USEFUL HooK-AND-EYE BOX
Simple Continuance VIII Save Time
and Frequently Much Wear and
Tear on the Nerves.

Have you ever hunted in vain for
the special size Of hook and eye you
needed? If not you are an abnormally
neat woman, or one given to buttons
or pins.
During that mad hunt through a
badly mixed box of sewing utensils
you doubtless vowed to have a sep
arate hook-and-eye box forthwith.
Then you promptly forgot
The next time Immediately hunt q
number Of card envelopes, and on the
flap of each one sew hook and eye
to show the size and color within.
Put these envelopes neatly in small
box and your miserable fishing days
are over. There should be separate
holders for cards of hooks and eyes,
detached ones that have not been
used and for those that have been
ripped from dress, as is the habit
of some economical women.
Small boxes with the hook sewed or
pasted to the lid may take the place
of an envelope. but take up more room
and are less easily handled.

cor Evening Wear.

Evening dress is quite lovely this
year, and the tunic as much to the
fore as ever, though rather shorter
than that of last winter. The bead
embroidery Is all the rage. and 1t is
almost crowded upon the ninon that
composes these tunics. They are of
the most vivid colors, and the variety
of designs is surprising. There ap-
pears to be no end to the inventive
ness Of the clever brains employed In
this interesting II arduous work. The
great difficulty must be to differen-
tiate the patterns from each other.
One OF the Ioveliest has two long
steramed lilies rising from the hem in
front, and border of similar but
smaller lilies finishes the tunic. The
color is cerise, with crystal beads,
and curiously effective touch is the
very narrow, fiat piping, In the very
palest greenish blue, which finishes
the tunic around the shoulders and
borders the sleeves. Lovely effects
are made by laying these beautiful
colors over each other.

WHY FLOWERS AT WEDDINGS
Pretty Custom That Has Been Handed

Zeal Significance.

Flowers, of course. always have
been used at all festal occasions, and
SO, consequently, at the weddings Of
practically every nation. They are the
symbol of gayety, and hence their pro-
fusion OF that most Joyous of times
q wedding.
But some Of the flowers have more
than a general significance. For ex-
ample. there was long q custom for
each guest to dip q sprig of rosemary
into his cup of wine before drinking
the couples health. The bride (if she
were not widow and the bride
groom once adorned themselves with
garlands of wheat. This was a symbol
Of plentifulness and increase and at
the present time the bridal wreath Of
orange blossoms possesses the same
meaning.
In I'VE olden times" there were gar
lands. garlands everywhere at we'd
ding ceremony. Even the rejected
sutton sometimes wore a garland of
gray willow.
Besides the flowers, both the bride
and bridegroom wore true love knot,
an ornament introduced into England
by the Danes In the ninth century and
called the "trulofa." the troth. The
bride OF that time was supposed al
ways to wear three ornaments-a ring
for q pledge, brooch for innocence,
