SPENT FORTUNE IN 4 WEEK.
Detroit Woman Used Up Over St0O,
 900 in Six Days.

Spending slO0,000 in six days is going some. even for New York, says the New York Telegraph. And just to add a touch of interest to the story the party who has been making money flow Broadway is very intelligent and pleasant little woman from Detroit, Mich.
 What makes this story seem all the stranger IS that Martins, Sherry's-- none of those popular resorts were any the wiser for the fact that she was here; no theater parties, wine parties dinner parties nor any other parties were formed by her or in her honor She just came, spent her money quiet. ly and today will go away again.
 This record breaking spender Is Mrs H. Stearns and she is stopping at the Astor. She is buyer for two big De- troit houses, and she dropped in here quietly Just six days ago, Since sht arrived she has got away with a small fortune but she is going to take back to Detroit value received, which Is more than some Detroiters and other: do who come here to blow in the money somebody has made in numbering, or 1T iron mines, or raising celery at Kala mazoo.
 Mrs. Stoarns was asked how she en 1 joyed the trip.
 "Fine," she replied New York i the finest city in the world for a wom an to do business in,
 "When woman drops into Londol ov Paris or any other European city t buy 1t is difficult for her to get tn proper attention from the people wh, have things 10 sell. They seem to fin, difficulty in realizing that this is tn twentieth century and women are be ginning to do things.
 "There are other women buyers, 0 course, but they devote their talent entirely to specialtes, such as millin cry. In fact, there are comparativel few outside the millinery line,
 q buy anything. The stores fo which I am working this trip are de partment stores. and of course tha means that the buyer takes in every thing
 "Only a woman like myself can az preciate the advantages of carrying o business of the size I have been car rying on here in New York Tn tn past six days I have spent more tha s1oO. 1000. l think I have bought brett nearly everything under the sun."

WAIST FOR EVENING

A fashionable evening waist can be made of soft black satin with an abun- dance of net trimming The bodice portion should be surplice very much the shape of a corset, with com paratively little fullness at the front or back. The very deep yoke should be of the finest black net, tucked and finished with an extremely high collar. Sleeves should be made with one row of gathers along the inside seam from the waist to the bend of the upper arm. and the triple ruffle or shirred effect upon the top of the sleeve will be needed to make the sleeve ruffied the entire length It should fit closely. The next consideration Is a suitable trimming to cover the dividing line of satin and net This can be found In an applique of fine black satin flowers upon net. It should be SO arranged that cascade of net can extend from the yoke to the waist line, where 1t Is covered with a girdle or belt. A waist of this kind can be worn over a peach chiffon lining and a skirt of black silk crepe de chine over a pink taffeta skirt. The girdle should be of black satin, very prim in every | respect

CARE OF THE NAILS

To have pretty finger nails 1t Is nec- essary to keep them properly mani cured The nails should be filed In a curve which follows the shape of the end of the finger. After the nails have been filed the finger tips should be held in hot, soapy water until the cut icle is soft when 1t may be easily push ed back from the nail by means of m orangewood stick. To give the nails a delicate rose tint they should be pol ished by applying some good ointment or powder. Tn the interest of pretty nails 1t is a good habit to rub cold cream into the cuticle every night, al- ways rubbing the cuticle away from the nails. Another little habit is 70 always, when drying the hands. rub the cuticle back with the towel. These little. habits help materially to keep the nails In order and greally lighto1 the weekly manicuring process.

HOW TO CRATE LEMONS

There's a right and wrong way to grate a lemon, and according to 0 cooking teacher, most of the cases of curdled sauces and custards favored with lemon are due to the fact that the lemon are due to the fact that the lemon isn't grated properly" She says; "A properly grated lemon would present just the same appearance, hs far as outline is concerned, as before the grating process was commenced. there being no deep gouges Into the pith as Is generally the case.
 "The oil of the lemon which Is want ed for favoring Is all in the yellow portion of the rind. the white plth un- derneath being bitter and liable to cause curdling If used with milk or cream The white pith hasn't the slight est suspicion of the real lemon flavor, and still the average housekeeper hasn't learned this and keeps on grat- ing right through the oily yellow rind down into the bitter plth, and then wonders why on earth the milk curdles
 "The habit of grating lemon cor rectly Is easily learned when once ones attention is called to the matter The grating should begin at the end of the lemon and as small surface oi the grater should be used as possible This prevents waste.
 "The lemon should be turned in the same way that one turns an apple un- der knife while peeling Grating q lemon properly is a pretty little trick once it's learned, and 1t often means success where before there has beer failure"

THE CHILD'S DRESS

It looks as if serges would take the place of almost all other materials for those dressy little frocks that children will need when 1t comes time to trip off to school The patterns are good, too, being in jumper styles. with out lines made with piping, and the under waist of a soft material In like color with the sleeves trimmed with anchors or pretty emblems suitable for such purposes One darkbue serge dress was made plain with a plaited skirt, each plait about two inches wide at the waist line, gradually broadening at the hem The jumper waist was also plaited in similar style and made with wide armholes, outlined with narrow band of wooden braid in a brick red tone. The V-shaped yoke was fashion ed in the same manner, However. the yoke had heading about two and one-half inches wide, cut the shape of the yoke and outlined on each side with braid, the dress fastened with smal brick-red buttons.

