MAKING THE MOST

Every American woman considers a
tailored suit a necessary part of her
wardrobe, but the woman of small

OUTING COSTUMES FOR THESE BRIGHT D4YS
Those Dreadful Stockings

Yes, but they viii turn up every week
as sure as the laundry is done. But,
after all, darning stockings is not such
a terrible ordeal If one win only 90 at
IL in the right way. So many women
gaze at a Zig hole mournfuIy, and then
with a sigh, drop the darning egg into
the offending stocking and proceed TO
stretch the latter over the egg until the
hole has reached its utmost capacity
Gust for why II is difficult to discover,
and then weave back and forth. back
and forth, till the hole has an inserted
patch resembling a gridiron land, one
woulG imagine, just about as comfort
able to walk on). Many a time has the
writer pitied the little victims Of such
methods.
In the first place NOV this may sound
stranger. a hole is never quite so large
as it looks. In the wash II had become
stretched and out Of shape II, then,
instead OF stretching 1t still further
over the egg IL is humOTed little, the
edges being smOOthed out and pulled
gently toward each other, n will dimin-
ish percepubly in size.
The next thing is 10 find out in which
direction IL has worn the most. some
holes by a little manipulation can be re-
duced 10 a mere slit. When this IS the
case, with ordinary fine sewing cotton,
draw the slit evenly together, not with
overcasung, but Ike lacing a shoe. This
can then be darned neatly, and IL VIII
never be noticed by the WeareT If fine
darniEg cotton is used. Why do wO-
men use a cord nearly as thick as wrap
ping yarn 10 darn material which is
woven Of the finest web, There is no
dOubt that many an adult can lay the
blame Of COrns upon the outrageous
darns with which their little feet were
tortured in childhood.
II the barge hole be round its dimen-
siOns can be materially lessened by
fine oTercasting, which should be drawn
up as tight as possible short Of pucker-
ing.
Lastly, II a stocking has reached the
point where large darns are all that
will save the day, Il is far better 20 in

an old one. An entire new sole can be
inserted in this way. or Just new toes,

If ever there is time when a demand
is made upon the physical strength Of
a woman. it is when business occupies
her during the day, and in the even
ing her social Diversions Such women
should give at least half an hour each
day 70 complete relaxation. Late in the
afternoon is the best time. anywhere
from 4.30 to O'Clock. One Of the best
methods of resting is TO take hot bath
and then get into bed, quite as II 1t
We're bedtime. II one is only able to
spend but ten minutes in bed this treat
ment viii be found wonderfully helpful.
When the hands are black with CRIME
do not try TO remove It with soap and
water, but rub on them some good
cream and let II remain on the hands
a few minutes, TO loosen the dirt. Then
I'LL a bowl with hot water and use a
good soap and a brush with rather firm
brfstles. II another suds is needed. use

do not leave the CRIME in the skin,

Cleaning RhmesfoHeS.

Rhinestones, so say the dealers, may
be cleaned with ordinary chalk. Pow

setting. Let the chalk remain for
time then brush off every particle with
a moderately stiff brush, and polish with
a chamois skin.

Beauty Hints

Few women seem to know of the rest
shat results from changing the shoes as
soon as one goes indoors. There are
two reasons for resting power produced
BY changing the shoe; one is that in the
street are worn heavier shoes than are
required for the house, the other is thGt
a slight difference in shaping permits
the pedal cords and muscles to relax.
Shoes for the street should never be
worn indoors any longer than is neces-
sary 10 change them.
