spots Apply 1t thickly and let 1t stand for several days. If this is not effec- tive sponge the material first on one side. then on the other. with spirits Of wine: then press over piece of thick linen
 Candle Wax-Put a sheet Of blot ting paper under the spot and another over it Heat with hatiron and the wax will be removed by the plotting paper.
 Milk-Wh White soap and warm water should be used to take out milk stains. It should be used Immediately
 Ink-There are various good ink eradicators on the market. and it is well to have bottle of one of these on hand. Another method is to dip
 the ink stained article into milk The milk should not be allowed to dry on. but if it does not remove the ink with in 2 short time 1t should be washed
 out and fresh application of milk made.
 Tea Stains. Clear warm water
 should be used to remove tea stains. Coffee--Pour boiling water through
 the coffee stains as quickly after the conee is spilled as possible This is a never falling remedy if the spots are fresh Otherwise it may be necessary I to repeat it several times. l | Rain Spots.-W When cloth that has
 not been sponged is spotted from the rain spread damp cloth over the
 wrong side of the material and iron ii dry.
 1 Ice Cream.-Anything on which Ice cream has been spilled should be sponged with chloroform. Use several thicknesses of clean white plotting pa per under the spotted article. Gasoline Spots--Sometimes gasoline leaves a ring on cloth in which it has been used to remove a stain. This ring can be removed by holding the ringeo cloth over steam. Sometimes this method does not remove the ring. The only thing to do in that case is to dir
 the whole of the garment on which the
 ring appears Into gasoline. 1 Grass Spots-As soon as grass stains are detected on summer frocks cover
 them with molasses or with lard and
 the stains will disappear.

 New fashions follow the wars as closely as flock of sheep follows the befMether, so it is fairly safe to pre- dict that military fashions la Russe, "a Ia Serb, etc. will be evolved by our fashion experts.
 But variety will make for picturesque ness. We are inclined too much toward uniformity of garb. Conservative Wo-
 men follow instead of lead; they affirm that they do not wish to be conspfcu- ous. The natural style leader is bound to be noticeable, however. though she is not necessarily obliged to be bizarre. Simplicity is quite as noticeables
 Before the war situation became a menace the importers received some advanced autumn models. four of which are Illustrated here.

ROCK CRYSTAL JEWELRY PoPu-

E- WHERE is novelty in 1ewelry so
 very new that it has scarcely been put upon the market. so exquisite that every woman who has seen it desires to possess a piece Of it. so costly that few are able to purchase any of it, so different from anything heretofore shown that it promises to become a general craze.
 This is the rock crystal jewelry WI ich is gemmed with pearls and dia- mo. ls The rock crystal is cut in thin lat forms and then etched in such a ma uer that it is at once a sugges- tion o1 the star sapphire and the moon stone. A mounting of platinum is then added and white diamonds only or diamonds and pearls, as mt1ady chooses. The completed ornament is so definitely bridelike that it will be most popular among items for wedding gifts for the approaching season, though it is one of the rare fashions that are as suitable for the girl of sew enteen and the matron as for the bride.
 One of the best designs in which it is shown is the bar brooch This is not to be confused with the out of mode bar shirt waist pin The former is one of the ornaments most in vogue at present. There are, however, to be pieces of this rock crystal 1oveliness executed in every jeweled thing that is at present in favor. It may be had only of the best of Fifth avenue jewell CTS. It proclaims this fact afar, for it answers to the demand of the mode for glitter. but announces the woman of good taste in that it rejects every hint of garishness.
 The latest in rings is so constructed that the flesh is displayed between in terstices of the mounting. The mount tngs themselves are still of fairy work nanship. so wonderfully wrought are they.
