THE KIMONO CHARMING IN ITS
SIMPLICITY? NOT SO, SAYS JAPAN
(Women of the Orient Demand a Less Complicated
National Garment What Has Become of the
Fireless Cooker, the Paper Bag" and
Similar Fads?
SOMKHOU. ono always nssoclatcs the
kimono with extreme simplicity, tt Is
the slum Raiment, worn when In the
Intlmncy of one's boudoir, slpco It enn
tie dontieil with so little trouble. In
deed, to such mi exteiit tloo.M It convey to
the occidental mind a scarcity of ntilro It
will W Irttcreatlng to 'leant Hint In Its
native land thcro Is serious thought of
dlscardiiiff this graceful garment for eco
nomic reasons.
The women of Jnjmn rctiulre for a eel
of kimonos eight rolls of rubric, and
30,000 stitches must ho nut In before they
nro completed. And tills Is (ho simple
kimono.
It Is put forward that the tlmo and
enerjjy spent In making tho.to garments
constitute, a serious drain upon the re
sources of tho fair sex, tho poor, in par
ticular, having to spend nearly nil nf
their money on their clothes.
Thoroforo a national movement has
beon started to tlovlso somo Inore sultnblo
modo of apparel for tho feminine In
habitants of tho Laud of the Hlstng Sun.
Of course, now, the kimono nst worn
within sound of Urontltvny but, thou,
thnt for a street rostume, even In
Japan would be almost too unaffocted.
YOU remember tho paper-bag cookery
fad with which wo were all, more or
Jess, attacked several years ago? From
oup to nuts, everything was cooked In
paper bags. Indeed, wo couldn't lmaglno
how wo nnd our mothers and grand
mothers beforo us managed to prcparo
nny sort of a decent meal without theso
lndlsponsablo adjuncts. How many of
us now, I wonder, nro preparing their

Tho mero coins to tho theatre with a man
by no means derlarea that you aro Koine to
marry him. or course, if you nro much
together your friend!) will begin to suspect
that you aro engaged, ns I suppose that in
what you mean by tha exnression "feernlnp
ronipany."-for unless there Is nn engage
ment you should not go only with liim to
parties or tho theatre. "Keeping company"
is pot a -fair proposition. It keeps tho girl
from her other friends and gives the Im
prewiion thar she intends to marry tho man
In whom she is eo obviously Interested, nnd
J et. by tho arrangement made the man Is
free tn break the half-engagement any hme
,o iii.iy iKfi inciincu; mere is no promise to
bind him. The expression "gentleman
friend"-should not be used.

Dear Madam Will vou kindly tn me through
your paper how to wash a whha broadcloth
collar that hue become sotled.7 Aleo. what does
the name MarcelU mean? ItHADKlt.
The collar. can be Washed In warm water
and soapsuds, being careful not to rub any
soap on the cloth, It would be better, how
ever, to clean, it with gasoline or a non
littlamma.ble cleaner which comes for the
purpose. Good results can also be obtained
by using magnesia, or fresh bread crumbs
to clean a collar of this kind.
MarcelU is the feminine of Marcellus,
which means "of Mars," or "warlike."

Spirits of camphor for a fever blister that
Is just beginning wilt frequently check the
progress ot the sore, but is not so sure a
remedy as vaseline or com cream., it the
sore Is kept covered with a softening grease,
no hard scab will form and the blister will
become discouraged In a day pr two and
go away. But l( the sore has.been allowed
to spread or break open, apply some anti
septic solution several times a day. The
best ot these is iodine. The colorless) Iodine
cart be used and In no way disfigure, tha

