Nothing is economical for ordinary wear as white doeskin gloves for they last well and wash almost unendingly- but their success lies in the secret oC careful washing The gloves should b put in warm water not too warm and gently rubbed with primrose soap take each glove singly and soap it Into a ball in the palm of the hand and rinse by gently shaking in the water When the rinsing Is well accomplished soap them again and then without being rinsed squeeze them until all the water has run out Straighten the gloves dont pull them and hang to dry where there is a current of air do not put them near a tire The dry Ing takes rather a long time and at first the gloves look spoiled But they are a real success when once dry and they must be briskly rubbed together to get rid of the stiffness then they ready to wear and as good as new Good Conversation- It is neither heavy nor frivolous It is learned without pedantry lively without noise polished without equivo- cation It is made up of neither leeturea nor epigrams Those who really converse reason without arguing Joke without punning skillfully unite wit and reason maxims and sallies Ingenious ratlery and severe morality They speak of everything in order that every one have something to say They do not investigate too closely- for fear of wearying questions are introduced as if treated with rapidity precision leads to elegance each one opin ion and supporting it with few words No one attacks wantonly anothers opinion no one supports his own ob- stinately They discuss in order to enlighten ttieftmelvea said leave

silent meditation A Youthful Wreath A charming coiffure for a girl of eight- een is a wreath of tiny bows in silver braid or of satin ribbon the same shade- as her dress These are brought down in a slight point over the pompadour ad around the knot of the hair in the bat It is a very pretty and attractive finish for a party costume and it does not give the extremely dressy effect of Mowers and aigrettes The little bows are Melt about one and a half Inches long and made of about threequarters of an inch wide They are Joined together by wire too nnj tj show against th hair For this Decoration a psjohe knot Is the style and graceful When wearing a white dress either pink or blue satin or braid bows would be more becoming than white satin or silver bows for they give a touch of color to the costume but when the dress I of pastel shade the bows should either match the dress or be of braid for white is not when worn on the hair unless it is used in combination with some color This is because both brown and golden hair have no shade of own and the white merely accentuates the deadness of the effect Sleeveless Coals A novelty shown this season Js the long cost semifitting without sleeves but cic on the shoulders which gives it i slightly Japanese effect It I not a wrap but an integral part of a intended for walk- ing though generally made up of MaY by VIe and are abbot ol hair

should run down in almost a straight line from the hip to the lower edge If It slants backward it gives the figure the effect of tilting forward The seams on each side of the placket should run in a straight sweeping line from the waist to the lower edge of the skirt at the back If they run toward the sales a very wide ungraceful ap- pearance Is given the hips from the back Every day one sees in the streets skirts that have this fault the result of incorrect fitting at the waist line The waist measure with the hip measure has been too large for the figure Instead of taking in more at the dart seams or the tsp of the gore seams it has been turned In at the pieat at of the placket drawing the seams backward at the waist line There should never be any interference with those pleats at the back closing They should be carefully marked from pattern and pasted to position be- fore fitting If they twist Or draw in any way the correct effect at the center back will b lost The fold edges of the pleats should be stitched a few below this should in close to each other to the bottom of the skirt practically concealing the a am at the center back A common roiMtke is the use of a pat Clever

The importance- of pressing should always be borne in Remember that over very round hips one or the other edge seams from the to the waist will sometimes seem to need to be fulled into the other in

floor New Scarfs- For a long time the scarfs of cHIffon and lace have been worn with evening gowns Wt they were always very and not really thick enough to protect tr wearer from evening chill Spanish lace has always been the material for the diaphanous dra- peries but just now a new material has sprung into favor and It is so Inexpen- sive and so simple that it is sure to be popular- It consists merely of two yards of narrow taffeta silk embroidered at each end in any way that appeals to the own er Wallachian embroidery used in this scarf or for that matter embroidery would be suitable and at tractive The end may be hemmed and feather stitched or gathered into a tassel or finished with a fringe The silk is heavy enough o be useful as a wrap on cool evening between dances and there will be no ttre ds to catch into everything as there are in Spanish lace REMARKABLY EFFECTIVE- A Noted Doctors Prescription Checks an Acute Cold in a Day and Cures Cnronio Coughs The wonderfully healing
