THINGS TO REMEMBER
IN BUYING FURNITURE

II cheap wood has been used in furni-
ture, and the riece has a good deal Of
fancy work on 1t. then you may know
that the price is controlled by the labor.
II good wood OF attractive figure has
been used. there will usually be little
carving or scrollwork but the joining,
finishing and matching OF the grain and
color OF the wood Will be skilfully done
All the exposed surfaces OF furniture
are made Of the fine hardwoods, and for
drawer bottoms. corner blocks. cleats.
dowels, cores, and pieces used for brac-
ing. cheaper woods. such as basswood.
sycamore. poplar. pine, chestnut. and
gum are used a little study Of the grain
and figure OF the different woods will
soon make one familiar with their char
acteristics. Most people are able TO
recognize oak. even though Il Is given a
very large variety Of finishes which
change its appearance greatly. Nahog-
any has a largo. soft figure, and II. too.

HOW TO TRIM SKIRTS is
A PUZZLING QUESTION

Both trimmed skirts and scalloped edges
will be worn freely this spring. says q
noted fashion writer. The rumors from
Paris are verified by the experimental
gowns in the shops and at the Dress
makers in the lavish use Of fold and
hounce. Of cord and piping. Of buttons,
and OF curved and buttonholed edges.
Whenever there is q straight, raw finish
there comes the shallow curve and the
overcast buttonhole stitch.
White. pink, red and marine blue linen
frocks that are now Smartly made up
for the trade have an abundance Of
scsllops on them.
The first thing that q woman asks
when she Is not able to AFFORD an srtis-
tic tailor Is what kind OF trimming she
must put on a skirt and how she Is going
to put II in order to bring out the best
in her figure. Even the woman who
can afford to go to a high priced tailor
does not always have this question an
swered for her easily or well
Folds and FIounce..
The kind Of trimming which is used
consists mostly OF tunics, or folds or
founces that give this appearance This
apron overskirt, which is SO generally
used on skirts to-day, becomes exceeding
ly awkward at times and unless sldlfuIly
managed is apt to mar the costume. One
Of its disagreeable traits that the exeprt
has found out is that It Is inclined 70

the wide cotton net which comes for

For an ''aIi-over' effect, Il can be used

insertion. and, owing TO the fineness Of
the weave, which makes II possible to
watch the groundwork Of valenciennes

pose. It washes perfectly, and can be
used without any lace edge whatever for
the sweetest and simplest of frills and

FATE.

Published at the request Of Mrs NJ ". shuster.l
Two shall be born the whole wide world
apart.
And speak in different tongues, and have
no thought
Each Of the others being. and no heed.
And these DER unknown seas to unknown
lands
Shall cross. escaping wreck. defying
death.
And all unconsciously shape every act,
And bend each wandering step to this
one end
That. one day-out OF darkness they shall
And read ife's meaning in each others
eyes.
And two 70. shall walk some narrow way
So nearly side by side that should one
turn
Ever so little space to left or right,
They needs must stand acknowledged
face to face;
And yet-with wishful eyes that never
meet,
With groping hands that never clasp.

Calling IN vain to ears that never hear,
They seek each other all their weary
days
And die unsatisaed: and this is fate.

FURS STORED AT HOME
NEED CONSTANT CARE

Moth balls and camphor are said to
draw the gloss from the fur. and II is
said these also tend to deprive the
pelts Of their natural oil. so that the
use of these tims-honored preservatives
should be regarded with some suspicion.
Delicate furs like chinohilla and silver
fox have a strong tendency TO bleach.
and camphor should never be put IN with
these. OF course, such furs lose In value
when they are of lighter color. so that
the warning may be useful
1t is a good plan to hang fur coats
upon a coat stretcher covered with
chamois leather. The sleeves should Be
stuffed with paper to keep them In good
shape and without creases, Seal coney
coats should be brushed about every
weeks with q brush dipped IN cold
water.

CHARITY BAZAAR THAT
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS

dining table. Each pot was tied in green
tissue paper by way Of decoration, and
sold from Is cents to 81, according to
size and variety. There were also pots
OF freesias and birch bark boxes-home-
made-filled with MOSES that stay green
all winter. Another novelty was wide
mouthed bottles, with hangers of green
covered wire, in which slips of ivy or
wandering jew grow in water all winter.
There were also pots Of started bulbs

As for the latter trick. Il II hard to
talk about It without raising scornful
arguments or bitter criticism from the
laymen. and yet this distinct sloping Of
the skirt in front goes merriIy on IN the
workshops Last summer the footline of
q walking skirt was fully an inch lower
at the back than IN the front. and now
II is often from three to four inches
shorter IN front on afternoon and even
ing gowns.
This Is not nagrantly perceptibls be-
cause II Is Joined to an effort to give
moro freedom 70 the knees and ankles;
wherever the skirt slopes up 20 its high
est point there Is placed q folded plait
Of more or less width. which falls over
the opening and begins at the knees So
successful has this plated opening been
on the new skirts that It has made its
appearance IN the back as well as the
front
For instance. q skirt that Is too mar
row comfortably to walk IN has q wide
plait down the back which Is stitched on
one side TO the foundation only as far as
the knees, and Il then hangs free over
the wide underlap in the foundation.
This does not give any visible sign Of an
open skirt. but II gives the necessary
freedom needed to get in q car or motor
or walk up the steps.

Revivals in Fashion,

Most of the styles Of frocks worn these
days are revivals OF fashions of long
ago. Among the other things which
take us back many years are the ruches
affected now.
They are used to trim gowns and mil
Gnery with excellent results.
Some frocks have a broad, fat ruche
pinked or fringed, according to taste.
The ruches are not so puffed and full
as they were years ago.

NEW FRuLS OF FASHION
DIRECT FROM PARIS

Dainty scarfs Of 6atiste or null hand
embroidered are TO be worn with lin
gerie frocks this summer.
Quaint shoulder capes OF taffeta edged
with frillings Of the same, match the
new taffeta hats and nuns for spring.
Marguerites in colored wool are among
the new millinery trimmings.
Black Manila straw is to be used IN
the coming season for hats OF the pic
turesque type, shaped with fioppy brims
and trimmed with flowers and ribbon
streamers.
Hats with strings OF velvet or satin
lHotted low will be worn agaIn-but
fhis. like the floral toque, is always a
hopeful rumor OF the spring.
Brilliant Oriental embroiderfes are
still being favored by some OF the best
houses for evening. home, and outdoor
wear.
Though most women continue to load
the hair with fantastic ornaments, the
very smartest prefer to attain success
by the originality of a style OF couture
which is specially becoming to their
type.

Feather Mounts.

Ostrich feather mounts promise to be
one Of the modistic features of the sea-
son. Several short feathers that have
seen a good deal Of service may be en-
ployed for this purpose. for so skillful
have feather specialists become that
they can make short. shabby feath-
ers not merely look like new, but have
all the appearance of the latest plume
from Paris.
Ostrich feather trimming is frequently
arranged to form a full soft edging to
