A kiro.

A comforting and useful contriv-
ance is the little Japanese hand-warm-
er of "kiro,' as it is called. 1t is
really portable stove, and can be
tucked away in the pocket when not
needed. This little stove will be
found great protection when driving,
and can be fastened to the knees to
keep the legs from getting cold. You
can buy these little comforts at almost
any store where Japanese goods are
sold.
Fuel enough to last two months can
be purchased for fifteen cents. 1t is a
curious preparation Of charcoal and
gives off little or no smoke or gas.
People who have used this stove in
the sick room find it much superior
to the hot water bags-it is SO light
and the temperature 80 even. One
piece of fuel will last two hours.

pretty idea that will be something

choose that is soft and filmy. Then

How few women realize that 1t Is in
the putting on and off of a glove that
it is pulled out of shape If one is
careless in this operation. Watch an
experienced saleswoman sometime.
and you will see she puts the glove
on the four fingers before she does
on the thumb. In taking it off begin
at the wrist and turn back as far as
the second joint of the fingers. 1t will
then come off easily with gentle pull
at the finger tips. Don't roll your
gloves up in little ball as If they
were stockings, but stretch them out
and lay them away as fiat as possible,
with the thumb folded inside the
palm. If this care is taken your gloves
will last twice as long and look well
every time you wear them.
