The entire silhouette of the old overblouse may be changed by this simple trick.

There is always lemon juice, cheapest and in many ways best of the bleaches for cuticle| and finger nails. The simplest way of this is to squeeze the juice of a lemon into some tiny bottle and keep it corked in the bathroom. Dip the orangewood stick into it, rub the; Suice around the edge of each nall as well as underneath. Go round the edges of each nail then with a cuticle knife, clean under them and scrub the lemon anm off with soap and water.

The overblouse was gray, the skirt i navy blue, and the ribbon gray with vy blue dots. One very attractive semi-sports frock worn at Palm Beach s a sleeveless crepe de chine over- slouse of eggshell tint, a slightly flar- | ing pleated skirt and a wide hip sash of brilliant Roman-striped ribbon pulled out over the right side and knotted at the left side with ends extending half way down the skirt. The same trick characterizes a new frock I have just seen made of navy blue georgette.” The bodice and sleeves aré quite plain—the skirt has five tiers of finely pleated georgette—there is a little bunch of bright red cherrics at the left shoulder and a hip sash of georgette attached to the lower part of the bodice is tied in a bow a little to the front of the left hip. I cannot tell you how charming the dress is! Always dear to the heart of the | French woman, the beret appears again for Spring. For this week's little help we have secured a diagram pat- torn for making & silk beret following the model of a new French importa- tion. It may be made of taffeta or satin and cut to fit any size head. If vou would like a copy of this pattern with directions for making and a sketch of the hat from which it was taken, just send me a stamped, self-addressed | envelope and I will send it to you at once.

But if this is used, it should be kept in a tiny, bottle of a special kind, so it will not be used for any other purpose, nor by any mischance taken internally, as it| is poisonous. On the whole, I'd advise sticking to| lemon or ammonia, or the harmless bleaches sold among the manicure articles in the drug stores. No bleach is better than lemon juice, in my opin- jon, which always considers the eco- nomical side of these matters, to war- rant the difference in price between that of one lemon and one small bottle of bleach. I'd rather put the money I spend on beauty preparations into face powders or some of the things that can't be made at home—or into something that was mnot a beauty preparation! Beauty treatments should not take too much of one’s personal spending money. Use pumice stone for can be used the same way, but| with cold cream afterwards, as this is callous yellow stained skin.

Here, taking off my clothes, I threw mysel? into the current. The sole witness of my fate was a solitary crow that had been led into eating brandy-saturated corn, and so had staggered away from his fellows. The bird took it into his head to fly away with the most indispensable por- tion of my apparel.

