CRETONNE Hat BOXES.

With the monstrOus hats now in vogue
It is necessary for each to have its indi-
Vjdual hat box, so clever people have
made boxes that may be folded up and
laid away in the bottom of the trunk
They are covered with cretonne or bro
Cade. and are every bit as attractive as
they SQUAD. OF course, the lid and bot
tom OF the box cannot be folded, but
the sides may all be laid together, with
the result that the box. when arranged
for travelling, is only an inch and \ half
high.
Almost every one packs her hats in
the regular hat trunks. but, once ar
rived. the larger affair may be relegated
10 the trunk room, and the numerous
ChapeaUs each placed in its own special
box.

BURLAP PROVING A RIVAL
TO SILK IN MANY
USEFUL WAYS

That useful material. buriap, has been
made up in many attractive ways in the
last few years. and now the needlework
shops are showing desk pads, handker-
chief boxes and picture frames ali in
burlap and embroidered with soft col
ored silks.
one set was in a dark shade Of green
and the design was carried out in tones
of wood brown. 1t does not take very
fine stitches or great amount OF work.
but, when the dainty little articles are
finished and mounted on cardboard, they
are pretty and effective.
As sold ia the stores, such things cre
expensive: but why not cover q box
and there are plenty around the average
hOuse-With burlap and leave it with
out further elaboration? It would not
soil easily and IL would prove a formi-
dable rival to the silk and tapestry af-
fair.

TO DISPEL FLESH.

If you are overstout, don't use drugs
They may bring on another evil worse
than flesh.
Use the flesh brush. Get a square,
cornered clothes brush OF manila fiber.
At first the skin will be sensitive. but
use the brush gently and steadily and it
will not irritate.
Pay attention to the muscles of the
shoulders and arms, and especially tho
back of the neck where that unsightly
mound of flesh rises.
Whenever you can walk, do So
Imagine that the trolley car engenders
disease.
When you feel sleepy go out in the
sunshine on an interesting mission.
Do your sleeping at night and omit

Thus adjured. Bettina took the first

ings from the wall. Bella ZeplOy,
aged S6. was considered so young and
giddy that it was feared to place in
her hands anything of Importance.
She was selling, accordingly, simple
confectionery. She sampled that sim
pie confectionery so frequently, how
ever. that she was transferred to the
lemonade keg. There a close watch
was kept on her, but nevertheless she
managed to dispose of an occasional
surreptitious glass. Bella, like all
young things, has not yet conquered
her sweet tooth.
