Overhaul your wardrobe and find
out just what you have.
There is your winter suit. You feel

ford another? Let's look it over care

many times. When the hem of your
cloth gown cuts out take very sharp
pair Of scissors, insert at the largest
hole and cut the edge Of the hem
through very exactly, so that there
will be no jagged spots. Turn both
the edges this gives in toward each
other, the inner ones little more
than the outer or dress edge, and
baste carefully. Then slip stitch by
hand. dampen and press. Remove the
basting threads before the final press
cutting them frequently so that there
will be no pulling. After pressing sew
on good quality Of mohalr skirt
braid, letting it come below the edge
and be sure that this braid has been
shrunken, or at the first wetting the
hem will all wrinkle.
But before going any further 1t will
be we'll to clean all spots from the
suit before attempting any further
renovation. The coat is perhaps the
most difficult matter. 1t is doubtless
too long and has the long shawl collar
Of the past season, but it is not hope
less. Cut the coat to becoming
length, a little below the hips Fit
closely about the hips, then use the
material cut from the coat to make
the new sailor collar and wide lapels
Have the entire suit pressed thorough

and fashionable garment.
The smart suit pictured offers ex

brown and tan silk which makes the
upper part Of the skirt and peasant

For OilX Skins.

When ones skin is oily do not try to
conceal it by excessive use Of powder.
1t makes the face pasty and clogs the
pores.
There are various drying lotions that
are excellent for this condition. Wip-
ing off the face with pure alcohol has
a drying effect on the skin. Various
good lotions are sold for this purpose,
but teaspoonful of borax in a basin
Of water is excellent.
If you fear pure borax try this To-
ton: One tablespoonful Of powdered
borax, two tablespoonfuls Of glycerin
and quart of camphor water. Dip a
soft linen cloth In this and mop the
face several times day.
Do not make the mistake of using
spirits of camphor, which is diluted in
alcohol and much stronger. Camphor
water is made by letting two ounces
Of gum camphor stand in water for
twenty-four hours, The lump can be
used repeatedly, as its size is little de-
creased.

"Now we're busy teaching women
to be hobble headed" said woman
who takes care of the hair. with
the hobble skirts the old style Of hair
dressing looks funny. 1t gives wo.
man top heavy look to have her hair
dressed high with a pompadour and
puffs while her skirt is drawn In
around her feet in hobble fashion. So
we devised the hobble headed hair
dressing.
ITO dress your hair hobble style you
take 1t and part it In the middle.
Then you drape 1t back from the face
in some soft way, and finally you
bunch 1t at the back in big mass,
around which you twist coll Of hair
or band of ribbon or anything else
that may strike your fancy. This
makes the hobble.
"While hobble may sound awk-
ward for the head, it is really the most
becoming coiffure we have had In
years, for 1t does away with the top
heavy chorus girl pompadour and
makes woman's head look more
nearly ideal. Her head keeps its
shape, and the knot at the back sug-
gests to the animated that it is mere.

Storheek, South African to BE Groom
ed For Chance at Jack johnson.
New flstic phenoms are springing up
all over the world, eager for chance
at Jack Johnson. The latest one is
John Storbeck, the South African am
ateur champion, who recently arrived
in England. The new candidate for
championship honors is big, young
Boer farmer, who won the English
amateur championship In few
punches last spring, beating the best of
them In hollow style. Storbeck is twen-
ty-one years old, stands fully six feet
one inch and weighs when fit about
POS pounds. He is a game, hard hit
ting fighter that, with some expert,
ence, may make things troublesome
for the white men who have designs
on johnson. Storbeck has never fought
professionally, but in trial bouts
against the best pros that have visited
the Cape has more than held his own.
This search for a white man is 60
ing to prove narrowing game, and
more than one reputation Is going to
be blasted before success has perched
upon the banner of the knight errant.

A Toilet Economy.

The particular hostess now uses in
dividual pieces Of soap in her guest
room and gives to each new guest a
fresh piece. Where much entertaining
is done this means numerous odds and
ends Of fine soap.
One woman has hit upon the plan Of
using this for the children in wire
soap shaker, such as is found for
dishwashing. The tiniest pieces can
be thus utilized. A basin is filed with
warm water and the shaker agitated
until thick lather is formed.
Another way to use up small pieces
of fine soap is to put them into small
cheesecloth bags and use as one would
a bran or almond meal bag.