fever blisters may be caused by cold,
but more frequently by indigestion or an

MY MARRIED LIFE
By ADELB GAllKlSON
T
AWOKK Sunday morning wltli the ien-
Xftaiion of something heavy hanging over
my head, it was not yet daylight, nnd t
lay for several minutes trying lo remember
what ll wah that was oppressing me.
Then It came lo mo. This was the tlav
when .lank was lo land In New Yotk nfter
a year's nbtenee. I had three things tn
do during the (lay, each ot which held
possibility of unpleasantness.
I must lolcphono .lack at his old hotel.
Tor lip would not know where to find me
I tlrratlctl lintnensiiralily to llo this with
lite possibility of I licit y III tile room.
1 must lento tilcky to go to Lillian (i.ilcv
dinner ttlone while I dlltetl with .lack
I must break the news to Jui'l! Mint
during bis year's absence I hud met nnd
married Picky.
Ily n tacit understanding neither frlcl.y
nor I had mentioned .lark's cmnlng slnci:
Wednesday, when he had made the Rceii
about it before l.llllnn. lie liatl been
repcittiint thru for his outburst, but 1
feared iinutlter when I should telephone
.lank.
However. It wouttl be liotirt be-fore .lark
would resell the old-foshloinMl. little bolel
In tho flreenwlPh "Village" seel ion. where
he hud kfpl rooms fr yours. I tinned over
dttil tried to go to sleep itgulti.
lint I found It nit impossible feat. I
tossnd and turned mil!! Hie llftt rnys of
sunlight c-iniiB through m open window
nnd 1 iK-nril ICntlo stirring in the kitchen.
Then a possibility which, nuecrly enough,
I had not thought of before, made mo
spring from my bed, shlverlngly shut tlio
window nnd dress rapidly. Tho rooms
were i cold I was gluil to omit my usual
shower.
In hlH letter Jack had nslted me to tele
phone to bis "old tllffglimt." knowing tlio
possibility that 1 might have teft my board
Ing house. But tho thought had never
struck mo before that ho might telephone
Mrs. Htewnit, with whom m mother and
I had lived for so long, to tlnd out If 1
were still there.
If he did so. she would, of course, tell
him that I had nnirrlud while ha was
nwny.
Ol'F TO MttS. STIIWAIITS.
In some way I must, get word lo Mrs.
Stewart not to tell .lack thnt I us mar
ried. 1 could not telephone mieh a message
to her. Perhaps, If I hurried, I could got
to her homo and bnck before Dicky awak
ened. On Sundays It is his custom to sleep
Into.
1 went to the kitchen, where Katie looked
at mo In astonishment. She hud Just te
turiied from the early service which she
attended every Sunday morning.
"Vou seeclt. Missis (Ira ham?" she asked,
anxiously. "Vou up so early."
"No, Katie, but I hnve nn errand to which
I must nttentl (hit morning 1 think I shall
bo back before Jlr. Clmhain awakens. If
he should Inqulro for me, lell him I have
gone for a wall: and will he back stinn."
"All right T feex breakfast right nwny."
"1 only want coffee and a roll. Katie."
"Dot foolish lalk," Katie returned. "I
feex nice breakfast, you put."
Somehow Katie's niiitter-of-fiiiit brusquo
ness relieved the tension ot my nerves. I
did up my hair, bathed my face and hands
untl finished dressing., then went to lite
illnlng room, where Katlu had laid my
place.
I nto a very satisfactory breakfast. Then,
putting on my outer garments, I let my
self quietly out of the front door nnd
walked swiftly to the nearest station of
tho siibwny.
I had quite a long Journey before me.
Mes Stewart. Ill whoso homo my mother
antl 1 had boarded for so many years, lived
In a rambling big hotiso In a quiet section
of Ilrooklyit, near Prospect I'ark. 1 loft
the subway at llrooklyn Urldgo, then
boarded an elevated train which would
take mo within threo blocks of tho old
place.
As 1 walked those three blockn memories
of my mother and of tho quiet years we
had lived in the Iioiieo to which I was
hastening came quick and fast.
I felt a guilty little pang that I hail nnt
once gono lo see my old landlady since my
murtiage. I felt It still more strongly
when, tho mold having ndmltted mo. I
found Mrs. Stewart In tho little sitting
room which had bee.li my mother's and
mine.
"Anil It Is yourself at last?" she asked
reproachfully, even as she klssetl me heart
ily " thought you hud forgotten mo en
tirely, so I did."
"Vou know I could never forget you. Mrs
Stewart," I said, feeling a very hypocrite
as I spoke. I dreaded lo tell her that It
was not my wish to see her but my desire
to obtain a favor from her that prompted
my early Alslt.
"(if course, you're going to stny to din
ner, and why didn't you bring, your hus
band along?" Sho shot the questions at me
in Hie rapid-fire fashion I remembered. I
mentally braced myself to toll her tho truth.
A rnOMISH AND A HINT
"Dear Mrs. Stewart," I said, taking her
hand. "You must forgive me, but I came
today only on nn errand, and 1 must go
away again almost ot once. I am coming
to spend the day with you very soon, how
ever." "Well, 1 thought It was too good to be
true If you hud como all this way to visit
a poor old woman." she said shrewdly
"Hut that's nil an old woman has any right
to uxpert from a bride. They're .thought
less creatures, brides. I whb one once my
telf. and I know." She laughed heartily,
then nalteig my bhonlder.
"Out with it, whatever you want of me,"
she said. "Vou know I'll do anything I
-,n fni- VOU."
I felt a curious reluctance to tell her
what I wanted, but I knew the thing must
bo ilone. ,. ,
"Vou remember my mothers cousin,
Jack lllckett?" I began.
"Do I remember him? Ood love him, I
should say I did remember him," she an
swered me; then with another shrewd look
at me. "Why?"
"Vou know he went away to South Amer
ica a jear ago, just after mother died, and
before I had ever met Mr. Oraham?"
She nodded. It was never her way to
waste words.
"He's coming back today. I had a letter
from him a few days ago saying so."
"I forwarded It to your address myself."
"Yes, and I thank you for doing so,"
hastened to assure her. "Hut you see, he
doesn't know anything about Mr. Graham,
doesn't dream that I'm married, and I '
"You want me not to tell him if he calls
you up here."
"You are positively uncanny, Mrs. Stew
art," I cried. "How did you guess It?"
"How could I help gueudng a?" she re-
torted'Hut you needn't have worried. I
wouldn't have told him anyway. That's
a surprise I wouldn't want to be the one
to hand to Mr. Jack lllckett. I wish you
joy in your Job of telling him."
"Why, Mrs. Stewart, whatever do you
mean?"
"None are bo blind as those who win not
see," Mrs. Stewart returned cryptically.
Her words lingered in my ears long after
I had left her with the understanding that
if' Jack should call her up Bhe would simply
say I had moved and give him my new
telephone aaaress.
Why did she call me "blind"?

