Easily Made Corset Covers.

Embroidered nainsook and Swiss
edgings, just the right depth for corset
covers, are provided for that use. A
yard and a quarter Of the material is
required for person of average size.
The fitting is simple. The piece is held.

around the body; the back is made
smooth, and openings to fit the arms
are cut in both sides ANY extra full.
ness is left In the front. The arm holes
are faced with plain cloth and the
openings at the shoulders are enclosed
with ribbons tied at the top. The
fronts are hemmed. Darts to relieve
extra fullness, II the waist is for a
stout figure, may be taken below the
arms. Then across the bottom Is
stitched an inch or an inch and a half
wide beading, and through it a ribbon
is run. This serves as a belt and ties
in the front. Baby ribbon is laced
through the eyslets Of the embroidery
at the top of the front, drawn suffi.

Make the Bed Comfortable.

Too much care cannot be expended
In making the bed as comfortable and
Aleep inducing as possible. In regard
to the bed itself, brass or iron beds are
superior AA every way to the old fash
ioned BEDS of wood.
Sermons have been preached from
time immemorial on the evils and dis
comforts Of feather mattresses and pill
lows. In spite Of this country people
still adhere to their feather beds, either
on the score of economy, or owing to
instilled prejudices against new
tangled notions"
There have been decided improve
ments in sheets and pillow and bolster
covers during the last score of years.
All sheets are now double width, and
pillow and bolster covers of tubular
weave, that 0oes away with the seam
at the sides and reduces the making
Of sheets and pollow covers to the
mere hemming Of the edges. The
best sheeting is Of coarse cotton or
linen Of q heavy texture, and of an
eTeA weave. For bolster or pillow cov-
ers get a finer texture, whether Of
cotton or linen.
Fine bed blankets are to-day so low
In price that there Is no necessity for
making heavy cotton comfortables for
pi0ced quilts. The eiderdown quilt ia
beyond the reach OF any but the
wealthy, but the arctic down quilt
which takes its place, is nearly as light
and warm a bed covering, and decid.
edly cheap In comparison. The objec.
tion 70 these quilts is the same as the
objection to cotton comforta bles-they
cannot be washed at home, and it costs
almost as much to have them reno
waited as 1t does to replace them. Down
comfortables can be renovated by
steam, like a feather pillow, II sent
away, but q cotton comfortable can
never be satisfactorily washed. Blank
cts, on the contrary, are not difficult
to wash and to dry.--New York Trih-

Women who Golf Too Much.

to beautifyiDg and renOvating itself as

says a beauty specialist. "Under the
smooth, gracious currents Of society a
herce, ruthless undertow sweeps out to
wreck all women who lose their Cy-
therian gifts of charm. 1t Is life and
death with them-that is, It is bread
and butter in every class, to keep the
appearance Of youthful good looks.

Wide sleeves are on everything, from
cloaks to negligees.
Shell combs for the hair with large
pieces Of coral are one of the novelties
Of the coifrure.
Most sleeves show some fiat trim
ming at the top, and the baggy part
usually ends above a cum.
Among pretty things is a gun-metal
chatelaine watch representing a golf
ball. On each side protrude golf
sticks.
There is a novelty in corset fabrics
that has the effect of a herringbone
stripe from Its interviewer silk thread,
and is called fancy drill.
The Killed skirt is SHOWN in the fall
gown. Some Of the light autumn chev.
lots in heather tints and the soft neu-
tral tones are especially pretty.
A novel fan Is of ivory, having o
series OF wings like a windmill, which
are set in motion by spring. They
are not only practical but pretty.
There are tassels Of silk, wool and
thread. Some OF them dangle from
silken sheaths which are a cross be-.
tween scant petticoats and trousers.
Smart and practical dust cloaks are
shown made Of a very fine sailcloth
In pale biscuit shades decorated with
gold and silver tassels and black WI

An ola irish Loving Cum.

An old Irish loving cup presented to
Lady Cadogan on her departure from
Ireland is unique in its way. 1t is a
silver cup that was made In 1874, and
the marks on it are similar to those on
the jug Of the same date in Lord
Harlech's collection, which bears the
inscription: won by Smiling Bald at

gauze that is kilt pleated and makes
the prettiest gray dresses, which are
simply captivating when worn with
rose hat.
Though not distinct novelty, the
rose boas have a novel look. These are
composed altogether Of delicate sllken
rose petals, or land newer the petals
nestle in a downy bed Of marabout.
These are really most exquisite and
are to be had in all colors. s.-Philadel-

Ostrich boas are, OF course, stand
ard; one might say classic. They are,
however, expensive and perishable, and
uncurl in damp weather. They really
wear off much quicker than one would
suppose, a process which curling hast
ems. While short ostrich boas may
be had at smaller sums, a handsome
one of good length costs S45 or there
ubouts.
The suburban citizen., 1902-10-11

Coque feather boas are to be as good
as ever. They are as handsome as they
are durable, and to most women these
glistening black beauties, with metal
lie glintings, are very becoming. The
fancy still is to have them curled q bit
at the ends Of the feathers.
Many of the lOveliest boas are all or
part of marabout. These are woven
into the broad, fat, stole-like shapes,
most Of them terminating n three or
four tails at the ends. These are lovely
In two-tone effects, aC well as in plain
colors. Brown and castor are both
beautiful and suitable for street wear.
They come in all the delicate tints. A
mixture Of pearl and white is exquisite,
so Is maize and cream.
