| When Grandmamma was young and
| inveigied g~reat-grandpa into the pur-
| chase of a new bonnet itw as invariably
sent home from the milliner's In a huge
bandbox which differed from the paste
board bonnet receptacle of today in that
it was superbly ornamented with floral
designs. AS a rule these designs ran to
carnations. moss roses and other fine
old-fashioned flowers. Some enterprising
faddist, in casting about for a motive,
had whisked the accumulated dust OF
half a century from these ornamental
| affairs and reinstated them in popular
| feminine favor. No beautiful bonnet or
hat is properly cased, according to the
strict letter of the law of fad, unless
deposited in one OF the old-time be-
Powered bandboxes.
Many of the leading milliners are ex-
hibiting them in connection with those
f1ower-embroidered aviaries and velvet,
plume tipped towers of their art and
creation. The carnations and roses are
printed on fine, glossy paper, which has
the effect and appearance of watered
silk, and the sight of the decorated box
is well calculated to subdue those tu-
multuous emotional outbreaks which are
liable to occur when the masculine eye
is called upon to contemplate the accom-
panying bill for the box Enclosure.
Old~-fashioned handboxes are not es-
| pecially cheap, compared with those
fiimsy cases which they have replaced.
Many of them cost from 80 cents to 81. so,
but they are a reigning fad. and cost,
after all, is not such a serious obstacle
to the progress of a fad as might be
imagined.
Every housekeeper knows that the term
"cooking-butter' means a grade of butter
that is not quite fresh enough for table
use. and is therefore only fit to be used in
cooking. says the .FWoman's Home Com
panion.' The trouble is that in some
houses butter never seems to become too
stale to be utilizide in the preparation of
various dishes, and it is employed in the

acquired a rancid flavor. When table
butter has lost it's fresh fragrance of
flavor and odor, it is still in perfectly
proper condition to use as an ingredient
in seasoning; but when it begins to be
strong in taste or odor, even in a slight
degree, it is ruinous as a seasoning and
impairing as an ingredient. 1t is nothing
short1of sinful that so many good dishes

economy which, supposedly representing a
saving of five or ten dollars a year. in
reality is the most wasteful practice com
mon to a kitchen. For butter that has
grown strong the soap-fat jar is the only
proper destiny.
One of the new touches on white mus
lin is to strap the seams with narrow
satin ribbon in white or very pale colors.
1t may be of interest to describe a
bridesmaid gov that a smart dress
maker is now making.

are three curving rows of deep-knife-
plated o%rgandie, the anticipating
edged with very fine yellow laces.
From the neckline to the ruffles every
seam is strapped with fine beading
through which is run a band of pink
satin ribbon ending in a loop at the bot
tom. The gown is fastened down the
back by hooks and eyes under one of
these headings. About the decollete line
is a anticipating or organdie edged
with lace. The sleeves are very long,

it, used on the sleeves as well as on

Thin arms should be carefully conceal
ed, says the Ladies' Home Journal
: They have an impoverished look that robs
their owner of some of her dignity. If
the arms are unduly long. as they -oe-
| c~asionally are, the effect may be neutral
lied by wearing wide bands of black vel
vet fastened with pretty buttons or
clasps or buckles. This reduces the APP
parent length of the arms. Thin arms
says M. Charles Blanc, the great French
| authority on dress, denote bad health

is to wash the arms with a fine lather of
| soap at least twice a day, and to dry them
| thoroughly and rub them vigorously.
This treatment brings the pores into
action and induces a healthy condition of
the skin. Rubbing with a soft chamois
| leather is excellent for the skin, giving it
both smoothness and gloss.

Toned cases that are used for the gloves,
wells, handkerchiefs, shoes and sponges,
respectively. cases. are now made to hold
! shirt waists. They are of some wash fab
ric of heavy texture. and fashioned in
much the same shape as a large night
| gown case. Around the edges they are
bound with colored braid. On the outside
it is very pretty TO have the initials of
the owner embroidered with wash cotton.
Tie ribbon design is the most popular,
and the colors used for both embroidery
and binding are yellow, red and blue.
Some Paris buckles show fruit designs.
