Notes From The Southern Jewe1er.
The snake barrette is one of the most
popular couture ornaments and comes
in every grade from the precious gem
set to pretty Roman, rose or green fin
ish and sterling silver.
Snake and turquoise matriX effects
are in high favor for buckles of every
kind.
Gun metal chains punctuated with
crystals provide fashionable and in
expensive adornment
Chatelaines comprise purse scent bot
tie. mirror, tablet or notebook, tiny
puff box, bonbonnierre and any trim
kets one likes to an unlimited number
A back collar button and scarf holder
with a curved post and heart shaped
face appears to be very convenient
article.
Patterns in new silver spoons are
most gracefully outlined, tip, shell and
fiddle designs ranking among the neat
est.
Strap bracelets with buckles in finf
gold work are fascinating things.
The correct earring is of the screw
drop variety.

on the same material, and the open
work stripes on many Of the fancy
gauZes, with a thread here and there
| of tinsel, are most dainty. There are
also very pretty silk crepons with pea
spots.
| Useful evening dresses range from
black and white tulles through lovely
+! graduation of grays and mauves, crocus,
parma and pensee being the three lead
ing tints In the latter, to most alluring
fawn colors and rosy reds.
| For good hard wear in the evening
there is nothing better than Russian
net, mostly in small patterns, though
the meshes are large. Some Of it is
spotted, but much Of it is more elabo-
rately designed.
Spots and rings both figure on all
gossamer materials for dresses and mil
linery.
The little boleros and coates, ending
about two inches below the waist, car
~ all before them in the way of smart
and lively styles, while the very swell
and distinctly new thing Of it's kird, as
carried out in silk, is the three-quarter
coat. Properly fabricated in taffeta,
these two lead the spring procession.
The first cut shows one Of these little
taffeta boleros with the new collar and
lapeIs of mauve panne velvet covered
with new tussore white and gold en-
broidery. With this is worn an en-
broidered toque in shades Of mauve,
with roses and viOlets.
Still later and very swell is the hand
some three-quarter tucked taffeta coat,
with fine black embroidery. 1t has the
new shaped sleeve, terminated with
band of velvet and rows Of chiffon.
The chiffon boa down the front, with
Killed chiffon at neck and cuffs, gives
an additional touch Of fashion. The
hat is directoire of finely tucked silk
with plumes and jet ornaments.
The second cut displays the model Of
chic promenade toilet composed Of
the new silken canvas intwo shades of
pastel gray. Choux and straps of black
ribbon velvet pass oyer the shoulders

A New Floor Covering.

The floor covering Of bedrooms is en-
tirely a matter of taste. Many object
to the hard wood floor even when we'll
covered with rugs. For the country
house a foundation of denim for the
bedroom floor is excellent, says the
New York Tribune. 1t is as cool and
clean as mating, is easily cleaned and
has not the odor that accompanies near
ly all matting-an odor which many
people find Objectionable. Rugs show
we'll on the blue denim, particularly the
cotton Japanese rugs in blue and drab
or blue and white.

WHY Live if Not to Learn ?-The Tyr

why Live if Not to Learn ?-The Tyr
amy of the Kitchen Table.
If any one were sufficiently coura-
gcous to tell the average thrifty house
keeper that she was extravagant, that
maligned individual would look at the
daring person with Mortified amaze
ment; then she would become indig
nant and would probably ''say things"
in very emphatic but truly feminine
fashion. And yet, resent it as she
might, in the majority of cases it would
be true.
Money is not the only thing that is
worth saving in this world, nor is it
the best thing. But the knowledge of
this is always tardy in its arrival. A
little stopping once in awhile to think
and to take account of ones mental,
physical and nerve stock will very soon
set things to rights, especially If the
women will be sensible and think in
the right direction, and, above all, if
they will dare to be independent of the
opinions Of other women, who, like
Themselves are held down by tradition,
and do the right and sensible way even
if it is Numerically opposed to ''the
old way" Why do we live if not to
learn? And why is it that innovations
are SO warmly welcomed in every 9th
er branch Of labor and so persistently
frowned upon in the domestic branch?
That is a puzzle | gave up long ago,
says writer in Woman's Home Com
panion. The only solution that in any
way explained it was the bugaboO Of
American housewives-the fear Of be-
ing called ''shiftless." But that can't
be the answer in these days OF wom-
ems clubs, with their domestic and eco
homie departments. Therefore all such
nonsense should be promptly done away
with.
Much Of the economy in housekeep-
Ing both Of time and strength, de-
ponds upon the conveniences one al
lows oneself for doing the work. There
are so many labor saving devices
nowadays that every woman should
find positive and permanent relief
from many burdens. Take, for exam
pie, the kitchen table. By some mys-
FERROUS and inscrutable law, as i'm
movable to all intents and purposes as
those Of the Modes and Persians,
every table for every kitchen is made
of a height corresponding to that of
all other tables for all other kitchens,
and all the women of the country, tall
or short, are expected to work at this
table; at least they all accept it as
though they were compelled to work
at 1T, and they take it, with all the
other housekeeping traditions, with
out a word Of protest Or complaint.
For the woman whose height it ac-
commodities it is all right, but for the
taller one it is all wrong, and it may
be so easily righted if one will only
stop for a moment and consider what
is the trouble.
