Newest White Waists,

The newest and smartest white
waists are made of crepe de chine.
tucked or gathered or plated quite
like those of lingerie, and sometimes
decorated with lace or hand embroi-
derry. Such waists are being worn by
all the fashionable Parisiennes in
place of the lace or lingerie waists.
ana are considered decidedly more
chic. Usually they are made up over
q lining of thin taffeta or china silk.
which gives them the necessary
body" Without some such aid the
crepe de chine waist clings rather I'M
pleasantly to the figure, revealing I'M
beautiful angles quite as readily and
unhndly as a superfuity of flesh,
and somehow lacking the air of smart
ness that one instinctively looks for
in waist intended for wearing with
a coat suit.

pretend to drape it. 1t was declared
some weeks ago that many Of the
new evening bodices were being made
without sleeves, CT practically so, and
this statement still holds good, but
side by side with these sleeveless
bodlces we have others which show
Angel draperies of chiffon, tulle or
other transparent material. These
draperies fall low under the arms,
and thus form most becoming back
ground for the delicate white flesh. On
the outer side they are open right up
to the shoulder, but sometimes a light
clasp is arranged, to hold the fragile
material together, just above the ell
bow. Women with thin arms will
lind sleeves of this kind infinitely fiat
tering, and the same applies to those
whose arms are not quite so white
as they could wish,
Apropos the latter let me suggest
that a regular course of friction with
olive oil at night will do very much.

"Greek" GoWninu.

Greek lines are what the fashion
makers are seeking, and few women
there are who can carry off the style.
The models sent here from foremost
French houses, notably from one ia
nous house, are styled classical" but
the fact is they are modern in every
sense of the word. The skirts have
high Wristbands on empire lines, but
are fitted as closely as they can be
and still allow for any movement of
joints under them, and this is not en-
pire and neither is it Greek; it is diiL
tinctly modern French. Many of the
skirts are untrimmed, but a large
number Of them have tunics, which al
ways have long lines falling in with
the scanty folds of the skirt.
The fashion is for ultra dressers,
women who can afford to wear an ex.
pensive costume a few times and then
abandon it, and they must have per.
feet figures.

LACE scARFs FOR THE NECK.
Provide Protection for the Decorations
of the Throat.

One of the dress difficulties of the
year is the discoloring of white neck
filings by the black furs which are
so much worn. A silk or lace scarf
OF some kind, to protect the white col
lar or guimpe, is almost a necessity.
Small silk lace scarfs can be had
in almost any size and quality for this
purpose, and the mousseline, crepe
and silk scarfs are also serviceable.
Such a scarf is small, covering only
the back and sides of the collar, the
ends tucking inconspicuously down in
the coat front.
Knitted silk scarfs in pale colors
and white have come in this year for
this purpose. They have silk-fringed
ends and look very well, besides amply
protecting the spotlessness of the
throat decorations.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1908-03-04
Scsrfs in Favor

Scarfs will be worn more and more
as spring approaches and furs are
packed away, so it's well to be pre-
pared.
Very pretty and most serviceable are
the new motor scarfs," made like the
knitted or crocheted scarfs, but worn
about the neck over the collar to pro-
tect it from dust and to give some
little warmth. Special spools of silk
three times the size of the ordinary
spools are to be had for these scarfs,
so that the silk will not have to be
Joined anywhere. Made up in white
or any light shade the motor scarfs
are most attractive and are to be
worn by men as we'll as women to
protect the collar from the dye of a
fur coat. They are from four to six
inches in width and about a yard in
length. A two-inch fringe Of the silk
makes an attractive finish to this
smart scarf.

SMART COMBS AND PINS.
Seasons Styles Are Adapted to Both
Blondes and Brunettes.

The plain amber-colored combs and
pins for the blonde girl and those in
dark shell for the brunettes are en-
tirely correct this winter.
The combs are smarter when made
with plain tops without knobs or other
decorations.
The button pins are used where the
hair is worn on top of the head The
top part Of these pins turns back over
the hair in fiat piece of shell like a
large button.
The effect is very good.
For keeping flying ends of the hail
at home are shown corkscrew pms
OF amber-strange looking things that
screw into the hair in spiral fashion,
so that it would seem that they never
would come out again. But they are,
in fact, comparatively easy of adjust
ment.

The Gil should first be thoroughly well
rubbed into the skin with firm cir
cular motion, and the arms should
then be briskly frictioned. from
shoulder to wrist, with a rubber skin
brush. The action of the brush should
be: regular and sufficiently prolonged.
Inc blood will quickly come to the
surface of the skin and the arms will
assume most healthy shade of Grim
son. After the friction another coat
or Oil should be lightly rubbed on.
and then, just before going to bed,
piece CT clean wadding passed over the
skin, to remove any oil which has
not been absorbed. If this course be
continued regularly for several weeks
a great change win be seen in the
condition of the arms The skin Will
become softer and finer, and the arms
themselves will look beautifully white
IN the evening. Just tic same treat
ment is excellent for the neck and
shoulders, but care must be taken to
make the frictions in a circular man.

How to Wear Colors.

