Cotton Hnnsinss Are U.efu1.

For some time the special value of
cotton fabrics for country house serv-
ice as hangings and draperies has been
known. Their growing excellence in
manufacture, which has brought de-
sign and finish almost to perfection,
has promoted these fabrics to quite
general town house use. The fact that
moths pay no attention to them makes
them popular with housekeepers. 1t
would, perhaps, be surprise to one
who has not given the matter recent at
tention to discover what excellent eA
fects can be produced in hangings, fur
niture coverings and even rugs that arc
made of cotton.

with an inch-wide band of Prussiah
blue silk braid.
The waist had blouse effect, front
and back, and was box plated, the front
plaits being overlaid with bands of
brilliantine like that which embellished
the skirt. The collar was high, finished
with narrow linen ruching, and the
sleeves, which were full enough to al
low perfect freedom to the arms, were
plain, relying upon their neat finish for
their beauty.
With the woodland cycling suit a
short white sailor was worn with a
curled quill and band to match the suit.

The Neck Chain Is Gone,

Definitely the chain is gone. Too
great popularity killed it. In it's place
the bangle ventures to put forth, but
the result is in doubt, and by determin-
edly putting off their watches women
have ceased to make themselves the
slaves of time. In truth, never was so
little jewelry worn as in this summer
of grace, and the fancy for oriental pat
terms is as marked as ever. At night
in the couture very charming wreaths
of SMALL clear green enameled leaves,
ivy, myrtle, laurel, bay and grape foil
age, fasten among puffs and braids, and
sometimes row of leaves forms the
top edging for tucking comb.

BRIGHT Ilurners.

To remove discoloration from lamp
burners, rub with brush dipped into
acetic acid, wash in soapy water and
rub with dry cloth. Trim wicks Just
above the lower line of charred portion
and clip the corners slightly with scis-
sors. This will give you a truer flame
than from wiping or scraping the wick.
Never fill the lamps full; leave small
space for expansion and to prevent the
oil from flowing over the outside of the
lamp. To avoid an unpleasant odor
when the lamp is lighted always turn
the wicks down well after trimming so
that the oil will not rise to the top and
spread to the outer sides of the burners.

FOR COUNTRY RIDING.
A Stuart Outht of Black and White
Plaid for the Daring Wood
land Cyclienne.

The costume of this woodland cy-
clienne is worthy a paragraph in the
most conservative of fashion articles.
1t is specially adapted for long spins
through shady groves and also for
rough-and-tumble riding.
1t is developed in lightweight Scot
fish goods trimmed with bands of
bright silk poplin, which in their turn
are finished with narrow strips of
braid. The writer recalls one partic-
ular woodland cycling suit of royal
brown plaided with Prussian blue and
a generous tracing of crimson.
The skirt was the ideal rainy-day
length, very faring at the hem and
close-fitting about the hips. The full
ness was laid in plaits at the back.
Around the foot was plain band
trimming of white brilliantine headed

Here is valuable recipe which every
careful housewife should preserve if
she would have beautiful linens. Take
the juice of two peeled onions and put
into half an ounce of finely cut white
CASTLE soap and two ounces of earth
from the druggist; mix together and
stir in one cup of vinegar; stand over
the fire and let it boil thoroughly. Let
the mixture cool before using. When
linens are badly scorched spread the
paste over the brown spot and leave till
dry: then wash out the linen, after
which operation the scorched spot will
be found to have disappeared.

all sorts of new patent medicines by
means of samples distributed free of

they can be had without cost, may

absolutely sure, and to throw all un-
