 Some of the standing collars are hemstitched around the top.
 Belts will match the skirts Instead of the waists this season.
 Most of the new crepe blouses are inset with Irish crochet lace.
 Pretty little neck bows are made of colored open work embroidery.
 The new hats, almost without excep- ton, show exaggerated crowns.
 Swiss embroidery, whether hand done or machine, gives excellent effects.
 Some of the colored linens for suits have a pin stripe of white through them.
 Sleeves are longer and fiatter and they closely follow the lines of the arm.
 Hair ornaments are large, the new est barrettes being from two to three inches wide.
 A charming finish to the waist is the tie known as the directoire, made of crochet lace.
 Dainty hand-painted lace blouses are being worn with the dressy tailored suits.
 Tulle is to be much worn for sashes and to veil and tone down an other wise garish gown.
 Overdresses of one sort or another are seen everywhere on the more elab- crate gowns.
 Frilled frocks-not as frilly as of old, but more fiufily charming been seen on which little ruffles of lace and gauge trim both skirt and bodice.
 Some effective cloth gowns, simple enough for walking costumes, yet smart enough for paying calls, are being made in close, but not tight-ittinG robes.

Beauty Tin.

The carriage of the figure is even more important than the lines of the figure itself. beautiful figure poorly carried shows none of its beauty, while a poor figure well carried with grace and dignity gives a distinction which is in itself beautiful. To acquire a good carriage it is necessary to study the required pose carefully in the mir TOT, to then remember to take that pose whenever rising from chair, and to hold it steadfastly, says Harper's Ba- gar. It requires a constant watchful- ness which makes one self-conscious at first, but in time becomes habit shoulders back and down. abdomen in, head up and chin in.

Menhin~ Stockings.

The feet of new stockings sometimes shrink so that they are too small for the wearer. They may be remodeled in this way: Cut out the heels, open the leg so that from the toe to the end of the opening is the desired length of foot. Make or cut from some other pair the heels and as much of the foot as is needed to lengthen out the first pair and insert in the opening. Be sure to cut the heel and portion of the foot deep enough so that the stock ing will not be too small across the instep. This is much better than put ting in entirely new feet, as there will be no seams near the toes, and the feet usually shrink only in length.

The Too-CIever Woman.

Man uniustly accuses woman of en- toying monopoly of vanity, when, as c matter of fact, no woman is any more vain than most men, and in some respects mere man is so much more ynin than woman that comparison is ridiculous. A good many men spend as much time as any belle over their attire and the manner of it's assump- tion on state occasions. but the real vanity of man concerns his brains. He likes a clever woman, but the very in stant he suspects she is cleverer than he, he takes fright. His vanity is hurt.
 Inasmuch as awe and love are not given to rambling leafy lanes hand in hand, and man in his superiority likes to believe woman dependent upon him mentally as well as for creature needs. the woman who is really clever will never allow her cleverness to obtrude itself too strongly upon men. Wit is a good servant, but a bad master. The girl who acquires a reputation for put ting on airs, or being smart" is never popular among men. The too-clever woman is handicapped by her clever ness. It sometimes pays to pamper foolish. egotistic man, and use wit with discretion.

Making Hard Soap.

Put on pair of old gloves; open a can of the best patent lye; empty il into stone jar; add one quart of cold or warm water and stir with a stick until the lye is thoroughly dissolved. Put the grease on in pot over slow fire to melt. When it is liquid, dip a cheesecloth into hot water, wiring hard and strain two quarts of the grease into a pail; add this to the dissolved lye and stir until it looks like a smooth sirup. Now let it stand, stirring now and then. When it is like thick gruel, have an old bread pan ready to receive the 'tgruel" First, line the bottom with thick paper cut to fit; dip clean cloth into cold water, wiring it dry and spread it smoothly all over the pan, covering sides as well as the bottom. Pour in the soap; smooth it on top and let it stand to harden. When it begins to harden all over, cut into squares with a broad-bladed knife. When quite firm, lift the squares from the pan; lay them on clean paper, not touching one another. When perfectly hard 1t is ready for use.

 Don't neglect the value of sunlight, fresh air and a good digestion as beauty makers. Live out of doors snd eat sparingly, and the measure of beauty that is yours will be sensibly enhanced.
 The flat effect on the top of the head, so much in vogue at present, should not be adopted by the girl or woman of round. full-faced type. She should be faithful to the pompadOur raised well above the forehead. and the hair puffed slightly at the sides, no matter what fashion demands.
 Gray hair requires more care than brown, blonde or black. in order to bring out the delicate shade. If not carefully washed and not immaculate ly clean it will be streaky and inclined to show yellowish tones. which are far from pretty and not nearly so becom- ing and dignified as pure white or gray.
 The best way to overcome -scrawny arms is to practice tensing exercises many times daily. Stretch the arm at right angles to the body, holding them selves very taut; clench the hand and draw up to the shoulder, using as muck force as if lifting a heavy weight. Re peat until the arm begins to get stiff. Massaging the arms with hot olive oil for fifteen minutes night and mOrn- ing will also help to make them plump

UNCLE JosHUA's FLIES.
Occasion for Aunt EIIzn's Statement

 of Matrimonial Philosophy.
 Uncle Joshua was catching files. Un. cle Joshua's method of catching flies was to stalk them one by one, follow. Ing them about the room with a stealthy shuttle and bringing his big hand down with ponderous slap, which nine flies out of ten easily evaded. It must be confessed that if fly was caught, Ii proved fatal.
 Betty, watching Aunt Eliza beat uI a pan of gingerbread in the kitchen listened to the shuttle and thump and muttered eXclamations till it got upon her nerves. Aunt Eliza's face, over the gingerbread, was full of placid con tent. Finally Betty could stand 1t nc longer.
 Aunt Eliza," she asked, doesn't it drive you wild to hear Uncle Joshua catch fiiesT
 Aunt Eliza laughed. Bless you, no child. It don't hurt the flies any. By and by, when I get round to it, I'll drive them out. There ain't more'I half dozen in there, ever. but he likes to think he's clearing them out. ''
 But he thumps so," Betty answer ed. laughing. and yet persistent.
 Aunt Eliza glanced at Betty's left hand, and her wise eyes became grave.

Wash Up. Not Down.

When washing painted walls or var nished woodwork most people begin at the top and wash down, the water run ming down over the dirt, causing streaks to appear, which are hard to rub out. You can avoid this by start ing at the bottom and washing up. A good cleanser for this purpose is cas- tile soap, and half pound to one and a half gallons of water. Boil until dis solved.

Hotel Cells.

The chief difference between the a( craze hotel cell and the average pris- on cell, viewed from the standpoint of social psychology, is that one Is locked on the Inside to keep outsiders out, while the other Is locked on the out side to keep insiders in. The occu- pant of the hotel cell Is afraid that something will be done to him or that something will be taken from him by some one who ought to be in prison cell. That Is the theory of 1t.
 Lock your door and leave your val uables at the office" cautions the oblig ing innkeeper. If you had valuables you wouldn't be here," observes the witty prison keeper. That is to say, the question of valuables seems to en- ter largely into the matter.
 It would be great to have a civi- lization which considered valuable only those things which could not be stol- en, such as mental and moral equip ment, skill and goodfellowship. Then we could be a little more sociable. We could talk to each other without but toning our coats or feeling for our dia- mond studs every few minutes. Then the man who willingly secluded him. self in a stuffy hotel cell could be lock ed in and made to stay there. on the ground that something terrible was the matter with him.-Success Maga. zine
