Your mpIexion in Spring.


Mime. MilliceDt Marvin, the noted spe-
cialist in beauty culture. gives some eX-
cellent advice in April Delineator to
women whose compilations are Il source
of worry owing To the sun and weather
conditions prevalent in the spring
months. Among other valuable hints,
Nine. Marvin says:
Rubbing the skin once or twice a
day with ripe tomato is said to be
most helpful in clearing the complex
ion; lettuce juice has also a beneficial
effect"
While these simple remedies are per-
haps not generally known or used, they
are none the less valuable.
Probably the safest and most salts
factory thing for general use in keeping
the skin soft and smooth and the com
plexiOn clear and brilliant is a simple
wash. which can be easily prepared al
home. The recipe is as follows:
Take two ounces of rose water. one
ounce of cologne spirits and four ounces
of eppotone. Put the eppotone in pint
Of hot water mot boiling), and after ii
is dissolved strain and let cool. Then
add the rose water and cologne spirits
Apply this wash literally every night
and morning To the face, neck and arms
after thoroughly washing in warm wa.
ter, and you will soon have a complex.

ton of every woman you know.

The shape of the Sky.

What is the apparent form of the
vault Of the sky? There is probably no
one to whose eyes II seems true hemi-
sphere. with the zenith appearing as
distant as the horizon. At sea or in a
fiat country the seeming greater dis
lance of the horizon is best shown. Pro
fessor ]. NJ. Pernter In discussing this
subject reaches the conclusion that the
form of the vault in vertical section IS
that of the segment Of circle the arc
of which subtends at the center an an
gle of the order Of forty degrees. IL
the reader will draw such a segment he
may be surprised by the amount of fiat
tening which is thus ascribed to the sky.
From this optical illusion many Curl
Gus effects arise. such as the seeming
increased magnitude Of the sun and
moon when near the horizon and the
apparently oval forms of halos and
coronas seen at low attitudes.

the tails of the coats and tucked away
the seams of jackets and skirts.

the tdllS or the coats ana tucked away
in the seams of jackets and skirts.
Many of the new coats are without
collar, with short sleeves and with in
sufficient material i'm front to meet up
on the chest, the idea being to let the
whole of the elaborate front of the
bodice be seen.
One of the most valued introductionS
in season Of pretty and seryiceable
modes is the princess dress, with a coat
of the same material. The combination,
which is made in voiles and the lighter
guimpe and a short hip length
jacket.
Narrower skirts are undoubtedly the
rage, and Paris sends word that some
skirts measure only two yards around.
One skirt was arranged so that in front
there were only two lacers to be tied
around the ankles. This sounds very
ultra; such skinny garments could be
becoming only to graceful and youthful
figures.
To arrange on auto veil becomingly
is really an art. The new scarf wells
are long and wide and, with their
filmy, clinging qualities, admit of de-
lightful drapings. One of the newest
arrangements swathes the face, envel-
ops the hat and crosses at the back of
the head, the two ends caught together
in an artistically soft four-in-hand knot
under the chin.

To Make n Waist Form.

To make waist form fit lining of
unbleached muslin to your figure over
the corset. Let it extend below the
hips. When shugly fitted and firmly
stitched tack the lower edge to n board,
cut the shape of the body around the
hips. Then fill the lining with fine
cork, obtainable at any grocer's or fruit
dealers. Fill the lining full. Sew on
buckram collar. cut to fit the neck.
Fit cardboard pieces to armholes or cut
sleeves and fill as preferred. This
should be done before you start to fill.
A paper pattern for the board may be
obtained by bending n wire around the
figure below the hips. Fasten the ends,
slip over the head. Mark the oval on
paper and cut out. For little work
and less expense you have model of
your own figure which will prove a
blessing for fitting purposes.

Driving coats generally have three
quarter length skirts, high waists and
picture sleeves.
For open front coats the waistcoat
made of pique. linen crash, cretonne,
pongee or antique brocade is in high
favor.
Dark red linen makes a girlish dress
that can be worn with q coat or lin
gerie waist. The material launders
nicely.
Ruby, which was predicted as a pop
ular color, is slowly giving place to
green, for, as the season advances, it
will be impossible to wear such warm
color.
From Paris comes the Pierrot ruche
"a tight-fitting ruche of maline or tat
feta, which ties either at the back of
the neck or under the left ear with a
big bow Of ribbon.
Pockets are again the fashion. One
finds them in every possible position

Rebulses for Rude Women.

Men often confess to deliberate plans
for checking feminine rudeness. When
women tread upon their heels and do
not take the. trouble to apologize, they
sometimes wait for an opportunity and
pay them back in similar coin. adding
polite word of regret meant to teach
them lesson. When women refuse to
lift trailing skirts men walk upon them
regardless of damage, but with apollo
gies which can not be overlooked by
any woman with the least pretense to
good breeding. A woman who attempts
to crowd into seating space that will
not nearly accommodate her fares we'll

The Wedding Gown.


Exaggerated simplicity is the keynote
of modern wedding gowns.
Often the silk is embroidered in gold
or silver thread
Lace at neck and sleeves is, however,
all that is needed.
Ivory white satin continues to be the
favorite material.
Nevertheless, messaline, chiffon and
olga cloth are all used.
Satin crepe de chine makes an eco
nOmical selection.
There has been a return recently to
the court train.
A high collar should be placed on
the yoke of the gown.
Practically any length Of sleeve Is
now permitted.
Whatever their length, they should
be extremely soft.
