Not only jurtons by tlie hundreds serve as trim-ming, but buttons with sure enough ' (now buttonholes, have come into smart use. There is no longer a mystery as to "button, button, who has the button." Our new cloth frocks give the answer. At this moment the mode calls for e dresses which button along the underarm seam just as the pic-ture shows. Two buttons are also placed at the opening of this kind and plain, are challenging deft fingers to ply them into Intricacies which make millinery a thing of beauty and a joy If not forever, then, at least, for this spring In the manipulation of little ribbons, our chapeau fusbionists must have "caught the vision" from the curious folding, banding and basket-weavin-which children accomplish with bright-colore- d paper In their kindergarten work ; not implying, if you please, the least hint of the amateur in the finesse of these intricate lookjng ribbon motifs and such.

Stylists are using buttons, positioned closely, mind you, all the way down the front of satin frocks which describe a slim silhouette until within a few Inches of the hem, where godets are inset for proper flare. Sometimes rows of buttons are repeated even down the sides and back. In fact, the frock Is quite the popular Idea this season. There is nothing quite so en mode for street, school and business wear as a wool jersey, fine wool twill, kasha cloth, or extra hBavy crepe de chine e dress, which fastens with tiny pearl buttons from neck to hemline down the front, the same having long tight sleeves and the Inevitable yoke, for trary, they are the "pink of perfection" in their tailored aspect. There is a wave of enthusiasm this very moment for prim ribbon fanta-sies on smart colorful felt shapes, for the trig felt shape Is more of a favor-ite than ever. The newest Idea is to begin at the tip-to- p of the crown with a ribbon "idea" and then work down one side and let some loops and ends fall over the brim in a flattering man-ner. A scheme is to cut a slot at one. side of he felt crown, passing loops and ends of the ribbon through this. The Parisian vogue calls for narrow velvet ribbon. The hats Illustrated In this group are all featured with narrow ribbons.

To this demure costume, pre-ferably in Quaker gray, string color, beige, cocoa or, if one chooses, pastel shades, dainty lingerie cuffs and col-lars add the feminine touch. It is interesting to know that' If one plans to trim with buttons, such as bordering the edge of cuffs, collar, or revers, a treatment very popular, but-tons can be bought by the yard that is they are sewed on an almost In-visible tape. This saves time, labor and assures an even placement, which has much to do with appearance. Tinted pearl buttons find favor and an added embellishment is supplied In that they are often sewed on with thread of contrasting color. Narrow ribbons, Doth the novelty makes its plea of attractiveness through a contrivance of ribbon wheels (each a different color), which cover the entire crown. To the right, one notes a motif formed of silver gun-met- and black velvet ribbon, the same basket woven. Itibbon Intricacy gives distinction to the model centered to the right. Knife plaiting and braiding are applied to the grosgraln ribbon for the crown, with the narrow brim picoted about the edge. White and black ribbon girdles and cravats the hat to the left center.

