WOMAN HAS CLEVER SCHEME.
Possible Accidents to Costumes, No
Matter What Their Color, Are
All Provided For.

At one of the debutante teas the
hostess, a woman noted for her fastidi-
Gus dressing, tore her gown so badly
that repair was necessary. A friend
accompanied her TO her room to sit
and chat while the mending was go
ing on. The maid brought out a sew
ing case filed with needles threaded
with silks and cottons of all colors. 1t
took but a moment to select the re-
quired color and the repairs were
quickly made The guest thereupon
remarked on the advantage Of having
threaded needles ready at hand. The
hostess proudly admitted that this was
her own brilliant idea, as it made her
nervous to see a maid try and try
again for a needle eye when she was
hurried She says she not only has
stock of needles threaded in black and
white, but on the day a colored frock
is worn needles are threaded in that
color and placed in the workbasket.
It takes only few minutes on a bright
day to thread needles and the system
really saves time, eyesight and, most
precious of all, patience.

BLACK AND WHITE COSTUME
Idea That Really Never Has Lost
Favor Comes With New Versions
OF the Mode.

Black and white costumes 1t seems,
have been revived, though probably
few have ever been able to- discover
that they were in need OF any such
process. A smart new version of the
mode may be seen in suit onsisting
of white linen skirt and a black
taffeta coat, in Russian blouse style,
which is adorned with Write linen
buttons and buttonholes bound with
white linen. Another striking black
and white combination is in a gown
of oyster white satin. the skirt Of
which opens in front to show an up
ward turning point of black satin.

there is, except in the girdle, which is
of black velvet. A hat that world be
altogether stunning worn by the tight
woman Is a wide black straw Of
graceful lines, which is entirely COW

of white chiffon. The trimming is
fiat mass of pure white roses.

The Livinu Room.

In choosing chairs for the living room
the individual requirements of the
members of the family should be re-
membered, so that when the family is
gathered together there will be com
Portable spot for each member.
The curtains, too, should be chosen
in accordance with the needs and de-
sires of the family
Since the living room is always
where the privacy of home life is en-
joyed, the curtains should, if neces-
sary, serve as protection from passers-
by
On the other hand, the room will
probably require all the light possible.
A happy arrangement is often made by
having upper and lower curtains. Such
sash curtains are made in two tiers
and hung on two sets Of brass rods,

or both, can readily be drawn aside.

Cooperative Unions Are Established
That Lend Them Money for Pro-
ductive Purposes.

With the help of the Jewish Agrlcut
tural and Industrial Aid society three
cooperative unions have been recently
established, one in Fairfield county,
Connecticut, one in Rensselaer, county,
New York, and the third in Ellington,
Conn.
These credit unions are established
in connection with the Jewish Farm
ers' associations in those places. which
are branches of the Federation OF Jew
ish Farmers of America. The farmers
in each branch raised $500 by selling
shares, and the Jewish Agricultural
and Industrial Aid society loaned
1000 to them at a low rate OF inter
est
The management of the credit unions
is entirely in the hands of a board OF
directors, who are elected by the farm
ers
The money is loaned to farmers Tor
productive purposes on easy payments
and with small rates of interest. While
in Germany, Italy and other European
countries the credit unions have been
in existence for many years and were
found to be very helpful to the farm
ers and small business men, In this
country this is the first attempt

Narrow Belts Smart.

While wide girdlelike belts are fash
ionable. there is something chic and
smart about the narrow belt which the
former lack.
Black patent leather belts one and a
half inches in width are popular.
These are decorated with a buckle to
match, or one of antique silver. Plain
stitched cloth belts to match the suit
are also worn Sometimes these are
trimmed with tiny white buttons ar
ranged in a design at the back.
Narrow satin belts are in demand.
Some are made of contrasting color
from that used in the dress.
Suede and leather belts are made in
all widths desired, and in every color.

Dainty Dresser Cover.

For a dresser cover, take three en-
broidered handkerchiefs, sew a row OF
insertion around each one; then Join
them together, and put a narrow lace
around all; line with any preferred
color of cambric, tacking at each cor
ner so it can be easily removed for
laundering. Put at each corner a bow

They pushed on hour after hour, as
long as daylight lasted Or they could
perceive the faintest trace to follow.
Already half-convinced that he knew
the ultimate destination of the fugi-
tives, Keith yet dare not venture on
pressing forward during the night, thus
possibly losing the trail and being
compelled to retrace their steps. 1t
was better to proceed slow and sure.
Besides, Judging from the condition OF
their own horses, the pursued would
be compelled to halt somewhere to
