The difference between poor
stock aud first class stock on a job
is small item when you consider
the value of the job. 1t is the
price OF a satisfied customer. 1t is
better to make so cents less on a
job and have customer who will
come back, than to use the flimsy
stock, make the extra so cents and
lose your customer. That is the
way we figure it.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
TIE SMALL HOUSE

It may be inconvenient in many
WAYS but | would far rather lie
obliged to economic room than be
obliged to sweep, dust and care for
rooms which were never used. So
many of the modern homes are
built so extravagantly, so many
rooms and halls seemingly built to
bewilder one, rather than with a
view to convenience. For those who
have help these things are not OF
much consequence, but it is differ
ent with the woman who does her
own work. The convenient house
is the one which contains Just
enough room and none to spare. Ii
one has the building of a home, it
should be arranged for convenience.
The wife should do most of the
planning of the interior. She knows
more than man can about the con-
veniences of the kitchen, dining
room, pantry and closets. They
should be built in Il manner to save
steps. After the house has been
built it depends upon the wife to
select the furniture and arrange it,
to make it the most attractive and
homelike.
There is a restful atmosphere sur
rounding the little home which is
seldom found in a mansion. Every
room is neat and attractive, but
none too good to use There is
plenty of light and warmth. The
furniture is strong, durable and
comfortable. There are no closed =,
damp rooms that chill one to look
into. The sofa is placed there to
lie upon when one is tired, not to
hold a fine display of pillows too
good to use. To have ones home
arranged for comfort does not mean
that it must be shabbily furnished
Coarse, homely furniture does not
give restful effect to room. There
is furniture which is strong and we'll
made yet neat and attractive. There
should be plenty of easy chairs and
cushions to use upon them.
There are more happy parents and
good natured children in homes of
this kind than in all others put to-
gether. Children are allowed more
freedom and parents more rest.
Children may use the sitting room
to play in, yet be taught to put
away their toys and leave the room
in order when they are tired of play
ing. The older children will fold
their papers and put them in their
place when through reading, and if
an unexpected visitor arrives they
NAV be entertained in the same
room. Another advantage is, the
family are all gathered together dur
ing the evening and are better &C
quainted with each other than when
they are scattered about, each in his
own room, after supper. Too often
the father places a mortgage when
he builds the large house, and has
this hanging over him. If he had
built within his means he would
have been happier.

Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-31

Frequently the upper part of the skirt
is composed of a plain fitted yoke, while
! at the knees a plated hounce is added
under bias band or fold of the cloth put
on to hide the joining. In fact, there is
no limit to the varieties and the vagaries
of the walking skirt of the moment, and
the more ingenious the combinations OF
| fiat effect about the hips with fitness
! below the knees the more desirable.
All eXaggeration in regard to length of
the skirt above the natural waist line has
disappeared, and on many strictly tailor
made skirts there is a return to one
inch stitched belt, the waist line being in
normal position. The majority of all
skirts, however. both tailor made and
otherwise, are still attached to the top
of a two-thirds inch band of stiff betting,
the material sloping in to the figure only
Just enough to give a suggestion of the
naturally pretty lines of the figure. This
finish to the skirt gives with dark waist
a smarter and, in most cases, a more be-
coming effect than when there is sepa-
rate belt to break the line.
Coats of Different Length.
There is a great difference of opinion
apparent just now in regard to the cor
rect length of walking coat Some few
models reach to the very end of the skirt
itself, while others again are so short as
to barely cover the hips, and sonfe others
exhibit short jacket ending at the waist
with one or two tabs of the material or
of silk falling down at the back of the
skirt. The becoming must rule, and
nothing so increases or takes away from
the wearers natural height as the length
of a plainly cut, tight fitting jacket. 1t
is fairly safe to say, however. that if a
jacket is so cut as to clearly define the
waist line-and there are tight belts on
many of this seasons models-it would
then be either comparatively short or
decidedly long, reaching nearly to the
hem of the skirt. A plain semi-ftting
coat, on the other hand, to be most be-
coming to a woman of average height
should fall little below the knees, and
may be even some inches shorter Tailor
made costumes in the strictest sense OF
the word are once more in vogue for the
coming winter. and with their long, semi

of the heavy serges or cheviots of which
the coat and skirt are formed, and instead
! of silk bodice of the exact tone OF the
rest of the dress waist of quite dlHerehI
color is frequently seen. With skirt OF
black or very dark gray brilliant blue,
bright pink or dull gold bodice is curl
ously effective. Some hint of the coior
of the rest of the dress is suggested IN the
trimming of the bodice, either in the ng-
ure, in the silk or in the embroidery OF
bands of silk or velvet which trim the
waist Occasionally straps of the cloth are
| used. but as a rule these prove too heavy
ribbed silk or panne velvet being more
comfortable under warm cloak.
Dark Silk Bodices.
Necessarily these rough materials are
warmer than the smooth finished cloths,
so that it is obligatory for the waist to be
light in weight. Unless necessary to make
it becoming the waist need not be lined,
and indeed the soft lines of an unboned
waist are, if possible for the figure, always
Iprettier than anything else for simple
STYLE of costume India silk and foulard,
as well as various other grades OF hght
weight silk, are preferred now to the
bodices of chiffon, chiffon cloth ana net
The lines of the separate waist are not
materially different from last year, Tor the
narrow shoulder line and long tight sleeve
still predominant. Just touch OF white
at the throat, with perhaps cuff of white
lace or net appearing from beneath the
sleeve itself at the wrist, is all that is
demanded to relieve even the darkest col
ored bodice.
When severely plain coat and skirt cos
Times are SO much the vogue as is the case
This wear seasons outfit demands as well
a somewhat more elaborate street cos
tune of smooth finish cloth that can serve
occasionally for receptions, luncheons, &c,
although not sufficiently elaborate for this
sole p1rpose. In this style Of dress the
SKIRT Is not really long and If especially
nreferred may just escape the ground.
These skirts are often full at the waist
line but cling in at the feet rather than
flare. and unless they exhibit the deep
yoke of the "Moyen age" dress show no
added plaits and tucks.
For this style of costume the coat may
be either quite short and considerably
braided and trimmed or very long indeed.
