Towels as Bureau Scarfs

- LEANLINESS is the watchword
q for all boudoir fittings, and the
~ very latest covering for the bu-
reau top is fancy toweling, that can
be sent to the laundry and come out
looking as fresh and immaculate as a
new scarf. However, the patterned
towelings, both in huckabuck and satin
damask, are quite as Irresistible as any
elaborate scarf could possibly be, and,
in fact, many of them show equally as
fine embroideries and lace insets.
AS an example of the latter variety,
a satin damask towel, splendid with
dull rosebud patternings, has either hem
finished at its head by row of coarse
linen colored Cluny lace, the latter car
rying out the rosebud idea in its de-
sign. Alencon and linen crochet lace
also adorn handsome pieces of toweling.
The latter, with it's delicate, scraggy
thread traceries, is employed in an ecru
coloring as an edging for the bottom of
a rather thin quality Of damask. and

formed SO conspicuous a portion Of the
adornment of candlestick and candel-
labrum. The effect is softer and more
becoming than gas or electricity, and it
has the added charm Of being within
the reach Of almost every woman. To
have candlelight, a hostess need not
necessarily have expensive sticks, tho
if bser purse will permit Of it, she may
put any amount Of money into them.
The tall brass candlestick has come
much into vogue of late, especially in
studio apartments, altho during the
last few months it has been a notice
able feature Of the drawing room, liv-
ing room or library, that it has either
on it's mantel, it's bookshelves, piano
or wallbrackets, pair or more Of sticks
with lighted candles. Placed before a
mirror on mantlepiece, pair of can
dlesticks are effective and give an
amazingly satisfactory light.
The old-fashioned brass candelabrum
with whirling branches has come into
evidence again as have the brass brack-
cts which may be pulled out from the
wall for twelve or sixteen inches when
in use and pressed back into a short
bracket during the day. Up in the at
tics there are probably many of the
latter sort Of candleholders which could
be made presentable with little clean
ing.
Even the old snuffers used years and
years ago have been resurrected. Many
of these found in the better class of
shops are genuine antiques and re-
semble nothing so much as heavy
brass or silver pair Of shears with a
metal box attached to one point. Some
Of the snuffers are made from ham
mered brass, some from iron. ~
The fat, squatty little candlestick,
large enough to hold a plumbers can
die, has put in appearance, too, with its
brass extinguisher attached by means
! Of small chain. This is the cleanest
sort Of candlestick to use unless snuff
fer is always lying conveniently by
to snuff off the wick and prevent wax
from tumbling down over the stick and
onto the table.
In Damascus brass are found many
candlesticks Of unique design and many

each towel is as choice bit of linen az
any housewife could ask for.
For practical, hard service, the towels
having borders of close Russian drawn
work are most desirable. They are
rather plain in comparison with lace
trimmed toweling, but their simple ele-
gance commends itself more strongly to
the woman of quiet tastes, and when
spread over a daintily colored sateen
lining they show off to remarkable ad-
vantage The drawnwork which they
display is far removed from the loose,
frayed effects of the cheap variety OF
towel, and, while it resembles the lacey
appearance of the Mexican drawnwork,
it has much more body and frmness.
In the realm of huckabuck towellng,
the yard lengths finished with hand
wrought scalloped ends continue to hold
first place among brides linen, and
when ornamented with wide initials or
a monogram, they serve admirably to
cover polished dressing tables. Broad
monograms that extend nearly across
the end of the towel are essential to all
up-to- date bridal linen, and are stun
ming ornamentation in themselves.
Huckabuck toweling that is finished
with hemstitched ends not infrequently
displays q row or two of hand-embroid-
cred discs above the hemstitching.
These are usually the size of nickel,
and are worked in mercerized cotton.
Should lace insertion also trim the
towel. the cotton matches the tint Of
the lace.
Finest Of all fancy toweling which
can be made to serve as table and bu-
reau coverings are the thin damasks,
with or without inwoven designs of
satin finish, and having at the ends
ten-inch fringe of linen thread in the
natural color. A pattern worked in
pale shade of colored cotton often
adorns the head of the fringe and lace
braids in crisscross designs form an in.
sertion above the embroidery.

