IMPORT ANT ECHOES FROM
THE WORLD OF FASHION
Dot and Ring Figures Popuar-Heavy Coarse
Linen Laces-Elbow Sleeve in Evidence

Nothing really new in linen has APP
peared so far this season: but the count
ers are piled with linens in all colorings
and all qualities, fine and coarse. smooth
or rough. Some of the smooth linens,
while firm, are remarkably soft and
flexible for heavy linen, and there are
beautiful embroidered linens IN this
same quality.
The dot and the ring figures did not
end their popularity last season, but are
conspicuous on all classes or goods. in
Guiding some particularly smart linens
in white, string color, and the soft dull
blues, greens and pinks have embroid-
cred on their surfaces groups OF two in
terlacing rings set at considerable in
tervals
The wafer detin heavy raised en-
broidery and seif-celor Is also IL evil
dence upon many OF the new linens, and
there are expensive linens, with little
openwo:k embroidery motifs or medal
lions scattered all over them, as well
as linens worked all over in the popular
broderie Anglaise, or with borders of
this embroidery.
1t seems probable that this broderie
Anglaise will be as popular for the trim
mings of linens as 1t was last year, and
already the manufacturers have turned
out beautiful robe patterns or shirt
waist suit patterns In linen and broderie
Anglaise Some of these patterns shown
have undoubtedly been kept over from
last year, but il they are adaptable to
the present frock lines, they are none
The worse for that; and some of the
patterns bear this years stamp in the
forms of the embroidery motifs.
There are many heavy coarse linen
laces slightly differing from those OF
last season, and the handsomest OF
them resemble the heavy modish Irish
crochet, in that certain parts OF their
designs stand out separately from the
main body of the lace. being attached
to II by little stems

TO HANG CLOTHES
In the Winter and Not Have Chapped
Hands and Frozen Linen.

During the winter season. when hang
ing out clothes is so difficult, try putting
a handful Of salt in the last rinsing
water, and the clothes will not freeze or
g. Sen until after they are hung on the
HIe; indeed, 1t is possible even to change
the position in a lineful Of clothes, il
necessary, before they freeze. and, best
Of all, If hung out in the sun they Will
have commenced to dry before the feez-
ing begins; this saves the wear and tear,
for nothing is so hard upon linen as this
freezing and Tapping in the wind. They
are also easier to remove from the line.
have a pair Of white gloves for hanging
out clothes, the white wool sort that are
worn SO much now, and these, with the
salt water rinsing, Will rob hanging out
clothes in winter of its terrors
Always hang table linen In good
shape, for 1t is almost impossible to
iron out wrinkles which dry in 1t. Hang
both tablecloths and sheets across the
line evenly, with the weight on the
warp threads, ends down, for the WARP
is stronger than the woof, and IL huns
habituaiiy lengthwfse the goods will
split across the folds. Iron down the
middle, folding them exactly opposite
from the way they hung on the line
and they will wear longer.
If clothes have become discolore6
through improper washing, try for e
few wash days the plan OF scaldine
them just before putting them into the
last rinse water This will whiten them
beautifully although 1t is more trouble
Never take the clothes from the line
damp and fold down to iron: let then
get quite dry, and then bring them in
folding them properly when they arr
taken from the line. as this will save
much ironing out of wrinkles.

HOME ITS PROBLEMS AND INTERESTS

That Trimming Is Coming in Vogue
Again Strongly.

A tremendous vogue has established
itself among fashionable women for the
revival of jet as an addition to teweled
dress accessories. In its new cuttings

many precious stones. its needle-like
points radiating myriad shimmers Of
light.
Belts, buckles, dog collars, neck

sidecombs are all developed in jet.
which for the moment has quite taken
the place of the long-popular tortoise
shell in the expensive fancies of miladi

bination with this black brilliant, and
give wonderfully stunning effects, while

cessories evolved from dull jet are ire
sistible.

couture THAI jet shows to best advan-

the couture. Tiaras, made up of seven

Artificial Fzouers

Fashion is responsible for many in
ventions. This is the case with the man
ufacture of artificial flowers, for their
demand was due to a caprice of fashion.
In Italy during festival time it was de-
creed that flowers should be worn In
and out of their season, and that their
color should be retained. Many plans
for solving the problem were brought
forward, and at last some one hit upon
the idea Of making them of various ma
terials which would resemble the real
flowers. Later, In the Middle Ages. the
artificial SO far superseded the natural
that both men and women decked their
heads with imitation flowers of cambria
glass, paper. wax. and metal. The most
beautiful artificial blossoms are made In
Paris, and their making is one of the
chief industries of that city.

A Word About the Broom

Never set it against the wall or stand
it In the corner-it spoils the shape
Put a cord in the handle and hang the
broom up
A broom is made to last longer if.
when new. it is STEPPED a few mo-
mentS in warm water.
Never put a broom away dusty.
Use one broom for sweeping carpets
and another for porches.
1t is literally true that a new broom
sweeps clean. If a new broom is ex-
anlired the ends of the straws will be
found to be straight and the brush
square. After it has been used a while
the ends spit and become sharp, and
the shape of the brush irregular To
renew the youth of the broom dip it in
hot soapsuds, and trim the softene6
straws 70 the proper shape.

A WARNING to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS a rule it is only
necessary to give the child dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder Of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the old fashioned castor oil, and
see that it is fresh, as rancid oil nau-
seates and has tendency to gripe. If
this does not check the bowels give
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and then dose Of castor
oil, and the disease may be checked in
its incipiency and all danger avoided.
The castor oil and this remedy should
be procured at once and kept ready for
instant use as soon as the first indication
of any bowel trouble appears. This is
the most successful treatment known
and may be relied upon with implicit
confidence even in cases of cholera
infantum. For sale by The Kaufman
