One must be careful to get them at the
right spot on the figure, SO they will not
| increase the size of the hips. No wom-

these days, and therefore it is a grievous
! error to put a piece of trimming over the
| spot where the hips have vanished.
A novel lamp shade that can be made
| at home is fashioned of coarse bobbln-
| net closely fitted to one of the skeleton
| shade frames for sale in the lamp shops.
| After the frame is covered With the net
sew on at regular intervals flowers or
| fruit clusters that have been cut from
| upholstery cretonne. Cover the shaoe
| with a second covering of the net and
| the effect will be as if the flowers and
| fruit were hand-painted on the net.
| Finish the top of the shade with a dou-
| BILE net ruching and the bottom with
fringe of glass beads. When complete
| the shade will be most attractive and
| at the same time inexpensive.

! careless hand or a slight miscalculation

serious character. If you cut two small
pieces from an old garden hose and slip

such accidents are impossible, and your
china and glass will remain unchipped
! What can one do to protect the SKIN
I from the drastic climatic effect of our
summer? 1t is absurd to even think OF
sacrificing the pleasures of Open-alr life
for the sake of a good complexion; even
the dolls of life, whose one aim is to
| be pretty, won't stand for this, because

/ ion.
The one thing to do, therefore, is to
use the simple aids to good skin that
are known. but not often practiced. Cos
metics may serve on a dull winter aft
| ernoOn or in a brilliant ballroom on
cold night, but they are absurd in sum
mer, because they are so easily detected.
| Even powder, which is necessary TO
every woman's nose, if not to her whole
! face, must be put on very carefully when
| the face is exposed to the sun.
In winter powder is apt to cake on the
| skin and clog the pores, but IN summer
! the natural moisture of the skin pre-
vents this action. The perspration keeps
the pores and glands healthy, and 1t
should be encouraged. Moisture is neceS-
| sary to a good skin.
| When one must be out in the open Oh
quiet hot days or IN binding glare one
| should always coat the face with little
| cold cream to make a slight protective
! layer of grease over the sensitive cutlcie
through which the burning rays will not
penetrate.
Over this should be busted violet tai
| cum powder or the fine rice powder. Care
| should be taken to wash the powder, the
! cream. and the dust, (which the cream
catches). from the face. This should be
| done when one goes indoors for the day
or evening. Tepid water should be used
| and a little almond meal instead of soap.
The latter is not good thing to rub
| on the face in summer unless one is
quite sure it is pure. AS a rule the
cheap brands of white soap are the best
| for this purpose.
There is a code of manners for shop
pers as we'll as for other people. Some
women do not seen to realize this. 1t
is inexcusable to push and shove in
store. Likewise it is very rude to speak
| TO a salesWOman who is engaged with
another customer. Make up your mind
what you want before you go into a
store. Make a shopping list and take
samples and measure. 1t is lneXcusable
and bales of goods when you don't know
your own mind or, worse STILL have no
| intention of buying. And it does no
harm to say please and THANK you"
to the overworked. woman behind the
counter. Shop assistants have, on the
whole. a very hard time, and it is most
| unfeeling to add to their burden by
! adopting a rude manner when speaking
to them.
For cleansing laces and dainty fabrics
| magnesia will be found invaluable. 1t
| should be allowed to remain on the
| soiled places for at least twelve hours
and then brushed off. Much of the soil
will be absorbed. A second application
may be used if necessary.
| A bold embroidery for summer covers
| is of inlaid applique. A natural colored
| linen could have an inlay of pink or
green linen, while a brown linen would
look well appliqued in delicate yellow
or ecru and green line with white. The
tional design of detached figures or
border specially arranged for applique.
Be sure to see it is not plain en-
broidery pattern you get. Basic the
| linen for inlaying on the back of mate
rial with the right side Of the applique
| be worked. Turn the piece to the out
side and follow the outline of the design
with fine running stitches in white cot
ton. This can be done on the machine
| with a loose tension. Be sure to have
the inlay linen wider than the design
line with a firm, soft cord of harmonic
ing color and couch it securely to the
cover, taking the over-and-over stitch
through both linens. After the couch
ing is finished, cut out the top linen with
small, sharp-pointed scissors, leaving the
under linen as an inlaid applique.
For a bungalow or bedroom in coun-

made of unbleached muslin with a cross
stitch border in several tones of old blue.

A pretty and very useful present for the
grandmother of the house or any elderly
lady whose birthday is to be celebrated
