WHAT WOMEN WANT TO KNOW
Ideal Arms.—My arms are so rough and horrid I am ashamed of them. Is there any way by which rough, sharp elbows can be made smooth and dimpled?—Vanity.
To have ideal arms is not such a difficult thing, but you must begin right and keep at it. Arms with rough elbows are not pretty arms. If the elbows are rough, it means two things. First, that you are in the habit of resting on your elbows, -and, second, that you do not know how to take care of them.
There is a certain society beauty of London who, at the beginning of the season, found herself the owner of a
Eair of elbows that were rough and ard. Instead of dimples there were
oalouses. She sent for a beauty doctor, who treated $hem thus: She soaked the elbows in hot water, as one would soak one's finger tips before manicuring. Then she touched them with cold cream, doing up each elbow carefully in absorbent cotton and fine linen. She treated them in this manner for half a dozen nights, and the callouses disappeared and the dimples began to come.
Elbows that are rough must be sandpapered literally. A little powdered fumice is best. Let it be rubbed over
he arms as tho one were going to rub off the rough places. Then let the arms be anointea with vaseline and almond oil melted together in equal quantities. This course will soon reduce the roughest arms. %
Question for Monday. Care of the Eyebrows.—My eyebrows
are getting thin and I would like to know what to use to invigorate them. —Mrs. H. B.

