The Best Remedy
For a sewing machine that is In a mood
and refuses to sew particular stuff, nc
matter how it is presented. thick or thin,
single, double or in gathers. and per-
chance a thin stuff, is to lay slip -ot
paper each side the offending seam slip
1t under the presser foot, and sew with
steady force. After sewing the paper can
be pulled off.
Silk
Ravels so 1t Is i'll to mend In any fash
ion. 1t may be darned zigzag and last,
but wears the usual appearance Of pre-
meditated poverty. In darnng the gaping
rents of children's stockings it helps to
stretch coarse net over the holes. catch
it around the edges with few basting
stitches, then weave the darnlng through
its meshes. Patching is better than darn
ing for knees, and sometimes for heels.
Cut the worn place square and big enough
to cover the knee cap, raveI out the stitches
at top and bottom. and make roll hens
down the sides. Do the same thing to
the patch, first fitting 1t exactly Whip
the hemmed edges together and join the
raveled ones by sewing loosely through a
stitch at time in each side This makes
a seam nearly as elastic as the stocking and
gives that article new lease of use.

The drapery is managed with two mate

How to Take Care of Shoes.

Buyers should never go in the early
morning TO buy boots and shoes. II It Is
remembered that activity and standing en-
large the feet and at the latter part of the
day they are at their maximum size there
will not be so many complaints OF shoes
being tight which at the time of fitting
seemed perfectly comfortable.
Never wear a shoe too small or that
does not fit when you first put It on. for
misery more complete than a shoe that
pinches does not exist.
shoe should be washed every now and
then with a wet rag and oiled overnight.
In this case a fresh application of Hacking
restores the brflliancy of the leather.
wet shoe must never be placed too near
the fire. for it will become hard and stiff
The way to save shoe that is wet from
an early grave is to wipe Ii OF and then
apply an oil or cream by means of soft
piece or flannel or cloth. Wear old shoes

Patent feathers should never be handled
until warmed. and they can be made
smooth and bright by cream rubbed in by
a clof or by the palm OF the hand, when

For
Giving style to the room which must serve
as living room and reception room at the
same time there is no one note so effective
as the proper fitting up and placing OF the
piano. Where room viii admit 1t should
be drawn across the corner, and the first
essentials for this arrangement are the
drapery and the arranging of lighting ia
cilities back of It.
The light is most easily and simply man
aged by attaching small candelaibra of
two or three candles to the front of the
piano itself. putting 1t In at the low point
at the left where the light falls upon the
music. With electric lights this can be
easily managed. or without it candles will
well repay for the trouble in later con-
venience and artistic effect
To the fastidious TASTE the little metal
touch given by the candelabra is empha-
sized in a way worth while by the addition
of hanging handles In the same design and
material. These are put on at each end of

The Art
OF bringing furs up to date Is one which
can be easily practihed at home this winter.
The new furs, like the late jackets, are
things of rrorks and frills; that is, the most
beautiful and costly ones are. and 1t Is
herein that there is chance both to en-
large an old fur set and to give it some
thing of the laboratories which pervades
everything.
An ermne set which was fabulous In
price had a part of its beauty in simple
treatment which could be applied to any set
Of the shorter furs. The foundation of the
neck piece was a simple collarette with an
outstanding collar, not high and with the
edges cut in shallow points. Around the
collar was drawn a scarf of white point
d'esprit, being held on at the back and
throat and down the front as far as the
collar reached with small rosettes OF the
net.
The net had been treated to a fine ac-
dordon plating, and just at the points of
the collar it was allowed to hang out loose
~ into long scarf. This was edged on
the bottom with a deep ruff1e, also gath
cred full by means of the plating. 1t was
made entirely of parallel rows OF the point
d'esprit footing and a heavy val. edging of
the same width. This same crimped edge
was frilled in all around underneath the
edge of the collar and allowed to project to
a good depth. The result was an extreme
ly full and fluffy collarette, which had the
effect of being large without really having
much fur in it.
The muf was still easier to Manipulate
from fur already on hand. II was abso-
lutely unpadded and simply a piece
doubled over and cut in three points on
the bottom the middle one being a little
the larger. Where 1t was tackled together
at the lower edge it was wrinkled up, with
the effect of being slightly gathered, which
drew it around to little bit of a resem-
blance to the conventional idea OF a muff
shape With the same plated ruffies of
net set under the lower edge the muff was
even prettier than the collar The same
idea could be excellently followed out in
black plated muslin ruffies for black furs
or in dark brown chiffon for brown pelts,
while for a squirrel or chnchilla set the
addition of gray chiffon to exactly match
would result in dressy set which would
be almost impossible to duplicate.
In all the best small fur jarlSets frills are
provided for the sleeves at the elbow
whether or not the space below is filed
with a cuff. The muffs are invariably filed
with lace or chiffon or taffeta ruffies at the
ends. and where there is no coat to match
the mpf the neck piece can be brought

The Fancy

The Fancy-
For making menu and dinner cards In the
form of toys has brought out some extrava-
gantly pretty and clever designs. The new
est idea is to have a small place card which
carries out the idea of a larger and more
elaborate menu card of which only two
are required for the table. The automobile
has reached such state of perfection in
It's latest paper edition that it can be trun-
died from one part of the table to another
for the purpose of letting everybody read
the little bulletins concerning the dinner
which are lettered on the awning which is
spread on top. The place cards that go
with this are the little accessories of an
automobile trip, such goggles the long
basket, caps, and a cleverly made little
replica of the wonderful head dress of the
birdcage kind which is reproduced In lace
paper.
There are little fanciful chariots, also

FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

Making railroad rates is like play
Ing game of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sihle move is studied for it's effect
on the general result by skilled traf-
tic managers. \ false move in the
making OF freight rates may mean the
ruin of a city, of a great manufacture
ing interest. of an agricultural com
munity Railroads strive to build up
ali these so that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competi-
ton of business. So sensitive to this
rivalry are the railroads that in order
to build up business along their lines
they frequently allow the shipper &C
practically dictate rates Rate MAX
ing has been a matter of development
of mutual concessions for mutual
benefit That is why the railroads oil
the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates so much lower il
this country than they are on the
aforementioned and operated rail
ways of Europe and Australia tina
they are now the lowest transporta
tion rates in the world.
