HOW TO ARRANGE FLOWERS

The real secret Of arranging flowers
effectively is to let the flowers arrange
themselves, but in order to get cool
results the right kind of vases must be
used, so that when the blossoms are
put In they fall naturally into place.
One of the greatest advantages of this
scheme is ii does away with the neces-
city of handling delicate flowers too
much, and the less they are handled the
better
The first thing to be considered is
how the flowers grow in their natural
state and then to use q vase in which
they may appear as much as possible
as though they We're really growing.
Beautiful as flowers always are when
picked, il depends largely on ~heiT
proper arrangement whether or not
they give satisfactory impression.
The present method of putting flowers
of one kind in one vase is Of quite
modern origin, for in our grandmother S
day the more different specimens con-
tanned in a "nosegay" the more beauti-
fui Ii was considered, and although
some people seem still to have a pro-
pensity for sticking several kinds OF
flowers into narrow-necked vases the
custom of arranging blossoms of one
kind loosely in the same vase is Tor
tunateiy general.

GOOD DRESS SHIELDS.

Few women give much thought to the
subject of dress shields. and yet this is
an important and inconspicuOus portion
of their attire. A poor shield will ruin
the most expensive gown; an ill-fitting
shield will mar it, an uncomfortable
shield will detract from the pleasure of
wearing a stunning gown"-a pleas
ure dear to woman's heart. There are
many points to consider in selecting a
shield. Size, weight and material vary
to suit the taste of varied purchasers,
but the quality should always be of the
best. When we consider the great num-
Der of manufacturers of dress shields,
who are constantly studying the needs
and tastes of women in respect to their
commodities, we may feel assured that
for every woman there is a shield
which will exactly suit her 1t is GER
tainly worth while to stop and think
about this, and then to experiment I'M
til that one right" shield is found.

MRS. LESLIE CARTER
PAYNE'S KiM0N0S

Il know why Mrs. Leslie Carter didn't
wait for a rousseau" said the girl who
has ordered raspberry sundae. TITS
because she seldom wears anything but
a kinono-even when she goes autoinG.
She slips a long loose cloak-of which
she has a dozen-over her kimOnO and
sallies forth. / met her one day all in
black-a black hat. long black silk coat,
long black gloves, and even a black
bow on her fiery braids. She went into
a shop and took off her coat in the
dressmaKfng depaTtment-she had come
for a fitting | was daZZled. my dear
Couldn't believe my eyes-unGer all
the black was red and blue and gold
and green-the most gorgeous kimono
in the world. No skirt or bodice, just
a long, loose Oriental gown over the
petticoat from the Rue de la Paix.
The girl with the raspberry sundae
was right, but she told only tenth
of the truth. Even she would be
amazed to learn that Mrs. Carter
Payne owns hundreds OF klmonos ana
loose-sleeved mandarin coats. They MI
a score of trunks and two massive
wardrobes. When a kimono is soiled
Mrs. Carter never sends 1t to a clean
er's. Her maid puts it away somewhere
and should Mrs. Carter, when she goes
the ultimate way, be sepulchred. as are
egyptian princesses, surrounded by the
splendors of her wardrobe. future
archaeologists will doubt the historians
who said that the United States was
once a republic.
some of the Oriental garments have
q biography of their own. one has
been worn on an occasion or state by
the Dowaeer Empress of China, and
was stolen by one of the terrible old
nerson's maids. The maid was caught
in the theft and something dreadful
happened !

PRACTICAL APPAREL
FOR AUT0M0BILING

Even autOmObiling attire-long a de
tractor from beauty and elegance-is
now being made with due regard to its
own appearance and that of its wearer
A general rule, never to be forgotten
in ordering suits for sports, is that to
look pretty they must be practical and
comfortable. Many tailOrs sacrifice
these qualities to style, in their desire
to create and procure new models,
which evidently strike the inexperi-
enced, but which sadly inconvenience
the wearers.
The dust cloak, which is absolutely
indispensable, is made of linen cloth or
tussor silk The hood and cape are
made of the same material, in the reg
ular domino shape, and provided with
this cloak our intrepid "chauffeuses"
can face any severe rainy spell.
One pretty dust cloak seen was closed
on the shoulder and on the side by
means of large buttons, enabling one
to put it on without assistance and al
lowing no passage TO the wind. The
yoke, or, rather, the two yokes-for it
seems that there are two placed one
above the other-were shaped to a
point. and the garment was amply
pleated in large fiat folds. On the rag
Ian sleeve was a large fold, starting
from the collar. The revers and collar
were in fancy tussor. Scotch plaid de-
sign cloak of brown leather was
very chic, and of graceful and fault
less cut. All its elegance consisted in
the designs of the bands of leather
forming a large scallOped yoke, and
stole in the back reaching down to the
flounce zen Forme." 1t was entirely
lined with wadded satin and the large
sleeves were provided with "eOuDe-
vent" This name is given to a sort of
undersleeve. sewn on the lining of the
sleeve, closing tightly on the wrist by
an elastic, and thereby allowing no en-
trance to dust or wind.
