Charming Fashion Has Made Its APP

The new fur neck ruches that will
appear later in the Paris streets are
already worn here on a cold day, says
an Ostend correspondent They are
altosether charming tight, straight
bands Of fur that just fit the neck,
and fasteY at one side under ribbon
bows with long ends. They are topped
by tulle ruchas that usually match the
fur. All the latest sleeves are long,
straight and close fitting. Often they
are cut Off below the elbow, to finish
with a lace mitten sleeve that points
over the fingers. Except for evening
gowns, the short sleeve, either for
the house or street. has quite vanished,
but in these days of quick changes a
discarded fashion may reappear at
any moment All must regret the
short sleeves; they are exceedingly
pretty, lending an aspect of youth par
ticularly allunngl 1t is only the high
price of long gloves that reconciles the
feminine world to their abolition.

there is any record was January Is,
1886, to J. Beverly Allen. for "iIa-
provement in a box for packing tobac-

USE OF SOAP AND WATER.
Children Should Be Taught Proper
Method of Bathing Face.


All mothers are anxious that their
children, and especially girls, should
appear well gtoomed and no mother
need be ashamed of her desire that
her daughter be pretty and attractive,
provided she does not consider this
above everything else. A good com
plexion is usually the result of regu-
larity Of living, abundance of fresh
air, nourishing food, proper sleep,
beneficial exercise, and last, but by no
means least, proper bathing. Too many
children are taught merely to wash
the face with soap, water, and none
too clean wash cloth. Every child
should be taught how to battle the face
so that it is really clean.
AS a girl grows older feminine vani-
