Novelties in jewelry are to be expected
at this time. as well as novelties in other
lines. The crystal heart, clear. white and
colored. is much in evidence. Among a
LOT of new chatelaine holders it is a
prominent design, set in bright ana oxy-
died silver. 1t appears also among new
garter buckles. A pretty five chain cna-
elaine has the usual pendants, the mix
purse. court plaster case, pencil. pom
bon box and pungent. Sometimes q
whistle is added to the collection. Ii one
can be content with IN ordinary chatel-
aine set of silver of neat design, the cost
is reasonable, but the wealthy maid de-
mands that each article be rare and
UNIQUE. In silver the purse ma be had

bon bon box, $50. and the pungent, $l.25
or 81. Long chains are still popular. Be
side those of silver and gold, many fancy
ones are being shown. One of these con-
sists of alternate jet and crystal beads.
Another consists of three chains of fine
black beads, held at regular spaces by
fancy bead clasps. Hat pins are most
ornate. showing big colored stones, cir
cles with small ones. Silver bangles bear

There is an exquisite charm about a
neatly dressed woman. She does not
wear her hair twisted up carelessly, as
if just about to fall over her shoulders.
Her gloves are not ripped at the seams
nor any buttons missing from her boots.
Her veil does not reveal a hole over her
chin. nor does the binding of her skirt
show ragged in places. Now, many,
women show their tidfness in all these
little details, but it is a pleasure to meet
the girl or woman who is well groom
ed" The cloth gown of such a woman
fits her without a crease, and there is
neither sDeck nor spot on it. Her linen
collar and cuffs are snowy white and
remain properly fixed in their places.
Her gloves do not wrinkle. but button
smoothly over her wrists. her shoes are
kept clean and polished, her bonnet or
hat is pinned on straight and her hair
is neatness itself. She is the picture of

The family whose members wear fine
all-wool f~annels all the year through
have solved the problem of having them
washed well. To prevent shrinking they
must be pressed out when they are still
damp and carefully pulled into shape.
Where there is only one servant it is not
to be believed that she would stop in the
midst of her other laundry work to press
flannels: SO there are two wash days in
the week. Flannel DAY IS Thursday, when
no other washing is done. Sweeping is
arranged by having different rooms swept
thoroughly only on alternate weeks
the bedrooms, for instance, on one week
and the living rooms the next. so that
time is made for the extra wash day.

Winter skirts are decidedly umbrella
shape-the are close fitting around the
hips and ffaring at the foot. To be in
style they can scarcely fit too closely
around the waist. Many of them are
gored until they are positively skin tight.
A woman who wears such a skirt must
be very particular about the fit of her
under garments; the corset must hug the

fitted and the dress must be worn always
over the skirt and corset. 1t is only in
this way that a perfectly snug fit can be
produced. The skirt fits like wax to
a point about four inches below the belt
line; then It begins to flare and gradually
continues to flare Until it is very wide
around the foot.
That delicious fruit, the banana. is
scarcely appreciated in England, as II
ought TO be. But, then, we do not bring
an infinite variety of preparation to bear
upon 1t, says an English exchange.
In America, for dessert, they cut up the
fruit in long. thin pieces, squeeze lemon
juice over it, and dust literally with
sugar. Lemon juice gives just the right
zest to a banana and takes away the re-
proach it bears of tasting like scented
soap.
A medical paper assured us the other
day that a baked banana was the most
wholesome and nutritious food possible.

luncheon. My friends speak well of it.
