New Way to Use Photographs

arranged entirely according to her own
taste

no trouble In getting all she wants, but
If not she will probably have plenty of
friends to supply her with photographs

will give an added interest to arrange
the pictures in groups given by differ
ent friends.
The pictures should be tackled or
pasted to the wall all around the room,
about on the level with the eye; then
a blue gimp or narrow ribbon must be
tackled straight around at both top
and bottom OF the row and pieces of
the gimp up and down between the
pictures. The whole effect will be like
tiles.
Another very attractive arrangement
OF photographs can be used where blue
will not tint the color scheme of the
room. In this case fasten a band OF
linen of the desired color around the
room at the proper height, with a row
OF gimp at the top and bottom Have
the photographs the usual gray or
grown prints and fasten them on the
linen. with brass headed tacks. leaving
little space between them and also
having the linen band somewhat wider
than the height Of the pictures The
linen makes q specially pretty back
ground for the photographs.

Various hat holders have been con-
trived. some useful and some not much
of success. but the best one yet
seen and the most steady is a strong
spiral coil of heavy wire. the bottom
being larger round than the crown
OF the hat and the top much smaller
A girl can buy these spiral wire
holders and make them look very pretty
and dainty herself. The wire must be
covered with ribbons to match the
closet fittings. The covering is done
by fastening the end of the ribbon
securely to the bottom end of the
wire. then winding the ribbon closely
around the wire all the way to the TOP.
Each end should be finished with
bow. The closets should be furnished
with as many OF these holders as its
owner has hats in use.

TT HERE is nothing, which society
more thoroughly condemns than
L artihciality, and the person

IS at once condemned as III bred. For

for it, as in the case Of those aniicted

lent to have the collar separate. so
that the entire bodice will not have to
be laundered whenever a fresh collar
is desired.
OF the new low collars the most
effective are, of course, those Of Irish
lace, either round. square or v shaped.
These are, however, the most expen-

trimmed handkerchief linen there are
many extremely pretty designs from
which to choose.

Tor If she Is at all clever she can do
wonderful things with combinations of

laces which cannot be put together

unusual trimness. In fact one thing
that must be guarded against in the
clothes for young girls Is the tendency
of the straight, narrow lines to produce
an overangular effect that is far from
becoming. Never were there so few

long tight sleeves all make toward the

is. of course, less expensive to do ones
own stamping, but there are many girls
who find little difficulty with the en-

drawing and designing of a pattern.
and for them the material already
stamped Is great saving of time and
trouble.
Although the low collars are apt to
be fastened only with pretty brooch

are always attractive and becoming.
