ROSES ON ALL WINTER HATS.
or Every Color and Hue, and the
Larger the Better.

Roses of every color and hue, big as
cabbages, are smart on winter hats. 1t
is the color that takes. OF course a
luxuriant big rose, though of satin and
silk and in the shades of pink never to
be seen on a real flower, helps to en-
l1ven the feelings. A rose hat makes
n feel positively young, and young
faces more than ever like flowers
themselves.
The ribbon roses which adorn a
dressy hat just from Paris are made
OF many shades of pink satin ribbon in
n instance, and in another of curious
shades of dead white and greeny white
to look like a bride rose.
1t may folly to pay four dollars
for q single artificial rose, yet that is
what fashion is doing, and the ribbon
roses cost as much If not more.
THE keynote of the year is simple
elegance" said the milliner as she
carefully e%xtricated a large hat to fit
on my head for the reception, Simple
elegance"
Truly 1t looked SO. 1t was a turban,
rather large, and over the maline
finished frame was folded a point lace
scarf with little ermine and sable
tails rounding the crown. A narrow
twist of vieux bleu supple ribbon gave
the color note-that was all. Other tur-
bans-the coming hats-were as, SUI
perb in scarfs of ottoman silk in rich
colors.

AROUND H HOUSE
GENERAL MATTERS OF INTEREST
IN THE HOME.
Arabian System of Making Coffee Has
Much to Commend It-Good
Cement for Mending of
Broken China.

-
Arabian Coffee-The Arabian plan
of making coffee is to boil the grounds
from n meal for about an hour and
a half, TO strain it, and to use the
liquid part boiling hot next dav. By
this method, the small amount of nour-
ishment which coffee contains is ex-
tracted and the flavor of the coffee is
improved.
Paper Bags-Never store food for
any length of time in paper bags. The
paper of such bags is manufactured
from coarse and dirty rags, which
are, however, to some extent cleansed
and sterilized during manufacture, but
the paste with which the bags are
stuck is of the coarsest description,
and the manufacture of the bags is not
always carried on amid the most sani-
tary conditions. Good tins or earthen-
ware or glass jars with well-ftting
lids answer the purpose best.
Broken China-An excellent cement
for broken china can be made by mix
ing lime to a paste with the white of
an egg. A little should be smeared
on the broken edges, which should be
pressed tightly together, and kept in
position by tying with tape or by
straps of stamp edging, The great Sc
cret in mending any fracture, no mat
ter whether china with cement or
wood with glue, is to use as little as
possible of the adhesive substance,
and to press the broken edges very
firmly together.
Color Stains-Often a garment has
become stained by a color which has
run out of another when many gar
ments were all washed together or
when a moist garment has been worn
over another and impaired its color.
The garment should be covered at
once with plenty of clear cold water
and left for IL hours, then hung out
to dry.
Remove Glass Stopper-Wind a soft
stout string around the neck of the
bottle twice and while some one holds
it draw the string back and forth at
great speed. This friction heats and
expands the neck SO that the stopper
is easily removed.
Draw Curtains-A satisfactory sub
stitute for a brass rod is a piece of
narrow band elastic drawn through
and sewed securely at each end and
catching In a loop of narrow tape. The
length of the elastic should be about
two inches less than the width of the
windows and the loops caught over a
hook, nail or screw at each side of the
easement. This will keep the top edge
of the curtain in a straight line.
Toothbrushes-A toothbrush, like
shoes, will wear much longer If 1t Is
alternated with another toothbrush
and thus is wet only every other day.
Every toothbrush should either stand
up or hang up, thus allowing all mois-
ture to dry off quickly.
Wicker Ware-Stains on willow or
wicker furniture may be readily
washed off with hot water and soap,
and when thoroughly dried in the sun
the cleansed parts, If s%hellacked, will
look just like the rest of the chair,
table or settee. This treatment Is only
for the pieces that have a natural fin
ish.

with three gallons of boiling water;
let stand until lukewarm; then add a
yeast cake softened in lukewarm

muslin, bottle and cork very tightly,
tying the corks down. 1t is ready for

The Little Bertha.

All sorts of berthas are used for
trimming the draped bodies Of crepe,
wolfe and chiffon cloth gowns. Some
times these berthas are Of broadcloth
in a matching tone and embroidered in
~self-colored silks. Again they are of
coarse net soutached, embroidered or
appliqued in self or contrasting colors;
but In nearly every instance they are
shaped like the erstwhile popular
jumper-the shoulder straps terminal
ing just below the bust line and at
the top extending out over the sleeve.
TO accompany these berthas there are
landings to finish the sleeve and mar
row edges to finish the collar.

The Smart scarfs,

Just at the present moment the
silks being used for the manufacture
of the smartest scarfs have patterns
which would seem to owe their in
s~piration to various phases of nature.
Fruits and flowers figure very largely
In the designs now as do all sorts Of
towering plants and vines. The new
est scarfs of this type show another
phase OF nature in their design. They
have round balls of color suggesting
suns crossed by fieecy clouds. AS the
majority of these scarfs are made of
gray brocade, the cloud effect is per-
fectly apparent. One had red suns"
while dark blues and browns also ap-
pear in some of the patterns.

may be evolved. Black velvet with

about skirt Belts.

One important feature about a well.
fitting skirt is the belt. This should
not be more than half an inch wide
when completed and should be made
of taffeta or lining that is not too
thick. Skirt belts made Of belt tape
are not always successful, because it
is hard to obtain the proper kind of
betting. Imported models always have
q belt Of belt tape on the skirt, but
It is thin and pliable. A heavy belt
tape, when turned over and finished,
is positively impossible.
