The dewdy appearance of more than
half the women seen in automobiles
might be avoided in some measure If
they made it a rule to always wear
wells. IF those who never do could only
see how disheyeled and unattraetive
they appear, the inherent vanity of the
sex would assert itself toward an i'm

not be bad idea if private motors
were to have veil pockets, the owner
supplying a number of wells in black,
green and brown chiffon, with plenty
of wells and hat pins besides. The
comfort of keeping ones stray locks

A clever girl who had worn mourning
last summer, conceived the idea of re-
embroidering in colors her collars and
stocks with wash silk in her favorite
colors; she found that she could ac-
complish this task with great. success.
Wherever there was white embroidery
intermingled with black she let it re-
main, devoting herself to covering what
was black only. For red, she made use
Of embroidery cotton rather than silk.
The result was an. exceedingly pretty
set of neekwear among them, few
cravats the ends of which had been
very lightly dotted with black. It was
much easier to cover the wrong side of
these dots with eolored silks, than if
they had been sprigged design, as
with cravats, both right and wrong
sides have to be- the same in color. as
