serges from 81, mohair figured goods
from $1.25, and plain mohairs from 75
cents All of these goods are Of double
width, and eight yards form the usual
dress pattern. In colored goods the plain
ladies' cloths are worn again, and these
should be sponged before making them

VARIOUS NOTES.
To Restore Plants That Have Been Used
For Decoration.

For Decoration.
Portieres, draperies and curtains are now
preferred In light colors. Pale green, yell
low and svon W lite silk Is employed for
hangings, as well as the less costly liberty
stamped cottons covered with large, light
tinted flowers.
1t Is said that black cotton and linle
hosiery may be preserved unfaded IL they
are washed in bran water. The bran must
be put in bag, and the bag must be stirred
about In warm water until a froth is pro-
duced The stockings are then to be
washed In the water, taken out and placed
in dry towel and squeezed. They must
be dried quickly at the fire.
A French authority declares that 1t Is
possible to restore the freshness Of palms
and other foliage plants which are used
for drawing room decoration and which
soon become yellow and unwholesome
looking in the dust and dry atmosphere
The regeneration is accomplished by wa
tering them with water In which a small
proportion of sulphate of iron has been