Looking Farther Ahead She Also Says What Will Be Correct
Wear-She Will Give You Individual Advice You Ask

Miss Lee, if you will answer the cues
tions. B. L. F.
Could you not get wash that would
remedy the large pores9 A few drops
Of tincture Of benzoin added to the
water when washing the face is help
full. If your face is quite fat as well
as round, dressing the hair on the top
Of the head is good. Draw all your
hair loosely to the crown of the head,
then braid it, and form ring with it
on the top Of the head, the braid stand
ing on edge, then tuck the end Of the
braid under the commencement Of it.
Pull the hair out at the sides Of the
face and again slightly downwards, to
the nape Of the neck until the effect
is becoming from all sides.
In regard to colors, you can wear
strong golden browns and golden tans,
navy blue, claret, red, ivory, warm
grays, yellows, orange and red tan.
Navy blue relieved by red will suit you,
and SO will pale shade Of coral pink.
Genuine pink should not be worn, nei-
Their should green, mauve, puppies or
genuine pale blue. The pastel shades
of blue, however, may be attempted
Black, unless relieved with cream about
the face, is fatal. Plain colors and
hair line stripes will be better than
checks and mixtures, and long lines
should be strictly followed. No hori
zontal trimmings Of any kind should
be chosen. Sharply gored or pleateC
skirts may be chosen, and the waists
on the Gibson style Of formation will
best become you Elbow sleeves may
be worn, as I imagine you have nice
plump arms. Of course, this Is just
general advice suiting your needs Il
T can help you more individually, ant
you would like to write again, please
tell me your exact measurements.

The pretty checked woolens in soft
grays and fawns are decidedly popular
this spring, altho not to the entire ex-
clusion of the plain cloths. The noted
goods, are, however, the more girlish
and certainly give better service than
the plain materials. So, unless, for
very best wear the checks will be the
better choice You are evidently Of
the "between colors' type and so
should be able to wear with success all
also pale pink, pale green, nile, old
deep gray, cream, black and white.
Fawns, tans and putty colors should
be strictly avoided. Surprising you
choose one Of the checks, then it must
be something decided and clear, as
brown and cream; or brown and blue,
with dash Of ivory, not the. indef-
mite colorings. The skirt with the in
verified pleat down the front held down
with row Of small buttons will be-
come you. It closes under similar
pleat in the back, and is circular over
the hips, or an inverted pleat may be
arranged on each hip and stitched down
for several inches. This is a good plan,
for the amateur dressmaker, when the
skirt refuses to fit over the hips, AMI
is to be preferred infinitely to " darts. -
The, military coats are very smart, made
semiftting by means of a seam down
the back and a seam from each shout
der, then closing single breasted, all
the seams being strapped with the
goods and the neck and front edges
(vest effect) finished by band of vel
vet, it's tone in keeping with the cloth
and strapped in as on seams. The coat
just covers the hips and the sleeves are
coat shaped, ending in cuffs matching
the vest. For smart, practical suit,
this is an excellent model.

ideas for Summer.

