NOVELTIES In CHECKS.

Indications in the women's suit field
point toward vogue for checked eff
fects for spring wear. The checks are
seen in a variety of sizes-some are
square and some are oblong-ranging
from those almost on the Bingham,
order to those of a plain character.
Novelties in the latter checks show
two-tone effects in the crossed stripes
that form them. Most of the suits
show the skirts and jackets made of
the same materials, but in some of
them the materials in the Jacket con-
trasts with that in the skirt. Often,
when this is the case. the material
in the skirt is used to face the lapels
of the jacket and to pipe the pockets.

REsrFuL TREATMENT.

Often when one has been shopping or
otherwise engaged in the afternoon she
comes home tired and frequently with
headache, which contracts the lines
of the brow and face.
When this condition arises begin i'm
mediately to remove all clothes, par
ticularly the corsets and shoes, and
loosen the hair. Then battle the face
with warm water, until it CLOVIS. Mas
sage with good skin food, rubbing it
in with easy movement, following the
method for facial massage. Use the
skin food liberlly and rub it in quickly
and vigorously. Then battle the face
again with hot water, using a little
pure soap to remove the surplus grease.
Lastly, battle the face In cold water
in which a few drops of a good toilet
water have been dropped.
When bathing the face with hot wa
ter, massaging with cream and stirnu-
lating with cold water, be careful not
to irritate the skin by OVERRIDING it,
rubbing too hard or using water that
is either too hot or too cold.

WARRLY DOOR HANnLE-

A trouble which often goes uncured
is a loose and wabbly door handle.
The cure is simple. Remove the lit
tie screws, take the knobs, spindle and
round shield off, after you have noted
what is the amount of play" Some
times a washer will tighten the han
die, but if that doesn't, get a piece Of
leather (old pieces are sold by shoe
makers) and cut a leather washer to
size. Make hole in the center for
the spindle. It doesn't take a minute
to push the spindle through and screw
the knob back onto it again.

A PLATED BLOUSE.

An accordion plated blouse of Can
ton crepe, cut upon kimono lines. was
an unusually treated complement to
a black kasha suit. This, as well as
the ernphatically stressed accordion

dress and suit neck lines and cuffs,
attests a certain favor of this mode.

BLooMER FRocks FOR CHILDREN

The popularity Of the bloomer frock
for small children, ranging from two
to six year sizes, rather eclipses all
other types Of dresses or garments
for these particular ages.
An array of new cotton numbers
has been developed in a distinctly
popular grade of merchandise in alto
gether useful styles, with prices
marked accordingly. Domestic cham
bray, Bingham, challis and pongee
form the fabric choice.
For the most part, the perferreo
style shows the little overgarment
developed upon the simplest lines OF
a smoek or peasant apron, divided II
some instances the full length of tbs
sides, up to the armpits, with a little
tie girdle. Frequently also the use
of two fabrics is liked, especially where
checked ginghams and plain cham.
brays are selected. An example q
this was done with china blue anJ
white checked Bingham for the uppei
section, ruffled in solid blue chanbray
matching the little nantiase.

CARE OF FURNITURE.

Soap should never be used on wood

treated with furniture wax or oil It
possesses the property of destroying
oily and resinous substances, and thus
tends to eat away the coating, destroy
the polish and expose the wood.

DUSTY WALLS.

An excellent way to brush down
dusty walls is to take a roll of cotton
batting and fasten a thick pad of it
on the end of stick. With this go
over all of the wall surface, burning
