How to Clean Ivory.

Ivory can be cleansed and the color
in some measure restored by well
washing it with plenty of soap and
water, and then exposing 1t to the sun
just as you lift it straight from the
suds, being careful to keep the ivory
wetted with soapsuds as long as it is
in the sun; as soon as it is whitened
wash and rinse it well in clean, cold
water calculated with lemon Juice,
and then dry very carefully.
A lemon dipped in fine salt and well
rubbed on is also effectual for remov-
ing ink and other stains from ivory.
In extreme cases a solution of one
ounce oxalic acid (poison) in one-half
pint of water, we'll rubbed on with a
stiff brush, the ivory being then well
rinsed. dried with soft cloth and
left near, but not actually in front Of
the fire, is also very effectual if care
fully handled.

The New Fashion In skirts.

'The closest attention must be paid
to the fitting of the present-day skirt,
whether 1t be short or long" writes
Helen Berkeley-Loyd in the Delinea-
tor, ''for false. line about the hips
is a defect that cannot be concealed.
The new short skirt is bit shorter
than we have recently seen 1t; hence
the shoes and hosiery worn with It
must be of high grade, corresponding
with each other and with the gown to
which they belong Killing continues
popular; the plaits growing narrower
and more numerous, and fitted more
carefully to the hips. The French
models show much shirring, and in
response the American dressmakers
are introducing cores gathered or
gagged into the belt, between groups
of plaits. The newest modification of
the fashionable circular skirt has a
bias effect in the front and at the
sides and full plaits in the back. 1t
is also marked by the revived gradu-
ated founce. In tailored gowns the
line of union is left plain, or else it is
emphasized by shaped fold finished
with fine cord. Occasionally this fold
is built up in sort of ladder-work of
narrow bands of cloth or of rows Of
soutache dyed to match the goods
There are strong indications that the
apron front will presently be revived,
and some of the most jealousy guard
ed importations show a still more
daring innovation in the lines of the
skirt. For example, chiffon velvet
gown in cut.strawberry color has its
front gore laid in shallow but unmis-
taxable drapery folds, just below the
pelt and parallel with its dip. The
ends of these drapery curves disap-
pear beneath the narrow box-plaits in
the adjoining cores"

LINGERIE Hats,

That the popularity of lingerie hats
is evidently not fieeting is shown in
advance models for fall from Paris,
ried out in heavier materials. In place
of lingerie or lace, velvet is used for
crowns, made soft, full and fiat, and
flowers or aigrettes are substituted
for ribbon bows. From present indi-
cations winter hats will be only mod
erately large, with wide brims that
will turn up at the side and the same
sloping effect from back to front will
be used.

For Fall Wear,

The most fashionable materials for
the autumn have lustrous finish.
Broadcloths which are as glossy as
satin will be much worn and Henri

day frocks there are the supple
French serges, the wool mixtures in
fascinating color combinations, the
Venetian cloths, and the perennially
popular cheviots and tweeds.
The circular skirt will be prominent
In the new modes, and the tunic skirt
will be seen in a variety of styles.
Both short and long coats will be the
fashion. In separate waists there are
to be variations of the surplice style.
Many greens will be worn throughout
the autumn and winter. Red is also
fashionable The grays, especially
the shades known as smoke and Lon

Electric blue, the plum, prune and

Niohtcaps That Scent the Hair.

If you want to be in the very latest
fashion you must wear scented hair,
especially in the ballroom. There are
various ways of imparting a delicate
aroma to the tresses. The newest
takes the form of dainty little night
cap, which is cunningly scented and
imparts to the hair during the hours
of sleep a delightful aroma. This is,
of course, only a very old idea re-
vived; that the ancients Of luxurious
habits scented their hair is a matter
Of history. 1t should be an almost
impalpable odor that is chosen-one
that will suggest an atmosphere of
sweet, fresh violets, and nothing more.
To oyerdo it is to kill a pretty notion.

Because heavy linen embroidery in
close or open work happens to be a
fashionable trimming item on all sorts
of costumes It does not follow-nor
was 1t ever intended to mean-that
any old halfsoiled bit might be put
to service in that way. Yet the craze
has led to this abuse, and ruined
many an otherwise new and pretty
suit, which one might have admired.
An antique lace or embroidery is one
thing, the soil upon it is another.
Nothing excuses the latter, upon

crosswise fold and fold the skirt
around it. If this portion goes with
out creases or wrinkles, they declare
the rest is pretty sure to come out
