OF INTEREST TOWOMEN
SPRINGS FASCINATING
BARGAINS INSTHE SHOPS
By DOROTHY AVERY HOWARD

The muzzling OF the dangerous hat
pin has been a mooted question for
some time. Many women seem to
have formed a violent antipathy to
using a shorter pin OF to hiding the
point They seem to think there is
much ado about nothing, and, not
withstanding repeated warnings, they
persist in appearing in public using
hatpins which have sharp steel points
protruding an inch or more beyond
the crowns.
Hatpins sometimes have proved of
better use than merely to secure TO
the coinure a picturesque millinery
creation, as in the case of the woman
who was attacked by thief and
drew a hatpin like a stiletto upon the
coward in self-defence, routing him
utterly. But they often prove dan
gerous to innocent parties, IL having
been only few weeks since q man in
New York died from blood poisoning
caused by the scratch of a hatpin dur
ing a rush in a crowded street car. A
little invention called the lucky clutch,
is intended to prevent such accidents
as this, and also the loss of valuable
pin. 1t is rightly named, being of sill
yer or gold plate. which clutches the
point with a secure hold and is so
small as to scarcely be noticed. 1t

had at the special price of Is cents

street, between Twelfth and Thir-
teenth streets.

The appearance at drug store in

the newly manufactured paper tow
els is a boon to long-suffering hu-
manity. We have read about the
towels, intended especially for use in
Offices where many men (and women),
with divers degrees of germs on their
hands, use the same towels daily or
weekly, as the case may be. With the
installation of the new paper rolls,
there need be no further excuse for
this dissemination of germs, since so
cents will buy 200 towels. When these
have been used up there is none of
the bother of gathering up the Soiled
ones for the laundry, let alone the
payment of a penny each for even a
hand towel, for a telephone order

HELPFUL HINTS.

When boiling a suet pudding place an

This will prevent the pudding from stick

Often in breaking an egg 1t opens un-

nicely.
