NOVELTY is DEMANDED
MOST STRIKING FEATURE OF
DRESS TRIMMING SITUATION.
Every Conceivable Thing That Will
Give an Air Of difference" Is EN-
pIoyed-Most Unusual Effects
Noted in Consequence.

The keynote OF the dress trimming
situation for the coming season is GER
Itainly novelty. Nothing is too differ
and the more curious the trimming the
Igreater seems to be its popularity.
Fringes are favored by the fashion
makers in Paris and Berlin. Silk ball
fringes in every conceivable style, size
and combination of color will be used
ION the more dressy costumes. Virtu-
ally all kinds CT bead fringes are in de-
Inland. from the simplest to the most
elaborate in tho medium and narrow
widths. Silk fringe will be seen on
the gowns of palmer cut.
Opalescent bead fringes, jet, black
and white and all the shades of amber
are great favorites, with gold and sill
yer for use on elaborate evening cos
TUNES and some of the handsome
wraps for evesling wear.
Colored embroidered bands are meet
ing with high favor. These come in
all widths AMI q wide variety of de-
signs. many Of them showing metallic
silk. Solid metal effects are largely
used. Gold. silver, copper and gun
metal embroidered sets at intervals
with mock jewels are wonderful in
their beauty. especially those of orien-
tai design and rich cOloring.
Jets in band embroideries and
fringes are we'll liked for trimmings
on blask and white gowns; dull jets
are seen on mourning costumes. Very
effective are the cut jet costumes with
rhinestone centers and crystal buttons
of all the conceivable colors set with
colored Jewels and rhinestones.
Some of the most unusual effects
are seen in the chiffon floral trim
innings. These are in the form of bands
OF small or large blossoms, leaves and
buds, that can be transferred to the
gown simply by catching them lightly
from underneath with rather loose
stitchery. They can be had in wreaths.

TRY TO DO TOO MUCH
ERROR MOST WOMEN MAKE
WHEN HOUSE CLEANING.
TO Lay Out a System and Do the
Work One Room at a Time 10
Better Than Upsetting
the Whole House.

Winter, with its attendant duties
In household affairs, means that the
woman who has system in her plans
will accomplish more work and have
more satisfactory results than the err
ratio, makeshift housekeeper, who
cleans because she is expected TO do
So and whose work speaks for her
incompetence.
House cleaning should not be a mat
ter to be feared, and 1t decidedly
should not disrupt the home and verify
the eating from the mantelpiece
joke.
The first rule Is to plan the time to
be given TO the work and TO do one
room at a time. This will insure
thoroughness, and will allow part
of the day for rest, sc that wreck
of a woman need not greet the home
corners at night. Most women are en-
thusiastic. and when one room is
cleaned feel that they might as we'll
go through the suite. This is the er-
ror for which they pay later on.
The easiest way when cleaning the
furniture which has been covered is
to remove the linen coverings and
place in a tub of water to which
naphtna or borax has been added
While these additions are doing the
washing for you the furniture should
be taken out Of doors and thoroughly
brushed with a stiff brush. If the
covering be durable, a beating with
rattan beaten should be given.
The woodwork should be wiped of
with warm water and chamois.
Paints should be cleaned, and you
have no idea what an extra coat OF
enamel on white paint or varnish or
other wood will do.
Wallpaper can be cleaned by wip
ing it with breadcrumbs. Art gum
or kneaded rubber will do this work
as also will bread dough that has mo-
much lard in 1t.
Carpets or rugs after a thorough
cleaning can be frightened by wip
ing over the surface with water t
which ammonia has been added.
Gas globes are also frightened b.
a bath in soapsuds and ammonia.
The curtains and other hanging
are easily cleaned, and the furniture
moved back. Just a hint: Chang,
the arrangement of the chairs, ant
the room will seem to take a new lif,
and an added attraction.
Then rest, One room at a time

weeks What of it? Does not a goot

of work we'll and thoroughly done wal

To test nutmegs, pick them with
pin. Oil will instantly spread around
the puncture if they are good.
For an appetizing salad mince a
couple Of green peppers, mix them
with three tablespoonfuls of chopped
chives and serve on white lettuce
leaves with French dressing.
Shredded red cabbage and white
celery cut fine make a very popular
salad. Sprinkle the top Of the salad
with a tablespoonful of minced onion
and dress with oil and vinegar.
When cooking catchup, jelly, etc.
try putting a few marbles in the ket-
tie to prevent burning. The heat will
keep the marbles rolling and thus pre-
vent the catchup, ETC., from sticking
to the kettle.
When roasting a fowl in gas stove
put three tablespoonfuls OF water into
the meat tin at the bottom of the
stove. You will find the steam will
make the bird tender, and obviate
the necessity for continually bast-

A very convenient receptacle for
cakes and pies is made from a box.
Stand the box on end and place strips
at equal distances along each side in

one above another and saves space.
