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.

P.O..
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.

& & A Popular Neighbor &
npo be a popular neighbor It Is quite
I necessary to be an amiable, ap
' proachable and dependable member
of the locality in wnicn you live. iuu
cannot afford to be'only self-interested;
you must not deplore the expenditure
of time and attention given to the task
of placing yourself on the most agree
able footing with all those who live
nearly about your home, and you
should not make the mistake of accept
ing one fellow-resident as a comrade
and refusing even to notice another, be
cause you consider that the former Is
your social equal and the latter Is not
exactly one of the first families In the
country-side.
tn setting out to make yourself a
genuinely popular neighbor, let It be
one of your most fixed and valued rules
that you hot only accept but very glad
ly Invite the acquaintance of every res
ident In your vicinity, whether they are
the children of Colonial Dames or the
humblest ot newly arrived emigrants
from Europe.
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." Is an appe
tizing dish that Is easily prepared As
follows;
Orlades Take two pounds of beef
(the bottom round, If possible), slice
thin, trim ofT all the fat and cut In
pieces about the siie of the Inside of
your hand. Put one spoonful bf lard
In a saucepan. When the lard Is hot
drop your meat, which must be first
properly washed, in the hot lard, add a
little salt, black pepper and cayenne,
cover the sauoppnn and let tho meat
stew, or rather boll, for the juice of
the mat will boll out; stir occasion
ally nnd let all the Julco of the meiit
boll nut; when It begins to jrot dry mlr
It till It browns. When It is of a nloe
brown color sprinkle In the saucepan
about one teaspoonful of tlour; when
that Is brown move It off the hot fire
so that It will not burn and add thri'e
or four good-slued onions sliced, and
three or four large tablespootif tils of
tomatoes. Let It all smother with the
