White Doeskin Gloves

With Careful WashingWear Well Unendingly

Nothing is economical for ordinarywear as white doeskin gloves for theylast well and wash almost unendingly-but their success lies in the secret oC

careful washing The gloves should bput in warm water not too warm andgently rubbed with primrose soap takeeach glove singly and soap it Into aball in the palm of the hand andrinse by gently shaking in the water

When the rinsing Is well accomplishedsoap them again and then withoutbeing rinsed squeeze them until allthe water has run out Straighten thegloves dont pull them and hang todry where there is a current of airdo not put them near a tire The dryIng takes rather a long time and atfirst the gloves look spoiled But theyare a real success when once dry andthey must be briskly rubbed together toget rid of the stiffness then theyready to wear and as good as new

Good Conversation-

It is neither heavy nor frivolousIt is learned without pedantry lively

without noise polished without equivo-cation

It is made up of neither leeturea norepigrams

Those who really converse reasonwithout arguing Joke without punningskillfully unite wit and reason maximsand sallies Ingenious ratlery and severemorality

They speak of everything in orderthat every one have somethingto say

They do not investigate too closely-for fear of wearying questions areintroduced as iftreated with rapidity precision leadsto elegance each one opinion and supporting it with few words

No one attacks wantonly anothersopinion no one supports his own ob-stinately

They discuss in order to enlightenttieftmelvea said leave otC discussingwhere dispute would b gin every onegains information ovary one recreateshimself and all go away contentednay the sage himself may carry awayfrom what has heard matter worthycf silent meditation

A Youthful WreathA charming coiffure for a girl of eight-

een is a wreath of tiny bows in silverbraid or of satin ribbon the same shade-as her dress These are brought downin a slight point over the pompadourad around the knot of the hair in thebat It is a very pretty and attractivefinish for a party costume and it doesnot give the extremely dressy effect ofMowers and aigrettes

The little bows are Melt about oneand a half Inches long and made of

about threequarters of an inchwide They are Joined together by wiretoo nnj tj show against th hair

For this Decoration a psjohe knot Isthe style

and gracefulWhen wearing a white dress either

pink or blue satin or braid bowswould be more becoming than whitesatin or silver bows for they give atouch of color to the costume but whenthe dress I of pastel shade thebows should either match the dress orbe of braid for white is not

when worn on the hair unless it isused in combination with some colorThis is because both brown and goldenhair have no shade ofown and the white merely accentuatesthe deadness of the effect

Sleeveless Coals

SEWING HINTSI

The first side sun and the seamnext the placket show whether a skirt-is cut and draped properly The sideseam should run down in almost astraight line from the hip to the loweredge If It slants backward it givesthe figure the effect of tilting forward

The seams on each side of the placketshould run in a straight sweeping linefrom the waist to the lower edge of theskirt at the back If they run towardthe sales a very wide ungraceful ap-pearance Is given the hips from theback

Every day one sees in the streetsskirts that have this fault the result ofincorrect fitting at the waist line Thewaist measure with thehip measure has been too large for thefigure

Instead of taking in more at the dartseams or the tsp of the gore seams ithas been turned In at the pieat at

of the placket drawing the seamsbackward at the waist line

There should never be any interferencewith those pleats at the back closingThey should be carefully marked from

pattern and pasted to position be-

fore fitting If they twist Or draw inany way the correct effect at the centerback will b lost

The fold edges of the pleats should bestitched a few belowthis should in close toeach other to the bottom of the skirtpractically concealing the a am at thecenter back

She was rich once upon a time andbought expensive article and when thenecessity for retrenchment arose heripped up choice garments andused patterns She prefers thecorsets she makes by means of an oldand costly pair to the cheaper ones shecan now afford She makes p tUcoalsof cotton from a silk model that COt

Jade Shirt Waist SetsTo prove that the tailored shirt waist

bAa come to remain a little while atleast sets of jade amethyst and othersemiprecious stones are being shown inthe shops The sets include tuft linksstuds and scurfpins and may be had Inalmost any design

It is a relief after the Oriental fineryof the last season to look forward to alittle tailored in spring shopping and walking costumes Let gownsfor special occasions be as elaborate asthey may nothing can take the place ofthe correct tailor suits adopted by theAmerican Sir as her own

Paris may go mad over some new extravagance wear her shoes two or threestIleS too small so that her feet willshow under her long drapery or shemay adopt the flowing lines of a teagown for an afternoon drive In the Boltdo Boulogne but the Americanwill always modify each fashion by herdesire to be tailormade

with a bias strip of a light-weight material is the usual method of

Remember that over very round hipsone or the other edge seams fromthe to the waist will sometimes seemto need to be fulled into the other inorder to make it hang properly

New Scarfs-For a long time the scarfs of cHIffon

and lace have been worn with eveninggowns Wt they were always very

and not really thick enough toprotect tr wearer from evening chillSpanish lace has always been the

material for the diaphanous dra-peries but just now a new material hassprung into favor and It is so Inexpen-sive and so simple that it is sure to bepopular-

It consists merely of two yards ofnarrow taffeta silk embroidered at eachend in any way that appeals to the owner Wallachian embroidery used in this

scarf or for that matterembroidery would be suitable and attractive

The end may be hemmed and featherstitched or gathered into a tassel orfinished with a fringe The silk is heavyenough o be useful as a wrap on coolevening between dances and there willbe no ttre ds to catch into everythingas there are in Spanish lace
