LITTLE NEEDFULS FOR WOMEN

by a narrow ribbon attached TO the
lower frame of the glass by a red
headed pin. This cushion, full of pins
is convenient when making the tot
lette.
Nothing is more needful than bags.
These are usually made of stout ere
floral pattern. These roomy affairs
are drawn up or pulled out at will
by an inch-wide ribbon or tape Small
bags are attached TO the longer ones
for the holding of needles, cottons.
etc.
A pretty button bag is made of rib
bon about four inches in width, and of
any length preferred, connected By
stitches as in embroidery. At the top
of the bag make deep frill, and run
at the opening a casing of ribbon bv
which it can be hung.
For waists or dresses which require
folding, a covering is useful TO keep
away the dust. Have some soft pieces
of muslin about a yard square, either
of silkoline, lawn or thin sateen. Bind
all edges with an inch-wide ribbon or
a wide tape Wrap or cover each
waist separately, or, If need be, the
dress entire. Articles of this kind
should be washable, and will fast for
some time TO come.
Other 'needfuls" appreciated bv
women of dainty tastes are veil cases
of linen, trimmed with lace, with the
center embroidered or monogram
worked; handkerchief cases made OF
silk, covered with boiling cloth, and
then painted or worked; glove boxes
made on the same inviting plan; and
delightful sachets for the bureau and
for different garments.

How They Pay for Their Luncheons.

In enc of the sky-scraping office
buildings in lower New York two of
the lawyers who have Offices on the
fifth floor have luncheon together al
most every day. They meet at 1
o'clock near the elevator. Just at the
side of the shaft is the mail chute,
and many letters are sent down the
slide from the floors above.
Zach day when Lawyer Coke ap-
proaches the chute he holds his watch
in his hand. Lawyer Littleton men
tons numbers ten seconds"
Then the two Ilen stand gazing into
the glGss-frontel mail slide for ten
seconds. At the expiration OF that
time the two men turn away and go
to their luncheon.
They had been doing this for many
weeks before the elevator man asked
them what they did if fer.
Well, said Lawyer Coke, 1T is this
way. | am timekeeper and Littleton
has the privilege of stating the time
If letter falls down the chute from
the floors above within the time he
calls out, then i have TO pay for his
luncheon. If no letter falls within
the time, then he has to pay for mine
It's an easy way of deciding which
is to pay"

Table Cloth of Leather.

A new and handsome hanging for a
library or den door was made of half
inch straps of soft, dressed leather,
stitched together to get the requisite
length. At intervals, leather fringe
about three inches deep, sewed to-
gether at the top, was slipped up the
lengths, and secured every twelve
inches, giving a tassel effect to the
whole.
Leather hides are now dressed tc
an ooze surface OF velvety softness
and are much used for table cloths
Sheepskin also is, exceedingly popu
lar, and it comes in all the paste
shades, as the skins take the dyes per
fcctly.
Leather covered panels are used fol-

Hints for the Mothers Which Will Enable Them Make the OAR
Practically as Attractive to the Child as the New

While quite small girls take great
pride in their appearance, they are
Just as pleased over a nicely re-
modelled frock as by new one. Here
in lies the opportunity of the puzzled
mother with limited means. She has
only to make serious study of the
recent styles, and she will find that a
clear adaptation of their salient points
will so transform an old garment that
it will take ON jaunty and up-to-date
appearance.
For instance, box-pleated skirts are
in evidence on the greater number OF
the new model suits. 1t is simple
matter to reconstruct a full shirred
skirt into box-pleats. | know case
where a white cloth sailor suit, too
soiled to be of further use, was dyed
an off shade of crimson-a sort of
tulip red. The skirt was laid in box
pleats reaching trife below the
knees.
The full blouse waist, with its deep
sailor collar closing high in the throat
for winter wear, was taken apart and
cut over according to the new spring
design, which is less full and more
shapely. The small blouse was fitted
over a plastron of white pique on
which green emblem was embroider-
ed A narrow Follower edged with
green braid replaced the broad sailor
collar 1t met in ''V' at the front,
and was fastened with a tie of sage
green taffeta silk The odds and ends
of cloth were used as strap trimmings
on either side of the blouse. Green
emblems were used on the sleeves and
a big bow of green silk held back the
hair.
The new blouse waists for little
girls are more or less decorated with
either tuckings or straps. Any stray
pieces of silk or brightly colored
cloths can be used to freshen up in
this way a waist that is a trifle anti
quated. A blouse, by the way, can
readily be reconstructed into an en-
tirely new design. The fullness can
be gathered in a sharply pointed yoke
of a contrasting color and material,
and decorated with rows of braid fol-
lowing the lines of the yoke. Small
pointed sleeve capes, edged with braid,
start from either side of the yoke and
are fitted over the shoulder. The
gathers of the blouse are caught into
a narrow pointed belt formed of two
rows of braid
The old gathered skirt was re-
modelled into a fan front. with mar
row pleats on each side, and was
freshened by three rows of braid laid
on IN points.
There is no pFettier way to obtain
new effect than by adding collarettes
of some odd material discovered in the
family ragbag.

