FORWOMEN
Pockets Must Be Worn

A noted fashion authority has de-
creed that pockets should be worn. 1t
is true that every woman envies man
his luxurious accommodations in this
line. Pockets may be conveniently
tucked away in almost any gown, and
patterns are now being drawn that pro-
vide for this welcome idea.
Women Sit Too Much
Women as a rule do not lie down as
much as they should. Men have
clear idea of comfort and take it when
ever they find the opportunity. They
gravitate naturally to couches and
avoid resting their feet upon the floor
when that is possible. Women sit too
much for their own good and become
settled and heavy in figure. Reclining
has the opposite effect, and one claim
made for the habit of sleeping upon
the face is the improvement 1t makes in
the figure-1attening the back, for one
thing. 1t may flatten the bust, too, in
which case stout women would find it
a blessing.
Those Wide Skirts
The skirts are to continue very wide
at bottom and to be fitted with clinging
closeness around the hips, all authors
ties are agreed, but one cannot tell
just what is to be the fate of the killed
and other skirts plated into the waist
ASSuTGuly lliSy dIG uSlllSI SO
new nor so smart as the gored and
circular skirts, fitting smoothly over
the hips with little if any plating or
shirring, but attaining wide, ripping
fullness at bottom.
As to Finger Bowls
At your dinner party don't forget that
the finger bowls should be only one
half filled with water, and have some
small flower floating on top, or even a
geranium leaf, If you can find nothing
else; they can be filed with water and
stood on the sideboard throughout the
meal.
Soups From Fruits
Here are a few recipes for fruit
soups: Lemon-Make a strong lemon
ade, thicken with arrowroot, served
chilled with bit of candied lemon peel
or candied ginger in each glass;
Marquise-Take two parts of red
raspberry juice and one of currant
sweeten, thicken with arrowroot and
sago; candied orange peel or blanched
and shredded almonds are a dainty ad-
dition.
rawberry-Thicken fresh strawber-
ry juice with arrowroot and put on
ice to chill; put layer of Clipped ice
on top of each cup before serving and
lay a ripe strawberry, stem and all, on
top of each glass.
Cleaning Oil Paintings
In cleaning oil paintings soap should
not be used, as it mixes with the oil in
paint and is apt to make the colors
fade. The best way is to wash the
painting gently with clear water, using
a soft cloth, and then, after it has
dried, to rub it with a clean cloth, mois-
tened with fresh olive oil. The oil will
remove some accumulations from the
picture that the water has softened and
it contains nothing to fade the colors.
The Wine Stein
The very newest thing in sideboard
furnishings, so new that it is yet be-
ing sold from sample, is the wine stein.
1t is about 16 inches in height, and
very slender, tapering toward the top,
where it measures only four or five
inches in diameter. 1t is of copper,
brass trimmed, with design Of grapes
nodded on the side in relief. Inside ii
is lined with shining white metal that
makes one think of pewter. 1t has
gracefully-curved handle and DOME
shaped lid, also decorated with de-
sign in relief. 1t is decidedly ornamen-
tai even if one prefers to decant ones
wines in the usual way.
Bonbon Receptacles
Bonbon receptacles may be easily
made from large goose eggs by punctur-
ing the shells at the small end. Then
slice the top off about half an inch and
turn out the yolks and whites. Glue the
shell to green cardboard four inches
square on which print in yellow and
silver an appropriate couplet. Paint the
outside shell with silver and decorate 1t
with sprays of forget-me-nots; the in
side may be tinted delicately with
coating of pale blue paint Just before
arranging the shells on the table fill
them with assorted sweets.
