A smart American woman who has lived in Paris for 10 years said last night at a dinner in her big white villa near Paris where one of the present Queens has recently been entertained, that the fashions of the moment were well carried out by turning all one's skirt from the front to the back. She elaborated the idea through her own experience during the last week, and made such a con vincing argument Illustrated by the gowns that her seamstress had finished, that naturally a fashion reporter must report it. It really was so true that it became a subject of mirth. The men did not understand the A B C of it, but every woman knew exactly how that gown had looked before it was turned around. Details are tiresome and not always convincing, but the imagination and knowledge of woman can easily lead her to grasping the idea. To begin with, there is a slash which was in front, and is now in the back. There is the sash which began Its career last March by being tied In the back, but which is now loosely knotted in front. There is the long tunic which once ended Its circuit of the body in the middle of the back, leaving a straight panel exposed of the skirt beneath. To day the tunic is turned around and ends its career In front, showing a plain panel of the skirt beneath. Method of Sewing Convenient. If these fashions persist through the Autumn and women have gowns that are In good enough condition to be made over It is quite easy to adopt this convenient method of altering clothes. All one has to do is to twist the skirt around on the figure, if one is content to be haphazard: and If not, then to drape It on a new lining. Either method will serve according to the figure and dress habits of the wearer. The adoption of it may tide over that between season that most women dread, when It Is too early to spend one's money rashly on new clothes and too late to regard one's Summer finery with any degree of ap probation. The change in the sash is probably the most interesting of the many changes that have twisted the back part of the skirt to the front. It began so Victorian and ended so Oriental. Its primeness when Premet originat ed it was a startling note against the sensuous draperies which women had worn since Persia and Russia touched women's apparel with their artistic fin gers; women said that It was not pos sible for this kind of sash to succeed, and women were right. Oriental Saah Is Worn. As this hip drapery is worn today, It has no suggestion of primness. It is swathed round the hips of the woman who, through corset or diet or nature, is hipless, and, dropping well below the f "WHAT S&. -"CP ANNE HJTTEIS waistline is loosely knotted, leaving the two ends to swing to the knees. It is not an easy kind of drapery for every woman to adopt. She can only wear it at the end of a straight basque or short chemlee-like garment that en tirely hides the fact that she has a waist-line. Yet. over here, she is wearing it all the time, and it has taken the encroach ing Victorian era by the neck end strangled It until it was dead. GLASS TABLE SERVICE FOR WARM WEATHER. Did it ever occur to you that glass looked decidedly cooler than china? It does look cooler to most persons and therefore the table set forth with much glass and silver that looks cool, too is far more Summery than the ta ble set forth for the most part in china. Cut glass is well for the smaller dishes for candies and appetizers, but it is pressed glass that must serve for many things. This heavier, cheaper glass Is evolved into all sorts of in teresting Wishes and It is made the more serviceable by the addition of nickel rims and standards in many cases. There are tempting dishes for appe tizers that are formed of four triangu lar dishes fitted into a big tray, and these can be filled, for instance, with sliced cucumbers and sliced tomatoes to present a most appetizing appear ance. Small glass baskets, in nickel etand- nrrts are deliehtful for holding fruit on the Summer table. A breakfast ta- hle with a elass basket in the center filled with flowers and two glass bas kets at the ends holding fruit, with glass finger bowls at the various plates, is indeed cool and pleasant to look nnnn Glass fruit plates are also sold, and these add to the Summery appearance of the breakfast or dinner table. These plates are similar to those that go under sherbet cups. Glass sherbet cups can be used every day in the Summer, for nlmost every sort of light, warm weather dessert gains added charm if it is daintily served in these crystal cups r-,tarH s-elatine. blanc mange, ices and sherbets and ice cream, fruit sal aio anri cocktails and many other Sum mer desserts can be appropriately carved In sherbet cups. Another useful dish is the cheese and cracker plate, combined, which can be had In glass and nickel or in glass and silver deposit. It is a big. flat plate i tha center of which there Is some sort of small dish, attached or remov able, for cheese. This dish can be used, likewise, for toast and marmalade, or for candies and sweet biscuits at aft arnnnn tea. Then there are the many attractive classes for water and lemonade, punch. ...i toe and other Summer beverages Any of these, if they are sparkling from the results of hot water and careiui H-vino- im cooling In appearance. And surely there is no more tempting sound eather than the clink of ice against glass. The jugs and nitehers of irlass to hold the cooling st,,mer beverages are likewise varied in pattern and design. There are iced tea sets, consisting of a glass dish for lemon slices, tall glasses iui w o howl for cracked ice, and fnr the tea before it is poured t Sometimes there is a silver Jug for hot tea which is to be pourned over ice.

ONE night Bobby Jones thought he heard sobbing in the playroom. so he put his head out of his box and 1 i st ened. nr., villa Drusilla." called Bobby, nftlv. "are vou crying;?" Th Kohhimr ceased, and Drusilla asked.

