' Clothes and the Woman
Useful Hints
"Pew women realize that gloves .are
made for protection as well as for adorn
ment of tho hands," says Lillian Itus
aell. "There are dress gloves and com
mon sense gloves; there are proper and
improper gloves. When I say improper
I mean badly fitting and badly put on
Xkvi'es. A clever man onco said that A
woman showed as much character in the
.way she put on her gloves as In the man
ner of her sDeech.
"If .pu will observe the gloved hands
of women you will deduce to some extent
' their characters. Tho woman who puts on
her' gloves and leaves little pointed tips
' to turn over and get in the way of every
thing she touches is careless, negligent
and untidy,
"5Chen there Is tho woman who pulls
'on her gloves so tightly that her fingers
come through the ends. She Is of the
penetrating kind. She will ferret out
everything and go to any extreme to
gain her point. She is Inclined to rush,
and in her rushing she does not stop to
correct her mistakes.
"Thero is the woman who always has
tho fingers of her gloves twisted and
crooked. She never will do anything
straight, she would go two blocks out
of her way to get somewhere when go
ing straight ahead would get Jier there
sooner,
"The woman who wears her gloves a
cOupIo of ulzeo too small, because she
thinks it makes her hands look daintier,
is mistaken, A. glove too small pinches
the hands so that they appear like
dummy hands, and an attempt to touch
anything ia ridiculous. Such a woman
la weak-minded.
"There is the strong-minded woman
who wears gloves soveral sizes too large
for her. She Is masculine.
"There is another class of woman who
.wears no gloves at' all. Not because aha
'can't afford gloves, but because she
wishes to harden her hands to tho ele
ments. Buch a woman would risk1 pneu
monia by exposing her throat In a snow
storm, "Gloves aro a sort of blessing for the
comfort they giro, and a decoration to
8, Woman's toilet when worn correctly.
II lakes no more time to put a glove on
right than to put it on wrong, and there
ia llttlo excuse for a badly fitting glove.
"There is positively no excuse for col
ored gloves, other than gray or tan. The
woman who would wear blue or JInk
gloves would paint her checks green and
her nose Mpo If she, waa told it was
fashionable so Jo do. The "well -groomed
.woman wears rhlte gloves for evening-,
oale tan, gray or white ror afternoon, tan
or morning or for motoring and black
nly for deAp rncurntns. Nothlnr would
duca her to wear colored gloves. Were
du to ask in a Paris shop for pink, red,
ream or blue gloves, you would b
Mbi& at. They never make them,"

a moment that l-ou nnd your men ac
quaintances are In the samo class at alt.
Quite the opposite, In fact, nnd therein
lies the trouble. You mix with a class
of men of whom, In your hotter Judg

the other class, the 'worth-while' men.
enn only Judge you by ydur frlonds. They
do not know that the vapid talk and
empty gossip of these outwardly dear

How can they know that? Tho very fact
that you are seon everywhero In tho com
pany of these foolish men hall-marks you
as being like themselves.
"One Is Inevitably Judged by one's as
sociates. The girl who Is seen In public
places, such ns theatres nod dansants,
with mon who are known to be brain
less or Worso Is damning horself so
cially. And small wonder, too. Tho pub
lic only shrug their shoulders and re
mark, 'Birds of a feather.' And one can
not blame the public for Judging from
outward nppcarnnces. If I were a man I
should certainly not wish to bother with
the girl who was content to run about
with any Tom, Dick or Harry. I should
consider It' a little beneath my dignity to
place myself In tho same Category as
these men.
"Tho girl who wishes to have really
nice, Interesting friends must entirely
forego tho companionship of tho brain
less fool, the' notorious man and tho man
whom all other men dislike. When men
dislike a man, by tho way, there is nearly
always an excellent reason. Tour friend
of the matlneo, George Brown, Is disliked
by all sensible men, and you know It. Tot
you run the risk of appearing everywhere
with him in public! It Is small wonder
that the sensible mon hold oft. They fig
ure out that If you like tho kind of per
son that poor George Brown represents,
then you won't like them and deduce
from your choice In friends that they
certainly won't like you."
"But I don't care two pins about
George Brown," walled the pretty girl In
a despairing tone; "I'd glvo him up to
morrow If a nicer man turned up."
"Ho won't turn up until you cut out all
theso $llly frlonds, then," I answered
frankly. "At present tho sensible man
will only look at you and, summing you
up Inwardly, repeat tho old adage, 'Birds
of n feather flock together.' Drop the
empty, foolish crowd and the nice men
will soon become Interested In you. That
Is the best advice I can give you."

