HOUSEHOLD LETTER-
The importance of Leather In Faeh-
ionable Attire.
One of the most noticeable things
here is the rapidity with which wo
men acquire the knack of appearing
thoroughly modish and up-to-date in
their dress. The costume that Mts.
A. wears with Just the right air after
a-short sojourn here may be exactly
the same in which she looked con
spicuously suburban on her arrival.
In nine cases out of ten the change
in her appearance has been wrought
by means of what are called the
"small things" In her toilet. Her
boots, gloves and veil, her modish
purse and shopping bag, all the finish
ing touches that make the difference
between modishness and dowdiness.
The clever stranger within our gates
has been quick to recognize that

to supply leather for fashionable ac-
courtements, and the tanners art has
become of greater importonce than
ever. In addition to the immense
amount of leather used for shoes,
gloves, bags, trunks, belts and innu
merable small trimmings, the automo
bile has immensely increased the de
mand. For the fittings of the car
nothing else is so satisfactory while
the man who "chaufs" if not the one
who rides is “all clothed in leather”
with or without the fur on it.
New Footwear.
Never wars the dressing of a wo
man’s foot of more importance than
at this season when the universal us®
of short skirts for all walking pur
poses puts the foot so much in evi
dence. Where formerly the “foot
beneath the petticoat” “peeped in and
out,” it is now on view all the time,
and its dressing mates or mars the
effect of any costume. Fancy shoes
are the rule rather than the except
ion if we include the useful and popu
lar tan shades in this category. Odd
vamps and uppers are a growing
style. Even in low cut shoes one
sees this wrinkle and quite as often
as not the colors vary as well as the
materials.
The most desirable of new leathers
is chrome tanned glazed kid, which
is a glossy soft leather, nearly as
brilliant as patent leather but with
none of the latter’s tendency to split
in cold or to torture the foot in warm
weather. Made of goat skin the
toughest hide known to the tanner
the chrome tanned glazed kid is unu
sually durable as well as attractive,
and is made up in all the best styles
of the season at the same price as
other leathers.
Matching Accessories.
New York women are making quite
a fad of matching accessories.
Shoes, belt, gloves and shopping
bag all in the same color, often all In
exactly the same leather except the
gloves which are of kid or dogskin,
The easiest and most expensive way
to acquire these Is to give an order
for the set, but most women prefer to
buy, say the shoes and match up the
other things at various shops. Shoes
by the way are not quite qs sharply
pointed this spring and glazed leath
ers are more in demand than suede
or dull finishes, though in white
shoes great use is to be made of con-
vas the coming season.
Glove wrinkles.
Maize, in lovely soft tones, a mauve
or Hlas more pink than last season,
Copenhagen blues In all shadings and
greens from Reseda to myrtle.
Whites and blacks are not as much
worn in contrast with costumes as
formerly though of Bourse very muen
used wlty blacb or white toilets.
The woman who knows how to
dress better than her friends at
smaller cost, buys the best In gloves
knowing that in the long run she not
only appears to greater advantage
but saves money by selecting her
gloves with care. “To be well booted
and well gloved is to be well dress
ed” as the French say and they hnow
what they are talking about in this
matter surely.
Shopping and Traveling Bag*
Very flat and decidedly large are
the fashionable shopping bags with
few exceptions, and travelling hand
luggage is built on a similar plan.
Strange to say capacity is not sacrifi
ced to this general flatness of effect,
for bags great and small, are built
with ingeniously contrived side gores
that allow them to expand to meet de
mands for ext; a space. Glazed leath
ers are rather more liked than those
with “buffed” or dull finishes and
this choice Is a sensible one since the
glazed surface shed soil and wear
better than the suede finishes.
Belts and Buckles.
Belts of nanow leather that harmo
nize the prevailing color of the cos
tume or with Its trimmings are mo
dish and verv many of these have
metal slides or stationary ornaments
of various forms. Glove kid belts
made -In girdle forms and elaborate
with steel and gilt studdlngs continue
costly and fashionable though no
longer a novelty. Buckles finished
In white and In colored enamels are
used both with leather and fabric
belts, and elastics and metallised
gimp continue popular. Cretonne
belts, hats and parasols are to be a
fad of the coming summer.

DITCH CLEANING SHOVEL.
Iowa Man’s Improved Implement Good
For Road Work.
DUdies along the roadsides should
ho kept clean and free from dead
leaves, mud and refuse of all kinds
that may collect there. Otherwise the
water that runs off the roadbed will
stay in the ditches and gradually un
dermine the foundation of the road
and cause much trouble.
To prevent this an Iowa man has de
signed and patented a shovel that will

Dr. Karl Peters at a recent public

ly that the historic land of Ophir la lo
cated between the Zambezi and Lim

ered many shafts of ancient gold
mines, 500 temples, fortifications and

USEFUL DITCH CLEANBB.
be found exceedingly convenient for
cleaning ditches, says the Washington
Star. Cleaning a ditch with an ordi
nary shovel entails almost as much
work as rolling a peanut with a tooth
pick.
In this ditch cleaning shovel the
shovel proper is rounded to correspond
with the contour of the ditch, provid
ing a convenient means of reaching
dirt in the lower recesses of the ditch.
The shovel is supported from the han
dle by an adjustable angle lever, It be
ing possible to tilt the blade of the
shovel at any desired angle.
Rural Delivery and Good Roada.
The annual report of the fourth as
sistant postmaster general states that
at the close of the fiscal year there
were 37,728 rural free deliver}’ routes
served by 37,582 carriers. During the
year 2,312 new routes were established
and 350 discontinued, leaving a net
Increase in operation of 1,902. The re
port pays considerable attention to the
subject of road Improvement. It Is
stilted that, while ideal roads are not
asked for, they still need to be proper
ly drained and free from ruts and
washouts. Adequate highway laws
properly enforced are suggested.
Wide Tire Law Note.
The good roads committee of the
board of supervisors of Niagara coun
ty, N. Y., has reported In favor of the
proposed wide tire law, which pro
vides that after June 1, 1909, all wag
ons carrying 1,500 pounds or more shall
be equipped with tires at least three
inches In width. The penalty for vio
lation of the law will be from $5 to
$25 for each offenae.
SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZMA-
Itching, Burning Skin Dteeaee Routes
Without u«e of injurious Drug*
Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
of their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world In the case of Dr. Decatnr D.
Dennis, the eminent sHn specialist of
Chicago.
Dr. Dennis, In his own office prac
tice, discovered that jfere jfget&ble
oil of wlntergreen, properly mixed
with other simple remedies was
practically a sure specific for Eczema,
psoriasis, barber’s itch, salt rheum
and other itching skin diseases. But
the oil of wlntergreen alone was
found Ineffective. It required other
mild Ingredients such as glycerine
and thymol compounded with the
wlntergreen to produce the real
eczema cure.
This compounded D. D. D. Prescrip
tion positively takes away the Itch
at once—the Instant It Is applied to
the ekln. This vegetable liquid does
away with deleterious drugs so long
used In an attempt to doctor the blood,
whereas modern science has deter
mined that eczema Is first and all the
time a skin disease.
If you want to know more about the
merits of D. D. D. Prescription, call
at onr store. We vonch for this re
