The arrangement of this pointed curl
In front needs some little skill, but any

adopting this style.
For the evening II is only exceptional
that the hair is dressed low In England

future. and many OF the smart women
who herald the modes have been wear

In country houses people dress the

Souvenir Books.


Home from the summer holiday. many
the accumulated treasures OF vacation
time. These take the form OF amateur
photographs. pressed flowers, ferns and
seaweed, with shells, butterflies and per-
haps bits of quartz or curiously colored
stone. Members or ones family who
have no taste for curios are in the habit
of referring very dsrespectfully to these
treasures as rubbish, which is certainly
what they look like when dumped out
upon the floor from the excursionist' s
trunk. But there'is no reason why these
may not be converted into dainty orna :
ments for the sitting room. thereby re-
calling the pleasant days spent at the
seashore- or in the mountains.
For the unmounted amateur photo

WASHABLE RUGS

Mothers very often sigh for some

with its pleasant voluntary tolls.
The materials needed are Knitting cot
ton and two knitting needles The cot
ton is to be cut into uniform lengths OF
about three inches. To cut il an ex-
ceilent plan Is to wind the cotton upon
round ruler. then with a sharp pair OF
scissors to cut the thread along the
whole length of the ruler.
To begin the knitting. an uneven
number OF stitches Is cast on and four
or five rows knitted plainly: then on tho
second stitch of the row to be fringed
one of the lengths OF cut cotton is knit
ted in. The length is simply doubled.
and, being placed end TO end, the loon
so formed I'm the center is taken along
with the stitch in knitting
All the even stitches take a piece OF
cotton fringe on this row. The next
row Is knitted plainly; then comes an
other fringed row. Thus the rows con-
tinue. one fringed. one plain. until the
strip Is long enough. If this strip A.

may be I'm red cotton. the colors alter

To vary the patterns in different russ
the white strips may be knitted wide
and the red ones narrow and vice

cotton lengths may be knitted red and
