How 10 Smile

A smile is not contOrtion. This
statement would seem scarcely neces-
sary were IL not for the fact that one so
constantly sees men and women distort-
ing their faces in. a spasmodic effort to
seem friendly or witty. Ridiculous as
IL sounds, there is a proper way even
10 smile. First Of all, do not smile at
all unless there Is real occa sion for II.
Next smile slowly. Next, do not grin.
And. last. do not simper. Abolish the
sarcastic smile, the smile of CONTEMPT
or patronage. the smile of sycophancy.
That Is to say. realize that a sweet.
amiable smile can come only from n
sweet, amiable personality-and .'go
thou and do likewise"

FinlShlngO Tailored Skirt

One Of the difficulties that the anna
teur dressmaker has to encounter is
the flushing OF the skirt made from
cloth or similar material To get the
proper result, the edge Of the skirt
should be bound with soft silk seam
binding. then turned under to the
depth Of the hem. Making an fnttIrn
after the manner of the ordinary hem
means an unsightly ridge when the
skirt is pressed.
