BEFORE you think I'm re peating myself on the pow der puff idea illustrated above, let me hasten to tell you that it is a rouge puff, the com panion piece to the one for powder which was discussed in this column a short time ago. At the time the previous ar ticle was written the rouge puff had not been placed on the market . . . therefore we knew nothing about it. A few days after the article appeared the manufacturer sent me one of the new, double compacts- and stated that it would be available within u few weeks for the public. The time has passed now, so I want to tell you about both of them. / I’m particularly fond of this type of compact, because it is so thin and light, fitting into any purse or pocket without making unsightly bulges. Unlike other types of compacts made of metal, these are fash* ioned of fabric, either silk, satin, metal cloth or a specially treated ‘ material which resembles rubber. You can see the compact as it Is shown open, complete, in the Illustration above. The top part of the compact folds down to make a small, neat square pack age. The mirror is secured in the flap part of the compact and, incidentally, there is ample rodni in back of the mirror to slip a lit Tlii* .Show* the Combination House and Powder Puff with the Small Mirror Inserted in the Flap of This t Compact, Flat Accessory. tie money hi case you always like to carry it, even when you think you won’t need it. Our previous discussion of-this compact showed only a place for the powder puff. Today you see the two puffs; the back, larger one for powder^nd the front, smaller one for rouge. A trans parent sheet of mica, commonly called isinglass, separates the rouge from the powder puff so that the back of the powder puff does not become stained by the rouge sifting through the face of the puff. Both puffs are exactly alike, except that the one for rouge is a little smaller than the one for powder. Therefore, in describ ing one puff you will know that the other is like it. Beside* the advantage of a light-weight, thin, compact con tainer for cosmetics; these puffs permit one to carry, in conven ient form, the particular powder and rouge that is favored on ones dressing table. What One Girl Wore— By Betty Brotcnive Dressing i» * problem at this time of the year. The calendar says Spring, but there is stiU apt to be so much chill in the air that even with a light wrap one is not always com fortable in a silk frock. For this in-between time be fore the weather definitely makes up its mind to be settled, there is nothing more practical than the frock fashioned of iightwe;ght wool. It can be worn now undei your spring coat and later serves well as a street costume minus' a wrap. Or if you preier, why not in vest in one of the new tailored suits cut on such slim lines that they slip right under your coat' without showing even a wrinkle. Many of this seasons new cos tumes—frocks, coats and suits— are cut on the “wooden soldier'’ silhouette. This is in keeping with the military spirit of the Washington bicentennial celebra tion. Almost anyone whose figure is not too full can wear this new fashion well. Capes are very popular and we find shoulder length capes on coats and suits, and tiny separate capes accompanying many of the new street frocks. Today’s illustration shows one of the many models for street wear that comes with an elbow length cape. This frock of sheer navy blue wool can be worn now under your spring coat minus its jaunty cape. Later it will serve you well as a street costume, it features bow trimmings in green and white suede und a green An attractive Frock for Spring of Sheer Wool in Navy Blue Feat ure* an Elbow-Length Cape That Slip* On Over the Head.

Note that the short fluttery cape slips on over the head. In the illustration above i our model is filling the rouge puff from a small vial con taining powdered rouge. This rouge can be ordered, in your shade .,. I'll tell you how later. First 1 want to explain again the mechanics of the puff itself. The puff is round, of course, and one side is faced with down like that used in fashioning any • powder puff. The other side of the puff, however, is faced with . silk so that only one side is us able for applying powder or rouge. Turned down over the silk, unusable side of the puff, is a small flap which is tucked under a narrow band of material rpn-. ning across the puff. When this flap is lifted one finds a small open place at the top where the two edges of the front and back section of the puff meet but have not been sewn together, it is through this slit that rouge or powder enter the inside of the puff. The usable side of the puff has a few very small perforations so that, when patted against the skin, the powder or rougi sifts through. When the puff has been filled, .tlie flap is turned doWn again and secured under the little band of material ‘running across the back of the puff so that it re mains secure, thus preventing the powder from spilling out The f Y When Adjusted in the Manner Shown Above, These New Clips l.ie Absolutely Flat Against the Head, Holding the Coiffure Securely in Place While Sleeping. powder will not sift out of the puff without patting so that the compact does not become un sightly within a short time. To use your own rouge in these puffs,, simply run a knife lightly over the top of your dry rouge until enough has been loosened to fill the puff. Inci dentally, the puffs should not be filled to the brim! An amount equal to a quarter of a teaspoon ful will last a surprisingly long time for touching up one’s com plexion away from home. Of course, only dry rouge can be used in these compacts but few of us ever attempt touching up our makeup with paste or liquid rouge when away from our dressing table. I think most of us who favor the paste form of rouge, carry a compact of the same shade in powder form in our purse. Besides the variety of material, so that one suitable for every costume may be had, a variety of colors are available, ranging from brilliant hues for sports, gold, silver and pastel shades in met4 cloth for evening and blacks for tailored wear. And, they aren’t expensive! And now let’s talk about the Household Question Box By Mrs. Mary D. Wilson TYEA.ll .Vila.

Low priced plaster casts often arc entirely unfinished or, at most, have merely been dipped In a species of kalsomine which soils readily and will not withstand washing. Casts of this descrip tion can be given a permanent finish by the following method wipe the cast gently but quickly with a cloth wrung out of cold, soapy water (too much water will tend to dissolve the surface of the plaster, thus destroying the sharp ness of its contours, and vigorous rubbing may cause it to crumble). When thoroughly dry. give it a thin coat of white shellac. Fol low this, in turn, vrith two suc cessive thin coats of old ivory enamel in a semi-glbss finish, ap plied twenty-four hours apart. Lightly smooth the first coat with the finest grade of sandpaper, when dry. to remove brush marks. This type of finish can safely be washed with luke-warm water and a little whiting, or with suds of mild white soap. Dear mrs. wilson: My baby's white flannel coat has a collar and cuffs of white fur. They are detachable and l would appreciate your ad vising me how I should go about cleaning them before putting the coat away. Thank you. MRB. E. C.

A Smart Boutonniere Combination By Winifred Avery I TOLD you last week how you can make a red, white and blue scarf by a twist of the wrist, and here is a nose-gay made by another twist. This can be made from such small pieces— and that is a great help I Each flower is made of two square pieces. One is 2U inches and the other is 2 inches. Fold the squares as in Fig.. 2 and cut (as Pve shown) down about lA inch. Each square is made double, seamed up all around the edge, and when sewed is turned through a slit yob have made in the back as in Fig. 8. The flower sec tions are pressed—but not very flat with a damp cloth—.just smooth them out without com pletely flattening them. The cen ters can be of a piece of felt. The Sketches Above and at Right Show Hon the Flowers for the Boutonniere Are Layed Out, Folded and Cut. A Bright Tri-Color for Hat and Lapel or a button. I used a bright sit* ver Ball button for mine. The slit in the back can be covered by glueing a piece of felt over it I’d suggest using rubber ce ment Let me take a minute to say something about this glue. Your paint dealer can tell you about something that he will have like this. It is not expensive, and will glue fabrics without making a smudge—I even stop a run in hose with it. It will glue any thing else, too. The stem is a piece of wire fas tened to the flower with yam which is wound down the wire as I’ve shown in the drawing. I think three flowers are enough for the group—red, white and blue. You do not have to use these colors. The flower is nice in other combinations. I’ve shown how I used these little tailored flowers in a color scheme to match a Spring outfit— even to add zest to the otherwise plain little hat.
