This town seems full of Indian chains
and Chinese tassels. These are strange
features to go together. Worth and
Poiret are responsible for the two ideas
and the American women have worked
them out in detail. Some tassels are
more Chinese than others, and some
chains would make an Apache stare.
What was needed. however. was color
and that has been secured The erect OF
these dangling ornaments on a somber
frock is not bad if the wearer does not
try to crowd on at one time every nov
city she sees in this line. If. for instance,
a woman finds a dark blue serge frock
quite becoming, she can satisfy 1asnlon
and her complexion by adding touch OF
yellow or bright red.

these ornaments, but usually one sees
them as an addition to a frock that mas
once been worn without them II is q
clever way to obtain color. and this is
what every one is trying to do whether
or not they realize it. The influence of
Leon Bakst and the Russian ballet which
has held the old world in thrall for two
years is vet SO strong that Ii makes a
one-colored frock look tame, unless 1t is
in the fiaring red or gorgeous purple that
from other sources.
Twenty Cents in Color.
Many of these Chinese tassels in vary
ing and contrasting colors can be bought
for ~ cents seach in the shops. They
probably cost cents in the Chinese quar-
ter of San Francisco. And one can buy
them from Chinese shops here for as lit
tie Some have large beads strung on a
colored thread as well as a tassel; others
are all silk.
They may be worn around the neck as
a necklace. or Invested of their long
cord. may be attached to the front of the
frock.- Naturally. they go better with a
bodice that is cut down to V in the
front for the tassel falls gracefully
away from 1t. a cravat would do.
The fashion for these ornaments has
brought about liberal sale of beads of
all kinds, provided they are large and
colorful. Yellow is an important color in
The days STYLES and for this reason it
plays leading part in the necklaces.
Yellow beads as big as piums are strung
around the necks of half the women one
meets. They are not worn with a low
gown if woman is gifted With or has
acquired taste. She saves them for the
street suit or the informal house gown
They are exceedingly popular with a
white silk or linen shirt waist.

Clocks and Their Care.

Clocks are so sensitive to care that
the woman who can AFFORD to do so
gladly relegates their winding and oil
ing to a man who makes that sort of
work his business. He visits her house
at stated Observation-Disclosures the
clocks need winding-and guarantees
to keep them in order. If such man
is employed, then the care Of the clocks
must be left entirely in one persons
hands. 1t ruins clocks if they are con-
stantly tinkered with, and it is much
easier for one person than for two per-
sons to keep track of them.
Be careful about winding clocks.
Wind them always at the same time
and never wind them too tight. Find
out just how many full turns OF the
key it takes to wind the clock to the
proper point and always stop with that
number of turns.
A clockmaker says that the hands
of the clock should never be turned
backward. If it is necessary to set
the clock, push the hands forward, as
there are some very delicate screws
that the backward pushing is likely to
disturb.
II the clock strikes, always wait,
when setting the clock, with the hand
just after each hour for the clock to
strike Tor that nOur. and walt at the
half hours, too. If the clock strikes
every thirty minutes.
Don't let the clock run down. Wind
it regularly every twelve or twenty
four or thirty six hours. or seven days
or every stated time when it needs
winding.
Don't tinker with a clocks mechan-
ism yourself. This mechanism is high
ly organized and delicate and 1t re-
quires the knowledge of an expert to
readjust it properly.
A clock should never be moved from
one position. If it does not go when
ii is first placed. probably it is placed
unevenly. An unevenness of a fraction
of an inch may cause a clock to vary
several minutes from the right time
each day or may cause it to fail to go
altogether. So start it in a good
position and leave it there as long as
possible.
If clock stops, and it is not run
down. or wound too tight, or on an I'M
even surface. send for clockmaker.
1t may need oiling, but oiling Is some
thing which only an expert should be
allowed to do 1t may need cleaning
and this, too, should be done by an ex-
pert.

Absence of information about the

c. The Cheerful Woman:

It is a real pleasure to meet her, for she seems to vibrate with cheerfulness and optimism and in a contagious way that is most pleasing. We can feel unconsciously her mood, though 1t may not be expressed by smiling mouth and laughing eyes. The cheer ful woman does not always smile-shc does not always laugh, but there is that something about her whiah seems to say-"l am getting the best out of life and am giving my best to my life. She has no need to prate of her good ness and her virtues, her happy out look on life, or her freedom from worry. Her face tells the story-but her man. ner tells more A face may be wreathed in smiled--yet be unhappy. Manner, and way of speaking voice and thousand and one other little expres- sions which speak of the mind and it's agony or ioy-make the really cheerful women, cheerful, and the optimistic one-optomistic.
