New York, Jan. 25.-It is already
time to talk of what the new shirt
waists will be like, because the manu-
facturers and tailors always work one
season ahead of time, and have just
completed their stock for the spring
trade All the smartest OF these little
bodices are made of checked bingham,
and there is scarcely an exception TO
the rule in favor of tucked bosoms.
There is no monOtony in the tuchlnS,
however One pretty pale blue waist
will have 10 fine tUcks, forming on
either side in front pointed yoke. thus
throwing considerable fullness over the
bust Another bosom is tucked IN dla-
mond shape another laid in perpend1c-
ular plaitJ, wide or narrow; and then
we have a change in the arrangement
of buttons Studs viii be little used,
for down the front. clusters of three or
five tiny pearl buttons are, at inter-
walls, sewed on very close together.
These properly do not hold the fronts
of the shirts together at all; service
able underband does that, While the
pearl knobs are for decoration purely.
In case anybody is DESTROYS OF asking
the question, it may as well be affirmed
here that shirt fronts viii pouch just
wee Bit that on many a sensible shirt
the back is quite as deliberately tucked
as the front, and cuffs ana sleeves are
in no salient points different from those
we wore last year.
Next after Bingham, the typical
woman's shifting of this season, in cot
ton goods, Will be white and colored,
widely corded pique. They have in the
majority been made with three deep
horizontal tucks across the full bosom,
and are caught in front with three or
four very broad white pearl buttons.
BY the way, it is whispered about
that the summer novelty in jewelry
will be studs and buttons and pins of
carved pink and mother-of-peari, set
in silver, or with skeleton silver pat
terms cut out over the pearl. Meantime,
while the women are snubbing their
pretty noses against show windows to
see the very early novelties that share
the public's interest with the January
bargains in white goods there are still
some very fetching evolutions being
made in the silk shirt waist The new
est conner in that line is a shirt of taf-
feta that opens only down the back.
It is usually evolved from tempting
bits of silky color found on some rem
nant counter, and it. buttoning UP be

one sinister weakness.
Instead, those with thin hair, wear
pretty little mobs made of white cot

fact. so say the wise and experienced
ones. a linen kerchief if faithfully
worn will in time produce q scalp white
and sweet as the back of ones hand,
and naturally the hair that grows there
on is greatly invigorated. But linen,
silk, flannel. cotton, or whatever you
choose, be sure to hang il up every
morning in the open air, and do not
wash it. The air is al sufficient to
keep it in a proper state of wholesome
ness. and even if you don't believe that
a color or a special quality of goods has
any virtue. don't lose faith in the night
cap itself.
It does keep the head warm at night,
a flannel cap does encourage a brisk
circulation of blood through the scalp
and you will not only sleep more sound
ly and sweetly. but preserve your looks
longer and in better condition for this
simplest of precautions.

ART OF RENOVATION.
Best Way to Freshen and Do Over
Old Silk and Wooden Fabrics.

Never attempt cleaning and making old
gowns unless the material is good enough
TO make it worth while doing the work
well.
In ripping up a garment use sharply
pointed scissors or a small knife. and
pull all of the cut threads out. Shake
each piece web, and dust silken fabrics
with piece Of flannel or old silk hand

benzine and alcohol are all explosives

goes, and unless one possesses a Per-

jeweled belt, the inclination is to put
off wraps entirely. This, of course,

splendors, but to go without a coat

To avoid the dangers, however, the
non-coat wearing women have adopted
undervests. These are sleeveless gar
ments,. cut like those of men. made of
black or colored silk, interlined with
swans down, and a Sreat comfort they
are indeed. Stout women, who cannot
afford to put on so much extra bulk,
are wearing, knit of Shetland wool,
sleeveless vests that button from chin
TO hips, ard these they declare, with a
fair show of truth, are much warmer
than any coats and far lighter and
easier to carry about on ones Shout

Mention of vests inspires a natural
comment on the WalStcOated glorieS just
now of the golfing woman. Her win
ter waistcoat for the links is a Won
derful and dazzling garment. In prin-
cess stitch. the front of it is knitted of
German wool, in color that startles and
certainly should dismay many complex
ions. Brilliant egg yellow, cerise. ar
senic green and cerulean blue are some
of the choice tones selected to shine on
the wintry landscape. The front is
knitted nearly up to the chin. and is
fastened down the front with six big
bold. brass buttons. A back of flannel
usually fits in these toys and sleeves
are added, rather big formless ones of
wash silk or taffeta.

Women whose heads are abundantly
covered with beautiful hair wear these
caps enthusiastically. because they are
so very enhancing TO beauty ard then
because the theory is that a night cap
worn IN time, through youth and mid
