NEWS NOTES FROM
PARISIAN SHOPS

Bows on Paris model hats are most
Voluminous affairs and ten yards Is not
an exaggerated amount to use. Old-fash-
ioned grossgrained ribbon and heavy dag
onal Ottoman ribbon makes stunning trim
ming bows, especially the large sprawling
wing effects and the graceful fan variety.
There is a distinct style to the ribbons
of the season. Some show no less than
three materials employed, as. for instance,
stripes of satin, plush, and velvet. Zibeline
ribbon, showing the long mapped silk
plush on one side and smooth satin in
vivid tones on the reverse comes in
widths ranging from two inches upward.
Rayo embroidery consists of numerous
little flowers whose petals are formed by
single stitches, which resemble rays. 1t
is very simple embroidery and easily exc
cuted. The different flowers are embroid-
cred in different colors of floss. which
gives a unique effect. This embroidery is
very popular just now, and much of its
beauty depends upon the colors used
tather than the work
For ceremonious wear there are fur reti-
cules with stoles or scarfs to match, the
latter so soft and supple that they may be
wound about throat and shoulders like so
much silk.
The tendency away from plain materials
is notable. One-color fabrics that have
been so long in vogue have largely given
place to mixtures of the Scotch and Eng
Ish variety.

CUT GLOVE EXPENSE BY
USING THE PROPER CARE

because it can be cleaned, but a white
glove, unless il is immaculate, is not
smart, and, as the tendency with many
Of US is to put off the cleaning, white
glov-s are perhaps not the best choice.
The right care OF gloves also does much
to prolong their life. Black gloves should
be kept in paraffin or oiled paper. A
black glove is really a white skin paint
ed. Naturally this paint will harden and
dry unless it is properly cared for. Oiled
paper keeps the air away and SO helps
keep the skin soft. Consequently it 5
not so likely to crack and the black
peel OF.
Care should also be taken in putting on
gloves. A glove should be forced on
from the finger ends 1t should never be
forced up between the fingers at their
base. This spot is the weakest place in
a glove. The leather or fabric has to be
cut here in diverse ways to give it the
proper shape, and it is further weakened
by stitching. Now, If it is pressed forci-
bly, in order to bring the fingers Of the
glove on it will be weakened and in time
rip or tear out. hork the glove finger
on from the tips, put the thumb in last,
and then pull the glove on from the
wrist.

BABY HAS DIFFICULTY IN
PLANNING HOW HE SHALL
. USE THE PRIZE OF GOLD

He had been trying the whole blessed
morning somehow to get rid of the ten
der ministrations of his mother.
He had a big decision to make, and
even babies must be alone with their
thoughts and speculations when they
solve weighty problems.
And isn't 1t strange that 1t often hap
pens when we want to be alone we have
companionship thrust upon up, and when
we are Just pining for somebody around
no one comes near?
Little Paul did not put the thought in
just these words, but that this is how
he felt I judge from the way he acted.
First, he tried being the most goody-
goody little boy in all this world. just
to make his mother understand that he
was perfectly happy and didn't need her
TO do another thing for him. He chir-
ruped like a morning lark, and gooed
until she declared he was the best-na-
tured little codger in all Washington.
Indeed, in his effort to persuade her
that he needed no maternal attention, he
made himself so attractive that 1t would
have taken a mule team to pull her away
from him.
''Goo-goo," he said, which being trans
lated means:
Cant you see that I have something
very important to think about, and that
I can't concentrate my thoughts when
you keep kissing me and smothering me
with hugs? How's a baby to weigh a
great big problem with his mother hang
ing around him every minute, I'd like to
know"
30 you little darling. You dear, happy
little boy his mother replied, for you
see, she interpreted his "goo-goo" quite
differently from the way he intended It.
Enough to Make Him Cross.
When this sort of thing keeps up, and
a mother just will not understand, even
:he best baby in the world will become
impatient.
Gracious goodness! Whatn I do?
wondered the little chap in his mind.
Here it is nearly closing time for the
Borden baby Contest, and I haven't de-
cided yet what am going to do with
that $50 in gold I am going to win for
being the prettiest baby in Washington.

