A simple painted metal single bed is desirable for a young girl. A slipon cover of unbleach- ed muslin is excellent for keeping the mattress clean. Sleeping without a pil- low s often recommended, but the bed needs at least one pillow to make it look complete, and this, like the mat~ tress, should be protected by a thin close-fitting washable cover between the ticking and the pillow case. The sheets, blankets and comfortables ghould be chosen with care. DRESSING TABLE An improvised dressing tabie can be made by hanging a mirror over a small table. This is to be preferred to dr ing ‘tables with flounces of cretonne that collect dust. A bureau or chest of drawers is 'needed for storing cloth- ing and personal belongings. Bureau and table covers should be as simple as possible and always fresh and clean. If there is room for only one chair it should be a comfortable one. DESTROY ONION ODOR At an elaborate family dinner hostess served a course which had to be explained. It came immediately af- ter an onion nobody refused it. Accompanying it was a bread and butter plate holding a few crisp sprigs of parsley and a dip filled with fine salt. The parsley, which proved agreeable to the | taste after dipping in salt made an in- stant destroyer to onion odors in the breath.

For winter wear lovely shaggy knit- ted things are the rage ‘and in the spring lineup color is the big notel Among the smartest of the southern resort sports models may be mention- ed those featuring a one-piece frock of white silk crepe over which is worn a sleeveless jumper of bright colored duvetyn, such as flame, scarlet or Hunters' green. Silk fringe appears as a trimming on many of the sports suits and capes. Corduroy is to play a part-in spring sports apparel, some coat and skirt suits of white corduroy being excep- tionally smart. BOUDOIR GARMENT A pretty pajama boudoir garment recently seen combined yellow and blue cotton crepe, the pajamas being made of the blue with yellow cuffs and the Jjacket of yellow. The foundation gar- ment, as a matter of fact, combined pajamas and short-sleeved iwaist, the Jjacket of the yellow fabric being mere- ly two wide panels shaped to fit around the armholes and seamed on the shoulders. Touches of embroidery in black wool finished the jacket. LAUNDRY HINTS If the lace curtains are quite bad- ly soiled put a handful of salt in the water in which you soak them and the dirt can be removed easily. Perspiration stains may be remov- ed by tubbing the stained material in an equal solution of ammonia and wa- ter.