The boy plodded along steadily in the

The Modern Child
Some Hints on Her Upbringing.
Til American child has been accused
of many things, but the most sertoui) oty
these is on entire lack of respect for au
thority. This Is not an exaggeration by
any means. The, ordinary American child
Is Iier own mistress; dhe neither obeys
nor takes a correction. She manages all
who come her way, and tho household is
run to suit her convenience. She hns no
hesitation about speaking her mlndln
fact, the modern American enna consid
ers It her duty to put poor mother' or fa
ther right at certain times.
The mistaken notion of Individuality In
child-roaring Is primarily responsible for
this. Mothers are told to lot their chil
dren shape their own characters, that
tho good old-fashioned corporal punish
ment Is R'riilstake. Perhaps this Is true,
but there are certain things every well
bred child should not bo nllowed to neg-
tent.
In tho first place, teach tho little folks
no "company manner." This Is abso
lutely ruinous to their character. It
leaches them Insincerity, nnd makes them
nn objcot for dislike. Children soon lenrn
thlnm anvwav. but If vou lot them think
that they should bo any moro pollto or
any moro obliging wlien a stranger is
present, they will use tho knowledges to
your disadvantage. You win soon lino
that they becomo rudo and discourteous
In tho home circle.
Teach children to bo orderly when they
nro young, If you don't do It then, there
Is very little hope of their becoming so
later. Moke thorn stnnd up when they
nro addressed by on oldor person. Never
let thorn sit In tho easiest chairs while
tho older folks have to use straight ones.
Thoy must bo tralnod to be thoughtful
nnd considerate of others.
The Sewing Table
Have you seen tho now Martha Wash
ington sewing tables? They are the
handiest things you can Imagine for tho
"stitch In tlmo." The most attractive
thing about them Is that they como In
almost any finish walnut, mahogany, oak
and the dearest little ones In wicker
work. Milady has only to drop her col
lars, cuffs, ruffles and furbelows In tho
largo openings on the sides and there
they will stay until she has time to sew
them on horself.
Tho tables aro oval shaped and the two
sides aro Just a sort of cupboard for odd
pieces of material and such things. The
centre of the table Is a Berlcs of drawers,
each ono for a different purpose. Tho top
drawer is very shallow ana inside is a
ruck for spools In fact, for several of
them. The Idea Is very useful, as there
Is nothing moro annoying than to have
to look all ovor for your materials when
you are ready to work. The other draw
ers aro for tho Innumerable things which
seem to accumulate In some mysterious
way around the sowing room.
If Mrs. Washington really used one of
these delightful affairs, tho modern
woman does well to Imitate her, as they
arc so attractive and useful.
To Use Up White Shoes.
When, after many cleanings, white
shoos look grey and shabby, they can
bo made a pretty brown by applying
saffron. Mix six drops of saffron with
three tablespoonfuls" of olive oil. Clean
shoes well: reinovo dark spots when pos
slblo, and then apply two coats of the
mixture with a piece of clean flannel.
on his way more determined than ever to
accomplish tho Journey. Thoro was
something about It that appealed to his
love of adventure. He liked to think that
there were dangers lurking In the dark
ness. For all he knew to the contrary,
that black-bearded doctor might have
chosen this particular night to make an
other attempt to carry him off. He
chuckled with Joy at the very thought of
it. He'd astonish tho fellow when ho
whipped out that Jolly llttlo pistol. He
pictured himself In a scene of remark
able heroism. Thero would be bloodshed,
of course. It would be splendid some
thing to talk about for the rest of one's
life, He shifted the weapon into the
right-hand pocket of his overcoat, and
kept his fingers on the butt of It
"They won't find mo asleep " ho
said to himself. Then, suddenly, he
tripped over something and fell headlong
to tho ground, and before he could rise
there was a blanket over his head, and a
most horrible smell that took away his
breath. Ho screamed and struggled, antt
tried to tear away the blanket with his
hands. All thought of the weipon had
vanished from his mind, kills only desire
was to free himself from the horrible
thing that seemed to be strangling him
to draw a breath of fresh air Into his
bursting lungs. Then strange scenes be
gan to flit quickly through his brain
visions of flowers and colored lights, and
sunshine on blue water,- 'Then he slipped
down into a great darkness.
When Wimberley1' came to his senses
his head was free, and he was lying on
his back on a soft bed ot hay. The light
of a small bull's-eye lantern showed him
the rafters of a low, narrow shed and
tho dim figure of a man.
"Feeling better, sonny?" said a clear,
quiet voice. The boy moaned and closed
nls yes. He was still daxed by the
fumes of the chloroform and hla head
ached Violently, He was also conscious
ot, failure. Ho had certainly not emerged
from the contest with flying colors. Of
course, they had his pistol. And now
he was quite helpless.
"Had to do 1U sonny," the man con
tinued. "But we're not going to harm
you If you behave yourself and your folk
come up to the scratch with the brass."
"Where am It" queried Wimberley; in
p. faint voice. The man laughed and
came a little closer so that the light
streamed up on to hla face. .
"I think we've met before, sonny." ' '
"Yea Dootor Anderson." whispered the
boy. "I thought so."

