Glossy Locks Now Favored.

There was a time when FUZZY locks,
the sort that the novelists could refer
TO as being blown about the heroine's
face in fragrant strands had entire
ly vanQuished those former ideals
which obtained in the days when our
grandmother's primly parted hair was
immortalized by the daguerrotypist.
Nowadays, however, the glossy head
has regained it's former prestige, and
more than ever before must locks be
smooth and shining, Brilliantine-
that oil so often poured on troubled
waves-is being rivaled in effect by
an old practice revived. In every
smart French hairdresser's shop are
lengths of fine, supple silk to be seen
in constant use. With these the hair
is stroked and rubbed until II shines
with an almost metallic brilliance,
quite different from the smooth shine
given by brilliantine. AS well as Civ
ing satiny surface to the hair II is
said to be most beneficial. for silk
is full of electricity and this promotes
the growth of the hair.

loue-cloth will launder as softly and
wear much better than some of the
sheer mercerlzed fabrics.
Cheap laces are the worst possible
investment. especially point de paris
Stick to German val. torchon, and just
now. if you are so fortunate as TO
know the Irish stitch. an edging and
insertion of handmade Irish crochet.
Generally speaking, the tendency Of
up-to-date lingerie is toward extreme
sheerness of material, simplicity in de-
sign and exquisite care in fitting The
princess and draped skirts both re-
quire perfectly-fitted underwear, and
the woman of well-developed figure, as
well as her heavyweight sister, is 60
ing in for tights, and carefully avoid
ing frills of any sort.
The woman who wears old.style
lingerie selects well-cut designs. such
as combination suits, which include
drawers and corset covers, or corset
covers and short skirts, princess slips,
etc
One of the distinct fads with women
of well-lined purses is the soft satin
skirt. which has completely sup
planted the taffeta skirts. And really
this is not so expensive as 1t sounds.
good grade of messaline can be
bought at sales for 49 cents a yard
For evening wear a princess slip OF
white messaline will do duty for sew
eral frocks, white batiste, or one OF
delicate tint, black and white or
even black voile, marquisette or sim
liar weave The woman of middle age
who wears much black, gray, laven-
der, etc, will take great comfort and
find good use for a drop skirt OF sill
very gray messaline.
These satin skirts are fitted perfect
ly over the hips and finished with q
seton flounce of the same material.
This can be ornamented with hand
run tucks and embroidered in self-tone
or harmonious tints with dots or rings.
Lace is combined with the white
and delieately tinted skirts, but the
black and subdued colorings show em-
broidery OF feather stitching rather
than lace.
China silk is also in great demand
for drop skirts or petticoats and In the
36-inch width cuts TO excellent advan-
tage, For dressy skirt. net, lace and
ribbon are combined for trimming.
Another remarkable feature of the
season in lingerie is the quantity OF
colored materials used Prominent
among these are what is known as the
Dolly Warden sets, made from daintily
igured lawns and batistes, trimmed
with val lace and set of by matching
ribbons, The illustration shows a
square-necked negligee developed
from handy remnant of embroidered
fiouncing, delicate lavender on white
The neck is cut square and finished
with galloon to match the fiouncing.

FOR THE HOSTESS
TWO NEW AND PLEASING FORMS

Novel Shower Arranged for Prospec

Bazar an Effective Means
of Raising Money.

A prospective autumn bride has just
been the recipient of shower that
has the merit of being practical, ac-
ceptable and inexpensive. three very
important items. 1t all came about
in this way: A young matron was
heard TO remark that her greatest
need when she first went to house
keeping was actually for rags or some
thing with which to clean.
She said she didn't exactly like to
give her cleaning lady" hand-em-
broidered towels and drawn-work dol
lies, so she had to go out and buy
cheap material by the yard, for win
dows and interior cleaning.
This was the hostess cue, so she
asked eight other young matrons 10

Lride-to-be took home with he:: A

the most fashionable style of wearing
the sash. Very supple satin, crepe,
chiffon or some equally soft and
gracefully draping fabric is used for
these sashes.
Black sashes of the sort shown in
the cut are extremely effective when
properly employed, and on black and
white gowns are one of the most eff
fective features of the trimming. They
are also used on figured and striped
materials which have touch of black
