RECOMMENDED TO SEAMSTRESS THR fnirly efficient seamstress who fms what lhe French call "a sense of clothes," can take n small allowance In money and dress much hotter on It tlmn richer women who lack good taste. Also she gets more pleasure •ut of her achievements and there are n good many women in lids favored Innil who have the knack of doing much with little. Thanks to the wide publicity given by newspapers to all matters of dress in centers of fash ion no American need ever he behind the times in styles. Two afternoon gowns shown In the picture here, may be recommended to the seamstress who undertakes to make her own dresses. They offer a choice between long, straight lines for (hone who admire the slim silhouette ■ml curved ones for those who are t<s> slender, or those who tint! un broken lines unbeeomlng to them. Trlcoletto with an open or drop Little Maids in Silk Attire x IT IK, or i; ought to lio, n great ticca- : Rlon for the very little girl when 1 she arrives at the splendor of her first i ■llk tires*. With It she hus responst-1 Millies tlirust upon her; she must he tHUK’it to he careful to keep It elean ■ml thus conu*s tlu> beginning of her training in noutness and the unfailing charm of daintiness. Fashion decrees ■llk coats and frocks for little maids by the time their third birthday dawns and has selected sprightly taffeta as tlie prettiest and most practical of weaves for them, although neither crepe tie chine nor georgette are denied them. Hut these softer silks are used In light colors for dress-up times wlple taffeta is sturdier and extends it* use fulness to coats and dresses that will stand more wear. Taffeta in dark blue makes the charming little frock shown in the pic ture on a little girl of four. It has a quaint flavor of old times (which it is, easy to achieve In taffeta) with Its short baby waist, round neck and wide, ruffled collar. The bottom of THAT SPLASH OF COLOR. Organdie and novelty cotton frocks are good looking. Imported embroid ered voiles dotted In varl-color are given the splash of interesi by n vivid aasb of organdie with butterfly loops and trailing sash ends. Another treat ment which is very effectively used In these voiles and In the organdie frocks Is two-inch Insertions of shirred tulle or of tucked organdie In a cou-1 trusting shade, which give* a much stitch stripe, makes the haridsomi straight line dress. The design Is aim pie lint original, achieving a sleeveless Jacket effect in the body which slips over an underbodice carrying the sleeves. Wide satin ribbon, In u soft fluidity, makes a short crushed ham! across the front, simulating a girdle and square buttons are set at each side where it terminates. The el bow sleeves are finished with turil hack cuffs that employ a hand of rib bon and buttons In the same way. There is a very simple neck with sail or collar at the back. A plain satin underskirt and bodice supply the foundation for the attrac tive frock of georgette, which might lie made of voile. It features the new neck mode —high ut back and open In front, and very full niching of plaited silk with |dliked edges, at the bottom j of a full, short tunic. The girdle is a I folded length of bias satin. t the waist is tlnishedfWith a frill and hand of the silk, the band having slashes In It for a narrow ribbon gir dle to slip through. Short ruffled sleeves are caught up at the elbow and tied with ribbon. White sox and Iduck slippers are In keeping with this little affair of other days. Hither taffeta or cotton will be suc cessful in the pretty embroidered frock shown. It Is scalloped tit the bottom and set on to a narrow yoke also cut in wide scallops. A very simple stltchery like feather or cat stitching runs parallel with the scallops and little rose buds arc embroidered abovu It. The same decoration appears on turned back cuffs that finish elbow sleeves and there is a sash of the dress material sapped through slashes cut in the body of the frock. » | more hand-worked effect than the in ! sen ion of narrow laces. Yellow or gandie is used In this way with gray 1 organdie and white tulle in the pale j colored frocks. Novelty Ribbons. New novelty ribbons are brilliant al lies of the woman whose expenditures must be restricted, for they may l>e I fashioned Into evening bodice* of I | bright color and rich effect, as weP J ns Into girdles and pnnels.

With a total population of 31,000 in western Samoa, of which less than 1,- 000 are whites or half-castes, the de mand In confectionery Is mainly for hard candies, better known locally as boiled lollies, retailing at 25 cents a pound. These are small varieties, dif fering In color and flavor, and Import ’d in five-pound tfhs. Lozenges are little known.

