SAVE MONEY ON STOCKINGS
Jud. cious Selection VIII Accomplish
Wonders Of Economy During
the Year.

Many women do not give much
thought to the matter OF buying stock
ings. Their cost is so little that it
would seem as II one could not save
much. even If she were careful in this
matter. But more can be saved by
,uG,cIOus selection than is thought,
and In the course of a year or so this
saving mounts up.

garter below the garter top. Some
buy the garter top stocking and then

Immediately proceeds to tear out.
Stockings without the garter top can
be made strong at this point by run
ming two or three rows OF machine
stitching where the garter fastens.
The white-foot stocking does not
wear quite so we'll as the all-black
foot. The white part is heavier than
the black part, and is apt to break

A woman who enjoys having
friends to lunch or dinner has the
happy faculty of hitting on Just the
things her guests enjoy eating For
some years she has made 1t a point
to jot down the favorite dishes of this
friend or that in a tiny note book in
her desk. When her cousin Molly is
coming to lunch she looks up her
name, and there finds recorded that
the aforesaid Molly is particularly
fond Of custard desserts of any kind:
clam is her favorite soup. and in
meats she dotes on anything cooked
en- casserole. With these hints
spread before her the matter Of plan.

Another friend has often said she
never tastes such pies as are served
by her hostess; another likes tomatoes
in any form. and still another prefers
fsh to meat.

themselves have at some time given

EMPIRE BAG HERE TO STAY
In Present Stage II Is Thing Of
Beauty and Joy Of tho
Season.

There Is no end to the variety of
form and color assumed by the ever
increasingly popular empire bag. In
it's present stage 1t is a thing OF beauty
and a joy of the season, though. being
a child Of Dame Fashion, 1t cannot be
a JOY forever.
You have no Idea how much money
can be centered on the development OF
these handsome and thoroughly charm
ing envelopes. Costly gilt ornaments
are seer on many of the more elab-
crate ones, some Of which are made
entirely OF gold, silver, copper or steel
colored lace. Semi-precious stones
are used to carry out a flower rat
tern or to highten the effect OF con-
yentional designs. Inside are trap
pings of silver, gold Or ivory, tiny
vanity cases, mirrors, powder puns.
lip pencils and the like.
Another idea hat has caught the
fancy of the woman who counts not
cost, Is an empire bag of brocade,
either velvet or satin, to match her
hat or it's trimmings. Usually this
models edged with bands OF fur, such
as mOlesk1n, PERSIAN lamb, ch1nch1lla

such ultra fashionable foibles.

Any odd piece OF silk or velvet
picked up on the remnant counter may
be transformed into a strfkfngly hand

there is a splendid chance for a dis
