often because it needs oiling, and an
easy way to oil it is to saturate a
piece Of absorbent cotton and place 1t

Old bed spreads are useful for many

enough is good, one for a dining table,
The smaller pieces may be made
double and used as bath mats. The
small pieces make fine wash cloths;
so every bit may be used.
A small-sized baking powder can,
with few holes punched in the bot

can be used to chop potatoes while
they are frying

little longer in the back. The adj

three-quarter length, is rumOred froR

year at least hip-length Jackets are
considered the correct length.
Silk velvet is used for facing the
deep collars, wide reyers and cuffs, il
many instances forming simulated pet

JUDGED BY THEIR CLOTHES
Smart Cigar Store CLERK Ready With
Apology That by No Means
Mended Situation.

Herman Fellner tells this story on
himself, according to the New York
correspondent of the Cincinnati Times
Star. He was in Washington on bust
ness recently and met three or four
friends on the street. After a mo-
ment's chat he beckoned them to
come with him. I'm off the stuff"
said he, but want to buy you each
a cigar"
They happened to be IN front Of a
combination cigar and news stand at
the moment. Led by Mr. Fellner, they
all trooped In. The clerk hurried to
the cigar case to wait upon them. Be-
fore Mr.. Fellner could indicate his
wishes the clerk had slapped a box
on the glass case. Here y are" said
he. Best dime smoker in town.
Mr.. Fellner is sort of fussy about
his smokes. He looked at the cigar
then showed the box away. Have
you no other price," he asked.
The clerk showed the box in the
case. Sure thing" said he. My mis-
take and your treat"
Having pulled off this time-worn
witticism, he addressed Mr. Fellner
confidentially. Your clothes sort of
fooled me-" said he You fellers are
a pretty well-dressed lot, you know"
Then he put another box on the count
er. Here" said he, lis the best

WHITE HAVING GREAT VOGUE
Striking Novelties Shcwn in This
Most Approved of All Colors for
the Winter.

Among the most striking novelties
of the season are the gowns and tail,
ored costumes of white corduroy,
cloth or serge. While corduroy suits
are made with little trimming other
than buttons and clever manipulations
of the material itself. Little panels in
which the thick ribs run horizontally
make surprisingly effective dccora-
tons On the cloth costumes corduroy
is often seen in collars, cuffs and but
tons. Among the more unusual white
cloth suits is one with bands Of wide
black silk braid running straight
around the skirt and sleeves and
adoTuing the large collar and reyers.
One Of the handsomest of the white
cloth gowns has a plain skirt, with a
row Of buttons Of the same material
down the left side Although the lines
Of the skirt are of the straightest and
it has the appearance in front Of be
ing almost extremely narrow, there is
a single big pleat in the back that
gives it considerable actual width.
The waist of the gown is Of a coarse
handmade lace, with a wide collar
and cuffs Of the cloth. There is a
rather wide, shaped, stitched cloth
belt, which is broken in front by the
lace of the waist coming over it. A
little satin vest and a stock, cascade
and undersleeves Of fine creamy lace
complete the dress.

you're being deceived"

earnestness and absolute simplicity.

nv VERY season brings out many
ID things new and strange in fancy
- feathers. AS rule these feath-
er pieces are beautiful because
the feathers from which they are
made are beautiful to start with, and
because the designers of feather trim

A successful piece means a great de-
mand, which spells profit for the

There is nothing better than a piece
