The regular spring and fall upheaval caused by the old ways in cleaning house is now modified in such degree that there need be very little disturbance in the usual ways of the household. More and more is houseceaning continued, never finished. The thorough monthly cleaning is bringing about the passing of spring and fall housekeeping, and well kept house is always clean like unto the peace and sweet odors of the first few days after the old semiannual disturbance. Whenever the family is going away, whether midwinter or July, then Is the time for scrub women, painters and deco rators. How much longer will women keep young. when they apply system and modern Improvements to their housekeep- ingl There are certain parts of the house which demand a special semi-aDnual treat ment, after the shut in months of winter and when the summer is over, to make all hygienically clean. In the fall. when winter clothing and house-draperies are brought out, sunshine and fresh air should be applied in liberal doses, after thorough cleaning from spots and dust. Upholstered chairs, rugs, ct cetera. can be vacuum

means serviceable. It must make at least four or nve trips to the cleaners in season for recurring, and besides this ex- pense one suffers the inconvenience of be- ing without 1t in It's absence.
 Dresr Sets for Evening Wear.
 Very chic evening dress sets, muff and neckpiece, shown in the high-class shops prove irresistible to many women, who if they but would or could make these novelties themselves would save at least half the price asked for the ready-ma article. Marabout in black and white and pastel tints in bands like the once fashionable swansdowne may be bought by the yard, and there is an endless va riety of beautiful nets, tulles, malinettes and chiffons with which to combine 1t, malinette especially being recommended because of its weather resisting qualities. The shaded marabout is very attractive, that which tones from a white to smoky brown at the tips being liked best, perhaps because 1t harmonizes well with every color and again because smoky brown is a very fashionable shade in dress goods and millinery this winter.
 The Fashionable Furs.
 In furs 1t would be difncult to say what Is the most fashionable. Caracul, broadtail, seal and such close haired belts are best in separate coats, and we shall see many garments of this nature when the wealth CT grows severe enough for their wear ing. The Imitation furs. fur fabrics they are called, are more than fashionable; they are the rage. Even women who can afford a new fur garment every year are having chic little separate coats of this fur fabric moulded along the latest French lines, which, by the way, are that of the dolman of twenty years ago. The new model is, of course, much more graceful than the old, for 1t Is cut more generously, but there are the same char acteristics-the uncomfortable sleeve and the pointed stole fronts--in the new as typined in the old. The new is very sug- gestive of the Japanese and the idea is 1, frequently accentuated by the use of Japanese trimmings, such as handsome embroidery bands in all the Oriental col brings which harmonize so well with the dark fabric.
 Ermine and . New Shade of Fox.
 Ermiue is always fashionable but It's prohibitive price restricts 1t to the ward robes of women of wealth. However, there are some very handsome sets of mink and brown fox which combine er- miue as a trimming. that are not overly high in price.
 In the soft fox furs there Is a new
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-12-15

shade known as Renard gris which when placed beside the blue fox has sug- gestion of green in its coloring. It is very beautiful and harmonizes better with the seasons dress fabrics than does the blue fox. All the long haired pelts are as usual made up into large pieces, long fiat stoles and huge pillow muffs. plain or trimmed with animal heads and long bushy tails One very beautiful style of neckpiece Is made of two belts, fox or sable, the heads In front and the tails, crossed over the shoulders in the back, depending to the waistline.
 Chlnchilla Is another of the fashionable lighter furs, and the handsomest pieces in this pelt are those of simplest design.
 Mink is very fashionable and likewise very seryiceabe. great many heads and tails are used in the making of smart muffs and neckpieces, and the shaping of many of the latter are decidedly new and original.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-12-15

in even the smallest articles means price more than prohibitive to the Amer lean woman of fashion. The nun of this set Is formed of three strips of ermine and four of mink. the ermine set with single tail in the centre of each strip. The neckpiece Is a round flat collar Of the mink with an inside roll of the er- mine, this latter pet forming a vest effect, the long stole ends of mink in- ished with tails and tiny paws. Where rhe stole ends and collar join there are little mink heads, one on each side, the noses pointing downward and the little ears standing up sharply.

