WOMAN’S PAGE. Scarf Attached With Buttons BY MARY ERE is a new way to arrange a scarf, and it is such a simple trick’ that we wonder why no one ever thought of it before It has appeared on a number of new dresses and is likely to appear on a good many mere before many weeks have passed. But it is not neces- sarv for you to buy a dress with this scarf arrangement when it is such a #imple thing to 2dd a scarf in this way to a dress that you already possess and that stands in need of a new touch of timming. The scarf dces not have to become a permanent part of the dress either, be- cause it is attached merely by means of buttonholes in the scart and buttons on the dress. You will need a piece of silk about a yard and a half long and nine inches wide to make the scarf, but you may NANCY PAGE Winter Bedding Blankets and BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Includes heets.

Nancy liked to put a bottom sheet on the bed, tucking it under at top and ‘bottom for full 6 inches. Then over this she put the blankets. To protect the top of the blanket which came close to the sleeper, she usually spread a sheet over the blanket. Many women are d-ing this lately. They have used blanket protcctor strips and liked them, but the sheet is often preferable. ‘It shows white through a semi-transparent spreed. Of course, the sheet must be the full Jength, 108 inches.

She is probebly & very sympathetic person to whom her friends come to pour out their troubles. They would feel sure that she would not be bored, but would give them any possible aid. Apparently this is the writing of a careful person. She would never take risks, but would prefer the safe, sure course. lanned and varies little from one year o the next. Though this would worry some people, she would prefer this repe- tition tc making a change. Likewise, it would be difficult for her to change fixed ideas or opinions. Once convinced of the right or wrong of a matter, no amount of evidence would sway her. For this reason she probably follows lines of behavior learned when a child. Though the world and its customs may be different, she seemingly prefers the old_order. She would be particularly adapted for work where an exact system must be followed. In handling money she could be trusted without fear of making mis- takes. Account keeping, with its mult tudinous small detafls, would be faith- fully performed by her. She should force herse'f to try to make new contacts. Though she may have traveled, she probably always vis: ited the'same places. New scenes would afford a stimulation.

The girls tell me that courteous treatment from a cus- tomer means more | to them than | sale. Not that a girl is willing to stand all day long and not sell any- thing, or that she has any particular delight in pulling down mountains of | | goods to show and [then have you walk away without buying. She would lose her job pretty quickly if that happened often enough. A girl's resentment toward the women who are rude to her is greater than | that tc the woman who doesn't buy. ' It seems silly to say to you that you, ought not to be rude to salespeople. But it seems to me that most women show their worst aspects when they're shopping. . In a lovely shop in Los Angeles the saleswoman told me that wmong her | customers were several movie stars who | dress up elaborately in the films and | at parties. To purchase these elabo- | rate clothes they come to the stose in | the morning wearing a soiled sweater | and skirt. Their hair is not combed and their faces not only have no make- up, but are hardly washed. This seems fantastic and impossible, but I have seen some of them. A girl in another store told me that, for her, all customers fall into two classes when they buy dresses—those who wiggle about before a mirror and those who strut about. And she says that she is terribly weary of both wig- gling and strutting. True, this girl is | conceited and resents bitterly having | to sell to other women. She wants to wear them—not sell them. ‘There is one excuse for women who aren’'t so agreeable as they might be when they're buying clothes.
