IT IS A PLEASURE FOR A WOMAN TO USE BOUDOIR ACCESSORIES WITH HER OV THAT ARE MARKED There is something about a woman'’s | "Boudoir as a result of which her| ‘Personality seems to infuse an ele-| “ment into the atmosphere that gives | it charm. Her dainty accessories are | «#n.evidence, and these should heziven 22 touch that stamps them as her own a dainty nd attractive manner. In the first place, let me say a few 2words about the word boudoir. It § $from the French, and means a placs $0t retirement where the mistress of a ghouse may meet her intimate friends. | | | | 2In America its significance is modified, <But it cannot lose Stlrely, and there are occasio: s ¥ealthy families, especially those that re much traveled, who continue to ave true boudoirs. | However, American life is so strenu- | its meaning en ¢ous and so different from European $Bome life that such rcoms do not fit | into the average scheme of things. | herefore we have come to use the | sword as well as the room in an adapt- | 'ed form. It signifies, besides the goom already described, a glorified Sdressing room, and even 4 handsome | §ghamber. Boudoir accessories gen- | verally suggest bedroom furnishings And articles of clothing given the| fame of boudoir apparel are o en inleemng garments, as well as lounging fobes, etc. But in every instance the | $Scene of intimacy about evervt Jconnected with a boudoir is ret 4Because of this it is essential intiness prevail and individuali emphasized | 8 Tnitialed < : Fittings for bur e & etouch when ther have the i #or fnitials of the person occupyir Fooms engraved or worked on each Stores where these fittings are pur.| fchased will have pi marked, per- ?laps without extra cost. if the price | ung re )| fble in almost evers fat. you can reduce by eati ) too thin, you must concentrate esh building foods and eat mol dther way, vou exercise. for by exer- ise alone can you keep vour figure $upple and r it graceful = 'Dancing, swimming and certain sim #lo exercises are recommended.

You must | clench your fists and pull your hands back to the shoulders as though pull- ing on a great weight; this develops shoulders and arms. You must put your hands on your hips, keep your | legs rigid and bend the trunk of the | body forward, sideways and back- | wards a dozen times, ending by ro- tating it around the waist as a pivot. | This Is for waist, back, arms, shoul- | ders and general supplenes If you are quite thin you might try & nightly massage of the hollow parts of the shoulders with a little warm | cocoa butter. The only trouble with this treatment is that some of the oil | is bound to work out of the skin after- | ward; therefore you had better cover the shoulders with a light silk or mus- lin ijacket to protect your other clothes. Fat shoulders and arms must be reddced by dieting. If you are so bad that a ridge of flesh shows above the vorget, change to the new corset-and- | brassiere combination and go on re ducing Shoulders and arms should be as whife as possible, even with a natural | brupette complexion.

It has become customary to have oudoir pillows initialed. These pil- lows -are sometimes called “head” or slumber” pillows. They are the small and downy pillows that are used to tuck under the cheeks of sleepers and give their heads exceptionally soft resting places. They are apt to be of silk, with the finest of lingerie covers. In the tops are lace initials or perhaps their letters are embroidered or done in extra fine cross-stitch. There is which' the silken lining shows. Filet Initials. When it comes to the initialing of boudoir accessories such as these pil- lows and also of vanity sets, etc., filet letters are excellent. Two of these | letters are given today. They are the | ninth and tenth in the alphabet of Old | English letters that are being designed especially for readers of this paper. | These letters are just the things to use to initlal boudoir articles in an in- | dividual manner suggested. They may be done in filet, using a fine thread, and be appropriate for boudoir pillows. They may be crocheted in heavier thread and be used admirably in vanity sets. They can be worked | on Hardenger cloth and be done in colors for cushion covers.

When ironing lace, embroid- ered garments or bedding, or any kind of initialled hand-wosk, have a piece of an old Turkish_ towel fastened to one end of the ironing board to lay these pieces on.

Dark linens should, after washing, be carefully ironed on the wrong side. Ironing on the right side not only gives them a shiny, shabby look, but also causes the color to fade. When using sour milk cream in making cookies or doughnuts, mix_ thea up the night_before and set them on ice.

If one has a flair for color these pieces lend themselv dmirably to painting and with, the use of gay fabrics many stunning decorating schemes can be evolved In this particular room the walls and woodwork are ivory white, the window shades vellow, and the drapes a deep Mediterranean blue patterned in_sealing-wax red The furniture is black with touches of red on spin and under the leaves of the table. The pads for the settee and the chairs are vellow chintz patterned in both blue and red, and the black pottery lamps have shades of bright, buttercup yellow. (Copyright. 1925.) Medicine Stains: Bed linen will often become stained with medicine during illness. These marks will frequently npt vield to ordinary washing and should always receive special treatment. It is a good plan before the linen is washed to put a paste formed of fuller's earth and household ammonia onto the stains. The paste should be left on until the pre ration has dried and can then be rinsed off in cold water. If the first trial is not entirely suc. cessful, the process can be repeated.
