A wreath of small flowers worked solid can also be embroidered just beyond the circle of eyelets if one wishes a more elaborate pillow. Fin ish the pillow case with a hemstitched hem. on the edge of which fine narrow Valenciennes lace can be whipped. I K T is considered very smart now I J! I to carry a colored handker I I I chief to match your costume. IfLyou are patient and clever, you may be smarter still by embroid ering your handkerchief in a small. Initial or monogram in color. One clever girl solves the monogram or group of three initials by copying her personal monogram from her station ery. She has to enlarge it usually, though in some cases this would no', be necessary. If you cannot draw a good block letter trace some particu larly good looking letters from the caption of an advertisement in a paper or magazine. The beautiful colors of the silkhandkerchief so much in fa vor offer splendid opportunity for em broidering initials in equally as beau tiful colors matching or harmonizing with the kerchief itself.

There is really little danger if the vire frames arc large euou-h for the lamp. Dc not use shades, however, after the paper becomes dry aad charred, as they are then more liable to ignite. Another, important thing in regard to paper shades is to keep them free fioni dust. Not only do they burn sooner vhec dusty, but they are not a credit to odc's housekeeping. The tops should be. changed frequently, as the paper costs but little and it is not much work to make, a new top when the frame is there. all cheerfully, because it is part of an expensive "cure." She could do it all just as well at home, of course, but she never would. So she takes her course of labor because it is the thing to do, she is told, and soon, to her great de light, she finds herself ready for her healthy sleep at night, and generally quite willing to take a nap in- the day time also. REAL necessity to the woman who shampoos her own head is a jacket to protect her from the water that falls on the shoul ders. Quite a practical jacket can be made from a turkish towel or from a straight piece of linen with a hole cut in the middle for the head to slip through. At the sides the jacket can be held together with cords, tapes or ribbon. Beauty can be added to the jacket by embroidering little flowers here and there over the front of same. French kr.cts and lazy-daisy stitches fill in quickly. Chisa blue and old rose are cheerful colors to choose for the stitcl.ep The edge of th? jacket can be finished with a rolled hem, a bii d ing of braid or, if one has the time, a crocheted edge would increase the at t:T.;.t:vcnrss or the garment. A simple coat cculd be made from a piece of stock sheeting. Should you be making the jacket for a gift, you might include with the present a bath mitten. This can be made fra:a turkish towelling also. Or, a better idea would be to use a turkish washcloth Jor the purpose, since it is not necessary to have finger;-, or a thumb in the mitten. All that is necessary is to fold a washcloth in half, stitch it along the long end and one short end and finish the 0'lr with crochet stitches to match that used on the jacket. THE NEW NECK RUFF I HERE is no'.hing which htlps to n.ake the cos.i:u;c more than the important necitwear acces sories, and perhaps the neck rii.Ts aad capes for suits and blonses are the most effective additions. One si;nple style uses the net cape which falls from the top of a rather high collar. This cape is full and the edge may be picoted or hemstitched, plain or embroidered. The high col lar, underneath, which shows plainly through the net, is finished at the front wjjh a tiny bow and long ends of nar row ribbon. , To wear with the suit of taffeta and serge or the all-taffeta gown, one may make a ruff of the taffeta and white mousseline. A neckband of velvet rib bon really holds the two ruffles to gether, and continues in long ends down the front. The. taffeta is cut OO much flesh on the neck is perhaps one of the greatest obstacles to beauty. It is al most as bad in appearance as a scrawny throat and is much more difficult to remedy. It is a far simpler thing to pui on flesh on a woman's throat than to take it off, for if the tissues are fed with a good grease, such as cocoa butter, the neck will ' soOn legin to take on flesh.

