FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN
DAILY THOUGHT.
A PARADOX.
Dan Cupid is a marksman poor,
Despite his love and kisses,
For while he always hits the mark,
He's always making Mrs.
—Cornell Widow.
The French were a long time com-
ing to that idea of a separate skirt
and waist. A tailored suit for wom-
en didn’t sound dressy enough for
them. When they finally had to ac-
cept the suit as a solemn, established
fact, they tried to take the curse off
of it by making a blouse as exactly
like it in color as the dyeing industry
of France would permit. Thus, we
had a one-piece dress, with a jacket
thrown in.
Now, all of a sudden, the fancy for
the tailored suit seems to have hit
Paris hard. They are making “smok-
ing,” or dinner jackets, and three-
quarter length coats, and always, even
in their everlasting one-piece dresses,
they are making blouses that at least
look as if they were separate, and in-
stead of dyeing materials to keep both
sections in the same color, they make
the top part and the bottom, even of
dresses contrast.
It would be a fine idea if America
and France could get together on the
subject of their styles. Just as this
passion for the tailored suit is hitting
Paris, America has espoused the one-
piece dress with an odd fur piece for
protection against the winter blasts.
However that may be, try to get your
dress in two colors, with the material
of the blouse extending to a point be-
low the waist line, and then you will
be in harmony with the landscape
both in your country and in France.
In suits, long coats, falling below
the knees, are fashionable. The short
Eton jacket has run its course.
With both wool and cotton high in
price, silk is being used increasingly
for both outer and under garments.
Unless given careful treatment, the
lifetime of a garment made from silk
is shorter than one made from either
wool or cotton. :
The following suggestions for its
care are made in a recent bulletin is-
sued by the United States Department
of Agriculture on the selection and
care of clothing.
Silk garments should be brushed
carefully with a piece of velvet or a
very soft brush. Silk may be cut or
marred by too vigorous brushing.
Spots may be removed in much the
same way as from woolen garments.
Silk garments may be dry-cleaned at
home if one is very careful to use gas-
oline or other inflammable fluids out
of doors where there can be no risk of
explosions; or it may be advisable to
send them to a professional cleaner.
Suds made of neutral white soap or
soap chips and cold or luke-warm
water should be used for washable
silk garments. White silk shirts and
waists washed in such suds, rinsed in
water of the same temperature, wrap- |
ped in a bath towel to absorb the ex-
tra moisture, and then pressed with a
warm iron, will not turn yellow for a
long time. Avoid exposure to strong
light while drying, and really hot
irons, for both tend to turn white silk
yellow. 3
Silk must be pressed carefully; in
fact, irons should be used on it as lit-
tle as possible during either making |
or wear.
The dressing in new silk socks and |
stockings tends to break the threads;
they should be washed out before they
are worn.
It goes without saying that it is a
distinct economy to have a good den-
tist examine one’s teeth twice a year
for the beginnings of trouble and to
give them a thorough cleaning and
polishing. But having done this, we
should not feel that our entire duty is
ended, for it is the between-time at-
tention which means so much in the
long run toward keeping them in
shape. . 4
Don’t permit accumulations of tar-
tar to collect, for these hold germs
and encourage decay. Once a week, it
is a good plan, to give the teeth extra
attention. Keep a bottle of peroxide
of hydrogen, a box of the finest pum-
ice, some absorbent cotton and a
bunch of orange-wood sticks handy.
Wrap some absorbent cotton around
the orange-wood stick, turn a little of
the peroxide into a saucer and shake
a little of the pumice out into another
dish. Be particular to keep the per-
oxide corked and the rest of the pum-
ice dry. Moisten the oran -wood
cleaner first in the peroxide, then dip
it into the pumice and go over the
teeth, rubbing them vigorously inside
and out. Wherever a dark stain ap-
pears do your best to remove it.
Lemon juice is whitening to the
teeth, but if used as a mouth wash the
teeth should be rinsed with a little so-
da and water, as any acid will attack
the surface of the teeth if permitted
to remain in contact with them too
long.
If you are
ly to discolor the teeth
through a tube and rinse the mouth
after it. Even although a paste or
‘mouth wash may be used, a good
scrubbing with precipitated chalk and
powdered castile are desirable several
times a week.
If the secretions of the mouth are
acid, remedy the condition by rink
the mouth night and morning wit
half a teaspoonful of milk of magne-
sia in a half glassful of water, or
plain salt, or soda, or borax and water
thoroughly brushed in between the
teeth and in the folds of the mouth
will sweeten and purify. It is very
unpleasant to get near to a person
with improperly cared for teeth, as
the breath is sure to be tainted.
After carefully removing the soiled
spots in your summer dresses, plunge
them into boiling water with one ta-
blespoonful of coarse salt which has
previously been melted. Leave two
minutes, remove, wring out and hang
on the line in the shade. The colorin
the daintiest gown is set till the last
thread of the fabric is worn out. This
is a tried recipe which will give the
utmost satisfaction.

PLEASANT GAP.
Samuel Noll has returned home
from a business trip to Erie.
The whites and the colored baseball
teams at the penitentiary ziayed a
close game on Sunday, the latter win-
ning by the score of 4 to 3.
Mrs. Rachael L. Miller has sold her
residence adjacent to the forks road
to Orin Brooks, who will move into it
as soon as he makes some desired im-
provements.
Lee Sampsel, the Whiterock dinkey
manipulator, is spending his vacation
with his sister and friends at Buffa-
lo, N. Y. He will also take a run over
to Niagara Falls.
The newly appointed woman chair-
man of the Forge district of Spring
township, Miss Anna Valentine, was
at the Gap last Tuesday looking over
the political situation. She is very
enthusiastic and acts like a veteran In
the business.
Prof. Harry Breon’s grammar
school will hold a box social Saturday
evening, the proceeds to be used for
the purchase of popular games and
other needed paraphernalia. The en-
tertainment will be held in the fire
company hall and a liberal patronage
is desired.
The entertainment given by the
Spring township High school students
a week ago proved a decided financial
{ success, which shows that the people
{of the Gap and vicinity cannot be
called slackers when it comes to ap-
peals for aid to any commendable ed-
ucational purpose.
