As q Winter Resort. Too.

Colorado has become famous as
summer resort. When it's hot and
disagreeable In the eastern states
people just come TO CUlorado-that's
all. But winter-time is pretty nearly
over and We haven't had anything In
the shape of weather that the eastern,
and even many southern states, would
call winter-just seven. only seven,
degrees above zero for low.
And this isn't anything very un-
usual-'twould be unusual il we had
had any OF that 26 below kind which
is regular thing in good old Mime
sofa where they grow wheat-just
wheat and hay. We are not used to
that sort OF thing and we'd leave the
country II we had to pat up with it.

to hide behind storm doors. It's all

LINEN HINTS

When hanging your linen to dry use
two lines comparatively close and par
allel for your tablecloths and sheets.
Throw. one selvedge side Of your Ia
'blecloth over one line toward the other,
allowing 1t to hang down about a quar-.
ter Of a yard and being careful to pin
it a short distance from the ends. Take
the opposite side Of your cloth and
throw it over the other line, facing the
first line, and pin it in the same man
ner.
This will form sort of bag and will
prevent to considerable extent the
wild blowing Of the tablecloth in windy
weather.
After table linen Is thoroly dried
remove it from the line and prepare to
dampen it. a whisk broom is excellent
for the purpose.
Table linen, in order to- bring out
the bright gloss that makes it attract
i've, should be dampened quite consid,
erably.
Sprinkle the tablecloths freely, being
sure that the selvedge ends or hem.

SUMMER GIRLS FAN

A person has to look long way
these days to find the overheated,
blowsy-looking woman Of previous sum.
mers. The gentler sex. have learned
that it is the girl who looks cool and
comfortable who commands most atten-
tion in hot weather, and profting by
the knowledge they have very generally
adopted those magic aids to summer
comfort, the fan and parasol.
1t is distinctly;a sensible move, and
one that will reflect it's wisdom in the
perceptible gain to health and beauty.
The use Of a parasol is an almost GER
tain preventive Of the distressing hot
weather headache which comes from
exposure to the direct rays Of the sun,
while it is equally efficient in keeping
at bay those summer annoyances,
freckles and tan.
These blemishes are decidedly un-
fashionable this season. The typical
summer girl Of '06 is a marvel of
dainty pinkand-whiteness, and nobody
can be pink-and-white who is long ex-
posed to a summer sun; hence the
ubiquitous parasol.
AS for the fan, that has come back
into vogue along with the wild rose
complexion. Everything nowadays
bears the Vatican stamp, from COM
plexions to wallpapers and Vatican
belle without fan is not to be thought
Of a,
The lingerie parasol is, il anything,
more popular than last summer. It is
seen in linen Of all grades, from the
finest batiste to the heaviest product
of the Irish looms, and it is variously
embroidered in shadow work, Hedebo
cut, work, English eyelet work embroi-
derry and the always handsome. satin
stitch. s., i.
Sometimes the only ornamentation is
the owner g monogram in. satin stitch
on one section. And again, as often,
the entire parasol is covered with a
succession of embroidered, ruffles Wo-
men who have a taste for ornamental
needle-work embroider their own para
soils and have them mounted after their
own ideas. 81
Occasionally they carry the fad still
further and embroider fans to match
the parasols, having both mounted in
mother-of-pearl, ivory or white enam-
.eled wood. The lingerie fan is indeed
the most exclusive Of summer novel
ties, because one must either embroider
it herself or have it embroidered to
order.

FROM ELIZABETH LEE
Handling Of Taffeta.

Dear Miss Lee: Will you kindly tell
me how to press the tucks in a. taffeta
skirt,so as not to get them too fiat; also
how collar, band or stock collar
should be set on so that the waist will
not show wrinkles Mine invariably
wrinkle when the collar is in place, but
not before? Any advice will be much
appreciated. Mrs. R. T. L.
The tucks should be pressed with
a cool iron, never hot; a good plan is
to place strips of newspaper under each
tuck on the right side, then turn on the
wrong side and press lightly. Remove
the papers and the pleats will stand up
sufficiently. If your seams draw when
going thru the machine, as sheer or
thin goods are apt to do, lay newspa-
pers underneath as you sew. It can be
readily torn away after the stitching is
in, and in all probability the seams
vii not require pressing at all.
In regard to your second question, I
fancy the, fault lies in the collar being
too short. This must always measure
more than the part it meets. The very
best way for the amateur dressmaker
is to finish the neck with, a tiny band,
finish off the collar, also, then, when
the waist is on the wearer, pin the col
lar, making changes until the set is
good, then securing with stitches in
visibly in the back. The neck should
be cut as high as possible, shipped to
fit, but not cut away.

HANGING SMALL PICTURES

Small pictures ought not to be al.
lowed to tilt much, and should be fast
ened closely to the wall, not by long
cords or wires. Heavy cords are not
pretty for any picture, and where large
cords or chains are necessary. they
should be colored to match the wall, so
as to show as little as possible. Great
care should also be exercised in select
ing the wall on which to hang valua-
BILE picture. Dampness ruins pic
ture very shortly, and for that reason
outside walls should be avoided as much
as possible. Nor should pictures be re-
hung on freshly papered wall until the
paste has thoroly dried. It is never
safe FOR an inexperienced hand to at
tempt to renovate or clean badly
smoked or dusty painting.