Making Over Furs. Furs are a bit of a problem for the
woman who wants to dress well on a moderate sum of money. They are expensive to begin with, and vary in style almost as often as frocks and hats. There is new cut in sleeves every winter, a different length, a variation in collar and some novelty in lining. Of course this fal l 's furs differ a good deal from last season, but they suggest all sorts of practical schemes for the artistic remodeling of old garments. Almost all furs are trimmed or made up with other furs. Ermine is combined with almost everything but seal, deer and baby calfskin; chinchilla combines with seal nicely, especially the Russian chinchilla, which has a brownish cast. It is also used with deer and mink, with Persian lamb and fine dogskin. Usually the light fur is the tromming; but squirrel, beaver, tibet and moleskin are all very smart trimmed with 'lamb or with monkey skin.
When furs are not combined, any one fur may be trimmed with suede leather, or for dressy occasions with embroidery. This use of leather is new, and you have no idea what a smart touch i t gives an old coat put over a collar, cuffs or set in a douple-breasted tailor vest. It comes in all the dull vegetable dyes, in hunting green, golf red, mahogany, bluet blue, navy blue, and every conceivable shade of brown, light and dark. Sometimes it is embroidered with outline work in gold thread or silk.
The embroideries most in vogue for fur trimmings are straps from old Chinese sik petticoats, to be found in any Chinese shop, bands from Persian twels, strips of Russian or Hungarian
fteasant work and all the rich Turk-sh, India and Japanese hand embroi
deries. The colors are selected to match the color scheme of the fur and lining as closely as possible. It would be
1 very easy for a clever girl to imitate Russian or Japanese embroidery and make her own trimming just to match her coat.
Nearly all the coats have light linings. As this was somewhat the vogue last year, many women will unpack their furs with a sense of dismay over the soiled conditions of their pretty ooat linings. But there is no need to worry, for a soiled lining that is still in good condition can be made as good as new by the right sort of home cleaning.
Linings for fur coats are fitted in after the coat is quite finished and may be removed without any ripping beyond the actual tacking that holds them in. Once out, shake and brush with a velvet whisk, then regularly wash in a lukewarm suds of caatile soap and borax, two toaspoonfulB of borax and a handful of soap shavings to a bowl of water, and let drip in the wind. When almost dry roll over a curtain pole, pull taut, pin and stand near tho fire. Unroll the next morning and you will find to all
material.
intents and purposes a new coat lining. If the lining is iri a pale tint, soak
in cold borax water, two teaspoonfuls to a basin of water, for half an hour before washing.
It is not impossible for the amateur dressmaker to do over her own furs. Use always a seamless pattern, place it on the leather side, tack with pins, then cut without any seam allowance, using a sharp penknife. The seams are overhanded with fine stitches. I t is wise to first cut a cambric pattern, see that i t fits perfectly and make a stiff paper pattern from that, as any wrong cutting in fur work is serious. In piecing, make sure that the nap of the fur runs in the same direction and that your colors are what furriers call « < n l n n n " ft ' closs.' '
New Tints and Trimmings. The French have just brought out a
line of coloiings in the chiffon cloths, which they name le trefle mcarnat, or the red clover. All of the red-clover colorings, from the very faintest to the richest and deepest, are represented, and exquisitely beautiful they are.
The new gray tints, from the softest
?>earl that looks almost like white down 0 a thick moleskin coloring, are very
much in the van. There is one very fashionable color that is somewhat whimsically known as elephant's breath, and which is really and truly far nearer the color of an elephant's hide than what one might imagine his breath to be.
Both the clover and the elephant colorings are trimmed with embroideries in the dull, faded tones; and dyed lace is often used to supplement the other trimmings. The exact tint of the cloth must be reproduced, or the effect is a failure.
And, by the way, dyed laces are renewing their vogue of the springtime. When first introduced they were looked npon as merely a passing freak of fashion; but they have really made quite a firm niche for themselves. The little separate blouses and bodices in the dyed laces are quite often an accompaniment to the tailor-made gowns and when the three-piece suit—which,' incidentally, retains all of its fasmon-able following—is ordered a blouse of the dyed lace i s more often than not arranged for.
Fancies for the Fair.
Paris la maintaining the vogue of the becoming little Eton jacket, and new models are shown in these constantly.
The new galloons are gorgeous in design and coloring. Some of them show the peacock feather in rich, dark hues and with metallic touches.
In ribbons, plaids are being used in Paris as trimmings. In varying .widths these ribbons are often fringed out £bd are fastened over flounces of the gown material or applied to skirts between flounces of filmiy materials.
Shaded stockings are a whim rather than a reasonable, fashion, pretty, possibly for little girls with whom stockings are fully a third of dress decoration or for young girls to wear with
dancing frocks. But for older girls they are mainly reserved for fancy dress, or to exactly match a shaded frock, not for natural wear.
A ribbon manufactured expressly for fringing out has a satin stripe thru the center, the background is white and
?ink rosebuds are scattered on it, while he gauze sides are pale pink.
A novelty in jackets, owned by a slim Englishwoman, is a short jacket of white kidskin, with buttons and trimmings of wood-brown suede.
Shirts show a decided tendency toward greater fullness; yet skirts with an interminable number of pleats that hold the lines down well to the knees are equally good. It has been hard, in spite of Paquin, to get used to the very full skirts again.
As Paquin is usin^ Dresden buttons in the new yellow-tinted reds and purplish blues with patterns outlined in gold, these buttons are among the latest importations. Other colors as well as those mentioned are also in evidence.

