Up to about 1869 the Mammoth Cave
Of Kentucky was widely advertised by
its owner. But the owner died that
year and left the cave to thirteen heirs
scattered over the country. The lucky
thirteen devoted themselves to dreams
Of spending the big income which the
cave had been earning for many years
because 1t had been advertised. But
they forgot to keep up the advertising.
Now the cave is visited by com para
lively few persons instead of by many
thousands annually, as in the days
when it was advertised.
But the great cave conveys a lesson
to every business man. If you quit
advertising, your place will be ignored
by the public even more than Mann
moth Cave is ignored, because you are
not even q natural curiosity.
See the point?

Dainty VeiI Gases
That Are Botr3 Prac-
teal and 0r0a-
n9enfaI.

Women who do only little fans~
needlework are making exquisite veil
cases which are both practical and orr
namental. Many of the deft fingered,
workers are planning several cases on
different colors and patterns for gifts
knowing that the woman does net ex-q
list who could fail to appreciate trif1ea
so dainty and useful. The cases ara
twenty or twenty-four inches in length
and about ten in width. Two straight
pieces of silk by the yard or of very
wide ribbon form the bottom of the
case. the two sections being cut exact
ly alike, one to go on the top and one
on the bottom, with a little cotton
wadding and some sachet powder be-
tween. The case will lie fiatter and
keep its shape better If the silk is
sewed over a foundation of blotting pa
per. This will retain the perfume
much longer than any other kind OF
filling.
The upper part of the case has two
sections which open from the center
like covers. These are made over blot
ting paper with cotton wadding and
sachet powder. The edges are sewed
neatly over and over, then finished
with gilt or fancy cord or with q
French rose ribbon binding. Between
the bottom and the top are sides made
of wide satin ribbon shirred all around
the under section and fastened to the
upper covers. The two covers should
meet in the center, and If they are
supplied with silk cord loops and gilt
or jeweled buttons the case can be
closed and the wells kept quite neat.
The original idea has been enlarged
upon by one woman, who made a set
of satin-covered partitions a little
smaller than the dimensions OF the
case to be slipped in between the diff
ferent colors of wells and thus keep
them separate. Instead of having to
go through all the wells to find the one
she wants, all she needs to do is tt
look for the black, white. gray or blue
sections, and there are all her wells of
this particular color.
Dainty gold lowered brocades, ex-
quisite pompadour silks and figured
satins are the favorite materials for
these cases. They are kept on top OF
the long dressing table within easy
reach. If one is greatly devoted to
wells two cases will be found convent
emit, one for automobile wells and the
other for dress wells.

GarDiture Of Brass
Buttons, Large and
Sn0alI, Hueb in
Favor.

It was natural that with the return
Of the consulate and directoire styles
in dress the brass button would play
an important part.
It is already here. It is not only
worn on coats and SKIRTS but it even
fastens up the simple blouses for wear
under coats.
Large ones are used on rough cloths
and small ones on gowns of messaline.
also on blouses of tricote, messaline,
chiffon cloth and silk flannel.
The American brass button, with its
symbols of army and navy, is not used.
The fashionable one is round and
smooth. 1t looks like bullet, and is
highly polished.
Tiny ones are also used on elaborate
indoor gowns, with quantities of gold
and silver lace, old gold embroidery,
and metal soutache. 1t is warlike
time in dress.
Not only are brass buttons revived,
but all manner of other wonderful
ones. These are the ornaments that
played such an important part in the
empire period.
Some of the new ones are of tortoise
shell. the real shell, inlaid with small
rhinestones at the edge. These are
put on splendid gowns for theater and
restaurant wear.
OTHER buttons suggest Damascus.
The. are oxidized silver and beaten
brass. There are others of jade set in
rims of platinum and large turquois
matrices bedded in brilliants.
The latter buttons of semi-precious
stones are more commonplace and OBJ
vious than those of tortoise shell and
Damascene brass.
Even the large satin buttons used
to fasten every manner of fabric are
heavily embroidered in plain floss and
with gold and silver. Designs for
these are sold in the shops, and there
is a great deal of this kind of work
being done at home.
These buttons are by no means mex
pensive. They make the price of the
gown amount up to a good figure, al
though 1t must be said that the ulti-
mate cost of clothes has lessened In
the last two weeks.
Whether the shopkeepers and dress
makers found out that women would
not pay exorbitant prices or whether
the entire cost of things is on a more
sensible scale than last year it is
hard to tell. But this is true-that the
best gowns have undergone a trans
formation in price during the last few
weeks.