SCOUTS WANT A BOY CENSUS At the recent annual meeting of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America, Vice President Mortimer L. Schiff In offering a resolution calling attention to the need of a more com plete census of the youth of the nation, said that this was “a resolution hav ing to do with what probably every body copnected with boy scout work has run up against, the lack of data about the youth in this country. As has been stated, we know the number of hogs, but we don’t know the num ber of boys.” The resolution declares that it Is of the utmost Importance that there should be available for use of the scouts and other organizations inter ested in the welfare of the youth of the nation, all possible data relating to this subject, and states that inves tigation lias proved that practically no uniform data of this sort Is available ns a basis for a thorough study of the situation and further development of their respective programs for the serv ice of the youth. It was therefore resolved to request that the federal government and the various states of the United States shall at their earliest convenience, through their various appropriate de partments, collate and make available for the scouts’ use and that of other organizations such data as will pro vide intelligent, efficient and economic promotion of the program tending to the making of good citizenship; and that the United States bureau of edu cation, census bureau and department of child welfare be especially urged to collate such data as Is absolutely nec essary for a thorough investigation of the problems Involved. FIREMEN FORM SCOUT TROOPS Boy Scout troops are to be formed and attached to the fire houses in Pas saic, N. J. Commissioner Preiskel says: “Boy Scout troops are to be formed and attached to the fire houses in Pas saic, N. J. We want as many troops of Boy Scouts formed in our fin houses as can be accommodated. I want to offer a prize to the house developing the best troop. We want to set the pace and maintain a lead, on all other municipalities and really ‘do things’ in scouting. • “I cannot think of any work a mar could have in which he would he mor privilege!} or he able to render a great er telling service, than the work of as sisting in the training of the youth.” The troops attached to the fin houses will be specially trained in th< prevention of fires, handling of ropi lines, etc. Special requirements wil' be adopted for this branch of tin work, with the possibility of the adop tion of special insignia for the scouts who become members of such troops ROBERT J. THORNE ON SCOUTING Robert .7. Thorne, president of the Chicago Scout council, is one of th“ country’s most distinguished business men. He is president of a large mai' order house and director of Severn other corporations anil banks. Recent ly in a talk made by Mr. Thorne to a group of men interested in boy scout organization, he said: “The thing that appeals to me most in the boy scout movement is the boy scout habit to ‘do a good turn daily.’ As I become more and more actively interested in this movement and prac tice its precepts with the boys, I re alize I have been missing a great deal i.i life; that I have been living only for myself. “The realization that I am doing something for someone else makes me the happiest man in Chicago. Any man who has intimate contact with the boy scouts finds that it warms and en larges his heart. M.v only regret Is that I was not a boy forty years later so that I could have been a boy scout.” SCOUTS NOW IN 52 COUNTRIES. Few people realize the magnitude of the boy scouts as a world move ment for boyhood betterment. There are boy scouts now in 52 nations. When you stop to consider that there are at present approximately 500,000 scout leaders in the United States alone and that a million and a half boys In this country have had the bene fit of scout tiaining during the ten years since the movement started, you can see that if scouting is conducted on anywhere near so great a scale in other countries the figures are stag gering. Tfie fundamentals of scouting are the same everywhere, so, though each country is organized independent ly, the boy scouts is really one great big world movement, perhaps numeri cally the largest ever known. GOOD TURNS BY BOY SCOUTS. Somerville, Mass., Troop No. 7, act ed as messengers during a telephone strike. The Rotarians of Sheboygan, Wis., have bought a week-end camp as a present to the boy scouts. East* Chicago boy scouts plan the construction of a wireless station ea pable of sending messages 800 miles and receiving from 1,500 to 2,000 miles away. A class in radio telegraphy Is being formed.

Many of the marble statuettes sold in art stores are cast-—not carved. The mold used consists of two parts —an outer casting of plaster of paris and an inner mold of rubber. The solution poured into the mold is composed chiefly of marble dust —mere waste. After the mold lias been removed the statue is scraped and polished, and the result Is a finished work of art. Approved Subject to Conditions. Mrs. Pester—There’s a movement on foot to compel husbands to pay sal aries to their wives the same as to anyone else who works for them. Don’t you think that’s fair? Her Husband —Eminently fair, if the husband reserves the right to fire those who prove unsatisfactory.” Case Seemed Hopeless Use of Doan’*, However, Brought Complete Recovery and the Reault* Have Been Lasting. “I used to think my back would surely break,” says Mrs. H. S. Fix, prominent lodge woman, 340 Carpen ter Street, Reading, Pa. “My back pained me constantly. I was as help- } less as a baby and a nurse had to stay with me all the time.

N. Y, Prayed for Cure Finds it After 10 Years Food Would Sour and Boil —Teeth Like Chalk _ * Mr. Herbert M. Gessner writes from his home in Berlin, N. H.: I had stomach trouble over ten years; keptj getting worse. I tried everything for relief but it came back worse than ever. Last fall I got awfully bad; could only eat light loaf bread and tea. In January I got so bad that what I would eat would sour and boil; my teeth would be like chalk. I suffered terribly. I prayed every day for something to cure me. One day I read about EATONIC and told my wife to get me & box at the drug store as I was going to work at ip. m. I took one-third of it and began to feel relief; when it was three-fourths gone, I felt fine and when it was used up I had no pains. Wife got me another box but I have felt the pain but twice. I used five tablets out of the new box and I have no more stomach trouble. Now I write to tell you how thankful I am that I heard of EATONIC. I feel like a new man; I eat what I like, drink plenty of water, and it never hurts me at ail.
