RenoXatinQ Hints.

On many of the dresses young girls
are wearing bit of gold and silver
in the form of braid and buttons. This
furnishes almost imperceptibly, dull.
ing the dress by the utter absence of
the sparkle you depended upon to
liven its otherwise rather somber eff
feet. Fresh gold braid is trying to Il
half-worn dress, but gay little braids
come which work wonders in the way
OF renovating. Narrow red soutache
may be used in place of gilt on those
attractive little dresses of dark, rich
plaids; or the narrow fiat silk brads,
in tiny, gay French rlaids, brighten
up plain color.

straight sides and square corners,
lowed by three or four vessels with
gigantic cables so long that there ap-
pears to be no connection between the
tugs and the dock-that's the way the
Dewey will look to the ships that en-
counter her on the high seas. In the
construction of this strange craft H.
300 tons of steel, 100000 rivets and
100 tons of paint were used. The cost
was $3.50, 900, and she is not only the
biggest floating drydock in the world,
but so big that the largest and heav-
lest warship in existence could be
placed ir her and lifted high and dry
above the water. The capacity of the
Dewey is 10000 tons. but the largest
warship yet projected is only $4,000

Ermine and Mink,

Ermine and mink form charming
combination. In basque jacket Of
carefully matched mink skins, ermine
faces the long revefs and collar which
finish the loose front seams, while a
narrow band Of mink is applied at the
very edge. A very wide band Of mink
with rounding ends shapes the cuff of

together by gilt filigree button. The
accompanying muff Is a small round
affair, completely hidden beneath

Cleaning soiled White Felt Hats.


White felt hats have such a lis.
tressing way of showing soil thai 1t
is a good plan to keep the right sort
of cleaning materials about. Dry
cleaning (or almost dry) is alw :ys
best: there's no telling, with liqu Is,
how far the soil may be spread, er-
haps making an ugly little ring aroI nd

To Curl Ostrich PIumes.

When an ostrich plume gets straight
and stringy-in pursuance of their de-

restore the curl by knife or scissors
or any sharp edged instrument. These
cut the fbers and leave your lap be-
strewn with particles Of the plume
Let the implement be smooth and
blunt along the edges-an ivory pa
per knife is very good. The task is u
little more tedious by this method.

Lace Lappets.

Instead of cascade of lace draper

has taken it into her head to put lacn
lappets on her hats. Two plain barb:'
of lace fall from the back Of the hat
and these are brought over the Shout

or are crossed with a pretty pin. This
revival of the lace lappets of our

Besides adjusting the seats In the
school rooms at just the right angle

personal habits which will lead. to a
spotless condition generally. It is

Wash the hands and face often.
The likelihood of taking commune
cable disease is lessened thereby.
Keep the fingers out of the nose.
