FOR THE WOMAN WHO LOVES LUXURY AND IS JUST A LITTLE INDOLENT, A DRESSING SACQUE OF PINK VELVET TRIMMED WITH PINK MARABOU. BY MARY MARSHALL. HERE are gaps in every young woman’s wardrobe just wait- mg to be filled by some well chosen bit of wearing apparel or dress accessory. You know how it is living on a dress allowance or clothes budget—usually enough for the big things and the really necessary things, but not quite enough to go around for all the dainty little hand- kerchiefs and scarfs, negligees, gloves, umbrellas and little evening accesso- ries that in one way a girl needs just as much as she needs a pair of street shoes or a Winter coat Any girl would really be discouraged as she ¢ompares her dreffs allowance with the list of things she feels she must have—if it were not for the thought, “Perhaps some one will give me something to wear for Christmas.” Once separate blouses were most usual Christmas gifts—lingerie blouses, lace blouses, crepe de chine blouses. Every woman expected to get at least one of them in her Christmas pack- ages. Then hardly any one wore blouses, and Santa Claus was in- ¢ormed that he must think of some- tuing else. But blouses are again in fashion and make welcome presents if wisely selected. - ‘For a donor not knowing much about a woman's ward- robe requirements, one of lace or metal brocade would be the best choice Evening acressories are of many sorts and prices. Fans are still car- ried at the opera and for more formal evening dress. There are evening bags of every sort and description. from the very little ones that hold the tinlest powder puff with a lipstick somehow hidden in the tassel to the very large ones that some women pre- fer. I saw a charming bag of gold brocade with a jeweled *‘fermoir” the other day. It was not more than 5 or 6 inches deep. but almost a foot broad. A medium sized fan might have been carried in it. No bit of lingerie makes a more charming gift than a dance set—of bandeau and bloomers or drawers. Black sets are very popular just at present. One that stiuck me as es- pecially attractive was made of black georgette with simple hemstitched edges and decorated with tiny flower sprays . done in colored embroidery silk. Stockings should not be chosen at random. Many women have on hand a palr or two of gift stockings that they never wear for the simple rea- son that they are of a tint that doesn’t really suit them. There are so many possible shades of gray, of beige and even of flesh. Women are as particu- |1ar about their stockings as men are about their neckties—and really like to have something to say about them. But, then, if you buy stockings for a friend vou usually have to find out the size wanted—and while you are about this you can just as well find out the preferred shade as well. The effect of being real well dressed imay be hard to define. It may seem an illusive something im- possible of measuring in detail. But if you stop to study the dress of women who strike you a well dressed, and others who impress you at once as somehow not coming up to the mark, you will no doubt come to the conclusion as I have that dressing well does depend on a num- ber of definite considerations, and that the effect of being badly dressed may result from lack of attention to just one of these requirements. Stockings make a tremendous dif- ference. There must be no visible mend or spot upe them and the seam must run straight up the back You can’t look really well dressed if this seam just meanders any way up your leg. ~To secure perfect-fitting stockings they must not be too full to begin with and you really ought to wear hose supporters. Many of the young girls w these on a narrow Rip belt. The back supporter should be placed right over the back seam and it should be readjusted to suit the length of the stockings worn After hose supporters have been worn a few times the elastic gives a little and they should therefore be tightened. All supporters have sides for this purpose, yet many times they are never adjusted at all. ‘The hee!s of your shoes must never be worn down. If you have a tend- ency to wear them down unduly. you sh6uld take your shoes regularly to the cobbler's every week or two. If you wear heels down rapidly, the {fault may be with the sort of shoe vou wear. Shoes with a slight arch support counteract the tendency to wear down the heels, although jt is perfectly normal to wear heels down slightly at the outer sides And, of course, If you would ap- pear well dressed, your shoes must be free from mud und spots For street wear black., brown or other dark shades are advisable since they do not show grime, and may more conveniently be cleaned and re- dressed. It is well enough to go in & mer or in the country, but if u care how you look you should al- have hoth gloves on and fast- ened neatly in the street in cool weather.

Let your milliner or salesgirl help you in adjusting the hat when you first buy it:and take care to adjust it always carefully in the same way Your hat must be free from any visible spot of dust. Velvet hats, so much worn this season, require espe- cially careful attention in this regard. The tone of gloves and stockings should be carefully considered if you want to be well dressed.

She wore a gray co: with cream-colored glo stockings and black shoes coat called for stockings of a gra tone, gray or black shoes and oyster-colored or white x'oves.

Colonial buft prints, ses where there already is too much nourishment—too much protein, too much sugar, too much starch—and a little curtailment of the amount of tood offered is a good thing. Frequently when the housewife re- duces her food expenses she begins by reducing the amount of fresh vege- tables and fruits. She buys lettuce, spinach, oranges, grapefruit less often than she did.. This is almost always a great mistake. Now it is possible in'many ways to cut down the food expenses of almost every family without actually cutting down the food value in any way. It is possible to effect such economies even in the family where there is no waste —or almost no waste—in the ordinary acceptance of the word. And once the housewife starts 10ok- ing out for these ways in which the food bills can be reduced by ingenious little tricks that most people never dream of she learns some new trick of economy almost every day. For instance: At almost every dairy sour milk can be bought for less than tresh milk. And sour milk that has soured in perfectly sealed bottles fs every bit as wholesome for some pur- poses as fresh milk. In your recipe book vou will find ever so many cake and muffin recipes calling for sour milk. “The chief difference is the substitution of baking soda for baking powder.

So when extra baking or food prepa do buy a bottle of sour milk instead of fresh milk and save a few cents in that way. Day-oid bread is sold for less than fresh bread at many of the bake shops and this is not too stale ta use just as it is. You frequently use bread that has been bought the day hefore and think it is no hardship. Some doctors consider day-old bread more whole- some than fresh bread, an And for toast, bread puddings. stuffing, ete.. it is by all means preferable. Broken rice can be bought in pack- at some of the ‘Ber grocery It is quite a little cheaper and bit as wholesome. Broken ers, too, can be bought for less fresh ones, and these should always be used when you are going to make crumbs of them. It is often possible to save quite a little by buying small fruit instead of large. ~ You will frequently find that two small orangas vild much more than the amoun: of juice obtai from one orange of a sort just twice as expensive.
