Of Interest Veterans Vetl� s "Piccadilly's, New Wonder- ground" Opened to the Public in London London,—"Piccadilly's new wonder - ground," in other words, the great underground rapid transit • station, has been opened to the public. Under Pic- cadilly Circus is a vast halltowhich accessis gained by seven entrances from different points in the street above. Whereas the first Piccadilly tube station handled 1,500,000pas- sengers for years, this number last year had increased to 25,000,000,, and the new station has a capacity of 50,000,000. Eleven escalators convey passen- gers to trains numbering over 1,500 daily and 120 hourly during (`rush" periods. The lighting and decorations are brillant and'1?eautiful, one of the most striking being a great oil paint- ing by Stephen Bone =and Erie Por- ter, which faces the main escalators. At present only the centre portion is finished, representing the British Em- pita on the world map: Four other panels wvilldeal'wvith suburban scenes and activities reached by the under- ground services. As an engineering feat the new sta- tion is ' a remarkable piece of work, for the whole task has been carried out through one shaft in the centre of Piccadilly Circus without disturbing the overground traffic in any way. To celebrate the completion, of 4% years' work, 250 workers were enter- tained ntertamed rot dinnbr by the management.

And the busy homemaker• who does most of her own sewing hardly knows whei'e to start. The coat seems to be the most logi- cal item to begin with, for around it one can build two or more ensembles, eac hof which may be as different and as pleasing as if it were the only one. The; first step is to choose a coat pat- tern and a dress pattern of types that previous experience 'have proved to be most becoming'. In some cases this'is most easily ascertained by try- ing on a few ready-made coats and frodks until one finds just the right style, then buying patterns along the same general lines. If this is done early in the day when clerks are not busy with purchasers, and one's pur- pose is frankly stated, saleswomen will be found ready to' co-operate. Be measured fo revery new pattern. Slenderness nowadays is not so much a matter of weight as of measure, for clever women weigh more than ap- pearances indicate. The smart wo- man reduces by eliminating all un- necessary, lingerie and by selecting designs cut on narrow lines and of bodyless, materials, and by measuring herself accurately so her clothes fit her beautifally and precisely. The Mirror Test. After buying the desired coat pat- tern one should find out what materi- als are recommended for making it up end avoid the temptation of selecting others.' The reason for this is that the expert designers who made the pattern for each individual garment worked with cloth, an dtlhey have re- commended only those fabrics 'that they are positive will give satisfactory results for those particular models. In buying the pattern -their experiment- ing was paid for. in trout of the, mirror, the shopper should try the materials . she likes best by laying a fold of the goods against her face to see which fabric, color and shade matte 'too most of the color of her hair, eyesand skirt.

At seasons of the year when liquids can safely be used, coal -tar dip, made and applied as directed by the .manu- facturer, is fairly effective. Kerosene emulsion is also popular and in double strength is excellent for the treatment of vermin -infested stable stalls and fixtures.
