inexpensive Buster Case.

An inexpensive case for the light
feather buster, used so much to dust
bric-a-brac, according to the New York
World, is made of two yards of satin
ribbon, two inches wide. Double one
and half yards length, making a bag
three-quarters of yard long by over
casting in fine stitches both edges all
the way up. A bow made of the bal
ance of the ribbon finishes the bottom,
and crochet ring of embroidery silk
over brass form for the top, to hang
it up. Slip the buster in, brush end up.
Feather edge ribbon is much prettier
than plain. If the handle of the duster
is more or less than twenty-seven
inches, make the case according to its
length.

Telling Age by the Couture.

The common objection among WON.

is not shared by the ladies of Japan,
who actually display their cycle of
years in the arrangement of their hair
Girls from 0 to Is wear their hair inter
laced with red crepe in semi-circle
around the head, the forehead being
left free with curl at each side. From
the age of Is to 80 the hair is dressed
very high on the forehead and gath

butterfly or fan, with twistings of silver
cord and perhaps decoration of col,
ored balls. Beyond the milestone of 30

pin placed horizontally at the back Of

widow arranges her couture, and the
initiated are able to tell at a glance
whether she desires to marry again or
not.

One of those inventions which will
inevitably displace large amount Of
labor because of it's increased economy
has recently found its way into textile
manufacturing. 1t is loom which au.
tomatically feeds bobbins into the
shuttle. This work hitherto has been
one of the duties of the weaver. Now
five persons can take care of eighty Of
these looms, whereas, at present, one
person looks after six. The new
process will run for an hour or two
after every one has left the factory at
night and through the noon hour. 1t
is said that it will save one-half the la.
Dor cost in weaving and one-fourth the
whole labor cost of manufacturing.

A woman dislilSes to get her nice new
shoes wet because it spoils them so;
but with care, the wetting will not hurt
them much. AS soon as the wet shoes
can be removed, rub them well with a
soft cloth to get some of the dampness
out, and remove all the mud, then rub
them with cloth saturated with lxero-
sene or vaseline. Get as much of the
oil into them as possible, and stuff the
shoes into shape, setting them aside for
few hours. Another application of
