to the same conclusion since the ex-
traordinary run Of Val lace and pink
ribbons, which began with the lingerie

solid hour of mending torn lace, patch

til women who have anything else in
the world to think OF besides the fluf-
f1ness OF underwear that never shows

This reaction happened just at the
time Of the no hips" fashion. when
everything that Increases ones size is
reduced to a minimum. and the result
is the plain embroidered underwear.

Fashionable hairdTessers are having
the busy time Of their lives this winter.
Not for long time time have heads
been so much dressed for parties and
balls. Not IN years has so much false
hair been worn, and the work Of match
ing artificial and natural t.esses to-
gether begins early and ends late. Plain
bands OF gold, one above the other, and
poised in the front of the hair among
the waved tresses, have been in evil
dence at the opera The patrons OF the
Metropolitan say that few Jewels are
seen this season, and that women who
sit in the parteFre tier do not glitter as
they have in other years. Diamond
tiaras are not 50 numerous as usual.
There Is a fancy for palmer ornaments.

Keep Bills

1t is well to keep every bill, paid Of
not, for an indefinite period. One never
knows when mistakes NAV occur or
wnen dishonesty may be attempted. The
steel bill files are all very well. though
they are not remarkable for their neat
ness or order, but a better way Is to
use a large scrap book and paste the
bills in alphabetical order, according to
the names of those by whom they are
preferred. therein. If possible it would
be well 10 prepi.Te the leaves like those
OF an address 5o1S, so that it would be
easy to find any bill at any time. OF
course, this is only a cheaper nome
made substitute for a regular letter file,
which is the very best thing for the
purpose-

days Of er grandmother. Set bokays, 20
