NEW JEWELRY And
WHEN TO WEAR 1T
Women of Good Taste Wear Few
Jewels.

French women differ very much in
their use Of jewelry. Some simply cover
themselves with every glittering trinket
they can afford at all times, and In no
matter what costume
It is quite a common thing to see ape
tite bourgoise in bicycling costume lunch
ing at a country inn with every finger
covered with rings and the. front Of her
blouse plastered with pendants, brooches
and chains. Under her felt hat. with Its
severe wing. will show glittering combs.
and hanging from her bag will be a
dozen useless breioques. She feels happy
that way, so let her wear them. but one
can hardly call IL good taste.
On the other hand, many of the very
best dressed women in Paris scarcely
wear any jewels at all, and those OF
such simplicity that they are not no.
ticeable.
In the first place. a woman OF taste
wears only those jewels which have
raison d'etre. Her hatpins will be in an
artistic design in silver. gold or plat
mum and stones.
One was seen the other day which imi-
tated a wild parsley flower in fine dull
silver. and in the heart Of It cleaned
tiny topaz. just as one finds in the real
flower agleaming bit of color.
Only Needed Brooch Worn.
II she wears a brooch II is to pin some
lace into place; II a pendant. 1t is to
give note OF relief to a corsage; II a
watch. It will be to tell the time; and
the latest thing is to have this useful
treasure set in platinum. with a ring OF
tiny diamonds or pearls round the face,
and then have 1t fixed to a narrow gray
suede wristband. or a black watered silk
band. fastened with platinum buckles.
Her rings will be chosen to suit the
other Jewels she wears, and sometimes
she will wear none. In evening dress she
only wears those jewels which befit the
occasion.
II it be first night at the opera she
will put on her finest: II 1t be a simple
dinner party to be followed by theater,
quite privately, she will wear a jeweled
aigrette, perhaps necklet. and brace
lets, If she happens to find they suit her
gown.
With tailor-made she would avoid
any jewels beyond the watch and hat
pins. and with her afternoon gowns she
goes as far as a string of pearls or
pendant. a jeweled handbag. and per-
haps bracelets; but always she Is most
careful to choose those stones and de-
signs which harmonize with her costume,
so that there shall be no shock to the
eye of the casual observer. for the first
thing she aims at In her dress is har-
mony.

Little Suggestions
Worth Remembering

Usually a rubber plant grows straight
up in one stalk. To make it throw out
numerous branches take a sharp knife
and cut the stalk about six inches from
the top. then take little mud and
place it over the end of the stalk and
tie a little piece of cloth over 1t in
order to prevent the mud from sliding
off. This will prevent the plant from
bleeding to death" AS a result the
plant will put forth new shoots all the
way up the stalk. Take the part that
was cut of from the top and plant IT
in another pot. This will take root and
you will have another rubber plant If
it is given plenty of water. If the leaves
are washed with clean water occasion
ally they will shine and the plant will
be healthier.
When creaming potatoes cut them
cold boiled: then sprinkle generously
with flour and mix all together. Add
the amount Of cold milk desired and
put all on the fire to cook. AS it heats
stir gently. 1t will thicken without
humps and De smooth and creamy. This
does away with the disagreeable task
of making thickening. and the whole is
completed in half the time and with
half the work. The same method may
be used when frizzling beef or cream
ing turkey. chicken, or Goldfish. The
same principle applies when making
cocoa. 1t is not necessary to melt the
cocoa before adding it to the milk If
you put the Ingredients together before
heating.

cellent thing to have in a corner of the

MUST CUT EXPENSES TO
PAY FOR WIDER SKIRTS

With the promise Of wider skirts from
Paris the cost of each homemade win
ter suit will naturally be increased a
little, as the new skirts will most likely
take a half yard more Of goods than Is
now required to make the fashionable
skirt. This does not sound like very
much. but II there ARE many suits to
be made in one family this wider width
In skirts will make some difference
with those who have to be careful
about just such little things
However. We must have winter suits.
and so the extra money to be spent
must be cut off in other ways, but
don't start with the table, as that
should always be the. last thing to
economize on, unless. Of course, We are
noted for over extravaganza in that

Way to Take Grease Out.

Many times grease is dropped through
accident on table or floor. Few people
know that instead of trying to mop up
the grease with cloth a splendid way
to take this grease out is to pour ice
water over the spot so as to harden 1t
and prevent the grease from getting
into the wood. After the grease has
become hard II can all be scraped of
without any trace OF II, remaining on
the table or floor as the case may be.

MOTORISTS MUST
PAY WHEEL TAX OR
FACE POLICE COURT
Delinquents Will Have Until
End of Week to Set
Lsa tie Bills.

Owners of automobiles who have not
paid their wheel tax may expect a sum-
mons to appear in the Police Court, ac-
cording to an announcement of W. p.
Richards, assessor of the District to-
day. Under the law providing for the
collection of a tax on automobiles OF
So for each machine seating two per-
sons, and 81 additional for each addi-
tlonal seat, Assessor Richards has sent
out 1000 bills, 200 of which have been
paid. The delinquents, Mr.. Richards
said today, will be given until the end
of the week to settle their obligations,
and IL the bills are unpaid at that time
Will be summoned to appear in the
Police Court. The penalty for non
payment of the tax is q fine of not
more than $500.
The announcement by automobilists
of an intention to appeal TO the Su-
preme Court for a decision as to the
constitutionality of the law under which
the tax is assessed, will not interfere,
he said, with the efforts of the office
for it's collection.
The law was tested in the Police Court
in the case of LIE Roy Mark, resulting
in q verdict in favor of the District,
which was affirmed by the Court of APP
peals. Following the verdict of the
Court of Appeals, Assessor Richards be-
gan Immediately to prepare to collect
the tax.
The wheel tax was first authorized
in the District appropriation bill ap-
proved March 3, 1909. No penalty was
provided, however, and on account OF
the difficulty in enforcing the law, an
amendment to the license law of 1902,
providing for a fine of not more than
$500, was included in the District ap.
propriation act approved May IS, 1910.
The sightseeing companies were, ac-
cording to the Assessor, among the first
to pay the tax, amounting to SIS and $2C
on each automobile, according to the
number of seats.