NO CHANCE NOW
FOR "COLD FEET

By means Of electricity It is now pro-
posed to make the carpet, the Persian
rug, or the tigers pelt as warm in win
ter as the latter was while worn by the
tiger.
In Germany the experiment is now being
tried Of wiring the floor covering so as
to heat the carpet or rug and do away
with cold floors. A patent has been taken
out for running wires through the carpet
in parallel lines in such a way that an
ordinary lighting current can be run
through the wires. The conductor be-
comes warm and heats the carpet.
The heat in large carpets can be con-
trolled as desired and the carpet will re-
main warm for two or three hours after
the current IS turned OF. A small foot
rug can be heated and taken for comfort
during a carriage ride.
The wiring Of carpets for this purpose Is
new, but patents have been issued be-
fore for passing wires or wire gauze
through compartments in table covers,
carpets, and other coverings for lighting
purposes.

A HINT TO THE WISE
ABOUT CHRISTMAS

It is not a bit too soon to begin max
ing your Christmas gifts, the little per-
sonal offerings that one makes by hand.
In the art departments of the big
shops there is a surprising variety of
attractive stamped and made-up trifies
that require only little handwork to
convert them into suitable gifts. The
present is q good moment to make q
wise choice of these.
There are two items included under
the fancy work head which seem to
please women and which there is lit
tie danger Of duplicating, and these
are fancy aprons and bags. Any one
who has the time and can crochet well
can make up any number Of smart bags,
ranging from the exquisite ones OF fine
Irish lace, suitable for evening use, to
larger ones of heavy knotted twine, lined
with colored silk and useful for sewing
or many home purposes.
The chafng dish apron, ruined and
Of sheer material, with tiny bib, Is as
becoming q garment as a woman can
wear, and 1t appeals to a mans heart
as quickly as any results In cooking to
which 1t may have contributed.
Aprons Always Appreciated.
Every busy housewife likes little round
aprons of embroidery or dotted swiss to
protect the front Of her dress. and sew
ing aprons with pockets to hold the work
are always appreciated. A new model Of
this sort is made Of rather heavy linen,
cut round and with scalloped embroi-
cred edge. A second piece. shaped and
scolloped like the apron. Is stitched on
over this and forms the pocket for the
work. A ribbon belt matches the color
Of the embroidery.
The little schoolgirl IN her early teens
- apt to have very ambitious ideas az
to the amount OF Christmas gifts she II
to give. and generally finds It hard TO
complete them. This Is the moment to
give her some good advice. II she can
not be dissuaded from making burden
of Christmas, as her elders have done, let
her have resource to the partly finished
articles mentioned above. Here a little
labor win 20 long way, and the little
maids nerves win not be racked by the
hopelessness Of finishing her self-imposed
tasks.

II can't think between kisses. What shall
do?"
Suddenly the idea struck him that If
he walled a bit something might be &C
complished. So, without warning, he
quite astounded his mother by setting up
the most awful din ever heard in the
| house.
| 1t said: Goodness me! Can't a fellow
ever get a moment to himself? How on
earth do you expect me to run my busi-
| ness when you never give me time to
think? Here I'll be having $50 on my
/ hands without knowing what to do with
it. o my! o my!
But somehow he couldn't make his
mother understand. She thought some
horrid old pin must be sticking him so
she undressed him and dressed him again
without finding a thing that could be
causing the hullabaloo.
Opportunity Came at Last.
When he had Just about given up hope
the door bell rang and his mothers very
best friend came in to see her. The baby
was put in his go-cart and left alone a
minute for the friendly greeting that took
place in the hall.
A great hope filled his young heart, and
stopped the detected wall.
When his mother came back he was
his carriage strap so his mother sat down
by the window and chatted on merrily
with her friend.
Thank goodness murmured Paul
in succession of goos, and seeing that
he was at last going to be left quite alone
with his thoughts he turned them to the
serious business of spending $50
The prettIest baby in Washington" he
said to himself why, yes; of course
There wasn't any use OF a contest to
decide that. All The Washington Herald
had to do was to ask my papa. Whey, he
has known the prettiest baby all along;
for haven't heard him tell mother there
wasn't another kid in the District who
could touch me with a forty-foot pole
when it came to good looks.
But the $50! What'H I do with it?
Well, now, let's see.''
He raised his forefnger to his chin and
reflected deeply.
And while he was yet turning over the
business of spending $50 the camera man
came along and brought him to me.

WHEN WOMEN TRY
TO Be ECONOMICAL
They Should Steer Clear of
Naughty Milliners.
By FRANCES L. GARsIDE.

