\ business woman who travels up an,
down and to and fro constantly finds
more than the legitimate use for her cleo
trio fatiron, which always accompanies
her. If she wants to heat water she
turns the iron bottom upward and puts
her small aluminium dish upon it. The
iron, she says, saves her many a bill Iii
pressing of garments. Ii a waist Is
rumpled she irons it out, and if a skirt
shows creases she removes them, unless
it is an actual matter for the tailor.
"What are you doing?" said the caller
to the energtic woman, whom she found
sitting at table surrounded by piles OF
old magazines, newspapers, pastepot;
scissors and sheets of cardboard and
brown wrapping paper.

THE sanest treatment of wrinkles is
not to have them" says Harpers Ba-
Ear. but by this is not meant that one
must think of ones face all the time
anything for fear of disturbing the feat
ures Better wrinkles than boredom
The kind of preventive advocated goes
deeper than this and means giving a III
tie serious thought to the tension back
of the grimaces. 1T is invariably there,
the article proceeds, contracting mus
cles uselessly and burning up an unlimit-
ed amount of life energy, all for nothing.
How to get at it and conquer 1t IS parity
physicians problem. Let him give all
the help he can. Some physical trouble
NAV be causing the nervous strain. Two
valuable home remedies are sleep and
relaxation, combined with a constant Ell
fort to be more philosophical and not
take anything too strenuously-elther
sorrows, joys or daily irritations." An
other method of prevention is to keep the
skin pliable, so that it will not Wrinkle
easily. This may be done by attention
to the general health and the use OF
good cosmetics.
Silk folds are used a great deal for
trimming today. These are simple to
make if one knows how, otherwise they
try ones patience to the utmost. one
very easy method of making these folds
is this: First, cut from newspaper strips
the required dimensions. Then, getting
true bias of the silk, mark off the silk
in strips the desired width, using yard
stick and a piece OF French chalk Tor
this part of the work. Then the strips
of silk are most carefully cut out on the
chalk line and neatly joined, so that one
long strip is made. Of course one must
allow more width to the silk than to the
paper strips, for the edges OF the silk
must be turned in. The paper strips are
next basted in place on the silk folds, and
the edges of the material turned over at
both sides even with the paper pattern,
basted and then pressed hard on the
wrong side with hot iron. The bast-
ings removed, the newspaper will easily
slip out without rumpling the SILK and
the fold is ready to be stitched into
place.

many of the humble skins up to "a high
standard of beauty. Many a mother OF
daughters, who i'll her girlhood would
have scorned to wear limitation" turs,
buys what suits her pocketbook and
taste today, not only for herself but her
family without asking the antecedents
of the skins that are to be hers. 1t is
sometimes as well not to ask the history
of the skins on the counter. Such very
humble origins as rats and skunks, blend

names with prefxes that qualify mat

the season is not long enough to insure
dense hair and thick skin.
