.FORWOMEN
STYLES for BOYS

/ SAJiSo wv Bpyu
For the first time in many wears
| there are no grotesque styles for little
boys. The Little Lord Fauntleroys. /"
the Jack Tars" and the Cowboys
are no longer seen. Parents now
adays seem to recognize the equity
that a lad has in his own personal
raiment, and therefore more common
sense is displayed in buying clothes
for him. The New York boy of today
Is little man, writes a correspondent
| from Gotham. True, he wears knick-
erbockers, but he does not wear curls
or "a red sash. He has an oVercoat
| built on the same lines as his dads,
and he always wears stockings. No
crazy designs of caps are perched on
his head, and altogether he looks like
a budding little gentleman of dignity.
Lighting Parlors
Parlors should be fitted entirely with
side lights, because they give more
| light TO n room than candeiabra. The
bulbs should be placed at either side
of a mantel or In the center of the
mirror If 1t is desirable. To balance
with these, others should be put at the
sides of door that is most nearly op-
posite and at another door leading into
the dining room, hall or library. III the
parlor is finished In empire, the brack-
cts would be appropriate in gilt metal,
decorated with laurel wreaths, etc
Menu Cards
| Dolls have been popular of late as
| menu holders, with charmingly painted
cardboard faces and elaborate paper
dresses, and little Japanese dolls are
popular. The most delicate paper work
Is shown i'm rose and lily petals which
seem to be the garden flower picked
to pieces. Shell menu cards also turn
out to be surprise in that instead
| Of being a cleverly constructed card
board they turn out to be real and
beautifully polished shells with mother
Of pearl lining, upon which details
concerning the different courses are
written.
Cleaning Paint Work
Kitchen paints will soon acquire a
shabby. dull look from the frequent
| cleaning that is necessary in this room.
The use of soap only increases the
| difficulty, especially if the paints are
| vanished. The best plan Is to boil one
| pound Of bran in a gallon of water
FOR an hour. then wash the paint with
this bran water, and it will not only
be kept clean, but bright and glossy.
A woman who rejoices in a spotless
Kitchen will welcome this idea.
The Use of Chiffon
A popular fancy of the moment is to
cover an old silk dress with two shades
OF chiffon. A gray glace silk shading
to rose pink that was covered first
with rose pink chiffon and then with a
thin quality of pale gray was the
triumph of little home dressmaker.
The hem of the pink chiffon is bound
with silver galloon and the waist is
finished with a girdle of pale rose silk.
New Style Corsets
The latest novelty in corsets is made
of eyelet embroidery, and is intended
for wear beneath lace and lingerie
blouses 1t is supplied by it's inven-
tors with a short slip bodice of the
same material, this merely extending
over the bust. Another novelty is a
corset made in the waist and below it,
scarcely any above and is dedicated
entirely to the use of the tea gown
To the tea gown also may be allotted
the special advantage of a corset made
of tricot. entirely elastic and lightly
boned Many of the varieties of elastic
stays are made all into one or in strips
of elastic
