wearing are no longer thought good
enough for the infant wonder of 1913.

wear. One, a long affair with hood at

finished with pretty hand worked scal

kimono cut in one piece, the sleeves
being tied together with ribbons.
While there la nothing distinctively
new about these coats, no layette is
complete without them. The hooded
cape is used when baby is taken from

was designed to be carried with an

To stop digressing and to come back

of feminine apparel has two compart

outfit and a change purse. It is an
altogether delectable possession for
appearance. - Of course such blouses
are made of extremely soft materials,
and they are almost invariably out low

an Inexpensive remembrance, ' but

attractive. ' A stunning bag of black

Unusual attention has been centered

Right Way to Clean Windows
TS? .windows era easily reached the
, glass in them keeps . clean a great"
deal longer if it IS dusted regularly In
side and out. A folded pad of news-
paper! is - the' best thing to Use, and if
ths is. .sprinkled with a few drops of
ammonia or paraffin it 'will serve for
window cleaning also.
l When : windows are to be - washed
they should be dusted first with the
newspaper pad If -very dusty. In this
way the cleaning and polishing will be
nTOre-ealydpne.::"' A teaspoonful of
ammonia W?parafiin to each half gal
lon of warm water makes a good solu
tion, or cold water and washing blue
may be tried. Chamois leather is ex
cellent for the final polishing.
In frosty weather methylated spirit
Is useful, or the newspaper pad may , be
sprinkled with paraffin and no water
at all used. . .
Windows must never be cleaned
when the sun is shining on them, and
all cloths used must be free from lint.
Experience seems to prove that differ
ent kinds of glass respond to different
methods of cleaning,, but in every case
news.papr -or, tissue apejr' pads are
recommended, Xoc. the: final polish and
a sprinkle of paraffin will make the ef
fect more satisfactory, v
A window brush is useful for clean
ing the outside of downstairs windows.
Its long broom handle should have a
metal socket at the end, into which an
other similar handle fits, for cleaning
the upper panels. With this and a
pail of blued water! the lower windows
are readily cleaned, but they must be
well rinsed. Splashes of paint which
have hardened on the windows may be
removed by means Of hot "vinegar or a
strong solution of washing soda. A
paste made with whiting and powdered
ammonia mixed with a little water is
effective. It must be put on thickly
and left on the paint spots until quite
dry, then washed oft with soap and
water.
As a last bint it may be well to Say
that lacquered curtain rods used for
windows which are kept open are soon
corroded if there is much dampness,
but. this can be prevented for a long,
time by rubbing the rods frequently
with a soft, dry cloth and with furni
ture cream each time the curtains are
changed.
Sash cords also need attention. Their
durability may be increased and the
vexation of a broken cord postponed
for a long time by rubbing them every
now and then with a tallow (not wax)
candle warmed slightly to soften it. If
the old fashioned tallow . "dip" is not
within reach a very little lard or fat
may be used, provided it is absolutely
free from salt, which would rot the
cord.

The envelope shaped hand bag Is still
In strong demand, and the very long
and slim model Is considered the
height of smartness this fall. It Is
beautifully lined with moire silk, but,
of course, 1 the space is too limited for
anything save utility . compartments
such as change and bill partitions. In
dressy bags the balloon type Is the beat
liked. Indeed, the trade has dubbed
this model the bag of extreme impor
tance. A delightful example of this
bag Is seen in the hands of one of the
figures pictured. It is a black velvet
affair and when open looks very much
like a workbag, haying a round frame,
but closed it is not unlike the pompa
dour bags. r

THE NEW TAILORED SKIRT

UP TO DATE
rpHMRE has been a tendency for some
months on the part of the tailoring
craft to get away from the meaning
less draperies, slashes and sashes, and
to establish feminine tailored wear
on a safe and sane basis of effects
nearer those of masculine tailored gar
ments. The new suits sent out by the best
tailors are not mannish. They are far
from it,' being both dainty and grace
ful, but they keep to mannish forms.
Skirts are straight and narrow, and
though drapery appears reasonably it
is beginning now to take its proper
place in gowns of silken stuff, while
the tailored walking skirt is treated
with' stitched bands of braid, buttons
and cleverly inserted tucks or skillfully
applied plaits, suggesting more width
without actually givine it.
Quite" different, but even newer thMl
some of the bags that are to be seen Sa
the shops, is the bedside bag. It
measures half a yard from the spread,
lng fan shaped ase to the mouth ri
the metal frame into which the fin!
grained leather is shirred. Into its
capacious depth may be concealed aa
almost incredible number of small ar
ticles, that otherwise would take
room on. the night table. The bag has
a long leather strap attached below
the clasp that is stitched together six
Inches above it. This strap is used for
hanging It to the bedside.
A bag of this description made of mi'.'x
or any substantial material is a boon
to ' the tired housekeeper when sh
gives up to her "nerves" and betaJt
herself to bed for a day rest. It's a
convenient place to which to drx!t
her purse, her memorandum tablet, her
handkerchief, the small piece of fancy
work to quiet her fraizled nerves cr.-l
whatever cards and letters are brought
to the bedside of the Invalid. If on
wants to be very dainty the bedside
bag may be of lingerie material match
ing one's negligeeand cap.
A bag story would be incomplete
without a description the ftew
stocking purse. This very intimate
trifle is an inch wide band of suede k 1
lined with -the same shade of
finished at the edges with rows of ma
chine stltchlng Upon this strap a-
arranged three shallow pursts ct
suede, furnished with metal clasp in
envelope flaps. The center purse I
sufficiently large to hold doubled over
banknotes, and at either, end are tw
square purses for holding small Jawc:;-?
and coins. There is a garter portion
extending several inches beyond the
purses that fastens securely to tr.e
garter In buckle prong and eye'set
style. There Is no possibility of tfte
stocking purse revealing Its identity to
the unsympathetic public gaze, and im
every way the old "lisle bank" Is
"beaten a mile," as the boys say.
