Many women have been obliged or
have preferred to replace long silk
gloves, not by a new pair, but by short
ones, which they sew to the perfectly
good arms of the cid ones.
This seam, however. makes an un-
slightly line, which Immediately pro-
claims economy to all the world. One
clever woman crocheted instead of
sewing the parts together.
The crocheted band was in pretty
pattern, and of silk to match the
gloves In shade, was an ornament In

friends haunted the stores in a vain.

Not only does the crocheting i'm

There are Innovations in the prov

to buy white blouses of silk, satin,
crepe, chiffon, or lace in almost any
degree of elegance, but the dark
blouse has usually been of the sim
plest sort, clinging to shirtwaist lines
or departing from them with unsatis-
factory results. The woman who
wanted truly smart dark blouse for
wear with trotting frock was obliged
to have It made, and even then more
often failed than not

the next ten days it IL estimated that

season in New Mexico this year was
not as successful as during the cxeep-

Hfty per cent This shortage has
tended to sharpen competition among
