The Home 1nstinc. in College Girla.


The home-making instinct is delight
fully evident in the social life of col
leges for girls, writes Jeanette A.
Marks in Good Housekeeping. All the
little Sunday evening suppers in their
own rooms from which ,Aey rise say
ing: well, hasn't this been quiet and
homelike!" and all the attempts to
make home out of one or two rooms,
are evidences Of this instinct. So.
ciety houses or society rooms are SIM
ply larger efforts to make larger homes.
AS in the case with any home, these
houses which the members of So
cieyt build and carry on afford whole
some problem; the economical making
of an attractive place which shall be
comfortably furnished and arranged.
College girls frequently have means
but seldom wealth. There is necessity
for economy, and these unfledged
home-makers learn to spend money
wisely. They do not give five dollars
for a two-inch bronze pug dog and
ninety-five cents for flimsy, spindle
legged chair intended for gliding. They
discover that durability as well as ex-
penditure is a part of economy.
1t is we'll that these homes are not
controlled by the tastes of two or three
members, but by the entire society. The
advantages of such republic are
many; no bad taste, no eccentricity, no
extravaganza of furnishing can pre-
dominate, and at least happy me-
dium" of good taste is the result. Re-
sponsibility for such house, whether
it be in the process of evolution or
complete, has direct educational
value. The student quickly discovers
that she has the latchkey to a house
which is Old Dutch, or Renaissance
Italian, or Elizabethan, or colonial in
architecture And she soon learns,to
not only the characteristics of the ar.
chitecture, but also of the furniture
and general arrangel..ents.

Smart Outing Modes.

Outing gowns are such prominent
bart of the feminine wardrobe just
now that few OF the very latest and
most correct suggestions are inter.
esting.
Of course, all outing gowns these
days have a short skirt, not an unbe-
comingly short one, but just the right
length for comfort. Side and box
pleated models are the latest, but those
with tucks, SO stitched that they slim
ulate pleats while being perfectly fiat,
are most popular. These tucks run al
most to the foot of the skirt, where
they are allowed to flare:
In materials, pique, linen, galatea,
denim and duck are the most favored
wash fabrics. Wash silks; so much
cooler than the stuff that need starch,
yet bearing laundering quite as we'll;
make ideal outing suits.
Pongee. SO fashionable this season,
is also found among the desirable fab
RIGS for outing and is now to be had
in so many attractive colorings that
many very smart suits may be made
from 1t. Gray, dark blue or tan pongee
pined In white both looks and is de-
lightfully cool.
While many outing costumes, ex-
ceedingly swagger ones, too, are made
perfectly plain, yet braid in two or
three fiat rows is much used garni-
ture. Hercules braid is used on the
wooden stuffs, while any one of the
innumerable kinds of wash or cotton
braids are used on the "tub" gowns.
Broad for the moment is better style
tnan stitched bands for trimming. But
touch, are all small, and are of pearl,
silver or gilt

Setutln: Wayy Hair.

A simple contrivance for producing
soft waves In the hair is made of rub
Der in colors to match the shade oftae
hair. 1t is fiat, about quarter of an
h,ch at the widest part. At one cad
is tiny knob and at the other small
ring, while through the centre runs
narrow slit. Through this opening the
strand of hair is drawn and the hair
wound around the curler. A rubber
cord loops into the ring and is pulled
over and caught on the opposite knob.
The waviness is secured much more
quickly than by other methods, and the
rubber does not in any way injure
the hair.-New York Sun.

Caro- of brushes and Combs.

A girls idea of neatness is some.
times like the ostrich's idea OF con-
cealment-he will hide his head in
the sand and rest in the comfort that
he has eluded observation. Often girls
who wash their hair persistently give
never a thought to the care of the
brushes and combs. A specialist says
that hair brushes should be washed
once week at least, and if used on
hair in which there is much dandruff,
twice week is not too often

A lovely decorative bit is a scrap bas-

baskets need no further decoration, but
