Spring motor toggery has now appeared
in some OF the shops devoted to this
special style of costunling. If signs come
true this season Is to see more attrac-

have ever before been in vogue.
Some of the new straw motor hats
which are being shown for the Southern
trade are both picturesque and becom-

straw and trimmed only with a straw

in a picturesque shape is lined with dark

a poke shape and trimmed with two pink
posies, one over each ear.
The coats which are being shown for
the spring are Of pongee. dark blue serge

NOVEL PARTY GIVEN

She had grown up from babyhood on

friends suggested that the neighbors con-

Then they had a thimble party and the
linen was hemmed and monogramed. The
bride was perfectly delighted.
Try this when planning a linen"
shower. II was no more costly than
for each guest to give a separate bit of

ABOUT WATCHES
Few Know Correct Method
of Keeping.
TIME PIECE IN GOOD CONDITION
II the Owner Has Neither Fob,
Chatelaine, Nor Chain the Watch
Dress. Not Carried Loosely I'm q
Handbag rs Some Do.

A slight knowledge Of the works Of a
watch and the care it should receive
would keep many good dollars in the
pockets of people who for the slightest
cause take their watches to the jewelers.
The man who repairs watches says:
Never get into the habit of holding the
stem and winding the watch: always hold
the watch and wind the STEM
And IL notice is taken of the people
who possess watches it will be seen m
many cases they grasp 1t firmly by the
stem and proceed to twist the watch
until it Is wound or until something
breaks.
Another thing to be remembered Is that
the watch should be wound at pretty
nearly the same time every day, as 1t
is bad for a timepiece to be wound too
often or allowed to run down entirely.
Carry II in Handbag.
Many women have a habit Of carry
ing the tiny watch in their handbag.
where it knocks around. and If the bag
is dropped the watch generally stops with
an aggrieved tick.
II the owner has no fob. chatelains
or chain. then it should be pinned firm
~ to the dress. The leather wristband
is another cause of many broken springs,
since the delicate hair-iike wire is moro
than likely to break al the sharp Jar It
receives when the wrist comes IN con-
tact with one of the hundred things it
is liable to bump against.
And. lastly. once a year the watch
should be sent 10 the jewelers. to be
cleaned and regulated, and II this Is done.
and the watch handled carefully. there
will be no trouble with its works"
