BEADS, PAISLEY, AND BATIK ARE IN HIGH EVER tn the history of fash- FAVOR FOR DRESS WEAR N held a place of such esteem in the hearts of women as it does this Winter. There is no garment in her wardrobe upon which she lavishes greater affection, and certainly none which is more smartly useful. Any number of fashionable women ere buying a handsome blouse to a company their suit, and thus creat- ing for themselves a modish three- piece costume whose chic is unques« tioned. This is a thought particular- ly well liked by the woman who has ® fur wrap which she discovers to be too warm for many occasions, She dons her three-piece costume for wear in town or for the informal aft- ernoon affairs with the knowledge that she fs stunningly attired. And when the weather or circumstances demand she tops this with her fur wrap, or she may discard the coat of the suit when she desires, and ap- pear in a charming sown covered with her fur. The Costume Blouse. You know that by topping the skirt of your velvet suit with one of these ravishing costume blouses you have a gown complete which can take its place at any affair and win envious edmiration, I coaxed the buyer of a smart shop fSshow me some of her choicest models so that I might be able to give you all the newest ideas in up- to-the-minute blouses. She is con- stantly in touch with the famous ateliers of Paris, and tucked away in her cases may be found every latest style note as soon as it is conceived. They are like lovely exotic blos- soms in a tropical garden, with the moonlight giving that silvery sheen to the softness of the velvet flowers. For velvet broche continues high in favor. And the metal brocades in vivid colorings on a silvery back- ground are exquisite. One of the handsomest blouses which I have seen anywhere ts developed in silyer roses on a ground of bobolink blue. A misty gray georgette forms the sleeves and the band at the lower edge. And an exceptional look of distinction 1s achleved by the use of otter fur, wh’rh, you know, fs ultra smart. Don't you adore otter fur? It {s un- usual enough to be individual, and it gives that touch of softness which the metal cloths sometimes lack when used unrelieved. You will find it on some of the smartest blouses, where it is applied In various inter- esting ways. Both it and fitch are liked for the collars of the jacquette blouses. Paisley Again. T was certain that you would want to know about the paisley waist, in this season when anything paisley ‘s loyed, and I took special notes on one alluring blouse of this material. It showed gypsy-like tones of biue and red and green in its make-up, and it used accordeon pleating most auda- ciously and most effectively. A plas- tron of the pleating formed the front, with a tiny silver button at each up- per corner, where it was joined by the plain material, The sleeves also interestingly made use of an insert of the pleating along the cuter part, and the arrangement at the wrist was unusually graceful, A braided girdle of silver completed the picture, Have you noticed that these braided girdles are becoming very popular? I have seen them a great deal lately and they make an attractive finish, either of self-material or of a metal, or of the two combined. Those gath. ered into a band do not, of course, need a girdle, but the straight-line models are frequently given a note of character in this way, and ‘his ap- plies to gowns as well as blouses, I have heen a bit surprised this season to note how fashionable the beaded effects continue to be. They have been out in society so long, you know, that one might well expect them tq be replaced by a newer member. But they still hold their own and each season brings lovely beaded effects.

When water becomes dirty remove curtains and repeat this process until curtains are clean, When washing black silk stockings rinse in very strong bluing water, Don't think your sheets are of no further use because they are worn in the center, Pillow slips for every ¢ay may be made from the sides of them, even though there is a seam on each side. They will last a surpris- ing length of time.

I was shown a handsome thing of black cocoa lace beaded with the black wooden beads, the elzo of a wee French pea, in a round design that was most effective. The Tuck-in Blouse. The tuck-in blouse is seldom seen except with tajlored suits, end even here you are more than likely to find an over-blouse in one of the plainer types. Blue canton crepe or crepe de,chine ornamented in soutache braid or a fancy stitchery is a fa- vorite with the plain models. Nowa- days, you know, a woman never knows where she may end when she leaves home in the morning. An tm- portant club meeting where she may be asked to make a speech, a bazaar where unexpectantly she may have to take charge, a morning committee which may be followed by a lunch- eon at a smart restaurant, Andas a consequence she must be always ready to make a smart appearance, which she may feel certain of doings if there is a charming blouse hiding underneath her suit coat, At an exclusive little tea house the other day I noticed a well-known club-woman wearing a blouse of meta) brocade in a pompadour de- sign, which {s not only very fashion- able at the moment, but extremly fas- cinating as well.

The Popular Coatee, Speaking of short coats mo of the very serviceable coatee blous: They have chic, charm, good lines and a reputation for end- less wear.

Few women realize what a com- fort a wire lotter basket, such as is used on many office desks, can be in the Kitchen. It makes a splendid drainer for dishes, a reck for cooling cake and bread, and for baking pota- toes in the oven about the most con- yonient device that could be invented, Rub knives or cooling utensils with salt to remove odor of onions. More Than One Way of Acquiring Local Color OCAL color as used here is L most easily and only too fre- quently acquired at the rouge pot—incidentally at the expense of the naturally fine texture of the skin ——a toll that must be paid sooner or later, Of course, if the necessary precautions are taken, a good coating of cold cream and a thorough cleans- ing before retiring, the menace that the rouge pot holds may be thwarted, or, at least, delayed for some time to come. But, when all is said and done, isn't the real thing a whole lot more satisfying? No, not necessari- ly a brilliant natural color, but your own individual shade, e’en though ft be the paleness of the lily. If, on the other hand, you are the type that “needs” color—and it is a precious few of us who do not—then why not work for it? It is « long and some- times tedious process, this process of coming into one’s own—complexton —but really it is worth the trial. Once we begin this back-to-nature business, even though results are not particularly quick in coming, the In- creased good feeling of splendid health and limitless energy that must be ours as a result fs cufficient in itself, No More Parties. Going back to the beginning, we must all agree on one point, and that {s this: Rosy cheeks are de- pendent not only on a copfous supply No Dinner Is a Success Unless thz Salad Is Right Prune Salad, Wash and steam half a pound large. prunes.

Every single day should find two or more of the iron producers on the menu of the anemic girl, the color- less maiden, Rare roast beef and @ tonic are invariably remedial in most cases; but individuals differ. Rest is logically the next step. Quiet nerves and better digestion are only two of the many results that come from proper and sufficient rest.
