Odds and Ends.

Cerise, cerano red, violet and turquoise
velvet yokes finish separate waists of taft
feta glace satin, etc, designed for theater
and at-home wear TOqueS a la Pompadour
are worn to match the velvet accessories.
Just keep little box of absorbent cotton
on your dressing table, and when some
friend wants to use a Whit of your powder
offer her nice fresh bit of the fluffy cotton
instead of your puff. No woman who thinks
twice will offer to use any puff but her own.
But there are women who never stop to
think. 1t is too much trouble.
busting should result in the removal of
dust from the house, not in stirring 1t up
from one place to settles elsewhere. The
feather buster will sweep, but cannot dust.
Dust should be wiped up and carried away
on a cloth, not spread about or shaken
again into the air. Less sweeping and more
proper busting will result in greater clean
ness.
What is known as the "gayety'' cure is
superseding 1.-The rest cure. Not a chance
to laze but a chance to laugh and be mer-
ry Says a noted doctor: Society and bust
ness women may need rest cure, but most
of the women who come to me for treat
ment need chance to view life's cheeriest
side. If they could get even allopathic doses
of fun they would soon be all right.
A raspberry cake that a. good house
keeper recommends is made by Dreaming
butter in the quantity of the weight OF
three eggs and beating it with the same
weight of crushed white sugar Add the
same quantity of sifted -four, teaspoon
full of baking powder, and two large table
spoonfuls of raspberry JAM, The eggs are
then quickly beaten in, and the Wnole Is
baked in a shallow cake mold.
The variety in negligee sacques is daintier
and more pleasing than ever. They are made
of corded silk with chenille Jokes, of mex
pensive satin brocadeS on pale colors, or
very delicately striped French flannel or al
batrosS and Silk-lined cashmeres. White
yelling with rose colored or blue Inning
shows tinge of lovely color through the
textile, and with collar and ribbons to
match and a little soft lace about the neck
and sleeves these jackets are irresistible.
At receptions, according to the New York
Post the theater. dinners and similar
fashionable gatherings, the hair is being
dressed very high at the back, the waved
Pompadour still being greatly anected.
Other stylish arrangements are soft loops,
loose braids and eight-shaped coils, held
hy Jewel pins and combs. This fashion gives
length to the neck and seems to add some
what TO the height. There is decided
charm about this particular couture, espe-
cially for a young and piquantly pretty per-
son.
Many of the coat and skirt costumes or
other gowns of cloth Of last spring in colors
of blue black, brown or green are smartly
freshened this season by the addition or ac-
cessories N a matching color in silk or vel
Vel on which small white spots are woven.
If orange or brilliant red spots are desired,
velvet in excellent qualities and so pat
termed is not far to seek. Indeed, by the
aDpearance of fabrics of every description
the display of ribbons, millinery accessories,
bows bodices boas. hose, petticoats, vest
fronts reyeTs. etc, spots seem to be IN evil
dence everywhere
