Every one knows the Inconvenience of
getting corks from glue or cement bot
Ties, even after they have been opened.
After many tribulations with broken bot
Ties, one woman invented the plan of
rubbing the cork with vaseline before
inserting 1t. The corks were easily re-
moved and the glue remained iiouid.
Later she applied the greasing plan to
glass shoppers that fitted too tightly. It
seemed TO prevent the swelling that
makes bottle opening such a trial al

omen who wear at one time a wide
crowned hat and at another q small
toque should remember that the same
hatpin will not fit both hats, and that
projecting points are dangerous. A sad
story comes from Switzerland of a WON
an VINO, wearing a toque with a long
hatpln. ran it into the eye of woman
standing near, completely destroying the
sight Of the injured organ. As these
projecting points may be seen in almost
any crowd, the danger of such accidents
is by no means slight.
London ladies stimulated by the Olym
PIC games of last summer have taken to
the foils and fencing is now the fashion.
Indeed, an official of the Sword club
holds that fencing is likely to have an
even wider vogue among women than
among men. Many women prominent in
the social world are actively interesting
themselves in the foils and there seems
every likelihood that something APP
preaching craze may be started in the
fencing world during the coming season.
And it is an undoubted fact that local
schools of arms are being started all over
the country, which seems to indicate that
fencing among English women is likely
to become an established pastime.
The Swiss state railways alone seem
to have got thorough grip on the Mer-
ry Widow hat question. In future these
pieces of millinery will be classed as BIZ
cycle wheels and have to be conveyed in
the baggage vans. The official notice is
said to read as follows: Ladies' hats

wearing Il hat of larger dimensions who
desires to travel by a Swiss passenger
train must either ride in the luggage van

The woman who looks pretty at the
breakfast table is always we'll groomed
at $50 and makes the family beauty
look dowdy and dilapidated beside ner.
She is full of life and spirit when the
rest of the family feel good for nothing
and look it. too.
How does she manage it?
Why do some women go through life
however pretty they may be, without
that air of freshness and vlgOr between
s and 10 a. M? 1t is a matter, first of
all. of health; secondly, of method, and,
thirdly, of disposition. The pretty girl
may outshine all when arrayed in the
glory of a party gown, but the really
healthy woman has her innings at the
breakfast table.
The woman who insists upon wearing
one petticoat under a frock must choose
it of messaline, lansdowne, silk cash
mere. or soft satin. Taffetta won't do.
It is too stiff and unwieldy for the pres
one walks. and this is not considered
desirable feature. The new trick in
wearing a petticoat is to button it to
the end of the corset. In this way 1t
does not interfere with the fit of the
skirt over the hips and back, and gives
a better figure. This is especially wei
come news to the woman with large
hips who is trying every trick to make
them look small even if they are not.
Ordinary buttons are not used, as they
would show through. Glove clamps are
used instead. These can be bought at
the shops, as they come by the yard and
can be sewed to corset and pefticoat
without expert knowledge.
A splendid toy for the little woman of
the household is a paper doll housekeep-

kitchen. and bedrooms, with the maids
and their correct uniforms, but appro-

which can be set up like a dolls house.
