The bolero is serving a useful purpose
just now in smartening up gowns that
have become passe from age and use
This little coat is always a friend to

1t may have seen strenuous usage before
these improvements were made.
Some OF the little coats seen now with
summery dresses are made of taffeta in
flower colors, with touches of velvet to
make a contrasting note. Many such
coats are braided, for braid is used abun-
dantly again. 1t will take more than one

HELPFUL HINTS.

To remedy creaking shoes, pour some
oil into a plate, just enough to cover
the surface thinly. Place the shoes
on this and leave them all night. In
the morning you will find that the
shoes have soaked up most of the oil.
Then hang them up for day or two
to let the oil dry in. They will not
creak after this has been done.
The chief objection to mating is It's
lack of wear-resisting qualities. Now,
after tacking it one the floor one
should give it two coats of good
varnish. Then repeat this process each
time you clean house, and you. will
have a floor covering that wears like

CRUELTY TO ENGLISH WORDS.

Fearful and wonderful are the
uses to which some of our English
words are put, uses for which they
were never meant. The most con-
spicuous at the moment is the word
skating. In a Parisian's mouth a
skating is rink, and he talks of one
skating, two skatings and even a
third with unblushing ineptness.
Then there is the word smoking.
This in Paris has nothing to do with
either tobacco or opium. II merely
means a mans dinner jacket. There
is a pastry cook who makes buns on
what he believes to be an English
model, and he will sell you one SIns,
pronounced nasally, like burrs, for
four sous.
