CONCERNING GLOVES.
A Pretty Design for Evening Glove,
Afternoon and Evening Lengths
White Ones in Fashion.

A PRETTY DESIGN.-One of the
prettiest styles of elbow-gloves yet
shown is delicately shaded at the top
an almost imperceptible mauve, with a
slightly-embossed and indefinitely
traced pattern upon it of lilies of the
valley or ivy leaves. Bas-relief pat
terms of the same indefinite and pic
turesque nature appear on the upper
arm OF white gloves, shaded a faint
shell-pink or faint sea-green.
STYLES TO WEAR.-Except for
mourning wear, white gloves are worn
upon all smart occasions. For even
ing wear the glove must rise beyond
the elbow and meet the short evening
sleeve more than halfway up to the
shoulder. For day wear the gloves are
slightly shorter, and need not rise
higher than the elbow, for, although
day gowns are worn with short sleeves
this season, they are of necessity long
or than those worn in the evening.
CLEANING WHITE KID.-You can
clean white kid gloves at home by THIS
nrocess: Place the glove in a small
basin. and pour over just enough ben
zoline to cover, set a plate over the
basin, so as to prevent the spirit evap-
Grating, and let the glove soak for five
minutes. Have a thick cloth ready on
the table and a piece of clean flannel
take the glove out of the basin, let II
drip a little, set ii on the cloth, and
wipe Il with the flannel, changing the
surface constantly as It is soiled. The
glove must not be rubbed too hard OF
the surface will be spoiled. When the
glove is quite clean, blow into IT tc
initiate It and hang in the shade in q
draught.

FASHIONABLE EYEBROWS.
To-Dsy Liking Is for Delicately PEN
ciled Brows Rather Than Heavy
Ones of Former Days.

Fashions in eyebrows change and
brow of yesterday The latest brow
is delicate and slightly uplifted. There
is in it the almost querulous express
sion which one notes in the portraits
of the oldtime beauties.
The worst eyebrows in the world
from the standpoint of beauty are the
heavy furry eyebrows. Yet there was
time when even these were consid-
cred pretty.
When queens reigned in Russia the
big black eyebrow was the thing, and
the beauties of those days used to pen.
ell the brows heavily TO make them
dark and threatening. In those days it
was considered a mark of aristocracy
to have a heavy line running across
the forehead-a heavy black furry line.
Until very lately women penciled
their brows, and the eyebrow pencil
is, Of course, necessity on the stage.
In private life it is considered objec-
tionable.
Nowadays a woman's eyebrows
should be natural. They must be
slightly curved, soft and fine, and the
hair must be lustrous and satiny. They
must not be too long nor must they be
rough.
There is a beauty doctor in London
who works upon the eyebrows with
out the electric needle. IL they are too
heavy or too long, too bushy over the
eyes, or struggling, he pulls out the
hairs with tweeZers and Immediately
paints the spot with weak ammonia.
1t must be done carefully, because am
monia kills the hair.
Here are the latest eyebrow rules:
The eyebrows should be lifted as high
as possible without wrinkling the fore
head.
The brows should be slightly darker
than the hair, but should not be pen
ciled. 1t is allowable to stain them
but never to use the pencil.
Knitting the brows should be avoid.
ed; it is unbecoming, it makes the
brows look heavy and ugly, and II
makes wrinkles between the eyes and
over the nose.

HOSTESS.
SOME SUGGESTIONS THAT MAY
PROVE OF HELP.
The First Year Comes the Cotton
Wedding-May Be Made a Gay
Affair-Some Astrologi-
cal Lore.
The Cotton" Wedding.

One year of welded life brings the
Cotton" anniversary, and it may
be made a most attractive affair. So
soon after the original ceremony it will
probably not be a difficult matter. to
arrange for a reunion of the bridal
party, and this alone will make the
occasion a memorable one. Send the
invitations on squares of fine cotton
cloth written with indelible ink.
Decorate the rooms with vines, plants
and branches. Over these put a guam
tity of fluffy cotton fakes. Portieres
and window drapes are effective made
from strips of white cotton. If cards
are to be the amusement, Hearts lis
good game, and there are so many
articles in the shape of hearts which
will make appropriate souvenirs and
prizes. The dining-room table may be
covered with thin layers of cotton in
stead of a linen cover. At each place
put a cotton SNOWFALL tied with ribbon,
the name card tucked under the bow.
Inside the ball put a tiny souvenir.
The center-piece should be jardiniere
D
the kind of flowers that were used at
the event Of a year ago.
There should be a wedding cake con-
tanning a ring, piece Of money and a
thimble; all young people know the
meaning of these symbols, and there
will be a jolly time when the bride
cuts the cake. Have the ice cream
frozen in balls, tied with ribbons of
spun sugar candy of the color used at
the original wedding supper.
The gifts to be given the happy pair
are, of course, limited to articles made
from cotton. One little bride of year
rejoiced in a generous cotton crepe
kimona and the groom in a pair of pa
jamas. These were given by the bridal
party and were sent in a huge pack
/ ing box which was delivered during
the party. Opening this box caused
much merriment, as on each successive
wrapping there was written a clever
little rhyme.

