bodice neck and sleeve bottoms-chif-
fon edged With a striking Persian cot
ton, a big holed net worked oddly
with knitting wool, ETC., while some
times the guimpe and undersleeves
are of a finely tucked silk muslin in
virginia. white. The loud effects once
observed in waists-when sleeves
were big and gaudy colors admired
are things of the past. The smart
bodice, whether shirt waist or a more
dressy affair, must have a certain
chaste simplicity. You may call the
quality maidenly, but if you know
what is what you will understand that
this appearance is only achieved by
the utmost art
A draped waist of the sort shown
in the illustration, of course, is made
in some thin texture, suited to the
folding about the figure and to the ele-
gance of the model Chiffon, marquis
cite, yelling, chiffon-satin, messaline,
mousSeline, etc, are all desirable ma
terials. There are also many airy
fabrics of a cheaper sort which, com
bined with the right trimmings,
would turn out a dainty waist of this
kind with considerable dash-and
among these may be recommended
cotton and silk jacquard, cotton wolfe,
and Powered muslin.
AS pictured the waist is of chante-
cler red chiffon, and an edge of the
same about the decolletage of the
chemisette. This detail itself is Of
white mousseline, and the lace is of
dull gold tinsel.

HANDY H0OK-AND-EYE BOX
If You Ever Hunted in Vain for Need.
ed Fastener, You Will APP
preciate This.

Have you ever hunted in vain for
the special size of hook and eye you
needed? If not, you are an abnormal
ly neat woman, or one given to but
tons or pins.
During that mad hunt through a
badly mixed box of sewing utensils
you doubtless vowed to have a sepa-
rate hook-and-eye box forthwith. Then
you promptly forgot.
The next time Immediately hunt
number of card envelopes, and on the
flap of each one sew a hook and eye
to show the size and color within. Put
these envelopes neatly in a small box
and your miserable fishing days are
over. There should be separate hold
ers for cards of hooks and eyes, de-
tached ones that have not been used
and for those that have been ripped
from dress, as is the habit of some
economical women.
Small boxes with the hook sewed or
pasted to the lid may take the place
of an envelope, but take up more room
and are less easily handled.

NEW FASHIONS IN Wells
White Ring Dot Net With Rings in
Black, Are Very
Popular.

Stylish and becoming are wells Of
white ring dot net with the rings in
black and a fine black lace border to
match.
The winters veil shows large, oct
agOnal meshes, sometimes plain, again
with big woven dots.
Care should be exercised in wear
ing the wells or the nose sticking
through the meshes gives a grotesque
appearance.
The most becoming veil is a fine
mixture of black and white. tiny black
dots on white net being better than
white on black. These have become
known as the beauty veil because
so many women wear them regardless
Of style
CoIored net wells to match hats are
shown in the shops, but conservative
women wear a black or white veil
more often than any other kind.

contain two deep shelves, and when
the sash is raised the contents of
these shelves are easily accessible.
In very cold weather the sash may be
left up, and thus the box becomes a
part of the warmed room. A sash cur
tain will conceal it from the room.
Another convenient way is to hang
a neat wooden box, well cleaned, on
strong nails or spikes outside the win
dow. A heavier box should have a
tight-ftting hinged lid and be lined
with asbestos poper to equalize ex-
eremes of temperature, while lining
of oilcloth will admit of easy cleaning.
A shoe box would be good for this
purpose. 1t might be painted the
color of the house

Watch Worn Like a Cuff Button.

Some of the smart new motor coats
have buttonholes worked in one cuff,
and in these uff-buttonholes are in
serted tiny watches which are held in
place by a curved projection at the
,back-something like the back of an
ordinary collar button. 1t is much
easier to drop the eyes to ones cuffs
to ascertain the correct time than to
stop the automobile and take out a
watch depending from chain or fob.
Another convenient watch is the desk
watch. which has thick back, slant
ed of toward the lower edge so that
the watch rests at an angle of so de-
grees. making it much easier to read
the time than when the watch face is
fat on the desk top.

The kimono sleeve is being seen in
dresses and separate waists, also In
many coats.
In dresses and waists there are the
bishop sleeve, the sleeve with little

Automobile and evening wraps show
both the peasant and the raglan

Stealing.

If child, when its mothers face Is
turned away, were to transfer secret
ly a piece of sugar from the sugar
bowl to its own mouth, the kid would
become thief under the spirit of
predatory laws OF most lands. If
when its mommer had piece of sugar
in her kind hands he grabbed and
snatched it away by violence against
his good mothers will, and then put
it in his mouth and did eat it he
would become a robber If By false
representation of the fathers wish
that kid would cause the mother with
her own hand to present the sugar to
