 Changes in Bodice.
 The sleeves the thing this season. All the big changes centre about the bodice, particularly in the sleeve" Mime. Baker told her auditors. The new sleeve springs out direct from the top Of the shoulder, being held out. puny and full by a little piece of teatherbone. covered and stretched across between the lining and the top or the sleeve-so," and she bent across the top of her own arm, from front 10 pack and about an inch below the line where the sleeve was sewed into the shoulder, a bit of white canvas. There you see. if that were under the material 1t would hold it right out in almost straight line from the shoulder.
 Remember this-any fulness at the bottom of sleeve is old fashioned Above the elbow the sleeve may he full but it should fit the forearm tightly. No more of the droopy bag

below the elbow Ohat sad droOp, 1t always seemed to mel, whatever you do. You may have a pun at the el- bow or q series of little puffs from the elbow up to the shoulder. but they must all stand out, not droop.
 "The foundation of the new style of bodice is the new corset. All the new corsets are higher in the bust than we have been accustomed to, and they de- fine the waist line In way We have not seen for several years. The sll- houette of the fashionable figure shows the bust held higher and the figure sloped in. All the new waists are draped. and many show shirring down the middle of the back, the full ness being drawn around to the front and caught in bolero or surplice form. No more blouse effects.
 Make n Figure if You Have It Not.

though one were trimming the eye lashes."
 'Is there not a great danger of the nails breaking?"
 "Yes; but if a woman Is careful. she will slip on an old pair of gloves when working in the house. The nails break when opening a drawer: when one is dusting; handling ones toilet articles, etc. But If a woman will protect her hands at these times. she can keep her nails long, and this means that her fin. gers will taper.
 q have had customers come to me with short. stubby fingers. so far as to be out of all shape. They had nice hands, or would have had nice hands. had their fingers been properly treated.
 Brittle Nails.
 "Women who have brittle nails should rub a little vaseline into the cu- ticle every night. They should keep the nails clear with hot water and soap, but should avoid polishing them.
 The polished nail, while pretty, is not so durable as the dull nall Polish ing thlns the nail; the more you rub 1t with the polisher the thinner 1t be- comes. If you were to keep on rub ping you would rub a hole right 
 "Furthermore, don't let the polisher. the orangewood stick, the fife and the cleaner do the work of soap and wa ter. Nothing Is so good for the hands as frequent libations of soap, and the longer you soak your hands in hot wa ter the better they will look next day.
 By care the hands and nails may be made so beautiful In a short time that any trouble taken will be amply recompensed."
 Arranging Flowers.
 The vessel in which you put your flowers has much to do with their eff feet Long stemmed ones of stately habit, like the lily. will be spoiled if low vases are used. Flowers with short stems are always unsatisfactory in anything but low bowls or shallow vessels. says The Chicago News. Color must always be taken into considera- tion.
 blue china bowl may be pleasing when filled with yellow roses. but put pink roses into 1t and you get dis cord. As general thing. a crystal vase or cut glass bowl will be found more satisfactory than any colored ves- sel, because when these are used there can be no clash of color-no striving for predomlnance in hue or tone be- tween the flowers and their receptacle.

ture. but some people haven't got any figure. and some who have carry 1t go badly they're almost as badly off as if they had none.
 There are lots of little ruffie de- vices for producing a good figure that are much pleasanter and easier than padding. as. for instance. three little ruffies to go on either side of the front. or series to pin across 1t. Also one must have little padding in the back for 1t is absolutely nece ssary ito produce n rounded effect.
 Belts are very wide, in spite of all that was said about their narrowing down. Two thirds of the dresses have girdle with deep point back and front. Some show the girdle tied at the side, a fashion that is taking we'll and was borrowed from a stage dress of Mime. Rejane's. Paquin Is making a speciality of his leather belts. painted sometimes with a spread eagle in the back, or with flowers. or sometimes having a fanciful arrangement of lit- tie buttons, Leather has the advan- tage of not soiling easily and keeping its shape, but as q rule the best ef- fleets are obtained by making the gir- dle a part of the dress. not something applied from the outside.
 There Is nothing new in collars they should still be close and thin and upstanding-nc sagging in the lines under the chin"
 Suits for dress occasions were next discussed. All the smartest have short coats, following the figure close ly and fitted with seams or little ticks. They all have something be- low the waistline-cOattails or skirts. Of course. there are separate coats long redingotes they are-but what ] am speaking of are costumes for call ing or dress occasions. And you may use as much braid as you like. Braid. chiffon and mousseline de soie. If you like. You can't use too much.
 Like the long shoulder, all those lace collar effects have had their day. A great many fishus and berthas are worn, but If enc sees lace collar at all it Is wired to stand out straight over the tops of the sleeves. (For afternoon and evening all the new gowns show elbow length sleeves. by the way).
 Ribbons are to be used lavishly for trimming. Some of them will have braid run along either edge before they are puckered up. It looks as If the dressmakers had formed a deter imitation to crowd on all the trim ming they could get. There is one very pretty use half-inch ribbon can be put to. Procure a coarse honitop pattern, then use the ribbon in place of the usual braid, putting 1t together with coarse stitches in colOred zephyrs or black twist. It is easily done and highly effective"