Why Wives Need Close Woman ot Friends. i DorothyDix| Husband Seldom Chums With Her, and Society of Own Sex Acts Both as Balance Wheel and Safety Valve to Her Emotions. ECENTLY in this column I spoke of the desirability of a woman cultivating the good will of her sex, and making woman friends. A man takes exception to this and writes me that he considers it is highly dangerous for any wite to have a woman friend because she is likely to tell her too much, and that a woman's only friend after she gets married should be her husband. T heartily agree with my correspondent that a wife's best friend should be her husband. but that is almost like saying that we should all be healthy and happy and prosperous, and have a good dinner to sit down to every night, and a good car to ride in. Fine and dandy, if it were only that way with us. But, alas and alack, it isn't. The number of women who can truly say “Friend Husband” is infinitesimally small. I know thousands of married women whose husbands range all the way from superlatively good to abnormally mean, but in that number I do not know 20 who are friends to their wives. I know plenty of men who, I am sure, adore their wives. Plenty of men who are faithful to them. Plenty of men who are kind and tender. Plenty of men who are lavishly generous to their wives. Plenty of men who endure with the patience of martyrs the nagging of peevish, freiful wives, Plenty of men who nurse sick, neurotic wives and pay their doctors’ bills without A murmur of x(‘(!mplnml Plenty of men who work themselves to death for extravagant wives. I know plenty of men who give their wives everything else in the world except friendship. For friendship is different from love. It is different from duty. A man may have a flerce, devouring passion for a woman, she may make an irresistible physical appeal to him without their having one thought or taste in common. Perhaps that is why those who marry for love so often quarrel so bitterly. But the very essence of triendship is congeniality and peace and harmony. We pick for friends who think as we think, and who like the same things that e get along with our friends .bcmus_e we are tuned to the same key. NOR is there any duty in friendship. We do our duty by our husbands and wives because we have taken an obligation upon ourselves that we feel in honor bound to fulfill, but what we give to our friends is a free-will offering. We seck their companionship because they entertain and amuse us, and because we are never dull or bored in their company. We talk to them endlessly because we have the same interests. We like to be ‘with them because their presence just somehow satisfles us and gives an added zest to everything we do. That Is friendship. That is the sort of human companionship we need and crave, but how few women get it from their husbands! Perhaps their husbands have a deeper feeling for their wives than this, but many a man who would risk his life to save his wife from drowning won't spend an evening trying to entertain her, and his idea of having a good time doesn't consist in taking her along with him. So if wives had to depend on their husbands for the sort of friendship that means chumminess and talk and a common interest in things, they would be in a bad way. They would simply be sunk, for husbands are seldom friends. Undoubtedly, very often a woman does confide too much in a woman friend and tell her things that she should have bitten her tongue off rather than have let them pass her lps. But even so, often. when this happens, the friend has been the escape-valve that has prevented the blowing up of the whole domestic works. Women can ecase themselves of almost any pain and solace themselves for almost any wrong by talk. The woman who has an intimate friend to whom she can go with her trials and tribulations, and on whose breast she can weep out her sorrow and disappointments, goes away cheered and comforted. Perhaps things did not seem so very bad when she presented them as facts. Perhaps her friend laughed away her fears and poked her finger through her bogy marn. Perhaps her friend pointed out her folly, or gave her & brace that strengthened her ccurage and restored her morale. Anyway, just laying her burden for a time on another's shoulders helps her to bear it more gallantly when she takes it on her own back again. 1t is the silent, brooding women who lock their sorrows in their own hearts, who have no woman friends and no confidantes, who go crazy, or who rise up in the night and kill the husbands against whom they have a real or a fancled grievance, not the women who have the solace of an understanding and svmpathetic woman friend. o s e 'URTHERMORE, for a woman not to have woman friends dooms her to a very dull life, because in this country, where we have no leisure class of men, most of the festivities are feminine affairs. Every community has its woman's clubs. its woman's luncheons, its little coteries of women who play bridy together, who go to the matinees together, who foregather at the country club, and who have a gay and amusing time together, But no woman can break into this charmed circle alone. She must have a friend to sponsor her, and no woman gets in who is not friendly with other women, and is not liked by them. And lastly but not least, a woman needs woman friends because no matter how much a woman loves her husband, or how mueh he loves her, each has a thousand vital Interests in which the other does not share, each has a thousand tastes that the other does not possess, simply because of sex. Men want to do man thinge, and women want to do woman things: men want to talk man talk and women want to talk woman talk, and they both pine for the soclety of their own sexes. Watch people on shipboard, or in any place where they can follow their natura! Instincts, and all of the married people, except the flirtatious ones, are separated into male and female groups: the men are talking business and stocks and bonds and the women are talking clothes and bables. Every natural weman enjoys nothing more than prowling through a depart- ment store with a woman friend, pricing things she never means to buy, and lunching on lobster salad and ice cream and hot chocolate, but you can't imagine Friend H?usbnnd having the time of his life as her companion on such an orgy, can you Therefore, I still contend that every woman needs woman friends and that they are not inimical to her husband’s interests. On the contrary, they save his life. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1928.) The Daily Cross-Word Pu_zzle (Copyright, 1028.) 1 Grotesque carvings. Conjunction. iefore, . Liquor, 12. Part of Africe.
