Magpie Black and White in Combination Are Worn for Every Occasion—Milliners and Dressmakers Will Use All-Black 1ge as Medium for Some < of Smartest Dresses and Hats — Use of Pure White. C is without & rival. Magpie combinations of black and white are unusually good. Almost every season such statements might be made truthfully, because, so long as women allow themselves the ivilege of wearing colors, colors will g: important. The colors chosen for each season will seem more important than the colors chosen for any previous season. And always milliners and dress- makers—especially French milliners and dressmakers—will use all-black as the medium for some of - their smartest’ dresses and hats. Can you recall a season when black hasn't been very,..very ? I am sure I cannot. And all-white. Some seasons we hear more about it than others, but the very fact that it is not very practical and that only the woman who can afford to discard her clothes after a few wearings can afford pure white, gives it an air of smartness all its own. And while the way in which the black and white combination is used varies from time to time, there is still usually a renewed interest in this mag- pie combination at least once every 12 months. It is usually made most of with the approach of Spring. This year it seems to be a late Summer and early Autumn development. The smartness of black and white this Summer came partly as a n aga’ st multi-colored, red prints, just as the smartness of plain-toned materials for Autumn will come as a perfectly normal reaction against several seasons of ‘two-toned effects. o be sure, some two-toned tweed—we need them for the sake of variety—but the plain, solid dark blues and browns and greens are going to look very smart, because they have been decidedly in the minority for several years.

Colors Chosen to Set Vogue for Days in Late Summer | White jersey sports dress worn with beret, bejt and bag of black and white polka dot kid and black suede gloves, with’ a camel's hair brush keeps eye- brows in good position. Touching them now and then with peroxide of hydro- gen makes them a shade or two lighter, relieves some of the heaviness. Very light and scant brows give the face a vacant, insipid, expressionless aspect that may even be repellant. Crude petroleuem rubbed well into the hair roots stimulates the growth. Scanty brows and lashes usually result from illness. Cleanliness has much to do with the beauty and healthy growth of eye- brows. Besides removing all soll and | grime, brushing promotes the natural | growth and luster of the brows. Even tonics may be applied. If the hair is dry and lusterless, a little almond or olive oil brushed on not only feeds the hair celis but also imparts a well groomed appearance to your brows. ‘The following will be found an excel- lent formula: Sulphate of quinine, five drops; sweet almond oil, one ounce. Apply a few drops on the brush. About once a week give the eyebrows a special shampoo consisting of a tea- spoonful of well beaten egg, rubbed well into the hair roots. (Copyright, 1930.)

