Naturally these bows are full, but simply made, in keeping with the quality and elabora- tion of the fabrics used. An ordinary bow requires from two to three yards. In very heavy ribbons, rosette bows are made by a group of ends instead & | of loops, as shown in the picture given <'! here. These ribbons are not inexpen- G| sive, ranging in price from about fifty cents to three or four dollars a yard | But they furnish a charming and | ample trimming so that one may dis- pense with feathers and ornaments, meetings, church gatherings and The Housekeeping Business. W @ woman enters into the housekeeping business she takes up-| o herselr grave responsibilities, and it becomes her duty to inform hers self oy all subjects that pertain to her chesen work, We must unders tand sanitary conditions both inf and outside of the house. We must know how to keep everything, trom family to premises, in the best con- dition, with the st work and worry possible. We must Kkeep pace | | | | | | sign and weave and colorings there ll| with houschold improvements and inventions, and be able to select the best for our own special use. It is our business to see that all leaks which lead to extr; gance and loss| of health are closed permanently, for “sanitation and economy are twin sisters.” Our protection from dirt, diseasa and insects is a hygieniv matter that science demands today, and this is afforded more through a study of little than large things, ¢ 8 s Some Things to Consider. Let the housekeeper, when I)lfln-‘ ning the running of her establish- ment, consider, first, the house pe ‘ healthful; second, the house com- fortable; third, the house conveni- - ent; the rest will take care of itself. .

The pretty fashion of wearing a bag made to match the hat, makes another fleld of usefulness for the wide fancy | ribbon. These bags are made over a rice net or buckram foundation shaped like a square envelope or rounded. They are bound with gold or silver braid and suspended over the shoul- der or carried with a gold or silver cord. Dull gold or oxydized silver are more favored thon brighter metallic effects. The flap is supplied with a foop which goes over a button, made by covering a button mold with the tinsel braid. These bags are not dif- ficult to make. Some of the hand- somest ones are of plain satin with rich Chinese or other oriental em- broideries used in combination. We miuy ook for numerous fancy bags made to mateh the hat before the sea- son is much older. These bags will prove a feature of heliday business and look as if they migl 1ve a long run of favor, A street hat with machine stitched and wired bow is shown in the second picture. The bow is of plain taffeta silk with fine wire run in between double rows of stitching on the hem. The upstanding bows used as a trim- ming at the back require a wire sup- port of some sort and there are rib- bons now manufactured with wires woven in, ready for use, JULIA BOTTOMLEY. A Test for Wool. There are some materials that are marked all wool and others are frank- 1y murked cotton and wool mixture. There is a certain feel to cotton and wool cloth that mukes one look for the cotton even when it is well hidden. The test for this is to unravel two threads, one in the cross width and | one on the length. A woolen thread breaks with an irregular fringy cdging, while cotton makes a clean, crisp break. In the mannish mixtures be sure that the light and not the dark threads are cotton, or in a short time you will have rusty black or dingy lm"wn material will spend the holidays with the former's mother, Mrs. N, 1.