"Of course, I can live here, Bobby Jones, but how would you like to see your little mother playing with anoth er doll and never noticing you at all? And then Drusilla began to sob, and Bobby, finding she did not stop, slowly slid into his box and went to sleep. The next night as soon as the house was still he called to Drusilla. Drusilla had cried so much the night before that she was sleeping soundly, but in a few seconds she sat up in her bed and rubbed here eyes. "What is it, Bobby?" she asked. "I want to hear what happened about the doll house," he said. "Oh!" said Drusilla, with a laugh. It came out all right, and I had a splen did time playing with it yesterday. Yesterday morning my little mother came in and took me to the new house, and when she found she could not get me into the house she began to cry. Then nurse came running and asked what was the matter. My little mother told her she could not get me into the house, and, Bobby Jones, what do you think' that nurse said: 'You do not need to get Drusilla Into the house; there is a doll in the house. Look in the bed.' . "My little mother took the doll out, and I can tell you, Bobby Jones, my heart stood still for a second, for al though that new doll was very small, she was very pretty and had on the prettiest dress you ever saw, and there were more dresses in a trunk in the bedroom. 'I don't want any doll but my dar ling Drusilla." said my little mother, crying, and she made such a fuss that her mother came In to see what had h:nne.ned. My little mother's mother is just the nicest mother, uoooy jones. one wiu mv little mother to play I was her sis ter and we could play doll together with the new doll house and the little doll.

A Startling Discovery. ARIAN'S Speculations as to what Challoner's business or profession might be, covered a considerable range. His uncommunicativeness about himself heightened her sense of mys tery. In this he differed singularly from the ordinary run of men who talk shop from the moment of introduction, and affix their trademark to every other sentence. Artist, writer, surgeon, lawyer, broker these possibilities oc curred in turn to Marian, the one blurr ing into the other. One day, her curi-J osity demanding satisfaction, she haz arded the remark: "I've come to the conclusion that you're a landscape painter, Mr. Chal loner. Tell me, did I guess it?" "Hardly," he laughed. "If I were, could I have been all this time without my brushes and canvas? The painter is a slave to his work. His only rest comes with changes of subjects to paint. They tell me, however, that I have a color sense that might serve me to good advantage if I didn't lack every talent an artist requires. "No," he continued, "nothing as ro mantic as that. I'm Just a lawyer." "Had I been a man, I'd have been a lawyer," Marian broke in. "The pro fession has appealed to me ever since I can remember." "It has a picturesque side," admitted Challoner. "But that side is not for me. I've never had a hand in an excit ing criminal case. I'm a patent attor ney. Manufacturers and inventors bring their dreams of conquest, and my busi ness is to help them reduce the same into intelligible language, and to de fend them against infringement. It's a dull sort of grind, totally without heroics. It's not at all the sort of thing that women care anything about. My wife, for Instance, has never forgiven me for being nothing but a patent at torney." Marian caught her breath. It was the first intimation she had had that Challoner was married. Not that she had had any particular reason for as cuming that he was not some woman's husband, nor even that It was strange that she had known this man for a week without his having seen fit to mention the fact that he had a wife. She knew men well enough to know that, away from their wives, they do not always advertise the fact that they are married, especially to other women. Yet, now that Challoner had men tioned that he had a wife, It forced Marian to reconstruct the subconscious attitude toward him which had been evolving into existence, almost without her knowledge. She was not in love with this man. But she was danger ously near It, drawn to him by forces that were working subtly and Inde finably. "I should love to meet Mrs. Chal loner." Marian heard herself remark. 'You must miss her very much, beln3 here without her." "Yes, I do," answered the man. "She's in Europe for the Summer. We had been looking forward to making the trip together, but I found I couldn't get away. This is the only breathing spell I expect to get this Summer. I've stayed already longer than I thought I'd be able to. I must get back by the first of next week. How long shall you be here?" he asked. "I hardly know," said Marian. "1 may stay on for the rest of the Summer. There Is nothing to recall me to New York." "I wish there were," said Challoner, fixing his eyes for a moment upon hers. "I'd like to see more of you." Tomorrow Incompatibility. Snapshots . Barbara Boyd Preparing for the Lonely Vesrs. W OULDN'T you dislike to arrive at middle life with nothing to do but sit around a boarding-house and com plain of the food you had to eat?" a friend said to me as we walked down the street. I knew to what she referred. We had just come from calling upon a woman of possibly 50, who boarded, and who had spent most of the time of our call telling us that she couldn't eat this and that she must eat that because her doctor prescribed It. and how she had to have things cooked, and how difficult It was to find a satisfactory place to board because of her delicate digestion. "The source of her whole trouble," my friend said, "is that she. has noth ing to do but think of herself. She wonders if she dare eat a certain thing. She tries it, imagines it disagrees with her and cuts it out. By this process of elimination she has little left she can eat And probably her condition will get worse, for the more you worry and fear about your food, the worse effect it has on you." And then she propounded the aforesaid question about arriving at middle life with no vital Interests. Yet that Is the condition many single women are facing. Think about it a bit and see If you do not agree. Married women are apt to have In terests whether of the kind they want or not. Housekeeping, children, pos sibly grandchildren, keep their days full of duties that must be performed. But the woman cut off from family life will, if she is not careful, come to middle age with heart and hands and days empty. And then trifles will mag nify themselves and she will load her self up with burdens vexatious and dis spiriting to carry. The woman who sees ahead of her lonely years would be wise to prepare for them, if she wants them to contain some measure of hapjtfness and content. If she wants to gather flowers then she must plant seeds now. And this does not mean she must give up hope of family life and" resign herself to an existence or single niesseciness. r-veu family life will be the richer for bring ing to it other interests. This woman living lonely and carp ing in her boarding-house and there are many like her all over the land could hare much more interesting things to fill her days than the thought of what she shall eat and how It shall be cooked. "The world is so full of beautiful things. I am sure we should all be as happy as kings." It applies to this woman and all like her. There are so many ways in which she could make her life Interesting, one would scarcely know where to be eln to suggest. Think of music and what it reaches out to in the way of concerts, of clubs. of friends one would make through Its magic influence! Photography, sports civic or social work, are all avenues to a broad, useful life, vivid interests many friends. A multitude of things are about us on all sides so fill one s dsvs with pleasure, to develop one. to help ono make life richer for others. UpzjftTJlks (Copyright. ll14. by the McClure New paper Syndicate.) Doing and Saying the Hlght Thing. THE late John Boyle O'Reilly was one day walking along the street in Boston, when a stranger approached him from behind, and, mistaking him for a friend whom he had not seen for a long time, slapped him on the shoul der and greeted him heartily. Many men In O'Reilly's place would have been annoyed and shown it, but not so the poet. Turning about, he stretched out his hand. "I am not Jack," said he, "but I am glad to shake hands with any man who Is as glad to see an old friend as you seem to be." This hand some speech was a great relief to the stranger, who had been much embar rassed upon seeing an unknown face turned toward him. The possessor of such splendid tact, who can Instantly place a man at his ease when he has put himself at a dis advantage by making a mistake, has an inestimable advantage in the battle of life. Who can estimate the loss to the world which results from the lack of tact the blundering, the stumbling, the slips, the falls, the fatal mislaM.es i J ii Boyden Shoes Hanan Shoes Grand Special Sale In order to close out oar Men's, Women's and Chil dren's Low -Cut Shoes, Colonials and Pumps, we will sell them at a reduc tion of io On top of this we give S. & H.