Have a sheet-iron frying pan piping hot, with a little salt sprinkled in it, and left just long enough to brown. Put the corn into the pan, pressing the kernels with a spoon so as to extract the milk. In just a moment it will be- gin to brown in its own juice. Keep stirring, and when well browned add water, a tablespoonful at a time, press- ing with spoon until the corn begins to stick Then add another spoonful until two or two and a half have been added for each ear of corn used. This makes delicious gravy. stirring all the time the corn is , a8 1t scorches easily. Variety in Anything From Most Fantastic Modern Designs to Quaintest Village Scenes May be Found—Dancing Figures Execute In- tricate Steps—Many Fabrics. WHEN you sit down on a sofa or an upholstered * chair these days of gayly patterned fabrics there is no knowing what' you' may be leaning against. Those, Yown cushions that are so0 softly resilient may be covered with anything, from the most fantastic modern designs in the new patented fabrics to the quatntest English village scene depicted on chintz. One person in the room may be comfortably loung- ing against a covered wagon—driver, horses, whip and all—while another sits on a bouquet of the most exotic flowers and leaves. Besides the simple flowers that bloom- ed on upholstery and drapery fabrics a few seasons ago, there now appear dancing figures executing intricate steps, animals doing more tricks than the - trained seal of the circus ever thought of performing, and reprodue- tions of the domestic and hunting scenes from the most charming old English prints. The fabrics seen at the Midsummer homefurnishing markets are as varied as they are interesting and unusual. Every sort of weave—from the most sophisticated brocades and damasks to the simplest humen{:unA—\s seen, and the colors include all the old ones and many that are new. The upholstery material, the drapery fabrics and the curtains and slip covers are no longer just something adequate and well wear- ing. They are, both in color and de- sign, among the most decorative and distinctive ,el'.ures of the room. ‘The Summer furniture is no longer covered with a gaudily figured cretonne. Waterproof and sunfast fabrics, in colors and designs to suit the style of the furniture and the material from which it is made—reed, rattan, fiber, metal—have- been created. Clean-cut patterns in concave and convex and refreshing contrasts in color have re- placed the startlingly sharp angles of a few seasons ago. A popular variation of the usunl method of upholstering ali the pieces in the suite of porch furniture in one material and one pattern, is that of having the cushions in the backs of chairs and sofas of a figured material while those used in the seats are plain —usually the background color of the fgured plece. Vivid stripes in the varied patented materials for Summer furni- ture are also new market showings. Broken, stripes, checks and broken plaids in rough texture fabrics are among the desirable designs for the pro- vincial, peasant or early American in- teriors. The comfortable look and feel and the substantial wearing qualities of these materials recommend them to the thrifty homemaker. Hand-blocked linens and stenciled canvas, weather- proof, are popular for both indoor and outdoor furniture. ‘The displaying of drapery material and glass curtain cloth in colors and designs to match the upholstery fabries is an innovation which will please many | women who have shopped hither and | yon in an effort to find drapes to mateh Slip covers or slip covers to match drapery material. Chintz, linens and smart-looking cre~ tonnes continue to be popular fabrics Black and white printed crepe, with a large black straw hat, trimmed with ribbon, white crystal necklace and white fox scarf.

On each side of each ball press half & walnut meat— and let them dry for a few hours. Then eat. *d Orange Baskets.

Pulse of Style Is at Wrist Colored, Glittering and| Beautiful Bracelets Produced This Sea- son—Combination of Onyx and Pearls Are Popular — Newest Fads. ][F_you don't feel the pulse of style on your wrists this Summer, you aren’t the smartest girl in the worid. "The hands are it now and you must dress them up. Lead up to them with fine gloves or with fancy cuffs if you will. “But con't forget that there's noth- ing in the world like a fine bracelet to attract the eye! White pique sports dress with black velvet beret, black and white checked scarf and bels b with black, Colored bracelets, great gobs of glitter and beauty, make the season’s wrist at- tire varied and lovely. Pearls, crystals, small beads of all kinds woven into big shapes, garnet, rhinestone, jade, and, above all, corals; these make some of the Summer’s smartest bracelets. The bigger the bracelet, the smarter for daytime and sports wear. Evening still clings to smaller and finer brace- lets, lovely stones set flat rather than protruding the way the daytime trinkets dgi ’They Jjust rise up to proclaim their chic One of the most interesting bracelets on the market is the one which uses coral in the usual cut, massed together in balls and joined with intervening | smooth balls of composition the same shade and tone as coral attractively combined. One of these new bracelets, | with a neckline of the same tone, and | you dress up a white frock considerably. The black-white mode is displayed in the combination of onyx and pearls. | Pearls may be large or they may be small and many of them used in one cluster, like a bunch of grapes, with onyx emphasizing their white beauty in between. Blouse bracelets are this season's gift to. women. -~ They usually come in col- ored crystal, cut in oblong size, strung on elastic so that you can slip them over the head. Some of the newer ones combine colors, one section the color of your blouse, the other of your suit, still others ng somber tones for the whole effect. For the afternoon chiffon frock, there are charming gadgets that look much like bracelets wearing jabots. They are made of multudinous small beads, worked together to make a circlet for the wrist and swinging bangles. For the sophisticate, dainty galaith and crystal bracelets, set in solid silver, give a very decorative and a restrained touch to the wrist. These usually have a rather compli- cated design. Some are made with links of this or that shape, and have spangles swinging from them. The solid-color bracelets, made of so- called jade, with ring to match, is the last word in sports jewelry right now. It also comes in so-called coral and other stones, and if you can wear rather bi- zarre things well, by all means give these the once over. Among the newest fads in bracelets, the medallion bracelet, made of a num- ber of mosaics, set in gold, is one of the richest. There is no denying the beauty of mosaics. Gather enough of one kind to make a bracelet and you have a knockout. If you could go farther and have matching medallions for earrings, then you have success on your person. You will find that most of last year's bracelets give you away. Of course, an= tiques are always good. So are real gems. But for daytime and sports wear and many evening occasions, do have & look at the latest things in stock. They’ll surprise you and delight you. Ofi-Black. The-off+black tones bear the same re- latien to.black that the palest of pale pastels do to white. Undoubtedly we | shall hear and see much more of them. There is the very dark blue that one mistakes at first for black, as well as very dark tones of brown, wine and green. ‘These dark colors undoubtedly will be decidedly smart and are hardly likely to be spoiled by overpopulari ity. Blackberries. There are some people who do not like to eat blackberries raw on account of their .somewhat insipid flavor. To these people the addition of a little lemon juice and a little grated lemon rind usually appeals. Another way to give piquancy to the flavor of black- berries 1s to add a little chopped tart apples, in the proportions of one part of chopped apples to two parts of black- berries.

