WHAT LYCERIN WILL DO.

COFFEE stains can be removed from
~ table linen and from delicate silks by
careful brushing of the spot with gly-
cerin. Rinse with lukewark water an
press on the wrong side with a moderate
iron.
Peach stains can be removed from
wash material by moistenng the spot
with glycerin. Let stand for while and
then wash.
To remove stains from white flannel
take equal parts of glycerin and the yolk
of an egg.
Glycerin can be used to soften the
water. Put two tablespoonful in the
water in which you soak your Clothes
and two tablespoonfuls in the boiling
water. Add a tablespoonful to the water
with which the floor is scrubbed. 1t will
not only soften the water and make the
floor white. but it will protect the hands
and keep them soft and white. Glycerin
and water is a good wash and softener
for the hands. A person having a greasy
skin rareIy finds glycerin helpful, but
i, those who have dry skins find it very
helpful.
There are many other uses to which it
may be put, such as softening leather

All this activity on the part OF the

Chantilly lace with little chiffon roses,

over the roses in the lace with gold

Lace, by the way. is very heavily used
in evening frocks and blouses. The all
lace blouse is not SO much in evidence
as is the blouse OF lace combined with
chiffon, velvet and velours and silk

A NUMBER of the suit jackets are
~ made In cutaway effect: some have
= the eton front and long coat tail
back, and others are cutaway from be-
low the waist line. Still others are long,
both back and front, presenting an ap-
pearance similar to that Of the redingote
There are many semi-fitted effects in
jackets. Some fancy jackets are made
very loose in the back, giving cape eff
feet, while others are really made with
capes. When capes are used they are
attached by buttons or snap fasteners,
so that the cape can be removed If the
styles change. and an ordinary straight
suit jacket will remain.
The skirts Of suit jackets are made
with considerable fullness. Some are
made full all around, others have the
fullness confined to the sides or back.
Many variations of the tunic are used
with the short coat, some being pleated,
others mounted on a yoke. others start
ing from the side front, giving the effect
OF a panel. Sometimes the under petit
coat is accordion-pleated and made Of
silk.
Sometimes the low waist line is fin

a thousand times before. And now
here is Paris, different Paris, to be
sure, but Paris still interested in

and so did some Of the other dress
makers. The buyers were almost all
of them from the United States and
South America, but they were Detter
than no buyers at all, and they might
be the means of keeping Paris tho cen
ter of the world of fashion. Iney were
worth holding openings for. 80 tue
openings were held.
Moreover, In some Of the hotels thas
that are still open, running with reouceo
forces, little fashion shows are neia
Just as they are at our big hotels. Ana
one enterprising milliner sends q new
hat every morning to be shown TO the
guests at a certain hotel.
The styles of the autumn. as they
have SO far been forecasted, emphasize
the redingote. It cannot be doubted
that the coat in redingote style Is al
ready established. Cheruit, who Is cred
tied with being the first to revive It,,
lays great emphasis upon 1t, and her
redingotes hang straight from the
shoulder to the hem.
Callot, too, shows many redingotes,
but these are drawn in at the waist
and flare below it. Prenet shows coats

A CANNING HINT.

AvEGETABLE soup is one Of the
"A best canned helps to the house
keeper. Cut into small pieces some
tomatoes, onions. parsley. carrots.
sweet peppers. okra. etc. Stew to-
gether until thoroughly done. To each
pint Jar add half a teaspoonful of
salt. Flavor with celery. These soup
vegetables are SO delicious that just
the addition of boiling water makes
a very palatable soup. Two large
teaspoonfuls Of beef extract to a quart
of boiling water and Jar of the
canned vegetables make a delicious
soup.

tremely decollete bodice Of chantilly lace,
which left arms and shoulders al
most exposed. as they were mounted over
the merest excuse for lining. really de-
manded a wrap Of some sort.
So 1t Is that the separate coat or some
other sort of useful wrap is enjoying a
tremendous vogue. The really smart
woman has almost as big an assortment
of these garments as she has of separate
blouses. Some of them are of silk, some
of chiffon and velvet, and some, now,
Of fur and broadcloth.
The woman who cannot have SO many
clothes Is well content with the fashion
for redingotes, for coat Of this style
can be worn as a separate coat with
one-piece frocks.
Really the one-piece frock. which is
more and more worn. can be credited
with much Of the popularity Of the sep
arate wrap. That and the lace decollete
bodices are perhaps equally responsible
for this fashion.
Some Of the small speciality houses are
showing American buyers charming aft
ernoon costumes. consisting Of a silk
skirt. to be worn with lace or chiffon
bodice. and a short velvet coat with a
haring peplum.
