BODICE WITH NEW F1scHu.

Especial attention must be given just
now to bodice trimmings. F'ischus are
the most prominent decoration and
these are quite different from those
used upon summer and early Autumn
gowns The airy and perishable ehif-
fon and gauze have been supplanted by
substantial pannes and satins and the
order of things is entirely changed in
every way.
A Louis XVI. gown recently i'm
ported is made in stone blue tricot
cloth. The skirt is plain except at
the front where a graduated ruffle of
the cloth comes down from the waist
line in a graceful cascade.
A belt of satin to match the color of
the gown confines the waist and al
though it is several inches wide in the
back at the front it is hardly more
than a band and is secured with the
tiniest of jeweled buckles.
The fischu of the bodice is the dis
tinguishing feature of the gown. This
is made of panne velvet draped in sew
eral folds and finished with a ruffle of
heavy Russian lace. 1t terminates at
the front, without ends, under ro-
settle. The long stole ends, modistes
declare were too mature in appearance
to remain in popular favor 50 the fash
ionable hschu is finished with only a
rosette or bow of satin ribbon.

A handy hint.

Everybody almost has their own spe-
cial pet way of cleaning brass, but
when it has been allowed to get very
dirty, the following will be found to
yield good results Dissolve two ounces
of rock ammonia in pint of perfectly
boiling water. then pour over the brass
and leave for five minutes. Scrub thor
oughly with a stiff brush, and then
rinse two or three times. first in shot
and then in cold water. Dry carefully,
and polish with brass paste, and you
will find that you dirty brass looks
like new.

Danger Of Damp Sheets.

sheets are responsible for far more ill
nesses than is generally supposed Ev-
cry mistress of house should, if pos
sible, personally attend to the airing
of household linen. 1t is at all times
difficult to persuade servants that the
airing of linen and clothes is not to be
accomplished by simply hanging them
on a clothes-horse near a fire. Unless
each article is unfolded and it's po-
sition changed, until all the moisture
has been drawn out of it. the process
of drying is not effected.
