Whereas
1t always is in good taste to be identified
with one delicate perfume, 1t never is to be
identified with many. 1t Is hardly realized
by the one who uses it how the scent Of a
soap or a toilet powder will hang about
ones atmosphere and without realizing 1t
the girl who never uses anything but VIC
let as a perfume will identify herself with
other scents every time she washes her
hands or powders. The golden rules for
using perfume are first, never to use any
thing highly scented; second, having
chosen a perfume, stirk to It, and third
let your choice be distinctive. Abroad this
demand is SO insistent that there are sold
boxes In which some of the finest per-
fumes, soaps and powders are put up with
the three articles of the same scent all In
one box. Where the buyer Is fastfdious
enough to take the trouble she can match
up these articles for herself easily.
A Girl
Who was round-shouldered cured herself
by grasping the fact that beauty can just
as well be making while we sleep. Re-
meInbering that she spent one-third Of the
time In bed, she determined. at the cost OF
whatever discomfort, TO go without pill
low and to sleep fiat on her back, with her
shoulders in an absolutely straight posi-
ton; with the result that the habit. which
it was almost impossible to think OF In
the daytime, was done away with.

inch and a half Is allowed by the profess
sional seamstress on every seam, and with
less than this your patience will be tried
and your work hindered. besides the fact
that the lining will draw or may have to
be pieced out as an alternative. The
quickest and simplest way to put in the
lining Of a blouse or one Of the little short
coats without many seams is to pin the
cloth right to the jacRet. Turn the coat
and put 1t over the end of q lapboard
Lay the selvage of the goods along the
middle seam and allow for the inevitable
plait as well as for the lap. Provide your
self with good supply of pins and put
them in thick along every seam. Then
trim off the goods, leaving an inch and
on the sleeve to bind over the armholes.

Quilts
And eagles feathers protrude 20 persist
entity from all the new hats that the never
ending question Of how to place and
fasten them results. Put them outside Of
the brim in every case where the hat is
shaped SO that you can, and conceal the
edges from under large straw buckle or
fiat rosette of velvet ribbon. The ribbon
is laid in tiny plaits or gathers, the inner
end being curved around like a straw
crown, and the quill coming out through 1t.
Or, another way: Sew the quilts to the
side of the uptu1ned brim, draw your vel
vet ribbon from around the crown across
them, and lay over this a circle of gath
cred velvet ribbon, letting it form a buckle
holding the other ribbon down. third
way was seen in a narrow, Alpine-s shaped
hat, in which two quilts were pointed back
ward from each side of the crown. A band
of red velvet was set over the crown and
three circular buckles made Of red beads
were placed over 1t along the front, the
quilts being thrust under the two end ones.

The fur coats that are provided for little
folks there is a clever cut which mother
can apply to any little double breasted
coat. There is little slit ON each side In

to go under them are delicate colored sat
ines or the wide cotton-backed satins of
which coat Innings are made.
Sheets and pillow cases are now elab-
oratefy embroidered and are also trimmed
with lace. For best" bed set the girl
who does not embroider can edge one set
of her linen pillow slips and sheets with
linen lace, putting back OF it strip OF
corresponding insertion. through which are
run satin ribbons in pink or whatever color
the room may be. In such set as this
only one sheet Is trimmed which Il kept
for the top. and the plain sheets are kept
for the bottom, without trying TO make
them interchangeable.
Tabiecioths also are made with lace
edges and insertion and are run with broad
rose satin ribbons. Ieacloths have wide
borders OF lace, and these are all things
which can be made by buying plain linen
pieces of good quality and then applying
the lace at home.
With the girl who does einbroidering the
same plan is good one, and a new idea
in fancifui Is the application Of colored en-
broideries to white and unbleached linens
in cashmere colorings. They are called
cashmere embroiderfes and make rich and
beautiful lunch sets, better still for the
modest little home-separate small table
covers.
II these elaborate things cannot be In
dulged In 1t Is better simply to mark the
bottom drawer treasures with large
white material. applying the same to both
table linen and bed lfneas. Then the money
can be invested in the best linen of plain
quality which can possibly BIO bought.

Mirrors
For table decorations constantly grow
larger and more odd in shape. Oblong
shapes with fancifully curved ends are

vases and candelabra, internixed with flow
ers in green. For instance. piece OF
bisque in which china nymphs in fountain
base We're represented was set In the GEN.
ter of a low mound of ferns. with more
ferns planted In the fountain basin around
them. The clump of earth was taken whole
out OF large fern dish which had been
kept open in the center purposely and
which was set down in a border of smilax.
This was in a pinkish shade. In line with
1t were set two bisque candelabra holding
a bunch of candlesticks with pink shades.
These were also set in ring of the Smilax
mixed with ferns. border OF the green
lay around the edge of the glass, and in
this were set small bfsQue vases, each hold
ing pink carnations and lilies of the valley.
There were as many of these as there were
guests, the contents of each vase being
afterward taken as a souvenir. That which
added most to the loneliness of the unusual
decoration was the trailing of slender
wreaths of smilax from the center of the
high candelabras to each of the six low
vases, where it was caught in the center of
the flowers. These same garlands of green
were also trailed around the bath nymphs.
