Christmas Shopping Hints.

"Have You Noticed the children's
millinery this season?' queried the fond
mother Of family of three rosy-cheeked
little maids. Really, I never saw such
fascinating bonnets as they are showing
this year. At AS yesterday l could
scarcely tear myself away from those
quaint little Shaker bonnets. which the
saleslady told me were the newest thing.
One, in particular, had a white felt
crown, with pokey brim of white silk,
faced with shirred white chiffon. But
that was not all. Where the ties fastened
to the bonnet were rosettes of ribbon,
centered with pink roses. Another was
very similar and had short white os-
trich plume dropping downward so as to
almost rest on the baby's shoulder. They
are making these Shaker bonnets, l am
told of the same material as the coat,
and facing the inside with white.
A Little Way from the bonnet case
was another which held everything for
the baby" And here it was that the
writer saw the cunningest knitted jackets
in white wool, with collar and cuffs Of
blue or pink. But the feature of these
little jackets was the pointed hood to be
slipped over the tiny unprotected head

doing away with the shawl, which always

good wholesome bread. Bed making,

or are expected to wed title; still the
training is just the same.
They are trained to market and to know
and understand the price of food stuffs
and to shop intelligently so that the
trained German girl does not scorn to ask
the price of any article she desires in
shop no matter how rich her father or
husband may be. They are taught to un-
derstand the real things of life and 1t is
on this principle that modern girl train
ing in Germany is conducted. In this
country it is too one sided and is turning
out thousansd of girls who are more at
home In a chemical laboratory than In,
supervising the work of their own homes.

When You Buy your ribbon for
Christmas packages this year be sure you
get the Teddy bear holly kind. This Is
the very latest thing in ribbon. 1t comes
in all widths, like every other kind of
ribbon, and you can also use 1t for maxi
ing fancy articles, such as workbags and
other novelties, for Christmas giving. The

eyes, and the legs are movable. like the

The Gay Clothes.
But we must get on to the gay clothes
with which our story deals-exquisite

scintillating palletted nets that culver and

Fashions Made mt the Horse show.
Since the Horse Show and the opening
of Grand Opera, several style features
which before hung In midair as it were,
have descended to become important
items OF midwinter fashions. The tunic
skirt, for instance, received undoubted
approval at the Horse Show In tailored
suits as well as costumes of a dressy
type. In the tailored skirt the tunic or
overskirt was merely simulated with a
band of the material or velvet. The point
front and back is a favored shaping of
this new skirt, so also Is that which is
very short at one side and slants diagon-
ally across the front of the foundation
skirt to the hem on the opposite side.
The Empire Remains.
While the empire is not dominating
winter modes, it is seen to some extent in
dressing. To the figure that can
carry this style Of costume it is more
than becomingit is highly artistic-but
few Of our American women are hipless
and slinky enough to carry this type of
dress we'll.

Care d Floors.

How to care for floors and keep them
in good condition is often difficult prob
lem for the housekeeper, but if the floor
is properly treated and gone over couple
of times a year, it is little trouble to
keep it in excellent condition. A treat
ment to be recommended and which has
stood the test Of experience is this-h
wash the floor well and let 1t dry. Then
go over it with a cloth dipped from time
to time in coal oil, which both cleanses
and penetrates the floor so that less of
the boiled oil is required. The boiled oil
finish should then be prepared. To make
this take two quarts of boiled oil, put
beeswax the size of half an egg and boil
together until melted and thoroughly
mixed. Care should be taken In doing
this, as both materials are infiammable.
While the oil is still warm. apply with
wide paint brush.

The careful and elaborate training given
German girls of the better classes (and
nobility and aristocracy is not meant ex-
clusively by that term) is something to
cause the statesmen in the United States
to pause and ponder Undoubtedly the
German girls are receiving more scientific
handling during their educational period
than those of any other nation. The Ger
mans have. approached this important
problem of modern progress from a most
intelligent standpoint.
These, girls usually range between six
teen and twenty-five years of age and
their last three years are understood to be
in preparation for marriage. The Ger
mans figured that the vast majority of
happy and therefore successful women
were married women. In Germany and
elsewhere the most important economic
and human duties of women were as wives
hrst and afterwards as intelligent care
full trainers of the future workers and
thinkers of the nation.
Most of the girls are splendid musi-
clans. They speak English and French
as well as German. They are given a
full course in social etiquette otherwise
known as the foundation for good man
ners and pleasing appearance calcu-
lated to make a good first impression.
They study Ibsen and his plays, and other
writings carefully and under level headed
instructors Shakespeare they also read
carefully and intelligently. In needle9
work they are forced to become practical
workers and are taught to mend and dye
various materials so that they can get
the most out Of such wearing apparel as
their future husbands may be able to af-

despoiling of a mode made famous by a
one-time ruler of his own dear France, his
commercial instinct is strong enough to
overcome his sentiment.
Copenhagen blue is the color of the
most attractive of his productions this
year. The skirt, gathered into the waist
band, is formed of panels of dyed Maltese
lace and chiffon velvet Below the knees
the panels are met by a deep velvet facing
headed with heavy chenille embroideries,
which gives a founce effect. The bodice
shows the material swathed crosswise on
a tight-itting taffeta lining and shoulder
bands Of embroidered velvet and byzan-
tine embroideries in rich oriental color
ings, which describe the lines of an Eton
jacket in the front and an elongated yoke

lace and tucked net corresponding with the
under-sleeves. The empire tendency is re-

Years demanding their quota Of appro-
pirate costuming that ones wardrobe
cannot be neglected even in these last
days before the holiday when everybody
is making a Wild, hazardous finish of the
Christmas shopping.
As If to remind delinquents of impend-
