Some new Scotch clans must have come into being recently, if one is to judge by the new plaids that are shown at the openings the dressmakers are holding despite the war. These clans do not boast the time-honored reds and blues and yel lows, greens, whites and black of their brother clans. They have adopted tlie rich, deep colors that make the clothes of this Summer distinctive. One plaid shown by Callot was in shades of hrown. It was combined with black And dark blue in a street suit. At the Premet opening plaids were used. One suit had a plaid velvet jacket and a plain cloth skirt. Another suit had a plaid hip yoke at the sides of the skirt and a plaid collar on the coat. A plaid of dull cerise and purple, with a generous intermingling of black threads was used for the foundation skirt of a striking suit I saw the other day. There was a long, pointed tunic of blue serge, and the bodice was made of the plaid and serge combined. In Premet's rather abbreviated open ing a novelty material shown was a black eilk plaided with velvet bands. It is very interesting, and it marks the tendency to plaid or stripe one fabric by applying bands of another. The new striped materials are made In the"same way by applying strips of one material on another. A smart frock worn not long ago by a smart woman was made of white satin. There was a long net tunic, edged at the bottom with a band of royal blue velvet and the tunic was striped from top to bottom with strips of blue velvet ribbon of three different widths. And a smart little blouse which I saw a few days later was made of black chiffon plaided with bands of brocaded velvet in deep shades of red, blue and gold. This idea of striping or plaiding a plain fabric by applying bands of some contrasting fabric eilk, velvet or fur is very good. Another new idea is to use striped silk as a foundation for lace or tulle ruffles and flounces. A charming even ing frock is made with black Chantilly ruffles mounted on black and white striped silk the stripes fully an inch .wide. HINTS TO THE SEWER. Always thread silk into a needle by putting the end of the silk that exists before It is unwound from the spool in the eye first. If the silk is put in from the end you break or cut it untwists more easily than if it is threaded from the other end. Don't bite thread. It is an easy thing to have a small pair of scissors always handy. You can have one fastened about your belt with a piece of ribbon or tape. Biting thread is a bad habit be cause it breaks the enamel on the teeth thus making work for the den tist probable. Clip all bastings to be removed at five or six-Inch intervals. They can then be pulled out without wrinkling the fabric Always have a little bottle of ma chine oil at hand. A drop of oil often transforms a stiff, heavy action into one that is perfectly smooth and easy. But never use much oil. A drop or two applied at the right spot is enough. Always run a piece of waste muslin through the machine after oiling it so that any oil that finds its way to the needle may be absorbed. If you are making a skirt or waist with pleats or tucks in It, try press ing them into place before -anting them. Pin them in two or three places and press with a cool iron, removing the pins as -you come to them. It is then an easy matter to baste the pleats or tucks exactly in place. Don't sew on black at night. It is very trying on the eyes. White sewing Is the only eort that ought to be done at night, and that should be done in a clear, shaded light. Never sew in the dusk. Nothing tires or injures the eyes so quickly as doing Tine sewing in an insufficient light. When you are making your own frocks, take advantage of the many small touches that you can easily ac quire to give a professional look to vour work. One is machine hemstitch ing. which gives an admirable finish to silk or linen collars and cuffs. All you bave to de is to turn the material under at the edge, and baste through the two thicknesses on the line where you want the hemstitching. If you want a picot edge, baste a line in a single thickness of material. Another pro fessional touch is gained by the use of pleating of various sorts, for nar row frills and for ruffles. Then there are covered buttons of various sorts that yon can have made from any ma tertal you choose. Don't stuff pin cushions with cotton. BERKELEY. CAL., MATRON, WHO HAS RETURNED HOME AFTER A VISIT WITH PORTLAND FJbU-BJNJja. It Is very difficult to get pins into a cotton-stuffed cushion. Instead stuff the sewing-room pin cushion as well as all others with hair or, failing hair, with sawdust (Copyright,. 1914. by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) 1b-NlGHT Tom Kitten. , TOII KITTEN was a tiger kitten that is, his coat was striped and very handsome, but he did not think much about that just now, for he was young.

Tom Kitten tnougnt it was a. mi. had chased, but it was a squirrel, and Johnnie Grey had no idea of being caught, at least not by Tom Kitten. By and by a bluebird flew into the tree and seeing Tom Kitten there, he thought, of course, he was waiting to catch a bird. .