'The gown illustrated is in one of the new coral pinks with crushing or creasing to the very last thread. The model illustrated is well suited embroidered lace yoke and a girdle with sash ends in jacqueminot red velvet, for a tall and slender figure. The little coat is arranged with a corded shirring toning in delightfully wi\h the soft pink of the cloth. The bodice is applied over the broad shoulder, that haugs in cape fashion over the-sleeve. A shallow in shirred points to the yoke, hanging loosely but without puffiness over the belt, vest of lace with little square velvet bows makes a relief, and the deep-pointed and the sleeve shows a shoulder puff, an interval of shirring and then a very girdle, mounted upon a featherbone foundation, is drawn snugly to define the loose puff to below the elbow. The skirt has a pointed yoke effect, and to this svelte curve of the new figure. The sleeve is a very recent model, with its the skirt is attached in two sections, the upper one short and shirred, and the double puff to the elbow and tightly fitting lower part. The skirt is disposed lower one in a very full flounce. A flexible featherbone crinoline is run in the vel- with tablier front, shirred sides and back, and full flounce applied beneath two veteen binding so that the full folds do not fall in around the feet. The velvet deep nun's folds. There is a deep facing of velveteen that takes the place of sash ends in front making a very piquant effect, and the entire design is modish a hem and acts as a binding as well, this giving the correct swing to the sheer and youthful.
Just about a year or so ago the fashionable dames of Paris—those who lead and make rather than follow the fashions—declared that their exclusive ideas in dress were being copied quite too quickly by the multitude; that the masses were becoming quite as well dressed as the classes; and in a country Whore class distinctions are so closely and clearly defined as in France, this was a thing not to be borne with for a moment.
One among them, cleverer than the rest, suggested that they dress m exact reproduction of their own family portraits, that these would afford styles that could not be copied by the undesirable; and presto I the costume de style was born.
But anything so clever, so distinctive, BO original could not long be left to be the exclusive possession of any one set or clique; and it was only a short time before all Paris followed suit. But the field is so wide, tho range of modes so large, the effects of each and every period so different from the others, that there is absolutely no possibility of clashing, and each fashionable leader can wear her own individual costume de
v Style knowing that hers is tho only one
Jnd that there are no duplicates—a contorting reflection to the woman who de
sires exclusiveness and is willing to pay for it.
And directly to this same costume de style can we trace the very wide latitude in modes which this season affords. 'All of the historical stvles are being revived, and the edsignera have been haunting the national galleries all summer, copvine a sleeve here, a collar there, a bodice somewhere else, and combining those varying items in the most delightful way to make the fashions for the modern maid.

And speaking of figures, the outlines have changed vastlv and materially in these last few weeks. The bodices are now being fashioned to be worn ontatde of the skirt, and even sorao shirtwaists are on view at an im-

Excessive Cleanliness Is a Symptom of Mysophobia.
It is a recollection of his own afflictions as a child that a college pro fessor makes a plea for dirt. Children, he avers, are tortured by the madness of mothers. They are not only scrubbed with cruel frequency, but are restrained from wholesome play by the threat of punishment for soiled clothes. Nature, he maintains, has had a good purpose in implanting in every normal child a fondness for dirt, and the constant efforts to defeat this purpose must have a deleterious influence on the character. He considers it a grave invasion of the rights of childhood to insist that the human young, who are in a state of barbarism, should look like angels on parade. " T h e laws of nature," he declares, "cannot be constantly violated with impunity;' ' children who have the possibilities of a fine manhood are perverted into vain and finical peacocks by the diseased desire of mothers for unnatural cleanliness.
That this desire for excessive cleanliness is in truth pathological is affirmed by a medical writer in the London Lancet. He describes it as a hatred or fear of dirt, and has no doubt that it is an infectious germ disorder. The woman whose highest ambition is to be regarded as the best housekeeper, who makes all enjoyment of the home impossible by her eternal vigilance in tho matter of dust; whose mind seems incapable of entertaining any other idea than that of absolute cleanliness, is obviously afflicted with this malady, which is called mysophobia. That the disease is extending is beyond a doubt. What has been called the force of example is in fact the effect of contagion. I t is chiefly because of the consequences to the children that tho subject is considered worthy of attention, but there is little hope that agy appeals to mother love will be effective.

