minutes in this solution. Dissolve the
sublimate in small amount of hot wa

Woolly Novelties From Paris Are

New Neck Arrangements Are on Scarf

new supply is not anticipated, as the
trappers have gone 20 'Tar, and the
soldiers sent to Siberia and Russia
were not sent out without an effort
to mitigate the temperature of the
%nOrtherly climate.
The very high-pllced furs and the
very cheapest remain in market, but
the demand is not great. This is not
encouraging, but we still have Paris
to depend upon. Not that Paris can
supply US with furS-far from it-for
there are now very few furs left eX-

which will take the place Of fur and

FOR TABLE LINEN ECONOMY
Paper Napkins and Other Necessaries
Supplant More Costly Articles
Utilizing Worn-Out Materials.

On many a table formerly graced by
the daintiest and cOstliest table linen
n o finds the humble paper nap
kin used, while even at dinner, in
place Of a cloth, the simplest of seal
lOped centerpieces and dOilies cover
the glass-protected mahogany. Not
only are time, labor and money saved,
but also the wear and tear on fine lin.
en-, when who knows how or at what
price it can be replaced. The paper
towel may not be very satisfactory,
but it is of great advantage where
there are children, for it Is not only
economical, but absolutely sterile.
The hard usage of the laundry
causes many a table cloth to wear out
on the folds, and, while no longer fit
for the table, many are the uses to
which it can be put. If still in fairly
good condition the two outer sides can
be cut into runners about "a inches
wide for the breakfast table, and by
crossing them in the center of the ia
BILE places for four can be set. Or, If
you disdain to use paper napkins and
towels, cut your old cloths into nap
kins and towel size, hem neatly and
use to save your good linens.

"After-the-War" Dressing.

Discussion of the "after-the-war pc
Rod" is becoming more general, some
believing that it is too early to predict
which effect victory will have on
women and their mode Of living. One
:%outourier predicts that the most elab<
orate things will be made and women
should wear them as an expression Of
gictory. Banquets and receptions in
honor Of foreign visitors and our re-
turning men will demand such clothes,
and it is really up TO the women to
neal their h%eartaches as best they can
and lift the spirit of the country. The
English women have been doing this
for some time; they have avoided
mourning and are creating as gay a
note MS possible in acknowledgements