Mrs. Lysander John Appleton is a wo-
man of average stature, but when she
stepped from her door the other morning
she seemed almost a giantess in size
for she was filed with a Noble Purpose,
and there is nothing so swelling and en-
larging in its effects as Noble Purpose.
When a woman starts out with Noble
Purpose. one can almost see her grow.
Mrs. Lysander John Appleton's Noble
Purpose was a desire to economize IN the
purchase OF her fall hat.
1T is wicked and fooliSh," she said,
"for me to pay big price for a hat when
Lysander John has to work SO hard for
his money, and I need many new things
this fall I have a bird left from last
seasons hat that looks as good as new.
and some velvet l have never used.
will take them to a milliner and ask her
to use them for trimming, and all will
need to buy Is a shape"
So she started on her way, carrying the
bird as good as new and the velvet
she had never used. and as she walked
along she became enthused with a spirit
OF self-approval, and under its expanding
influence she grew taller and broader,
until passers-by on the street turned to
look at this very large woman, who.
from the exalted look on her face, plainly
had a soul as large as her body.
Mrs. Appleton entered the millinery
store and held out the bird and velvet
with which she hoped to reduce her mil
linery bill. .
They are as good as new" she ex-
planned to the naughty millIner in a voice
that began to show signs of timidity.
Then the Shrinkage Began.
las good as new! Those things as
good as newT' the naughty milliner
screamed in a voice so filled with scorn
all her assistants came running. The
idea of wanting to use old stun like

The ideaT screamed the chorus Of as
sistants in tones of contempt. The

The naughty milliner looked at the
bird as good as new, and the velvet that
had never been used, and at Mrs. Apple
ton. with such scornful amaze that Mrs.
Appleton felt the expanding influence Of
her Noble Purpose oozing out Of her.
She began to shrink and shrink and
in an apologetic whisper threw the bird
as good as new and the velvet which had
never been used into the waste basket.
IT see I was mistaken" she said timidly;
'T will be governed by your better judg-
ment."
The naughty miIliner sniffed in scorn,
and reduced Mrs. Appleton's size another
foot, and then sold her $40 hat, though
she had counted in getting on with
less than s..
The scornfuI looks OF the naughty mil
liner followed her as she left the store
and she shrank some more, and was so
reduced in size when she reached the
first crossing that a policeman lifted her
in his arms and carried her across the
street.
You are too little" he said gently,
depositing her on the walk, ito come
down town by yourself"
She had left the house a giantess filed
with a Noble Purpose, and returned so
shrunken in size that she could not reach
to the keyhole. Poor Mrs. Lysander John
and Poor Every Woman who takes a
Noble Purpose to a naughty milliner.

Gloves, as every woman knows, run
away with money. But one can cut down
their cost somewhat by careful choice
and good care.
In the choice c gloves, cape outseams
are the best for hard, everyday wear.
Cape is a good, sturdy skin, and the out
seam sewing brings the wear against the
stitching instead of against the skin.
Tan is one of the most serviceable

Graham Bread.

Mrs. Holmes-I am delighted to give
you recipe for graham bread, and will
be glad for every homemaker in WASH
ington to preserve it. The best chemists
and doctors in America declare that our
liking for fine white bread is responsible
for many of our physical weaknesses.
Flour that is bolted and rebolted loses
three-quarters OF Its nutritive qualities.

Baby Wrapper.

Mrs. l. MA warm wrapper to slip
over the baby may be made of nuns
Yelling. in pink or blue, with an under
lining of thin wadding and cheesecIoth.
The lining is held in place, the same
as a knotted comfort, by means of pink
or blue worsted and the edges are turned
together and briar-stitched.
This would prove to be a very accept
able present for baby and also a most
useful one. The wrapper should be plenty
large enough to slip over the dress.

Gift for the Bride.
Carrie CO A little personal gift for the
bride, that is unusual, is the ribbon for
the bridal bouquet.
The brides monogram is embroidered
on each end Of the ribbon.
Yellow silk, of a golden hue, should
be used to embroider the monogram, or,
If roses are carried, rose shades may be
used.

liquid remains it may be drunk from the
cup, which should be held by one of its

Orange Cake.

Cream half a cup butter with one cup
sugar, add yolks Of two eggs, half cup
milk. and half cup of orange Juice, and
a little of the grated rind, two small
teaspoonfuls baking powder sifted with
two scant cups flour. then the stffly beat
en- whites of the two eggs. Bake in lay
ers and spread with orange icing made
as follows: Boil one cup sugar with one
quarter cup water until 1t threads, then
add gradually to stiffiy beaten white of
one egg and whip, slowly adding one
quarter cup orange Juice, one teaspoonful
Of lemon Juice, and little of the grated
orange rind. Beat until thick and cream.
When washing blouses, fine handker-
chiefs, lace wells, ties, &c, put a small
lump Of orris root in the rinsing water.
This imparts a delicate violet scent to
them, much more pleasant than many
that can be achieved by q sachet.
