HARD PILLOWS ON DIvAN.
Should Be Arranged So as to Support
the Softer Ones.

Every one does not know that a
wide divan is made more comfortable
by having at its back two huge, hard
pillows that will support the softer
ones.
1T is usual to heap up great variety
of these extra soft ones on a large
divan so that anyone sitting or reclin-
ing may arrange them according to
ones comfort.
These are needed, it is true, but
they also need a support The wall is
usually too far back from the front
edge of the divan TO serve The two
large pillows made of the material
which covers the divan are not only
comfortable, but artistic
They may be stuffed with excelsior
into coarse muslin or ticking, then
covered with the chosen fabric. They
look better with heavy cord around
the edging.
If the end of the divan is against the
wall as well as its side, third pillow
may be added to give an added frame
work to the little pillows.
This is not an expensive trick, but
If housewife ever tries it she will
never let the divan go without this
part of its equipment.

great success. The house was turned
upside down by merry crowd of lit

long after they ought to have been in

Kathleen queened it all very pref
tily, and after the last little guest had
departed and the blue eyes could
scarcely keep open, she persisted that
she wasn't little bit tired, 'on'y

was always guilty of at bedtime. =

Hint for Washing Hair.

To avoid tangling the hair when
washing it, first separate 1t into two
parts by running the comb from the
forehead straight down the back of
the head. Then divide each of these
parts into two and make four small
braids instead of one large one. When
the washing is done, il each braid is
taken out and combed by itself there
will be few, IL any. tangles. This is an
especially good idea in washing a
cnild's hair.

GRAY and Pink Wells.

Even on inclement days the girl OF
to-day wants to look her best. She
does not wear any old hat and frock
for fear of rain, but she dresses her
self from head to foot in a costume
built for the weather.
1t is now her custom to save her
good and expensive fish net wells fol-
dry weather, so on wet days she wears
a close face veil of deep rose pink
chiffon and over this a thin veil OF
gray sewing silk.
These are snugly pinned over her
hat, covering the trimming, and neatly
tucked into place at the nape Of the
neck and at the top.

What Il Means to Be Smart.

Dress is the keynote of the situation
at country house parties. A smart
woman is expected to make as many
alterations as a quick-change artist at
a music hall. She wants tailor-ma1e
gowns, shooting and motoring suits,
smart frocks for luncheons, dainty
dresses for tea and splendid costumes
for dinner; and no gown, whether day
or evening, must make second ap-
pearance.-The Tattler.
