Split Ends of Hair.

It is essential for the proper growth
IT the hair that the split ends should
be clipped off with the scissors. The
easiest way to do this is to separate
the hair into strands, going to work
at it Systematically, beginning at the
front on one side and taking one
strand after another around to the
front of the other side. Twist each
strand tightly and the hairs of diff
ferert length will stand out so that
they may be easily clipped. This is
better than singing the hair by
means of lighted tapers passed quick
ly along the strand so that the hairs
which stand out will be burned of.
Unless this is done by one who is an
expert the other hairs will become
burned and the hair will become un.
wen.

Simple Semi-Fitted Coat

making the coat at homer"
These two questions are worth an
swering in detail.
Certainly the best investment for
semi-dressy wrap, which can be worn
over a number of one-piece or two
piece dresses to church, calling, recep
tons and perhaps even to the theater
or evening function over an evening
gown, is something long, simple and
inconspicuous.
The separate wrap is, above all
things, long and graceful. Simplicity
of design is less apt to attract atten-
ton and prove that it's wearer has but
one good outdoor wrap than the moro
pronounced patterns, loaded with TRIM
ming
Next to black broadcloth comes vel
vet, and this is particularly effective
over silk or broadcloth suits. 1t is not
SO good, however, over coarse cloth
mixtures. Silk wraps are never a
good investment for women who must
use one coat or cloak very hard dur
ing an entire season, and neither is
silk warm enough fabric for the av-
erage climate in this country.
So much for the first question. Now
for the second.
The success of making an outer
garment at home depends upon two
things-the tailoring ability of the
home sewer and the quality of the
fabric employed The woman who i'm
AGNES that she can cut the price of q
$50 garment in two by making it at
home is greatly mistaken.
She will do wonderfully we'll if she
gets it for $40 This $40 saving does
not represent the retailers profit by
any means. because the retailer pays
for the wholesalers labor and style"
| Say you wish to duplicate black
broadcloth wrap trimmed with heavy
silk braid and ornaments Just what
will it cost? For coat in two-thirds
or three-fourths length you will re-
quire at least four yards of broadcloth
So inches wide.
If you are very tall and you use the
full-length sleeve now in favor, you
may require even more, according to
the pattern selected. This will cost
$40 Your lining, in quality of satin
which will wear, will cost you at least
six dollars more, for 1t does not pay
to use slimsy satin for lining, and taf-
feta is little used in coat Innings this
year. Add to this at least five dollars
for findings, cords, braid buttons, etc,
and some outside tailoring which is
absolutely essential to the correct At
and set of the garment.
So, YOU see, without your time and
labor, you will invest at least $21.
showing a saving of nine dollars on
the Investment And to make this a
real satisfactory saving you must ex-
ercise great care in the tailoring and
finish of the garment.
A novelty in lining for wraps to be
nsed for dressy wear is the white, pale
gray or delicate mode lining, which
will not soil light frocks, run to the
waist line only, and then the tails OF
the long coat or wrap are lined with
Belf-tone.
For instance, a /. black broadcloth
wrap to be worn with light waists OF
frocks will be lined through the
sleeves and waist sections with white
satin and the tails with black satin.
Heaviness is the general attribute
of the upto-datc wrap, as will be seen
by referring to to-days Illustrations

wraps on exhibition at late fall open
