more striking models. in intensified degree.
Take coats and jackets for spring under
consideration. One feature will be found
in great many of them, appearing both
in the bobbed off etons that terminate away
above the belt. and in the coats that reach
some little way below the waist line. 1t
consists in having the upper portion of
the sleeve in one with the body of the
garment. the seam coming just over the
shoulders round, or anywhere between
there and half way to the elbow. A very
stylish slope is got in this way, and when
the seam between the two parts of the
sleeve is put we'll down toward the elbow
it becomes pronounced, which also is styl-
ish. In all of these garments there is a one
ness of line in this section which has styl-
ish value, and this is suggested now and
then by line of trimming from collar to
where the sleeve proper begins Such trim
ming is simple. At top and bottom it may
emo in some simple ornament, but its mid
die course must be unbroken, else its effect
Will be quite upset.
Viewed from the side some of this shoul-
der and upper arm trimming seems to stop
with artistic suddenness. The rule that it
should not extend to the lower end of the
sloping line is positive, and often this leaves
the widest section of the sleeve without
any ornamentation whatever. This may be
the case, too, when the lower sleeve has
trimming in to scheme with that
above and an elaboration of the other. AT
first glance this will strike many as de-
feet, but it is not so from the stylish view
point. If, however, the first impression
remains after further consideration, it then
will not be difficult to secure a coat or
jacket that is of stylish arrangement and is
without this feature.
Not a few of the winters medium of
securing the slope are continued, those
which include cape-line finish for the top
of the bodice recurring with especial fire.

Mrs. Belle B.: The woman who wishes
to travel as easily as possible will find IL
better to carry her outfit in a suitcase and
'hold-all," rather than in trunk, and
the two will accommodate all the really
necessary articles for a three-month's jour
ney. Among the necessaries for the voyage
are a steamer rug, an ulster or a golf cape,
preferably the former, a close-itting cap.
a special skirt of thick warm material with
a warm flannel waist, pair OF rubbers and
a pillow. An extra light waist and a long
skirt are carried most of the passengers
no means an Indispensable requisite. The
waist for deck wear and the underwear
should be warm, even in summer the
voyage is likely to be chilly. For travel i'm
Europe there must, of course be the short
walking suit one or two flannel waists and
as many more of silk or cotton as the
wearer wishes. The silk waists are prefer
able, they do not require frequent laun-
dering. The same fancy waist and long
skirt that did duty for dinner wear on the
steamer will suffice for all extra occasions.
and, with walking hat, the necessary out
fit is complete. Tho ''hold-all," shawl
strapped bag, is one yard wide and
two yards long. Any number OF
things may be strapped up within
it. and the clever packer will find
it possible to get all other necessaries into
a good-SiZed suitcase. II is still better,
however, to carry a second suitcase so that
the things which one always buys abroad
may be sure of accommodation. The woman
who desires a more pretentious accompani-
ment of clothes during her travels must take
a steamer trunk but as hand luggage is
much easier looked after abroad, the wom-
an who goes for a three-months' Jaunt will
she confines herself to the necessaries and
COS without the trunk.

Ribbon roses have been brought to great

Singing or Clipping Hair.

Margaret: For years there has been much
difference of opinion as TO whether singing
clipping the hair is the better method
for removing the faded split ends. If SINCE
ing is resorted to it should be done by an
experienced hair dresser for in the hands
of unskilled person, more harm than
good will result. Clipping, however, can
be done by any careful person with good
eyesight. The hair should be brushed
smoothly and divided into strands. Hold
strand firmly in the hand and, If the ends
are very much faded or split. cut OF one

pick up the shorter hairs and clip each end
just enough TO remove the split portion.
Continue thus until all the hair has been
gone over. II neglected for some time tho
hair is apt TO dwindle greatly at the ends
and be quite thin and worn for three or
four inches of its length. II this is the
case, II is a decided improvement TO cut of
this portion of the hair and thus start a
more uniform growth. The pernicious habit
of using a hot curling iron is responsible
for much of the shabby hair one sees. IL
the iron must be used have IL as cool
