Vivid Hued Sashes,

Sashes are everywhere. A novelty
sash ribbon about eight inches wide
is of heavy silk striped gayly in varie-
gated worsteds Another sash, in
rich autumnal shade of brown, shows
markings Of mustard, red and green;
a deep violet sash is striped with yell
low, green and rose. The vivid hues
of the Roman stripings are expressed
in innumerable combinations. Sash
ribbons are usually sold in one and a
half yard lengths if it is desired to
carry them only once around the waist
and two and a half yard lengths if
they are to be passed twice around.
Handsome Roman silks in the strip
ings which distinguish our grandmoth-
er's little-girl sashes come in thirty
inch widths and may be used very ef-
fectively, indeed, for waistcoats and
for high, draped girdles.

Poor Charities.

There are charity societies, as all
the world knows, that only give to the
poor quarter or half cent of every
dollar they take in, most of their sub
scriptions going for salaries to Off
GERS and investigators, for expensive
rentals, etc.
Richard March, the charity expert OF
Denver, Colo, was condemning these
charities. He said:
"A mans wife shouted up to him
the other day:
Don't you think this blue over
coat with the strapped-in back is too
new and fashionable, George, to give
away?'

Tongue sandwiches can be made in
many varieties This is one good sort:
Chop cold boiled tongue fine, add to it
a little chopped onion and parsley, and
spread it between buttered slices of
whole wheat bread. Another filling
is made with cold boiled tongue that
has been pounded to paste and
mixed with a little currant jelly. Still
another tongue sandwich is made by

UTILIZING THE OLD FURS
Never Was There Season in Which
the Odd Bits Gould Be Better
Employed.

This is a good year TO make use Of
every bit of old fur you may have on
hand. For it is a year when small
touches of fur are much used Day
clothes, for both street and house, are
trimmed with fur, evening gowns and
accessories show it, and even under
clothes are decorated with it. So trot
out your old furs and see what you
can do with them.
If you have a collar and mun set
that is in fairly good condition you
can do much to rejuvenate it by means
of a little color Try lining the muff
with. say, bright green satin. and then
fasten a big bow of green satin rib
hon. to match the lining, on the collar.
Or put a ruffie of colored chiffon in
the ends of the muff and another IN
der the ends of the collar.
Small pieces of fur that are in good
condition may be made into snug little
waistcoats TO wear under the street
suit coat. A pattern for waistcoats
NAV be bought and the waistcoat cut
Of cotton cloth, fitted, altered and the
fur cut from this corrected pattern.
FIR is used on velvet hats. A strip
Of fur to band the crown of velvet
hat is a finish that is attractive Fur
hovs faced with colored silk or satin
IN match the lining OF the muff and the
how on the collar, are also interesting.
Another use for old strips OF fur
that are in good condition is for neck
-r,ffs of various sorts Tulle can be
plaited. wired at the edges and edged
with fur. Or velvet ribbon four inches
vide can be laid in small box plaits

SAcHET IN A NEW DESIGN
For the Gloves and Handkerchjefs
There Can Be Nothing Better
Than This.

Novel suggestions for handkerchief
and glove sachets are always well
come, since they are useful articles
to prepare for sale in bazaar and
also they make most acceptable gifts.
In our sketch may be seen a particu-
larly pretty sachet of quite new de-
sign that can be carried out in any
delicate shade of pale pink silk. lined
with soft silk and bound at the edges
with narrow ribbon chosen in some
pleasantly contrasting shade of color.

Evening frocks of filmy texture

with touches of fur. A chiffon or tulle
tunic edged with fur, fur buttons on
a lace bodice, a buckle of fur at the
