Women In every part of the country
who have heard of the gummed paper
dress forms have been eager for direc-
tions for making them. This form
litis been very extensively introduced
by home demonstration agents of the
United Prates Department of Agricul-
ture tir.d the state agricultural col-
leges, as a part of the general exten-
sion program relating to clothing to
assist the rural woman with her sow-
ing problems. So many requests for
further Information on the subject
have reached the department that De-
partment Circular "n7. The I'aper

may be had upon request to the De-

fPrppared by the t'nlt''fl States Department
of Agriculture.)
Leather goods that have been made
unsightly by grease snots and that
cannot be cleaned by ordinary clean-
ing solutions can often lie restored by
methods developed by the bureau of
chemistry of the I'nited .States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. When shoes,
traveling bugs, and similar articles
come in contact with butter, lard,
vaseline, linseed oil. salad oil, lubri-
cating oil, or anything of the same
fort, ugly stains are produced, espe-
cially ii the leather is of a light color,
and attempts to remove them with |
gasoline or other ordinary grease sol-
vents result in spreading them.
The method recommended by the de-
partment consists in coating the ."pots
with a thick solution of rubber in a
nolvent that evaporates readily and
peeling off the coating when it is al-
most dry. In some cases it may he
necessary to repeat the operation sev-
eral times. A solution of unvulean-
Ized rubber (I'aru or Ceylon) in car-
bon bisulphide, in the proportion of
1 part to in parts by weight, as well as
some of the prepared rubber cements,
has been found satisfactory. It Is
Important that tlie cement be v'.-r.v
thick and quick drying, and that pare
solvent be used. Since the fumes of
carbon bisulphide are very lnllam-
roablc and poisonous, It is necessary
to work away from flames and where
there is good ventilation. To keep
the rubber from adhering too tightly
the leather immediately around the
Spot may be wet slightly just before
applying the rubber solution.
Milk produces spots on leather on
account of the fat it contains. In addi-
tion it often leaves a white residue,
and sometimes a dark s'aln. The
white residue may be removed with
poap nnd water, but no way is known
for taking out the brown slain. The
only way to improve the appearance
of leather so damaged is to dye it
darker than the original color.
Any oil or grease spot should he re-
moved ;i> soon a< possible, it is espe-
cially important that spots caused by
linseed and other paint oils be re-
moved before the oil dries, since the
oxidized oils lire hut slightly soluble
In the liquids ordinarily used.

Ill modern buildings the stair well
Is constricted to such a narrow space
that If one stands on the twentieth or
thirtieth floor and looks down one will
probably not see more than a lighted
slit, with no suggestion of the depth
below. Aforetime, however, when peo-
ple wei-6 not so cramped in their
building—or in their souls -stair-
wells were generous.
In the old-fashioned four-story
mansion, now a rooming house, where
Florence Elridge lived, the stairs
wound in a stately fashion around a
space a good six feet square, reaching
from grountl floor to roof. Florence,
who lived on the third floor, could
peek over the banisters and see the
second and lirst floors go about their
business. She rather liked the stair- j
well: it spoke to her of ample days
gone by. of large hospitality and easy-
going lives, remote from the rush and
roar of modern times.
Florence lived alone in * little room '
on the third floor, as we have said. ;
<ln the second floor lived a nice voting
man. Ills name was Arthur llayden.
and he worked in an engineer's office '
and got a perfectly amazing salary,
lie and Florence had met over the .
mail table in the lower ball, and bad 1
passed by ceremonious degrees from •
a simple "f!ood-mor -ig" to "There's i
H letter for you. A, . I you the lucky i
one!" or some sucli polite badinage.
The stair-well remained impassive
to any budding romance that might or
might not be hurgoeoning on it. It
had seen too many brides in its time ■!
to grow excited over two young peo-
ple of opposite sixes who were gei-
ting acquainted in its shadow. It