Dear Miss Lee-Would you please
give me an idea how to make summer
dress out of goods like sampled I
would like it to be made to look dressy.
I am 10 years old, height feet, waist
measure, % inches; dark brown hair,
brown eyes and fair complexion.
What would you suggest for spring
suit, and what color for lady Of 33
years, height feet, waist measure "a,
dark hair, hazel eyes and a fair COM
plexion9 Will velvet be used for
spring suits7 M. B.
Aberdeen, s. D.
The sample Of pale green silky-look-
ing wash goods will make up into a
very pretty frock. I should have a
princesse, made to fit the figure by lay
ing in very small tucks about and be-
low the waist line, and finish the bot
tom by hem and a group Of tucks.
The material will now be tucked on
the shoulders, so that you get a long
line from there to the hem, and the
neck be cut away in square, both
back and front, for wear with lingerie
chemisettes. Finish the neck with lace
banding OVERLAPPING black velvet, tying
the latter in a bow at the left-hand
corner. Have the sleeves in two puffs
divided by shirring, and bring in at
elbow in bands Of lace and black vel
vet. This will be lovely little frock
and one easily Numbered. I do not
suggest trimming, as the figured ma
terial is sufficient in itself.
Regarding your second question there
is wide choice as to material, plain
cloths and mixtures being equally pop
ular, 50 that the needs of the gown
will better decide the matter. For a
best dress, the plain cloths are prefer
able, to say nothing Of their utility as
an afternoon house gown, when a tweed,
say, would not be considered correct.
Gray is very much worn this spring
and SO is navy blue. The latter in a
lightweight broadcloth made with a
three-piece skirt, the narrow front
width joined to the remaining cores to
form an inverted box pleat stitched
almost to the knees and closed in the
back under a similar pleat, will give
the exact effect Of the new circular
skirt, yet without it's difficulties of con.
struction. Strappings Of the cloth may
trim the bottom, or motifs Of blue fibe,
braid be appliqued as preferred. The

peau de sole is a good investment.
While at first glance it may seem to be
expensive, yet such coat can give
no end Of service afterwards. Being
large and roomy, it makes an excellent
evening wrap, or for day wear over
pretty, thin frocks when required, and
Is always dressy-looking.
l should have square yoke, and the
back made with box pleat in Vatican
effect down the center, fitting the form
fairly by means Of underarm seams,
and allowing plenty Of fulness to
spring from the pleat below the waist
line. Arrange thee fronts with a box
pleat on each, near the closing, stitch
ing them to the waistline only and from
there just pressed, to fall as they will.
The yoke may be outlined with a
passementerie trimming if you so de-
sire, and the neck be finished by a fat
or rolling collar. The closing is in
visible, (hooks and eyes.) Fairly full
sleeves pleated to form deep cuffs end
in band matching the collar. The
coat may be half or three-quarter
length. Another material suggested is
a black poplin in a good quality, tho
there are many fine Wooden fabrics to
choose from. You see, you need some
thing light in weight, yet not too cold,
and a material that will not require
much trimming, or fussy style in or,
der to have it look well, as you wish
the garment to be unobtrusive, so, if
you will bear this in mind when buy,
ing, think it will help you. Not
knowing your height, the best advice
I can give you regarding a hat is to
get one Of the semi-ready.to-wear kind
and trim high or fat as found becom
ing. If you are tall have it fairly

as separate wrap, but should prefer
one of the heavier rajahs or Burlin-
ghame silks in the natural shades. This
would be smarter than linen, and could
well take its place, while the linen
would not look we'll on some &C.
easions, when the silk would be correct.
should have an empire style. The
body of the coat is full and gathered to
square yoke. Trim the lower edge Of
the yoke with band Of black taffeta
overlaid with fancy trimming braid in
black and white dashed with red. The
neck will be finished with a rolling col
lar Of the goods edged with tiny knife
pleated frill in black taffeta, headed by
a bit of the trimming and be closed
with black taffeta buttons set into oxy-
died rims. If you cannot find these
ready, they cost very little made to
order at the houses where pinking is
done, and add no end to the style of the
coat. The sleeves may be full and
baggy, thrce-quarter length, ending in
fussy looking cuffs, matching the collar.
If silk is too expensive, carry out the
design in good brown linen, fine in
weave. 1t is sometimes called brown
holland and has the gloss Of silk. A
plain stiff hat of the sailor type usually
accompanies white linen suits. The
small sailors in embroidered linen laid
on plain, will be much seen this summer,
and stamped linens for making these
hats may be bought. They are mounted
over a wire frame.