the Jolly little thing was there chock

some fun now. The excruciating pain of

SLEEPING
Their Use
Have you a sleeping porch? Sounds
sort of chilly when tho snow is, flying
down outsldo, but If you knew Just how
comfy and warm It can be mado you'd
never sleep lnsldo tho houso ngaln. The

when the cold winds whistle around the
house you crawl Into your stoam-heated
bedroom and curl up tlghtl
Bulldors, designers and interior dec-,
orators have all combined their efforts
to make the sleeping porch extremely
comfortabto nowadays.
Your Doroh can bo arranged so that
you have the Steam heat at the based
of tho wall nnd open windows at tho
top. These windows are on rollers, and
can be pushed open, one or moro at a
time, as you choos'o. This Is a very
good arrangement,, because tho timorous
beginner will only try ono or two win

she will want moro air. Tho seasoned

Wimberley laughed. "I'll comotrmletly,"

Doctor Anderson gripped him by the
arm and helped him to his feet. Tho
other man picked up the lantern and
opened the door. Thoy made their way

holding the boy, by his arm.
Wlmberley's heart beat quickly oa they
tramped over the rought ground toward
the river. His teeth chattered and he
was thoroughly frightened, not at the
thought of what might happen to him,
but at the Idea of taking that ugly little
pistol out of his pocket and shooting
one, perhaps both, of tH'o men. All the
glamour of the situation hod faded away.
He saw nothing but the beastly side of
it. It was easy enough to fire at a target,
but to flro at a human being, with the
knowledge that the man might crumpie
up and fall down and bleed to death

