JEWEL CASE AND PlNCUSHIoN
Double Convenience for the Woman Who Is Required to Do Consider
 able Travelling.

One of the most convenient little accessories to the toilet for the wo- man who travels about a great deal is a small jewel case and pincushion combined.
 1t is made of a piece of fancy rib- bon or plain satin twelve inches long and six inches wide. The material is sewed together lengthwise, then divided into three parts, four inches in each, either by stitching it on the machine or with very close cross stitch or featherstitching
 Do this stitching four inches from one side first. then i'll the center with wool to form the cushion in which to stick the pins, then stitch it across four inches from the other end.
 There you have a solid center with hollow end, and these ends are turned in to form hem one inch wide. In these small casing is run, with mar row ribbon placed through that so as to pull it up like little bag on each end
 This makes a flat cushion in the center, having baglike ends in which the jewelry is kept, brooches, brace lets, rings chains and the watch, when 1t is not in use. The cushion can be decorated with some pretty design done in cross-stitch or an embroidered initial CT 6 small spray Of flowers
 Such case can be made of any material you may choose. Brocaded satin is always pretty; plain satin GOV cred with lace or coarse linen that can be laundered will be found satis- factory substitute for other more ex- pensive fabrics.
 One side of the cushion may be used for jewels and the other for sewing materials-cotton, scissors, needles, etc.-or for a soft ball of alarming cotton, that is always handy to have when travelling.
 i This combination cushion and case will make a splendid gift for the young girl who is attending boarding school or for one away from home.

LAVENDER AGAIN IN FAVOR
Pleasant Scent So Popular Some Years Ago Taken Up by the
 Present Generation.

Who does not love the faint per fume of lavender flowers? In past generations the delicate purple bios- soms, dried in the sun, were used al- most entirely by our grandmothers for pertaining their fine linen, their gowns and even their hats.
 Linen chests were not complete without their small bags of lavender laid between the sheets and pads of lavender between the folds of table cloths and napery. Chests where all the lovely handmade lingerie was kept, where the prospective bride stored the articles of her rousseau as they were finished, one by one, were plentifully supplied with laven- der blossoms tied up in neat little linen bags.
 Then for some reason. the fashion of pertaining with lavender went out, and the more pungent and heavier scents were used. But now, with the return of fashions of other days, the vogue for lavender is with us again. Truly fastidious women now have their clothing laid between pads of lavender, and pinned in the front of their gowns is a small sachet, covered with silk or linen embroidered to match the color ribbon used in the lingerie
 Twelve inches of three-inch wide ribbon that has been cut in half, then sewed together on the selvage edge and fringed out on the ends, then filled with dried lavender flowers, makes the prettiest kind of eorsage sachet.
 Little bags or flap pads of handker- chief linen, having some dainty blos- soms or a pretty spray of flowers embroidered upon them, are nice for the linen chest, or to put in the draw CTS of the bureau where underclothing or blouses are kept.
 Embroidered handkerchiefs, folded over in envelope fashion, then stitched in place, make pretty sachets when filled with lavender, in fact, any small pieces of silk, ribbon or fine linen can be utilized for this purpose. Laven- der flowers are quite inexpensive; the woman with a slender purse can afford sachets of this kind, and they make delightful gifts for the holiday season.

Eurs in Combination.

Fur wraps and draped mantles are much in vogue. and are lovely if worn over velvet or plush frocks without other wraps or drawn about the shoul- ders when an evening coat or after noon coat is discarded. They are made up in various furs, but are par ticularly effective in ermine, and with some costumes are admirable in mole.
 The enormous straight scarfs are still liked and are very cleverly worn by some women who have the knack of adjusting them If skillfully ad- iusted such a scarf may be substi- tuted for a coat.

There is, quite evident, an awakening interest in the matter of millinery styles with some degree of perman- ence. At last seasons hat Gin the nomenclature of the millinery trade) is the "deadest on earth" But this is not altogether true, has not been in the past and will be less than ever true in the future. Women who own fine leghorn and panama hats are loath to have them reblocked or changed in outline, because they are beautiful in outline and quality to start with. By way of variety. they may be retrimmed from season to sea son. Sometimes hat is so good from an artistic point of view, that worn or faded trimming is replaced with other exactly like it, or trimming is selected with view to it's capacity to stand cleaning.
 Hats modelled on those pictured by Rembrandt and Gainsborough be- long to the class which may be said to be always good style" This does not mean that they are always fash ionable, it means that they must be reckoned with outside the realm of capricious fashions; that women of in- telligence and fine taste will wear them at any time they see fit, regard
The Sentinel=record., 1913-01-12

lces the fashions of the moment.
 ln Fig a Rembrandt turban is pictured made of velvet. Two feath- CTS only (from the pheasant are used for trimming. Simplicity and grace are it's paramount features and they are most important factors in all good millinery.
 In Fig ? a soft hat is shown, which is made of velveteen or other substantial fabrics, has no frame or wires and belongs to that order of millinery which is coming to be known as the suit case hat" It is becoming popular to make such hats of the same fabric as the coat. The hat shown is made of corduroy, the brim stiffened with an interlining and machine stitched. It is as practical as the good old-fash- toned sunbonnet and occupies the same place in the winter wardrobe as its prototype does in that of summer.
 Since women are no longer satisfied with one or two hats, it would be wisdom for them to select the smart stable styles and wear them several seasons by way of change from their new hats. For every woman wants a new hat; 1t is one of her dependable inspirations.

5s Lewis St., Nashville. Tenn.--"About three years ago had the malaria fever. and when I recovered my hair was falling out so that tile doctor told me to cut it off.

MUST HANG PERFECTLY EVEN
Proper Length of the Present Short Skirt Apt to Cause Trouble for
 the Home Dressmaker.

Now that short skirts are the cor rect and fashionable thing to wear, it is, most important that the bottom of the skirt shall hang perfectly even, the same distance from the floor at every point.
 Home dressmakers will find this a somewhat difficult task if they are at Tempting to fit the skirt upon them selves. When making a skirt, finish it completely, excepting for the hem; then slip the skirt on and hook it in place around the waist. Now take yardstick, place one end on the floor, pressing it against the skirt; then at the top where the stick touches the skirt make a faint mark with a piece of tailors chalk. Repeat this all around the skirt and from these points measure toward tine hem mari ing it the length you desire. You can then turn the hem up at these marks and be sure that it is exactly even at the bottom Walking skirts should be three inches from the floor out ing skirts four inches, and those for indoor wear an inch and half
 Another way to mark the length of a skirt, but one which requires the aid of another person, is to take a flat piece of cardboard or a ruler and mark on it the distance the edge of the skirt is to be from the floor when finished Place the skirt on the wearer and move the ruler around the skirt, placing pins at intervals where the mark shows the length wished. Turn the hem up at this point all around
 A skirt gauge that can be bought at any department store for a small sum is fitted with piece of tailor's chalk fixed on rod in such a manner that it can be lowered or raised to any length you wish By placing this on the floor the skirt can be marked evenly as the wearer turns slowly around
