Fancy Hatpin Made at Home.

Ornamental hatpins are more fash
ionable than ever this season, and the
latest fancy is to have them covered
with satin. velvet, lace, or embroidery
to match the hat with which they are
worn. Like many other dainty things,
these pins are expensive to buy, but the
girl who has clever fingers can make
them for herself quickly and easily. All
that she has to do IS to turn out her
scrap drawer and collect all the tiny
pieces of finery which have been left
over from the trimming of hats and the
making OF gowns; then she must get
some cotton wool-black or white, accord
and lastly the pins themselves, which can
he bought at four penny from any dra-
per. They are the long plain ones, which
are so convenient to Use because. being
made of steel, they are much stronger
than those of gold or silver.
Wrap the head OF each pin around in a
wad of cotton wool, which can be made
either quite small or so large that the
pin will make a decoration for the side
OF the hat. Fasten the wool in place by
a stitch or a drop of gum.
Now cut a square of silk or satin
about four inches large each way for a
moderate pin, and from five to six for a
large one. Turn down narrow edges all
around the silk at the wrong side. Run
in gauging thread an eighth of an inch
from the bottom and an eighth of an inch
from the top. Lay the wadded head OF
the pin IN between the running threads,
draw them up, fasten OF one above and
one below the wadding. close up the
opening between them with neat little
stitches and there is your pin
The same idea may be elaborated IN
any number OF ways For instance, the
tiny square OF silk tnay be trimmed with
rows of lace, which stand out In full
fur frills after the gaugfng is drawn
Or the silk may be embroidered, OF
ahmed with beads or sequins-

care he gives to such orders, seeing
that the flowers are packed In just
the right way, which simply means
that they must be covered, first in
wet paper, and then wrapped in dry
paper, which will entirely exclude the

The New Blouses.

Blouses are a necessity at any time OF
the year. and although those shown for
the winter outfit were lovely, the display

belief.

Exquisite hand embroidery and tnser-

the palmer variety ir wash silk and fine

ing enough in their way.
One smart little blouse OF rather heavy

fashion, the sleeves and blouse being one.
Beginning at the front of the blouse,
il was tucked across the front in half

Paris Fashion Hints.

From Paris comes the announcement
that the new spring lines will show trim
mings. Although up to the present time
no extreme novelty in trimming has de-
veIoped. the new lines will at least have
some braid and cotton trimming.
The new spring ribbons are expected to
be especially beautiful and artistic, and
there is certain evidence that they will
be very popular and much worn. Tea
gowns will be built entirely OF lace and
ribbons and gauzy evening cloaks will be
poems composed of the same airy stuffs.
The daintiness and richness of the ma
terials make them especially pleasing to
the eye.
There is a simple evening cloak made
of three yards of rose pink brocade, with
one side of the square caught together in
the middle to form false hood effect An
edging of gold embroidery On net and
two gilt tassels complete an evening
cloak that is everywhere admired and
that can easily be made at home.

A Beaded Scarf.

The long beaded scarf is not only easy
to make but inexpensive A little money
and time produce an attractive accessory
that will add to any indoor gowns.
Procure a piece of net the required
length and width, and a good supply
of silver or gold sequins. Draw de-
sign This should have long lines and be
flowing and graceful. Narrow at sides
and deep at ends
Lay the design underneath the net close
to the wide hem. Use silk to match the
sequins and sew them on to the net, fol-
lowing the design closely.
Silver and white and gold on black net
are perhaps the most effective combina-
tions, though silver and vivid shades
make delightful blendings for evening
wear

Filing the Nails.

When filing the finger nails go down
pretty well at the sides. Shape the nails
to rounded point when the fingers are
of the same shape. But do not give the
nails pointed shape where the fingers
are short and stumpy. This causes the
flesh to extend over the nails and gives a
bad appearance. Biting the nails is a
nervous habit, and 1t can be overcome
by having them manicured every week.
Strict attention should be paid to chill
dren who acquire the habit of biting their
nails, as they often ruin their fingers by
SO doing.

eczema, was not worried at all, as

do their work. They had sores all
over their heads, their hair would fall
out, and they would scratch all night

lady tells her food experience:
Some years ago l suffered from

food, added to a great grief.
II was ordered to give up my work,
as there was great danger Of my mind
failing me altogether. My stomach
was in bad condition nervous dyspep-
STA, think now and when Grape
Nuts food was recommended to me,
had no faith in 1t. However, I tried
It, and soon there was marked i'm.
provement in my condition.
Il had been troubled with faint
spells, and had used stimulant to
revive me. found that by eating
Grape-Nuts at such times was re-.
lieved and suffered no bad effects,
which was a great gain. AS to my
other troubles-nervous prostration,
dyspepsia, etc.-on the Grape-Nuts diet
they soon disappeared.
II wish especially to call the atten.
ton Of Office girls to the great benefit
l derived from the use Of Grape Nuts
as noon luncheon. l was thoroughly
tired Of cheap restaurants and ordin.
airy lunches, and SO made the expert.
ment Of taking package of Grape
Nuts food with me, and then slipping
out at noon and getting a nickel's
worth of sweet cream to add to 1t.
Il found that this simple dish, fin.
ished off with an apple, peach, orange,
or bunch Of grapes made lunch fit
for king, and one that agreed with
ME perfectly.
Il throve so on my Grape-Nuts diet
that did not have to give up my work
at all, and in the two years have had
only four lost days charged up against
me.