The adjustment on either Is critical and a resistance will take care of them. The connections for the .001 fixed condenser are across the primary and secondary of the transformer to the P and F posts. This must be placed In this position, not across the primary as Is custom-ary. To Tune Set. Tuning the set merely requires ad-justing the rheostat and turning the dial. The stations will come In some-times without a carrier wave whistle, so it is advisable to turn the dial very slowly and listen Intently to be sure a station is not missed. On long dis-tance the adjustment is apt to be critical. A geared vernier Is essential because of this. With the ordinary dial many stations would be passed up without the operator's knowledge. Boston Traveler. By F. M. RUSSELL . When a radio receiver Is to be used in the home where It Is operated by all members of the family, both young and old, It should possess certain fea-tures such as simplicity In operation, perfectly clear and howlless reception, good receiving range, g output, and a logged dial that elimi-nates the guess-wor- k of tuning and makes It possible for one who never saw or heard the set before to get any station desired with it, by referring to the dial reading. The little two-tub- e set illustrated will do all the above things In an efficient manner. This is due to the circuit used which Is simple to build and simple to operate, but Incorpor-ates several unique features that give It qualities seldom found In even a outfit. It has automatic or spontaneous regeneration and an aperiodic primary. The regeneration Increases volume and receiving range and the aperiodic primary makes the Bet selective and allows logging of the single tuning control. Never under any circumstances will the set howl If the parts are arranged correctly and the values are as speci-fied. The secret of this Is In the method of obtaining regeneration and the fixed condenser across the audio-frequency transformer. The readings of the variable conden-ser dial, which is the only control, are permanent. If a station is once re-ceived at say 20 degrees It will al-ways be received again at that point. This applies to distant as well as local stations. Parts Used. The above results are obtained by virtue of a special tuning unit in the form of a coupler. It consists of two spiderweb colls, one of five turns and one of 45 turns. The five-tur- coll Is the aperiodic primary and the other is the combined plate and secondary coll. It Is not difficult to build the unit. Spiderweb colls of the proper size can be purchased at a radio store or they can be home wound on a card-board or wood frame. This should have 11, 13 or 13 spokes. The wind-ing method is two over and two un-der, In other words, the wire Is first wouDd under two spokes and then over two spokes, etc. About one-ha- lf pound of No. 22 double silk or cotton-covere- d wire is necessary for this. Do not use enamel. To Construct. Mount the colls when finished as shown in the illustration. The cou-pling between them may vary any-where from to one-ha- lf Inch according to the selectivity de-sired. Lay out the sockets, trans-- i former and the rest of the apparatus as shown and wire with the direct connection method, that is, make all connections direct from terminal to terminal In the shortest possible man-ner. This may not look "pretty" but it will reduce the resistance and Inter-clrcu- lt Interference, and make the set more efficient. After all It's results we want, not beauty. The parts necessary to construct the set aside from the special coupler are as follows : One .0005 variable condenser. One geared vernier dial for con-denser. One low ratlw audio frequency trans-former. One .001 fixed mica condenser. Two 199-typ- e soekets. One rheostat One 2 to grid leak and .00025 fixed condenser. One 7 by 14 panel. One single-circu- it Jack. Baseboard, binding posts, screws, wire, etc. The ratio of the transformer should be anywhere from three to six to one, but not higher. The set will distort If this Is violated. The variable con-denser also must be of the proper capacity. Any smaller or larger will either not allow the reception of cer-- T Was Bobbie to Blame?

Experts from the University of California announce that dehydration, or artificial drying, is su-perior to having the sun dry the prunes. They predict that eventually all prunes will be dehydrated.

How to Use Pattern to Build Your Sub-Pan- el Locating a number of sockets, trans-formers and other instruments on a sub-bas- e can easily be accomplished without tedious measuring and possi-ble errors by means of a pattern.

As each device Is provided with screw holes' the work of locating Is thereby simplified. When the Instruments are finally located to the satisfaction of the builder the end of a match stick Is dipped In Ink and a mark is made on the paper by pass-ing the stick through each hole. The sketch shows the Idea. Service of Loop Aerial in Securing Selectivity The greatest objection to the use of a loop aerial In securing maximum selectivity Is the loss of volume. When difficulty is experienced from the in-terference of two or more stations near the same wave length, or when the static becomes so heavy as to drown out even the locals, the trouble may be reduced at least 75 per cent by closing the ground switch, thus grounding the aerial, and connecting the set to a 3 or loop of 10 or 12 turns, shunted by a variable conden-ser, the loop to be placed as near as possible to the wire connecting the aerial to the ground. Using an ordinary three-circu- it tuner and a WD-1- 1 tube, a correspon-dent writes, I regularly receive 1,000 miles through static that would make reception impossible otherwise, and also cut out code interference prac-tically entirely. The method Is equally efficient with a lt set, the only requisite being that the loop be not more than 2sor 3 feet from the ground wire. A plaster wall separat-ing them seems to make no difference, howver. Radio Digest. |
