FORWOMEN
Suits In Variety

Perhaps there was never before sc
great a variety in tailored suits, for
aside from the use of decorations, there
is every possible latitude in the shape
and cut of the coat, says foreign let
| ter. 1t may be fitted coat, with
| basques, pieces or the little directoire
jacket, which has proved to be more
generally becoming than was thought
when first introduced. There are count
| less examples of boleros from which
to choose, some snug to the figure ana
others loose and falling off the shoul-
ders. A pretty feature of some of the
boleros is the extension of the front
pieces, which cross slightly and fall
over the belt.
Household Accounts
Fix a certain day for carefully going
into the domestic accounts and GER
tain day for their payment. 1t Is easy
to rectify an error which has happened
during the past week, but memory Is
apt to fail after longer period. A
special drawer or pigeonhole should be
kept for the weekly books and bills and
the housekeeping account book.
When You Buy Hat
1t is an old story that, while the
American woman regards her hat only
as being suitable to her face, the
French woman is even more particular
about her profile and the appearance or
the sides and back of her hat. For 1t
Is very true that we cannot always
stand face to face with the whole
world, and the critics in the rear are
those whose remarks are most harsh.
Remember this, then, in choosing a
new hat. Take a handglass and view
the hat from all sides before selection
Little Change In Sleeves
The moderately full sleeve continues
to be accepted and there are no indi-
cations of change in the sleeve outline.
The long sleeve is set in reasonably
full at the shoulder and either as
sumes modified gigot lines or ordinary
coat sleeve lines, or is draped or puffed
above the elbow and worn with
close-ftting undersleeve, usually trans
parent. The dressy afternoon sleeve
ends at the elbow and save at the arm
hole is draped rather closely to the
arm.
subdued Lights
Few women will be subjected to an
awful greenish glare, a purple hue or
even pale blue rays this reason, for
careful housekeepers realize the advan-
tage of having a soft shade of light
to give a desirable tone to the sur
roundings, as well as to make the most
OF their personal appearance, and for
this reason delicate shades OF yellow,
pink and rose will be found ingeniously
twisted around almost all the electric
light bulbs in an apartment, parttcu-
larly in the dining room, where a glar-
ing or trying light frequently causes
untold discomfort to the nerves of
guests, besides making them look un-
real and often CHASTITY.
Homemade Bath Bags
Select cheese cloth about four inches
square and fill with the following mix
ture: Two and a half pounds oatmeal.
one-half pound of almond meal, one
half pound OF orris root (powdered)
and one-quarter pound of CASTLE soap.
which has first been scraped to a fine
powder. Not too much should be put
into each bag.
Caviar Sandwiches
A good caviar sandwich is relished
by many people. Here is recipe:
Sprinkle a little lemon juice and a few
drops Of onion juice over the caviar.
Stir, and then stir into the creamed
butter that is to be spread on the
bread. When all slices are spread, fit
the edges removing the crusts and
leaving a clean edge all around the
sandwich. They may then be cut in
the shape of triangles, rounds or dia-
monds or in dainty narrow strips the
length of ones finger. To keep the
sandwiches fresh pile log cabin fashion
on the plate. Wiring large napkin out
of ice water, lay the plate on this. then
bring the corners up over the top of
the pile of sandwiches and set away
in cool place.