mounted the stairs—they seemed un-
usually creaky that (lay, as though they
had something to tell her—anil was
lust turning into her room when she
heard footsteps below her and knew
that Mr. llayden was coming In.
"I wonder," thought Florence, "lias
he bought a new hat for Easter, or is
he still wearing that awful old thing?"
She rushed to the banisters and leaned
far over to look at the ascending Mr.
llayden.
Eggs are unstable things. They have
no corners and slip very easily. Any-
way, the string on that paper bag was
not very tightly tied. Florence, lean-
ing over the stair-well suddenly saw,
with a gasp of horror, something white
and oval slifle into view under her very
eyes and descend in rapidly diminish-
ing perspective. She opened her mouth
to scream, when Mr, llayden stuck his
head over the banister, apparently to
look at I he mail table. The egg and
his hat arrived at the same point at
the same time.
If the crash had been loud enough
to wake seven cities it cotiid not have
stunned Florence more. She stared
over the railing, unable to cry out,
held by a horrible fascination at the-
sight of the wreck that had been made
of Mr. Hayden's hat. lie, on his part,
after recovering from the blow—an egg
failing two stories bits hard—took off
his hat. held it so tt would not drip,
and looked to see who had assaulted
him. His gaze met Florence's, and
for a moment neither spoke. Then
some demon of irresponsibility prompt-
ed her tongue.
"Happy Easter!" she called.
He was up the stairs in. it seethed
to her. three steps. He stood confront-
ing her and the omelet that had been

"Did you do that';" he asked sternly.
"I— I'm sorry- it slipired- 1 didn't do
it on purpose - but—oh—you do need

He looked at her a moment, ' and
something in her face made his heart
beat hard : and something in I. - eve-
made her drop iter own while a wave
of red suffused her face. "I—" he
began, and Stopped. "You—" again
a I a No start. "Suppose you come oyt
and help me pick out a new one," he
got out at last. "I'm sure you lur e
much hi tter taste than I have."
They descended the stairs together.

rested on her arm. then slid down tili

"Isn't it,' 'she sighed. "And T think

folks don't arrive at the point it
isn't my fault. They are eminently
well suited, and I must say that the
young lady is by all menus as lovely
as any of the brides who have wended
their way over me in days gone by ; but
why should I interfere? I am an aris-
tocratic stair-well, and it's none of m\
business." Thus did the stair-well
commune with itself in the night
hours, as stair-wells do, with little con-
fidential creaking- and rustlings. Mean
while Florence and the nice young man
continued to call each other "Miss Kl-
ridge" and "Mr. llayden," and to joke
politely, when they saw each other, or
make a remark about the weather, or
something like that.
This went on for some months.
Winter showed signs of relaxing into
spring. The cold was less intense.
The streets were slushy. The shops
dmihiyed new hats. Everything point-
ed to the coming of the benign season.
And Easter was at band.
Florence bought herself a new hat
in celebration of the annual festival.
She also noted with some concern that
Mr. llayden showed no sign of un\
springlike reaction. lie remained as
impassive us ever. His calmness be-
fore the advent of tbe goddess Easier
irritiited Florence subconsciously, and
she took to hanging over the stair-well

by which the male of the species re

stair-well, wise in its generation, al-
lowed Florence to look without hind
ranee, and even warned her. by sundvj
creaklngs, when the nice Mr. llayden
was coming.

Florence thought. She watched him
anxiously now. She really took an In-

whether or not he would get a new one.
Tbe stair-well waited, too. It loomed
to say to itself: "That young thing is

If you want t<> make a stunning new-

the center of the kimono sleeve, and
on the sash. I.euve the neckline and
the body of the blouse absolutely plain,

The kimono sleeve should extend Ik*-
low the embroidery almost to the

Urn's fancy just now.
A stunning tunic blouse Is of black
satin meteor with broad bands of em-
broidery—perhaps nine Inches wide—
around the center of the sleeve and on
the ends of the wide sash which is
looped over once and falls with heav-
ily fringed ends l one hip. The em-
broidery Is donr with darning stitch
' lines of pale gray and white silk floss
and silver threads. Here and there are
triangular appliques of gray duvetyo.

white silk floss and silver thread. An-
other blouse, of black s^ttin, has em-
| broidery of gold thread, gray, magenta
and olive green floss.
