The shcrt skirt gives but scanty ad-
vertisement to her dainty skirts; with
the long one she can command the sit

the short skirt that only the neatest

a thousand women you would pick
her out as the one who impresses you
most favorably, says the Pittsburg
Observer. Her under-garments are
as clean and well fitting as her out
er ones, and this Is one of the secrets
of her charming appearance. She
does not wear top,heavy looking
hats or long trains on the street like
the woman of poor taste does. She
never vulearizes herself by wearing
cheap jewelry and her handkerchiefs
are always fresh and of nice quality.
Consistency characterizes her attire,
making her a jewel precious and

To Clean Furs.

It is impossible for furs to go
through a whole season without con-
tracing a quantity of dust and dirt. A
light colored fur of course shows how
soiled it is. but the dark ones, not
displaying their dirt. are allowed to
get dirtier and dirtier. Furs may
readily be cleaned at home simply by
rubbing them with bran. Buy a
pound of bran, divide it in two per-
tions and place one in the oven to
heat. Spread the fur on paper on a
table and rub 1t well all over with
the cold bran. Then shake out the
bran and brush the fur with a soft
hat brush. When the rest Of the bran
feels hot rub it evenly into the fur
in the same manner as before. Shake
il out and brush it till the fur is
quite free frcm all bran and dust. The
satin lining of the fur will also need
cleansing. Squeeze out clean
sponge in warm water and rub the sa-
tin gently with It, but be careful not
TO let the satin get too wet. Rub II
dry with a cloth and hang It In Z