GUT FLOWERS
Arrangement According to Natural Growth Brings
 Out Their Beauty.

It is well to remember that all flow- CTS look better for loosening up trihe and few look well packed tightly to- gether. One of the safe rules to fol- low is to heed the natural growth of the flower whenever possible. Flowers that grow in thick clusters are certain to look well in masses, while those that grow single and far apart should not be crowded The object should al- ways be to bring out tho whole beauty of the flowers and to let everything else be secondary to that.
 Chrysanthemums and sweet peas arc exnnples of the few flowers that do not need foliage as a relief. Nearly all oth- CTS look far better amid green leaves. A trailing green vine is often just the touch that is needed to soften a stiff arrangement. Asparagus fern Is an airy, feathery green. suitable only for fragile and delicate flowers in loose ar- rangement, Wood sorrel has delicate I leaves that look well with sweet peas and other small flowera but as a rule flowers own foliage suits 1t best.
 The vases used play an important part in the success of flower arrnnge- ment. Colorless. transparent vases are always safe and sometimes abso- lutely necessary. Bowls are beautiful for short-stemmed flowers, and the chf,..er variety are sometimes the best. An ordinary glass fish globe displays the full beauty of the stems to far greater advantage than a cut glass rose bowl. The colorless glass olive bottle, going straight up and down. is more to be desired than opaque vases, which hide decorative stems. Tall. slen- der vases are suitable for long, stemmed flowers. It Is said that the height of long -stemmed flowers should be one and one-half times the height of the vase. is
 Yellow flowers in dark blue jar are effective. and brilliant red flowers look we'll in the neutral gray jars of some of the Japanese ware. The purple violet finds It's richness intensified in pale yellow jar. Pansles and violeta both look theid best in heavy jar, preferably of cylindrical shape.
 It is well not to mix flowers of diff ferent kinds and different colors. A cluster of blossoms all presenting the same hue is usually the most effective arrangement. Some flowers. such as . chrysanthemum or a rose. when long. stemmed and handsome, are set off tt : advantage when a single flower alone occupies the vase.

SERVING WATERMELON

Many hostesses refuse to use water melon on any except informal family occasions. They say 1t Is too sloppy and hard to serve.
 Certainly the old way of serving was not dainty The whole water melon was brought to the table on a huge waiter and was cut with the carving knife Into hunks or segments,
 Nowadays the rind does not make an appearance. The heart of the melon Is cut into regular shaped pieces about Ave inches square and two and one-half inches thick. These are heaped in low cut glass or colo nial glass dish. have bits of ice scat tered over the top and springs of ger anium tucked In the edges. ! A salad fork or an asparagus fork 1 are passed with 1t for serving.
 This method of preparing water melon is not only attractive to tho eye. but makes the melon much more | convenient to eat.

NEWS ABOUT FURs

It is a far cry from chiffons to furs, but already the big establishments have indicated winter fashions.
 The common gray squirrel Is to be glorined this year and will appear in disguise of deep brilliant brown.
 The famous furrier. Laxton. Is re- sponsible for the discovery which leads to the transformation of the "petit gris."
 The dye has succeeded admirably, for the finish is exquisitely soft and silky to the touch.
 Already 1t is being made up into some very chic garments and will doubtless be the choice of many a fas- tidious mondaine,
 Another skin which owes It's pres tige to the hand of the furrier is the musquash or Canadian rat.
 This, after having had all The coarse hairs removed, is such good imlta- ton of seal that 1t puzzles experienced furriers.
 With all the dark pelts, the fur riers are introducing some subtle, vel striking. touch of ermine.
 The best muffs for the approaching season are immense and are made when of dark pelt, with the same strips of ermine. Probably the most popular choice for the woman who does not care tt spend fortune on her furs will b' the caracal.

The most important method for achieving pretty gray hair Is by the use of a long, soft bristle brush. For by applying it--even If the hair Is in- clined to come out easily--the fall Is not increased and the brushing will accomplish much by way of taking out the dust The brush should be used. not by drawing close down against the scalp, as would be done were one trying to bring luster to the surface, but as a clothes brush might be applied. lifting the hair in strands and bringing the bristles through in short, sharp strokes that will raise the dust and take 1t out. In this point lies the value of the treatment, and unless the brush Is welded in such way as to dust, rather than to brush, the whole object has failed.
