Dark Tailored suits.

The tailor suit is without doubt the necessity of the moments and ai' though these are now to be SCOT in dark shades, Q redeeming touch of color generally relieves the soraber ef- feet which they give, while 1t lies with the milliner 10 add the crcwr, ing of brightness and chic to. tue toilette.
 The pin striped velyeteens arc ire quently to be seen in tailor costumes. but velveteen may be considered rath- CT an expensive material fer coats and skirts, as 1t rubs so easily that it soon assumes a woe-begone spnear- ance-and, surely, nothing locks half so shabby as g worn and tunbled vel veteen. For the woman who has many costumes, of course, a frook of this kind is delightful addition to herr wardrobe. although the fact That cheap, ready-rnade coats aand ' skirts are to be obtained in this material will rather prevent 1t becoming adopt. ed by those In quest of novelty.

TAKING CARE OF JEWELRY
Should Always Be Cleaned at Regular lntervals-Best Methods of
 Proceeding.

Provide yourself with an old tooth. brush and a soft brush such as jewel. CTS use, a bottle of grain alcohol and box of jewellers sawdust. You will also need a soft cloth, a piece of plain chamois thoroughly impregnat. ed with rouge powder. A few addi. tional small bits of chamois are also necessary for polishing. Then pro. vide two dishes of lukewarm suds, made with fine white soap, and your outfit is complete.
 First work on your plain, bright gold jewelry, or other material, which requires high polish. Rub gently but thoroughly with the rouge cham. ois until you bring it up to brilliant polish. Next select the gold articles, which look most difficult to you, put them in the studs and SCOUT thorough ly with the toothbrush. Practically all the dirt should come off in this process.
 When completed, rinse in a second suds to clean still better. Then dip in alcohol and give a further brush ing. Then dry carefully on a soft cloth and drop into the sawdust and rub about until they show bright luster. With the jewellers brush re- move every particle of sawdust and give the articles the degree of pol ish they ought to have, using the soft brush and the plain chamois for this purpose. The rouge chamois is the highest polisher, but 1t can be used only before an article has been washed. because it leaves rouge pow. der on the jewelry.
 All precious stones, except the pearl. will be beautiful after such a cleaning, nor will 1t dim the brill. liancy of semi-precious stones, or even of common glass limitations. It will enhance their brilliance.
 Silver jewelry that looks black will come out of this process with fine white luster and gold will be returned to Its original richness. Sterling sil- yer jewelry can also be cleaned with remarkable ease by boiling in sal soda water.
