ABOUT GLIDING.

There Are Many kinds-various Degrees
of Excellence-How 1t Is Applied.
Gliding is very improving to badly
married chairs that are bright and grace
fnl in design. When the woodwork of a
chair is too much defaced to admit of
its original surface remaining visible, it
SHOULD be smoothed with sandpaper,
and any bad indentations neatly filled
with putty, which should be carefully
leveled with the surrounding wood.
Gliding should always be preceded by a
coat of some light varnish of good quail
ity that will dry nicely. Shellac varnish
is excellent for this purpose. The object
OF this coat of varnish is to fill the pores
of the wood and thus insure smooth
hard surface.
There are many kinds of gliding, Of
various degrees of excellence and put
up in different ways Decorator and
Furnisher says: Perhaps the best is the
variety that is sold in the form Of o
powder wrapped i'll papers, with an ac-
companying bottle OF medium for mix
ing, This makes q very brilliant paint
and is decidedly economical No more
Of the gliding should be mixed than
will be required for immediate applica-
ton, as it soon becomes lumpy and I'M
1T Tor use. Gliding should be applied
with q cancels hair brush, and when it
is possible to use a large brush, as would
be the case with chair, it is advisable
to do so.
Upon any large article such as a chair
or o screen, it is wise to apply two. coats
of gliding. This may be quickly accom-
plished, since gliding dries rapidly, es-
pccially in warm weather. AS much de-
ponds upon the kind of gliding used,
the style Of the chair and other circum-
Stances it is impossible to set definite
time, but it is absolutely necessary to
have one coat entirely dry before put
ting on the next.
If gliding is to be applied to an up
holstered chair, the upholstering should
be finished first, except the row of gimp
that is to cover the raw edges, which
may with care be applied afterward
without marring the gliding. A chair
uf pretty design that has cane seat
may be very nicely remodeled by gild-
ing the wood and exchanging the cane
for a seat covered with crimson plush
or a handsome brocadc in crimson and
gold. Small wicker chairs are very or
namental when gilded and may be
greatly improved by tasteful arrange
ments Of fright hued ribbons. Lustra
paints may le used for gliding chairs,
some Of them being exceedingly effect
i've, especially when it is desired to have
the gliding blend with a certain tint.

Grating the walls of a new house before

DRESS AND FASHION.
STYLISH GOWNS AND CAPES FOR
AUTUMN AND WINTER

The Latest Sleeve Has out6one Its Prede-
cessor In Size Much Distended skirts

Colors-Capes Remain Popular.
The subject of dress, from the stand
point of the latest sloove, has q breadth
and depth not easily reduced TO the prac-
tical fitness of things and how to make
last years coat sleeve cover the volu-
minous structure, which seems to be
built on the eXtenson plan, is difficult
problem to solve. However, the modern
sleeve has one redeening feature III that
it serves to diminish the apparent size
OF large waist, SO tho,old coat must be
sacrificed ON the altar Of vanity, be it
ever so good and comfortable.
There is 10 denying the fact that this
new sleeve has outdono all its predccos-
sors in the matter of size, yet it is made
in much the same manner, floating cut
full from tho shoulders and down to the
elbow or caught mp here and there with

styles in the New York Sun. This gown
is Of cloth and is made with a rorna
bodice cut low and crossed in front over
a linen shirt. Two wide reverlike col
lars are the only trimming, the under
one of pale blue silk making a pretty
G. trast. The skirt is slightly draped in
front, having full godet plaits in the
back, which terminate in box plait on
the left side.
The enormous width of the sleeves
establishes the continued popularity of
capes, which i'll any length or material
are safe investment for winter gar
ment. There is very little change in
the style as regards shape, but they are
far more deliberately trimmed than they
were last year. Yet velvet, silk, lace
and fur or feathers are combined il one
garment with very elegant effect. Il
large velvet cape given in the illustra-
ton is striped at wide intervals with
Jet, outlined with feather trimming,
and ostrich feathers form the yoke and
collar. A second enc is of black vicuna
trimmed with an applique of black vel
vet and embroidery of jet in scroll de-
sign. The collar is decorated in the
same manner and edged with black
Tibet fur.

tric Light Globe and n Japanese Basket.
One of the most artistic and original
bits of fancy work seen in "a long time
is holder for burnt matches, which
has been described and illustrated by
The Housakeeper. Its novelty lies in
the use of one of the small incandescent
electric light globes as balloon, the
basket attached to this forming the
"holdor" proper. They may be obtained
at almost amy building where this sys-
tom OF lighting is used. The globes in
lime burn out" or become defective
and can be obtained for few cents or
ior nothing. The remaining materials
necessary for the balloon are the small
Japanese basket, costing ? or 3 cents, 4
yard of ribbon three-eighths Of an inch
wide, three skeins of floss and 4 scrap
Of bias velvet or plush.
Make a chain Of from 40 to so stitch
es, according TO the size of globe, with
the floss, using q small sized crochet
hook. Throw the thread over to form o
long stitch and catch back into the
chain. Make one chain stitch then an

manner across the original chain. Turn
and go back across this row in exactly
the same way and proceed thus until a
square Of the open work is formed. From
each corner Of this square crochet q
chain which shall be long enough to
reach to the top of the basket--from five
to SIX inches. Better too long than too
short.
A small circular piece of plush or
velvet should be used to cover the lower
end of the globe The edges may be
caught up about the side with a few
long stitches. Fold III the edges of a
bias piece of the plush, leaving it just

in daily circle of suffering, because she
thought there was no relief.
Her suffering was caused by female
weakness in its worst forms. She had pain
in her back and loins, great fatigue from
walking, leucorrh9a, local Inflammation,
and frequent desire to urinate.
All this time relief was close at hand,
and she had only to accept it with the
same faith that has saved thousands of
others. Every druggist had it.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound cured her of all weakness and dis
ease, and she is now different woman
This woman is Mrs. Walter Wilcox, of 1876
West Street, who advises all women who
suffer so from female weaknesses to try it
and be cured. 1t cures kidney trouble
in either sex, eXpels tumors, removes
backache, and invigorates the system.

IDENTIFY the most conspicuous differ
erce between the summer and au-
tumn styles, and the latest hats and
cloals as well as skirts and waists all
have the appearance Of being extended
to the limit and promptly impress you
with the vast amount of material en-
ployed and the utter disregard for grace
in outline. But these much distended
skirts are not universally worn, and
those of more modest dimensions are
sure to bo favored, for heavy winter
materials and velvets which are to be
worn so much will make the extra full
ness too much of {. burden, Another
cheerful item III the fashion OF skirts is
that they are very simply trimmed, il
at all, and d-apery, which was SO per-
sistently prophesied last year, is rarely
seen and only of the plainest descr1p
ton.
Certain colors are always announced
from time to time as the favorites, but
a glance at the new goods convinces you
that all the colors in varying shades, of
course, have equal place, SO there is the
usual uncertainty as to choice Brown,
however, except of the tobacco shade,
does not seem to be as popular as dark
green, blue, black, purple, and dark,
rich red, something which is described
as q ''warm shade Of stone color, ?" adds
another to the list.