New York Tribune.
 It's goodbye to the straight tront' the long shoulder seam and the "droopy. weepy" sleeve. Mime. Baker lmparted this sad-or joyous-news to company of the faithful at yester- days meeting of the National Dress- makers Association.
 Now, I'm going to tell you about the new dress from tip to toe and from toe to tip" began Mime. Baker, seating herself comfortably on the low plat form and looking her audience square in the face ITO begin with, the new skirt Is not so full right below the waist line but at the bottom 1t Is very full. Paquin is making his skirts very full and fiaring. l should say six and one-half or seven yards of goods would be required for skirt for the average woman.
 "On the other side there is pas sion for horsehair. I saw handsome blue cloth that was lined from 'hem to waist line with horsehair. It was cut like the old godet skirt, very much gored, and set out around the figure in A series of f1uted folds"-and Mime. Baker spread out her hands to indi- cate the increased girth of the new garment.
 The New Skirt.
 Many of the new skirts are faced with horsehair from the hem to the knees. We are conservative over here- We adopt very few of these extreme Parisian fashions at the very start. don't think American dressmakers are likely to go in for this horsehair fad to anything like the extent Of the French dressmaker. We shall proba- ply begin with a six-inch or twelve inch facing. This will be the enter ing wedge. If you do use horsehair, you would better put 1t in the foun- dation skirt. unless 1t Is knock about skirt you are making, and cut your skirt in seven. or eight gores. Skirts must set closely in front across the abdomen. but"-and here the lec- turer spoke with great earnestness- but anything strained around the flg- ure is quite passe, and as for the habit back and any pulled back effect, they have gone our entirely"
 Apropos of the stand-out effect which is to prevail below the knees. she went on to speak of the heavy cording which will be employed to counteract any clinging or dropping tendency on the part of the goods of which a skirt is built.
 Gable cord as big as my thumb Is being run around the inside of the ekirt-two rows of 1.-two or two and a half inches above the hem It cer- tainly does make a skirt very heavy. but 1t gives the hoopskirty effect de- sired.

Wisdom of Women.

A certain woman who has a good library and is always buying books and music is very generous in lending both to her friends. Naturally she has found that people are often more ready to borrow than to return. so, ih order to be able to lend without loss she has de- vised a nice little plan. In a certain album each borrower writes his or her name opposite the title of the book and the date on which the book Is bor- rowed. On returning 1t the borrower is expected to comment on the book and to initial 1t. This album is naturally quite interesting, and as 1t is always to the fore. it Is often turned over by visitors, who soon see who Is and who is not prompt in returning books lent. The result is that the books are always returned and yet there are no irritat- ing reminders from their owner. whose album is always kindly regarded.
 Satchet of Ribbon Flowers.
 A chain of flowers made from satin ribbon Is what the new waist sachets look to be, but cunningly concealed in the loops of ribbon are pads of cotton. odorous with the scent of violets. These are fastened across the bust before the waist IS put on, and they set out tho form of the same, giving a much de- sired look of fullness to the thin sum mer girls waist.

 Do Not Cut the Nails.
 If you want pink nails, a little rouge Is put upon the nail. and if you want them very bright, the polisher is used But If you prefer them dull, then leave them just as they are.
 How do I improve the fingers them selves and make them slender and tap ering? By taking care of the nails. It is a great mistake to clip or cut the nails. if you want long. slender fingers The French women allow their nails to grow to a great length. and as they do not keep clipping them, they become very curved, delicate and extremely pretty. Once in a while 1t may be nec- essary to trim the nails little, but ir Is done as slowly and carefully as
