be looked for made of all sorts of fasci-
mating thin stuffs. for once the fichu idea
is exploited it will not be confined to any
one type of dress.
Already accessories of the kind are
shown in dainty muslins, tulles, and the
like. and it is probable that they will
make a feature of spring and summer
dress.
Exuuisite Bead Fabrics.
The beaded fabrics and the beaded
robes and blouse patterns are really
more beautiful than 1t is easy to ex-
press. For the most part, materials are
of the thinnest possible, marquisette and
chiffon being favorites; but there are
many novelties introduced in the way OF
treatment and beads of almost every COL
or and sort are being used. The ready
to-make robes and blouses are made
with the beads sewed on over patterns,
some simple. some intricate; but there
are also materials by the yard being
shown which are scattered all over with
beads of the most scintillating sort, and
these beads are applied by means OF
process and are not sewed with needle
and thread. Steel is much used for these
latter and gives most brilliant results.
Gold beads and colored beads are seen,
but crystal beads are faYorites on dainty
materials and jet and the dull white
ones, that are known as milk beads,
are those of most general use.
Novelty is found in combinations OF
embroidery with beads, and wonderfully
beautiful robe patterns are exploited that
are finished with wide bands composed

Nowadays, when so many women are
wearing such quantities of false hair In
the shape of switches, puffs, and curls-
one wonders when gazing upon the elao-
crate coiffures built with this store
hair" why women generally do not take
better care of all this expensive beauty.
1t is a great mistake to imagine that
the false hair one wears does not need
as much care and cleansing as does the
hair that really is fastened to ones own
cranium Indeed, it is as insanltary ana
unhealthful to wear false hair without
cleaning it for several months as IL
would be to allow that many weeks OF
dust and dirt to remain in ones own
natural hair without the good shan-
pooning. Still. hundreds of women VINO
are most careful to keep their own locks
in a good state of cleanliness and daint-
mess will allow their false puffs to go
weeks without a cleansing bath
Probably each hair dresser has his or
her own favorite way or recipe for the
cleansing of the false locks, but the
method most usually used is the benzlne
or gasoline bath. Gasoline, so many
claim. is the best for cleaning false hair,
yet even this is disputed by others For
the gasoline bath fill basin ana rinse
and soak the pieces in the gasoline, De-
ing careful to do the work thoroughly
so that not a bit of dust or dirt remains
in the hair. Be careful, too, not to do
the work where there is fire or lights, or
even in a close room. The open air is
always best When the hair is perfectly
clean hang it for a time in the open air
and all odor will soon evaporate.
SponginE with Alcohol.
Another way is by sporging the pieces
with alcohol. which does fairly well If
the hair is not too dirty, but never allow
yourself to use the dry cleaning process
suggested by some people, namely, that
of cleaning with cornmeal or orris root,
as this method causes the false hair,
which in the first place is entirely lack
ing in oil. to become so dry, harsh and
brittle that it soon breaks on and thus
wears out quickly.
. One of the most successful hairdress-
ers in the city approves of no method
save plain soap and water for the cleans
ing of false pieces. A good washing IN
soap and water is better for the hair,
she declares, and when the work is well
done the hair looks more natural than
by any benzine or gasoline process.
When asked if the hair would not
fade more by the soap and water bath,
she declared not
According to her ideas. a good sham-
roo bath is much more cleanly and does
rot harm or fade the hair any more than
anv of the other methods. The trouble,
she saws is that novices doing the work
dc not rinse the hair sufficiently after
the good soap and water scrub. For
grav or white switches she uses good
warm water and white soap. and after
thoroughly rubbing the dirt out, rlnses