cleaned in the house or sent out to be renovated, and should also be treated to a little sunshine and fresh afr before being replaced. If there is danger from the obstructive carpet bug, use corrosive sub Innate solution freely in cracks and cor ners. This Is a poisonous substance. so only q responsible person should use It. especially when there are children In the house, who might tamper with the bottle. The best place to keep poisons Is In the pharmacy itself, and then buy only In small quantities, for immediate use.
 Newspapers are good protection against moths; use folded papers on the shelves and in drawers. Packing boxes and trunks should be carefully lined with them. Don't forget to label the contents of each trunk. box or bag.

exactly like mans necktie, and the long slashed ends are trimmed with the tiny black tails and the white paws of the little animals, Twelve ermine skins make the muff which is in reality quite narrow, but made to look wide by the double fringe of tails and paws. Scarf and nun are both lined with white satin.
 Ruff and MuR for Evening Wear.
 An unusual combination of materials and one which Is very attractive Is that of net and marabout In evening access sories such as these. The ruff is three very full ruf1es of a closely spotted cream net, each rufie several inches wider than the other so that the lower one spreads well out over the shoulders. The ends are caught together in the front under rosettes of white satin faced velvet rib bon and the long ribbon ends depend well below the wearer's knees. With this neckpiece is a mur-a perfect pillow of net ruffies and marabout, which, by the way, is white shading to smoky brown color at the ends. On the front of the nun is a many iooped bow of the velvet ribbon, and the ruffies of net are given body by a lining of double ruffies of white chiffon. The set is worn with a princess jumper costume of black chiffon broadcloth with all over lace. guimpe and black velvet trimmings. The hat is a small shape of white lace trimmed with white ostrich and white roses with green foliage.
 Light and Dark Furs Combined In
 Dressy Sets.
 The combination of valuable furs In contrasting colors Is feature of the nov cities of the season. Ermine and sable, or ermine and mink are particularly at tractive. The latter is seen even more than the former, no doubt from the fact that sable is so very high priced and that a combination of ermine and sable

Accessories Should Har-' monize With Costumes The Costume Idea in Fashion This Season The Fashionable Os- trich and Marabout Furs and Fur Fabrics.

"It isn't my tailored suit nor my dressy season, but it is those accessories which one absolutely must hays-cannot do without-that is, if one expects to be fashionably gowned."
 Just a scrap of fashionable woman's conversation, but thought echoed in many feminine minds this season. Never before has woman's costuming depended so much upon accessories. and never have fashions rules regarding accessories been so stringent. To be up-to-the minute means that ones purse strings must be ever open, and to keep up the pace which the birth of novelties ever demands means an unlimited amount of money and no conscience as to its use.
 Costume Accessories.
 Fashion has issued her mandates that this is to be a costume season, that Is, a season wherein every article of the toll ette is to harmonize in every particular, a fact quite oyerpowering to the average woman whose pocketbook permits of no extravagances However, the woman who is clever in matters of dress will oyer come all obstacles by selecting her winter garments first and her accessories after wards. with the result that accessories however few will always be in harmony in both color and design with the cos. tune they attend.
 MarabOut and Ostrich Both Fash-
 ionable.
 No accessory to the winters wardrobe Is quite so important as the fur or feather set,-a smart neckpiece in one of the many new shapes and matching muff Where one cannot afford both furs and feathers, 1t might be wise to choose the feathers, especially the marabout, which is every bit as warm as any fur and without its weight; and is moreover fashionable pelts. A marabout set of scarf and nun may be bought for thirty dollars, but how often can a fur set Do purchased at the same price? Marabout is possible with the tailormade street suit or the evening costume; and another thing which makes 1t an economical in yestment is the fact that 1t can be worn fin summer as well as winter. The long fiat stoles, or scsrfs as they are more often called, are the best style of neck piece in marabout today, and the same may be said of ostrich. Ostrich has not been so fashionable in years as 1t is this season. but even fashions stamp upon 1t will not make 1t as fashionable as mara bout, for the reason that it is not by any
