Already there are many of the new
tailor gowns seen, and while they are
not very markedly different in style
from the gowns of last season, there is
a certain something about them which
marks them as being of a new fashion.
One charming style is made with the
skirt plain, of medium width, fitted to
perfection, of course, with the fulness

To Render a Chain Bust—Proof.
The following advice tomake a new
chain dust-proof is given in The
‘Wheel: ”Coil: it up and place it in a
small tin box. ‘On the top put pieces
of any good candle, and place before
a hot fire. The candle will melt and
run all over the chain, and find its
way into the links and blocks. When
this has been accomplished, put aside
the, box and contents to cool, and
wh’en't'he melted candle has solidified,
wipe ,off any superfluity. After this
treatment it will be found that grit
and dirt can only with difficulty. get
.. into the blocks.” . .
