Details of this kind often close the high col lar, bing in the form of buttons, oddly shaped or medallions, serving as buckles or simulating belts on the dress itsself. With these effective novelties a dres or suit ms-y be ren dered unique to a degree and carrv an individual note, difficult to obtain but very satisfactory to the wearer, as she may be sure th?t her creation is for her wear alone, and will not be duplicated. THE USE OF LACE AND NET FOR BLOUSE OR FROCK Net has once more come info pou ular use for dainty blouses and frocks both for daytime and eveniug wear; threadrun r,ts are especially favor ed for the latter purpose. Plain net is used considerably for blouses in simple designs, tucked here end there and with tiny frills that fold softly about tha neck or lend grace to the sleeve. Chantilly, that charm ing lace of web-like texture in al most too delicate a weave to be worn is also used to fashion many gorge ous creations. Shadow lace, too, has its part in making of the more elaborate dresses' combination with soft taffta or satin, as trimmings in narrow bands, for sleeves, or in soft flaring bretelles. Strange as it may seem, velvet-in vivid colors is often used for trimming these filmy cos tumes in panels and bandings, mak ing a wonderful effect. SATIN OR TAFFETA AS TIMMINGS Narrow plea tings and ruchings cf lace and net seem to be used univer sally for trimming the dainty even ing costumes; soft satin, too in the narrowest of bands or folds, occas ionally beaded with small pearls, edges the tiny ruffles and sleeves as well as tunics or flounces which compose the costume. These tunics are draped up often with loops of satin folds having berhaps an end here and there weighted down with mrla'lic ornaments of various sizes. Fancy braid and folds of satin arc often combined in applique designs, wm$ mm ' A If- M M M it!! .1! y j f i i ii i: i ) n ;;--VM- jj.j Sortie Daytime Froclc bow-knots and similar details on tunics of lace or net, with charming effect. Very often one finds the underslips of flouncing embroidered with bows of narrow metallic ribbon or braid either silver or gold or in delicate paste! shades, matching the bodice trimming. Taffeta ribbon with the fascinating picot edge is also favored for these underfbunee trimmings, and airily bob up ar.d down the weight of the tiny pearl or cut-bead ornamentations bring ing ft again into' place.. IS THE WIDE SKIRT LOSING FAVOR At the Fashion Fete held at the Ritz some time ago, the crinoline effect vaa still the most accentuated feature; there were msny dainty airy creations all made with the bouffant skirt, corded or lightly boned, The more conservative afternoon, and the majority of the street costumes, however are gradually narrowing down in widtn. Many of the street suits and dresses have an underskirt nearly as narrow as it was a season or two back, the width and flare being j confirmed entirely to the long tunic or overskirt which is again a much favored detail. Within a short time it is being whispered the full skirt j will be seen only on dressy afternoon costumes and evening frocks. IF IT WASN'T FOR A WOMAN. Ir it wasn't for a woman, here would you have been today? F r her sunshine and her singing Vi hen the shadows were so gray? F r her trust and for her patience Wheritemptaticn dragged you down? If it wasn't for a woman ; Would men ever wear a crown? It it wasn't for a woman, With her sweetm st and her grace With the laughter in her spirit .A -id the sunshine on her face Would we ever make much progress, Would we ever go ahead U ) the summits we are climbing, O l the pathways we must tread? If it wasn't for a woman How would you have got along ' When confronted with the evil, With the tempting and the wrotrg? If it wasn't for a woman, To stand by you and to bring A 'l your strength and resolution Hiw would you have fought the thing? If it wasn't for a woman, For her faith and her love; For her courage in uur conflicts For her trust in things above; If it wasn't for a woman, O what lives we'd sometsmes les,d Wno go dashing on to ruin At such helter-skelter speed! The Bentztown Bard. OPPORTUNITY Tney do me wrong wdio say come no more, When once I knock and to find you in; F( r eyery day I stand out side your door And bid you wake, and ri ;e to figh and win. - Wail not for precious chances pass ed away, Weep net for golden ages oii the wane E eh night I burn the records of the day; At sunrise every soui is born again. L: ugh like a boy at gflendoiv hat . have sped, To vanish joys be blind "and deaf and dumb; Mr judgements seal the dead past past with its dead, But never bind a moment yet to come. Though deep in mire wring not your hands and weep, I lend my arm to all who say, "I can No shamefaced outcast ever sank so deep But yet might rise and be again a man D'sst thou behold thy lost youth all aghast? Dost reel from righteous retribu tion's blow? Then turn from blotted archives cf the past And find the future's pages white as snow. Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell; Art thou a sinner? Sin may be forgiven; E ch morning gives thee wings to flee from hell, Each night a star to guide thy feet to heaven. Walter Malone. Wriiten ios Lst Wei?k Mr. and Mrs. P. H.

Where shall we look for this sup ply? Spinach and other greens are rich I in iron. j Wholewheat, peas, beans, oatmeal, j raisins and prunes are valuable sources of organic iron. j Eggs contain iron and phosphorus in their most assimilable form. The j yolks especially are ricHr. compounds of iron, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium. i Red meats are only cemparaCTv'e rich in iron, nad it is not in such j available forms as in eggs. Meats j are lacking in calcium. j Cow's milk is rich in callcum and j phosphorus in organic form; but is ; poor in iron, potassium and magnes- j ium. Calcium is abundant in green veg- j etables, dried peas and beans, in fruit j and in the outer parts of grains. i Orange juceand prune pulp should I find a place the small child's diet, j Mush made of whole wheat thor-j -oughly cooked, is an excellent cereal for children.
