VWw' friend of mine, Who It novdr happy
MrtMftf she la making BorriethlriRl ttrtlatlo
-i ier hands usuairy out of nothing
nr rm n seemingly worthless nrtlelo.
It Afts been said that the American
temf of only moderate clrtjumstnncea
qrtwUHfl enough wasted food1 to tho gar
fc-gstj can after ono meal to provide three
14 'or a frugal French family.
Likewise, according to my friend, tho
ftver&sje household destroys enough boxes
to keep tho home for a lifetime provided
With slrtlstle furniture
'to tho woman who Isn't Ingenious, for
instance, a condensed milk box or a soap
box 1b? merely something to bo used as
ire-wood or, perhaps, to mako a speech
from. To tho woman who knows how,
It 19 ft potential bookcase, chair, chafing
dish (able or window scat.
Inspired by a lovoly hanging lantern
that rrty fttortd mado from a salt bot -or
was t a candle box? I decided to In
dulge' In a little handicraft myself. To
that end I sought a book and found ono
f great practical valuo.
According to Its author, no especial art
training lsf necessary for the woman who
would design and create her house fur
niture, Alt that she needs arc a few sim
ple tools. Innumerable boxes, some nails,
eome wood stain and vnrnlsh and plonty
of tlmo. Qlven these she can mako any
thing froni an artlstlQ clock cose to hide
.the body of her ugly alarm clock to a
Wonderfully comfortable window seat that
requires four soap boxes for Its making
and combines a plant stand and a bdok-coso-
nlong- with Its seating accommoda
tions. For somo tlmo now tho Bquare as a
basic principle of decoration has- .been
Impressing Itself on artistic people Box
furniture naturally follows this principle,
and ono of tho chief charms of a room
furnished in this homely and Inexpensive
fashion Is tho simplicity and rcstfulness
of the deslgrt.
There Is a Joy, too, not to bo gainsaid
or equaled which Is derived from living
with things that aro the result of one's
own labor and Ingenuity. What plena
tiro could supersede that of possessing a
beautiful desk which money couldn't buy
and which qost ou tho 10 or IB cents
that you gavo tho grocery man for a dis
carded condensed milk box, plus tho prlco
of nails and paint.
I know of no more interesting or profit
able hobby which a mother could encour
age In her boy or girl than In tho careful
making of artistic bo furniture. It has
the added virtue of lnexpenshenesi.
Most novices, however, dlscourago them
selves by nlways attempting the most
difficult articles to bo mado rather than
by working up to a stato of proficiency
with prnctico on tho small, simple ones.
A bookcase to hold as many as BOO vol
umes can bo achloved by the clover work
man, but a plant stand, made from a talt
box and beautifully gtoncllcd Is, In my
opinion, tho more sensible object for tho
tyro io consider.
To those of my readers who are Inter
ested und who send mo a stamped, self
addreered onvelopo I will glvo tho name
of tho practical book on tho mnklng of
box furniture. M'USS.

Little Girl Wants Skates

are too poor to buy her another pair. Will
some girl who no longer wants to skate
write to you for my name and then my lit.
tie friend and I can go oft together and
hava nice times? j, jj
I agree with you In thinking t would be
pleasant for you and your friend to skate
together Instead of having to take turps
on the one pair. We have ypur name on
Ale. and await a call for It from some other
little girl, one who has outgrown them and
is now interested In other things. Who will
send for the name pf the generous little
friend?

