o ROOMS DECORATED IN BLACK New Idea Comes From Vienna and Reflection Will Show It Has Much to Recommend It. Behold black now as the fashionable color of the interior decorator. The liking for it arose in Vienna, where interior decorating is an art much R thought of. There some of the new houses, or rooms which have been re- decorated, show wall papers with black f. backgrounds, in which’ huge, bright rs, alterations, etc.— your money in lasting vork by bullding with | CEMENT - onstruction means cut- pirs, upkeep expense, bvou best appearing job flowers are printed. Carpets, too, are of black. 'The idea of this method of | decorating is, apparently, to make the room strictly a background for the furniture and persons in it. The brightly flowered paper, of couse, de- tracts from this effect, but the sort of paper more often used does not have the bright flowers. It shows a black ground, with a gray or misty white figure. In a room thus grounded pictures really costs the leastframed in black are hung.

White enameled farniture is looked on with favor for use in black rooms. - Surely such a,setting would give the persons in it chance to shine forth in all the glory of color lent them by skin and eyes, hair and clothes. On the other hand, wouldn't a room so furnished cast a depress- ing spell on the woman who found herself shut within its four walls for many hours in a day? There is an outgrowth of this craze for black which is interesting, espe- clally to those who live in apartments or other crowded quarters, where the kitchen as well as the other rooms of the house comes ®under occasional in- gpection of guests. This is the black enamaled jar-or box for cakes, bread and grocery supplies of various sorts. it, is painted brilliantly with big red roses, and makes an interesting note of color.

What can she do to bring back the gold? the blonde asks in despair. In nine cases out of ten she is tempted to turn to the, peroxide bottle, but if she is a wise! girl she knows danger lies that way. | Peroxide dries ths scalp dangerously, makes the hair brittle and easily broken, -and besides imparts an un- natural yellow to the hair which de- ceives no one. If your hair is drab and dull-looking instead of gleaming with gold do not immediately begin | to doctor it up by applying various | lotions, but first look to the cause of this lifeless ‘condition. Have you | fallen into the bad habit of washing | your hair at night and going to bed with it half dry? Or perhaps you take a rainy day, when there isn't { anything else to do, to give your {tresses a thorough cleaning. Of | course you think that heat from a radiator or stove or vigorous fanning is enough to dry the hair. It is not. Your hair needs sun if it is going to keep its gold, and a sun bath you must give it as often as you can. Let. your, hair down your back and sit in the sun for an hour or two, let- ting the golden rays impart a bit of their brilliancy of your hair. Blonde hair must be washed more frequently than dark, and the selection of a shampoo and the manner of washing have much to do with preserving its color. A few drops of ammonia or a dash of soda added to your basin of water will brighten the hair, but they are both drying agents, and unless the hair is naturally very oily will finally injure the hair and spoil ite gloss.

CACHET FOR THE PETTICOAT Band of Ribbon at the Knees Adds to Effect of Costume—Also May Be Worn Around Bl:ll'. The question of petticoate is & most important one just now, for with the narrow skirts and the lacy underslips required by fashion, one wonders how a girl is to acquire even that semi- clothed look that is rather expected of her, for her colored stockings will show at the knees if she wears a lace petticoat, and there is no room for her skirts—however, a band of ribbon about six or seven inches wide can be run on flat at the knees and will great- 1y add to the effect of her costume. An- other wide ribbon may be worn straight around the bust under the arms and will bring out the lace bras- slere on top of her princess slip, and in the uncorseted days, if the ribbon be boned elightly at front and back, may really be worn with a well-made Jace brasslere instead of a corset, if ! pne 3 of the ultra slim figure that is now 1 regle.

Casting about for some new way to entertain a hostess noted for her orig- me Her invitations said: “Please cor [ in a costume representing your P | fession or what you would like to be’ | It i3 needless to say that when thewd twenty guests arrived upon the stated { hour (half after eight) there werqf many exclamations of surprise and tonishment. Some of the costumesfy were most amusing; the camera fiendfd was in a black paper cambric suit, on which were pasted snap shots, bluel] prints and spoiled prints (that would E have been the best of all) he wore aff minjature camera for a watch charmj and carried a real camera with him, with which he took flashlights of they party, afterwards generously supply« ing each one with prints as remems drances of a very happy evening. MV man who loved “astronomy” appear ed with a small telescope and smr!.‘ comets, a moon and the sun painted on a black domino. A suffragettel came resplendent in their colors withi “votes for women" inscribed all over her gown and she carried a placard!’ with “votes for women” on it. The hostess had found symbolie favors for nearly every one by whichl’ they found their places at the table for each one in their acceptance desige | nated what they would represent. Around the table each one was aske ed to explain the merits of his or her | profession and I wish space would pere mit the witty talk and repartee. Try this sometime, the plan may be adapted to quite large affairs. Ine formal dancing might follow the “spread.” Idea for the Up-to-Date Hostess. A hostess who entertains a greaf deal has small cards made with stas tionery die used at the top or at the | left hand corner. This monogram s’ done in gold, silver, red, blue, pink | and violet so she is able to matoh: nearly any color scheme she wishes! to carry out in flowers on her table, | These cards are used as name cardsj at each place and if cards are to bej played after dinner or luncheon, thej table number and “couple” are written§ on the back of card. Some times ! flower is thrust through one carnerf of the card, a punch being used w make the holes for stem. These in- dividual cards are also most useful, to use in sending gifts when one wishes to write an appropriate sentls ment and are a little more individual | than a visiting card. Try ordering | some with your next stationery an@ you will be ready with place cards | for all occasions of the most exclusive | style. [ Lingerie Shower. A dear little girl bride who had | such a happy preparation time for the | great event; says one of her lovliest | showers was the one at which all the gitts were bits of lingerie made m her dearest friends. i There were all the intimate bits of personal linen, the girls dividing the work and the expense; there were . dainty ribbons run in all the pleces and in the rose papered box contaime ing the set were one dozen square lingerie sachets, edged | face, & wee gilt safety pin in each for pinning inside the corsage. They i embroidered in the same forget-me-nod. pattern as the underclothes. These friends began their work as soon a8 the engagement was made public. A} boudoir cap and pillow were also sented at the same time, of sl design and made over pink, the b elect’s favorite color.
