New Things for the
Shops.

Have you seen the new chime tops:
They give much happiness to children
and they also add to the enjoyment OF
grown-ups. for they are decidedly
clever. Each top has half a dozen
tones. When it begins to spin it sings
on one tone. A tap of the hand
on the top changes the tone, and sue
successive tones. Smaller ones ring
the changes on fewer tones.
There are sled rails which you can
buy to attach to any sled you may
happen to have to make that same
sled suitable for very small child,
not old enough to keep its seat on an
ordinary child's sled. These are just
the railing to make a safe place of
the back part of the sled, and they
screw into place quite neatly and Sc
curely.
There is some lovely new colored
table linen-white centers, that is. and
colored edges. 1t come in shades of
green and blue, pink, red. brown and
yellow. Sometimes, even, it comes In
a lovely light violet shade. The col
ored edge is made into a design Of
floral sort.
Sets of cooking bowls. six in a set
of graded sizes, with half a dozen
little custard cups to match. may be
bought by the housewife who needs
such things for three dollars a set.
They are in a lovely yellow-brow
stoneware, quaint in color and design.
| One of the new hats for southern
Iwear is made of taffeta silk, crinkled
like paper. At least, that is the best
description that one can give of the
| fine crumpled surface of the silk. The
result is exceedingly effective.
! Coque feather collars are sold tc

with the coat suit. They come in col
They are rather f1at-not cylindrical
as memory seems to think they were
| in their last incarnation. They are
an admirable choice for the woman
| going south or, later on, for ou1
northern spring.
| Leather straps form the trimmings
on some of the new serge frocks
They are cut narrow and short, and
circle of gilt braid, like a button in
| effect.
Hats made of small artificial roses
| are one of the late-winter efforts OF
the milliners. They are decidedly at
tractive. Whether they become popu-
lar or not remains to be seen. One
of roses of faded pink is trimmed
with a wide band of crushed brown
ribbon around the crown. the ends
of the ribbon falling over the edge OF
the hat brim.
! A frock for southern wear is made
| of heavy white crepe de chine or one
| Of the other silk crepes. 1t is made
| with a scalloped lower edge, which is
lined for a depth Of ten inches with
scarlet. which shows in the form of a
piping of the scarlet around the bot
tom of each scallop. The same color
| is used for the wide crushed girdle
and for a line of piping at the neck.

Cleaning Electric Lamp Shades.

Electric lights are so bright that
any dust on bulb or shade shows up
very plainly. The dainty housekeeper
keeps them busted and has an occa-
sional general cleaning day for them.
1t is a fusSy task, because you are
so apt to break the filamentS of the
bulbs.
Two persons are better at it than
one, and can do it in less than half
the time. Summon your aid. there
fore, and get out the stepladder.
Gather together a brush, a wet dust
er, soap, two dry busters, two tea
towels and basin of hot water. Let
one person mount the stepladder and
hand down the shade and bulb to
her aid. who will wash them while
she is busting and cleaning the fix
ture. All the parts of the fixture
should be wiped with the wet buster
and then carefully dried. For chains,
the brush must be used, to remove all
the dust. Shades and bulb are wash
ed and dried like any fine glass, but
bulbs especially are difficult to dry
nicely. 1t is always more satisfactory
to turn on the light as each is fin
ished, to make sure both that it is
properly screwed in and the electric
connection made and that it is really
clean.
1t is easier to do the lights one by
one in this way than to gather them
all at the sink in the kitchen to wash
them, and there is much less danger
of breaking them. They are much
worse to handle than dishes, because
of their unaccommodating shape.
Water for the bulbs and shades
must not be too hot. nor too soapy.
Towels must be very clean and very
dry. Some people like to use SOFT
paper for drying the bulbs. and II you
have a. supply of old pattern tissue
naper on hand it can be used for this
purpose very nicely.
