Blnnks, which has recently, we will say, been established just across the road or actually next door to you. Never take Into profound considera tion the fact that the Blanks are strangers and wholly unknown In your vicinity and to your friends; that they appear to be neither beautiful nor In teresting, rich nor socially attractive. Do not wait to see how the other neighbors will receive them or what kind of an appearance they will make at church on Sunday, or whether they prdmlse to Introduce a pleasant or un pleasant element Into the society In which you move. All these possibilities you must Ignore and only remember that, it you are aspiring to win popu larity, as a neighbor it is both your duty and your privilege to prove to the Blanks that you know how to give them a kindly welcome. DON'T GIGGLE C IVB way easily and heartily to a cheerful and aproptlate expres ' slon of mirth, smile readily and frequently, but, as you hope to prove yourself a graceful conversationalist, do not become the victim of the little, expressionless, . Involuntary laugh. Though .you are as learned as Lord Bacon and as witty as. Mark Twain, you can still destroy all the Social value of your mental attainments by chuckling, tittering, or convulsively gultawlng at short, regular Intervals and Without sufficient provoking Causx. Th fixed reiteration of a little laugh Is not only a mirthless but a positively, irritating sound, and It Is nothing more than a nervous Indulgence, which, by Die expenditure of a trifling amount of will-power, can be and should bo controlled. TABLE ETIQUETTE By. the handling' of their knives, forks and spoons are young people of ten Judged. There are two ways of holding a fork, and two only. First, If you are cutting meat or' anything that requires the Use of both knife and fork, you turn the fork with the points downward, holding It On the upper pirt of the handle, never tn the middle or near the prongs. The knife must also be held near the end of the handle. If you are using your fork to raise food to your Hps, then It must be turned over with the prongs upward. ' If you are eating from the fork, peas, pota toes, or any other vegetables (and Just now nearly all vegetables are eaten with a fork instead of a spoon), you must take them from the side of the fork, never, never thrusting the end of the fork Into your mouth. Balad is cut with the -Ida of the fork and then eaten from the side of the fork. Fish, soft entries, and, In fact, any thing that does not absolutely demand tht) use of a knife, ar separated Into small pieces by the use of the fork, which IS most excellent, as the knife, at Its best, Is a most ungainly utensil. Never mash your food with your fork and never sit with your fork or knife upraised, like a telegraph pole. When not in use, either knife or fork must be laid oh the plate at one side. Never tilt your fork arid knife on the sldr-s of your plate, that Is with the handle on the tablecloth on either side and the tips on the edge of the plate. Every time a course Is removed, lay the knife, fork or spoon used In the eating it on the side of the plate. Do not ernes' knife and fork on the plate, but Iny them side by side. In eating soup, custard, fruit, or any dish which dninand a ppoon. be sure you sip the food noiselessly from the side of the spoon, never from th tip. Never dip your Individual fork or spoon Into a dish that is passed to you, bul always employ the fork or spoon wlit'l will be found on the tray beside Hit dish, or on the dish itselt j CREOLE RECIPES Rice Is such a substantial and , ealthy vegetable, and yet when served just plain boiled the men In the family generally say, "No, thank you." Some time try the following for a change and see what they will soy: Creole Rice Wasn one-half cup of rice and cook In a double boiler until tender. Lay two good-sized pieces of bacon Into a hot frying pun and co-'c to a crisp, but do not burn. Add to these drippings half an onion sliced fine, and brown, then add half a or of tomatoes and the rice, season with cay enne pepper and salt and stew together until It has all blended. A very popular dish of beef, known In the South as "Qrladus."
