One Of the latest fashions from
Paree is the wearing Of hosiery OF
black and white check design in Isle
thread and in silk. The squares are
rather small and go excellently with
the checked trotteur or the little frock
of shepherd plaid in taffeta or louis
inc.

/ pet follow these directions: Cut an
ounce of yellow soap into small
squares and make into a lather with
pint of boiling water. Add to this
quart Of water and l ounce Of bo-
rax and bring to a boil. When quite
cold add an ounce each Of alcohol and
ammonia and half an ounce Of glyc-
erin. Wipe over a small portion of

fayorite fabrics for spring and sum-
mer blouses. Whole dresses and many
blouses will be made Of this. the
blouses, especially, in fawn and dust
colored shades, which are supposed to
go better than any other with dark

display high collars. They fall loosely
about the throat. Some Of the high

At this season of the year brides
are almost as plentiful as flowers and
the question of What shall give the
bride?" is and will be agitating many
a mind during the next few months
Nearly every girl has many friends
who are anxious to present her with
a handsome and useful wedding pres
ent. 1t is very difficult at times to
think of gifts which will be useful and
at the same time will not be duplicat-
ed or tripled among other presents.
There are so many things suitable Tor
wedding gifts that it should not De
difficult to make a selection. The nrst
point to be considered in buying a
wedding present Is the future and
present means and station OF the bride
does she come from wealthy ram
ily, is she going to marry a wealthy
man or is she going to become the
wife Of one whose means are limited!
Lamps are lovely presents and can be
bought cheap. The donor OF a lamp
need fear no duplication because the
bride can use many lamps in her
home. Covers for tables make useful
wedding presents and very dainty ones
too. Another acceptable gift to new
lyweds Is a set Of Poe's, Dickens or
other classical works. Any present
in silverware or glassware is accept

things for bedroom usage. Bureau,
window and bed sets in dainty null,
of white, pink or blue, are as welcome
as can be. Toilet articles, manicure
sets, or mirror, brush and comb are
always acceptable, and all these things
are well within the means Of any
buyer.

If your skin is susceptible to cold
winds you should always wear veil?
After a fowl of any kind is cleaned,
the inside should be rubbed thorough
ly with a piece Of lemon before the
dressing is put on?
1t is very bad for the hair for one
to wear heavy headgear?
Oldtime glace silks are much en-
ployed for the new full skirts?
Wonder how many readers Of this
column believe that women should be
given the ballot? Doubtless ninety
nine per cent of them and the others
will come round to the same way Of
thinking. Golfers Weekly has this
to say on the subject Of Woman Suf-
frage: within ten years or less wo-
men will be voting on the same terms
as men in most of the states, and the
backward remnant will be hustling to
catch up. The movement has passed
the stage Of doubt and ridicule, and
has almost passed the stage Of argu-
ment. The change from the indiffer-
ence of twenty years ago is amazing.