VERY woman who Is the pos
- SCISSOR of "den," or has an
- idea of making one, is sure
to add certain conveniences
for her personal comfort. The femi-
nine nature Graves accessories of this
sort, and is always on the hunt for
them. Any decoration that is prac-
teal and useful is sure to find a place
somewhere.
Among pretty trifes there are a
variety of pinholders. A useful one
for ordinary pins is in the shape OF a
book made of satin or silk, in either
dark or light colors. After the cover
is made, lined, and a tree-stitch given
to the edges, paper of pins is fasten-
ed inside to the back of the cover
with a ribbon, which then ties and
closes it.
A small pincushion may be made
of two squares of linen. Around all
sides make half-inch hem, and above
it a line OF hemstitching. Between
these two squares slip III a fiat cush-
ion, which is held i'll place by a No

and few cuttings OF red silk, the
latter being used as pipings. The
blouse was cut after the shapeiy
spring model. and showed an inside
plastron of dark blue broadcloth The
open neck of the blouse was fitted to
this plastron by a series of crimson
piped collarettes starting from a
piped strap Tapped over with a gold
button.
The blouse itself was shaped to the
figure by groupings of tiny tucks
which broke into fare before reach
ing the waist line. These same tucks
were carried out on the full sleeves
caught at the wrist by blue cloth
cuff, little puff of cloth being visible
as a cuff fastener. An effect of added
freshness was conveyed by a dainty
turnover collar of white lawn and a
white ribbon bow in the hair.
A dainty little dinner dress of any
white fabric that has become too
short, or whose sleeves are old fash
Toned, can be heightened and rejuve-
mated by adding a ruffie and remodel
ling the sleeves.
\ charming design that can serve
as an ideal model for the remedying
of shortcomings is a white Persian
lawn worn with rose pink under
slip.
The baby blouse is made with j
round neck fastened to an inside lace
piece by rose baby ribbons and finish
ed by full lace edge ruffle, which
falls over the sleeves in pretty capes.
The waist is constructed of horizontal
lace insertions, as are also the sleeves,
the latter being shaped puff tied at
the elbow with narrow rose ribbons.
The skirt is laid in insertions care
fully gathered to the waist and finish
ed by lace edged ruffle. A rich
rose-pink grosgrain ribbon sash and
coral beads give the necessary touches
of color White ribbed stockings and
high sandaled shoes complete this
dainty little costume.
1t IS not easy TO remodel a coat
but any pretty spring design is fruit
full in ideas for the clever mother. The
new rep and fuzz cloths, in all the
odd colors, are extremely attractive
warm and light of weight.
A jaunty model coat is of cham
payne fuzz cloth, with seal brown
pipings of velvet The coat gives the
fashionable length-a trifle below the
knee-and is finished by a row of ma
chine stitching and velvet piping, just
enough above the edge to form a
border. The sleeves have deep cape
decorated with brown link cordings
and mother pearl buttons, the latter
being similar to those that fasten the
coat. This sleeve cape is fastened to
the coat by an encircling strap pass
ing front and back, and decorated with
stitching and velvet pipings. The full
sleeves are caught into a shaped turn.

sign and piping are applied to the
pockets.

Beautiful Backgrounds for

Unlike many millionaires, William
c. Whitney cared more for his city
home than his country residences. He
was especially particular about the fur
nishings and the beauty of his New
York home, and delighted in providing,
he said, beautiful backgrounds for
beautiful women" lie remained for a
good portion of each season in this
home in Fifth avenue. Then the spirit
of unconventionality seized him and
those who received his notes a day or
two afterward were often surprised TO
read the heading, The Joy Cottage
on Easy Street.
This IS the name of his quaint-look-
ing cottage at Aiken, 5. {. With its
slanting roof and FIVE dormer win
dows. this house has scarcely the look
of a millionaire'S mansion, but in il an
unexpectedly large number of guests
can be put up.

When David Kalakaua was King of
Hawaii he spent large sums of money
in organizing brass bands. He en-
ployed a German musician who taught
the natives music. 1t is partly to his
credit that the Kanakas have become
so expert on brass instruments.
One day it was announced that a
new national march, composed by the
Kings German bandmaster, was to be
played that evening in the band stand
on the lawn of the Royal Palace.
King Kalakaua had his big cane chair
brought out on the broad veranda so
that he might listen IN ecstasies of
patriotic pride.
