LIKE THE PARTED poMPAooUR.
Smart Women Quick to Take Up Fan
ey Recently Introduced.

After all the preaching about the
parted pompadour, il didn't come In
until the season was well started. Now
the smart women are rapidly taking
II up. At the opera, at dinner dances,
at the theater, and wherever women
gather with bare heads the parted
pompadour Is the mode of the mo-
ment.
IL Is doubtful II the small roll OF
hair over the temples could be digni-
fed by the name of pompadour, II
stands out little from the face. 1t is
slightly waved. more often at home
than on the irons of the hairdresser.
The parting is on the left side and
the hair brushed away from 1t In man
fashion.
At the right side of the part the
hair sweeps down over the brow and
across the temples in large ripping
wave. The left side goes back over
the ear and is tucked into the small
Psyche knot that stands straight out
from the head.
Every one thought this parted POM
padour would be unbecoming: on the
contrary. II is quite attractive and a
charming relief from the mass OF
ruffed and rated hair that we nave
been wearing over the brow for years.
Whatever rats or crepes are put
into the hair TO keep II out now are
used at the sides. They must not so
across the back except under the
Psyche knot.
The correct coiffure adopted by the
majority has the hair brushed up
smoothly from the nape of the neck
20 the knot itself. There is no bulg-
ing out or sagging down. II is clean

by wide barette.

HOUSE GOWN AT SMALL COST.
SILK and Cotton Fabrics May Be Used
with Excellent Results.

The girl who wants a pretty house
gown at small cost is buying the silk
and cotton fabrics that take the place
OF organdie and other thin materials.
These are often fiowered in charming
colors and also made up In polka dots
and fine self-covered stripes.
The girl who makes her clothes al
home can handle this material quite
easily. She wants a one-piece frock
of 1t slightly curved in at the waist,
fastening down back and cut out In a
slight square at neck.
Below the square she insets piece
OF embroidered filet net over white
chiffon, or uses color. as she prefers.
Above this she puts narrow band Of
lace.
The sleeves are half way to elbow,
fit the arm, and are finished with n
frill of lace and bow of ribbon. There
is quite new touch In arranging this
elbow frill. A narrow edge OF lace is
used around the inside of the arm,
then a double box plait at the back
that is five inches deep and has wide
square satin bow at the top.
This is much prettier than the old
fashioned way of gathering in q lace
frill OF one width.

Sometimes four bedrooms are need
ed. II is very desirable that chill.
dren should have bedrooms of their
own for their exclusive use as soon as
they are old enough to sleep by them
selves.
In order TO get four good bedrooms
II is necessary to build a good-sized
house. You can get four little boxes
of rooms in a small house, but It is
never very satisfactory. Little bed
rooms too often lack light and ventila-
tion, and these are two very impor-
tant requisites.
One reason why like square houses
and recommend them is the fact that
you can get bedroom In each cor
ner upstairs and have two windows in
each room that are diagonally oppo-
site to each other so they may be left
open to create current of air that
will come and go continually. Since
the prevalence of contagious diseases
has been traced to defective ventila-
ton, people are paying more attention
to this feature Of building.
Sunshine is the best disinfectant we
have. so 1t behooves US to provide
large windows and plenty OF them.
Time was when we covered our win
dows outside with blinds. Some peo-
pie have wooden blinds outside and
wooden (vienesaire) blinds inside.

and sunshine banishers | have often
seen two pairs of curtains over a win
dow, besides dark shade which was
