many of the old songs familiar to
music lovers. as II was Seeing Nellie

the mLndolin-guitar quintette were well

dramatic line is we'll known In this city.
The reading" was one end of a tele-

For the Home NeedIeWorker.
Real Shirtwaists Again.
BY HELEN HOWE.

The woman who has been accustomed
to make her own simple blouses,
house dresses and everyday sum-
mer frocks will rejoice in the
change in styles, for it has been very
difficult the last two years for the
average house mother who is handy
with her needle to show good results
by her labor. There was neither 49,.
nor material in the dresses. she claimed
with truth. and finished dress did
one no credit at all.
This season she has come into her
own again. and she can have blouses
that do not blouse. and skirts that can
hang gracefully, If she wishes, since
these are the fashionable models. This
she probably knows, but she may be
uncertain as to what materials to get
For blouses the home steamstress
may safely invest in tub silks, linen,
voile, plain and dotted. and, of course.
materials will be more popular. and
these are made up in the mannish fash
ion OLA few years ago, with conven-
tional shirt sleeves and high or low
collars. There is no great display of
neck in any of the new models. Since
the style is so devoid of trimming, the
utmost care in cutting and sewing is
necessary to success: for instance, the
waistband and slit in the sleeve. If
the seamstress has forgotten how to do
this correctly, she should examine
mans shirt sleeve well. or. better still.

new ribbed silk. the rib being almost
broad enough to look like corduroy.

This coat may be lined with wool
with padded Japanese silk or with a
light make of flannel.
The fleecy and very hairy woolen
coats are more in vogue than any
other style of woolen coat, and the
hairier surface they snow the more up
to-date they are. OF course, these
hairs are very soft and silky, having
the finish of the true camefs hair cloth.
They are very cleverly woven, for the
longer hairs are frequently of lighter
color than the wool itself. giving the
whole coat peculiarly soft and almost
downy appearance.

Your Feet at This Season.

Wet feet are the root Of many ills.
and yet few women. and fewer girls.
are as careful as they should be in
having their footwear absolutely
watertight. Infiammatory rheumatism
and much aching. pain and WEAKNESS
would be avoided If the feet were
more carefully guarded.
Warm feet are essential to health
and comfort. Light footwear keeps
the feet cold. Wear good fitting but
not too tight shoes, boots and slippers.
If you are prone to bad circulation
slip a woolen sock inside the boot.
Such socks. when Of the right size, are
not bulky. and they can be purchased
for small sum.
Avoid thin-soled shoes: all the Rai-
ters and fur coats made would not
prevent dampness from entering such
fancy soles and striking an inward
chill.
Nothing is more painful than a
bunion, and these suffer during the
cold weather. Relief can be given by

Want Hats Early.
The desire for a new piece of milli-
merry strikes US before the desire for a
new suit or frock. We tire of hats
speedily. They present to US an easy
method of change. The threadbare suit
even takes on a fresh luster because
of a new hat and a new blouse. In
these accessories we have the chance
to brighten up a costume that must
stay by us until We are quite ready to
full service for money paid.
There are SO many types of satin
hats that We can easily suit our faces
and our temperaments. for hats are ex-
than the clothing that covers the body.
All one has to do to discover this
fact is to watch the women of ones
acquaintance buy a hat. The very

there is an evident disposition to ar
range the hair again in the roll above
