Ostrich Feathers Agaim

Ostrich feather fans have come back after several years of eclipse to the full height of their former glory, says the Bronx News. In the new models the plumes, loosely curled, are held in gem sticks of silver or gold, or ivory, mother-of-pearl. ebony, sandalwcod, carved jade. or lapis-la- zuli mountings.
 They are huge affairs. Some meas ure foot and half from their stick pivots to the crown of their full, rich fea thers, and three feet across when the fans are spread.
 Elaborate Handles.
 All white fans, all black fans and fans of many colors, dark-toned, pale tinted, striped shaded and plain col ored fans are here. They ccme in the latest colors too-Copenhagen, cop per, peach, chamois, terra-cotta, olive each is represented by great soft all occasions, day and evening; for the matinee and luncheon, morning musicale or afternoon reception. tea lance ball or the opera.
 Gem set handles are the favorites, especially those with tiny diamonds cleaning on ;heir shanks. One such glorified fan has a row of diamond chips set in each one of it's pierced gold sticks and foamy white plumes. Emeralds enhance another gold mounting and emerald green feathers top it off.
 The colors of the rainbow sre ex- hibited in another masterpiece if the fan-maker's art. The cGlors grauuate from the lower ends to the tips Of the feathers; they are the palest tints of the spectrum, starting with deli cate pink directly above the fan sticks and turning, through delicious yellows. greens and blues. to lavender at the feathers tips. The mounting of this fan is of mother-of-pearl; it is a symphony in fairy tones.
The Alaska citizen., 1914-02-23

An ther cOlorful fan has opals set in its silver sticks, while the feathers are in shades of green, running from decided sage to Nile. A combination of grays and greens is seen in a fan whose feathers are shaded from deep green in the center to pearl gray a. the ends of the fronds. The sticks are oxidized silver set with wide pieces of cabbage jade the silver forming pierced and carved frames for the carved jade.
 Fellows and red are prominent among the new fans. One in yellow is of the same shade throughout, the sticks being amber and the feathers matching the stone. A fan in red has gorgeous red feathers mounted in gold, the two outer sticks set with little, ablong placques of red c~ral which give just the right finishing touch.
 Black and White Combination.
 Black and white are so much part cf this seasons fashions that fans in plain black or white. or in combinations of the two. are shown in great variety. Rich black feathers are mounted in sticks of ebony or onyx. or encrusted with faceted jet. striking note in combined black and white is the fan having brillian white feathers in a mounting of bright, polished ebony.
 Enamels are used on many fans. The Vatican style is paramount in these, and that elusive old French pink is seen here 10 advantage. A few fans are set with diamonds and pearls, and as if that were nos enough their sticks are enamelled too The sticks, which are made of gold, are bordered with a rim of tiny pearls and diamonds and little sem-like enamelled pictures appear on the upper parts of the larger outside sticks

 Shuns the Home.
 It is true she is sufficiently clever to undertake the management of the house with every degree If skill. bu- even a house that may be run on wheels is not necessarily a home n the old sense of the word. Utility and practicability are often the distin- guished thraits of the modern wife, and n could rightly lay to her charge the accusation that she is either helpless 1T stupid in any form of domestic management.
 But is it true that, with her splen- did powers and capacities, the young modern wife neglects or disdains the more subtle gifts of patience, gentle ness. faith and tenderness? One wonders if jhe very recreations and occupations that have made her healthy in body have hardened her to the finer things of the spirit.
 1t is argued that nowadays women are afraid of indulging in sentiment and romance. The modern wife pre- fers to have critical friend rather than a purely loving companion who prefers to urn her eyes away from he flaws and shortcomings in the man she loves.
 Real love rules out all criticism that is not born to itself, and in the anxiety to improve her husband md bring him up to her superior level, perhaps the young wife may only succeed in driving away the real happiness of her married life.-N. Y. Fy

 After the toilet of the face has been completed it is well to rub it with silk handkerchief, this gives a polish, not a shine, to the face which IS very pleasing.
 An oil rub if your skin is harsh and dry will be exceedingly beneficial and will help put it in normal c9ndi- ton. The Greek bath in which seven par.s of pure olive oil and one part of the oil of lavender is used is exquisite and exceeding refreshing

Some Very retty
 Cushion Novelties

CreWel work is now extensively employed in the decoration of cush- ions, shoHy, but durable, and in har mony with the favorite designs of cretonne with black foundation. Large examples in black cloth are relieved by an all-over pattern of flowers and foliage delineated with crewels in numerous tones of Wools, and a touch of glittering silk. The shading of both blossoms and leaves is very artistic. This old style of embroidery is likewise conspicuous on smaller gray cushions simply embroidered across the top with a garland of white and yellow flowers.
 Applique work is responsible for many cushions in gray and fawn lin- en, enlivened by humorous and pie turesque sketches depicting either a cock, jester, Dutch couple re- turning for market, or again, two peasant children on their way to dance These rustic pictures are modelled with scraps of linen in vivid hues. says an Eastern maga- zine.
 Other homely and attractive cush- ion covers display pictures printed in colors on the linen ground. A large assortment of cushion covers in diff ferent sizes, colors, and materials are sold ready to be slipped on and fast ened with buttons at a minutes mo- tice.
 The rows of gathering, gauging and fittings which have for any months encircled ottoman cushions, or cr2ss- ed slantwise elongated ones, are still lavishly employed with many varia- tions. In a few examples the gath cred rows encroach on the central round panel, generally of some rare embroidery or antique brocade, which Is thus inclosed within miniature frame of vandykes in dark satin, Another idea is to alternate the erin kled zones with flat insertions in either bright-colored chintz, cretonne or lowered silk Workers manipu- late this gauged trimmings according to their own fancy.

