Talk about making good with your

everybody he knew that he was going
to Philadelphia for the dual purpose
of seeing the world's baseball series
and having a slight surgical operation
performed. Reaching this city , he
consulted a specialist , and was told
that an operation was not necessary.
"But , doctor , " the New Orleans
party urgently interposed , "it must be
done. "
"Why must it ? " wonderingly quer
ied the surgeon.
"Because , " was the startling reJoinder -

USE OLD FINERIES
LACE WAISTS AND SILK SKIRTS
FOR NEW BLOUSES.
Practical Woman Can Make Good
Use of Ancient Materials Every
thing Can Go Into Bodice
Nowadays.
The woman who has old lace waists
on hand , or a skirt or two in figured
or plain silk , may now find use for
these dilapidated fineries. A little
study of the shop models In both ele
gant and practical blouses for winter
wear will demonstrate how these an
cient materials can he used up , for

everything can go into a bodice now
adays , and veiling one stuff with an
other is the madness of the moment
Granted there must be a little good
lace for the yoke and sleeve bottoms ,
all the rest that goes into a corsage ,
made after the present styles , may be
patched to any extent. As for silk ,
all that is necessary is for it to be of
a rich color , for the sheen of red , blue ,
orange , or violet must be visible
LACE BAG LATEST NOVELTY
Great Saving of Time and Lace Ef
fected by Country Woman's
System.
A morning visitor at a country
house found her hostess busy with
mysterious little dimity bags , that
< vere about ten inches square and fas
tened with a draw string. In answer
to her query she'was told that these
were "lace bags , " and that samples
of the kind of laces they contained
would be sewed on the edges like tags.
She was furthermore told that al
though the proceeding might seem
fussy , it was a great saving of time as
well as of lace , for these fragile bits
of trimming get tangled and torn If
'
put in a box , even if folded at first ,
After a few hunts for a particular
piece the loosened ends seem pos
sessed to knot together , and It re
quires great patience to undo them
without tearing the edges. The sam
ples show just what kinds of lace are
bundled and safely pinned at ends ,
and just the one bag need be opened.
All the bags are put In a-large box ,
labeled "lace , " and this has a particu
lar space In the sewing room closet.
Cracks In Furniture.
Cracks in furniture can be filled in
with beeswax so that the marks will
scarcely show at all.
First-of all , slightly soften the bees
wax until it becomes like putty , then
press it firmly'and neatly into the
cracks and smooth the surface over
with a thin knife. Next sandpaper
the wood surrounding the crack and
work some of the dust into the bees
wax.
wax.This
This gives the work a finished look ,
and when it is varnished the cracks
will have disappeared.
Putty is sometimes used for this
purpose , but it is apt to dry and fall
jut , while beeswax will remain in
practically forever.
To Cleanse Tatting.
Tatting can not be properly washed
to lcok as good as new , for it is almost
impossible to restore the picots to
their natural shape. Soak the pieces
iu gasoline and while wet dust them
with cornstarch. Wrap them in a
clean towel and leave them for sev
eral hours. Beat the towel lightly ,
lift out the lace and shake it free of
starch. Press the picots Into shape
and iron lightly on the wrong side.
through the covering of veiling , mar
quisette or chiffon. A summer foulard
in b'ack and white since these mate
rials wash like rags would be Inval
uable , for this combination is stylish
under a veiling of any sort in any
color.
The veiled waists , especially if they
have three-quarter sleeves , are shown
principally for drervy uses , but the
style is too useful for the home dress
maker to ignore When making over
old textures , and if trimmings and
models are sufllciently simple , such
designs are suitable for the plainest
tailor gowns.
The veiled bodice with lace under
part , commonly begins with a com
plete blouse made with a high stock
of an all-over lace. A plain or pat
terned silk , or a Persian gauze founda
tion , which is very stylish , will stop
at the line where the jumper Is to
cover it and be filled in there with a
stock in appropriate materials. The
jumper , which is of gauzy veiling in
the dress color , is the easiest thing in
the world , to make. The kimono model
Is the' favorite for this over-blouse ,
and is fitted with one or more Gibson
pleats at the shoulders , or else tucked
back and front , or across the - shoulders
ders only. One strikingly effective
device with such waists is a broad
band of some rich trimming going
around the foundation at the bust
point , and showing richly through the
thin outer material. Narrow velvet
ribbon , or plain satin bands , trims the
white stocks and undersleeves of
"these bodices effectively , while the
blouse itself may have quite anoiher
trimming.
Persian silk arxl Indian cottons in
a blur of rich color shape the more
practical waists , those intended
strictly for the plainer tailor gowns ;
but when these gaudy textures are
veiled with something else , they at
once become things for dressy use.
Our illustration displays a blouse of
a simple all-over lace in a rich cream ,
covered with a kimono juniper of
king's blue marquisette. A lace In
blue and black encircles the round
neck , with a stole drop at the front.
The same lace edges the sleeves of
the jumper and forms cuffs for the
gathered undersleeves.
This bodice , like all the others , is
adapted to simpler materials. If a
gray dress on hand must be fitted out
with a waist , use any colored silk
blue , old rose , violet , green or white
for the foundation , and then get a
veiling In the dress color for the top.
Moire or silk in a matching color
could be employed instead of the lace
here used. A well-made waist in this
style would be suited to a handsome
tailor suit , and if liked the jumper
part alone might be employed as a
model for a collarless short-sleeved
house effect. In fact , there is no end
to the possibilities of this jumper , for
it is adapted equally to plain and
dressy uses.

Dr. Ogle is quoted as saying : 'One
verdict came before me a little time
ago which was this : "A man died
from stone in the kidney , which stone
he swallowed when laying on a gravel
path in a state of drunkenness. " That
was given as a verdict. I thought
some joke had been played , and I
wrote down about it. and found it was
an absolute fact Another one is
like this : "Child three months old ,