Have you seon tho now Dutch panties?
The) 're not a feminine variety of overalls,
as the uninitiated would bo led to suspect.
They're not tho Insignia of the, feminists
The woman who wants to "wear tho trou-
Bers" in her own honfo Isn't the sort to
whom Dutch panties appeal. But the fem
inine typo, who likes frilly things, won't be
able to resist them
They may be made of dainty batiste,
crepe do chine or any modish material, Tho
top Is fitted, hugging tho wasp-llko waist
with commertdablo snucnoss. On either hip
are wide pockets, llko tho panniers soon on
debutante dance frocks
Since bathing knlokers have set tho pace,
lingerie keeps up a worthy stride with
them For taffeta knickers of balloon
like proportions arc fastened nt tho knees
with silk lacers These gie a delightful
"stuck-out" appearance to tho frock.
Dear Madam I wonder If lou could tell me
something; that will keep my silk stocking
from rubbing- at the hee!7 Eory season I have
Riles of silk stockings that are worn out at the
eel and perfectly good elsewhere Sometimes
they get runs It I u-w them rouchly What
would you do? JANG
A woman I know Hnc3 tho heels of her
pumps with soft suede This keeps the
shoe from slipping up and down, thus rub
bing the stocking.
Also, a band of machine stitching run
around tho stocking about knee depth often
prevents runs Tills would have to be iery
carefully done, or jou would harm your
stocking, unless tho silk Is heavy. The
machine stitching should bo the average
size "Ease" the stooking as you stitch It.
Dear Madam I am maklnc up a flesh pink
crepe de chlno dress I can't seem to find any-
thinK to trim It with. The color Is.vory pale,
and I am making; it up In Itusslan blouse style.
What would jou use? Your advice will bo
appreciated J. K. It.
I should keep my dress all flesh-colored,
if I wero you, although tho right shado
of Delft blue could bo used with your
gown. However, I doubt If it would Im
prove on the pale-pink color schemo. Why
not edge tho bottom of your Russian blouse.
tho cuffs and sailor collar with white
soutache braids if you want contrast? You
can buy vnrlous oharmlng borders in tho
embroidery shops. Simply outline these
with tho braid and tenr away the paper
from undernenth. Flesh-pink braid would
also bo pretty.
Dear Madam I want to choose a summer
evening wrap. I do not -a ant n brlcht-colorcd
one: I profer something dark. I want to wear
it with light afternoon dresses In tho city and
for tho seashoro later In the summer, t am
tall nnd light, With blue eyes DATUiY.
Why not ohooso one of tho oharmlng navy
taffeta wraps that are so smart this sea
son? They nre dark enough, although they
may not be as fancy as you wish Select
something with ruffles on it. A deep ruf
fle Bet on the sleevo makes a cuff, nnd a
deeper ono set on tho waistline makes a
long-walsted coat nowadays. A dainty
flowered half-lining would look well.
Dear Madam la Irish laco In again? I
noticed that you recommended It In a recent
faBhlon I have e large collar that cost a
(rood hit when It was new, and I should llko
to use it If It Is still In style.
Also Is foulard silk In oguo for summer
frocks 1 OLOIUA.
I have seen Irish laco used on somo of
the smartest gowns In this city and New
York, but not ns a collar. Medallions of
baby IrlBh crochet are used on net frocks,
nnd narrow bands and plcot edges of Irish
on satin, batiste and crepe do china bloUsos
It Is also used on Philippine lingerie. Hold
on to your collar for a while.
Yes, foulard Is both fashionable and
practical for one-pleoe froaks.
ASTHMA is not a disease any more,
ii It li not n, spasmodic condition of tho
bronchial muscle fibre's It Is not a "neu
rosis." It Is not hereditary, catching oi
Incurable. It Is a symptom produced by
sensitization to somo protfctn pollen, nnl'
thai dandruff, or perhaps somo protein In
the food, Or, In somo ensos, derived from
bacteria or cntamebas present In a Beptio
focus, such ns diseased tonsils, pyorrhea
pockets, dental root abscesses The victim
li Vulnerable to tho particular protein sub
stantia to which ho Just happens to bo sensi
tized, much as somo cantttkorous mortals
aro sensitized to shell fish, caterpillars or
other factors of hives.
The only way to determine positively
what particular protein 1b tho cause of
spasmodic or bronchial asthma Is by ender
mal tests. That Is, n minute quantity of
each of tho several posslblo proteins Is In
jected Into, not under, tho skin of tho pa
tient, until a characteristic wheal or hlo
Ilka reaction showsj which of tho proteins
Is his Nemesis. Halng thus discovered
what produces his attacks, all hi has to do
Is avoid tho causative protoln.
For example, a teacher suffered an nsth
matlc attack every tlmo sho visited her
unclo's home li tho country. The attack
camo on only nfter she had entered tho
house. Sho had no attacks whllo she was
at homo In tho city. Tho attacks occurred
regardless of tho season. Uncle kept a cat.
Tho teacher reacted to an endormal test
with cat dandruff. Undo kilted tho cat
Tho teacher had no more asthma
And again: A stenographer down with
"grip" which Is a moro namo wo give
an Illness until wo can find out what is tho
matter suffered an intenso and alarming
attack of bronchia, asthma, which Insted
for some days But this occurred over a
week after tho "grip" had passed away.
Tho search for tho guilty protein was in
vain until a llttlo milk was used for tho
ondermal test, nnd tho patient reacted
strongly to tho milk. Milk wns cut out of
tho diet.
A gontlcmnn of leisure In fact, a news
paper editor found himself regularly af
flicted with mild asthmatic wheezing, stuffl
nees. waterlne of tho nose and eyes, nnd
ecncral distress at about 1 o'clock each
aftornoon. He reacted to cat dandruff. Ills
folks kept no cats hadn't any use for 'cm.
But a pet tabby slept on tho rug beforo the
gan grato where tho editor took lunch oery
day. The editor Joined tho Bread and Milk
Club, and, suro enough, It cured cat fever.
Absent treatment, that was.

The Nine-Day Bogy Returns to Life
I am told a child should remain In bed
nine days after the breaking out of the rash
of measles. Is It right?
Answer No. It Is old wives' gossip.
Generally tho child should remain In bed
only whllo tho fever is present, which Is
three or four days (this Is when tho rash
Is most pronounced). As soon as the fever
Is gone, let tho child get up. As soon as
tho child feels llko going out to play, (lot
him go out to play.
