INEXPENSIVE TRIMMINGS.
Bits of Feminine Finery That Are II
Vogue for the Seasons
Gowns.

Cordings Of the shirred variety can be
mentioned as one form of cheap, pretty
trimming. With yard of white satin
cut on the bais one can make a great
quantity Of shirred cordinE. Let the
cords vary in size, and use them in diff
ferent ways on the skirt, says the Brook
Ign Eagle.
Fold trimmings are inexpensive and
pretty, and there is such variety OF
folds that one need not fear mononty.
There are all kinds of folds, from the
tiny fold which is called a piping to the
wide fold which is box plated and
stitched around the skirt as trimming.
One can get up some remarkably hand
some trimmings in this manner.
And there are other trimmings The
fashion Of cutting out roses Of lace and
applying them to the gown has not gone
out. But the lace roses must be some
what worked. II one can get hold Of
very cheap lace insertion Of lace by the
yard one would do well to buy considt--
able of 1t, several yards II possible.
The matter of cutting out the roses Is
easily managed, but the roses should be
cut out with little margin to leave
room for the application.
Now. apply the flowers to the gown
which should not be covered with them
by any means. but merely trimmed with
them. Roses can trim wide fiounce.
They can be used in panel fashion upon
dinner gown and they are always
charming as sleeve or cuff trimming.
After flowers have been applied they
should be lightly worked. A few black
or deep leaves can be placed around
them and into the roses there can BIO
worked a few beads Of glittering jet.
Applied roses, while far from new. are
never old and the fact that Dame FASH
lon is In love with them this year makes
them all the more desirable. They can
be applied and then worked in colors
in such manner that the petals and the
heart are brought out sharply while all
the rest is in outline. It is really worth
while for the artistic woman to expert
ment little with her trimmings and
see what can be done with them.

BEAUTY HINTS FOR WOMEN
How 70 Take Care of the Skin and
Make It Clear and Healthy
Looking.

Though O woman may have chiseled
features, rosy cheeks and bright eyes.
yet she misses heing good to look upon
II her skin shows lack OF care.
II is astonishing how quickly neg.
lected skin will retaliate. Almost before
woman can realize 1t, she will discover
that her complexion IL telling tales OF
Its neglect, says Woman's Home Com
panion.
One Of the first signs that the skin Ii
aot cared for systematically and prop
erly is the appearance Of enlarged pores.
These unsightly looaing blemishes ar
nounce the fact that the skin needs nour.
lshment. II is in these enlarged pores
that particles OF dir: lodge. and In this
way the dreaded blackhead is formed.
There is no excuse for the woman who
allows her face to be marred by these
disfiguring black specks.
As soon as they put in an appearance
she should remove them with a come
done extractor. which squeezes them out
Of the pores. This removing the black
heads. is simple enough. but keeping
them from appearing again means care
full day-after-day attention to the skin.
The pores must be kept clean and thor.
oughly nourished.
At least once day the face should be
literally drenched with pure, nourish-
ing cold cream. The cream must DO
thoroughly rubbed into the pores. 1t
should be allowed to stay upon the face
until 1t is well sucked up by the pores;
then It should be removed with the mas
sage-bulb, which not only draws the
cream out effectually, but any particles
Of dust that may have lodged in the
pores.
Iron the face frequently" is our ad-
vice to the women who wish to keen
fresh and young-looking; but Of course
be careful to use the right sort of4ron.
We use little iron made Of piece Of
lava. To be sure. It is unusual to put
lava to this use, but the French ironer,
as We call It, is capable of accomplishing
much good in Transforming neglected
and tired-looking faces.
It has a magic way Of removing the
worry-lines about the mouth. II used
faithfully, It will iron away a double
chin, and for banishing the unslghtly
bags under the eyes. when tell of Ill
health and WEAKNESS, 1t is unequaled.
