The handkerchiefs which have the but

expensive.
Paper dish towels may be had by the

who uses them says they are most salts
fatory if used inteligently. The dishes
must be very carefully rinsed and the
hands should be quite dry before the
rinsed, the towels do not become soiled
soon: this makes it possible to dry them
and use them Il second time.
The jewelry counter extends a siren
call to the average woman. Imitation
ornaments have attained such a high
place by reason of their artistic worth
that really effective and desirable pieces
may be picked up for a mere song every
day in the week. One can have old ltal-
ian pins and necklaces, early French bits,
hand-wrought jewelled effects that set
off q little costume wonderfully and any
number of antique and modern orna-
ments at such little prices that it seems
hardly worth while to give their price a
thought. But when every gown in the
wardrobe has its necklace and brooch, to
say nothing at all of the bracelets and
rings that go with Them even though
imitation and not real metals and jew
els make them up, the cost mounts high.

winged scarab of real jade pieces. These
belt pins and brooches often have pen
| dants of small human figures or scarabs,
and the pin part will be trimmed with a
clever imitation of antique gold work.
Brooches and buckles with semi-precious
stone settings or their imita tons are out
in every sort of color to match costumes.
The amethysts are still popular enough
to have special places i'll the departments
accorded to their display.
If there is little cold meat left over,
chop it not too fine and warm 1t in the
gravy or in brown sauce. Make ring
of mashed potato and fill the center with
the chopped meat, we'll seasoned. 1t is
little variation from the usual hash or
meat pie.
Every little while l come upon a
piece of old furniture that makes me
dangerously near breaking the tenth COM
mandment," said an east side housewife.
Such was my experience the other day.
What | saw was sideboard of mahog-
any inlaid in brass and with glass knobs
that are JOY to behold. The knobs are
handsomely cut, but what marks them
as decidedly different from others is their
close resemblance to amber. This is
brought about, l am told, by the brass
back provided for each glass;"
In using hair cloth for interlining, it is
good plan to cover the Jennings and
bind the edges with some soft silk or
lining material. Then there is no danger
of the stiff hairs cutting their way
through the fabric of ones gown.
A handsome and unusual present to an
October bride is a large and full white
willow plume. 1t came from a friend
who knows well the taste of the person
for whom she selected the gift.
One often finds it difficult to sew on
the fancy covered button so they look
well. The trouble usually comes from
trying to sew the buttons into place
through the material, which is gathered
at the center of the under side of the
mold. If one pins the button on the
dress or coat and then SeWS it by catch
ing the material on the under side of the
mold close to the edge, the button will
keep its position perfectly.
For the little house gowns foulards are
used extensively, and the shops are filled
with offerings III polka dots and kinder
garten foulard patterns. Stripes have
begun to appear in many of the silk de-
signs and Persian stripes in pOmpadour

gowns in Louis XIV. styles yellow
shades are favorites for evening wear.
All the prune and plum shades have re-
vived for the winter and are particularly
smart when made into evening gowns
and wraps of the soft materials. With
the wonderful offerings in the texture
and fabrics, color and color combina

her pocketbook and her complexion.
HousekeeperS who are canny in other
directions too often forget that a heavy
salad is out of place at the dinner table.
Plain orange salad, served with French
dressing on lettuce leaves can be i'm
proved upon for most persons by any
admixture. Diced pineapples with orange
is always delicious, and for variety
peaches or pears may be added. Large
ripe alligator pears, at their best now in
the fancy fruit shops, are one of the
possibilities.
Black has been the fad in Paris for
the past twelve months and the craze for
black has reached America. Since then
we have had black frocks, black hats.

Black alone, or combined with white,
promises to remain in favor during the
winter season. The milliners have al
ready brought out some very attractive
models showing these effects.
The courturiers, also. have introduced
the black touch extensively, in fall cos
tunes. Cheruit is using black chiffon
tunics over colored frocks of serge and
other wool fabrics, and her lead has been
followed by American dressmakers. A

tea room the other afternoon, was of
