SOMETHING NEW
THE DUSTLESS BUSTER

The dustless duster looks like
black cheesecloth. BY chemical
treatment, the fabric is made
to absorb dust and not TO part
with 1t except by the use OF
soap and hot water. This
makes IL far superior to the
ordinary cloth which collects
dust in one part OF the room
and distributes it in another
The new material is good for
cleaning hats and velvet col
lars, and for the general uses or
a soft clothes brush.

fur-trimmed street gowns. These are
in broadcloth in black and colors,
richly braided and trimmed with deep
bands of skunk or Alaska sable, as
this fur is often called.
Golden flowers and jeweled butter
flies are the favorite trimming for the
modern ball gown.

Poem Requested.

Poem Requested
The following poem. the title OF which
is unknown 20 me, has been requested
by a reader. As il is so short. I am
publishing il in this department:
II 1 can live
To make some pale face brighter, and
10 give
A second luster to some tear-stained
eye,
Or cen impart
one thrOb or comfort 10 an aching heart,
or cheer some wayworn soul in pass
ing by;
If l can lend
\ strong hand TO the fallen. or defend
The right against a single envious
strain,
My life, though bare,
Perhaps, Of much that seemeth dear and
fair
To US of earth, will not have been
in vain.
The purest joy
Most near to heaven, far from earth's
alloy
Is bidding cloud give way to sun and
shine:
And twill be well
If on that day of days the angels tell
OF me. she did her best for one OF
Thine.

OSTRICH FEATHERS
USED FOR TRIMMING
Made Into Bands, Fashionable Fad
Adds TO Charm of
Wraps.

Together with velvet and fur. another
trimming has been revived this fail for
the benefit of the fashionable maiden
bands Of ostrich feathers. Very light
and fluffy this trimming is and, of
course, very expensive also. Il has not
the warm appearance of maraboU, nor
the heaviness Of fur. and therefore Will
probably be much in favor among the
elite of fashion until late in the season.
One charming evening cloak seen re-
Gently was Of Persian silk under chif-
fOn. and the hmOnO sleeve and the
sailor collar were edged with black OS-
triCh feathers. The big picture hat
worn with this cloak was, of course,
trimmed with plumes also.
Naturally, il is not the dropping VIII
low plume that IS used, but the partly
curled clinging ostrich feather. The
trimming need not be so Tuinously ex-
pensive as IL sounds, as most OF us
have old plumes Of one sort or another,
perhaps short lengths no longer posi-
bic 70 use in any other way, and these
can well be utilized by making feather
edgings and landings Of them. Ger
tainly the trimming is very modish-
quite the last word in smartness, in
fact.
