Then run throuh the tucker. The needle will leave a distinct line along which to run your hand sewing. The marker also leaves a line for the next tuck. It is best to sew each tuck as it comes, from the tucker, as han- dling obliterates the marks. This method insures absolute accuracy with the daintiness of the hand sewing, and can be done in less than half the usual time. T is impossible to dress to look one's best unless the toilet ta ble has a brilliant light above it. It is mortifying to pass from a dim bedroom to a well-lighted theater, or a friend's house, and to uihcuver sman wisps or straying hair and errors about one's attire which en tirely escaped attention in the semi darkness at home. A clever woman has her bedroom most cunningly light ed so that by meansof another mir ror opposite that on her" dressing table, sne can see herself m every position This is one reason why she is rarely seen with "yawnings" between bodice ina sKin, glimpses at petticoats inrougn piacKets, ana the hack of col lar badly adjusted. FINE satin stitch, sometimes called French stem stitch, is among the most difficult kinds of embroidery to do well. A good substitute is what is known as satin outline. It is much used as an edge on figures to be filled with seed ing or fancy stitches. To work it make a fine outline stitch along design, tnen cover with a close over-ana-over suicu, taking up only the stitch itself, not .any of the material. Somewhat similar is v.nnt that thp nn- riarotitharv ia run nnri thfi OVfirstitch umvi j o - , is taken tnrougn tne running suauw to form a sort of diagonal cord. This makes a good effect when the over- stitch is done in color, as blue and io wiiiic, icu a.uu r uin-. DIET of oranges will clear muddy complexions and reduce Buyciauuuuaui.

Ap plied externally, they are a bleach which will remove stains from fingers and neck, freckles from arms and cheeks and other sallow blemishes Pineapples will sweeten the voice, re store the quality if it has grown husky and aids digestion, which means that it will help to beautify the complexion. Apricots are used for the same pur pose and are much favored by the Ori- entaJB. ' O you, know that your stomach slumps actually slumps from two to four inches in your body if you make a practice of worrying and fretting?" said a woman lecturer to her audience recently, "First your mouth droops till you can't lift the corners of it. Your chin gets big oh, you're anything but an im pressive picture then! But worse comes. Your stomach slumps and coils up on itself, and your diaphragm sort of falls on your stomach and your stomach gets irritated and creates poisonous gases. Then your heart feels as if it were giving out, and you gay, 'Oh, I don't know what's the mat-' ter; I can't climb these stairs I must have heart disease.' Heart! Legs are to climb stairs with, and poor mis- guided women think they have got to pull themselves up with their hearts. Stop playing dirges inside yourselves, Tuck your abdomens back Into the right places; ddn't worry and you'll be all right." NE of the tendencies of, ill health is to make one morbid. People who are constantly thinking about their ailments, worry tog about their troubles, suffer- big pain, often develop a morbid pas- slon for sympathy. They want to tell everybody of their aches and pains, to describe their symptoms, says a writ- pr. Have you ever known a woman wmm who has acquired the doctor habit, a woman who loves nothing in the world quite so well as an opportunity to tell the doctor of her ailments? She has poured them out to unwelcome ears, to forced listeners, till she longs for some one who can really appreciate it all, who sympathizes with her in her trou bles; so she sends for the doctor or goes to see him. This becomes almost a mania with some Avomen, who have few outside activities to divert them. Their minds naturally revert to ihem- selves and they think of their unfor tunate condition until they become sat urated with the poisoned thought. HERE much sewing is done at home it pays to have a sep arate sewing room fitted with the latest conveniences for cutting, fitting and measuring. This room should hfi lip-ht and nirv if rna- sible opening on an upper porch. where work can be taken on pleasant days. A one-windowed dark room Is bad both for work and worker. Hnve low side lights or a table with a good student lamp if sewing must be done at night. Low, straight-backed, arm less chairs, with or without rockers, and several footchests of drawers or a highboy, where materials and imple- ments can be neatly kept. If therfi is no closet in the room use a wardrobe or put hooks at one side of the wall from a projecting board, across which string a curtain. 0 THE TABLE ORTUNATELY, the day when the dinner table was first spread with a rlnth f satin, thpn with lara or, i -"""u nn streamers and rosettes 01 WJde ribbon, is gone.