4 FOOT SMOOTHER

It sounds absurd, of course, to speak of sandpapering ones feet; but some night after you have been on vour feet all day, and they ache and smart from walking a good deal CT from standing over a stove full of reserves. you just try it.
 New stiff shoes press relentlessly upon cer, ain parts of the feet, making them chafed and lame; and the con- stant friction caused by middle aged or old shoes results in little areas
 f calous flesh, hard ridges on the soles and rouehness at the back and sides of the heels, Sandpapering is a blessed comfort in all these foot troubles.
 As soon as you take your shoes off, rub all the rough, tired spots very gently with piece Of the finest grained and most pliable sandpaper you can buy. Do not use the coarse quality. which might rub the feet raw. Even the grade that is used for manicurina purposes is a little to -ough.
 Do not ba he the feet before sand 9apering them. Keep up the gentle rubbing for some time, brushing away the powder of deadened skin removed by the sandpaper until the flesh feels smooth and tender.
 While the callous. roughened places need the most attention, it will not 10 any harm 10 rub the entire foot.
 When the rubbing down is finished put the feet into warm water for few minutes When they are dried vou will find them as satiny, soft and pink as a baby's. and thoroughly rested. + isn't a bad plan to give the feet a sandpapering every few days, and not wait for them to get harden ad and callOus.

The Critical Wife and Home

Among the complaints launched against the girl of the twentieth cen tury there is one that she may take to heart and study seriously.
 The question prOpOunded is this: Does the modern girl show up badly when she marries? Many critics aver that soon after the happy day has passed her character under3oes a surprising transformation. It is urg- ed that she becomes arrogant, i'm perious. overcritical of the man she loves-in short that in her capacity as wife she reveals qualities that apparently only matrimony has brought into play
 Not An Enemy.
 It is the commonest thing nova days to hear wives discussing their husbands from the view of one who regards man as Woman's natural enc my.
 Again and again it is declared that the busy practical temperament of the modern wife often drives out the sof Ger qualities of tenderness that factor in matrim ny that prevents the overcritical attitude. Sentiment and romance flee away before criticism.
 There is a tendency to ignore as much as possible what some wives scoffingly call the "hearthstone' al titude The husband who may openly declare his opinion that it is a good thing f r wives to find most of their happiness in the precincts of their own home is criticised as hopelessly old fashioned, with perhaps the add ed sheer of middle class.

SCENTED BOWS.

Have you noticed fetching bows of satin peeping through the lace of q lingerie blouse? These bows have a deeper purpose than that of decora- tion. Pretty as they are, they are constantly giving forth delicious fragrance, for each of the padded loops is scented with sachet powder The sachet used is scented with one of the popular bouquet odors and is particularly lasting.
 There are stunning roses scented with the same fragrance which add an effective bit of color to any cos tune when thrust carelessly through the sash or belt These roses are made of satin and have the long stem and foliage. The scent, the shape and the cclor make them an excellent imitation of the real thing.

GOOD DRAWSTRING.

One woman is kept busy making crochet drawstrings, which brings her a nice income weekly, according to the Dallas News. Instead of using ribbon to run through underwear, she crochets draWstrings, as they can be easily laundered in the garment without being removed. and in the long run are less expensive. She buys a medium-size white crochet cotton and doubles, or sometimes uses three strands, then crochets q loose chain stitch the desired length. A loop or knot is made at the end as finish,

A DANGEROUS HABIT,

One bad habit which most people overlook is keeping the mouth open while awake or sleeping The lips should be kept closed, except when talking or eating. This does not mean tightly closed, so as to form hard line or pucker, but just closed in an agreeable smile.
 The habit of keeping the mouth open, either waking CT sleeping, is bad for the health. Particles of mat ter accumulate around the neck of the teeth and in the cracks from such exposure The membranes covering the gums and lining the lips and mouth at the same time lose their natural delicacy and healthy char acter, growing unpleasant; parched and stiff, so that speech becomes diff ficult and imperfect.

REARRANGiNG ROOMS.

There is something very attractive about a room that does not always present the same appearance. Pic lures should be changed when they are net too valuable. Curtains are also valuable in altering the appear ance of room.
 New cushions, table covers and other ornaments that are inexpensive may also be employed to bring about a change A bouquet of flowers or a plant, each in it's season. gives a pleasing change to room.

coLoRED HANDKERcHiEFs.

The vogue for tiny handkerchiefs with colored borders makes the ques- ton of laundering them a very inn portant point The handkerchiefs should first be soaked for ten min utes in a basinful of tepid water, to which a teaspoonful of turpentine has been added. This vii ensure their retaining their color, and after the soaking they can be washed in the ordinary way.

WHEN CALLERS DROP IN.

It is a good plan to always keep some sewing handy so that if some one comes in during the day to make long call you will find something ready to do while listening or talk ing.
 To make this plan work in the best way put with the bit of hand sewing everything you will need to finish i,; then you will mt have to interrupt the conversation to get something that has been forgotten.
