Among the novelties in hatpins are the
embroidered ones. An inexpensive hat
pin with a large fiat button-shaped top
is the basis. A piece of linen, usually
embroidered with the wearer's initials,
is neatly fitted over the top of the pin.
making an exceptionally neat pin for d
lingerie hat. 1t would not be surprising
to find velvet embroidered with jet, used
similarly for hatpins III the winter milli-
merry.
If one buys soap TO ripen. do not leave
it in the paper. Remove all wrappers so

Violet shades are the most popular OF
all the tones at this early hour. Strong
contrasts of color are seen in some OF
| the smartest robes. Brilliant green and
| purple and empire green and apricot are
among the combinations recalled.
The cuirass gown in silk jersey cloth
with the upper princess waist and hip
yoke part covered with fine jet bead
work is the most novel member OF Its
department. The skirt below the yoke,
| which comes nearly to the knees. is
| plated.
The nameless accessories, on the order
| of the priests dolmatic, which hangs
| straight front and back with open sides
and low necks over handsome afternoon
and evening gowns are often made OF
| gray net over rose or mauve and are
deliberately embroidered and spangled
with silver. Black and white costumes
with the gown of black net or gauZe
over white, and this arrangement of Jet
ted net, is another possibility.
One who has had considerable expert
| ence with buttonholes and buttonhole
making says that if a buttonhole tears
out it is we'll to lay a piece OF closely
woven tape back of it, stitching it firm
| ly into place. Then, after hemming the
old buttonhole to it, cut through the
| tape and work new buttonhoIe, the
right size. When the buttons on band
! have torn out, it is a comparatively sim
! pie matter to squeeze a small square OF
good tape through the hole, lay it fat liz
/ the proper position between the two folds
of the band and stitch it into place.
| Hem the rough edges of the band to the
piece Of tape and then sew the button
| into position.
Did you ever eat cold sliced beef
! Steak?" asked a housekeeper. eff not
you have a treat in store. Most people
| like their steak cut thick. If there is a
piece left. just serve it for luncheon cold.
| Stand the steak up on end and with a
very sharp knife slice it across as though
| it were a ham or a leg of lamb. The
meat is delciously tender and juicy and
is easily mistaken for the most delicate
| roast beef imaginable"
The demand for soap waters on the
part of the traveller is increasing steadi-
| ly. This demand has called forth a
| clever case for carrying the waters. it
| is made of linen a trife larger than tn"
| soap waters and fashioned like an envel-
| ope. This is a most convenient form of
| carrying the toilet articles and so COM
! pact that it takes up but little space.
| One seen recently has the owners
| initials done in colored cross-stitch, and
| the case is bordered with conventional
design in the same stitch.
When clothing has become worn so as
| to need a goodly amount of mending it is
usually unfit for anything but the COM
| monest wear, so that the quickest way
of mending it is the most sensible, says
a writer in The Housekeeper for Sep
| TENDER.
When large holes appear in the knees
| of the children's stockings pin liberal
| sized patch cut from another stocking
| leg on the wrong side and stitch on the
machine, stretching the work as you
! stitch. Trim off the ragged edges on the
| right side and fell This same method
| is also good for knitted underwear. The
patches may consist of material cut from
wornout garments, but those of I'M
| bleached muslin are soft and wear even
| better.
When large holes appear in the heels
| or feet of stockings pin piece of net
| will require only half of the usual time
| and looks we'll If the net is the same

| place.
| do double duty by watching for thin
| places and not allowing them to quite
| wear through.
IF mating or fiber carpet becomes
worn darn it with raffia and the mending
will hardly be discernible.
If one will take the trouble TO look
| into the matter for himself he will ind
that there are as many women of 60
and 20 earning their living as there are
| women under that age. Furthermore,
elderly women are offering suggestions
| to Younger ones by their individual eff
forts, a striking example of this being
Mrs. Hester Palmer, who is Y years
old and who is showing herself an up-to-
date rancher. Mrs. Palmer has a farm
of 200 acres out in the Pacific north
west, right in the heart of the yellow
pine belt in the Blue Mountain district.
| She was not doing so we'll as she thought
she should in Missouri, her girlhood
home. so she set out a short time ago
across the plains with a mule team, and,
although her ranch is somewhat removed
from the busy center of the state of
Washington the idea of being lonesome
has never occurred to her.
