Heart Shape One Of the
Daintiest and Most Popu-
lar of the New Designs
sNUBs SHE BEsTows ON THE
UNFORTUNATE BUYER - TO
CLEAN FINE sILvER-How TO
REST QUICKLY

pillows which are being exhibited IN the
shops that make speciality Of infants
)e!oagings. Everything about these
..etty head rests is Of the most dainty
rider, the mat of which they are
made being only the finest and sheerest
Sbtainable and the esllbseidery done in
l1ftest French c0rson.
Among the different shapes popularly
.sed. the heart-shaped pillow is perhaps
the best liked. for the reason that it COM
b;nes so much of sentiment about it. Be
Jide the shape. which is symbolical, the
mttern worked over its surface shows
sways of tiny forget-me-nots done in
WAite cotton.
All the embroidery and decoration on
these pillows are done in white as being
especially typical of the innocence of ba-
byhood. In some cases, the work is more
solidly done. but there should be nothing
that is harsh to hurt the tender head
of the baby. About the heart~shaped pill
low is a three-inch wide ruffle of the
finest handkerchief linen. of which the
slip is made, helnstitched about the edge.
Real torchon lace edges the carriage pl-
low. which is also hemstitched in three
quarter inch hem.
A pretty crib pillow is oblong with
ruffie at each end only, and is eubroider-
ed in an attractive design of butterflies.
Another design shows swamp grasses
with fieur-de-lis and summer insects sip
ping the honey from them.
In every case the slips are separate,
being buttoned on, the pillow slipped in
from an opening at the back so that it
can be removed at any time when the
slip needs laundering. One can pay al
most any price for these infant accessor-
les, but even the cheapest seems high to
a woman with small purse Probably
an exceedingly simple design can be pus-
chase for So, but nothing for less than
that price. Most women prefer making
and embroidering their own pillows in
anticipation of the little new conner and
if this is done they can be fotten up
much more reasonably, and the work is
always a labor Of love-
A pretty design, ESPECIALLY suitable for
a small baby, is that composed of en-
pire wreaths, which. interlaced with per-
hsps loops and festoons of ribbon, make
a most attractive pattern Down is used
for the pillow part and should always be
of the lightest and softest obtainable.
A shopping bugbear which every wom-
an has to look out for is the scornful re
ection that the sales person casts upon
everything which you ask for that she
doesn't happen to have.
If it IS something so new that it is not
yet commonly kept in stock she viii say:
"We had thosoe last year but they did'n+
take, so We haven't ordered any. No
body aske for them, you know" The
son probably is that nobody happens
to know about them yet, and the chances
are that the shopper who persists is re-
warded by finding them in another store
where she meets with an entirely differ
ent idea as to their being desirable.
1t is the same way with any little indi-
vidual matter of dress that you want to
carry out. or something old that you have
thought how to make fit in with new
use. The answer is that it is entirely
out; We haven't carried that for two or
three years.
Ii seems almost absurd tks t one can be
influenced by SO little Thing. bat the
truth is that this attitude can be made so
rnfattering that it is an extremely hard
thing to stand up against. Probably
there are more women who lose sight of
lue1F OfiSAHdl 4Htestf1u aNO AdhS soh1t-
thing else that is recommended by the
girl than there are those upon whom it
has no effect and who go after their
original request until they find it or
something near it.
You may have read that the Partisan
dressmakers are reviving "moire velour"
for instance, and as it always was fa-
vorite fabris of yours you decide that it
will be just the thing for an evening
coat, and so forth rejoicing in the hope
that you may find it cheap because not
vet in demand.
IN your encounter with the first sales
person you may be either convinced that
you are to be pitied for wanting any
