FIXING ovER WORK GOWNS
In fixing ovor-delightful terml--a boz
dice, remember the agonies that the small
hooks and eyes caused you all summer, and
with what pers.stency they broke your
nails. Take them all of aud put good
sized ones on, having not all the hooks on
one aide and the eyes on another. but put
ting first hook and then an eye. which ii-
sures the bodice remaining closed. Then,
for drapcries. beware OF the safety hooks
their only safety consists in their being
safe 10 come undonc. and yOu have 10
pin them besides Whereas good, big.

that station of the frock whore he "a neces-
sary. About the lower edge Of skirt.
II u is worn, take your biggest SCISSORS
and cut OF the ragged edge with great
evenness. putting "a the finish, and 10 sup
ply the missing length, a scant frill OF silk

course. this only applies 20 skirts that have
long over-draper es-what, indeed. are
known o. foundation skirts. By-the-by. il
YOU don't care 10 wear q long petticoat,
arrange inside Of all your dress skirts frllls
OF either white or black laco reaching way
up 10 the knee. Tho right side is next 10

pretty, while the lace Is sth enough 90

which is now good form.
EVERY WOMAN HER own DREssNAREB.
You are going 20 take out the big reeds;
If your skirt Will permit If, replace them
by tape. If IL is made so that something
in the shape Of reed IS required put IN
very small Oncs, but as you value your
temper aud tho keeping Of 70, do not choose
those reeds that hook IN the centre, but
cling 10 the old straight one tied with
tapes. The divided reed is even
and rigid in its determination not

TO be fastened with a safcty-pin, then
form a perfect point. and nobody can
blame the lOoker-On for wondering as 10
tho shape Of the woman, who by her inno-
Cenco has been led into making a guy OF
herself. DO not put away as unwearable
the pretty f0ulards of the summer, but see
if instead YOU cannot utilize them for
house dresses. In large cities. whore an
even tcmperature-that Of summer time
peryades the house. these gowns can be
worn with perfect propriety, and one need
not fear that most dreadful Of events, the
catching a cold.
CHARMING WOMAN IN NEW YORK
wears white null gowns the entire season
for the house, and she looks rs If she were
a soraph or something very angelic rs she
walks about in her soft robe that doesn't
rustic and has the artistic air peculiar 10
tho iy0ry-WhHe material. Look over the
ball-gOWns and see If any OF the trimmings
cannot be used on the numerous tea
gowns that YOU are going TO make. aud
remember before you pat them away
for tins purpose that each should
be busted carefully with soft
brush and wrapped m tissue paper. Spots.
especially those that cannot be accounted
for. are best submitted to u professional
cleaner, because dabbling first with BEN
! zine and then with ammonia and then with
naptba will tend 10 make their last cOndi-
ton wOrse than the first and attending to
! them bv professionals more difficult and
| expensive than it would have been in the
! beginning.
WHAT PRETTY WOMAN Is TIRED OF.
Tired? Wen, we all get tired tired Of
50 many things.
woman who cultiyates her brains at the
| expense of her heart.
Tired Of men who don't take care Of
women.
OF selfshness, Of greed, and Of man.
| m0n-WOTshlp.
| OF clothes made by machine that rips
when YOU pull the string.
! OF men who climb over you between the
acts. tear your gown, make YOU cross, and
| knock over the bonnet of the woman III
| front Of YOU.
OF children who are dressed in silk and
| lace rather than in flannel and who wear
more iewclry than they do good manners.
OF mothers who think children are a
! nuisance.
OF dogs who are tickle.
| OF hearing Providence blamed for ones
| own mistakes
| OF woman's suffrage.
| OF the continued claim that women are
not paid rs we'll as men when they do as
good work.
| Of the rheumatism and the future of
continual thought that it neccssitates.
OF sewing on shOe-buttOns and sharpen
| ing lead-pencils.
| / am tired of almost everything except
! the American girl, cood-looking men,
! chocolate. hot bread for breakfast, broad
| nibbed quilts, and big sheet Of paper to
write on, fox-terriers, and babies. Given
nice. sweet, plaiuly-dressed baby, from
! the cannbal to an angel in Heaven, there is
a keen appreciation of it. 1t has all the
/ virtues of sweets and fox-terriers. and lts
| possibilities are greater. Andyet 80 wicked
| is this world that. shame upon It, the ba-
| bies can be bought cheaper than either the
| dogs or the bOnbons. Bah.
