FORM FITTING
 CLOTHES IN STYLE

Atlantic City, \. J., Jan. s1.---It was settled at the opening session here of the National Association of Merchant Tailors that, after the style of Uncle Sans fighting men, the well dressed civilian will wear during 1919 form fitting raiment."
 To speak in trade terms, masculine styles for the ensuing twelve months are sprightly without conspicuousness, dashing without verging' on extremes. youthful In temperament and inspira- tional."
 It was added that in place of fan nels of the past men will wear recre- ational raiment, fashioned in silk. fine linens and other delicate fabrics
 It remained for a New York ex- hfbitor to shatter evening clothes tra- ditions by the introduction of a dou- ble breasted dinner jacket. It was pronounced the artistic offering for slim men only.
 The death knell was given to the belted overcoat. Henceforth, if the tailors deluxe have their way limited coats will be strapped and tabbed and l pleated. Riding coats are to have
 "faring skirts" and storm ulsters to
 have cuffs upon sleeves. | Other fashions may develop as the
 annual convention progresses.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

In order not to hurt the eyes peel onions under running water or over a fire.
 A bit of blueing in the water in which glass is washed adds much to it's brilliancy.
 When frying doughnuts use 1-4 suet and also put 3 or 3 slices of raw potato with each frying. Cakes will not soak fat and will not be greasy on the outside.
 To set the color, add a teaspoon of sugar of lead to one pailful of wa ter. Soak 5 minutes before washing.
 To prevent shrinkage, pour cold water on 1t in the tub and allow 1t to soak for some hours; then stretch and allow to dry. Always shrink flannel before making it into a gar ment.
 To raise or lower a window that is difficult of access, screw a small pulley wheel into board under upper casing, put a strong screw eye into the centre of the top sash of lower window, tie a knot in long piece of rope, put into screw eye, draw the end of rope through to knot and then up over pulley wheel. Have the rope long enough to come down to mid dle of window. Pull down on rope to raise window and fasten to a hook Put into center of board under window sill. This little device has saved me much trouble.
