A COMBINATION WINDOW
SEAT (PracticaD. D.-When cramped for
closet room and at the same time
economy must be enforced it would be
unwise to undertake a built-in window
seat for the purpose of providing a box
compartment. The wages Of the car
penter and the cost of upholstery would
be ruinOus for a really good article
built to order. Very useful box
coucheS can be purchased at moderate
cost and in variety of lengths and
grades of covering, so that YOU can
probably obtain size which will near
ly fill the space. By the use of a few
gay pillows you will have a cozy, rest
full nook and a roomy receptacle for
your gowns, hats, etc, easy of access.
When one is forced to occupy a rather
small room it's capacity of usefulness
may be greatly augmented by select
ing only such articles of furniture as
can be put to the greatest number of
uses. The much berated folding bed
turned, during the day, snugly against
the wall exposes its long mirrored
front, thus doing double duty.
FOR TRANSPARENT YOKES CNel-
lie).-To avoid spelling the perfect out
line of the sheer drOp-yoke of summer
waists. make your corset cover without
Sh0ulder-StrapS and also remodel the
knitted vests in this respect. The good
dresser is very particular that she does
not expose too many odd and end bits
or lace through the openwork of her
waists. Thin lawn corset covers, which
show the vest, as well as parts of the
corset, are in extremely bad taste, and
the good appearance of the outer gar
ment is utterly ruined. The most
dainty practical corset cover is made
of English long cloth, which possesses
many advantages over lawn; its wear
ing qualities are above reproach, 1T is
Opaque enough to conceal any article
worn beneath it. and yet is thin, soft
and cool. Cut the corset cover straight
at the top, well up under the arms and
finish the edge with a narrow, white
silk elastic to hold il up. AS you are
stout around the hips finish the lower
edge of the cover at the waist line with
a strong lace beading run with a rib
bon for belt and to adjust the extra
fullness. This obviates any useless
fullneSS and yet makes a perfect COM
pletion. A cover of fine nainsook en-
broidery in hounce width is also
charming. Face the front edges and
close with small pearl buttons and
loops OF course the embroidered edge
forms the top. and the plain portion
may be dart-tucked or gathered at the
waist line into a belt of beading. Small
loops are made near the top edge in
which to run the elastic or ribbon; or,
better still. select pattern of en-
bToidery with holes of convenient size
and regularity, so that they may serve
the purpose.

Practical Brides TrOuSSeau.
