GOWNS FOR THE SWEET GIRL GRADUATE
BEAUTY HINTS FOR THE BABIES
MANY an easy-going mother has
Uvea to dread the oft-repeated
question from her child: "Why
Aid you let me do It?" Thla Is particularly
true in the matter of personal disfigure
ment. A. trifling habit, easily broken in
mere babvhood. is indulged until some
feature of an otherwise pleasant face is
dlv contorted. It is so much easier
lo let babv-boy suck his thumb- and stare
t the ceiling in silent contentment than
to fight the habit with a thumb cot
vet only the other day I met a boy who
never, never smiled while I was at his
house. When I had gained his confid
ence. I learned that by sucking his thumb
as a babv. ho bad spoiled the shape of
his mouth. Now. whenever he smiles,
the upper lip Is lifted hideously, display
ing not only his upper teeth but promi
nent upper gums as well. As soon as this
boy has earned the money, he says he Is
going to an, eminent surgeon to have that
Up operated upon. That Is why ha is
afraid to smile. A lime gin wno
permitted to suck her thumb until she
was old enough to go to school, now has
two prominent upper teeth that stick out
llkn tusks.
Many mothers who sit up night to make
baby clothing fine enough for a rich
man's child, are too busy to see that the
same baby gets a fair start toward per
sonal attractiveness, if not beauty.
If your baby has prominent ears, make
some little night caps that will fit down
snugly over the offending members and
never let bim sleep without a cap. The
curs should not be strapped close to the
head, but they should be held In posi
tion during the sleeping hours so that
they are not pushed further from the
head.
If his noee la broad and shapeless, mas
sage it gently, always working It out be
tween thumb and forefinger to a point.
Think how often you alt reading with
baby lying content upon your knee. 3ust
suppose that if, with the book In one
hand, you massaged his misshapen little
nose with the other for ten fir 16 minutes,
morning and afternoon, how much you
could do toward Improving; Its shape!
If It has a tendency to turn up in a pug,
massage It gently but firmly with a down
ward stroke toward the lips.
If the eyebrows are scant, begin train
ing them before baby in a month old.
Rub them gently each nfght with vase
line: and. after the bath each morning,
brush them into a good arch with a tiny
soft brush which you can buy for this
purpose at any drug store. If the laahes
are thin. ak your family doctor to cut
them at least twice before baby Is three
montha old. Thla encourages the growth.
I knew a young mother whose principal
facial defect had always been colorless,
thin lashes and brows. Her husband's
face also lacked character along these
lines. When her babies 'came, she used
the treatment outlined above: and, though
both children had light hair like their
parents, their appearance was' greatly
helped by long lashes and well-formed
brows, quite a little darker than the
hair.
Children object so strenuously . to
shampooing that easy-going mothers
are apt to neglect this important fea
ture of the care of the hair. As a re
sult, dandruff assails the scalp when
it should be clean and sweet. The little
head should be washed at least once a
week with an egg shampoo, so long as
the child Is in the dirt-scattering- age.
and later, when more tidy, the head
should be shampooed at least once a
fortnight, . with a raw egg beaten up
In warm, not hot, water.
Unless the hair is extremely oily, the
scalp may be massaged once a week
with pure olive oil. This Is a dandruff
preventive which is absolutely safe.
An excellent tonic for a child's scalp.
If dandruff or itching is present. Is this:

Hints for the Spring Cleaning
WHEN Spring sunlight and air rush
Into the house with the ardor
of housecleanlng days, spots and stains
galore come to notice. Marks, soft
ened by the hangings and " shaded
lights of Winter, stand out conspicu
ously when curtains come down and
uncompromising daylight enters. Here
are some excellent suggestions for re
moving unsightly spots and stains and
giving the furnishings a clean, Spring
like look:
If a quantity of silver is to be
cleaned, try this method: Mix sweet
oil and whiting to a smooth, creamy
paste. Apply with a flannel cloth. Al
low It to stand pntil dry. Polish first
with cotton flannel, then wltt chamois.
