SUEDE. Isle, AND SILK
GLOVES IN NIL COLORS WORN
DIX Not So Durat e the Lisle-White Gloves More
Striking and Effective Than CoIors to

Though / have mentioned ii before, Il
may be worth reminding glove buyers
that If small discs OF court plaster are
moistened and placed inside each finger
tip before they show signs OF wear, rho
gloves will give double the service. The
flesh color will answer for those that
are neither black nor white.
In the kid variety, glace is the most
popular and despite all the evidences OF
the craze for every shade OF tGn-and
every second woman seems to be wear
ing this color-an authority assures me
that black kid is still the best seller.
Whether this is due to weather condl-
tiOns or nOt-peOple stu wearing dark
Sowns-he could not say. Next to black
came leather color. then the lighter
shades of tan. White has a steady sale
but mostly for evening use. Colored kid
gloves have lost favor, although a few
women still prefer them to match the
costume.
In my opinion white gloves are much
moro effective than those matching the
gowns. and i may say In better taste.

The Making Of Starch

There are two ways OF making starch,
IND it is just a question OF convenience
and suitability which would be best.
One kind Is called boiled starch or boil
Ing water starch: the other cold water
starch.
Now il is only when starch OF any
. hind comes to boiling heat that IL has
, any stifening property however. there
fore. in the one case the stiffening
property Is brought out by the boiling
water, in the other case the stiffening
property is only brought out by the heat
OF the iron.
All articles that are heavy. or that
are wanted 10 be very stiff. or. where
a very hot iron can be used, are better
starched with cold water starch. In
case Of lace, fine or sewed muslin. or
any articlee that should he flexible. a
hot iron would not do at all. and so the
starch would not be cooked. but would
khave d fioury appearance Have every
thing at hand before commencing TO

Lift the irons as little as possible and
iron quietly. at the same time press
well. Ironing must be done in a good
light. requires a great deal OF practice
and cannot be done well unless done
with speed.
There is an art in the way clothes
are lifted and moved about. Handle
