Sachets and Lingerie Waists

~ NE dainty accessory which will
find place among the frills
and furbelows Of each girl IS
wardrobe this coming summer is
corset sachet. Soft, thin lingerie waists
are to have vogue which will sur
pass any they have enjoyed in previous
years, and in order to preserve the
rounded contour of the figure in them
these sweet puffs are brought into
most effectual service. Pinned at the
top of the corset so that it extends from
armpit to armpit, double or triple layers
of sheet wadding encased in exquisite
covers Of silk and ribbon give a full
ness at the bust line which holds the
light, clinging blouses in place. They
effect shapeliness as well, which the
old-fashioned stiff shirtwaist always
lacked.
Of the beauties of these corset
sachets there is no end. Hand painting,
delicate embroideries and fetching
frills of lace all add their loveliness to
tinted satins' and sKks. Pinking and
peta1-like trimmings grace many puffs,
while the new pompadour ribbons rem
der other sachets veritable flower
adornments
Many and varied also are the shapes
into which the silk and ribbon are
! formed. Each girl has her own favorite
kind Of puff, and if she is deft with
her needle no less than three or four
are laid in her drawer for wear with
her different sets of underclothes. That
| is, she has pale blue sachet when
the baby blue ribbons deck her dainty
corset cover, a seft pink one for pink
ribbons, and lavender to match the
washable insertions of lavender. The
/ very faintest shades Of color, how
ever, should be used, as it is distinctly
unrefned to have brilliant bows re.
vealed beneath filmy summer waists.
| One Of the simplest Of the corset
sachets is heart six or eight inches
/ long. Two or three thicknesses Of cot
! ton wadding, sprinkled thickly with
the best grade of scented powder, are
! covered by plain china silk, preferably
in white if a girl can have but one.
Before fastening the silk to the wad
/ ding, narrow Valenciennes lace is
gathered scantily around the edge OF
1.-The upper heart-shaped cover The
scented lining in exactly the same shape
and size is then laid on, and the under
heart of silk, with frayed edges care
fully, turned in, is blind stitched in
place. When girl is- handy with he1
paint brush, a spray Of forget me -nots
or primroses decorates the upper piece
/ of silk.

Becoming Colors.

SoAS3Ss Il P.
Dear Madam-Will you please tell
me what colors I can successfully
wear9 I have dark eyes, black hair,
between dark and light skin. Ny face
Is slender. I am 5 feet tall. I have a
new silk waist, changeable green and
brown. Will you please tell me what
kind Of trimming to get, SO that it will
make 1t becoming to me. Want it made
for evening and church. My age is %.
Velva, N. D. Mrs. jim. E.
You can wear cream, ivory, yellow,
reds, cardinal, pale blue, golden brown,
the tan and champagne shades, tho the
latter require the wearer to possess a
fairly good color; gray, coral pink,
very pale rose pink, old rose and terra
Gotta. Navy blue and red combined
are good, relieved near the face with
a little cream. No violets, mauves or
green's.
The waist is apt to be unbecoming
unless relieved, and these changeable
silks do not lend themselves well to
trimming. The best advice that I can
give, not knowing your exact measure
ments, is to pintuck the whole upper
part, as far as yoke depth, with groups
Of FIVE tucks running as far as the
waistline instead Of stopping off at the
yoke. This should be cut away in a
square at the neck for wear with an
ivory or butter-colored lingerie
chemisette. The square is finished
with band Of golden brown velvet
This will give character to the waist
and also make 1t more becoming. The
sleeves may be three-quarter length
shirred to form deep cuffs, ending il
small turnback cuffs Of the brown vel
vet, with soft lace ruffles sewn in. The
belt may be Of the velvet or the sill
as preferred. If you are short-waistet
choose the latter, and close with brow,
velvet bows. ..se*

ing fast to prejudice, or obstinate be-
cause Of over-weening self-conceit. An
ability to see another person Is side Of
the shield, to look at affairs from a
viewpoint that is not wholly our own,
goes far to reduce obstinacy to it's low
est terms, and make people agreeable
comrades on the road.
Note that character amounts to lit
tie which is without convictions. About
right and wrong we should have posi-
tive ideas and maintain them with firm
ness. About questions of policy or ex-
pediency we should be open to persua-
sion or concessions from others.