A Fashion -Tip,

"Are separate waists going outT" is
question frequently asked and is al
ways reassurlngly answered, They
are not"
Happily for the peace Of mind Of
all womankiDd, the shirt waist never
has gone out and never will.
AS long as our skies rain dust and
dirt so long does every woman feel
that after one or two wearings her
shirt waist is unfit for use and must
go to be laundered. Therefore she
makes her waists detachable and re-
joices in the fresh, crisp one that she
dons. To be sure, nothing looks cooler
and crisper than the fresh, strictly
tailored shirt waist, but to be strictly
true its looks belle II, as 1t is usually
very warm,
The hint is given that waists of con-
trasting colors are to be worn this
fall, but woe be to the wearer unless
managed with taste and skill. They
are hard to handle successfully.

LOW Shna Peril.

The constant wearing of low shoes
and slippers will spoil the shape Of
the ankles, especially if one must be
much on the feet. An exercise which
gives shapeliness to the lower limbs
consists in standing straight, hands
on hips, heels together, then rising
slowly on the tips Of the toes while
drawing in the breath; then while ex-
haIing it slowly return to the first
position, feet fat on floor. Do this
every morning and, evening for ten
minutes; also as much as you can
wear high laced boots, drawing the
laces as snugly as comfort viii per-
NIT. Draw them in by degrees, not
all at once. -

Doesn't Know Her Age.

There Is glarng phase Of unfair
ness in the position Of the two sexes,
despite all our struggles for the suf.
frage. A woman still breads to tell
her age. no matter how youthful she
may look, while as long as man
looks youthful he is generally willing
to admit and even to boast of how
many milestones he has passed. There
Is at least one father who understood
this problem in time and who gave
his daughter fair chance in life by
never letting her know how old she
was. He realized at her birth that
time would come when she would not
want to tell her age, and he spared
her the humiliation Of having to pre-
varicate, so she was never told either
her age or the place where she was
born. and there were no birth records
preserved In the family.

Brows that meet over the nose usually

When the arch is but slight the fore

MIGHTY POOR ADVICE

When James A. Patten announced
his retirement from the Chicago board
Of trade the other day, he gave as a
reason his desire to devote more time
and attention to his wife. adding the
following bit OF advice:
Every man ought to have two
courtships In his existence. The
first, of course, when he Is winning
his wife. Then should come the
years of struggle in making enough
money TO support her and their chill
dren. Then he ought to go back to
counting his wife again and showing
his children how good a father he can
be-"
And that's just the reason why
countless numbers OF divorce cases
are heard every day: why hundreds
OF thousands OF broken-hearted wives
are sitting In lonely solitude. waiting
for the time when husband and father
will have time from his money-chas-
ing game to show them what lover
like husband and kind father he can
be"-after he has corralled enough
dollars.
And sometimes the wife that was
courted and won dies In the interim.
How about the second courtship then,
Mr.. Patten?
Maybe the children have been called
into eternity by the Creator before
The Detroit times., 1910-06-06

the last Of your millions are piled up?
Or married and building nests for
themselves?
Showing them how good father
you can make" would not be timely.
Then they would want to see now
good a grandfather you can be.
Why bury your affections during all
the years you labor for money?
All the wealth OF a Croesus wouldn't
pay you for the lost years OF oppor-
tunity to love and be loved by those
nearest and dearest to you.
Better-a thousand times better
that there were more love and less
money in the home during the period
described by Mr.. Patten as "a mans
money-making time. between his two
courtships."
Sometimes this happens: The once
young wife grows old, feeble, wrinkled
and gray, and the husband, still In his
prime as mems lives are measured,
begins TO compare her whitening
charms with the blooming youth or
Dolly Dimples first row. second
blond, much to the detriment OF the
wife who made over dads old pants
for little Willie In their earlier days.
There too often follows divorce
from little willie's mother and Sc
cond courtship with
Dolly Dimples.
