WOMAN'S ECONOMY.
A Little Chat on the Making Over of Last
Years Frocks.

Women wlro have al w=ll-J ockcd

feel In duty bound to get their moneys

passfble this winter. gf the bsst Of their
Kind and of firzlt-class make, ths,1 a very
little manipulation will suffice. But re-

that is necessary. Great care should be
taken in the fit and line about THE hips.
For some mysterious reason, known only
to the dressmaking fr2l;e.nty, an inch or
two, some times more, is sure to 6i ap-
pear in the length as soon as the front
seams are tempered with unles in SIX L

gown look countryfied. With the bodice,

sleeves made smaller and up to date.

easy enough. Wastcoalts an. a good

precious stones, bf one can afford such

very accommodating, however, and, pro-

The better way of it is to have a very
modest affair off two lid.1e puffs of hair
cloth securely fastened to the waistband
on either side in the back. This sort of
hustle is never self-evid mt and it's pres
ence is rarely suspected. Very small

preferred by some.
The straight front corset continues it's
vogue, and the emily objection to Them is
the extraordinarily high prices charged.
They give full scope to the hips and
back, while keeping a tight r:in inNfront,
a decided advantage where there is
tendency to emlbonpoint. There VIII be
am epidemic Of suddenly developed hips
this wiri.er, and 1t will mot be because
the ld-time pad has been resurrected.
The wise woman is simply paying more
for her corset and studying carefully the
lines of her figure. Even not made to
order, the trying-on has become serious
matter. The straight front has "a very
greal. merit; it simply starts in by doing
the very best for what is already there.
The sink suspender garters are worm at
tached to the fronts of the corsets, and
not at the sides as heretofore.

and then she he1peli about the house at
various little Things, but not often. Her
farmer father was by this time we'll to
do, there was plenty of hired help, and
both father and mother were delighted
beyond bounds at the sight of their only
daughter doing nothing. To their sim

height of luxury and elegance. 1t was

SMART BLOUSE IN SILK.
1t Has Been Approved By the Ladies of Vic

BY the way, becoming and very TAX
ing blouse in silk, combined with plain
silk and lace, for autumn wear, has been
approved of by several ladies belonging
to Victorias court who always like to
look their best and smartest. A double
breasted front is trimmed in center of
front with a square yoke of silk re-cov-
cred with lace, and the material front is
mounted with four small tucks in three
groups across base of yoke, and then
gathered to lining in slightly bouffant
style at waist. The material back has
no center seam 1T fits plainly across the
shoulders, and is pleated in tiny tuck
pleats sewn securely to lining at waist.
The front meets back at under-arm
seam, and both the right and left fronts
are double-breasted, having a fitted lin
ing. The top of the sleeve is shaped like
a pointed military epaulette. The sleeve
has a separate upper and under, COW
cred with a ruched sleeve, and finished
with a pointed red collar, which is
shaped on the double of material in

lace There is a deep-pointed, cavalry

LITTLE SCHOOL JACKETS.
Attractive Garments For the ToddIers Up the
Hill of Knowledge.
From the Philadelphia Times.

FROM une Philadelphia Times.
One of the most attractive little school
Jackets have seen is made of dark blue
serge. 1t has broad box p9eat at the
front, trimmed with small pearl buttons
that hang loose. The basques are short
and slightly rippled, and are held in place
by "a narrow belt that slips under the
front box plait. The collar is a big COL
lar trimmed around with rows of narrow
black braid. The sleeves are moderate
coat sleeves, with small cuffs outlined
in the braid.
1t is really surprising to see how a
French mother will contrive to make one
skirt answer for many waists. A French
woman actually told me that she had
provided six waists for a skirt which
her daughter, a girl Of 10, was to wear
to school.
Out of curiosity I asked to see the
skirt. 1t was what we cali a. Mckinley
plaid. The groundwork was green,
crossed with red, yellow and blue stripes,
placed so as to make a very complex
effect. 1t was decidedly pretty. The
waists were green, red yellow, blue,
black and brown. They were of serge,
novelty, wooden and lady's cloth.
In France they dress girls very child
ishly until they are grown up, and the
girl with the many waists will accept her
mothers dictum without a word.

Just now smart women are wisely re-
viewing two pleasant accomplishments at
which they were once so proficient-em-
broidery and fancy work of all kinds
and the arranging of flowers in their
rooms. When a society woman gees out
to dine in a quiet way she takes her
work bag with her and spends the even
ing stitching at some pretty sofa cush-
ion, bedspread or mantle piece border.
This has besn essentially a flower year.
Thanks to the progress in Horticulture,
great armfuls of bud and blossom and
greenery are cheap enough to buy For
the dinner tables little trees in pits are
all the rage. The newest of these IRE
the tiny olive trees, the scent of whose
starry white blossoms Is quite delicious.

the snake would fling itself from the

which did not have to uncoil, would

many efforts apparently gave it up as

Cashmere shawls and India shawls
are greatly in demand. They are used to

worn with velvet or cloth skirts. They
are very handsome, and also becoming.
Such blouses are built straight from the
shoulder, and they are held in at the
waist line by fancy belts of leather, sill
