When they are soiled try to clean them yourself, for y can do it withs out rubbing and rufing up the kid, which seems to be more than profes- do. If they are very dirty, 1 shame to let them get too ¥ black, put them on and wash hands in a basin of gasoline, tak- to see that the very finger tips are quite clean and white in the s After this rinse them quickly some clean gasoline and rub them with a soft, clean white cloth, for e very apt to dry in streaks if g up on a line, and even at best sometimes stiffen more than is you take them from you, t them in a clean towel in th n and alr, for there isn’t thing more disagreeable and than the ordor of gasoline ating one'’s clothing. If there isn’t any sun and you want to wear the gloves in the evening, I'll tell you a trick that will rid them of their odor, but remember and be care- ful. In fact, you must always remem- ber to be exceedingly careful of gaso- line or naphtha, for both love to get into mischief and never miss an oppor- tunity if they can help it. After the gloves have been in the open air an hour or so and retain a very faint smell, put them in the oven and let them stay there for a time h CARIE ¢ L2 (I.’ R aad "'/, THE OPERA_GLOVE ((35 HAKES PRETTY 2! PEN WIPERS WAS A LAST REIORT g — g <> A r— s, R that sometimes comes from too much cleaning will take itself to regions un- known. ’ Unless you are going a great deal don’t make the error of getting and putting away too many gloves. Rather buy them fresh and new when you require them, for gloves that have been cleaned and laid away always e it upon themselves to stiffen and make themselves generally uncom- fortable and disagreeable. Instead get two pairs and try to make them answer your purposes. By doing a little think- ing and scheming you can manage to keep one pair clean and ready for use, even if the other is considerably the worse for wear and tear. A curious rubber has been invented for cleaning gloves and it erases the s0il from the kid in exactly the same fashion a pencll rubber erases a mark. To be sure, it is decidedly cdnvenient and a great deal of comfort at times, but if very much rubbing is necessary it soon leaves its trac for it ruffs the kid up and occasionally even peels tiny bits off. Silk gloves are by far the easiest ores to handle, for they rub well, if white, with ordinary soap and water. If they do not respond quickly a small soft brush will{soon discover the cause of the trouble and they will soon be reduced to a state of spotless white. In using a brush for any cleaning pur- poses let me tell you to be sure and rub with the grain or weave of the fabric. That once determined, rub ong way and vou can see the color line meving slowly down and down until it entirely disappears. > On account of the variety oI colors worn this year there are some brand new shades in gloves on the market, and as they are all light.in color the lasgiz of to-day will find her hands .nore iban full in her mad endeavor to be neat. Onion pink is a stunning tone and so is that beautiful new yei- low that comes nearer being a corn color than anything else. In fact, there are shades and shades, one newer and smarter than the other, but alas and alack, none darker and more serviceable than what we have been wont to call “evening shades.” Answers to Correspondents and vou will find that a most vigorous . scarch will be absolutely without re- ward. But be sure to hang them in the open before going near the fire with them and never under any con- ditions clean any articles, much less gloves on your hands, near a lamp or fire of any kind. It is far better to go without gloves one evening than it is to wear scars all the rest of your days and to suffer all sorts of tor- ments in the bargain. Every woman has a fad when it comes to perfumery and generally in- dulges her whim to the utmost in this line. So if you have a perfectly white sachet or even a scented face powder sprinkle a little in the palm of your hand and rub it gently over the gloves. Two things this will accomplish. The fragrance will permeate and the shine ' J. M. K.