This method will not eat or injure the
silver plating.
For a finger-marked piano or other
highly polished piece of furniture, try
cold water and chamois skin. Have
two skins, both very soft and pliable;
dip one In cold water, wring It very
dry and wipe off the polished surface:
then polish with the dry skin. Never
apply coal oil or any patented polish
whose Ingredients you do not know to
your piano. One woman who used coal
oil on cleaning days soon found that
the entire surface of her piano was
marred by tiny cracks.
Leather picture frames, portfolios,
etc., can be cleaned with benzine. Ap
ply with a soft cloth, and if the ben
zine removes the polish, apply the well
beaten white o( an egg.
For removing spots from wallpaper
and window shades, fill small cheese
cloth bags with cornmeal and rub the
soiled surface as you would with a
plain cloth. Sometimes a large grease

ounces: dilute sulphuric acid, 15 drops.

stain on the wall, for instance, above
a couch where members of the family
have rested their heads, can best be
removed by the use of blotting paper
and a hot iron. The heat draws the
grease through the blotting paper.
To remove grease stains from floors,
mix a quarter pound each of Fuller's
earth and pearl ash with a quart of
boiling water. Soak the floor with this
for 24 hours and scrub with sand. .
Clean soiled photographs with bread
crusts, rubbing the surface lightly, or
with Fuller's - earth, using the latter
dry.
The burners of lamps should be
boiled in water containing vinegar and
ammonia. When new wicks are to be
inserted, allow 24 hours for soaking
them in vinegar, and then dry them
thoroughly before using. This will pre
vent the unpleasant odor peculiar to
a new wick.

X thousands of family circles, the coun- j
try over. Commencement Day now
looms up Importantly. Next to a
wedding in the family, there Is no event
more intensely Interesting to the women
of the household at least. The college
girl's .Commencement Day now involves
the selection of a small trousseau, so
numerous " are the incidental functions.
Every high school has Its social events In
addition to the graduation exercises prop
er, and even the grade schools "graduate"
highest class pupils with more or less
ceremony. In fact the large number of
girls who go direct from the grade schools
to business college, make the grade school
commencement quite an event In public
school circles.
And all these conditions mean more
work for the home dressmaker and more
loosening of the parental purse.
The high school graduate, like her col
lege sister, feels the need of at least
three new frocks, a pretty Spring suit for
wear to church, when the baccalaureate
sermon Is preached,- a delicately tinted
evening frock for the class reception and
whatever prlvate'functions may be given
during the week, and, last but most im
portant, the graduation dress Itself.
In every class, there are two or more
girls who InslBt upon wearing colored
frocks at the graduation exercises, thereby
annoying their more conventional class
mates and destroying the alignment on
the stage. And so, despite pleading let
ters to the contrary, a rule' for all-white
in the graduation dress must be laid down.
Furthermore the girl who Imagines that
white Is not becoming should wake up to
the realization that this Is an error. White
is becoming so every girl ff properly de
veloped In a well-chosen fabric. The girl
who looks homely in a stiff linen will be
fairly tranformed by chiffon and lace or
even a soft, pliable net softened by supple
ribbons. On the other hand the selection
of a tint makes the unattractive girl all
the more conspicuous.
Therefore let us start with white and
end with white, so far as the graduation
frock is .concerned, leaving the dainty
pink,, blue or la-sender mull for which the
girlish heart yearns to be used in the
gown worn at the reception given the
graduation class by the Juniors.
The white material to be chosen then be
comes merely a question of the amount to
be spent. . While chiffons, gauzes and
silks are offered In graduation gowns.
some of the daintiest models come in wash
fabrics, batiste, .mull, fine lawn, nainsook.
all-over embroidery In inexpensive pat
terns, cross bar dimities, etc. "Voiles are
also among the most popular fabrics this
season varying from a silk and wool, to
an all-silk veiling, while the better grades
of cotton voiles which are double width
and cost from a dollar a yard up will also
work into very effective models.
