KlMON0 SLEEVE STILL USED
style Which Has Much TO Recommend
II Has Not by Any Means Lost
lts Popularity.

The very newest evening gowns
show the ktmono sleeve more often
than not. On heavier gowns there is
usually an armhole. even though low
In cut, but for lace and chiffon and all
the sheer materials the kimono cut
Is still considered most graceful. In
b silk gowns the sleeve is set In
sometimes with a tiny frill or with
cord or q bit Of insertion. The arm
hole may be large or small, round or
oval. or square cornered. With these
fancy arrangements Of the armhole
the shoulders 10 always long. Some
times the sleeve comes from an In
side guimpe and Is not attached at all
to the waist itself. There are many
charming variations on this idea. Din
ner gowns are made. in some In
stances, with a square opening at the
neck In front aud high at the back.
This sounds old-fashioned, but 1t is
quite new, nevertheless. The cut Of
the neck Is often square this year.
and many models will be seer with the
square back as well; but one must be
assured of good shoulders 1rst-for
1t Is a trying shape. The trains are
mostly pointed and trail after one In
a negligent sort OF fashion, as IL
not fully determine which direction
to follow.

Checks and Pialda.

A very noticeable feature with all
model coats direct from Paris Is the
smallness of the revers and In many
instances their entire absence. Pleat-
ed skirts are generally in evidence,
eve when made Of thick materials,
and with robes for day or evening
YEA composed OF soft wolfe and such
like fabrics we find the old accor-
dion pleating very popular.
Large checks and plaids, somewhat
startling In character. are now max
ing their appearance, but these, when
blended with plain colors, make de-
cidedly distinguished looking cos
tunes. They can, however, only be
successfully worn by tall ome pos
sessing slender figures, otherwise the
wearer will attract attention without
commanding admiration.

A ~laundress offers the following
advice about washing the croehetted
or knitted shawl:
IF | am In a hurry l fold the shawl
as fiat as possible and lay 1t In a pill
lowcase and run this through at in
tervals with Blasting thread to keep
1t az fiat as possible. When thus
treated It. can be washed with the 9TH
err fannels. | wash the shawl by
sousing 1t up and down and rubbing
IL as little as possible, Then / squeeze
the water out by parting 1t between
my hands and rinse In three waters.
To dry 1t l place 1t between two dry
sheets In the sun or In q warm place.
Let the shawl dry In a lump. 1t will
take a considerable time, but will
come out looking like new.

CLEANING WITH KEROSENE
It 10 Sometimes indispensable, but
Should Be Used With the Great
est Caution.


The SCOT that coats a frying pan
car be easily taken of by sopping 1t
with kerosene and scraping 1t Oh
shortly afterwards with a pot chain.
Kerosene never should be handled
near a fire.
To cut the grease on the kitchen
range. kerosene is Indispensable. but
the stove should be perfectly cold De
fore applying.
First dampen a rag with the Oil
and rub owe the stove. and follow
this with a thorough rubbing with Old
newspapers, after which go over 1t
with a rag dampened with a little ben
zine, to evaporate the oil.
Do not build a fire Ia the stove un-
til this is e~vaporated. which generally
will be In a few hours.
Then wipe of nice and clean. AFTER
which give a coat Of varnish. 0
will be surprised how little 1t VIII need
backing after the stove has been var
nished.
The top Is about the only part that
becomes soiled and which Will need

backing. The rest will need moth
ing more than wiping of with q sort

One also finds delightful little short

Amber In VOGUE.

Amber tewelry is in vogue this win
ter, owing to the fact that touches of
amber shaded materials have ap-
peared on many of the smart gowns.
Amber buckles. necklaces, bracelets
and earrings are being sold at nov
city shops and new uses are being de-
vised for old amber ornaments. Odd
beads can be converted into long ear
rings and the p%royerbial amber cross
can be worn or q narrow black rib
bon or at the end of a gold chain.
Amber combs, once popular, are
among the novelties shown at one sx-
elusive shop. The long strings OF
beads, If of the small variety, are sug-
gested for lorgnettes. But no matter
what the amber trinkets happen to be,
they just al be put to good use and
give Just the smart note Of color that
fashion DEGREES must appear some
where about the costume.