INCLINED TO FREcKLE.
Victim Can Only Hope to Keep Them
Faded and She Should Take
Careful Precautions.

The best the girl with freckles can
hope to do is to keep them faded,
that they do not show so much; she
cannot remove them; If she take the
skin off the new skin is soon very
much worse than the old, being so ten
der that it is the more easily affected
by the rays of light.
A very present help in keeping
freckles faded out is to always wear a
yellow veil; there is something in the
chemical change in the rays passing
through the yellow chiffon that keepg
them from affecting the cuticle. And
another help is to plaster her face
with cold cream and powder beneath
the veil when going into the light and
heat out of doors in summer.
Then she should not wash with soap
but use the bran bags and almond meal
instead. She should avoid the direct
rays OF the sun and also not go into a
strong wind without protecting the
skin, and she will find 1t better to
wear a sunbonnet or a poke" bon
net, with a veil closely tied down
when out of doors.

HARD LESSON IN SPELLING
Exercise in Dictation Submitted to
London School Is Some
what Difficult.

Students in a London school were
recently asked to write this from die
tation: "A gluttonous sibyl with her
glutinous hand complacently seized a
sieve, a phthiscal ichneumon, a no
ticeable supercilious irascible and Gym
ical sergeant, an embarrassed and ha-
raised chrysalis, a shrieking sheik, a
complaisant proselyte and an anony-
nous chroysolite. These all suddenly
disappeared down her receptive ESQ
phagus. She simply said: Pugh! not
saccharine!
"She then transferred a billion OF
bilious mosquitoes, an unstable bou-
quet of fuchsias, lilies, dahIias, hya-
cinths and phlox, liquefied bdel ium,
an indelible defamatory infiammatory
synchronism and debatable syllogism
to the same capacious receptacle.
Peacefully surrendering her daguer-
reotype to the ecstatic aeronaut, she
descended with her parachute
synonym for barouche-and griev-
ously terrified the stolid, squalid yeo-
many already torrefied by the heat

TONIC TREATMENT
Weak Stomach and Sick Headache

The symptoms of stomach trouble
vary. Some victims have a ravenous
appetite, others loathe the sight of food.
Often there is feeling as of weight on
the chest, a full feeling i'll the throat.
Sometimes the gas presses OH the heart

heart disease. Sick headache is fire.

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for Time.

It's easy TO understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
II had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe it was
injuring me although | had palpita-
ton of the heart every day.
Finally one day a severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and | gave up both
tea and coffee, using Postum instead
and since that time l have had alb
solutely no heart palpitation except
on one or two occasions when tried
small quantity of coffee which
caused severe irritation and proved
to me l must let it alone.
when we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to direc-
tions-but now we put a little bit of
butter in the pot when boiling and
allow the Postum TO boil full 10 min
utes which gives it the proper rich
flavor and the deep brown color.
Il have advised a great many of
my friends and patients TO leave off
coffee and drink Postum, in fact |
daily give this advice" Name given

Your Fortune in Each Month.


Here is a bit of astrological lore
which may be of use to a hostess in
amusing a crowd of young people. Ask
the birth month of each; the following
little table gives the answers. The en-
tertaining feature of these so-called
fortunes is in how far they generally
are from the real characteristics of the
person whom they are supposed to por-
tray.
January-A maiden born in this
month will be a prudent housekeeper,
good tempered, but inclined to be mel
ancholy.
February-Humane and affectionate;
a tender parent.
Marcia chatter box, tickle, stormy
and of a quarrelsome nature.
April-Pretty, dainty, inconsistent
and not studious.
May-Handsome in person, content
ed and happy in spirit.
June-Gay, impetuous and will
marry early.
July-Fair to look on, but sulky in
temper and jealous.
August-Amiable, practical and will
make wealthy marriage.
Observation-Disclosures, affable and a
favorite with every one.
October - Pretty, coquettish and
oftentimes unhappy without a cause.
November-Liberal. kind and pleas.
ant and thoughtful of others.
December-Well proportional, gay
fond of novelty and inclined to be ex-
travagant.
