JULIA BOTTOMLEY. CONCERNING USE OF PLUMES Newest Trimming in Millinery Shows Styles Such as Our Mothers Never Dreamed Of. The newest trimnming in millinery empha.izes the ule of Ilrules. Such pl]u teM! The word clnjures up at' In finite variety of styles of whichour mnothers or grandmothers knew noth Ing, and fair women of today can be doubly grateful for the efforts 'f milli ners. Garlands of plumes are used on broad, low bats. They are spotted and flecked with color, and some are made of layers of different shades, giving a wonderfully irridescent effect. On velvet turbans the use of a sin gle plume attached at the front, and extending toward the back In a slant ing line. is quite evident. This line for the plume is used on large hats as well. And speaking of the wide, flat shapes leads us to the introduction of ostrich feathers to edge the brim. Two successful Paris milliners have done this with great effe ct. Feather rosettes are made of ostrich plumes. Concentric circles of cut feathers are placed around a jeweled center. At the side of a turban or on the upturned brim of a large velvet hat this new type of ornament is ex tremely chic. A feather band is bleng used on many large hats. Black and white plumnes are favored f(r those orna ments. They are detachable, hooking i at one side. This idl.a is attractive. for a change of trimming means a u change of hat. Cretonne Lampshades. The ve-ry newest and prettiest thing In homne decoration is the lalnpshade of shirred cretonne or flowered silk. For the:se, heavy wire'frames are pur ch:ased,l the round shape being the hbest. The cretonne or silk is then shirred tightly under this frame, and clamped or glued to it. A narrow bor der of furniture gimp conceals the joining place. r In tapestry, this variety of lamp shade becomes deally gorgeous. The idea. of course, can be applied in any of these materials to candleshades as well. Divided Skirt Practical. Frocks of velvet have been so much , worn that little costumes of tweed, ,rg'e or other woolens are a trifle e more novel. The divided skirt worn t in Paris is certainly practical and t·i.gt;t well be adopted for hard wear. To Freshen a Lace Waist. n A tight-cut lhr,.erie waist of white r lace and embroidery gains wonder SfBtlly in elaborateness by the addition r- of the latest French fancy. This is a broad band of net in a pastel shade, a I embroidered in soutache braid of the - ame color and applied just over the bust. With this is worn one of the t new nec-k scarfs of chiffon, in a color o that exactly matches and with the ends embroidered In the soutache. It lIoth of these are t asily mnade up at t home by any clever needjewoman, e ;and will go a long way toward hiding y the deflciencies of a pretty but aging : lingerie waist. The chiffon scarf is especially charming when embroid ered its entire length with large coin dlots in satin stitch. ts Sea and Shore. tellyker--What did the bghwayman n. say when he covered you with his re Svolver? a Pyker--le said "Throw up your m hands!"

Add to Cost of Living. The American Magazine reprints a I letter which was sent to the Massa chusetts cost of living commission. It goes as follows: "It seems to me that the elimination of waste is nearly impossible in house holds where there are numerous serv- I ants; at least, I have found it so, with only one, and the waste rises in geometrical progression with the nurm r her employed. I have now been doing my own cooking for nearly a year and I feed my family twice as well on 3 about two-thirds the cost. A large t part of the saving comes in the eco nomical use of meat. I make a de t licious dinner with a few scraps of meat that a cook would give to the dog. "Then I depend a good deal on soups, which I invent to suit my larder. A few cold baked beans, with a little tomato and a bit of meat on a bone, or a little left over gravy, make a soup that all eat with much pleasure E and it is so nourishing that it goes far to make the dinner. Most people do t not understand how different a soup is when it has simmered a good many hours. The soup that has been boiled fast a couple of hours will taste fiat s and uninteresting, whereas the same a soup five hours later will have such d a delicious blend of flavors that all t you know is that it is nice without being able to distinguish the Ingre dients. Again It is time that counts. Cooks waste the coffee and tea hor ribly. Mix the coffee with cold water the night before with an eggshell and bring it to a boil in the morning and you do not need a great deal for a good cup of coffee. The tea in the kitchen is piled into the teapot and thrown out w ith but little of the good ness extracted, Another frightful waste Is the coal. I use less than half as much as any girl I ever had and my stove bakes better. I never complain of the draught, as she does or did after kurning all the goodness out of her coal in the first hour after lighting." What About Brain Food?

First thing I knew, a vase off the mantel caught me on the ear; then a chair whirled in my direction, and when I jumped to the middle of the room four or five books and a framed picture struck me all at once."

In that month the Koran-,according to Mos- 8 lem tradition-was brought down by I' Gabriel from heaven and delivered to men in small sections. In that month, Mohammed was accustomed to retire 1 from Mecca to the cave of Hira, for 8 prayer and meditation. In that month d Abraham, Mosss and other prophets received their divine revelations. In that month the "doors of heaven are always open, the passages to hell are shut, and the devils are chained." So t run the traditions.-The Christian Herald. The League of Politeness.

But I am a great-grandmother," she continued, thoughtfully, "so how can these many I compliments be true? I am afraid my friends are exaggerating." Mme.
