If the seams break or rip, sew up the seam on the right side of the glove, as much like the rest of the stitching as possible, and if the seam breaks between the thumb and palm a little network made in the buttonhole stitch will replace the little kid hinge, if one may so call the three cornered piece of kid.

I have never been able 10 understand the type of woman who didn't care how her bedroom looked, who was satisfied to have a bare, cold, uninviting room, lacking any individuality. Most women, certainly all nice women, long to have their bedrooms look as pretty as possi- ble, and now, when so many dainty things can be made by oneself, so many good,results achieved by oneself, she is to blame who does not arrange her room so that it is bower of beauty. It may be taken for granted that either in the winter or the summer one cannot have too many fancy cushions or too many fur rugs.
 A most artistic effect is achieved by having the floor covered with mating and white or brown fur rugs thrown here and there upon it. During the win- ter few women cast aside their pretty blankets or dainty silk quilts and sleep under sable or ermine skins. In healthy? I suppose they are. but the

eager to be a woman of the world is poor ambition, but it is not. It is a good one since she is the woman who makes most happy the greatest number of people. The woman of the world is the one who considers what you like and attempts for her own comfort as well as for yours, to give it to you.
 She is the one whose manners are al- ways perfect and who does not offend you by gushing over you one day and by freezing you the next.
 Sle is the one whose gowns attract no notice unless by their absolute suita- bility.
 She is the one who can be friendly without being familiar and who can re- pei without being rude.
 She is the one who refrains from say ing malicious things not only because it will ruin the shape of her mouth, but because they are in as bad taste as swearing.
 She E the one who always makes you feel al ease with yourself and the rest of the world.
 She is the one who if stewed puppy were served at your dinner table would praise it's flavor and talk of the civiliza- tion of the Chinese.

 Never throw old kid gloves away. They are nice to use, for they save the hands in many waNs-for example, in gardening and dusting-and indeed if one moistensi the hands with glycerin or cold creameand draws on a pair of easy old gloves for an hour the hand is made astonishingiy white, smooth, soft and flexible. Another use for old gloves is to cut the backs for penwipers and to keep the fingers for finger stalls.

 Mrs. Langtry's bed is a wonderful one. The draperies, which were made in New York by famous woman dec orator, are of pale dove colored brocade.
 The upper curtains are of fine bolting cloth those at the top being embroid- sered in poppies, as if to induce sleep, sand those at the foot Tn morning glo- Ifdes, as if to welcome walkefulness. The stiressing table is draped with bolting akloth, embroidered in many delieate shued flowers. and the curtains on each Eside of the mirror have, after the French fashion, trailing vine of arti- affcial lilies, so that when the beauty stobks into her mirror she sees one Lily sfratned by many more.

 Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt's bed is said to be of dainty whitewood, with draperies of fine real lace and faint rose brocades about it until it looks like great pink rose inviting you to slumber in its heart. Her room has a delightful individuality, the favorite pictures, the loved books and the thousand and one little belongings that a woman likes be- ing here, there and everywhere about it.
 The room tells of the popularity of the woman, for Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt is undoubtedly the best liked of any of the women of the Vanderbilt family.

The emerald has just now great vogue given to it, and as it is said to bring good health it would seem worth while for one to save up one's ducats that one might possess the beautiful green gem. After all, since we can look at them, we possess them, for she who owns them can get no greater pleasure out of them. Oftentimes we don't re- alize that. We let the mean desire of possession control us, and we make ourselves unhappy because we cant own everything. Think what a bother it would be to have to take care of everythingi

 Apropos of furs, the news is reaching us, even in midsummer, that fur will reign supreme as a decoration next win ter. Have you heard of the latest thing in the jewelry line? It is intended to be worn by some one who objects to the ordinary garter, the regular "evil to him that evil thinks" garter, and elects to keep her stockings smooth by sus- penders. The dainty pair shown at a big jewelfy shop is of white silk elastic, the clasps being emerald hearts framed in diamonds. I could not but wonder who would buy them. What fool and his money would part for such trifles as these? And what girl. getting them, would not remove the clasps and utilize them as brooches or hair ornaments?

Perfect Fitting Skirt,

ehe best cut skirts are perfectly fit- ting over the hips, all the fullness being drawn to the back. They have only one seam up the back, suggesting the idea that the wearer has stepped into the wide, circular piece of material and has had it drawn up and fitted to her. All the thin fabric skirts are made separate from the silk foundations, with a frill- ing outside as well as in to keep them from shrinking in at the bottom. A fa- vorite method of decoration for the thinner materials is return to dear old style, three tiny ruffies. the top one being finished by a narrow heading.

Be sure in the meantime that the stitching on the back of the glove is also straight Now insert the thumb and look once again to see if the seams are all straight. It not, pull the glove off and begin again. The seam al the tip of the thumb should be in line with the middle of the thumb nail. Smooth the wrist neatly and fasten the second button first.
 All of this may seem tiresome but an expensive and well fitting glove is worth the trouble of putting 1t on carefully, for it will wear twice as long. In re- moving a glove skin it off quickly, turn
