Calling Gowns and Negllge : .
An unusually chic calling [ gown of i .
dark green taffeta showed the 1830
mode In Its quaintest Corm ; with puff-
Ings wIld Ir.sertlons , long shoulder ef-
foct and Cull sleeves , to say nothing
of the full skirt and small waist , the
ensemble wns all one could deslro. A
toque of the green showed tiny wing
" . and knots of ribbon velvet of a paler
shade for contrast : the green para-
sol was a most fitting accompaniment
to this particular costume.
Any number of dainty matinees and
negligees must be considered in the
trousseau , from the lounging robe for
boudoir use to the peignoir of regal

a pity someone Joesn't deslb'11 a few
simple patterns that might readily be
copied. The prettiest pieces used 110
far have sleep rounded points with
raised effects , anti scallops around the
entire edge In preference to the fringe
that was so fashionable last yoar. !
Fringe , however , properly belongs to' '
the macrame variety , so one may !
choose it with perfect propriety. Very
deep collars of this heavy lace will
bo worn in the early spring , and as
they are adjustable they will answer
for lightweight wraps as well.

To Clean - Jewels.
Every little while all brooches ,
rings and such things that are In constant .
stant use should bo brushed \ with a
toothbrush that has been dipped incan
eau do cologne. If the setting Is open
it must bo done from the back , and
care must bo taken not to loosen the
stones. Then lay the things in a box
of jewelers' sawdust , which has been
slightly heated beforehand , and leave
for an hour , says the Ohio State Jour-
nal. God ] chains may be washed In
warm soapsuds , drying them on 1\ sort
towel by pulling back and forward.
They may also bo dried in sawdust
and the particles blown 01' dusted ] out
aftorward. Bo sure and get them dry ,
ns they will be apt to become worn
between the links If ' .

Use a feather brush to remove dust

To clean sponges add a tablespoonful -
ful of strong ammonia to a pint of