As for the tea table, that, too. must be daintily set forth. Of course, the tea can be brought in on a big trav or on a tea wagon, and can be passed di- rectiy trom these conveyances. But very often a table is spread with a cloth to receive the tea things, and the tea is passed from this table, A dainty cover of pure white linen, hemstitched at the edge with a three- inch hem, with a large initial worked in one corner, and small tea napkins which are not always essential, bat it is better to pass them when buttered toast or a pastry is served--and they are always in good taste. There are also some very pretty now cloths for the tea table with cress- stitched design of teapot and cups and saucers in the corner, in dullblue, green or gold. Tea napkins are made to match. Then there is the heavy linen or crash cover, which' is finished with a crochet edge in color. The edges of the linen are rolled, and a couple of threads drawn at the head of the roll, The crochet needle is put through these drawn threads to make the cage, which can be the simplest sort of picot or a more elaborate scallop. Nowadays it is usual to cover tho card table with a clean, smooth cover linen or crsh. These covers are tied under the corners of the table or fast ened with snap fasteners. Sometimes they are decorated in cross-stitch with the emblems of playing cards spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. Some- times there is a set of four, marked one, two, three and four, to designate the number of the tables when a pro gressive game is played. .-' THE WILMINGTON DISPATCHSATURDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER II, 1916, !SPrf -f 1 55S" ; HP.3 I ' ; - - UK ARRANGING THE HAIR How to Make It Conform to Your Style of Dress and Beauty BY LUCILLE DAUDET a daily habit as is the washing of the UST as this Is one day of spe cializing, so is it the day of matching styles that is, the style of halrdressing must be consistent with the style of the gown. Shoes, hats, gloves and wraps follow the same ruling. It is only by adher ing to this rule that a pleasing sym metry is gained in the complete cos tume. For instance, with the bouffant skirt and the pointed bodice it is quite essential that one's hair should, be pinned high on the head and should be arranged in curis ai me sme. It is quite true that every one can- not afford to have the hair dressed in such a manner by a professional, but by following the directions given in this article the greenest novice should be able to gain a satisfactory result. This is the method: First of all brush the hair down around the head as shown in the photograph. Divide the hair at the crown, picking up suf ficient to make a tairiy micit snauu. Tie it securely as illustrated. This gives you a firm foundation on wnicn to pin the rest of the hair. Now pin the false curls at each side. - , . , , , j Be generous m your use ui - that there will be no danger 01 curls slipping Drape a part of the front c Jon . i vr tn head. This is necessary m - place the psyche high. In twisting the psyche arrange it loosely as possible. A tight roll is not at all pleasant to look at and it hardens the features of the wearer.

These add t6 the appear ance of the coiffure, whereas the wire ones do just the opposite. The greatest care in arranging Lie hair will avail nothing if the hair is not in a luxuriantly healthy or:uditvn. Nothing so quickly reflects a condition of physical fitness, or the reverse, the hair. It is truly wou ctn's crowning glory, and for this reason a womuu' should bo willing to expend some ti'n.o and trouble to keep it at its best. The brushing of the hair and the massag ing of the scalp should be just as n-v.c.-t SIMPLICITY BOUT half the furniture, pic tures, gewgaws and bric-a-brac can be eliminated Horn the usual house, and give a sense of room and peace not otherwise to be found, while at the same time the labor of dusting is cut in half. Then, as to white curtains, spreads, bureau scarfs, etc. These are far love lier if color is used instead, look fresh er, need only a thorough shaking where white ones would have to bo washed, and if the right sort of ma terials are used, they never look muss ed as white ones do so soon. Eliminate tablecloths. Have tliff bare table arranged with placo doilies. It is prettier, it 13 less work, it means lower laundry bills. Eliminate carpets. Have rnr,- that are light and easily shaken, on a hard Wood floor, that can be wiped clean in ten minutes with one of the many dust- less mops on tne market.