Wash. & Ald-r which como to people because they do not know how to do or say the right thing at the right time! How often we see splendid ability wnsted. or not used effectively, because people lack this in definable, exquisite quality wheh we call "tact." You may have a college education; you may have a rare training in your specialty; you may be a genius in cer tain lines, and yet not get on In the world; but If you have tact and one talent combined with stick-to-lt-lve-ness. you will be promoted, you will surely climb. A careful observer says that tact Is the oil that makes social wheels run easily. "It will often do more to make a cumbersome political, social or reli gious machine more than the greatest mental, physical or mornl strength." Tact enabled Lincoln to extricate himself from a thousand unfortunate and painful situations with politicians during the Civil War. In fact, with out it the result of the war might have been entirely changed. Some people show want of tact In re senting every slight or petty Insult, however unworthy their notice. Others make Don Quixote's mistake of fighting a windmill by engaging in contro versies with public speakers and edi tors, who are sure to have the advan tage of the final word. Tact Is a large factor In the success of many a business man and woman, for It Is that rare combination of good temper, ready wit and quickness of per ception which Is a match for any ex igency of the occasion instantly. It is never offensive, but Is a balm allay ing suspicion and soothing. In a large city hotel a certain room clerk had an extraordinary salary. He was bland, attentive and cordial. He could stow away more people In the nooks, crannies and corners of the ho tel and make them feel comfortable than almost any other man. He came down one morning and found a well known guest pacing the office In evi dent irritation. To his cheerful g-ood morning the clerk received a gruff re ply. "When did you come In?" "Last night." "I hope you have a good room." "I have not. They sent me up to the attic, where there Is not room in my quarters to swing a cat." "Oh. that stupid night clerk did not know you hroueht vour cat with you. I'll manage I it after breakfast. You shall have a ,om big enough to swing half a dozen cats." With a hearty laugh ai mis tactful speech the customer turned off to breakfast. Is not that a beautiful story which M told of Queen Victoria, who had com manded the attendance of a profes sional pianist from Vienna to play for her and for some of her children? It was her custom to dismiss the per former with a few words of thanks and a royal gift. This old musician, how ever, gave her great pleasure and she requested him to play the national hymn of his country. As soon as the first notes were struck, she rose and remained standing until he hud fin ished. The old man retired In n trn,- LARGE BALD PATCH ON GIRL'S HEAD Covered with Tiny Blisters.

One morning I noticed a large bald patch on her head, larger than a dollar, covered Willi tiny blisters surrounded with an angry red ring. They Anally began running. They itched and she never rted at night. "It was pronounced a bad case of eczema. I was given a prescription which I con tinued to uso till my baby's head was entirely covered with gores and she had lost all her hair. She was compelled to wear a silk cap and I IhMtM the was disfigured for life. A visitor In our neighborhood recommended Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
