USEFUL, ATTRACTIVE SLIPS
B> MRS JANE FORD
It is comfortable to pat on one-piece garments that serve as corset
cover and long petticoat, thus avoi ding the work of adjusting separate
garments at the waist line, and incidentally the possibility of the two i
places falling- to meet. Also for wear beneath the gowns now in vogue
a slip of this type is almost a necessity, hence the design shown here
is bound to become
popular
The pattern for this
mode! is in seven sizes,,
which run from thirty
two to forty-two inches
bust measure To make
the silp in the medium
sixes about nine yards
of' goods thirty-six
inches wide w ill be I
needed; if the flounce
is omitted six. and one
half yards will V>e suffi
cient.
Sui h slips made from
silk or tub material in
colors may harmonixe
with the different
(towns with which they
are worn.
To comply with the
demands of fashion the
goods selected must be
of a soft, pliable weave
that will cling to the
figure. Silks such as
chiffon, taffeta and In
dia make charming'
slips.
In tub goods there
are a number of Inex
pensive weaves that
answer the purpose ad
mirably.
Among these are the
lovely new cotton fou
lards in plain colors.
They are thirty-six
inches wide and may
be purchased for thirty
five cents a yard. These
are silky in appear- i
anco and can be used
as a foundation for al
most any drapery.
For wear under lin
gerie frocks nothing
could be prettier than
batiste or fine lawn.
Both of these materials
can l>e secured In alt
the fashionable colors
and should he made
perfectly plain, with
the exception of Inser
tion on the flounce, and
this trimming should he
the name as that used
on the frock.
It la shown in this il
lustration that the aiip
may be finished with
high, round or square
neck, and with long or
short sleevea.

EXTREME FASHIONS MUST NOT
BE WORN BY WORKING WOMEN
; It In to bp hoped girls who belong ,
to the business world will not adopt
extreme styles of clothes for wear dur- ;
, lug office hours. For example, how- {
j ever pretty the square or round
| "Dutch" necks may be, they are en- i
tlrely Inappropriate for wear In an 1
; office. And if Dame Grundy doea not >
; approve of these for working hours, ]
how much more sternlv must she
frown upon the exaggerations of the j
style that are sometimes seen, when :
i the Dutch becomes almost decollete,*
so much below the throat line is it
(cut. To tell Ihe truth, no girl of re- !
fmoment would wear one of these ex- j
trcme models In the street. She knows
that such an exposure of neck Is suit
able only for the house, and her sense
of the fitness of things would be sad
i !>' Jarred at appearing so gowned else
where.
The girl who goes downtown to bus
iness must dress conservatively, un
less she wishes to be seriously mis- I
Judged. For. though she may only j
. be called silly because of the fash
ions that she adopts. It Is far nicer
! to be treated with dignified consldera- ;
i lion than to be the butt for office ‘
i Jests. 1 have In mind a stenographer!
whose head now Is surrounded by a.
; halo of puffs. Her employer, noticing !
her the other day, remarked to his i
: partner that "the sausage business
! must be good," a comment on her
style of hairdressing that, however
: vulgar, was more or lass deserved, be
cause she had made herself so con
{splcuous and grotesque that It was
Impossible to pass her by unnoticed.
Incidentally, that girl receives one of:
the smallest salaries paid In a large 1
office, and la commonly spoken of by .
the others as a "ninny" and a "fooL" !
The way she arranges her hair Is suf- ,
flclent endorsement of the truth of
both appellations.
Exaggerated styles are not confined
to the hair alone, for there are some
unusual models In footgear that
though attractive, a well-bred girl will
not wear In an office.
No possible objection could be rals
against brown pumps with g&iter*
Such shoes are a durable color and
being of heavy leather are stout,
though soft In effect. But when it
comes to champagnes and delicate
shade* of grays In shoes, the prob
lem Is different. Both must neces
sarily come under the head of dressy
footwear, and for that reason they
have no place In the selection of a
business wardrobe.
H must not be thought that because
girls work In offices they are not to
have the pleasure of wearing soft and
dainty articles. The fact that they
do work should make It possible for
them to buy pretty dress accessories,
but the time to wear them is not In
office hours. They have evenings and
Sundays to wear fripperies and to
*'d res*.”
Conservatism in dreia for business
hours does not mean unattractlvenexs
or dowdlnesa On the contrary, noth
ing Is more becoming and smarter
than a plain frock Immaculately clean
well put together, and worn with dis
tinction. A girl so attired attracts
desirable attention by her air of good
breeding and style.