One of the prettiest materials for these
frocks is organdie trimmed with fine lace,
but It must be classed with silks and
chiffons, because it does not show to ad
vantage unless made on a silk foundation
The voile frocks as a rule show Jumper
designs, trimmed with many little pleat
tngs or frills of soft silk or ribbon, over
guimpes of lace, which may vary in
weight from the finest of French Val. to
Irish crochet, though a good medium
weight with voile Is baby Irish which can
be bought In excellent quality as low as
14 a yard In all-over, with matching inser
tion, and galloons as low as 65 cents a
yard. Guimpes for these voile frocks are
also made from net. Inset with heavy lace
medallions, edged with frills of ribbon, net
or Val. lace. In fact. It Is mostly on the
guimpes and upper part of the Jumpers
that the elaboration occurs. Skirts as a
rule are rather full and plain, with per
haps deep tucks or bias folds for trim
ming above the hem. Insertion is used on
wash dresses, while on the more dressy
chiffons, nets and gauzes, conventional
patterns are outlined around the bottom
of the skirt with ribbon or fine double
ruchlngs. One lovely model in chiffon
cloth over silk was made Empire style
with a Greek border in white liberty taf
feta ribbon seven inches deep around the
hem. The short, waist was made very
full with shirring, best described as "baby
fashion and worn over a guimpe of fine
German Val. lace. The junction of the
round yoke with the waist proper was out
lined with white ribbon twisted like a cord
over a double ruching of Val. edging, and
here and there were tacked palest pink
rose buds made of liberty silk, so delicate
in coloring that at a distance the color did
not show. The full, elbow sleeves were
finished with lace and the same twist
ed ribbon and rose effect and the high
girdle, coming up like an inverted V.
in the back, was of white liberty taf
feta.
The prettiest of wash frocks show
modified princess designs, and for very
slender girls they are all shirred, not
tucked, snugly at the waist. On the
mull frocks some particularly pretty
fichu designs are shown. For example,
a very simple two-piece frock of mull
showed Inch-wide German Val. lace in
set Into the skirt Just above the hem in
a Wall of Troy or old Greek key pat
tern. The waist was cut square at the
neck to admit a guimpe of tucks, inset
with interlacing squares of the Val. In
sertion. The puffed sleeves were fin
ished with deep flounces at the elbow,
above whose hems a smaller Greek pat
tern of narrower insertion was Inset.
The girdle of mull was shirred snugly
over a fitted lining and starting at a
point about an inch and a half from
the center of this girdle was the fichu,
made of strips of tucked mull. and in
sertion, with matching edging on both
sides. This fichu was broader over the
shoulders than below, giving the effect
of rather' broad, yet soft revers. In
the back it almost met, being fastened
to the girdle in back and front with
rosettes of lace edging and tiny loops
of baby ribbon. The ends of the fichu
hung down in the back like a sash. For
a thin girl, this dress could be made
fuller and more becoming by finishing
the plain space between the fichu in
the front with flounce upon flounce of
the mull edged with lace, or flounces
of two-Inch lace. For a thin girl the
puffed sleeves should also kbe made
with flounces Instead of. plain.
A very pretty model is here shown In
mercerized batiste with Insertion and
frills of German Val. lace. - The chem
isette is of baby Irish. The pattern
can also be developed In chiffon or net
over silk, in voile or in smooth pongee
or China silk.
The waist Is made In one piece and
can be arranged over the fitted lining
or left unllned and a chemisette Joined
to it Is as material renders desirable.
It is shirred at its lower edge while
the pkirt is shirred at the upper and
the two are joined to give the princess
effect. For a girl of moderate size
will be required, for the waist 3

THE VOGUE OF THE NET BLOUSE
UNQUESTIONABLY uie summer girt
of 1907 Is pinning her faith on the
net blouse. "Peter Pans" have al
most run their course, embroidered linen
Is chic but & little passe, silk, set off
by lace medallions, -suggests factory
work, but the hand-made net -waist, to
quote an enthusiast. Is "the real thing."
