Mohair is expected to take on a new
lease of life and will be shown not only
In the plain series, but In a number OF
fancy designs, not emitting the blue and
dots.
Silks are advancing so rapidly in price
that they bid fair to be noted among the
Injuries for the coming season, and yet
there is promised a return OF the separate
silk skirt. both in black and color and
a positive rage for the silk tailored suit.
The black skirt is coming back to its
own. in wolfe. cloth and all of the nets,
which will be welcome news to those who
cling tenaciously to the separate blouse
for of course, IL presages a reincarnaton
Of that. These separate skirts are to be
fashioned chiefly on plated lines, with the
kilt the most popular.
One very strong feature OF the wash
gowns Will be the contrasting Of trimmings
with the material. For instance, white
frocks, even those for very dressy occa>
sions, Will have bands or medalllons Of
lace either entirely colored or picked out
in colors: and, vice versa, colored frocks

Novelty, according to all forecastings.

Although the fabrics may not differ greatly
from those of last season. they may be
put TO novel uses and combinations. For
example, stripes which are promised as
prominent features will be trimmed with
bias bands, diagonal stripes with straight
bands and bias stripes with vertical bands.
Materials which show unassuming patterns
VIII De combined win trimmings strongly
contrasting.
For walking costumes OF the semi-tailor-
ing order there is a new garment Of the
redingote type which reaches the three

back waist line, is slashed at either side
of the shoulder, forming a sleeve cap, and
ends In hchu-fashion just below the bust

the usual formality and presented itself
Samplers are treasured as heirlooms in
many families nowadays and the problem
of their preservation is sometimes a diff
cult one TO solve The wool cross stitch
makes dainty morsel for moths, but If
laid away in camphor balls the samplers
beauty is wasted on the desert air.
One woman recently had a sampler
framed exactly as one would a picture.
For 1t she selected a convex mahogany
moulding about three and half inches in
width which harmonized most happily
with the needlework and canvas. 1t now
ornaments the wall of her library and is
an inspiration to many other women with
similar relies.
1t is not always easy to secure ma
terial for portieres that is at once pretty
and inexpensive. One woman who has
been searching the town over for a fabric
combining the two qualities was almost
in despair when a friend. decorator, sug-
gested that she get mocha canvas for her

much softer and hangs much more grace

very wide The velveteen, which Is also
double width, can be obtained in a number
of soft colorings and while handsome is

thing else in the room 1t Is especially
effective with mahogany or dark oak and
with Circassian walnut.

A woman who has had the good fortune
TO retain two servants in her family, one
for twenty-six and the other for nineteen
years, was asked recently. in the presence
OF her husband, what was the secret of her
success. While she was Eliminating on
the question. her husband answered for
her:
That's easy" remarked the mere man.
'"Au that is necessary is TO let the servants
run you as they have done my wife and
you will have no difficulty in keeping them
forever. There's no trick about that"

Artificial grapes played an important part
in an effective scheme of table decoration
recently seen. The entire chandelier was
prettily festooned with the vines from

gates open and shut all his life, but when

you must manage more sparlngly for
meat for the rest of the week. Think
how much better that is than IL you went
on buying haphazardly, and at the end
of the week found you had spent twice as
much as you ought to on meat.
Or, again, If you find that you spend
more than you had allowed for one thing,
you must save the money on another.
Suppose, for instance, you spend more
than usual on vegetables and meat one
day; you must arrange to do without
dessert or get something very cheap in
deed for the next days dinner.
No scheme of expenditure can be prop
srly carried out unless you keep strict ac-
count OF how every penny goes. 1t is a
good thing to have little pocket account
book and enter every item in 1t in pencil
II you prefer 1t, and then at the end of
the week enter the various totals in a
larger book-butter so much, bread so
much. milk, etc.
A young wife should try and be very
careful and accurate about keeping her ac-
counts, and should make a point of going
through them with her hsuband every
week, asking his advice in any difficulty.
Another thing which helps is careful
buying II is much cheaper and better to
buy things at a, good store than from peo-
pie who call at the door You invariably
get better value and Just what you want
If you choose things yourself.
Always your own meat cut off and
take care that lot of useless fat and
gristle is not weighed out with it.
1t is a wise plan when settling In a fresh
neighborhood to deal at first with several
stores Of the same kind, and note down
and compare on a bit of paper the prices
and qualities of the goods you buy, so that
you find out where you get the best value
for your money. Never on any account
sacrifice fine quality to cheapness. It is
false economy to buy bad, cheap food and
then have a doctors bill to pay.
1t is also a great waste of good meat to
boil and roast it, Every young wife should
invest in two brown earthenware jars with
lids. One should be kept for cooking fish,
the other for meat, as all food cooked in
this way preserves the juices and is much
more nourishing.

wife should put ali the odds and ends of
meat, etc, and an occasional few cents