The authenticated woman looks best
in the browns that shade into the
tones of her hair or in the rich, dark
green's.
The yellow-haired girl can wear red.
The greens, too, are delightful on her;
also certain yellows and blacks. White
is less becoming.
Blues, particularly the pale and cold
blues, are best adapted to brunettes
whose color is warm.
The woman whose hair is dull and
whose complexion and eyes lack bril-
liancy may still be attractive if she
wears frocks that harmonic with her
eyes and hair. Usually unfinished
materials in browns, blacks and Ger.
tain shades of blues that match the
eyes are kindest to her.

and hopes to wear one with success
The fashionable petticoat not only fits
tightly throughout it's length, but il
lacks the flare at the bottom which
has been fashionable so long. 1t is
now necessary to strike a happy mean
between the aforesaid flare and the
uncomfortable sinking in around the
feet which is so Objectionable IN a
petticoat. A good way in which to
achieve this happy compromise is to
have the foundation of the skirt-that
is the lower edge-made Of a material
that has some body, such as a soft
taffeta, and the trimming. if it be in
the shape of a flounce, made of softer
material-lace, chiffon or an inter-
mingling of both. Satin is, of course,
softer than taffeta, and the flounce
may also be made of soft satin, al
though lingerie and chiffon fiounces
are even more fashionable.
Satin petticoats for evening wear
are made with flounces of net trimmed
with filet lace, or the founces instead
of being trimmed with lace, have pat
tern formed of narrow satin or velvet
ribbon made on the lace a very effec-
tive pattern made on a flounce of open
net was of squares or blocks, the rib
bon being made into a lattice work
to make the blocks. Blocks of net
so trimmed alternate with those of the
plain net.
Other skirts having net or chiffon
fiounces were trimmed with embroid-
cry done in narrow ribbon. This is
favorite trimming for brocade petit
coats. A blue Powered brocade petit
coat was trimmed with a chiffon
founce having an embroidery in mar
row blue ribbon. Spangles are fire.
quently used with this ribbon en-
broidery for an evening petticoat.
1t is also a fashion of the moment
to trim brccade petticoats with floun-
ces of net having an applique decora-
ton which has been cut from the bro.
cade.
Petticoats for street wear are made
with very soft flounces trimmed with
self-colored embroidery. They match
the skirt in every instance except
when black is worn. and then some
times black and white underskirts
are used.

and work the stalks with embroidery
silk in cording-stitch. The bow which
ties the stalks is worked partly with
ribbon and partly embroidery silk.
When the work is finished the silk
must be pinned out on a board over
damp cloth to remove all Fuckers
caused by the working; let it remain
until the cloth is quite dry. Now
line the inside with piece of flannel
and over that silk. At the straight
end put pocket of silk with a gath
cred heading quite across one end:
sew a strap of ribbon across higher
up, and stitch it down to form loops
for scissors, thimble, packets of need
les. etc. Finish the entire edge with
silk cord composed of all the colors
used. A loop of elastic is sewn under
the pointed end, and a button sewn on
the other end so that when the case
is folded over in three the loop and
button fasten it.

FASCINATING Rosettes-

Most fascinating are the rose ros.
cites which every one from the pro.
fessional designer to the girl who re-
models her own frocks is using.
They're simple enough to make. The
material is cut on the bias, then fold
ed around and around, beginning in
the middle, until one reaches the de-
sired size. Silk, satin, gauze and
chiffon are appropriate materials, and,
in addition to being used as hat trim
ming, evening frocks are most success
fully decorated with them. They catch
waist drapery, hold lace founces and
sometimes finish the ends of ribbon
strands.

Lace Undersleeves.

No waist is at the moment consid.
cred entirely satisfactory unless it has
cuffs or lower sleeves of lace. The
lace sleeve may reach from far above
the elbow or it may be only a deep
unlined cuff.
The favorite lace for these under
sleeves is filet, but many other sorts
OF lace are used. If the lace is lined
with black chiffon or black net it
brings out the design to great advaa-
tage. Black lace of an open pattern.
preferably filet, is lined with white.

the undersleeves and extremely be.

BRAID USED ON LINENS.
Notable Characteristic of the Newest
Suits in Fashion.

One of the most noticeable charac-
teristics of the new linen suits that
are being made for southern wear is
the use of bands of colored linen on
the white suits. These bands OF linen
are trimmed with white cord put on in
quite elaborate designs. The suits
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1908-03-04

are also trimmed with heavy white
lace and embroidery.
One of the favorite color combina-
uons is yellow linen bands embroid-
cred in white on the white suits. Pale
blue linen is also used to trim white
suits. Some of the suits are made
with medium length coats, having COL
ored bands down both sides of the
front and around the bottom. The
skirts are also bordered with the COL
ored linen.

ture of the trouble, the remedy is Sc.
lected. If the dandruff is dry and the
scalp itching there must be a general
application of white vaseline first.
The hair should be parted close to-
gether and into each line should be
rubbed plenty of vaseline, this being
continued until the entire scalp has
been. oiled. A soap jelly is then used
in the shampooing water.
To clean the face thoroughly with
almond meal is not secret at all, yet
comparatively few seem to know the
right method. First, wash the face
with warm CASTLE soapsuds, rinse and
dry. In the palm of one hand place a
teaspoonful of almond meal and mix
with water. When paste is formed
rub it over the face and neck. Rub