They chattered and chirped at him from the trees around for a while, and then flew away, and Tom Kitten poked out his head and looked about. Everything was still, and he crept out from under the bush and started to run home, but to his surprise he saw anv number of squirrels running around, and when they saw Tom Kitten one of them said: "There he is; tnere is the fellow that chased Johnnie Grey. Now let us chase him; he can't hurt us." Back went Tom Kitten under the bush again as quick as you can think. Just as he was getting terribly fright ened Tom Kitten heard a noise that sounded very much like the bark of Rover, the dog at home, and while he was thinking, the squirrels ran as Tom Kitten had never seen anything run before, and when a. second later he looked out there was not a squirrel to De seen. "What are you doing under there?" asked Rover, when he ran up to Tom Kitten, "and how did you. , get so far from home?" he asked. 'I ran after a big rat with a bushy tail." confessed Tom Kitten. 'Oh. oh." laughed Rover Dog, "tnat wasn't a rat; it was a squirrel. Didn't you see them run when I came along?" Tom Kitten said he did, and very glad he was to see them run, too, for they were going to chase him. 'I thought you were chasing tnem. said Rover Dog. T was chasing one, said Tom Kit ten, "but when there are so many of them I could not chase mil of them at once." 'Well, come along with me, then, said Rover Dog. "I bet you do not know which way to reach home. Tom Kitten confessed he did not, but he followed Rover Dog as he led the way. Copyright, 1914. by the McClure Newspaper syndicate, jew lom wu.

Challoner Speaks. 4 IFE," said Marian Winthrop, "is La so hard to understand." "That's because we find it hard to understand ourselves. Life is what we make it." answered Challoner. "I don't think so at all. That dancer, for instance, at the cabaret was not there because she wanted to be, but because she had to be. We seem to be ruled by the inevitable, dragged into certain paths, hurled Into certain dt. rections." "Partially," admitted Challoner, "but aren't we ruled because we refuse to seize the flying reins and assume con trol ourselves? Don't we do the things we think we have to do, and refrain from doing the things we really want to do, until finally the habit gets hold of us and we actually begin thinking of ourselves as puppets in the ebb and flow of chance?" Challoner's convincing, magnetic words, flowing on, always impressed Marian Winthrop and held her atten. tion. whatever the subject under dis cussion. Tonight, as he walked at her side, taking her back to her hotel, her thoughts flew suddenly on into the fu ture, into the bleak, vague, undefined future. She was painfully conscious that whirling changes were in store for her; changes that would sweep this man and his golden friendship out of the circumference of her life. The thought was sharp and painful, like the thrust of a knife. She caught her breath, conquering a moan. She was not yet ready to face utter loneliness again. The thought overwhelmed and oppressed her. "What I was saying is absolutely true," continued Challoner. as though divining Marian's groping thoughts and endeavoring to cheer and steady her. "We allow inertia and fear and what not to grip and control us. The result chaos, regrets, whole lifetimes of suffering and chagrin. It requires bravery to be one's self. We veneer ourselves over with deceit and then wonder that we get so little out of life." "Perhaps," agreed Marian dreamily "Y-ou and I. for Instance," said Chal loner, with sharp abruptness. "We stand cowering back ot absurd oonven tions, afraid of the truth, afraid to look squarely into our hearts. "What do yon mean?" demanded Marian with a strange trembling lay iner hold of her. "Tou know," said Challoner. "and 1 know. But I'm going to say it never theless. I'm going to say What I've withheld because I didn't have the courage to face the truth squarely, no less than because I feared you were unwilling to face it. Now I'm going to speak. I love you, Marian " "Oh, don't, don't," moaned the girl. "And you love me," he spoke on. pay ing no attention to her warning. "We've been drawn to each other by mevitaoie forces chance, temperament, the things that happened to us long be. fore we ever saw each other, and yet we stand like puny, self-constituted guards at the flood gates and try to hold back the tides." "Don't, please don't," pleaded Marian. terrified at the man's sentences. "You're married. Mr. Challoner. Besides, it Isn't true what you're saying it isn't true " "It's true, every word, and you know it. I know it's true of myself, and I know that It's true of you. My mar- riatre must be ended. I can see it clearly, and shall attend to it." Snapshots . Barbara Boyd. Interesting Everyday People The Laundress. SHE came riding up on her bicycle to get a package of laundry. She leaned the wheel against the curbing and came in. She looked so warm and tired, she was invited to sit down a while and rest. "Have you been taking a long ride?" was asked. "Yes, ma'am. I've- been about 20 miles and there were sofne pretty step hills. I went all around by the beach." She mopped her face with an already damp handkerchief. She was small, freckled, with an in consequential snub nose i and little watery blue eyes. She wore an old battered straw hat, a faded blue gala tea skirt,- dusty shoes, an inexpensive white lawn shirtwaist. She was not at all an attractive figure as- she sat, al ternately fanning herself and mopping her face with her damp handkerchief. Her countenance scarcely expressed in telligence above that required to wash clothes clean and iron them carefully. "I have been getting some sea mosses and ferns. Did you ever see any of them?" "Not many," was the reply. Are they pretty?" "I will show you what I have gath ered."