Twenty-four servants in one house would seem to promise a continuous struggle with the perplexing servant
Eroblem, but Mrs. Clarence Mackay as solved it in her sumptuous country
place on Long Island by giving as much thought to their comfort and accommodation as she did to the rest of the house.
This small army of helpers is directed by the housekeeper, who has her own suite of rooms, livingroom, bedroom and bath. The position of housekeeper in one of these great country places is no sinecure and to see that every sign of wear and tear is removed as fast as it appears is in itself no small task. The housekeeper must spend hours in the linenroom, which is ceiled and panelled with cedar and filled with treasures from European looms and embroiderers, and then there is a separate room for the linen for the servants' rooms, which requires weekly attention.
Mrs. Mackey's maid has her own suite of rooms, the butler has his and the other servants have cosy apartments in a wing of their own. There is a diningroom for the upper servants and another one for the lower servants, and afternoon tea is served every day in each. The maids all wear white and on the top floor of their wing is a pleasant room fitted with a machine and other conveniences for sewing and cutting, and here the maids are found many an afternoon making prettv things for themselves with the help of the housekeeper.
The head footman spends most of his days in the silver room, which is really a large vault filled with a rare collection of new and old silver. Each piece must be cleaned and polished every day and the head footman has to have the assistance of another man to help him in his work.
There is a cook and a second cook and four more cooks with any number of kitchen maids and men to furnish assistance in the preparation of the meals and every utensil which has been invented to make kitchen work easy is found in the great room, tiled in white.
Mrs. Mackay is easy to serve and

suit, but her definite dislike to anything suggestive of stoutness in her maids and men, has given her housekeeper no end of trouble, but it has resulted in providing Harbor Hill with a staff of slim, trim and active servants who adore their mistress and appreciate the comforts which she has arranged for them.
Mrs. Mackay recently gave a garden fete at Harbor Hill and $8,000 was cleared for a New York hospital. The invitations were issued on Mrs. Mack-ay's favorite lavendar paper and that everything might be in harmony, the three-cent lavender postage stamp was used. It is one of Mrs. Mackav's fads always to use a stamp to harmonize with her lavender stationery, no matter if it does cost more.
MAMMOTH FLAG OF POSTAGE STAMPS j
A New York Girl Plans a Unique Gift for the National Historical Museum in Washington, and Makes a Model of the United States Flag with 8,495 Postage Stamps.

A flag 10 feet long and 6 feet 4 inches wide, made of postage stamps, is a unique gift which M.iss Lilian H. Somers of New York has planned for the National Historical museum in Washington. The model was made by Miss Somers' father, H. C. Somers, and the young girl will spend eight months in reproducing it with the stamps, which nave been contributed by people from all over the country. The name and address of every subscriber will be recorded in an album to be presented to the museum with the flag.
The seven red stripes in this big flag are made of red two-cent stamps and it will take 3,510 of them. The white stripes will be composed of 3,125 United States stamps which have been bleached. The blue field is made of 1,885 blue one-cent stamps, which are now out of circulation, and every star has the name of a state and is inscribed with the date when it was admitted to the unionj and items in re-f;ard to its population and area and he name of its capital. In the center
of the blue field is the largest star, representing the Philippines, and on it is the seal of the United States, with the motto, "Our Star of the Eas t ."
The flag will require 8,495 postage stamps, mounted on a canvas, and will cost, when finished, about $5,000.

LADY NORTHCOTES LTFE A ROMANCE \Y
Modern Housewives Have Learned an Important Secret.
Old-fashioned housewives disliked putting much expense into kitchen things which required a lot of scrubbing and scouring that soon took out the color and ruined the texture. But the very up-to-date housewife has learned that she does not have to spend one-third of her life to keep the other two-thirds clean, writes Mary Anabele Fanton. She has found that a little pure borax will save a lot of muscular activity and much wear and tear.
Her window curtain she soaks in cold borax water, two teaspoonfuls co a pail of water, for half an hour, then she rubs them lightly thru hot suds of the same solution, rinses them in clear^cold water, and lets dry in the shade. When nearly dry she irons on the wrong side and invariably they look like new.
As for her linoleum, table oil-cloths, woodwork and windows, she washes them all in the hot borax suds; half a cake of shaved castile soap and two teaspoonfuls of pure borax to a pail of very hot water, and they don't have to be rubbed, they iust wipe clean. An hour or two Saturday morning and everything is spio and span, and a few minutes a day after the breakfast dishes are out of the way keeps the room fresh and pretty.
