Care of Delicate Gloves.

In the little matter of taking OIL
gloves there is right and wrong
way. The right way is to turn the
wrists back over the hand and pull
them off wrong side out. If they are
in the least dampened by moisture from
the hand, leave them few moments
to dry out, but before doing this gently
stretch them lengthwise from the lip
to the palm, to the original shape
When dry, scan them carefully for the
faintest giving way OF Il thread. A
stitch in time saves q whole finger
end in the case of gloves. The stitch
should be taken with fine glove thread

a fine needle and sewing on the right side.
Then, after busting them lightly with
powder If still damp, lay them neat y
in glove box. keeping light pairs
folded in tissue paper and in recep-
tacles long enough to permit their be-
ing laid at full length.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.

The suit one dresses in, walks and

than any other garment of any other

For this reason it is always adj

every sense of the word; something in
cooperating durable materials, becom-

Fancy Cotton Goods.

In cotton dress goods sheer varieties
take the lead. Organizes come in stiff,
medium stiff and natural finish. The
stif sort is used mostly for trimmings
They are beautiful in floral prints and
in well spaced dots. Dotted swisses,
embroidered swisses and embroidered
marquisettes are in high favor.
Printed designs in fine cotton dress
goods are up to the standard of those
seen in the most expensive silks, and
not least among these are the printed
and embroidered voiles in exquisite
colorings. These and colored cotton
crepes can be washed repeatedly with
out injury to the fabric. Plain piques
will be popular for separate skirts and
the embroidered piques for trimmings.

NEW YORK. March 15.-It is in de-
tails that new fashions are really divided
from old. and these sometimes count
more than materials, trimmings. colors.
For instance. our coats and bodfces have
leaped from one kind of fastening to
another recently. and We have tried to
follow them. sometimes catching up at
the very moment that new way came
into being: now it looks as though this
changing process was to be in full
swing this spring. and therefore the
woman who recognizes the Importance
of such things had best watch out that
she is not caught mapping.
But there are also definite new lines
TO be established this spring. There, for
instance, is the wide skirt The ma
jority of US not only knew all about
that change, but had tried it out since
October. Women who came home from
Paris with these new wide skirts and
had them narrowed to suit prevailing
styles here are now exceedingly soy
they were persuaded into changing the
outline, for it must again be widened
il one Is to be in the picture.
Another important line is the estab-
fishment of the normal. or near normal,
waist line, as against the low moyen-age
girdle, and II looks as though We would
see the revival Of the princess frock
with its fitted top from neck to hips.

WHEN YOU WASH YOUR
HAIR DON'T USE SOAP

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which Is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsif1ed cocoanut oil. for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soap or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store. and n few
ounces will last the whole family
for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in; about a teaspoonful is
all that Is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft. fresh looking.

handle. Besides, 1t loosens and