—Black etamine is a won- derfully serviceable material and ‘if you have enough to make both a waist and a jacket you will be well dressed all summer. First of all, make the skirt round length, as it must an- swer for both waists. The prettiest ones are pleated or gathered very full into a belt and shirred into a yoke effect. I am perfectly aware this does not sound overly new, but such skirts are shown in the newest models and I know of nothing prettier. There are two ways to make the jacket. One is what we used to call a “monkey” jacket, and the other is a full blouse belted in with a girdle. The first is pleated and falls loose from the shoulders and ends a few inches above the belt line. The front is loose also and may be either double or single breasted. A high pleated girdle is worn with ‘the shirt waist instead of a belt and makes a pretty finish. The sleeves are more like short kimona sleeves than anything else I can think of, and come but little below the el- bow. Their crowning glory is their wealth of fluff, which is really needed to complete them. It might net be a bad scheme to have both bladk and white ruffles, one for dress occasions and the other for ordinary wear. Such a suit would be very smart and very serviceable at the same time. Tha ‘waist would be pretty made with a deep collar effect. to get a black Try. insertion dotted with black silk and put first a piece of material and then the insertion. Make the collar deep enough to come off the shoulder and FRANCISCO SUNDAY CALL. AL T TEE SWEET POWVER. —— THE \WHOLE SHOULV BE GLOVE" RINSEP CAREFULLY ‘ ¥ - s -red pimples. LULSE A BRUSH AT FIRST IF. THRE GLOVES instead of making it absolutely round let a tab come from the collar to the belt line in front. This takes away the set look and makes the waist fluffy and soft at the same time. The sleeves must, of course, be elbow, as everything new is made that way. Take a piece of ribbon and have it pleated and put| it about the sleeves at the elbow. To make the dividing line, put a touch of blue around the elbow and see that the frills stand out well on both sides. Use this same bit of color at the throat, but nowhere else, as it would cheapen it decidedly. With this wear either a lace or a fluffy braid hat, black, of course, and trimmed with black ribbon ir some simple. yet chic way. Personally I think there is noth- ing as stunning as black, and especlally when it is worn by itself. 2—Never make a practice of pressing blackheads from your face, for little scars are very apt to be the result and, as you say, frequently annoying Get some . green soap. which by the way is about the color of custard, and use it both morning and night with hot water. Rinse the soap out well and rub in a goed skin food. Alcohol or camphor will dry up pimples if you use it often, but I would not make a practice of it because the evil will out some place else. If vour complexion has heen good, don't you think it is your stomach? Try a diet for a time and see what it will do for you. 3—In a series of physical culture les- sons, given not long ago in The Call, there were explicit instructions as to increasing the hips and bust.

They are always published quite free of charge. 3—1 do not know of anything that will restore gray hair. The people who deal in such things have been working on it for a long time, but it stands to reason they will never be successful. Dyes are much used and with splendid results, but I would net vouch as to whether they would in- jure the hair or net. Still. if it worried me, I would give it a trial. but re- member it is an endless task once be- gun. You do not realize how rapidly yeur hair grows until you see the dif- ference between the brown and the gray. EATING WHEN TRAVELING (Pauline). — The experienced woman traveler never depends wholly upon the railroad dining-room accommoda- tions when making a long journey. Much of the fatigue and discomfort of travel of which women complain is the result of irregular and hurried meals. While the meals served on all through trains are all that can be de- sired, there is generally such a demand for places at the tables that one often has to wait long beyond the regular meal hour. It is always wise to take with one a dainty lunch of rather sub- stantial sandwiches, fruit and nuts. which may be eaten leisurely if you should miss the regular meal or if you felt the need of refreshment between meals. In lieu of a regular lunch hamper pack the sandwiches in a tin box to keep them moist, put tiny olives and pickles well drained in' a tihtly* corked bottle, wrap cheese or any sub- stance which will impart a taint to other foods in waxed paper, shell the nuts and put the meats in a dainty box to economize space, and den’t for- get a liberal supply of Japanese paper napkins and a few paper plates. With these comforts you can lunch in a homey way and be independent of the autocrat of the car dining-room, for a time at least. Of course one should carry her own drinking cup, which it collapsible, can be packed away In a very small space. Water which is rather warm and flat can be made more palatable by adding a small quantity of lemon juice, which will also tend to re- ileve any nausea one may have. A two-ounce bottle of the strained juice should be placed In the valise for these purposes.