Whether or not married folk agree,
they should not let wrath and bitter
ness creep into their lives. If argu-
ments and discussions breed dissension
they would better be waived. Anthony
Trollop wrote brilliant novel in which
the hero, a man Of wide reading, good
family, and gentlemanly antecedents,
always knew he was right. His mulish
obstinacy was the rock on which his
wife g heart broke, and which wrecked
his domestic peace. If people do quar-
rel by daylight, let them forgive and
forget before they sleep. The vicissi-
tudes Of life are too many, the trials
too inevitable, and life itself is too
short for any of us to spend it in fool
ish quarrels.
There are very few Of us who do not
sometimes need to remind ourselves
that we would better be patient with
our living loved ones. The circle
shall not always remain unbroken,
While we are together It is worth while
to trample down our selfshnesss and live
with those who belong to us in some
thing better than mere peace and resig-
nation, in real Joy and gladness and II
frequent yielding little things that the
great thing in our life may be love. j

Ouarrels i'm the Home

Fairness compels the conclusion that
two or more grown persons sheltered
under the same roof, cannot invariably
think alike. ~
Nor would it be desirable that they
should. A stagnant pool is a menace
to- health. Running water, foaning
over the rocks is a pledge Of whole
some life in the locality. A stirless
day, when no breeze blows, is less slim
ulating than a day when the winds
hold jubilee. Movement, progression,
even friction of the right kind, tend
to development Of the finest type.

4 N OLD Spanish proverb runs to
~ the effect that it takes two to
make a quarrel; one can al
ways end it. This is equivalent to say
ING that one Of two who are contending
will have sufficient self-restraint and
kindness Of heart to forego the privi-
lege Of the last word. In the family
as nowhere else on earth, wills and tenn
peraments are in danger Of clashing,
and people being sure Of mutual affec-
ton express their minds with q candor
that may wound the sensitive and leave
uncomfortable memories, have know
families who were never happy when
separated, tho they were always
wretched when together: Incompati-
bility of disposition may work disaster
TO domestic peace, when everybody con-
cerned is high-minded and honorable.
"A good man may have knack of
putting his foot clumsily where it be-
hooves him to tread delicately, and
good woman may have a trick of fly
ing off the handle on slight occasion.
When such opposite forces exist In a
home, there is great need to remember
the pith Of the old proverb. It takes
two to make a quarrel.

White Duck Coats.

If white duck or linen coats are
to be worn next summer, and
whist style would suit mes Also how
to remodel tailormade tan broadcloth

Litchfeld, MINI. e. L.
The white linen skirt and coat styles
will surely be worn the coming summer.
The pony coat is the latest model for
i these and the circular skirt. Next to
white, the Alice blue and shade Of
deep pink linen seem to share equal IA
svor, the finish being black velvet collar
and cuffs or embroidered linen. Few
long linen coats are seen, but plenty Of
THE short Elton and boleros are in evil
.dence. The pony coat reaching the
hips, semiftting back and front, the
sleeves, coat, and the seams either
strapped or made in outside tailored ef-
feet would become you, and gored
skirt with seams suitably finished. I
advise this rather than the circular one
on account of it's better laundrylng
properties. If the material is cut away
i7-nder the founce, then, I fear, there is
very little change to be made. The
only thing that I can suggest would be
to trim it with braid the same shade,
or with bands of taffeta in this way:
Run three rows Of trimming down the
front width, the outer one to cover the
seam, and 50 apparently decrease the
wide effect of the gore. Then take
them along the head of the founce, the
lowest row concealing the join Of skirt
to founce Next take three rows of
braid around the bottom Of the dounce
aid up the front gore until it reaches
the trimming in place. The effect should
be a double skirt, trimmed around its
lower and front edges meeting a plain
front panel. If you wish, you car
give triple effect by running the braid
from the belt downwards, taking ii
around the hips, then commence again
and encircle the hounce, and lastly as
before suggested, for the bottom. Al

Dear Madam:--Will you please tell
me what colors can successfully wear,

and long lashes. Also how should [

head, full oval face, and plenty Of
brown hair. &c. S.
Gilmore, MINI.
You are evidently fair brunette,
and so can successfully wear cream,
ivory, yellow, pale, sapphire and navy
blues; also gray, in silver, dove and
pepper-and-salt shades. Tans, fawns,
golden brown, coral and salmon pink
are all good shades, and so are turquoise
and dark green.
The most becoming way Of dressing
the hair ssuiting a. plump, oval face, is
to part it and bring the hair loosely
down each side Of the face towards the
back, partly concealing the ears, and
loosely confined in the nape of the neck
with ribbons. It will be necessary to
fluff the hair on the forehead just about
the parting on account Of the former
being rather high. Just pull out and
fluff the short hairs, waving them if
considered necessary. '-@