"Now then, sonny," said Anderson.
"You're going a voyage-quite like a Btory

"Not much," said Wimberley, and he
turned and ran as fast as his legs could

THE ATTRACTIVE SPORTS SUIT
When Amy's Invitation came yesterday
I woe wildly exdtod, for oyer sinco mj
cold weather net, In I havo bcon longing
to get nway to the country. And Amy,
Just In the nick of tlmo, has asked mo
to come and visit her at her lovely home
Up in the Adlrondaoks, '
Now, the problem of' clothes has started
to wdrry me, for I feel sure that all tho
other guests will be as amort as possible.
I havo only a week to proparo in, and
not a superfluity of cash, either. So I
must Just set my wlta to work.
"Don't worry, Dorothy," said mother.
in hor bright, cheerful Way. "We'll man
ago somehow, Ono thing) you have to
be thankful for, nnd that is your new
Bporto suit that father gave you for
Christmas. It wll bo tho very thing
now."
I breathed a sigh of relief. "Yos, In
deed," I cried, "on Christmas morning
when I got that suit I didn't think that
it would be reaulred so soon. Why, it
will be tho very thing!" nnd I hurried
upstairs to try it on onco more, this time
with a keenly critical eye, for the friends
whom I was about to visit moved in a
wealthier set than myself.
Yes, the new sports suit is exceedingly
smart It is a Scotch tweod of a deop
brown shod that exactly matches the
color of my eyes. Luckily, although my
eyes and hair aro dark brown, I havo a
fair completion, so that I can wear a
great variety of colors with safety.
The skirt, which is set on a. two-inch
band, thus having a Bllghtly hlgh-walstod
effect, Is cut rather wider than usual at
the bottom and very short Tho hem is
qutto Ave Inches from tho ground and tho
Bklrt buttons all tho way up tho front
with very elite brown loather buttons.
The latter method of fastening Is Ideal
for climbing and for nil sports, for, If
suitable breeches are worn below, the
skirt may be removed and used as a
cape I
I am particularly fond of the coat. It
comes well below tho hips, and has a se
vere, mannish cut. fastening with the
same brown leather buttons as used
on the skirt Tho Bet-lrr sleeve Is pop
ular on sports suits Just now, so, of
course, this coat has sot-In sleeves, too.
What especially delights me Is tho fact
that the coat, boasts of four large patch
pockpts. "Whatever do you wnnfr with
those enormous pockets, Dorothy?" asked
mother.
"Why, to carry cartridges, of course,"
I said Instantly. "Amy tells me. there
.is some' good shooting Just -now." '
With this suit I wear a very smart
'tailored shirtwaist of pussy-willow taf-
ioino, wjiii a. niKn, son collar ana a
brown knitted stilt tie. My booto aro of
russet leather, waterproofed' to withstand
the muddiest roads, and I havo a pair of
heavy brown leather gauntlets that rnatbh'
the color scheme beautifully.
"You do look cute, Dorothy!" said my
friend Elinor when she caught sight of
me thua, arrayed.. This) Js a oplendld
lookirig Ayroshlro tweed you havo on!
Going off to the country, ore you?
You lucky girl! What do you think
of my suit? It's' a Galashiels tweed
Scotch, you know the very -Oateat
thing, made of silk and wool, there
fore very light Oh, yes; it's very"
warm, and rainproof, too. Don't you
think my Norfolk coat, with Its smart
belt, Is attractive? Do look at tho skirt.
It buttons all the wny up the front, and
almost all tho way up tho back, too.
WJien I'm right out in tho country or
mountaineering I Just take tho skirt right

cUIrt deftly to tho floor and stopped ouf1
looking llko a chnrmlng little Jockey W

"However," she continued, "I am fairj?
content to wear tno sairt, tor it is yen
short seven inches from the ground, s4
dear! Then it is sufficiently wide to allovl
freo movement, "and I can always ua

Dorothy, your brown Velours hat is jnsA

I value Elinor's opinion, and when Dili
soft velours hat was trimmed with thil
pheasant's wing I did rather fancy my?J
self as a real nports-clnd girl.

Three "Economy" Hints.
First If a flro has to be let unwatched
for several hours, put a handful of salt
on the top oi; the coal. This will prevent
tho fuel burning awny quickly, and a stir'
with tho poker will result in a nlc1
glowing" Are. ' v
Second. When making toa. Instead Of
the usual spoonful for tho pot, add a lump
df sugar. When drawn the tea will ti
Just as strong.
Third. Savo coffee grounds, dry thera.1
add a pinch ot carbonato of soda, and!
use on tho knife-board Instead of knlfi
powder. The mixture answers admirably.