All the enegry which the up-to-date girl
spent last Fall . on embroidered bands,
collars, cuffs, etc., or panels, and last
Summer on embroidered robes and waists,
she is expending this season on her net
blouses, and the more odd the combina
tion of nets and laces and embroidery
and tiny buttons and bits of ribbon.
which she can work out artistically, the
more smart will her handiwork seem to
her less deft neighbor.
Net. blouses can be bought, factory
made, irom $4.50 up, but no matter how
high the price of the waist soars, f ma
chine stitcbery and conventional design
betray that it Is one waist of many in
similar style, Its owner feels that some
thing is lacking, something which can
be supplied only by handwork and ex
clusive design.
Nets are fascinating In their pattern
and weave. From simple point d'esprit
at 40 cents a yard to cobweb meshes
almost as delicate as" real lace, at $5 or
more per yard, there is opportunity for
every taste to be satisfied. Nearly all
the simpler patterns come in white,
cream, deep ecru and black, with a fair
sprinkling of delicate colors like pink,
blue and lavender. Most of the high
priced, ready-made waists and all hand
or made-to-order blouses show a lining
of silk, generally white under either
white, cream or ecru net, and even under
black, and this silk in turn is voiled in
chiffon before the net is draped over the
form.
The dot or ring Is the commonest of all
patterns. A long, narrow . dash, some
thing like a tiny lozenge . or caraway
candy, is newer and more effective than
the dot or ring. Tiny figures like con
ventional flowers. . fleur de lis, interlacing
squares or circles, etc., are powdered over
both fine and coarse net meshes and show
up to best advantage over silk, veiled
by chiffon. In the more ornate patterns
very little of the real net mesh shows,
the figure being worked out with a silk
thread that suggests Chantllly lace.
Grenadine striped effects are reproduced
in these nets, and one of the prettiest
designs shows an alternate stripe of finely
dotted net with a more solid stripe of
silk thread, carrying out the old Greek
pattern or Wall of Troy.
All the new seats are veryN wide, some
of them nearly two yards, and if a waist
is to be grently elaborated .with lace and
ribbon trimming, a yard and a half or
two yards at the most will make the
waist and leave some sizeable pieces over
to make up later in vests, yokes, stocks,
etc., for silk or allover lace waists
Every scrap of trimming, lace or net
should be saved religiously this season,
for the smartest waists look like mere
culllngs from piece bags, so varied are
the open-mesh fabrics which make up its
artistic whole.
Ribbon, when applied to net waists as
trimming, is of the softest weaves, like
liberty taffeta or louisine, and is twisted
into very Frenchy devices. For instance,
an inch-wide ribbon is caught down at
close intervals with fine stitchery until
it becomes a succession of shell-shaped
convolutions. Again it is caught down
on either side at intervals until it looks
like a succession of llliputian calla lilies.
It is applied under lace insets as flat
pleating and It appears as rosettes.
The most Important phase of making
up a net waist is to combine with the
net some material so heavy as to afford
a contrast. For Instance, If your net
shows a fine weave and a Chantllly silk
thread In its small pattern, select coarse
filet or Irish lace or even medallions used
as insets. Never use a Chantllly lace
with Chantllly net, nor French Val. with
point d'esprit. Cluny Is good on either of
the nets described, but even then a
heavier lace Is often introduced as me
dallions with the Cluny or a transparent
yoke of finest Val. or Chantllly will be
outlined by the Cluny.
Sometimes the coarse or fine lace cm
ployed by contrast appears only in small
medallions or ruchlngs, but this contrast
must exist. Also cream or ecru nets are
Inset with pure white laces, while the
clear white net Is often set off by trim
mings of deeper net and lace. Ruchlngs
of the plain net are used to outline
medallions of lace or embroidery, and odd
little Jabot, fichu and soft tie effects in
liberty silk or similar weaves, and in
most delicate colorings like baby blue,
pale lavender, apricot pink, coral pink.
finish . the ecru waists most beautifully.
