she can buy a pretty and stylish one
piece dress for s10.95. doesn't it?

b. q department store in Pennsyl-
vania avenue yesterday, and l was
surprised to see how smart they were.
For you all know that a spring pat
tern in foulard, taffeta, marquisette,
or other materials now in fashion,
with the trimmings would cost that
much, and how can the manufacturer
make them up to sell at such a low
figure? Well, he didn't, but expected
them to sell from SIS to $25 apiece
when they were planned. But the
plans of both men and mice gang aft
agley, as you know, hence the Gus
toner gets the benefit of his misfor-
tune. Look them over to-day before
they are all sold and see if you don't
agree with me that they are bargains.

Interesting Collection Exhibited at

COrcoran Gallery of Art.
One of the most interesting collections
of decorative panels that has ever been
seen in Washington is now on exhibition
at the Corcoran Art Gallery.
The group consists of thirty-fve panels
painted by F. D. Millet for the post
masters room in the new federal build
ing at Cleveland, Illustrating the collec
ton and delivery of the mails all over
the world The bullock post" which
shows the method of mail delivery in
Angola. West Africa, has attracted con-
siderable attention and is unique in view
of the fact that it represents the slowest
method known to modern mail delivery.
Beside it is a panel showing the up-to-
date railway collection of the United
States.
More than six hundred persons visited
the gallery yesterday to view the ex
hibit, and to-day is expected to bring a
record breaking attendance.

CREPE DE CHINE TO
BE AGAIN POPULAR

= After a rest of a few seasons there is a
renewed popularity accorded to all the
crepe de chine that we had almost for
gotten.
1t is difficult to trace the reinstallation
in favor of a material The ordinary
outsider reasons that ''once a good ma
terial always a good material" but not
so does the designer decide So our fash
ions have cycles of fabrics as well as of
lines of colors.
At any rate, buy crepe de chine if you
can. 1t will be used for evening dresses
in combination with lace and satin. 1t
will be used for little girls dresses, for
growing ones of the high school age, and
for women whom we class as above
twenty-five years.
The field is delightfully."- wide Blouses,
perhaps. show the favoritism given crepe
de chine more than any other depart
ment OF dress. The double width mate
rial conveniently cuts the popular kimo-
no blouse and as practically two lengths
will make a blouse you can quickly cal
culate the cost. The genuine and sub
sleeves, of course, are more effective
when they are of lace or net

That Tobacco 0dor.

Every housekeeper knows how persis-
tent and disagreeables the odor of stale
tobacco smoke in a rom and how diff
cult to "air out" Yet the wise woman
puts up with the odor rather than in
terdict smoking at home. If the average
man cannot smoke. at home he will go
elsewhere to smoke. So let him have
his cigar at home and try this:
Close this room up well overnight,
with doors and windows tightly shut, and
leave in it a large pail full of water.
with a few wisps of straw. For some
reason the water and straw together alb
sorb the smoke and even take up the
odor of ashes. Needless to say, all dis
coverable ashes should previously have
been removed and thrown away.
By morning the room is odoriess and
a little airing will cool it out and put it
again in condition for use.

even when a brush is used conscientious
Iy, these parts are left untouched and
decay takes place rapidly. good way
to keep these places clean is to make a
swab by winding bit OF absorbent cot

then dip into -he tooth wash and go care

light to find how much the gums will

New Touches in Table Covers.

The latest touch in embroidered lunch
cloths is to form them of alternate
strips of lace and fine linen Filet fine
Cluny and copies of the old Venetian
laces are used for these insertions, and
a border Of lace to match completes the
cover.
This is a change from the squares of
lace and linen which have been popular
for some time.
On the handsomest cloths the strips
of linen are embroidered in a conven-
tionalized vine of satin stitch and eyelet
embroidery; and the costliest of AL have
strips of reticella, giving an open effect
that is lovely over polished mahogany.
Sometimes lining of satin in the pal
est tone of the floral decorations is used
under these lacy covers.

Gems Must Be Clean.

The beauty of precious stones depends
upon the play of light upon them and,
therefore, 1t is essential that they be kept
scrupulously clean.
Jewelry that is worn constantly cannot
look its best unless cleaned periodically
and contact with the skin tends to impair
the brilliance by depositing slight mois-
ture on the gem.
Diamonds and other precious stones
are so hard that the moisture does not
sink in: it remains on the surface and
produces a dimness and the gem can
only be returned to its pristine brilliance
by thorough cleaning
