of the velvet ribbon on edge OF bertha,
belt and full skirt about three inches
from its lowest edge. Make one-seam-
ed bishop sleeve either plain or plated
to correspond with the waist. Gather
lower edge into a band cuff trimmed
with velvet ribbon and buttons A
novel touch is given by slashing the
bertha at the shoulder and placing
three buttons on each side Of the slash
just inside the rows of velvet The
skirt should be made without lining
and finished with four-inch hem, al
though a cute little drop skirt of sile-
sia or sateen may be used if desired,
sewed in at the belt only. Fancy
tweeds and suitings are suitable and
stylish for misses made either IN shirt
waist or jacket suits. A model In the
latter style is of nut brown tweed
fecked with dark green and blue, and
the modish blouse jacket has collar,
cuffs and belt Of green velvet out
lined with a single row OF black fiber
braid. A cream white and brown mer-
cerized vesting shirt waist is worn
with the suit
FOR RAINY DAYS Business wo-
man)-The day has gone when any old
suit Is considered good enough for
stormy weather. The wise woman
knows that she looks anything but her
best when buffeted about by the ele-
ments with bedraggled skirts and fly
ing locks, and has set about in true
American fashion to overcome the evil.
The newest and most practical rainy
day suits are made Of cravenettes cut
exactly like the modish walking suit.
The finish consists of machine stitch
ing, pearl or cloth buttons, coat collar
inlaid with velvet or contrasting ma
terial and lining of gray clan plaid.
Storm serge. cheviot. frieze, water
proof and macintosh cloths ara also
in evidence. The skirts are gored with
plain stitched seams or with plaits at
each seam. The side or box plated
f1ounce mounted to the edge Of gored
skirt is popular. but not nearly as
practical as the plain gored skirt, which
may be ornamented by a shaped band
at the lower edge. All skirts clear the
ground two or more inches. Coats are
in short three-quarters length, loose or
fitted; also in Norfolk and automobile
style, with and without shoulder capes.
When the wise woman dresses for
rainy day she discards all petticoats
except one short underskirt and dons
equestrian tights to guard against cold.
Her hair is brushed and coiled secure
ly. held with few extra pins, and she
does not make the mistake Of wearing
heavy shoes which will wet through
so that she is obliged to have wet feet
all day. The sensible woman puts ON
overshoes or sandals, and she selects a
smart walking hat free from display
and perishable trimmings, and one
which will fit the head securely. A
veil Of rather close mesh net or chiffon
worn over the face and pinned secure
ly, with free short ends, keeps the hair
tidy, while a neat umbrella and stout
dark gloves complete the sensible toilet.
RED MARKS ON FACE (Cordelia)-
Too violent treatment Of facial erup-
tions is usually responsible for the dis
figuring red marks which are left after
the eruptions heal. In removing facial
eruption, coax them rather than drive
them away. Picking at pimples pro-
duces an irritation which only retards
their quick development and conse-
quent quick disappearance. When a
pimple presents a pustulated point,
wash the spot with warm soapy water
and open with a fine sharp needle.
Protect the face from bruising by
covering the finger tips with a perfectly
clean piece OF white linen, then press
out the pus; then bathe the spot with
clean warm water, using a bit Of car
bolated cotton Pat gently with a small
piece of linen or cotton wet with witch
hazel to assist in removing every atom
of impurity. If infiamed or sore. wet
bit of cotton with witch hazel and
hold on the SPOT for fifteen or twenty
minutes. Absolute cleanliness is i'm
perative in the treatment of any
broken skin. If the skin Is very sensi-
tive, a red mark may be left, even with
care. Exercise patience and gently
massage the spot every day with good
cold cream, giving the treatment Just
before retiring. -