Sometimes these soft silk ties are woven
In and out of a wide lace pattern very
much as wash ribbon Is worked through
beading on lingerie. Tiny enameled or
Jeweled buttons finish some waists. They
are set on the yoke or vest and cufTs
in two rows at a distance of an Inch or
more apart and then laced with black
velvet ribbon in baby width, or, if a color
Is preferred, some very delicate, harmoni
ous tint is employed.
In the Illustration, A shows a very
simple but efTective waist of striped net
with 3'oke of German Val. lace, with
epaulets of Irish crochet. Just across
the bust line the net is laid In five cross
wise tucks to give fulness to a slender
figure.
Figure B is a trifle more elaborate.
The foundation is a deep ecru net, show
ing circles Inside a cross-bar pattern. The
yoke is finished with three saucy bows
of golden brown velvet ribbon, below
which is a full vest. Inset with pointed
straps of German Val. lace to give long
lines. A broad suspender effect Is added
ovr the shoulder and down both back
and front. This Is a shaped piece made
of silk Interlined with rather soft canvas,
covered with tucked net and outlined on
either side by galloons of imitation Irish
Inches wide with H yard of all-over
lace for the chemisette, 1 yard of in
sertion and 3 yards of lace edging; for
the skirt yards 27 Inches or Z yards
44 inches wide with 16 yards of inser
tion. Some of the models in voile will
prove most useful for wear other than
Commencement Day, and this Is partic
ularly true of the gowns softly ahlrred
In princess or jumper effects, with
strappings of . silk . or embroidered
pieces, and- yokes or guimpes of lace.
The voile gown for general use should
not be made in a pleated design, but
should be soft, clinging and straight in
Its lines.
White satin shoes plain, beaded, with
buckles, or rosettes of lace are used
with silk, chiffon or gauze frocks, but
kid. either glace or suede, plain or
MET-
via
lace In pure white. The tucking and Irish
lace also finish the sleeves.
Figure C shows a combination of dotted
net with point de Venlse. Rosettes of
pale blue satin ribbon are tacked where
the point de Venlse insertion is used to
simulate a bolero. .
In figure D there is shown a combina
tion of very coarse ecru net with a deep
square bertha effect of very fine yal
lace in pure white, alterating with tucked
net.
Figure E represents a plain net made
very effective with small medallions of
Cluny, outlined by fine Val. and finished
'across the front with straps of white
velvet ribbon.
It will be noticed that in nearly all
these models square lines prevail. The
square yoke, jumper and guimpe effects
are gaining over the curved, and par
ticularly the oval lines so popular last
Winter. Also there is a decided move
ment in the direction of high necks and
the newest collars curve down in the
front for the comfort of the chin, but
creep up very high behind the ears and
at tile nape of the neck.
Girdles to be worn with these net waists
are often the simplest of crushed belts
made from the material Itself of soft
liberty taffeta silk or ribbon. Chains of
coral, topaz, turquois and other delicately
colored semi-precious stones are worn
over these blouses and give Just the right
dash of color.
In buying lace, particularly medallions
for trimming a net waist, remember that
a small medallion in a good quality of
lace, affording the necessary contrast in
tint and weight, is more desirable than
quantities of cheap trimming. And if
you have plenty of net at your command,
make fine ruchlngs or pleatings or double
ruchlngs of this to edge your good lace
medallions and to outline the vest and
cuffs, rather than a cheap grade of VaL
beaded, can be worn with wash fabrics.
The popular canvas shoe, however
light In weight. Is not sufficiently
dressy for Commencement Day. Silk
stockings add greatly to the general
effect, for even the finest of white lisle
look "cottony" beneath a dainty frock.
Glace kid gloves are the preferred
hand-covering, though the girl who
perspires excessively under nervous
strain, making kid gloves unsightly,
must take refuge In long silk gloves.
