coMMENDABLE ECONOMIES.

Using Old Table Linen to Advantage
 In the Making of Smaller Fleece.
 Every one is not so economical as the woman who saves her flour bags, cuts them open and henns them for pot towels, and also makes her salt bags serve for dishcIoths, but it is wise to cut out the worn parts of the dish towels, put three thicknesses together and run them on the machine to make them serve as dishcloths.
 Old tablecloths that have been darn ed and patched over and over again may be utilized The best part of these can be cut out and used as nap kins to lay under boiled fish or pota- toes, or they may serve as washcloths. Worn face or bath towels should be cut and made into towels for children who need small size. An old stair carpet can be hidden by linen crash, which can be washed frequently Later, the crash can be used for scrub cloths, so tbat it serves second pur- pose.
 Every effort which helps to reduce the sum total of repairs and replace ments is not only 8 saving, in itself, but is an Inspiration to other econo- mics which assist so materially to pre- vent the continued Tightening of the 1 housekeeper's purse.

COATS FOR MOTORING.

Most of the New Topcoats Are Made
 Without Belts.
 Cheviot, tweed and other rough fab rics are used for topcoats for motor ing, travelling and sports. For after noon wear broadcloth and woolen duvetyn come in for much use. The evening coats, that are really classified as topcoats, are made of satin and vel vet, brocade and various kinds of silk
 Most of the new topcoats are made without belt, but some are loosely belted well below the waist After noon coats of broadcloth often have a wide, soft, loose girdle of satin, which is run through inch wide straps of the cloth and is fastened in the front or at the side under a big metal or braid or nament.
 Standing collars of the fabric of the coat are perhaps smartest for topcoats for rough wear. Fur collars are much used on afternoon coats, fur collars that are either flat or rolling The coats usually button close about the throat, a feature to be regarded with approval
 One interesting collar arrangement is shown on a tweed coat. It is a broad green velvet collar, that lies loosely over the shoulders at the sides and in the back. On one side is a little tab on which is a big button, and on the other side is. a corresponding tab through which buttonhole is worked When this coat is worn in cold weather the wide, soft velvet collar is crushed about the neck and buttoned securely On some of the new coats and on many of the afternoon and evening fcapes there are high collars of the di- lrectoire cut On one evening cape of purple satin a little. chain made of satin links was Iooped from one side of the collar to the other under jewel l ed ornament.

A Large One on the Left Hip Is Now
 Ultra Chic.
 There is seemingly no abatement in the popularity of artificial flowers. They are placed irregularly on the skirt under tulle tunics, and they are used at the shoulders singly or in the form of straps. A white satin evening frock is held over the shoulders with straps of deep yellow roses. The flow CTS band the waist, edge the lace capes and rest pertly on the left hip.
 That is the really new position for the artificial hower-at the front of the left hip. And 1t must be big. con spicuous flower, too, to be truly smart. A pink satin evening frock, much trimmed with silver, gauge. shows 8 big magenta flower fastened on the left hip on the tulIe tunic.

Eur Trinninas on suits.

The Dry Goods Economist says .aS1at a notable feature of the new suits 6 the amount of fur trimming which ig being employed Collars and cuffs of fur are particularly desirable In some instances narrow bands of fur edge the entire coat. In some of the more expensive suits fur trimming is being used on the long tunics.
 Among the furs which are being fo- vored is beaver, which is considered very smart this season. Skunk. mink. chinchillas squirrel, ermine, brOadtaI, Hudson seal, monkey and fitch are all being employed on the new winter suits
