SOME DON,rs.
Compiled for the Consideration of

Don't pin your black hat on with
white pin, and don't Use a heavy,
faring ornate one. 1t may be the
one Earring note in an otherwise
pretty toilet.
Don't buy cheap gloves, or, if you
buy them, don't wear them on the
street. They always look their
quality and price, and they are dear
at the cheapest.
Don't carry the handkerchief in
evidence on the street in the front of
the bodice or stuck under the belt.
Formerly a handkerchief WAS for
show. 1t is now more generally for
use; besides, you might lose it.
Don't go on the street with the tail
or hem of your gown frayed and
soiled. 1t is not an attractive sight
to masculine eyes, and you are less
ening thereby the days of usefulness
for the gown. Keep your skirt well
brushed and the binding neatly in
place.
Don't put up your hair so that the
end of every pin shows. Use as few
pins as possible, and cover the head
well with the hair A head bristling
or glittering with pins is not attrac-
tive.
Don't wear rubbed or unkempt
shoes on the street, rancying they do
not show. They do, and a few
moments devoted to sewing on OF
buttons and polishing adds very
much to your general appearance OF
neatness.
Don't, if you use a little touch OF
makeup, use it carelessly. A careful
touch sometimes improves, but a
careless one invites ridicule.
Don't carry the gloves in the
hands Put them on. 1t will i'm
prove your appearance and be less
| trouble. Don't wear them unbut-
| toned.
Don't trust to pins to hold things
in place. They often come out al
unexpected and inconvenient times
Hooks and buttons, sewed firmly
are more desirable.

Glad to Get Rid of Them.

Some years ago regiment of volunteers
was encamped on the outskirts of coun-
try town. Among those whose curiosity
led them to the encampment were three
hardy laborers.
AS the three were stroliing round tho
camp they came across IL large tent, over
which was written the following notice,
"Dinners-as much as you like for shil-
ling Being hungry, the three went in
to dine.
They began their meal, and after five
other parties had come in, dined and gone
again they were still busy eating. Present
ly young man, evidently one of the at
PENDANTS, came up, ard tapping one OF
them lightly en- the shoulder said in a low
voice:
Here, you chaps, my governor sent me
to say that if you like to go now he won't
charge you anything for what you have al
ready eaten. Pearson Weekly.

Very large hats of tan oolored felt are

Ladies who have become weary of re-

their advantage to try those made of al

Bright red waists are fashionable and
becoming to brunettes. They are spe
cially pretty for dull and gloomy
weather.
Among the new trimmings are jew

SO cunningly applied that they resemble
Florentine mosaic.

most useful additions to a woman

and there are few more satisfactory in

Some of the newest skirts are padded
inside and SO arranged as to increase the
fullness about the hips. As the shout
ders grow smaller the contour below the
waist line grows apace.
Passementerie and braiding are the
favorite trimmings although they are
so mingled with lace embroidery and
bead work that one is scarcely able to
tell where the one begins and the other
ends.
Among the new sleeves are several
attractive patrott. One is an evening
sleeve made fairly close fitting from the
shoulder to the elbow, where it ends
with velvet band. Three very full
bias ruff1es, edged with velvet ribbon,
form the finish.

The public speaking bill, which
passed the House last Tuesday, will
very probably be stopped in the
Senate. In should be. The bill, in
it's present shape, practically places
any member of a public audience at
the mercy of the speaker. The
speaker can BLACKBOARD whom he
pleases and there is no redress for
his victim. If he interrupts the
speaker, he can he hauled up before
magistrate and fined as much as 500,
or sent to jail. The amendments
offered, one after the other, to give
some protection to the audience,
were voted down. The speaker can
say what he pleases and the man
who resents any insult that may be
placed upon him will have to pay for
it.

Plucking Fowls.

Plucking fowls may be easily and quick
~ accomplished in this way: AS soon as
the bird is dead immerse it in a pail of
very hot water, the water to cover all the
feathers One minute is usually long
enough to keep the fowl under hot water.
Too long soaking is liable to discolor the
ekiu. After this hot bath the feathers are
SO loosened that they can be almost rubbed
of. The bird is then rinsed in cold water
and wiped with soft cloth. 1t should
then be put into a cotton bag kept for this
purpose and hung in cool place. When
fowls are not to be used at once, they
should always be loosely rolled in cloth or
paper to keep them from turning dark.
Ducks cannot be managed in this way, as
their feathers contain so much oil that the
water does not penetrate them.

There are those who object to the lor

time at disadvantage with respect to the
beautiful lorgnette chains of gold, beaded
at intervals with precious stones, since
without the accompaniment of the lor-
gnette the chain seemed superfluous, long
watch chains being no more in vogue.
Some bright individual, however, con-
ceived the idea that the chain might be
used as a muff support, and now there is
no excuse for not wearing one of these
