FORWOMEN
A Notable Costume

| New York correspondent writing
Of the gowns seen at the recent horse
show says; "A striking gray velvet
dress had a princess skirt with a high
corselet waist. Two shirred bretelles
on each shoulder held the gown over
its underwaist Of transparent lace. The
sleeves were full puffs OF velvet to the
| elbow, where full ruffles Of lace fell
below shirred bands. When the wearer
rose to go she slipped on a picturesque
| little eton coat, trimmed with shirred
bands which extended below the Jacket
In little tabs I'm front. The hat worn
exactly matched the gown in color. II
was large cavalier shape of velvet,
tilted from the back. Around the
crown was a wreath-like arrangement
VT white ostrich feathers, tipped with
palest blue. Two full plumes trimmed
| the side Of the hat and more feathers
filled IN the space created by the back
elevation"
Bracelets Of Glass
The latest little piece OF jewelry. II
| by that term 1t may he dignifed, is II
bracelet made of glass. II comes from
Egypt, and is exactly like the bracelets
worn by many OF the native women
| there.
The bracelets are made Of plain glass
rounded and sufficiently large to be
|
colors. In Egypt a woman when she
marres Is given bracelet. and each
child born Is the occasion Of another
bracelet being added to the rest.
Decorative Buttons
Some of the decorative buttons are
very effective. One recently noticed
had circle of silk cut good deal
larger than the size of the foundation.
A mol
| in circle close to the center and drawn
up snugly; the outer edge of the silk
circle was then gathered and drawn
up and caught on the under side. maxi
ing full gathered cover for the but
ton with a smart little rosette in the
center.
Waist FIanneIs
The new waist fannels are very beau
| tiful. Checks Roman stripes and tar
tans make UP the bulk of them, and
the colors are bright and clear, with
out being overbrilliant. School girls
will wear flannel waists a great deal
this winter. and older women will find
them most convenient for morning
wear. They are made on the simplest
models, favorite one being akin to
the riding skirt, with a small pocket on
the left side.

Make p batter of two eggs beaten
very light, one cup of milk, one cup
of flour. one teaspoonful of baking
powder and one teaspoonful of butter
melted. Have ready tart apples cut
in quarters. If the eggs are large add
more flour, as the batter must be quite
stiff to cling to the apples. Dust the
apples with sugar dip in butter and
drop in hot fat. Serve sprinkled with
powdered sugar.
Improved Bread Toaster
Yet another bread toaster has been
devised for use on a gas stove or range.
1t is an asbestos mat faced on one side
with wire netting and provided with
an iron handle. The bread is laid on
the wire side of the toaster, and the
asbestos mat underneath absorbs and
distributes the heat of the gas, so that
the bread browns evenly and without
scorching.
Household Hints
To clean nickel or silver ornaments
Din piece of flannel in ammonia and
with this rub the article, which will
soon be beautifully clean and bright.
Dirty marks on wall papers may be
removed by rubbing them with stale
bread. Cut a thick slice of bread and
rub the paper downward as evenly as
possible.
After washing and drying black cot
ton stockings smooth them out well with
the hands, for the frequent use of hot
iron makes them fade and become
