salesman changed them for her. but in the
process said. in a polite manner but with
conviction. Madam, most of our customers
throw their gloves aside when they have
worn them half as many times as you say
you have had these on The customer IS
still angry.
Perhaps the clerk ted the truth There
are doubtless thousands OF women who give
TO pampered maids perfectly good and fresh
articles which only need a slight rejuvena-
ton to restore them to all their forme =
freshness, ana this, too. while the hungry
SO unfed and half the world sells its Ve.y
soul for bread. But fortunately these care
less thousands form a small percentage
Indeed. it may be said without fear Of con-
traticton that among intelligent women Of
means care is taken Of handsome and eX
pensive materials. Silks and velvets are
made and remade, while laces and furs are
he!rlooms. And even gloves. whose eN
pense is not large in proportion to the
enormous sums wealthy people spend On
many articles of adornment are worn and
reworn, well cared for ard cleaned again
and again.
The Wise Woman.
1t was the gloves of a woman who is be-
yond all monetary troubles which first
opened my eyes to glove cleaning as art.
Her white gloves were spotless. and even
the fact that she had so many pairs did not
account for it. Frequently several pairs
were put in the pocket in the side of her
carriage when she was going first to Il
matinee and afterward for round of calls.
Her maid had found benzine which was
not only deodorized, ii was slightly per
fumed with something which did not re-
mind one of musk. OF COURSE We all know
deodorized benzine is a polite fiction. but
this was near it that with the addition
of this fresh cologne smell it evaporated
Immediately.
A number of pairs of gloves were laid in
a small basin partly filled with benZ!ne,
and were brushed off with brush in the
same manner that one would use nail
brush on the hands; not too briskly but
with decision and thoroughness. Then
each glove was taken out separately and
laid on "a white cloth. and all the fingers
and any soiied places carefully wiped with
another CLOTH BY this time they were spot
less. Then they were hung laid on
clean cloth in a warm place where there
was not much dust Uhis bars open regis
ters), and when they were quite dry they
were hung in the air Then they We're
pulled and smoothed into shape put In
pairs between pieces of white tissue paper
and their happy owner was so pleased with
them that she always wears white or pearl
colored kid gloves whenever il is possible
Her suede and mocha gloves she usually
sends to the cleaners. it is so hard to
get them properly into shape and keep the
color in them.

Carrot Soup.

Put two ounces of butter or dripping into
a stewpan with ounce or two of bacon,
two small onions sliced, a stick of celery
cut up into small pieces and six good sized
carrots which have been cut into slices
cover the pan and let the vegetables SIM
mer gently for ten minutes. Then add
three pints OF cold stock. a small blade of
mace and salt and black pepper to taste;
let the stock boil up; draw the pan to the
side of the stove where the contents may
simmer until the carrots are quite ten
der.
When they are ready, strain the soup
and rub the carrots through a sieve; mix
the vegetable PURGE and the SOUP then pour
back into the saucepan. and when it has
boiled up stir in a tablespoonful of flour
which has been smoothly mixed with lit
tie cold milk and let the soup boil for few
moments Add tablespoonful of finely
chopped parsley and serve accompanied by
little sippets of fried bread.

Where Fashion Hurts
Now we have shoes, gloves and collars in
condition, not to mention passing glimpse
of the law OF the shampoo as a detail. Be-
fore quite disrnissing collars let US con-

reaching up the long-suffering glands on
the side of the neck. They are ina-tistic
Very few women can turn their heads in
them, and when you can't turn your head
easily you are stiff, and that puts an end
to and grace
The more one thinks of collars the more
there is to say about them. They are most
important and one needs many of them
Fortunately they are easy of manufacture

white chiffon about the high bodice also
with lace, another of white satin with a
butterfly bow of chiffon III front and a
serviceable collar of the figured black tat
feta of the gown, with two POINTS of lace
turning over it.
Brush With Care.
Another matter much neglected by women
is brushing By some sunny window which
she can command at her pleasure should
each woman hang whisk broom, n clothes
brush and a bonnet brush. Summing, shak-
ing and brushing ward off age in clothes
Brushing is not n trife really. but from
the scant attention paid il by many women
who aim to be well dressed il is evidently
so considered.

Rawdon and the Becky Sharp types. where
the entertainers depend on what they win
to replenish their excheQuers for the com.
ing year, are fairly swarminG. 30 should
advise travelling Americans who encounter
extremely affable and would-be sociaole
swells at Monte Carlo to beware, for the
Rawdon Crawleys are dangerous as well
as costly friends.
Louis Seize Again.
One who claims to be quite infallible in
the matter Of fashion predictions tells me
that the smartest of the now gowns will
follow the Louis Seize style. Skirts will
be a trife shorter and full below the knees
Tho best skirts are and will be lined with
MORE satin, these fabrics being also the
correct things for the making Of petit
coats
One cannot but be amused at the revenge
taken by the aristocratic danes Of the old
Faubourg in originating the Loubet hat.
1t is a satire on the unfortunate affair at
Auteuil in which Count Chrstiani. in his
enthusiasm for monarchy, struck President
Loubet, the representative of republican
ism, on the crown of his head. The Lou
bet models show the collapsed section of
the hat at side just where CHRISTIANS
cane smashed the chapeau of the august
president of France. One pretty model Of
this shape shown in the shops Is of white
straw, stitched with black. one side higher
imam the Other. w mite and gray SpeckleQ
wings trim the hat 1t has achieved al
ready a great popularity with the monar-
chial set, and. to their amusement, is even
being adopted by some of the women OF
the republican clique: who have not yet
realized it's significance
Panne Theater Bodice.
The theater bodice Of the moment is
made of panne, delightful model being
OF pink, with inserted cream lace down
the front and narrow bands OF the pink
panne piped with white satin. The col
lar is half Of lace and half Of piped panne.
A very charming combination is the use
Of the ught-fitting corselet with the bolero
jacket, the outline of each being made as
marked possible. The bolero usually
flares little, that the grace Of the
tlght-fitting corselet is more noticeable than
it would be if it melted gradually into the
colors of the gown instead of being en-
phaszed by black or something of that
sort.
plaited-the plaits of the narrow sort that
waists in V-shapcd bands, on others in YER
teal lines, but seldom in the all-round hori-
zontal fashion. Often just above the strap
of finer plaits of the material will be in
serted.
Lace BIOuses Worn.
Lace blouses are frequently to be seen
