CARE OF THE WARDROBE.
A System Found Successful BY a Well
Dressed Woman Of Small Means.

Il spend time In putting on my
clothes. | also spend much time in
taking them of. There is the secret"
The writer had just asked a clever lit
tie French friend how she managed to
look SO smart ON her small income.
She wen on to explain that every
night she spent some little time ! n
looking ri the clothes she had worn
during the day rs well as those she
would wear In the morning. Prayed
edges were repaired. loose buttons set
on. all garments brushed and no spots
or stains allowed to remain. She con-
fessed that not a single garment was
hung up In her wardrobe until Ii was
brushed and pressed. IL this needed TO
be done. so that everything was GER
tain to be immaculate when 1t was
taken out for wear
She explained also that she had n
pair of trees for each pair OF shoes and
tool great interest in her footgear.
Once a week all the clothes In her
wardrobe We're overhauled. tailored
skirts were brushed thoroughly. press
ed and any creases removed by ironing
with n damp silk cloth between the
cloth and the iron.
Her more delicate gowns had q long.
loose bag with loops sewed on. and
they were placed In this instead of
being turned inside out aud hung up.
Creases ana a rumpled appearance
were prevented by this simple inven-
ton. Blouses. which had n long case
for their storage. were laid with plenty
OF tissue paper between. the sleeves
being stuffed with this. and each coat
had a separate hanger. which was Gov
cred with thin velveteen so that by no
chance did the lining get soiIed or
torn.

FUR TRIMMINGS FAVORED.
Special Feature Of Smart Gowns and
Oressy Waists.

Fur trimmings are showing up to be
a special feature Of smart gowns and
dressy waists. says the Dry Goods
Economist. The narrow bands are
most In use. since fur adds so ma
terially TO the cost Of the garments.
In expensive merchandise. however,
the bands are of more ~pretentious size
and are used at the edge of the tunics,
around the fiounces and at the bottom
of the skirt.
Fur trimmings, however. are not rom
fined to the high priced merchandise.
but are used ON street and afternoon
dresses to retail at 500. Small heads
and tails are used To finish off the
neckbands and front sections OF these
dresses and In some cases for trim
ming effects at the belt.
The furs most in evidence for finish
ing touches are civet cat. skunk. pos
sum. mole. c%aracal. Hudson seal. coney
and Belgian hare. When the question
Of price is not considered the expen-
sive furs are used. such as ermine.

TIM TRASKON, cowboy. was rid

ground in Montana. AS he rode
he was occupied with pleasant
thoughts. For years past he had had
no other thoughts thar for steers. |
Now he had got ON to a new line. and
his head was confused. and there was
a new feeling In his heart. His atti-
tude had been observed frora afar off
by Tom Matthews, a fellow cowboy.
ing distance he checked his pinto and
exclaimed:
"Durn my hide. Jim Traskon. If you
amt homesick.'
you're way off," was the reply.
Then you are thinking Of suicide"

You can't be-no. doggone me--you

Jim made no reply, but the hopeless

and laid the palm of his hand ON the
suffering mans left side about where
the heart is supposed to be. He held

stepped back and whispered:
"Jim. she's a-palpitating as sure's
your born. It's a case of love, and
don't you try to fool your Uncle Tom.
Just pour out your confidence. and III
advise to the best of my ability. I've

"You-you won't give me away?"
"Not a give"
"Nor make fun of me?"

Jim nodded and sighed and looked
far away over the grazing herd.
We'll by gosh. And now the ques

Straightway those kind tallors opened

WHO is A DEPENDENT

aarded by Lew and Custom.
In England the Fabian society re-
Gently collected figures to show wheth-
er or not women workers have, as a
rule. dependents to support. The in
quiry. which ranged from the UNIVERSE
ty graduate with a salary OF 50. o a
year to the sweated worker who earns
$3.50 a week, showed that 40 per cent
OF the wage earning women ~investigat-
ed were wholly or partly the support
OF others. In the course of the in
curry there was encountered the ques-
ton o. what n dependent really was.
When equal pay for equal work is OPP
posed it is usually on the ground that
a man has a wife and children to sup
port. He does the outwork. and the
wife does the homework, but as she is
entitled by ay to no pay for her part
b Is counted In as dependent. Now,
a woman going out to work often gets
another woman to come in and do the
Homework for her. Is that second wo-
man a dependent or not? The woman
has to make wages sufficient to sup
port both her and the woman who doe.
her housework. but since the latter has
a definite claim for wages, Is she to b,
reckoned ir the dependent class? Ii
the mans case the woman doing tn,
same homework is nearly always hi
wife, Is denied any claim for wage
and is r%nfailingly recognized as a de
pendent.
'owever. though the economic situa
ton In the two cases was the same. ii
that the wages of both the man an
the woman had to be sufficient for tn
support of two people. the Fabian sc
ciety did moi count the woman house
worker for the woman as a dependent
but did count the woman houseworke
for the man as such. Even so. 1t wa
found that. exclusive of the womei
who were supporting houseworkers t
whom they paid wages. there were 4

who had dependents in the persons o

ers and sisters, sick or drink incapac
tated husbands and growing children.
