' HOODS AGAIN SEEN REVIVAL OF A QUAINT AND PRET TY FASHION. Charming Head Coverings, Discarded for More Than a Generation, Are Once More in Favor Mode of the Veil. There was never anything created for woman's wear In which a pretty woman looked more piquant and be witching than In a hood of becoming type, and we have too long overlooked the opportunities for dainty coquetry that lurk in the folds of the capuchon, but now, thanks to the motor, the hood Is in fashion. .

Henderson 3c Hi aid, IOtH Street. Opposite Post Office riety and originality are surprising in view of the somewhat narrow limita tions of line and idea. Moreover the liking for hoods which .started first with practical fur and 'cloth headgear for winter motoring and developed into coquettish and elaborate head covering for wear with evening dress in open or closed cars has spread far beyond its original field. Taffeta is used more often than any other material for the making of the modish evening hood, very soft taffeta of course, without crispness, though with a certain body which the big hood needs. Liberty satin, too, Is used for lovely models, and occasionally one sees a model of transparent mous seline or net or lace over a , silken foundation. Silk veiling, too, is a hood material, and one of the prettiest models was in voile de soie ciel, with a little puf fing bordered by cords of ciel taffeta and a frill of lace framing the face while on the middle front just inside the lace frill was posed a garland of tiny pink roses and foliage. This same model we have seen in rose pink taf feta and in a delicate lilac taffeta. A hood of this type should surely not be a difficult problem for clever brains and fingers, and for that matter a majority of the models are not par ticularly complicated In construction, requiring taste and ingenuity rather than expert workmanship. A wide puff of cream net bordered on each side by a line of tiny roses or rosebuds and a single or double frill of lace make a good finish for one of the voluminous hoods of taffeta or liberty. Sometimes the frills are of silk mousseline or chiffon rather than of lace,' and perhaps the outer frill matches the hood In color while the frill next the hair and face is white. Narrow black lace and knots of black velvet trim one hood of straw colored silk, and velvet loops and bows finish the front of another silk model which has only a narrow bordering frill of lace around the face but a deep capelike frill of lace around the neck. A majority of the hoods have some sort of cape finish, more or less shal low, and some have long scarfs of the hood material cut in one with the body of the hood. Two veils, one falling in front and one behind, are adjusted to most of the poke and coal scuttle motor bon nets, and the neutral and medium tints are usually chosen, the fashion able smoke and taupe grays being es pecially popular. Other small, close fitting bonnets ' have veils draped round them and falling at the back in two long scarfs, which may be adjust ed and' manipulated as the wearer may choose. Half bonnet, half hood are certain motor toques in mousseline de soie on the order of the taupe one pic tured here, with wide, low draped, crown, soft frills falling over the hair and long scarfs brought forward from sides and back. MUST HAVE A FOUNDATION. Woolen Dresses Are All Now Built Upon a Lining. The woolen dress of this season Is built partially upon a lining that is, portions of the waist, include a lining. The surplice waist, stylish In every detail, Is dependent upon a foundation. The draped satin waist would lose its classic lines if denied the lining. These woolen fabrics are light - in weight and many are light in color. There ar3 rich light fawn shades that are fashioned in one-piece costumes and trimmed with satin bands and net yokes and sleeves upon chiffon lin ings. One dress was worthy of men tion because of its clever pattern and trimming. It was a light tan cloth trimmed with bands of peacock blue passementerie and piped with blue satin. The slit seam of the skirt showed a narrow band of the silk, with small buttons placed close to gether down each side of the piped lines. The buttons were quite small and cloth-covered. The waist was very much on the order of a jumper, with the shoulders split at the front and back, piped with small ruffles of cream Valenciennes. The high collar was banded with a narrow strip of brown velvet. The hat was made of brown satin and trimmed with brown plumes and a band of gold braid finished with gold tassels. The gloves matched the dress. Glove Fastenings for Dresses. The patent fasteners from wornout and discarded gloves may be utilized by cutting them from the gloves, leav ing enough of the kid attached to be fastened on skirt bands and plackets. These can be sewed on by machine under a fly flap and they will last long er than buttons or hooks and eyes. mi- . .. 1 . l l 1 c 1 m r i I iiieau liianc lutrtti ictoieuera iur l-VAMt. LOOK FOR THE UNION LABEL Brought Back to Favor by the Vogue of Over-Drapery. There is a wide return to the skirt made of silk or its imitation, instead tf the skirt of one material from waist to hem. ) It has been many years since the sham skirt was considered possible. It has been revived over and again whenever the overskirt or tunic came into fashion. It is now here in full force because over-drapery is so much a part of every costume. The silk foundation is gored, and then a bias fold or a cir cular ruffle finishes out the length. Over this the drapery is dropped from the waist. Even street skirts are built in this manner. It is not an especial econo my, as some women seem to think, because the tunic takes as much ma terial as the whole skirt would. Overdrapery is exceedingly good looking when well done. It must be close fitting over the hips, and have a long straight line at the back and cut in perfect lines around the hem. Too much care cannot be given to this drapery, as any line that cuts the figure off is exceedingsly bad when It is not good. These tunics are finished with wide braid or bands of embroidery. In fine fabrics for house wear there is usually only a hem, but it really needs more than , this. Nothing makes a better trimming than one of the filet bands now offered in every color and price. Don't expect physic and tonics to keep you well, if you neglect the laws of health and hygiene If people laughed more they would all be happier and healthier. ' Don't eat your meals quickly; this causes indigestion and a red nose. Equal quantities of lemon juice, lis- -terine and glycerine make an excellent mouth wash. . A mixture of white of egg and red pepper is good for neuralgic headache. Apply It to the base of the brain. .yfhen a splinter has been, driven deep into the hand it can be extract ed without pain by steam. Nearly fill a wide-mouthed bottle with hot water, place the injured part over the moutb of the bottle and press tightly. The suction will draw the flesh down and in a minute or two the steam will ex tract the splinter and the inflamma tion will disappear. . ' Removing Ink Stains from Hands.' : The purple stains caused by han dling a typewriter ribbon may be re moved from the hands with a cloth wet with pure alcohol. This treat ment saves the necessity of a pro longed ' scrubbing, and is far Jess In jurious to delicate fingers. What a comfort this knowledge will be to the stenographer whose ribbon must al ways be changed just about the end of the day! - BUY UNION MADE GOODS n0 Soil HARDWARE, STOVES, SPOTT ING GOODS.
