iA Cheerful Home
oMaketh for
Creature Comfort
And the home illuminated by gas is always bright
and cheerful. And, too, the economy adds to the smiles
of content. If your house is not piped for illuminating
gas, let us show you some figures that will convince
you that it should be.
Taking Of f the Chill
Little early for the furnace but not too early for
chilly mornings and evenings. A gas radiator will take
the chill off and save coal bills. Mighty fine for the
bath room about this time o' year.
Pretty Fixtures
For Modest Homes
If you haven't already investigated you will be sur
prised to find how cheaply you can install some modern
and pretty gas fixtures fixtures that will add a whole
lot to the cheer and brightness of the little cottage. "We
are showing a fine line of these new and up-to-date fixtures.
Using Gas
Better get over the unfounded notion that gas is
expensive for lighting or heating. It is the cheapest
illuminant adn the cheapest fuel. We will prove this
if you will let us. Brightest and cheapest light-Hottest
and cheapest heat. Here are two facts susceptible of
easy demonstration.
How About Coke?
Ever use it in the furnace or baseburner? It is "fine
business." Cheaper and better than hard coal or semi
anthracite. "We sell the coke.

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. .

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.

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! -