It is advisable to apply just a little at a time. Too much of the salve or oil is apt to make the head look greasy. Should the bflir be oily it should be washed frequently, and oc casionally an alcohol bath should be given it. This is done by covering a brush with absorbent cotton. Saturate the cotton with alcohol and then brush the hair You VfiU be surprised at the amount of dirt that will come off. It is EOt easy to state how many times the oil or the alcohol should be ap- plied. The best statement is to say, as often as necessary. In adopting the style of hairdressin? suggested today be sure that it suits your features. If it is too high, lower the position of the psyche. If your ears are not things of beauty, bring the CUrlS more to iha frnit Th " v .vAJb xu'.xc aic Jot8 of little ways you can modify the styie yet change it very slightly in its general appearance. The placing of the part is another question which must be aolred by the inaividual As a rule, the hair can hn arrnnnvl much better if it i3 slightly curled. A wide wave is preferable to a narrow, ht Qne j . thero inem. lo obviate the necessity for putting up the hair .every night, you might use a quince-seed fluid on the hair. This usually makes the curl stay iu for a longer time. 0 CLIPPINGS WAS visiting a woman who has made a success in business, and after she had shown t'p r ,, , around her shop and offices, iull of fascinating things, she drew my attention to a card index case near her desk. "That." sh said, "ls the most impor tant of my possessions. And to that I charge a large part of my success." Of course I wanted to know what and why. "I think that every woman who is in any bur routine work should mike a practice of keeping all clippings that have any reference to what she does Ihe a momx of first-class material that is printed :-i the papers and the wopk hes and ih- ; a.?aziaes is incredible.

But make a habir. of dinning all such items and kecpiug them where you can get at then, hundily -uiind, handily--and you arc forming a library that is simply invaiu:ibk? 10 you. "Of course ibis question of hanui ncss is the chief one. The bos', collec tion of material on earth will not help you if it is not immediate!' available. "My v.-ay is to keep all allied civ piags' in or.n big envelope.- Ea?h of these envelopes is indexed under a number, and all the items it contain?: arc marked on a slip. These are kept ia that card index case. All I need to do when 1 want a clipping on r.ny sub ject is to look for it alphabetically in the index, lake out the envelope that has the right cumber, and run through the items. "I am able to discard old and use less material. or supersede one item with a better one- by this plan. Noth ing is leal. There is no fussing with paste, no big books to take care or. I can subdivide as much as seems good to me.

When the .hair becomes dry and aead-looking is usually suffering from too fre- it quent shampooing or an improper man ner of renovating. Brushing for ten or fifteen minutes every night will act as a splendid stimulant. PLEASANT powder to use with the huge bath puff found in the stores nowadays is made of two ounces of rice flour, two ounces of powdered talcum, two ounces of powdered orris root and one-haif pound of cornstarch. After being mixed the ingredients should be well sifted through a muslin cloth. F all times, that immediately lonowing me uaui is the host for manicuring. Just as leeu- lar as clockwork more so than the work of some clocks should the cleaning and shaping and polish ing of the nails be done when they are soft and pliable after being in the wa ter. : Li 'HOUGH many of the leading "bsauty doctors" regard facial massage as always injurious in the long run there are oth ers who do not share their opinions. One is the director of the institute of r.-.assaga In the University of Berlin. He strongly advocates the practice, provided h is conducted in his special way and wilhoui any use of creams or other skis foods. In removing wrin kles of. the forehead the masseur stands on the right of the patient, who is seated. The right and left hands are employed.

A -X convince himself that the hollow on the outside of the foot is rare, let him watch the prints that seaside bathers leave when they step on a dry plank walk. Most of such footprints show a greater or smaller hollow on the in side of the foot, but nearly every one shows a straight, wet mark on the out side. That water could flow under the arch of the foot without wetting it is an old and good rule where feet are concerned. T is an easy matter to rcduc a double chin. Anoint with skin food and pick the flesh up in tiny folds, rolling firmly be tween the fingers. This dissolves the fatty tissue.
