Separate Waists,

The separate waist holds place of
honor in the early showings of the
specially shops. There is nothing to
take the place of the dainty white
waist as the dominant third" of the
three-piece suit. Fashion has failed
to fill its place with the waist Of lace
or chiffon or crepe de chine exactly
matching the color of the suit The
lingerie waist is preferred to that of
silk or satin. 1t is a lingerie waist
that differs markedly from it's pre-
decessors of last season. 1t shows far
less fullness and has scarcely sug-
gestion of blousiness. The woman of
full figure wears her blouse drawn
down into the belt or girdle quite
trinity while she of more girlish lines
has it's scant fullness shirred into the
belt in a manner that suggests grace
full curves without the appearance of
bagginess that all slim sisters adopt
ed a season or so ago.
The finest of handkerchief linens is
chosen to fashion these delightful
lingerie blouses.

In Choosing Hats.

II woman has sharp or decidedly
prominent features let her avoid hats
that are set back or off the face. Such
a woman should wear hat brought
well forward, and hair should be as
fluffy as possible, and becoming veil
will do wonders. Sharp outlines in
hats should also be avoided by her.
Lace edges and indented trims are
good.
II the features are irregular, a hat
with the brim crushed here and there
is usually suitable setting. The
woman with a prominent nose has
much to contend with. Her hats
should. avoid severeness in outline and
should be set well forward, so that the
prominent feature will appear little
less in size. On the other hand the
woman with a small or fiat nose
should not wear hat that projects
sufficiently to make the nose appear
even more Insignificant, nor a large
hat that dwarfs it.
A hat under medium in size, and
with small flowers or short tips, or
rows Of moderate size should be worn
With a small face and features huge
picture hats should never be worn,
even If the figure be tall and slight
enough to carry them.

In Winter.
In winter, when the nights are long,
| sit and dream before the fire;
My heart is light. my love is strong
For books, dear friends. that never tire,
In winter, when the nights are long.
l read from eve till midnight comes;
stir my soul with history:
My spirit then with heroes roams:
quaff of poets mystery
From out the worn, beloved tones.
In winter when the nights are long,
When lamp burns bright and fire burns
hear again fun many a song.
And voices out of the long ago.
In winter, when the nights are long.
Loved poems! All. how sweet you seem,
Ballade. rondeau, and willamette;
Before the glow l sit and dream.
Your music casts Ger me its spell.
As shadows dance and embers CLEAN.
In winter. when the nights are long.
l revel. Some the summer praise,
Its gentle breeze, Its sunlight strong;
But let me dedicate my lays
To winter, when the nights are long

important Point.

An important point which the home
d. essmaker must learn is not to de-
pend too closely on her pattern. A
professional dressmaker as rule,
builds her garment from well-fitting
lining, but trims and drapes and adds
the accessories without any aid but
her own ingenuity. The amateur usu-
ally buys a pattern, and is afraid to
altar it by so much as hairs breadth
for fear the result will not be salts
factory. This fear of being original
is what makes so many garments
have the "home made" look, and it
should be combatted by the worker
trying her hand at making a garment
after her own ideas, using at first
some cheap material easy to handle,
which, if it is spoiled. will count for
Just so much experience gained, in
stead of being total loss. Money
will be saved in the purchase of pat
terms, and the worker will soon find
that by following out her own ideas
she will save likewise on material
and on time One home dressmaker
bought nine-gored skirt pattern last
spring and several skirts of d1Terent
STYLES were evolved from that founda-
ton. In one, the second and fourth
cores were cut off at the knee and

Bureau and table scarfs in broderie

rative household linen.
Always have place for brooms
and feather busters and brushes

itely under glass that is light and air

Very scanty fullness is the rule
now for all window or door hangings
anu none at all for front door and
vestibule panels.
To wash anything that is greasy
use hot soda water. The alkali turns
the grease into soap, which will do
its own cleansing.
Half lemon placed in the water
in which dish towels and kitchen
cloths are soaked is said to sweeten
them wonderfully.
One of the most soothing applica-
tions for fresh burn is raw potato

Nice Tart Paste.

For these tarts take one pint pastry
-four, small cup lard, teaspoonful
sugar. half one salt, white of one ege
and three tablespoonsfuls cold water
Do not have it too soft, just right to
roll out Roll about haif-inch thick
cut with doughnut cutter and put
one side. Roll out the little centers
left from inside thin, put on baking
pan, wet rims and lay the thick, round
tart shells on them, rub white of an
egg over them before putting in oven
and bake quick. If too slow, they
will be tough. Now, If you want a
pretty fancy dish, roll thin rounds tc
fit the tops of tarts, and cut out foul
rounds with a thimble in form of a
diamond. When filled with jell put
the tops on and see how nice they
look.
