CARE OF LITTLE THINGS.

Exetravaeance rules in matters Of
feminine clothing as it has never
ruled before, and it behoOves every
Girl and matron to take mighty good
care of her wardrobe A stitch in
time not cnly saves nine stitches but
is frequently the means of saving an
entire gown.
BY taking care of ones gloves, by
carefully folding ones wells, by keep
ing ones hats in boxes rather than
lhrnwn abaEt u, closet :he.ves much
can be done toward preserving the
freshness and crispness of these nee
essary things. A bandbox for every
hat should be provided, even if closet
space is at a premium and the boxes
must be poked under the bed or lounge
to be out of the way.
The use of a poarasol in summer
will do much toward keeping a hat
from fading, while a chif-
fon veil thrown over ones
"bunnit'' will always hep, es-
pecially in bad, moist weather or
when dust is blowing. A hat brush
should be we'll worked, and not allow
ed to lie idle upon ones dresser. Dust
is a high handed tyrant. who spoils
many a pretty fixing, and it is al.
wavs the wise thing to be ever after
him-especially if you happen to be a
woman of limited means.
When taking off your gloves, fold
them back over the hands and turn
wrong side out as the fingers are slip
ped out. The very worst thing in the
world for glove is to pull it off by
the finger ends. The ends receive
hardest wear and this pulling not or.
ly breaks the stitches but draws the
gloves cut of shape.
The very careful woman has in her
top dresser drawer a little oblong
glove box. or else she has large
sheet of tissue paper or bit of linen
in which her gloves are laid. White
gloves must, each single pair, be care
fully placed between tissue paper.
Careful laundering will keep white
gloves nice for long, long time. Some
women put on these gloves and scrub
them with soap and water and a nail
brush, but this treatment is rather Sc
we're and not as good as merely rub
hing the gloves between the hands AMI
6 pplying sOapsuds a-plenty. Kid
gloves are most absurd for warm
weather, except on most extreme
dress-up occasions. Even then the
very thin. sheer, lovely white silk
gloves or embroidered m:tts are to be
preferred.
Never leave your veil tied about
your hat, for it will become limpy
and manageable, and soon proves
useless.
Shake out your veil nicely, take j
at either corner of the end and fold
his in big sheet of tissue pap +
the same as your gloves.
Wells can be mended by raveling out
a thread of the mesh ard usins this
after the same matter OF the pattern
0ployed. Many veil can be made
o de service during bad weather even
f it has suffered few unhappy tears
and rips.
White chiffon wells can be washed
over and over again. Merely make
live, hot suds with a good soap, and
launder the veil as You would a bit
q lace or fine fabric. Rinse careful
ly. dry and go over with a moderately
warm flatiron.
Little neck ribbons can often be
freshened by dipping in gasoline.
About the most desirable way of clean.
ing little knick-knacks of silk is to
place them in glass jar which has
been filled with gasoline and allow
them to stand over night. In the morn
ing rinse in fresh gasoline. shake out
= ith &c finger tips and then
with a f1atiron.
Silk or satin bets can be renoyate !
