VINEGAR TO THE RESCUE.
When washing greasy plates and dishes add a little vinegar to the water. Vinegar will help also to brighten metal work, to remove rust, and to expel all smell of food from cooking utensila.
If a room la amoky, burn a few drops of vinegar on a shovel to clear the air.
The grate will shine more bright- ly if you mix vinegar with the blacklead; so will the furniture if polished with a mixture of nive oil and vinegar.
DIRTY CEILINGS.
A dirty ceiling spolls the look
of a room, especially if it is in-
clined to peel, too. Mix one ounce
of alum with a quart of water, and wash the ceiling. This will also pre- vent it from peeling.

For Day Time And Evening.
Paris, Jan. 1.
An incoming season and its pleasant changes approaches, but we are concerned for the moment with one important step-the dance step and with visions of a shortened dance frock.
The game of prophecy is an in- triguing one. If the waistline be-
comes easier-and it haa-belts will rest on hips, even although this is but a fall of half an inch. If bodices continue to be draped -and there is evidence that sum- mery fabrics will lend themselves to a continuance, of this gracious mode-boleros and little capes will disappear. Possibly the pointed, curved and longer capes will re- main, and will take over some of the bodice draperies and folds. S¶¶¶¶TING

There is an amplitude that never suggests that unfortunate feeling of a saving of material in all of the models shown here. Evening skirts are distinctly wide. They float out more determinedly from the region of the waist-line than did those of the tightened hip- although certain models of that elongated line appear here also.
There is a reason for the flowing draperies which are the momentary expression of the mode in this house. The petticoat, which we
