NEW YORK, November 2-There are
two sets of smart overcoats worn by
the woman who is given over to the
borrowing of mans attire or those por-
tions of it that suit her convenience or
her manner of living. One set gets its
topCoat ideas direct from Paris. the
other from Inverness or Burberry The
man of parts admits that he must have
half dozen overcoats to see him
through the varying seasons and occa-
sions OF the year, but the average
woman does not want but one. unless
she goes in for the life of sport and
has a country place for half the year
she has them to suit her whims.

Russian Coat Again
Makes Its Appearance

1t is interesting to notice that the
Russian coat had been revived in de-
cidedly modified form ere we thought
that Russia would he SO much in the
war news. Naturally it will now be
worn. and will be pretty compliment
TO the allies.
A new idea in this respect is to have
the coat contrasting color to the
skirt
For instance. an ultra-smart model
had quite plain black velvet skirt of
a comfortable walking length, the coat
being cerise. bordered with black fox.
The hat that acco mpanied this had
certain suggestion of military form In
velvet with a doublure of -cerise, the
brim softened with black fox.
The Vogue for Velvet.
Another original and the attractive
idea is the Eton coat, from which falls a
deep basque. which is neatly pleated. al
though it must be confessed that it Is
more often slightly draped. AS matter
of fact the basques extend to the hem
of the skirts and have the appearance Of
a tunic. These coats are very economi-
cal. as they can be worn with a great
variety of skirts. Again. their aspects
can he metamorphosed by waistcOats; of
this accessory a special feature is being
made.
Furthermore. the sash occupies a prom
inent role and is arranged some inches
below the waist line. The tight-fitting
coats have passed into the realm of
things forgotten. the new models being
, all semi-htting. some having clusters of
pleats at the side below The belt or sash.
Clusters of pleats on the skirt are a
novelty that has much to commend it.
Generally speaking, the fashions II the
coming season are characterized by~good
taste and are of far more solid ma
ture than We have been accustomed to
for some time. Velvet is making bid
for favor and as there is nothing more
beconsing it is safe to predict that 1t
will have heightened period of pros
perity.

Household Hints.

To- clean violin. wash it very care
fully with soap and water. seeing to IL
that not a drop runs inside. or dip a
piece of soft silk in para fin oil and rub
the violin with it. The interior of the
violin should be cleaned with dry rice.
To keep brooms in proper shape,
souse them about in the suds. after
boiling the clothes on wash day. bend
ing them into shape as you do this;
then rinse, shake well and stand to dry
upside down.
One of the best acids for cleaning the
fingernais is lemon juice. A dessert
spoonful of lemon juice in cupful of
warm soft water will loosen the cuticle
of the nails and remove stains and dis
colorations.
Blankets should be washed through
three waters, warm, not hot. The first
should have strong. very strong. soap
suds; the second less soap, and the
third just enough soap to make the
water appear milky They should then
be wrung slightly, thrown over the line
and then pulled straight. If they
should not be dry when evening comes,
fold them and put them in a wash
basket and hang again in the sun the
following day, and the day thereafter,
dry.
One of the best ways to clean var
nished furniture fwhen there are no
scratches deeper than the varnish on
it) is to wash 1t with warm suds. or
clean it with gasoline or turpentine.
Polish with turpentine and crude oil,
equal parts, or equar parts of alcohol,
olive oil and vinegar.
To remove fresh ink stains from the
hands moisten the phosphorus end OF a
match and rub the stain on the finger
with it; or put few drops of oxalic
acid in the water used in washing off
the stain.
To remove the odor of onions from
the hands rub them with raw potato.
Another way to remove pitch and
paint stains is to scrape off as much
as possible, then soften the spots with
olive oil or lard; it may take several
hours. Then soak and wash them in
turpentine or chloroform.
To remove pitch and turpentine
stains. soften them with alcohol and
then sponge off with more alcohol.
