A Few Things Of Interest to the Fair
Sex.

Did you ever see a girl when she took
It into her head to renovate everything,
from her last winters hat to a pair of
white slippers asks the Chicago Rec
ord. which goes on to say This is the
time of year when the mood strikes most
girls. In the first place, the maiden with
an eye to economy discovers countless
wells, all more or less stringy and worth
less. 1t is an ex travagant waste of money
to buy so many wells anyway, she thinks.
Somebody lis told her to dissolve a
piece of clue in little water and wash
her wells in it. The result would be, &C
cording 10 the report, that they would
come out as fresh as an autumn wind.
She has a serious time with the glue, and
when she presses the wells they stick to
the iron, curl up at the edges. and other
wise disgrace themselves. The very first
time she wears one of them she comes
home minus all her eyelashes and part of
one eyebrow.
Then her feathers demand all her at
tenti0n for whole half day. After care

and an endless shaking over the kitchen
fire, the once lovely feathers emerge look

saw-mill and then'had weathered prai-

pay for the work.
It's always the same. When a girl
wants to renovate she can ruin more
things than she could wear out in six
months. Slippers are bronzed and gilded,
then they are so stir thai she can't wear
them, so they find a little corner on
closet sheft, and there they forever re-

IL IS also the season when wedding cards
are due.
The latest fad in mOnograms, as shown
by the swagger stationery, is almost mi
croscOpic. Surrounded by a fine ring,
sometimes the letters are in silver on a
dark blue background, and this style is
also used for mourning with the back

In striking contrast to these minute
