Those Narrow Belts.

We all realize that the very narrow belts
which are now the fashion are considel-
able source Of annoyance. as they do not
half conceal the skirt band and the pins
used to tasten it to the waist. 1t requires
considerable care that the skirt and waist
will not part company, and many devices
for fastening tha two together have been
invented, but most OF them have proved
useless.
1t requires so many pins and it is SO much
trouble to keep the skirt and shirt waist to-
gether that any suggestion which Will be of
use is gladly accepted. Here is one which
was tried with great satisfaction: A stout
band of cotton tape, an inch wide, was
stitched to the back Of the shirt waist, just
at the waist line. A fat button was sewed
in the center OF the back and one on each
side, about four inches from the first one.
Three button holes were worked in the
skirt band. The waist and skirt could thus
be buttoned together and the wearer could
have that comfortable feeling that the ap
pearance of the back was neat and secure.

Woman's Clubs.

AS to the practicabiiity of the above
named societies we leave it to time and our
women. 1t IS evident the number is in
creasing at an alarming rate of speed. At
the recent federation Of Women's Clubs in
Louisville, Ky, it is probable there never
before was body of women OF such high
character assem- bled. This federation COM
prises 500 clubs and 1000 delegates were in
session.
Department meetings We're a special
feature of the meeting. Programmes on
household economics, physical culture and
other phases of home life were given.
From the character Of the meetings one
must admit that these women are deeply
in earnest but whether it is wise to take
the course they 60 as a means of making
our next nejghbor better time alone can
determine.