Lace mitts are not used this year at
all.- All ribbons used for trimming
graduation gowns, for the hair or for
girdles are of the softeat weavea. lib
erty taffetas leading. White velvet
ribbon Is used on some of the silk and
chiffon cloth gowns.' but soft silk ll
more effective for Summer wear.

or Chantilly. These fine ruchlngs of nel
are very effective and one of the fads
of the moment. Moreover, if you have a
bit of softly tinted St. Gall or fine French
silk embroidery, either as a narrow band,
galloon or medallion, do not hesitate in
work It Into your blouse for the touch of
color. These delicately colored appliques
or medallions are much more effective
if outlined by narrow frills or plealinga
of Val. or Chantllly lace.

Good Form in Pub
lic Places
YOUNG people frequently become
most embarrassed when they
suddenly realize that on the
street, In a public conveyance, at the
theater, the restaurant, or church they
have done some trifling thing to make
themselves conspicuous. Here are a
few simple rules which the uninitiated
will do well to memorize:
When a young man meets one or
more girls on the streetcar, by accident
he does not offer to pay their fares.
That la Ills privilege only when he Is
their escort for the trip.
Girls in business are often joined at
lunch by young men employed In the
same offices. Under these - circum
stances there need be no embarrass
ment over the check. The girl pays
her own bill precisely as if the man
had not appeared on the scene.
When escorting a girl to the theater,
church or restaurant, the man must
first ascertain whether there Is an
usher or head waiter at the. door. If
there Is,-he permits the girl to enter
first, holding the door open for her.
The usher or waiter leads the way
down the aisle, the girl following and
the man coming last. If no usher or
waiter Is In attendance, then the man
goes first to find a seat or table.
On the streetcar or in a public audi
torium. If a man accompanies two girls
he does not sit between them," bat "oh

he thanks, her for the pleasure; she
mnv marolv rnmnl mnt Mb Ha.iflnir
after he has expressed his appreciation.
Neither does she thank the young man
who has escorted her home from the '
residence or a mutual acquaintance.
The pleasure Is supposed to be his.-
When two persons are walking to
gether and one meets an acquaintance
with whom she wishes to speak Just a
few words. Introductions are not. nec
essary. The disinterested party can
stand apart, apparently looking into a
shop window or at the stream of ve
hicles or pedestrians, until the conver-' :
sation. which should be very brief, is
completed.
Only the confirmed invalid or aged
woman takes a man's arm on the street
In rin vllflrhr. The man alina bis band
under a woman's arm only when be is
assisting her Into a vehicle or across
a crowded thoroughfare.
When a man has performed some
trifling courtesy for a girl he does not
know, such as picking up a parcel,
rescuing her i-.i a sudden Inrush of pas
sengers, etc., she may acknowledge the
kindness with a slight inclination of
the head and thanks, but she 2oes not .
continue the conversation.
A man helps a girl into the car or
carriage and then follows; but on leav
ins the car he goes first, in order to
assls. her to alight.
The girl leaves all orders to her es
cort. Never signal to a conductor to
stop the car If you are nearlng your
stopping place. Tell your escort that
the next corner is yours. In a restau
rant never signal for the waiter. That
duty Is your escort's.
If a man desires to chat with a wo
man friend whom he meets on the
street, he may walk for a short dis
tance at her side, but unless she ex
presses by word and act a willingness
to be stopped, he will not detain her
in conversation and thus make her con- '
spicuous.
Tr a vminr man meets a srirl Who Is
accompanied by another man whom he
does not know, he will not offer to
stop them and talk unless the gtrl
makes the first move In this direction,
as if desirous of Introducing the two
men.
When walking beside a girl who Is
bound for a call, a shop or church, the
man does not leave her .-.bruptly In
the middle of the sidewalk, but goes
to the door with her. ringing the bell
for her if it Is a private residence, or
opening the door of a public place, like
restaurant, -shop or church.
