Historic Revival In Wells

There is q rage this season in the
great fashion centers for empire and
Louis XVI styles. The long veil with
its graceful folds at the back is 8
| historical revival which harmonises
with the long lines of the directoire
coat and the silhouette of the new
hats The high-crowned hat with the
| outstanding plumes or panache of
feathers looks quite unfinished unless
it is draped with black Chantilly lace
or chiffon.
A Bathroom Novelty
For bathrooms there are all sorts OF
furnishings turned out in hard white
finish, quite different from paint or ell
amel, and said to be almost indestruct-
ible. A novelty is the bathroom stool,
which can be used either in or out of
the tub, and which is of this hard
white substance, the legs being fitted
with rubber tips.
Loose Wraps in Favor
All sorts Of little loose wraps seem
in favor here, says a Paris letter. A
small garment that is called a car
AGO" after the sleeveless blouses worn
by peasant women, is nothing bu. =
little loose bolero with a bit of a
cape sleeve and worn well off the
shoulders. 1t is sometimes of a thin
material, embroidered in woods or pas
sementerie, or it may be of perforated
cloth or souple silk. but the lines must
be loose and vague"
Iowa's Women Bankers
The increase of women in the bank
ing business has become so noticeable
in Iowa that its significance will be
discussed at the next meeting of the
Bankers association. There were but
two women five years ago in manager
al positions in banks. Now there are
fourteen cashiers and eighteen assist
ant cashiers.
Raqe for Ribbons
The fashion for ribbons is so decided
this season that they are used to an
unusual extent for trimming hats, for
ornamenting gowns, for a numberless
variety of sashes and bows, and even
for embroidery. They are, therefore.
seen in widths varying from the mar
rowest, so tiny that they are suit.
able for fashioning the daintiest floral
designs, to gorgeous sash ribbons
twelve inches wide. The variety of
widths is exceeded only by the variety
of qualities and the perfect riot of
colors.
The Little Things
The little things in Housekeeping"
that annoy more or less, can mostly ha
easily remedied. The squeaking dHor,
for example, which gets on the nerves
can be quieted by a feather dipped ir
oil and applied to its hinges. Wood a."
work, pencil-marked by little fingers,
can be made immaculate by rubbing
with a split lemon and afterwards with
little whiting on CLOTH Spots on
carpets or rugs should be busted with
fullers earth, and afterwards rubbed
with benzine.
A Delicious Dish
Casseroled kidneys make a very
good luncheon or supper dish. Slice
small onion and fry it in butter until
spoonful of chopped parsley and fry
the kidneys for several minutes. Add
a cupful of stock, a little sherry and
a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Season
with salt and tabasco sauce, cover
the casserole tightly and cook in q
very moderate oven for two hours
Mushrooms may be added if liked.
To Grow Old Gracefully
The companionship of the young is
Gf inestimable value in helping to
keep a young heart and an elastic
mind. The old are never too old to
learn something useful from the
young. Youth is infectious in its gayety,
responsibility, light-heartedness and
it's roseate outlook on the world. Tho
infection of youth is something well
worth catching. A mistake some elder
ly persons make, when their youthful
beauty has faded, but ripened into
autumnal maturity, is to withdraw
themselves from scenes of youth and
gayety and give themselves up to prof
tless regrets for the days that are
fled. These persons age rapidly, court
all the miseries of grabbed age and
shun the joys of growing old grace
fully.
