USE COL0RS IN COMBINATION
Blue and Lavender Are Perhaps the
Most Popular Among the Fore
most Designers.

Designers have combined in their de-
sire for blue and lavender, used to-
gether in a gown or wrap. The
evening frocks are usually in these
two colors whenever a woman can
wear them One fabric in lavender is
draped into another fabric of blue, or
two shades of blue and two of laven-
der are so deftly laid over each 9th
er that the effect is like soap bubble.
Blue and lavender bugles and beads
are used for embroidering lace and
net, crepe de chine and liberty silk.
A chiffon of one color is dropped un-
de- a net of the other color, and tulle,
embroidered with the bugles. is draped
over both.
The wonderful liberty crepe and
silks which are so fashionable for
gowns are used in a confused mass,
so that it takes the keenest observer to
know where one tone ends and an
other begins

A nice lotion for softening water for
bathing purposes is formed of eight
tablespoonfuls Of alcohol. one table
spoonful OF ammonia and dram Of
lavender. The preparation can be bot
tied and used whenever the water
seems too hard
Do not get into the habit of using
such softeners every time you battle
the face. If the water is hopelessy
hard try TO use rainwater instead. In
cold weather melted snow-provided
it is not gathered from dirty city
