Soft brocades are still being used very

OF soft domestic brocades originally in

The Care of Glass.

New glass often proves a hopeless ex-
travagance, and instead of finding that
an allowance for repairs is not needed
until after the first six months renewal
begins in deadly earnest within as many
weeks. This is often due to the fact that
glass is very brittle when perfectly new
1t should never in point of fact. be
used until it has been boiled. A large
pan is needed. In default of anything
else, big kettle may be employed, or
one Of the tin oval tubs which are used
in many houses for washing.
Each glass. tumbler. bottle. carafe,- de-
canter or finger glass should be wrapped
carefully i'm hay or straw and placed In
the tub. This must be filled with cold
water and a couple handfuls or salt
added. The water must be brought
slowly to boiling point When this has
been reached. boiling should continue
for two minutes, when the tub may be
withdrawn and the water slowly cooled.
Only when thoroughly cold must the
water be poured off and the glass re-
moved from it's wrappings

Striped Chipmunk's stOrehouse was. be-
cause he just had to peep inside and find
out if it had any of the big, fat hickory
nuts that had disappeared from under the
tall hickory tree while he was quarreling
up in the top of it with his cousin, Chat
terer the Red Squirrel.
But spying on Striped Chipmunk isn't
the easiest thing in the world. Happy
Jack was finding it the hardest work he
had ever undertaken. Striped Chipmunk
is so spry and whisks about so that you
need eyes all around your head to keep
track of him. Happy Jack found that his
two eyes, bright and quick as they are,
couldn't keep that little elf of cousin OF

With the last words Striped Chipmunk
was nowhere to be seen. 1t seemed as if
the earth must have opened and swal-
lowed him. But it hadn't, for two min
utes later Happy Jack saw him flirting
his funny little tail in the sauciest way
as he scampered along an old log.
Happy Jack began to suspect that
with him. What else could he mean by
saying such things? And yet Happy
Jack was sure that Striped Chipmunll
hadn't seen him. for all the time he was

a little longer and he would surely see

storehouse So Happy Jack waited and
watched.

On Being Late.
By Ruth Cameron.

They say time is money. and yet how
many people who are thoroughly scrupu-
lous about other peoples money are
equally INSCRIPTIONS about other peoples
time,
Such folks would be Mortified at the
thought of taking single penny out of
a pocketbook intrusted to them, and vet
when friend intrusts his time pocket
book to such one by making an ap-
pointment with him. the time thief thinks
that making off with large sum of time
is mere peccadillo to be wiped off the
slate with an excuse or two.
The other day I was waiting for q
friend in the doorway of one of the large
stores in the city near which l live A
woman was standing near me who had
evidently been waiting for some one a
long time and was rather impatient. FL
nally young girl came sauntering along
as II she had all the time in the world
The older woman called her attention to
the fact that it was long past the time at
which she had promised to meet her, and
the young girl answered. "Oh, what time
Is 1t? Am l very late?" 1 did not hear
any more because they walked away. but
what did hear showed that the girl had
not considered the keeping of her appoint
ment important enough to even keen
track Of the time.
A young man told me a short time ago
hat the only fault he had to find with
the young lady to whom he is engaged is
that she Is never on time. while ago
they were going to the opera and as usual
she was late in getting to the meeting
place Consequently, they missed the first
act, the young man was out Of sorts and
showed 1t, she resented his crossness and
before the evening was over she was in
tears and the pleasure of the opera was
spoiled for both of them. This is but one
example of the sort of thing that is con-
tlnualiy happening. Comic papers make a
Joke OF this fault on the part Of women
but 1t has caused this man SO much
trouble that he is really disturbed about
1t and considers ii serious defect in
character.
My aunt told the other night of a recent
experience of hers. She has a friend for
whom she always has to wait from fifteen
minutes to half an hour, and a short time
ago she waited whole hour and then
the friend did not show up, she went
home without meeting her. Shortly after
ward the friend called her up on the tele-
phone and asked her why she did not
meet her. My aunt replied that she had
waited an hour and that that was the
last time she would ever make an ap-
pointment with her. The consequence is
that friendship of long standing has
been practically broken up by this care
less habit.
OF course. there are many times when
the breaking OF an appointment cannot be
helped. or when being late for an appoint
ment Is unavoidable. and think people
should always be given a chance to ex-
plain. But it seems to me that a regu-
, lar habit of stealing other peoples time in
this way shows a lack of sense of honor
and is utterly inexcusable

The new collar effects, such as the
Robespierre and directoire styles, and
the long sleeves with fancy GUNS
or ruffies furnish an effective finish
for the new dainty lingerie waists. Stand
ing collars have deep points of fine EN-
broidery in Robespierre style. so arranged
that they slip over the fiat velvet of the
tailored suit. The cuffs are made to
match and extend around the edge of the
sleeve to a depth of an inch and a half,
and are finished off with points at the
back about four inches deep. The cuffs
are worn also on the outside, and in some
cases are trimmed with rows of tiny pearl
buttons.
Narrow sleeve frills are used in cheaper
waists. but the extended frill which fin
ishes off the bottom of the sleeve and
follows along the outside arm seam to
the elbow is used on more expensive
waists Three-inch laces are used in this
way. Novelty coats are slashed in the
sleeve to allow these frills to appear on
