All clothes wear out through ex-
air, rain, mechan- |
ical strain and bacterial action, says
«Textile Chemist” in the London Dai-
ly Mail. Of these, sunlight is by far
the most harmful. Hence, clothes not
in use should be stored in the dark. |
But light is selective in its action. |
A dark fabric is less affected than one
colored. So that a
Briton’s love for drab-colored cloth- |
ing cannot entirely be condemned.
Moreover, red and yellow light are
less destructive than the blue, violet
and ultra-violet light. |
Not all fabrics are affected alike,

are used. All the new dresses show |
greater attention to sleeves than to
any other part of the costume.

{here is a surprising number of varia-
tions of the 1830 empiecement.
|
Many of the dresses show a draped |
effect at one side. It is interesting to
note that many of the evening frocks
are of velvet and that bright-colored
velvets are quite as much in evidence
as black.
An equally attractive use is made of |
another heavy fabric—faille. A levely
green blue silk is chosen for it. The

the form of flowers of a faded orange

i FASHIONS IN BRIEF
Vanity cases of metal brocade in
Chinese patterns are chic.
Suits of striped woolen fabrics are
trimmed with wool fringe.
Neckwear for next season is built
along waistcoat lines to a very large
extent. :
Hatpins with pendent tops in jew-
oled effects are smart accessories to
the hat.
I'or dressy hats for the season im-
mediately ahead black lace is to be
very much used.
Long snakes in shaded green se-
quins are found in the evening cos-
(ume covering a few inches of what
the absence of sleeve leaves bare.
For fall, simplicity will dominate
the evening gown, more elahorate gar-
ments not coming into their own until
the season for formal entertaining.
The simple and inexpensive little
dance frock will usually be found a
good early season investment.
Sleeve lengths in fall blouses are as
varied as in frocks, long, tight-fitting
sleeves being frequently favored, while
elbow and three-quarter lengths are
just as popular, Some flare at the low-
or part and fit the arm rather smooth-
ly above, while the sleeve that is loose
along its entire length is also often
seen.

Dinner Table Blossoms.
Flowers most used for the dinner
table are the aquilegias or columbine
with their exquisite daintiness of out-
{ine and wide range of color. Their
- apright flowers, long spurred petals,
and tassels of golden streamers, give
a lightness and airiness to the table
that is much to pe desired. About
five blossoms, arranged irregularly
with tall grasses, have a loveliness of
effect that even the flowers from shops
cannot surpass. Blooms of these flow-
ors last a long time in water and the
suds will develop well,

In spite of this, however, it would
not be economical to use all cotton
clothing, since colors fade more rap-
idly on cotton than on wool. When a
dyed woolen fabric is exposed to sun-
light the fabric is attacked first and
the dye is thereby partly protected.
In the cotton fabric the dye protects
the cotton.
A coarse dress material is more 1e-
sistant than a fine one 10 sunlight.
Clothes are not much affected by
pure rain and air. In manufacturing
towns, however, the atmosphere is
often slightly acid, and it is then par-
ticularly destructive to wool.
Some fabrics are most susceptible
to certain kinds of microbes, and
these flourish best under warm and
moist conditions. Clothes wear bet-
ter when they are frequently brushed
free from dust.
Cotton and woolen fibres are very
elastic and strong. They can with-
stand a great deal of rubbing. So
that generally it is not until clothes
have suffered from exposure to sua-
that they fail to resist the
caused by ordinary wear.
Table etiquette seems to give many
people much more worry than it de-
serves. Natural courtesy and consid-
eration for others save us from com-
mitting any dreadful blunders as a
rule, and little lapses in the way of
using the wrong implement with
which to eat a dish are not half as
important as the blushing and em-
barrassed victims believe!
Here are some simple rules which
you can soon learn that will prevent
strains
{ your going wrong on tiny points.
|

