The coat has, in fact, two waistcoats,
the inner one, which fastens up quite
high at the throat. being made of plain
ottoman silk cloth in the color of the
coat Over this is a figured satin
waistcoat in gold and white. This
does not quite come together, except
ing above the waist line, where the
satin girdle is used.
On the girdles used for house gowns,
and for the street, also, sometimes,
there are fringed ends or ends fin
ished with tassels. The girdles are,
many Of them, not made up, but are
merely broad satin ribbons, soft and
yet not fiimsy, and finished at the
ends. They are knotted once or twice,
and have hooks and eyes so that the
tying does not have to be done when
ever the girdle is put on. Ends Of
different lengths, one long end, ends
of uniform length and bows and ends
are all fashionable. The soft folds
around the waist, which are so pOpu-
lar, are much more easily obtained
when the girdle is merely this piece
of straight ribbon than when it is
made up with stiffening or bones.
When the girdles are worn with coats
they are quite loose and broad and
there is no attempt to make a small
waist

Never go out OF doors immediate
ly after bathing the face in hot water.
Topid water is better for both face
ard hands at this season.
One of the best liniments for man
or beast, it is claimed. is composed Of
equal parts of laudanum, alcohol and
oil of NORWOOD
For the baggy appearance under the
eyes rub gently with the tips of the
fingers dipped in alcohol. Afterward
massage in the same way with cold
cream.
Dusty hair is unhealthy. Dust ac-
cumulates as much by reason of soiled
and uncared-for brushes as in any 9th
er way; therefore, "a word to the wise
is sufficient"
Hot water, if taken cupful on ris-
ing and another when going to bed,
will help to reduce the weight of u
stout person Cold water, unless taken
with meals, will not increase flesh, but
has a tendency to harden and make it
firmer.

TRY SELF-CONTROL
Ill TEMPER BOUND TO MAKS
PossESsOR UNHAPPY.
Trick of Flying Into Rage Over
Small Things Is Habit to Be
Deplored-Rest Cure Most
Effective.

Some persons act as if crossness
were an aff1iction that must be Ell
dured. In truth it is habit to be over
come.
If you do not believe crossness is
q habit give way to your feelings eacn
time you feel irritable. Soon you will
find that unhappiness is your chronic
state and the intervals of good temper
become shorter.
Like all habits, the longer its grip
on you the harder it is to loosen, so
when you find that little things annoy
and trifes could make you scream
with rage set out on the conquering
process at once.
People take untold pains to break
themselves of the habit of STOPPING
and squirting or any other physical
defect, and will not make an effort to
keep themselves from flying into RACES
and getting themselves an undesirable
reputation.
Sometimes the habit of irritability
is fostered by the lives we lead. The
hustle of modern existence is produc-
tive of nerves, and nerves and sweet
temper rarely go hand in hand. If
you can trace your crossness to the
things you do, stop doing them. Far
better get a reputation for being care
less than for being ill-tempered. The
latter loses friends.
A day off in bed has a wonderful
curative effect on the temper. The
person you could cheerfully kill before
resting will seem harmless when you
rise with nerves unknotted.
Change of scene and occupation will
break the chains of irritability wheE
moral suasion and pricking conscience
fail
The mother whose children are OBJ
streperous, the housekeeper whose
drudgery has struck in, the worker
who has grown one-sided-these
should take a vacation in the interest
of those around them if not for their
own sakes.
They will only realize how strong
the habit of crossneSs was when they
no longer feel an inclination to be
disagreeable. A digestive tablet is an
other easy breaker of the cross habit
A bad stomach or disordered liver is
responsible for half the unhappy
households.
Children are not the only ones who
get rabid from overheating; a course
of dinners and luncheons in a modern
season would have upset the amiCable
reputation of Moses the Meek. The
debutante who can go through hel
first winter sweet tempered has the
disposition of an angel, the digestion
| of an ostrich or a wise trick of moi
eating.
Sometimes we get the cross habit
| because our lives lack interest. Tt
be so "do-less" that life is bore il
certain breeder of Immature. Ge
an object in life. Ride a hobby rather
than be a terror to friends with you
temper.
If mothers would treat temper as ;
disease and doctor for it, or as habi
that can be broken, there would bt
fewer unhappy men and women.

The New Petticoats.

All fluffiness that conflicts with the
long, clinging lines of the present day
skirt must go.
Taffeta underskirts are no longer
suitable except for wear with the
short walking skirts.
Materials which cling to the figure
and without being too thin are not
cumbersome, are in every way most
satisfactory.
Along these are soft satin, pongee
crepe de chine, peau de sole and other
fabrics without stiffness.
Lace medallions, insertions and ruff
fies are used to trim the petticoats
meant for afternoon wear
The softer underskirts for evening
wear are adorned with chiffon, point
d'esprit, spangled tulle, embroidered
net and tulle and chiffon flowers.
Another pretty fashion is the use Of
ribbon flowers or those made of che
mile on the skirts of the more dia
phanous materials.

The storm of Monday night had

MADE DAINTY WEDDING GIFT.
China Flower Pots Most Acceptable
Present for Bride.

A dainty gift sent to recent bride
by one of her school friends was five
of the fascinating china flower pots
containing pink Tosebuds and foliage
also in china.
A wreath of tiny Dresden flowers
encircled each pot half way up the
sides, and the lid, which came off, had
four gilt knobs at the corners and a
layer of brown china to simulate
earth, from which rose the flowers.
The central pot was somewhat lar
ger than the other four and was in
tended for the. center of the table,
while the others were grouped at right
angles around it.
These novel table decorations not
only are lovely for winter, when flow.
ers are scarce, but, the lids being re-
moved, the under parts make charm.

keepinu Radiators Clean.

Besides being uncleanly it is unhy-
gienic to let dust accumulate in the
crevices of steam radiators. 1t is a
breeder of microbes which are alb
sorbed into the lungs.
Now it is not easy, as every house
keeper knows, to keep dust from radi-
ators; the ordinary dust cloth seems
quite inadequate to do more than
"slick up the surface of the pipes.
But there is brush with curved
handle and long, slender bristles like
a giant toothbrush that goes into
every part with perfect ease. Ties
brushes not only keep radiators clean
but are just the thing to brush off the
tops of window lodges, or to clean the
fender of the open CRATE, or to rur
along picture molding.

For Elderly Women.

Softness without exaggeration must
be the foundation of any couture.
When a part in the middle of the
head is becoming it should be adopted
by every woman over middle age. II

ness, and is also good for the, hair.
If there is a pompadour it must be
soft and loose but thoroughly tidy.
One of the best arrangements is a
soft figure eight at the top of the
head.
"Frizzes" are objectionable, but a
slight wave, though it must needs be
done artificially, is pretty and nearly
always becoming,
