NNNNNNNNN-~~

Ia these days when many materials
are used in common by three different
generations of women, transfer or in
terchange Of garments is really very
easy matter. After all, the material
itself counts for far less in a gown
just now than does its correctness of
line and the individuality expressed in
its trimming, says the Delineator.
Is your skirt too short, after it is
ripped apart, cleansed and pressed, to
supply the long widths in the body Of
the coat? Do not worry. Just i'm
prove the whole thing by inserting
bands of cross-stitched or eyeIetted
white canvas at Intervals from the
yoke downward. Finish the bands at
the edges with narrow strap of cloth
or with rows Of silk braid to match
the coat material. Make the collar
and cuffs of the same canvas, embroid-
cred or eyeletteo like the bands, and
edge them with a close anticipating
of Valenciennes.
In every well managed household,
odds and ends, old and new, and of
varying worth, accumulate with remark
able rapidly. These are a veritable
gold mine to the woman who recog-
nizes their possibilities. And this gear
almost everything has unlimited posi-
bilities, if not in itself alone, then in
some original combination with some
thing else.
Scraps ef velvet brocade and span
gled net; the beaded grenadlne of a
generation ago; the suede tops of worn
out elbow gloves; any and every kind
and color Of lace, hand or machine
made, from the flimsiest net to the
heaviest Venetian or Irish, from rem
nants of aiiover to the narrowest edge
may be pressed into service
The foulards that some years ago
found an honored place in every femi-
nine wardrobe are with US once more
in dull and In satiny effects, and so
closely akin, in color and design, to
those Of long ago that mothers lucky
enough to have saved them may utilize
them to-day for their daughters.

Hosiery Hints.

Lacy socks are the dressiest.
They're of silk, with lace bands and
motifs.
They are worn In either black or
white.
Lovely effects are obtained with en-
broidery.
A fine silk stocking with embroidered
clocks is very correct.
You may have your monogram en-
broidered on the lnstep.
Changeable silk hose are beauties,
but costly.
Isle and silk imitation Of these is
less expensive and quite pretty.
Gray stockings In all shades are much
worn.
With gray skirt, gray hose are
thought all right, even with black ties.

To Clean Jewels.

A sharp-pointed implement should
never be employed to clean rings, as 1t
loosens the stones. Soak them in liquid
ammonia and the dirt will be loosened.
Afterward they should be polished with
a soft cloth 1t is a good plan to keep
rings in sawdust, as it enables the gems
to retain their brilliansy. Warm water
and little prepared chalk are all that
are required to clean plain or chased
rings.
Toilet articles, yinaigrettes and other
small trinkets may be easily frightened
without the use of powder by placing
them in an aluminium receptacle and
pouring boiling water over them. Pol
ishing should be done by means Of a
piece Of clean chamois leather, but in
adopting this treatment it must be re-
membered that the silver should never
be allowed to become furnished.

1T costs us good money to train a
girl as a clerk. She does not earn her
salary, no matter how small, for many
weeks and then very soon enters mat
rimony. A man sells more goods, gives
less trouble and works with more en-
thusiasm than a woman because he
knows that no one will come along to
lift him from behind the counter. He
must climb up for himself"

"Denatured women

No doubt such complaints have been
made, for there are inical women ev-

burden Of the attempt to block the
childish fun should he laid at the door

objects of unjust criticism. We should

HUGE FLEET IN REVIEW.
President Inspects Greatest Ameri-
Sea Force.

can Sea Force.
On the waters of Long Island Sound,
within view of Sagamore Iill, the Pres
ident of the United States on Monday
reviewed the greatest fleet OF Aneri-
can war ships ever assembled. There
was "A ship of war for every State,
forty five in all, ranging in size from
the magnificent .16.000-ton Louisiana,
just completed, to the feet little tor
pedo boat and the submarines and in
Guiding one troop ship and golfers. In
three columns there stretched along the
sound twelve battleships, four armored
cruisers, four protected cruisers, four
monitors, six destroyers, six torpedo
boats. three submarines, troop ship
and five auxiliaries.
In peace paint of spotless white,
wreathed in rainbows of flags. ship
rails manned "close aboard" the sp.en-
did fleet underwent the ceremony of in.
spection by the Presidnt.
As the Mayflower, on which Mr..
Roosevelt passed down the fighting line.
dropped her anchor at the head Of the
fleet on the completion of the review,
the President descended from the
bridge, his face wreathed in smiles, and
enthusiastically throwing his arms
around the shoulders of group of Sen
ators and Representatives, exclaimed :
ANY man who fails to be patriotical-
ly inspired by such sight as this is
a mighty poor American, and every
American who has seen it ought to be
a better American for it,"
The sentiment was echoed enthusi-
astically by the group around the Pres
ident.
And you, gentlemen" he said, adj
dressing the naval committee, ARE re-
SpOnsible for it, 1t is your handiwork
and it has all been done within the
last ten years. Every one Of these ships
is fighter and ready TO go into action
at moments notice. Again you have
shown your wisdom in the appropria-
tons for the target practice, for there
is where the American navy excels.
Our men can shoot. and shoot straight,
and therein lies our naval strength and
our superiority"
After the review President and Mrs.
! Roosevelt entertained Rear Admirals
Evans, Brownson and Davis and the
commanders of all the ships at a re-
ception and luncheon The President
and Secretary Bonaparte then paid Wis
its to the admirals ard to the troopship
Yankee just in with a detachment OF
marines from SantO Domingo. TO the
latter the President expressed graft
tude for the perfect manner in which
they had carried out delicate and
important mission, adding:
"We have grown to feel a certainty
that whenever the men of the American
army or navy are called upon for any
duty, no matter how difficult or how
irksome. or even how dangerous, they
are certain to perform it, not merely
with efficiency and courage. but with
a total absence of grumbling"

Baby's short Clothes.

make the neckbands of the little dresses
triffe larger than necessary, then
draw very narrow tape through. When
making the sleeves cut them a little
longer than needed and sew two hori-
Zontal tucks below the elbow. Baby

en- the tucks can be let out and the
tape is not drawn SO tight. In this
way the dresses will last much longer
without being outgrown.

New York is the greatest place in

Besides this. the people all over the

they do here.

United States. II is estimated that 50,-
900 strangers pass there every day, and

not say the numb mentioned was
too large.

welcome there.
Every place in New York too. is
different You take Fifth avenue and
you get there a respectful admiration
for your efforts in the makeup line. Men

at you, and often you will hear one
