HINTS ABOUT BEDDING.
Some Things the Housewife Ought to
Know

Housewives are not nearly fastidious
enough about bedding. They seem
to think that If mattresses are
turned every day and brushed once
a week it Is quite sufficient. but how
often does one see untidy valances and
coverlets? And if the pillows and holsters
wene stripped of their linen covers, how
frequently are the tick coverings beneath
discolored and altogether uninviting? Down
quilts look nicer than anything else for
winter. but they wear shabby in time and
require recovering. An inexpensive fabric
for this purpose is sikoline. which comes
in number of different .cOlors and designs
one is sure to find one that will please
Down quilts have eyelet holes for ventila-
ton worked at intervals. the holes being
pierced with a stiletto and buttonhoed
around with silk.
When the tick cases of pillows and boil
sters are sha bby. these should be covered
with white muslin. cheap one is sufti-
ciently good, and a dozen yards will make
cases for all the pillows and holsters for d
small house. OF course, the proper slips
will be put over these as usual, ana 1t Is an
additional advantage to know that the un-
borrowers can be taken off and washed oc-
casionally-a quite impossible process with
the usual ticking. Towels which have been
used even once have a rumpled look, and
are better hidden If possible. To do this
make a towel sham of white linen. en-
broIuered with large monogram or some
conventional design, and throw 1t over the
rack so that it covers the real towels COM
pletely.

SOME SEASONABLE TOPICS.

draped girdles Large buckles have just
lately become very popular. and a hand
some rhinestone or fancy clasp Is always
an effective finish to q ribbon belt.
Every age has its own type of face: the
character of the age determines II. Old
pictures help us to see this. in spite o.
the failure of portratture truly to give
expression, and 1t Is observable even when
looking over the pages of old numbers Of
Punch. The early Victorian face was
quite unlike the Georgian, and that again
Is as different as possible from the Eliza
bethan type. Curious indeed, IL is that
this age of progress and feminine intelli-
gence should produce faces that are ex-
pressionless. But 1t Is generally agreed
that present day circumstances and way
of living are producing a calm. not to
say stoniness. which is becoming general.
There is more than one reason to account
for this. To begin with It Is the creed
OF the up-to-date woman never to give
herself away. To accomplish this efrectu-
ally she never allows her features to be-
tray any emotion whatever. Inwardly she
may be fun of fury, racked with jealousy.
or bored to dissolution; but throughout
these varied feelings she preserves the
same impressive look. and shows not a
smiling face. but one that is quite desti-
tute of any expression. says Woman's
Life.
Nor must anything appear to surprise or
annoy the modern woman. A cup OF cof-
fee may be spilled over her delicate silk
gown; she simply folds the breadths to-
gether and goes on with her flow of
feminine talk The ''enfant terrible"

The Seasons Favorites.

Prophecy should not be the forte of
any cautious fashion correspondent. but
the woman who Is fortunate enough to be
able to select her spring costume early will
be on the safe and sure ground If she
chooses voiles and the striped cloths in
one and two toned effects. Neither should
she hesitate to go in largely for striped
and cross-barred muslns whether of linen
or mousselne.
Striped amazon and kindred cloths of
super-thin weight are shown in widest va
riety, and amazon is selected for particu-
larly modish tailored suit in electric blue,
striped with a hair line of white. The
skirt Is simply plated. that's all, without
any other sign of decoration. The coat ex-
tends below the hips and shows a rather
novel treatment in trimming. The back is
cut cross wise and stitched down closely
Bands of the goods cut in the same FASH
ion trim the front, but are much narrow
er than the back. The sleeves have cross
wise capes, bordered with bands of the
cloth cut on the bias, and the coat has
collar and cuffs of steel blue velvet the
velvet being inlaid WITH stitched borders

Belts, collars. wells, gloves, shoes and
stockings-all the little details of the cos
tume-count so tremendously in the tout
ensemble of the outfit that a goodly part
OF the allowance should be kept to be ex-
pended on just these so-called-misnamed-
minor articles. Half an inch more or less

Spring Wraps.

Pussy little wraps are going to be
every whit as popular as ever when the
arrival of warm weather brings them
out. Cape effects are especially liked
in short as well as in long wraps. A
smart model is sort of bolero, the
sleeves have double cape tops that are
lost under the strap finishing the neck.
There is a waistcoat with braid and but

When this kind of person stays in house

should one try to find out when, where and
how one has trespassed she is met with the
patient look of resignation which causes
those of us who are impulsive to long to
shake the lady with a grievance. Some
times these people suffer acutely from bear
ing a grudge against the world in general.
They resent other peoples possession of
wealth or other advantages and complain
that they were born under an unlucky star.