L are among the accessories of every-day life that are not likely to go out of fashion or use. It would be awkward and unnecessary to have an opening to the incinerator in every room to use instead of a waste paper basket and fust as silly to have & laundry chute in every room for the disposal of soiled clothes. And while a central laundry chute from the bed room floor to the laundry may save a few steps on Monday morning, most houses are built without one. The modern laundry bag or basket, simple though its purpose, is chosen with care. Baskets are made of light wood or papier mache, finished with enamel paint, rather than of reeds, which are more difficuit to keep clean. They are fitted with 2 cover and are provided with perforations for ventila- tion. Laundry bags are made of ma- terial that may be washed, and while they should harmonize with their sur- roundings they should never be elaborate or fussy. Some of the new laundry bags are made with a wooden coat hanger at the top. The bag is made of cretonne or other heavy cotton material shaped over the hanger with the hook exposed. The bag is a yard or so in length with the lower part arranged so that it may be unfastened to let out the clothes and snapped together again when in every day use. Clothes are inserted through a lengthwise slit in one side of the bag, 10 or 12 inches in length. A bag of this sort may be made of glazed chintz to match the dress hangers and closet shelf covers. In addition to the bag to be tsed from day to duy, girls in school or college dormitories often find it con- venient to have another sort of laundry bag made from the heaviest sort of unbleached muslin. Merely a sack with draw strings of tape in the top. This bag, which is plainly marked with the owner's name and address, is used to send the clothes to the laundry and is usually washed and returned with the clean clothes, (Copyright, —_— BY BETSY CALLISTER. AUNDRY bags and laundry bas- kets, like waste paper baskets, 1930.) Traveler Should Make Clothes List One of the most difficult things for many travelers is to get all their clothes er each e they leave one stop- ping place and start on to the next. If they are traveling abroad they leave, for instance, a pair of rubbers in Lon- don, a dressing gown at Canterbury, & pair of gloves at Paris, and a tooth- brush and rouge pot at Interlaken. If they are making & round of week end and house party visits in this country they leave a negligee at a seaside cot- tage, a tweed coat at a mountain lodge, a tennis sweater at a friend’s country house and a hat at a Summer hotel. It is asking too much of nature that these people should remember all.their possessions whenever they move from place to place. And why need they remember? Why not plan a check-up system, so that they will not have to reply on their memories? This is the way to work a check system for your clothes. In'a little note- book, or on a card that fits into your handbag, Hst your clothes in groups— coats, tweed sport coat, white evening cape; suits, blue serge; shoes, silver slippers, white canvas, tan ties, black patent leather, brown suede—placing each object on a separate line. Then when you are packing, just check off inch wide and bake light brown, bon. In the center is shown a white black grosgrain ribbon.
