Coat Hanger.

When away from home one very sell
dom thinks Of taking a coat hanger
along. but to prevent the coat from
becoming creased and untidy looking
by being thrown over the back Of a
chair an emergency coat hanger may
be readily made. Roll newspaper
tightly and tie it IN the middle with
a stout cord, forming loop to attach
1t to a hook or nail This is better
than throwing the coat imply in the
nearest place, and is contrived in a
minute with the materials always at

FLOWERS TO MATCH THE EYES
New Freak of Fashion Altogether
Charming When Carried Out With
Due Consideration.

The touch of velvet near the face,
matching the color of the eyes, has
long been popular with the women
who study their own good points, and
this has been easy to manage in these
days of quaint little bows and pipings.
Of late, however, the women Of the
smart set have taken to wearing flow
ers which carry out the color, too.
There are pansies that are for the
brown eyed girl, forget-me-nots for
blue eyes and orchids for the maid
with hazel eyes
The girl with gray eyes is the only
one who has any trouble, for all she
can find to match her eyes is the hum
BILE dusty miller leaf.
Sometimes she fancies her eyes,
however, are gray blue" or green
gray" so she varies her color scheme
with orchids, mignonette or a dull
blue blossom. If she is quite con-
WINGED that her eyes are really
"matchless'' she contents herself with
the feeling of superiority arising there
from and lets the jewels OF her face
sperkle unrivaled or wears the modest
violet, which would never presume to
resemble the eyes above them.
When natural blooms are not pro-
durable the woman with an eye for
flowers buys artificial ones of the
required tint.
Partisan ingenuity has gone one
step further in this art and provides
for it's leaders of fashion real flowers
dyed with chemical dyes in any de-
sired color or shade.
Hardy flowers, such as camelias,
carnations and all varieties whose
stems are good absorbers, are placed
in the liquid and allowed to stay there
until exactly the right amount of color
has been absorbed.

To Keep Furs.

Every housewife knows what
great worry furs and wooden gar
ments are during the summer months,
when moths are so ready to destroy
any within their reach Take a five
gallon crock and after summing and
brushing the furs place them in a
the crock, then cover with a heavy
piece of wrapping paper which is
glued fast to the crock, making it
absolutely air tight and there are no
cracks or crevices for moths to enter
This can be kept in a dry cellar all
summer, or if you have no cellar or
clothes press get a large tin lid to
fit the crock and make a cover Of
cretonne and use for a corner seat
in any room, and save all worry over
moths for the summer.
