ABOUT ECONOMY IN DRESS.
Primarily Prudence Must Be at the
Bottom Of 1t.

There is something anterior to the
cutting and making of dresses at
home Gan accepted, but not always
successful form of economy; some
thing anterior to the remodeling of
last years gowns, and to the study of
the care of clothing, important though
all these may be. It has to do with
the practical understanding of econo-
my itself. It is matter of the head
rather than of the hand In it's rela-
ton to dress economy it isn't skimp-
ing on material; it isn't making this
or that old thing do; nor is it living in
bargain bought shoddies or misfits
and so being more or less apologize
for ones appearance. and inwardly
saddened over it, even while bending
in spirit of resignation under the
weight of work which certain econom-
ical sewing methods often involve.
Economy in dressing, primarily, is
prudence, says writer in the special
Autumn Fashion number Of Harper's
Bazaar. 1t is alert, prudent buying,
and careful planning both of which
presuppOse an acquaintance with cur
rent prices of dress materials. This
acquaintance is an essential to eco
nomlcal dressing, whether the econo-
my to be practiced is one of calicoes
or of silk. It is necessary that, the

FEMININE EANCZES

Any stain can be removed if rubbed
out at once with mixture of equal
parts of ammonia, alcohol and water.

brushed and dried, lay it on the press

goods, which has been previously
dampened, and then press.
To remove dust from silk skirts, do
not use brush, but wipe them with a
piece of velveteen, which will not
wear the silk and will remove the
dust very much more satisfactorily
than brush.
Silk or ruff1ed skirts should be fit
ted out with tapes sewn on the lower
rufaes, by which they may be hung
upside down. This prevents the skirt
from sagging and the ruffles from
dropping.
Gowns of delicate material should
be put away in long boxes or drawers,
each skirt being folded in pleats, into
which it should fall when being worn
The bodices should be stuffed with
tissue paper, also the sleeves and
trimmings filled out with the paper.
Wash frocks should always be put
away in trunks, boxes or drawers,
whether they have been worn or not,
for in hanging they grow stringy, are
more easily affected by dampness, and
lose their freshness before they are
worn.

DRAPING A SMALL WINDOW.
With a Little Care 1t Can Be Made to
Look Much Larger.

BY the use of draperies in cretonne,
silk, or any preferred material, a
small window can be so treated that
it can be made to look very much
larger, the result being an immense
Improvement to the room. For fall
and winter use room always looks
much more coy and habitable when
draperies in some artistic material
are used at the windows, and when
the window is a small, narrow one, if

courses from morning till night, get
ting in the way of the men and max
ing themselves generally obnoxious to
the world at large, came a group Of
ffrst-class players who become the
stars. There was little to choose among
them, but even they have not things
their own way, for young, supple girls
are always coming to the front, and IN
the keen competition of the present
day to hold ones own at all becomes
a task calling for all the qualities OF
the sportswoman.
With the developme nt of the game
from fad to a sport the quality OF
American woman's golf has improved
immeasurably, particularly in the
long game. One hundred yards used
to be long drive for woman, and
one of that length would bring forth
applause from admiring onlookers,
but to-day woman who cannot clear
a 130-yard bunker would not even fig
ure among the "also rams" in the pub
lished accounts of match. Putting
is the part of the game women learn
most readily, and the part in which
they excel. Women putt as we'll as
or better than men, but they never
drive as we'll because they are handi-
capped by the element of strength.
In the development of the game there
has been little Improvement in the
putting department since the early
days. All who had any eye whatever
quickly learned to go down in two
when on the green, but in reaching
the green the women of today have
advanced wonderfully over those of a
few years ago.
The little, delicate, ladylike at
tempts at driving, or the strange con-
tortions with which women beat the
air, are seldom seen on golf courses
now. Women swing out like men and
put snap into their wrists and the
ball goes. The only difference be-
tween their driving and that of the
men is the actual muscle behind the
ball, and that is handicap nature
has made.
