FORWOMEN
WALKING skirts Short

The correct length for all the more
practical walking coats brings the tail
at the hip line or a little below; but
skirts to be worn with these, however,
are not correspondence obliging as to
length. The trottoir skirt, which
skipped the ground by a number of
inches, so fashionable in the summer.
Is now approved only for country use
The skirt for city wear is n bare inch
above the ground, or falls upon it all
round, height and slimness being the
things fashion demands and these
qualities are not easily obtained with
short skirts.
New Perfumes
Amorelle is a newly invented, deli
cate production of the blossom garden.
blend of bouquet specially contrived
to suit the taste for refined aroma,
says the London Express. Caronalys is
yet another, and Ideal Royal lily is a
third. Imperialists may well rejoice
in Ess Imperial, q distillation of sweet
ly scented blossoms culled in every
country over which the flag of Eng
land flies, and invalids will like to
know that for their special benefit a
particularly potent and refreshing
headache cologne. that will secure a
welcome refused to more cloying per-
fumes, is a product of today.
Concerning Gloves
Silk or cotton gloves should be mend
ed with fine silk as soon as a broken
stitch appears. Mend kid gloves with
cotton of the shade used in the seam

may be buttonhole stitches. the edges
Tapped and stitched, or sewed through
and through. Mend on right side. If a
hole is worn or pulled apart, do not
pull the edges together and spoil the
shape but work all around the edge
with one or more rows of buttonholing
joining the last rows with over and
over stitches.
Two Things at Once
A way is suggested to provide al
the table and at the same time bake
and serve hot gridde cakes. Get a
soapstone griddle to fit the top of your
chafing dish frame. Heat the griddle
thoroughly on the range then, when
ready to begin frying cakes, light your
alcohol lamp, place all in front of you
the batter in pretty bowl, and your
task will be transformed to a pleasure
A New Hatpin
A woman has come to the relief OF
other women by providing hatpir
that VIII not only really secure ones
headgear to ones head, but also will
not get lost by reason of falling out
of the hat at unexpected moments.
The new hat pin differs in only one
small particular from the old ones. Its
center is twisted in large spiral. like
the thread of a screw. After being in
serted in the usual way the pin re-

taking such hold of the hair that the
hat cannot DOSSiblV wObble
Musical Bracelets
The musical bracelet is an ingenious
device which has the charm of novelty
The mechanism is concealed inside the
land of gold, and when the lever is
pressed the bracelet gives forth its
tune. The idea is said to be the inven-
tion of a clever German mechanician
Musical watches, with a tiny carlton
are another version Of the new musical
jewelry.