HOW TO HELP
I YOUR CHILD TO
! GROW BEAUTIFUL
j Hy I.UCREZIA BOIU
I The t'ainom Spanish Prima Donna.
FKW mothers realise that the future
health and beauty of their children are
inrgelv dependent upon themselves. A
ttit.lli.ri .litlv tn her child Is to watch
.nicfnllv the mental "nil physical develop
ment or her oirspnng.
o that both may nt
t ii las the greatest p'er-
reitlnll.
Tim good looks Of
iiintiv people have been
l n'l I ed by foolfsll
linliim formed when
ihev wero children.
Watt li for such hnhltH
In ntir child, tf she
i...i.tu tint f'f.ntlt mien
ci.titlntlnlly, yon dioiitii
investigate nnd find
out until cntisi's iter
to do thin. Adenoids
mi V be the root Of
lA-ciiEZtA noai
the trouble in. m little growth interfere
Willi th- ht'..itliliig. nnd a physician should
he simitiHiucd to teinove them. Unless they
nre removed In time they niny enuse your
child to have u stupid, vacant expression
that will niiike her anything but attractive.
The damage done by mouth breathing
should be called to your attention, so Hint
you will enrrei t this bad hnblt in your
child. It is not good for ihe teelh. Irri
tates tlte throat and spoils the shape of
tho mouth. Watch your child when she
is at piny, work or sleep, nnd sto that her
month is closed.
The habit of sucking the thumb is one
that should be checked In earliest Infancy.
Do not delude yotirseir with the thought
that tho child will outgrow II. A fetv
children tin stop voluntarily, but Hie ma
jority Keep up the habit until they nro
quite old. t'onstnnt sticking nf Hie thumb
will enlarge the mouth and ratine the tippet
teeth to project, anil n pacifier will often'
do the name evil.
An older child who Is past the teeth
ing ago ami still Insists on sucking her
thumb should lie broken of tho habit by
painting thu thumb with bitter aloes. If
this proves of no nvnll a stronger form of
discipline may be administered.
watch nmt twitKFi'r.T.Y
Tho habit of squinting Hie eyes Is qulto
disastrous to beauty. This habit Indicates
thnt there is something wrong with tho
vision. A visit to a competent oculist
fchould not be delayed.
It is very Important that n mother should
teach iter little girl to stand nnd sit cor
rectly. An easy way lo impress upon the
child tho proper standing position Is to
tench her always to hold tier sliotildcis
back anil her bend erect. In such n posi
tion It Is Impossible to breathe nny way
but correctly. This little attention given
in childhood will mean that tlte matured
woman will lutvo a well-developed chest
ami lungs.
It may bo annoying to lie constantly re
minding n child to slant! t-otri-ctly, but
soon slio will do so naturally.
When a child goes to school the teacher
should see Hint sho assumes the correct
silting attitude. Injurious positions may
lead to curvature of the spine, which some
times means a life-long deformity unless
cut cd In Its earliest stages.
Insist upon your child looking nt you
"straight in tlio eye" when you converse
with her. These Is nothing moro annoying
thnt a shifting grac. In many Instances
It is tlio result of nervousness, which can
bo overcome.
Tho child who Is aflllcted with an un
governable temper should be taken in hand
at once. It may bo ncccssnry for you
lo begin teaching a baby while It Is still
In long clothes, for bail temper often shows
Itself very early In life. As tho child grows
older it should be punished In n harmless
but unpleasant way after any outburst of
temper.
OOOD RYAlIPbR NRKDMD
Children Imitate their elders; therefore,
it Is most important that mothers should
govern their own tempers. Negative, emo
tions, as you know, rob the face of Its
sweet expression, make hard lines about
tlio mouth nnd furrow tlio brow with
wrinkles. Therefore, discourage nt tlio be
ginning any signs of bad temper In your
child.
Kvery mother must bo on the alert, for
the sake of her child's preteut and future
health, to seo that she Is practicing, the
tight methods! that will lead to beauti
ful womanhood.

