How to Treat Gloves.

This is the proper way to treat a
glove: When you spy tiny hole mend
it without delay, that it may not in
crease in size. Mend it on the inside
of the glove with fine cotton of the
same color as the kid. Do not use silk,
for it soon wears out.
Never break off your cotton, but cut
it, so as not to draw your stitches too
tightly and make the seam hard and
uneven. When sewing a split in a
finger seam insert finger into the
glove and draw the edges together so
that they meet and that is all: ridge
would not only be uncomfortable, but
would look unsightly.
When glove is too small and Sits ii
is worse than useless to sew up the
rent; it must be patched. The patch
must be of kid of the same color

Earrings Again In Vogue.

Earrings are creeping into favor
again, and for morning wear, too, II
one may judge by the lavish display
made Of them at q recent morning con
cert. In a box sat a woman whose
ears were bedecked with pair of un-
matched stones-one a black pearl
the other white one of equal size
There may have been some subtle
symbolism attached to the wearing
of the oddities. The revival of the
earring is recent in the country. but
it started about four years ago in Eng.

recrudescence of the barbaric custom.

Tho Age Of AdYertlsIng.

This is undoubtedly the age of ad-
vertislng, and that it has been brought
about by printing is an undisputed
fact. Printing has created the field
and this in turn has created the fa-
cilitles to handle it in vast quantities.
1t would not have been possible in any
other age of the worlds history, be-
cause steam and electricity come in
for their part. BY these means dis
tance is annihilated and all communi-
ties are brought into closer contact.
The printing press brings people of the
country towns into the same COM
munity of thought and their require
ments are made identical with those
living in large cities, and busiIi and
are built up by advertising that a sh M
time since would have been impG
sible. Catalogues by the million are
now sent into the remotest parts of
the country and almost over the
whole world, offering all kinds Of
goods and merchandise, so that scarce
ly any one, no matter how far his
residence may be removed from the
cities, is left in Ignorance OF what is
going on in the commercial world.
Then there is the newspaper and
magazine which bring almost as much
information through their advertising
columns rs enlightenment in their ar
ticles. That this is true, one has only
to contrast the difference between the
cities and the country towns Of twenty
years ago with the same places to-day.
The people are better dressed, their
homes present a much different ap-
pearance and they have much the
same characteristics as those found in
the cities. This has been brought
about by advertising and through the
power of the printing press. 1t is the
printing press that levels mankind,
bringing them all to a higher plane
and one OF more intellectual equality.

Moral training begins the first year
of the child's life. AS he absorbs the
home atmosphere, it should be health
full and clean in appearance and prac-
tice. Love the child. study the child.
Speak, act and be living example to
him. See that his associates. the COM
pany you entertain, the literature in
your home, do not antagonze your
teaching, but Is rather supplementary
to it. The child should live where the
stamina of fields and forests. hills or
prairies may put iron and staying pow
er in his blood to circulate in his
veins. Let the home be as attractive
as possible wherein he is a factor
where there is room for his belongings;
a place for work, study, rest and recre-
alton; where his condolences are sa-
cred, and his friends welcome; where
he is always sure Of sympathy, dearth
of blame, and praise when due. Have
him see that earth's royalty are those
who lave made the world better by
taking upon themselves York and per-
sonal responsibility, and that happi-
ness comes only through purity of life
and an approving conscience. Teach
in every way that innocence because
of ignorance of evil is weakness, but
that innocence because of knowledge
is strength in armor. Never attempt
to break his will, but acquaint him
with justice and self control, thus
helping him to retain his individual

The tendency to make all gowns
with long skirts is plain.
A cloth gown for the street had a
box-pleated skirt trimmed with two
groups of narrow crepe folds above the
hem.
Young women in mourning do not
wear bonnets. Simple toques and tur-
bans, and even wide hats are perfectly
good form.
Judging as nearly as one may from
between-season styles, the walking
length skirt is an established institu-
tion for walking gowns.

Art of DreHsIng.

ut isn't a woman's clothes that
make her smart, it is the way she
wears Them" declared one of the
most fashionable dressmakers in New
York recently. 'If she knows how
she can take the simplest gown from
a nondescrlpt dressmaker and it will
look as though it were just over from
Paris. On the other hand, If she
doesn't know Felix himself can't make
her look we'll" says Margaret Mixter,
in the New York Telegram.
That is so true that every woman
ought to study the art of dressing
quite MS much as that of piano playing
or any other accomplishment. 1t can
be achieved by any one who is willing
TO pay attention to details, and it is
this which Is the secret of French
women's "air." No detail is ever
neglected and the whole is perfect.
The most essential thing. without
which gown becomes as a bag, is to
hold ones self correctly. This means
straight, with the abdomen drawn in
and the shoulders well squared; then
you have good form for the gown.
Next to that, 1t must be remembered
that all garments worn under q gown
must fit and be In their proper place.
Otherwise there are punches that de-
stroy effect and humps where all
should be smooth.

Wings Fashionable.

small maline hats, as well as
many Of the advance models, show
wings and wings, enough to convince
any one of their vogue. Another indi-
cation is that the hat tipped forward
over the face is to be a great favorite.
A well-known correspondent writes to
the Millinery Trade Review: "Of course
it depends on the style or shape
whether it actually overshadows the
brow or not, but the setting forward
Is universal, even for hats turned
back in front. The new small, round
toque is perched right in front at an
angle of forty-five degrees with the
forehead. TO keep in this position the
hair must be arranged rather high on
the top Of the head"

Picturesque Designs.

From Harper's Bazaar it is learned
that the first impression obtained from
the bewildering mass of color, material
and design, is that of the so-called
picturesque. Wide skirts suggesting
crinoline, full sleeves finished with
rufiles and pleatlngs, small waists and
long shoulder seams are combined with
colors and materials that seem to have
no rhyme or reason.

and wide belt, is thought very smart.