PRACTICAL KITCHEN UTENSILS i
WITH NEW IMPROVEMENTS j
At this season of the year women—
ihat Is, those who are housekeepers—
; are Interested In the new or Improved
! kitchen utensils. One of these is an
: icing syringe, which is so easy to op
i erate that a small girl will be able to
i decorate all the cakes and take pleas
’ ure in doing so..
■ Complete, the syringe costs $t, which
: Includes ten attachments In different
i sties and designs. With these letter
Ing, leaves, flowers and ribbon can be
■ made.
The double frying pan Is one of the
most convenient cooking utensils I
i have seen in years, it is economical.
i too, when gas is burned, because two
different dishes may be cooked In It
( over one burner. Tt ts large, made of
Iron, and when both pieces are attach
ed Is round in form, with apparently
one handle. The pan is divided down
i the middle, the edges meeting, and
are hooked one over the other. When
vtaken apart there arc two distinct
i pans, each with a handle. They are In
& shape- that would cook a fish or an
omelet without breaking, because
either would tit the pan. When at
tached meat can be cooked In one
part and vegetables or any other food
in the other. The price Is 15 cents.
There Is a new utensil for cooking
pot roasT. It iK TOilTrtd ahd of heavy
Iron. Inside the Vessel does not dif
fer from the ordinary pan. as It pos
sesses a round bottom; but outside It
looks like a pot and appears to be
raised, thus doing away with any
change of burning. Price, $1.50.
In roasting pans for the oven I am
told there ts nothing better than the
covered models, and of these (Here are
mapy varieties. ... „ . .
I noticed art improvement in garb
age palls. They were shaped exactly
like the old ones, with the exception
of the cover. It Is nonremovable, ana
only one-half lift* up. As this closes
with a spring each time It Is us«4,
closed. The price Is fl.so for » else
convenient for private family use
Poultry shears are an aid to the
cook, as joints of birds may be easily
severed by the use of them, and the
cut. too. Is much cleaner and more
accurate than when a knife Is used
The shears are shaped like scissors
manipulated. The price
An egg opener on the same princi
ple as the shears, with the exception
of curved blades Instead of straight
costs *6 cents. The inner edge of the
curved portions is furnished with
sharp teeth, which cut or saw the
New methods In the construction of
coffee pots are by no means unusuaL
but a new Kind of teapot Is a rarity
The latest Is a samovar! the tea to
be made at the table.
Contrary to aU precedents In tea
making, cold water Is placed in the
--- --—— — in ms
samovar and the tea In a small re
ceptacle in the lid.
Then a small lamp must be lighted
■ "mfarneilli anA ao the _T .
: underneath, and as the water heats
; the steam ascends and draws the
aroma from the tea. As soon as the
water bolls the box containing the
tea Is dropped Into the boiling water
by an outside chain attachment. In
the water it remains until .the desired
Strength Is obtained, when It !a
drawn up again by the chain and so
cured.
Thus the second cup Is of the same
strength as the first, while the tiny
lamp keeps the tea hot.
The samovars come In aluminum,
nickel and copper, costing from ft
to f5. Either metal Is pretty, and as
a wedding gift Is desirable.
A .hap/y kitchen *ntf*. i., called a
French knife, It is a convenient size
and shape for kitchen use and Is of
the best steel. The price Is 4f cents.
Waffle Irons for gas stoves are not
particularly new, but I saw recently
an Improved iron that might Interest
prospective buyers. It was ueeh
easier to tur* than some of the Who#

FADS FOR WOMEN
The fad of wearing artificial flow
rs as a corsage bouquet is Liegin
ilng to find favor on this side of
ho water. Those flowers are most !
atural looking and perfumed, so it ,
eally Is a difficult matter to tell the j
intural from the artificial. Espe- J
lally is this true of the violet bou- j
nets. which come in generous j
'unches with stems wrapped in tin
oil.
Then there are orchids, lilies of the j
alley, gardenias and sweet pons. The 1
sirger flowers can tie bought in a sin- j
fie blossom and the smaller ones In
iny bunches, If desired, or large bou- i
uets of one kind of flower.
Those who closely observe the new
inbroiderles cannot fall to have no
iced a revival of the combination of
ace and embroidery so popular two j
>r three seasons ago. The designs,
oo, are similar, for_one sees the ores- |
ent shape applique, the uvul medhl
lons and the long tab-like motifs. !
Tierefore women possessing trim-.
nlngs of this kind should bring them
o light and make use of them aa a
lecoration on the new wash dresses.
The blind or satin stitch embroid- |
Ties combined with imitation baby
rtsh are the most approved trim
nlngs.

ises to which they can be put:
Cut the armlet* of your black sued* |

Again, cut them to form little bags.
Ill round the opening a little wav
