TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND II. ALLEN
THIMBLE, THIMBLE. WHO'S
GOT THE THIMBLE

1t seems funny, doesn't it, that
thimbles were ever made of leather,
and that they were first meant to be
worn on the thumb Because if this,
they were called "thumb-bells."
After a time, however, some clever
person found that they could be used
more successfully on the middle finger,
and now it seems strange to US that
they should ever have been worn any
other way.
The frst-and often the only thing
that woman thinks about when she
goes to buy a thimble, is the size.
Now, the size is important, for the
comfort, and much of the speed with
which you are able to dispatch your
sewing, depends upon the size of the
thimble you wear. Always buy one
that is large enough to allow the end
of the finger to strike the end of the
thimble The size is indicated by a
number placed on the thimble. They
come in eleven sizes, Nos. 2 to II.
The sizes for children run from 2 to
5.
But the satisfaction and service that
you are going to get out of a thimble
depends upon the material from which
it is made.
Where you want good, strong,
heavy thimble, it is best to get steel
one. 1t is a good idea to get one that
is plated inside with brass to prevent
rusting. Steel and aluminium are the
owest-priced thimbles.
Aluminium thimbles are satisfactory,
but they are extremely light. For that
reason, though, they are especially
good for children.
Celluloid makes a good thimble, and
is expensive They are somewhat
clumsy to handle, but fit neatly on the
finger.
The disadvantage Of silvered Thin
bles is that they are very apt to tar
nish.
Nickle-plated thimbles and those of
German silver give satisfactory serv-
ice. Sterling silver thimbles are ex-
tremely satisfactory, but these, of
course, cost more.
In buying inexpensive thimbles, al
ways examine them carefully for any
rough places. Thimbles also become
rough from much wear, and should
then be discarded at once, or they will
catch and pull the threads in the ma
terial that you are sewing.
Do you know that there are finger
shields made to be worn on the first
finger of the left hand to protect it
from the prickings of the needle?
These are made either of rubber or
celluloid, and are adjustable so as to
fit the size of any finger.

Romantic Story of CarIotta's Bracelet
Now Property of a Popular
Spanish Dancer.

One of the most romantic survivals
of the Mexican revolution is the story
of the bracelet of Carlotta.
Carlotta, daughter Of the king of
the Belgians, was the devoted wife of
Macmillan whom Louis Napoleon
placed on the chrome of Mexico, and
who, after establishing himself in i'm
periaI grandeur, was defeated by the
republican troops under Juarez, and
with two Of his generals Miramon and
MejIa, was executed by firing squad
on the hill of Las Campanas in 1867
The bracelet was an exquisite affair
of gold given by the emperor to Car
lotta at the time of their marriage
When Carlotta eft Mexico the brace
let was given by her to one Of her
ladies-in- waiting. But in the fight
from Mexico it was lost. 1t did not
appear again, as far as known until
1914, when it was seen by an Ameri-
can adjoining the wrist of woman
companion of one of Emiliano Zapa
ta's generals. This general shortly
afterward killed the woman in fit
of jealousy and The bracelet was taken

BUYING READY-MADES

Most women Of today consider
ready-to-wear garments boon in their
busy lives. No time spent in select
ing materials and planning dresses,
which in a homemade product are so
apt to be disappointment even when
f1nished-you have only to choose the
styles that are becoming to your fig
ure, try them on and see for yourself,
and let the manufacturers do the wor-
rying about styles and patterns.
In buying ready-made garments there
are many things to be considered, If
you would spend your money to the
best advantage:
First comes the choice of material
Is it good enough to justify the price
asked for it? If wash dress, will 1t
hold its color? If wool, will it hold
it's shape and wear we'll? Is the ma
terial suitable to the use for which
the garment is designed? In an eve
ming gown we do not demand service
ability, but the cloth in a street frock
must be durable, must stand up under
steady strain, and must not spot from
rain and mud.
Seconds the garment well nader
Look to see whether it is likely to pull
and fray at the seams. Examine the
stitching closely. Coarse or crooked
stitching can spoil the appearance of
the most promising creation The ten
sion Of the machine should have been
carefully adjusted so that the goods
do not pucker.
Third-Choice of trimming. After
selecting a good quality of cloth, see
that the trimmings are of good quail
ity also. Cheap trimmings have spoiled
many an otherwise attractive garment.
Frequently by removing cheap buttons
that are used as trimming and re-
placing them by others, or going with
out trimming altogether, a garment
may be greatly improved in appear
ance.
Fourth-The time spent in getting
In and out of clothes is an important
point in the busy Woman's life. Com
plicated fastenings, gfrdles, and collars
make dressing time consuming proc
ess. The present tendency is all to-
ward the simple dress of few fasten-
ings, that, in many instances, slips on
over the head.
Collars and vestees should be put
on with snappers so that they can be
freshened without cleaning the whole
garment. Girdles should be detach-
able. AS dry-cleaning is expensive in
most places, it is important that the
garment be one that can be cleaned
easily and cheaply.

Gramont dropped his head into his
hands. The pain of his forgotten
wounded arm stabbed him like knife.
He jerked his head sharply up, and
was aware that the agents had depart

and the latter was rising and holding
sout his hand smiling.
"Gramont, you got ahead of me in
this deal, and / congratulate you with
all my hearth" said Fell, earnestly.
Neither of as suspected the part
played by the other man! but you've

Gramont scarcely heard the words,
nor did he hear the door close. He
was still looking into the eyes of Luz
Gle Ledanois, and wondering if the
message they held was really meant
for him.

A typographical error once cost a

Genesis. There is a sentence in Gene
