TO MANICURE NAILS.

A woman who was heard lately to re-
mark that she couldn't afford to have her
nails manicured made a mistake; in point
Of fact, she could not afford not to have
them done, for few have such pretty
hands that they can fail to make every
effort to improve them, and one who will
spend 10 cents two or three times
week on soda water had better give up
the drink If necessary. and use the money
so expended in identifying her nails.
I am perfectly aware that there are
many girls who would be willing to. do
this, but who haven't money even for the
soda. To them / say. be your own mani
cure and attend to your nails regularly.
If you are downtown every day through
the week give up three-uuarters of an
hour Sunday morning to them. 1t will
be difficult operation at first, but with
practice comes dizziness, even in working
on the right hand.
Better not get a manicure knife, think,
unless you have had professional training.
Even so, many of the best 1nanicnres no
longer operate with one, substituting an
orange-Wood stick, fiat at one end. For
this task you will need a little basin of
hot, soapy water. some curved manicure
scissors, file and some polsning powder.
You will need also a bit of absorbent cot
ton. / would not think of being without this
for my nails, and, incidentally, to clean
them ] always twist the merest wisp
around the end of the. orange-wood stick
and run this beneath the nail edges. The
cotton wipes out dust or particles far
more thoroughly than a bare stick or
piece of steel. This is trick worth re-
Numbering, for it keeps the skin soft
beneath the nails and makes them less
likely to pick up dust If you have been
using sharp instruments for cleaning stop
ii. Several days must elapse before the
skin smooths after the heroic treatment
it has had. But the result Is worth the
waiting.
To manicure begin by fling the nails in
any shape wished. Pronounced points are

NAV he needed again for smoothing rough
edges.
Then put one hand into the basin of
soapy warm water and soak it for five
minutes; longer. IL you wish. Then wipe

Amateur and home dressmakers are
often puzzled about the proper length
of skirts for dresses made at the begin
ming Of the fall season, because they
must commence sewing before there IS a
chance to see from fashion books or by
the gowns shown in shops what the cor
rect distance from the ground will be.
For those so situated l want to state
that the skirts of tailored suits remain
walking length, never less than one inch
from the ground, and sometimes three,
the number of inches depending upon the
age and height of the wearer. short
figure should wear her skirt as long as
she conveniently can, and stout woman
will find it to her advantage to follow
the same style.
On the contrary, slender, tall persons
may cut the skirt three inches from the
ground and will find it an Improvement,
always surprising the wearer to be youth
full An elderly or middle-aged woman
should not choose a short skirt, because
such a choice will only call attention to
her age, and she viii be accused OF aplng
juvenile fashions
The separate skirt for street wear is
made the same length as the suit skirt,
but for house use it is much longer.
For morning wear the skirt should
touch the floor all around, although II
the wearer wishes. 1t may be shorter In
the front for convenience in walking. but
there are no models in short skirts for
house wear this autumn.
Skirts and gowns for afternoon are cut
in what is known as round iength-that
is, long all the way around-a fashion
prevalent a few years ago.
Dresses in this length are fashioned
from wolfe. silk, the silk and wool mix
lures. creepy goods, cashmere, henrietta
and similar fabrics, while lightweight
tweeds. poplins, mohair. panama, cotton
voiles and cotton and wool mixtures are
materials responsible for the shorter
skirts for house wear.
Dressy afternoon cloth suits are made

LENGTH OF SKIRTS
FOR THE FALL COSTUMES.
Walking Skirts May Be From One to Three Inches
From the Ground.

from fine broadcloths and worn for call
ing or receptions. and have skirts made
with q slight train in the back, but only
those who can afford a carriage will
find this length suitable. Such costumes
are deliberately trimmed with bratding,
embroidery, etc. The palmer broadcloth
suits show skirts in walking length. and
may be worn to matinees, for church or
calling
The round length is considered correct
for evening informal wear. when the neck
is high and the sleeves long OF course.
ii is understood that some kind OF q
transparent yoke makes the neck high
and not the dress material. Such a gown
may be worn to the theater, evening re-
ceptions or smart day functions, as
church weddings, luncheons, etc.
Dinner gowns are made with trains,
and so are the handsome toilets that are
worn at formal receptions. Important
toilets these may be termed, and there
fore not apt to be attempted by the home
dTeSsmaker.
The woman of moderate means will like
to make her modest evening frocks with
a train, if trains are worn, and in the
majority of cases this appendage is be-
coming 1t apparently adds to the height
of a short figure, and is a graceful ad-
dition to the gown of a tall woman.
The short woman must take care that
the train is not too long. Many persons
have an idea that a long train increases
the height, and so will allow as many
inches to lie on the ground as the skirt
measures from belt TO hem.
This is mistake, for such length
will shorten the figure. For ones height
appears to stop when the skirt touches
the floor On the contrary, If the train
is cut twelve inches from the hem and
allowed to flow, the wearer appears to
be taller than she really is, and grace is
added to her carriage.
Negliges are made in both round
length and with slight trains.
Those on the kimono order are round,
while the fussier, more elaborate gowns
are made with slight train. In this
length such materials as lawn, organdie,
Swiss fine serge, cashmere. silk and crepe
are employed. ELIZABETH LEE.
