The pretty over-Neuse shown is a pop¬ 
ular model, and it will be found as use¬ 
ful in making over a last .year’s dress for 
a growing girl as in cutting a new mate¬ 
rial. The over-blouse is made in two 
pieces and is laid in plaits over the shoul¬ 
ders. The right front is lapped over the 
Ail Autumn Suggestion. 
Now is the time whan on® brings in the 
spoils of the woods by armfuls—ferns, 
richly tinted Autumn leaves and delicate 
vines. Not much use, as a rule, is made 
of these treasures except to fill the man¬ 
tel vases. A few ferns and leaves may be 
pressed for Winter decoration, but they 
left and attached to position, the closing are always stiff and unnatural after the 
being made invisibly at the back. The drying process is finished; they collect 
dust, their bright colors fade, and we are 
soon glad to throw them away. Happily 
there is an easier and more satisfactory 
way of preserving these mementoes of 
our Autumn walks. This consists in 
making blue or impression prints directly 
from the collected specimen. No camera 
or expensive apparatus is required to pre¬ 
pare the prints. All that is needed is 
some sheets of ferro-prussiate or blue¬ 
print paper and a printing frame. The 
latter may be improvised from a thin piece 
of board of dimensions about 10 x 12 
inches, covered with felt or heavy flannel. 
In a room from which the daylight is 
partly excluded a sheet of the sensitized 
paper is laid face up on this board; th 
fern or spray is arranged gracefully on 
the paper, then covered with a piece of 
window glass the size of the board, and 
an elastic band is slipped on each end to 
hold all firmly together. The frame is 
now placed in direct sunlight for 15 or 20 
minutes, or until the shaded parts of the 
paper turn a bronze-green color. The 
prints are next washed in several changes 
of water and dried. The specimen now 
appears as a white silhouette on a dull 
blue ground. By long printing, the vein- 
ing of the leaves is impressed as blue 
lines on tbe paper and in prints of ferns 
the arrangement of the spore cases on the 
lower side of the fronds is shown. 
The paper costs very little and prints 
may be made of these simple natural 
forms that are very artistic. They may 
be mounted, hit or miss fashion, on a 
screen or panel, using heavy blue or white 
cloth for a background. No decoration 
can be more effective for a blue and white 
room. Picture frames, lamp shades and 
fancy boxes may be attractively orna¬ 
mented with the prints. A scrap book 
collection of prints made from the leaves 
of our common forest trees and shrubs is 
a helpful gift to a young botanist or any 
one interested in nature study. Many 
children would find great pleasure in mak¬ 
ing pictures of their very own in this way. 
Supplied with a roll of the sensitized 
naper and a printing frame, almost any 
boy or girl can make really artistic prints 
of groups of maidenhair ferns or the 
dainty wreath golden rod. Paper meas¬ 
uring 5x7 inches which costs 40 cents per 
roll of two dozen sheets, is a good size 
for the beginner to use. The sheets may 
be divided into smaller ones, provided the 
cutting is done in a subdued light. If 
mounted on blue or gray cardboard, and 
framed in passe partout, the pictures make 
charming and inexpensive Christmas gifts 
for the young folks to present to their 
friends, besides affording not a little ar¬ 
tistic training to the eye and hand of the 
maker. m. e. colegrove.

ous mistake of permitting children to raise 
themselves. That’s the reason why the 
natural order of things has been reversed 
and children have become the masters of
