CARE OF KID GLOVES.
tome Useful Bits of InfOrmat ION That
May Prove Profitable to the
Economical Women.

Economy in small things is often
overlooked, and if only more considera-
ton were given to this subject quite
O. considerable sum might be saved am
nually. The careless manner in which
large number of ladies treat their
gloves is an instance in point, and per-
haps the following hints may serve to
show how the reasonable care Of kid
gloves would result in a reduction of
expenditures:
In the first place, it may be pointed
out that rough handling is specially
disastrous to kid gloves, and it often
happens that a new pair are split and
ruined by jerking them on in careless
fashion. Always put on pair of kid
gloves for the first time long enough
before they are to be worn to allow of
due deliberation in the task. When a
pair of fine gloves are bought the pur-
chaser should insist that they be fitted
on in the shop; then if there are any
flaws they will be detected before the
gloves are paid for and taken away.
Cheap gloves are generally risky in
vestments, but some of the best shops
keep fairly good line of gloves at low
prices, which are worth buying for com
mon wear. If strong and well made
they will serve for shopping and morn
ing walks or for bad weather.
In putting on glove be careful to get
each finger straight. Coax each one on
by rubbing gently with the thumb and
first finger until the fingers are down to
the ends.
In taking the gloves off turn the wrist
over the fingers and take hold of the
ends of the fingers through the wrist.
It wears glove out badly to pull it off
by catching hold of the finger tips. Pull
the glove into shape and lay aside care
fully. Silk should be kept to match
each shade, and gloves should be
mended as soon as break appears, for
the old proverb, "a stitch in time saves
nine" is especially appropriate to these
articles of attire. Glove mending is
delicate work, which requires both
skill and dexterity, and when well done
pays admirably for the pains taken.
Glove powder should form one of the
adJuncts to every toilet table, and
pretty glove stretcher another.
French women set good example,
and have made quite an art of putting
on gloves, and this is why Parisienne's
gloves last her four times as long as
anybody else's.
Buttoning gloves should never be
done in a hurry. The wrist should be
carefully and gently pulled straight
and the buttons insinuated gently into
the holes. Use glove buttoner always,
it ruins both the buttonholes and the
finger tips to button them without.
After purchasing new pair of gloves
always sew the buttons on before wear
ing them. The annoyance of having
the buttons drop off will then be
aNoided.-Woman's Life.

FASHION NOTES.
gomc Short Items on Dress for the
Present and the Com
ing Seasons.

Hats made of fur and tulle present an
extreme but very smart combination.
The jet paillettes are in great demand
for trimming black gowns in lace or
| net.
soft stock collar is much preferred
by some women to that of very unyield-
ing material. All collars are very high.
Buckles form a prominent place
among the dress trimmings. They are
used as belt clasps, both back and front,
and in small sizes for the center of
bows which fasten the gowns at the
side. Crystal set in silver forms one of
the pretty varieties, which is an old
fashion revived.
Mousseline velours is a new material
for evening gowns. 1t has finish like
mirror velvet, but longer nap, more
like panne, and the warp is usually a
contrasting color, giving it a change
able effect.
Foreign fashion notes tell us of hat
pin with a fastener secured by tiny
gold chain, which makes it impossible
to lose the pin without losing the hat.
Pins with chains attached are used as
hat ornaments to fasten bunch of
flowers in place.
Spring and summer goods are now
filling the shops, and to get the first
and prettiest designs in thin goods one
must not wait until March. Cheviots
are in pretty stripes, plain colors and
in rather large diagonal plaids. Some

A solid plaid in white goods makes
up attractively and with certain style
of its own. Figured white has the adj
wrinkle, as do the plain goods. waist
made of the white plaid with sleeves
and yoke of the plain is very pretty.
When velvet is used on an evening
waist 1t must be of the softest quality.
The mirror velvet is very much in de-
mand, for it is more on the plan of the
liberty satin and velvet, and goes into

ness of the heavier velvets. The shades
that are used are exquisite, pretty
fashion being the introduction of some
contrasting color. A white gown would
be relieved by light pink or bright blue
velvet introduced on the waist around
the low-cut neck and in the sleeves,
while with the gray gowns is often seen
a yellow velvet; indeed, yellow and
gray are considered most artistic. If
the yellow is not becoming, it can easily
be softened with white lace.
A pin box is novelty that appeals to
every woman. 1t is common failing
of the sex never to be able to keep a
supply of ordinary pins, safety pins or
hairpins on hand, and the pinbox is de-
signed to obvate this difficulty. 1t is
nearly foot long and about five inches
wide, and is made of white metal or
solid silver. Inside it is lined with vel
vet, and divided into compartments for
she'll hairpins, ordinary hairpins, hat
pins, safety pins, and, in short, pins of
all sorts. The box is beautiful orna-
ment for the handsomest of dressing
tables, and is a great time as we'll as

looking girl carrying a number of sofa
pillows, as she knocked at the door OF

fourth street and Ellis avenue, Mrs.
Benton was in, and to her the girl con-
fided the fact that she was selling real
sea-moss stuffed sofa pillows at one
dollar each. Mrs. Benton didn't care
to invest in the suspicious-looking ar

Ten minutes later there was another
knock on the door. This time it was
the tenant from the first floor come up
to ask Mrs. Benton if she could change
a five-dollar bill.

she put it back in her purse. II want

let ME have one for rs cents. But what's
the matter, Mrs. Benton? Are you i'll ?"
Mrs. Benton dropped into chair and
gasped: BUY one of my niece's pill

tell you she is my niece? Why-why,

somewhat frightened. Il am sure
couldn't be mistaken. And she seemed
such a sweet kind of girl. Why, she
even said you had raised her and taught
her to make those pillows. And she said
that she was selling them because
times were SO hard"
But Mrs. Benton jumped in hurry.
Ill go right down stairs with you and
ask her what she means. She's the
most outrageous person ever heard of.
The idea of my raising that old thing!"
When Mrs. Benton and her friend got

that many of the tenants had bought
pillows on the supposition that they
were assisting Mrs. Benton as we'll as

added that she didn't intend to buy I'M

as he has already indicated that his

withdrawing the state volunteers from

whether he would need more men after
he has received the re-enforcements now

TO embark as soon as transportation can

force believed TO aggregate 1900 efTec-

him that the troops now on the way
and to be ordered would give him an
army of about CO.. coo men, after allowing
for the return of the state volunteers.
