FORWOMEN
cheviots and seraes

Herringbone cheviots and serges and
| sort, smooth serges, both of fine ana
wide twill, are apparently to be much
used for tailored frocks; but, as usual.
broadcloth and satin cloth will be the
materials par excellence for the dressy
| tailormade-and for innumerable other
purposes.
Ribbon Embroidery
You may have been reading a lot
about ribbon embroidery without hav-
ing a very clear notion of what it is.
To realize it's beauty, you need to see
it; but, as near as words can describe
it, it is like this: Garlands and wreaths
of the tiniest roses fashioned of puck
ered-up silk in the delicate pompadour
shades of pink and blue, and applied
rather fatty to the material. 1t has
the effect of applique embroidery, but
Is ten times lovelier and daintier, both
in detail and effect.
Indian Pickle
AS a tasty accompaniment for meats
Indian pickle is recommended. Mix to-
gether two tablespoonfuls each of mus
tard, curry powder and salt, two table
spoonfuls of turmeric and garlic,
dram of cayenne and eight ounces of
peeled button onions. Stir into the mix
ture, slowly, two quarts of vinegar:
cover and let it stand in a warm place
for four days, shaking the mixture up
now and then. Then put it into mix
ture of cucumbers, string beans, cauli-
flower and onion. r
Evils of the High Heel
The boot or shoe. that it may not slip
upon the foot, which by the high heel is
deprived of it's usual purchase of direct
down
with undue firmness just above the
back of the heel. Chatting of delicate
skin is readily produced. This, though
in itself a trifle, may lead to graver
troubles. Inflammation of the leg with
abscess formation not infrequently fol-
lows, and the exciting cause has been
traced to the patients shoe.
To Apply Lotions
One very good way to apply a lotion
to the face, when time is not taken into
account, is to pour as much as is needed
into a clean saucer and use sterlized,
absorbent cotton or gauze. Make some
little balls or pads of the cotton and
keep them in a clean, wide-mouthed
jar, with a screw top, and use as
needed. Dip them into the lotion and
gently wash 1t over the face, using
fresh ones from time to time during the
process.
Something New in Jackets
Among the new things shown this
season, says a Paris letter, is an odd
form of jacket which consists of wide
bands of embroidery, passing twice
over the shoulders to form the bolero,
with one long end descending on the
skirt, stole fashion. This is used on a
suit of bright blue taffeta, and the
bands are embroidered in black SOU
tache and little appliqued pieces of
black velvet. The skirt is ornamented
with a broader band of the same trim
ming.
Wreaths for Evening Wear
Wreaths of all kinds are much used
for evening wear. For the hair wreaths
of tiny flowers ending in two points in
front are favored by young English
girls. Larger flowers are also used. A
wreath of scarlet poppies is most ef-
fective on black or darkbrown hair.
Holly will be popular later on, but this
means very careful arrangement and
should only be worm when the hair Is
abundant. 1t has, however, the ad-
vantage of looking we'll with dark or
blonde hair and even with the dull
shades.
A Hint as to Hands
Moist and perspiring hands may be
helped by busting over them OCCASION
ally a little starch, scented with any
favorite perfume, as it is very drying.
Washing them in water in which lump
of soda is dissolved is also helpful, as
the soda neutralizes the acid of the
perspiration.
