VI dlC Vli lliSii lNSb O 6OOb PebhA VI the time, the following advice which l came upon in column of good suggestions will prove most beneficial. Dust the feet night and morning with this powder: >alicylic acid 52 grains, powdered boric acid 175 grains, tal- cum powder BE ounces. The prepa- ration will absorb moisture and do away with that stinging irritation. Change the hoisery and shoes every day Wearing the same shoes day after day is very hard on sensitive feet.
 To clean rhinestone buckles, mois- ten a pennyworth of prepared chalk with cold water, dip into this dry clean tooth brush and rub the stones until all dirt is removed. Then brush with a dry brush. The stones will look beautifully bright.
 Of the combination net and satin class of gown, excellent opportunities are offered for making over" A very handsome model has rather i. close undersleeves of satin which is "a departure from the usual rule of sheer undersleeves. Also there are several of these closely fitted sleeves in soft satin in connection with frocks If cloth or velvet, are exceedingly si ,art frock, having long close fitting sleeves of satin slightly wrinkled, having both parts of the sleeve cut along the outer side in shallow cres- cents, the points meeting, while through the narrow, olive shaped openings between the points showed finely tucked mousseline. matching the satin In color. From each place where the points met hung long slender tassel In the color of the sleeve material
 A very good point from Vogue is that a practical girl with a rather shabby black marabout boa evolved a remarkably pretty trimming for the border of black net dancing frock by separating the strands and lightly sewing them at the hem after the fashion in which sable and chinchills are so frequently used on French frocks of fluffy substance.

Whole Stamps Required on Letters.

Look out for the stamp with the
corder nibbled Off. 1t is not worth
Il whoOp, according to the pOstoflice
people, unless it happens TO be on
a letter bearing a special delivery
stamp In that event the missive
will be sent on. but postage will be
collected at the other end. Where
only the torn stamp is affixed, the
letter is liable to be held for post
age and may never get to its desti-
nation nor back TO the sender.
This all came up yesterday when n
patron of the postotlice complained
that he had been given Il torn
stamp by stamp clerk with the
assertion that it was all right. "
But it is not all right" said
Treasurer Harry Harris. and the
reason for this is sound, Many
canceling machines bit only cor
ner of stamp. The rest of the
stamp may be uneffaced. If mutt
lated stamps were permitted it
would be easy work to tear off the
marked corner and send the re-
mainder out on second letter. To
avoid this the government requires
whole stamp to pass current on a
letter"