F you want to do something why don't you learn to trim hats?" Edith's father said, looking aft her over the even ing paper. "Trim hats," said Edith disdainfully. "Why, I know how to do that already." "All the more reason why you should do it, then," persisted her fa ther. "But, father, there's nothing excit ing about trimming hats. I want to do something to make money; I want to be independent; but trimming bats seems such a mediocre thing to do. Why, -I've done my hats and helped other girls with hats all my life. When I set about doing somethng in earnest, I want it to be something worth while." "Did you ever hear that old saying about doing a thing well?" said her father. "I have," said Edith, smiling. "Learn to do one thing well, and no matter how small it is, the world will make a pathway to your door." Edith repeated it to herself thought fully. "It isn't a bit what I had dream ed of doing," she sighed. "But you know something about it. you have an idea about how to begin. It's for you to experiment and find a way to make the 'work fascinating." "That sounds promising; well, I can try anyway." And Edith resolved to find a way to make her work the thing of beauty that she had always dream ed a career must be. Edith Lanning's father had been wealthy just now he was facing a business crisis. Edith had always had plenty of money. At the school where she had gone for two years she had de veloped a remarkable talent for hats. An old hat in Edith's skillful fingers could be so changed as to give it a dif ferent aspect. She used to do it as a favor for the girls, and her own hats were always models of Frenchiness. The girls used to oh and ah about her . a:.a.'iful knack, and exclaim delight- ciiiv "Oh, Edith, you could easily make money doing hats if you ever had to." The idea that finally came to her was not particularly brilliant, but sh re solved to try it out. She invested a small sum in straw, flowers, ribbons and maline. Then she walked through several hat shops, got some ideas and went home, resolved to try them out. After a hard day's work, she had two hats ready for wear even to the siken linings fastened in their crowns. It had been so exciting making them, but she had refrained from saying a thing to any one in the family. She packed both hats carefully in a hat box and went down to the littLe shop where she had seen them display ed. A rather slim, pretty girl asked Edith what they (jould do for her. "I want to see Madame herself," Edith explained sweetly, and a moment later a stout woman with gray hair came out of the inner room and looked Edith over in a superior manner. Edith took. the ASts out of the box and displayed them proudly. "Of course you recognize these hats," she explained to the astonished woman. "I 1 5 r IS v $f x v :jW If - im - mm til ?? - V - t v- A at the back. It behooves a woman with such a nose to dress her hair rather low. The French twist which I am going to tell you about today is generally be coming to the older woman with a round face. It should not be worn by the young girl. In arranging the hair thus .one : may experience difficulty at first, but a little experience will soon make one an adept in this particular line. The first thing to do is to have the hair waved,, either by means of irons or curlers. Next brush the hair down over the face, the shoulders and the back. Carefully divide the hair at the crown of the head into a strand large enough to make a braid. Pin this braid to the head, so that you will have a foundation on which to work. :;: Divide the hair in front on either side.

If the style is cenr ally becoming but the hair lino is marred by the appearance of stubborn ends, it would be well to curl ihfS0 ends as often as necessary. Or. hctirr still, the use of artificial curls roii.,1 well be made to beautify rurh a 1 ,Vi line. If you appreciate your pit of l r.ir give it proper care, so that it v.iii to rather than detract from your rn eral appearance. The majority o? it cannot afford visits to a hairdresser, but we can keep the hair in a healthy condition at home. A thorough brushing every ncht will do wonders to keep the hair healthy and attractive. If you wear your hair back from the brow, brush it over the brow. If you wear it part ed, brush the hair straight bade of the neck to the forehead. Then brush the hair from ear to ear. This, done carefully, will stimulate the eirnila ton of the blood through the scalp. After the thorough brushing you shouldr massage the scalp well, sup the fingers through the hair to !! scalp; gently move them around an.! around on the scalp until you feci u loosen under the pressure of the finger motion. Go over the entire scalp. N If your hair is oilj; to such an ex tent that you cannot arrange it proper ly, you should use a good tonic which is minus oils. An oily head requires more frequent washings than a dry one. In between shampoos use ilcohol on the hair. Mix with it a little oil of bergamot, if you object to the odor if the alcohol. Dip absorbent cotton no the solutiou and rub it on the hair. The alcohol cuts the grease and the :otton removes it from the hair. Be sure c use plenty of clean cotton during the dry shampoo process. Hair that is unrealthy dry should bo treated to tonics containing oil. I'iain castor oil will be found effective. Ap ply it with a medicine dropper o tin scalp after dividing the hair into strands. Then rub the oil well into the scalp. Do not apply it to the hair. For Nhls, brilliantine can be used. . 0 HAT this is a season of lan orate trimming cannot bo doubted.