Always break bread which accom-
panies soup, fish or meat with your
fingers; never cut it with a knife. Do
not crumble it into the soup or soak
it in your gravy.
As regards the proper use of knives
and forks you will generally find that
these are laid in the order in which
they should be used. All you have to
do is, at the beginning of each course,
to take those which you find nearest
to your plate. ;
Here are a few special points:
Oysters are eaten with a fish knife
and fork. ;
Soft, made-up dishes, such as veg-
etarian entrees and fish rissoles, with
| a fork only. For sweets, also, a fork
|
i
{
i
only is correct. |
The fork only rule, however, must
be modified sometimes. f you find
that using a fork by itself tends to
make bits of pastry crust hop out on
the floor or juice splash on the table-
cloth, take a spoon as well, rather
than embarrass your neighbors and
yourself by such antics. After all,
etiquette was made for people, not
people for etiquette, and it is not well
bred, in the best sense of the word,
to carry any rule to an absurd ex-
treme. |
If you find, to your horror, that you
have inadvertantly started your fish
with a steel knife, or any such small
blunders, don’t attempt to retrieve it
or to apologize to your neighbors.
Just go on quietly and the chances
ave that no one else will notice the
mistake. : .
It is a dreadful crime, for obvious
reasons, to take butter or salt with
your own knife, instead of with the
implement provided.
Fruit, such as oranges, apples or
pears, chould be peeled with a fruit
knife and eaten with a fruit knife and
fork—never with the fingers. This
peeling wants a certain amount of
practice to do nicely. If you are
doubtful whether you can manage 1t,
decline the course and take an Oppor- |
tunity of practicing at home before
next time.
«Never talk with your mouth full”
is a maxim that was dinned into all of |
us in our nursery days. But it should !
be framed, “Never have your mouth |
so full that you can’t talk.” Other-|
wise we should all be condemned to |
eat our meals in dead silence, or tol
take twice as long over them. | |
If you are entertaining, don t press |
food on your guests after they have!
refused. This is often done under the |
impression that it shows ‘hospitalit 13 |
but really it is embarrassing and bad
orm.
One of the most unpardonable of
all table blunders is to discuss at
meals unpleasant subjects such as ill-
ness, operations, visits tothe dentist
and any other topic calculated to spoil ;
the appetites of those present. |
Often the industrious housewife
finds to her disgust that her jelly re- |
fuses to “jell.” Another trouble she |
has is that, in order to make her jel-
ly jell, she is obliged to boil her fruit |
juices for a long time, a result being
that the product loses the natural fla-
vor which is so desirable, acquiring a |
cooked taste. The reluctance to jell |
arises from an insufficiency of ‘“pec- |
tin” in the fruit juices. On that ac- |
count strawberry jelly is particular- |
ly liable to prove unsatisfactory in
point of flavor. This can be overcome
by making from apple juice, a concen-
|
trated syrup, a little of which added |
to any fruit juice will make her jelly
jell properly without much prelimi-
nary boiling. The housewife can make
a supply of it when apples are plenti-
ful and store it away for use at other
seasons. {

Two Pennsylvanians are included in’
the list of nine persons who this week
will receive silver medals, each accom-
panied by a special cash award of $250,
given for “conspicuous examples of note-
worthy service,” while in the employ of
the Bell Telephone System.
Miss Katherine Lind, Operator in
Charge of the telephone office at Mahaf-
fey, Pa., and Frank C. Wells, a lineman
in the Pittsburgh organization, are
among those who qualified for these
medals, provided by the Vail Memorial
Fund, established in honor of the late
Theodore N. Vail, President of the
American Telephone & Telegraph Com-
pany.
A gold medal, with a special cash
award of $1,000 has been given Mrs.
Mildred Lothrop, Chief Operator of the
Mrs. Mildred Lothrop, chief operator
at Homer, Neb., and obverse of the

Northwestern Bell Telephone Company
in Homer, Nebraska. All three of the
above persons were among the 49 Bell
System employees who, a few months
ago, received bronze medals. The
bronze medal, however, was not accom-
panied by a cash award.
Miss Lind was at her home in Mahaf-
fey when a fire broke out in that town,
Sunday morning, June 26, 1920. Hurry-
ing to the telephone office, she relieved
one of the operators on duty and assisted
in calling nearby towns for help to fight
the flames. As the fire neared the
telephone office che instructed the other
operators to carvy the records to a
place of safety, and remained on duty
at the switchboard while firemen played
streams of water on the roof of the
building to kecp it from catching fire.
She remaincd at her post until the fire

the heavily charged wire and released
his fellow worker, just in time to save
the man’s life.
Mrs. Lothrop, who qualified for the
most coveted of the Vail medals, is the
mother of five sons, the youngest being
twins, 16 years old. Two of her boys
served over-seas during the War.
The Telephone Central Office in Homer
was in Mrs. Lothrop’s house. A cloud-
burst, on the night of May 31, 1920,
devastated the Omaha Creek Valley.
While one of her boys rang the village
fire bell, Mrs. Lothrop, at two o’clock in
the morning, sat, lightly clad, at her
switchboard, calling telephone sub-
seribers to warn them of the approach-
ing flood. She stayed at her post until
the waters were waist-high and the
switchboard was put out of commission.
She reached a point of safety only after
was under control. The other employee |
of The Bell Telephone Company of
Pennsylvania to receive a silver medal |
was one of a crew that was erecting
a telephone line near Larimer on July
8, 1920, when a fellow workman came |
in contact with a 2,200 volt power cir-
cuit. With no protection except the
tape around the handle of his pliers, |
Wells, at the risk of his own life, cut’
-
wading through water breast-high.
About 25 houses were swept from their
foundations, and many were carried
down the stream by the flood. As much
as she values the gold medal, it is
probable that Mrs. Lothrop takes even
more pride in the gifts of potatoes
cream, butter, fruit and other such pro-
duce, sent her almost daily by the farm-
ers of the Omaha Creek Valley.

A Personal Invitation
NOTES FROM THE STAT
HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
100,000 people in Pennsylvania have
tuberculosis; some of them may live
ten years or more. Unless excellent
cave is taken during that time they
will spread the contagion so that
another 100,000 will take their place.
The State Sanatoria have a capaci-
ty of 2200 beds. Not only is it impos-
sible to take in the great number of
advanced cases, but very frequently
patients of this type refuse to be
moved to a place far distant from
home and friends. Meanwhile the
children of the household are breath-
ing in the active germs, with the re-
sult that they later become public
charges.
Realizing
that the removal of an
advanced case to a distant sanator-!

complishing any lasting good, othe
