FEMININE FANCIES
LITTLE HINTS AND HELPS FOR
ALL WoMANKlND.
The Careful Woman Rests Her Clothes,
Thereby Keeping Them Always
Fresh and Free from Shah
hlness-Other Items.

The careful woman has taken to
resting her clothes.
Nothing induces shabbIness in coats
and gown more than the lines and
wrinkles which show they have been
worn and reworn.
Walking creases and sitting creases
make q garment old before it has
done its duty.
Men appreciate this fact better than
women. That is why a man can al
ways appear well dressed with a
small wardrobe, because every week
or so he makes a change Of suits and
sends the one he has been wearing
20 the tailor. and never by any. chance
allows a wrinkle TO become fixed in
his suit
Not all women's frocks can GO to a
tailor. but she can manage 10 change
her clothes often enough 10 give them
an entire rest And it is real economy
90 do so.
Here is a practical plan for clean
ing and pressing skirts: Brush them
first. then whisk of with a clean
brush dampened In ammonia and
warm water
Any stain can be- removed n rubbed
out lt once with a mixture Of equal
parts OF ammonia alcohol and water.
Aftcr the skirt II thoroughly cleaned,
brushed and dried. lay Il on the press
Ing table or beard. pin each pleat
down IN the proper fold. cover the
skirt with n p!ecS OF dark wooden
goods, which has Leen previously
dampencd. and then press.
To remove dust from silk skirts. do
not use a brush. but wipe them with a
piece OF velvoteen. which VIII not
wear the silk and viii remove the
dust very much mere satisfactorily
than a brush.
SILK or RULED skirts should be 1T
ted out with tapes sewn on the lower
ruhies. by which they may be hung
upside down. This prevents the skirt
from sagging and the RULES from
dropping
Gowns OF delicate material should
be put away ia long boxes OF drawers,
each skirt being folded IN pleats. into
which Il should fan when being worn
The bodices should be stuffed with
tissue paper. also Che sleeves and
trimmings nued 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 strlngy, are
more easily affected by damrness. and
lose their freshness before they are
worn.

PURPLE FAD IN PARIS.
Brightest Of Hues Find Favor in the
French Capital.

A mention Of purple is justified by
the fact that this color in the bright
est OF hues seems a fad in Paris at
the moment There are entire COS
tunes OF ii, large hats and coats OF II.
and everything about the toilette is
purple II is as II the women OF
fashion were royalty mourning for
something departed. as indeed they
are-"we are mourning the basty de-
parture OF a too short summer" as
some one put 1t in one of the smart
ateliers the other afternoon.
There is nothing unusual about this
new vogue. however, for Paris often
goes mad over a color. usually a diff
cult one; but then compilations and
hair do not matter in a land that owns
the best parfarmeurs and colffeurs In
the world.
A number OF exquisite silk frocks
in purple are stamped with motifs OF
cloth. They are perfect works OF art.
besides being strikingly original; but.
alas. originality nowadays means end
less patience in ordering new cloths,
and endless coin, to use a forcefuI bit
OF American slang.
Purple seldom appears in the strip
ed materials. but Is used effectively
for pipings. being especially smart
upon light gray. white or even pale
blue.