talk about housekeeping," remarked a thrif
ty Utile Itomcmaker nbout six months n&.
"I'm too busy at homo doing It."
They were trying to gel mole members
for the local woman's! club, and so the
club president argued with her very earn
estly "That's Just Hie reason why all of us
go to tho club." sho protested, "became
wo'ro too busy doing housework to find time

ticles. In ntdcr to find out seme system thnt
will help me get through my work more
quickly? Certainly lint. And neither can
vou!"
"Hut you ami I cnti positively squeeze
nn hour or even two hours n week out of
housework In order to listen to some woman
who has made u business of Motiving these
things And Hint Is not nil Hint the club
tines." she pursued enthusiastically, as she
saw signs or awakening Interest on the face
of the thrlflv youtig housekeeper.
"IT you could meet llftecn of the most
vvlde.awnk" young housekeepers In town
--Mid thcv'ro tho only hind wo want In our

would each. In one or two sentences, give
you a jilnn they used for making their
wash dttv lesn hnrd, wouldn't J'OU bo will

The thrifty young homemaker was milch
les belligerent. She was beginning to be
convinced "I suppose so." she said weakly.
"Come nlotig then." snbl the club presi
dent, briskly. "We've n meeting this after
noon Hint jou'll bo InteicBted In."
Thnt was six months ago. 'lotlny Hie
thiirtv little homemaker Is one of the most
valuable member!) In the housekeepers club.
"I found out I had a wrong Idea of a
woman's club," she admits, In explanation.
"I thought It was Just gossiping nnd more
social entertaining than wo can nlford Just
"Hut It's done me so much good. Miy,
do you know, 1 like housekeeping so much
more elnco I've found out nil tho Interesting

women arc making In ortW to Improve It.
and I make lots of them myself. Then
there niti so many good Ideas that all theso
women have and 1 get some good Ideas

methods at a meeting. Why. I've- learned
more about how to market In the six
months since 1 Joined my club than I know
In all tho six years that l"vo been mar

"Antl I know moro about pure food, nnd
what to feed the children In summer, and
tlio hundred nnd ono little facts" about
cooking that make meals moro wholesome.
It's so Inspirational to me. too. to feel that
I can tell thcs.0 women somo things I've
round out In housekeeping that they don't
know. We're all exchanging information

Do you belong to your woman's club?
Almost everywhere women are finding that
tlte homemakers' club is tho place where
even Hie moat tired, most discouraged
housekeeper can gel help mid new Interest
for her most Important job."
Moil nro always Joining some business

what other business men aro doing, and
they get stimulation nnd help for Improv
