The Visiting Nurse Association will
Send a wagon for .them, will clean up

With the money they will do work for
LATE years, ribbon has com
nto use mora and more for mak
ing all sorts of .dainty pretty things
about the home or In the wardrobe.
Having two finished edges, it often
outs in two the labor of working it t
and it can, be had in every conceiv
able color and combination of colors.
A ribbon lounging; set is a desirable
possession for any dainty lady, young
or old. This may consist of slippers,
cap, belt or sash, bag for fancy work
and perhaps a pillow.
For the slippers, ready-made soles
may be bought or home-made soles
used, which can be made from quilted
pieces of old soft cloth, either woolen
or cotton, basted together, and with
an upper cover of silk, satin, plush,
velvet or soft Wood goods. The layers
of cloth should be securely basted
and cut the. proper shape from the
sole of an old shoe or slipper; then
stitched with silk thread on the ma
chine .In squares Or diamonds. Sew
this quilted piece to an under sole Of
heavy goods, as cravenetts, cloaking
goods, oilcloth, leather, etc., and hand
bind the edge, with a narrow ribbon,
leaving a little edge of the ribbon Oil
the upper side inside the seam to sew
the upper part of the slipper to. For
the uppers, use ft piece of ribbon wide
enough to extend from the toe of the
sole to the raise of the Instep of th
foot,- from SMi to 7 Inches. Cut off a
piece of ribbon from seven to 10 Inches
long, depending on the size of the foot,'
and stitch a hem on the two cut edges.
With double silk thread, run gathers
on each side Of the ribbon, drawing
the toe side in to ah Inch, or less.
Overcast on the wrong side and fasten
the end securely. Lay the center Of
the toe end of the sole to the center, of
the ribbon and catch together. Sew
an inch or two on each side of the
center to the" edge of the binding rib
bon, turning the seam to the inside.
Blind stitch the rest Of -the distance
to the instep edges of the upper ribbon.
Let the gathering thread on this edge
out to make the ribbon fit the loot.
The instep edge may then be finished
with shirred baby ribbon, braid or
binding. An elastic may be ran in 0
hold the slipper on. Ribbon may be
fastened to the heel further to hold
the slipper la place.

( answers
"t IRLS, this is a message for you.
VT . it Is for society girls. college
girls, girls who have attended finish
ing schools, home girls, rich girls,. poor
girls, girls who work, all girls. So
listen, and don't let any of the men
get this message. It isn't for them.
I want you all to learn to be good
letter-writers. Tes, and .more than
that, t Want you to be-eu're you know
how to spell and how to use the big
Words as well as the little ones.' Learn
to write s, good, breezy letter, full of
news, .but not gushing or. slangy,
newsy and never academic. I'll tell you
why I am making this suggestion.
. Several men have told me that girls
don't write interesting letters. But
yesterday a young man Of excellent
family, a college graduate and success
fufr In the business world, wrote me
Something that made ma decide to tell
the girls to "wake up." He said th
he could not endure a girl who wrote
a "slushy letter, or a dry letter, or a
badly spelled letter. He had been on
the point of proposing to a girl he had
met in society and - she Wrote him a
letter ' and spoiled the match. H
couldn't forgive her spelling and mis
use Of big words. It grated, on his
nerves. ' He had thought her incapa
ble of such mistakes. She is a graduate
of a smart finishing school and Is al
ways beautifully dressed and Well be
haved. although a trifle vain but she
cannot spell. ' .
Another girl who wrote to this same
young man evidently copied him a page
of the encyclopedia. The letter was
so dry I Another girl raved about the
"darllngest, dearest, keenest- gowns
and parties and men" and to the man
himself attributed all sorts CC "mushy"
attributes. She was worse than the
dry writer. So, girls, I say if you
would "make a hit" with the success
ful young man of the . day, learn' to
write a good letter. J?ell the news;
give some amusing anecdote; don't
waste words; be original,, but never,
never be dry, didactic, "soft," silly or
a bad speller. -
And here's another-or the girls:
If you want to pass your Christma
gifts along to someone else, be sure
that there isn't a card or message
lurking somewhere ir - the depths,
folds or pages of the gift. Once I had
several boxes of candy sent me and as
I couldn't eat them all and wanted to
share with Someone, I picked out the
biggest and prettiest" box and gave it
to the girl who goes to my home once
a Week and scrubs and cleans. I had
taken off the card on the outside, but
didn't know there was another inside
and not Tnly a card, but a pretty gold
brooch. Merry Christmas.

Portland,' Or., Deo. 20. Ddr Marian Mil
ler: A friend lent me a handsome gift. 1
cannot afford to send her anything. .What
hall I do7 . 4 MAKIBJ C.r
Send a card and a friendly littld let
ter full of good win he's. If the Is a true
friend she will appreciate it; If not.
she's not worthy to be called friend.
It isn't the varwe of a- gift so much as
the spirit with -which it Is sent. Your
friend would not want you to go into
debt because you couldn't send some
thing elaborate. .

1a Grande, Or.. Dc. 20. Dear Marian
Miller: Mr hair i e4tlcir rav. Do vou
think I ahoulil dye it? T am a widow and
have a duughter 15 years old. but everyone
ays I took young.-I am a brunette. .
MRS. W. H.
Personally I don't like dyed hair, but
it is no crime to color 'the gray hairs.
A great many women do It, but one
cast always tell dyed hair. If, however,
you wisfr to dye it, go to an expert
and have it done as artistically as pos
sible. But, remember you won't fool
anyone. Oray hair is generally Very
becoming with dark eyes if one dresses
ir good taste. .1 shall not decide this
for" you.
Portland. Or.. Dec. 21. .Dear ikfnrlnn xf n
ler: I am 18 years old. Recently I met a
young man and 1 liked him rirht away.
lie has not called upon ine. Would it be
wrong; tor me to send him a ChriBtmaa card?
' - illN.NIHJ V.
Better not. - It might snnll n nnaSlhlo
chance for a nice friendship. You'll see
him again some day soon, I think, and
you can give him a slncere "Happy
New Year" greeting and if he teems
Inclined to be Interested and is a man
of good standing and character vou
can invite him to call some eve-ning.

HAIL CLAUSE! BILL.
Senator Does Not Expect Direct Action,
bat Will Press Measure as Amend
ment If Possibles
Senator ' Polndexter, Of Washington,
today introduced a bill which would
repeal the long arid short haul clause
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
act. He says he cannot get the bill
through as a separate measure, but If
any interstate commerce legislation is
passed this session- he will press his
bill as an amendment to that measure.
and in this way hopes to make some
progress. The Polndexter bill amends
the fourth section of the interstate
Commerce law to read as follows:
It shall be uniawrui tor any com
mon carrier subject to the provisions
of this act to charge or receive any
greater compensation in the aggregate
for the transportation of . passengers,
or of like kind of property, for
Shorter than for a longer distance over
the same line or route in the. same
direction, the shorter being included
within th longer distance, or to
charge any greater compensation as
through ' rate than the aggregate of
the intermediate rates subject to the
provisions of this act, but this sh
not be oonstrued as authorising any
Common carrier within the- terms of
this act to charge Or receive as gMat
Aompensation for. a shorter - as for
longer distance.
."WhenYep a carrier by railrsaS
shall, in competition with a water route
or routes, reduce the rates , on the
Carriage of any -species of freight to
Or from competitive points, It shall not
Increase such rates unless after hear
ing and an order granting permission
therefor by the Interstate Commerce
Commission."