TIMELY TOPICS DEVOTED TO FEMININE INTERESTS
VALENTINE GAME
FOR YOUNG FOLKS

The fourteenth of February is an ap-
propriate day for young peoples party.
The spirit of the patron saint of lovers
hovers in their midst and bids them re-
joice and be happy while they may. A
form OF entertainment with valentines as
the keynote seems to be essentially
American, for in England, / understand,
st. Valentine is outwardly on the wane.
though inwardly he controls hearts as of
yore.
Let us commemorate him with a new
game invented specially in his honor
entitled Progressive Valentines"
Tables must be arranged and numbered
as for bridge or whist drive, according
to the players, four at each table. The
head table, No Gf sixteen are playing
is labeled Love and Matrimony." the
lowest is called Single Blessedness."
On every table there are four stout
pieces of cardboard, each mounted with
large heart cut from foolscap paper
having columns ruled horizontally. Red
glass-headed steel pins are provided and
in the center dice and dice-boX. A bell
is on the matrimony table.
Played with Dice.
The object of the game is to throw
the highest number with the dice, each
throw being recorded by sticking the pin
into the corresponding number Of lines
on the foOlscap, similar to the children s
| race game played on board. each line
being counted as one point. The columns
are only to divide the lines, so that il
high numbers are thrown there will be
sufficient lines on the heart for scoring
purposes.
The position each player takes at the
| table is determined in novel fashion. II
sixteen are playing Ceight ladies AMI
! eight gentlemen), eight red paper heats
are cut out and eight blue.
Four red hearts are numbers respec-
lively l. . 3, 4. and are put into a bag
with four blue hearts marked in like man.

red hearts are numbered up to four, and

large portion of the design being worked
entirely with the beads.
Tunics Are Beautiful
Tunics that are ready to be made and
worn over gowns of thin material are
very beautiful and numbers of them
show gold on white. steel on black, white
on black. and similar combinations
Small beads are largely used but combi-
nations of the small round ones with
busles are seen, and the effect is an al
together desirable one. Bulgarian colors
are to have great vogue. A lovely blouse
is made of white marquisette, embroid-
cred in Bulgarian colors, part of the
work being silk and part beads, and the
beads are shaded to exactly match the
varying cOlors of the silk used for the
design
Undoubtedly satin is to make feature
of the spring styles. A great many street
costumes of that material are being
shown. The thinner and lighter weight
silk fabrics are shown with satin finish,
dinner costumes of satin are much ex
plotted. and long coats of the material
are promised great favor. Black is a
favorite. but colors also are seen. An
unusual imported model is made of black
satin with what is known as the 'CitO-
yennee" bolero coat combined with
draped skirt. In addition to showing one
of the many uses to which satin is put.
it also exempliies the curious combina-
tons of style which are to be noted.

hats that are wonderful in their soft
ness of texture and beauty OF coioring.
The crowns are very high. There Is
tendency to flare away from the face,
either at the front or side. Flowers OF
different colors are combined on one
shape. deep pink and lavender being the
favorite color scheme.
Black and white combination are
much in vogue in the new millinery.
Much importance is given ostrich feathers
as trimming. The ingenuity of the mil
liner seems to be inexhaustible. These
feathers are punched together in a
'.panache:" they are fashioned into a
wheel or spiral; they are even formed
in star of a fountain which we call
let deau-' And perhaps the most ef-
fective disposition of ostrich feathers is
that which places them as fringe

After an umbrella has been in use Tor
a short time. put drop of oil in the

it will not be difficult to calculate the
quantity likely to be required. This meth
cd is a most easy way Of scoring. and no
calcuIa tons are needed beyond counting
up the different hearts in the possession
of each player at the finish.
After the prizes have been awarded
supper is served. Here a pretty little
ceremony can take place. A tray Is
handed around to the gentlemen con-
tanning trifies-china cupids, heart-shaped
boxes or pin cushions, anything a la st
Valentine. Each man makes a selection
and presents it to the lady he wishes to
make his valentine for the time-being'
that is. his choice as a partner for supper.

The Ubiouitous Kimono Sleeve.

The japanese sleeve is TO be carried on

lengths, varying from short capes in
evening gowns to three-quarter lengths
in othRr dresses.
Its lower edge can be bell shaped,
straight, or modified in square and
pointed lines Buttons. embroidery, and

Generally the kimono sleeve fits over
an undercuff of lace or embroidery. This
subcuff- should be edged with a piping OF
