ARTISTIC BED-MAKING.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin
Pretty soon," observed woman the
other day, I'VE shall talk about the lost
art Of bed-making"
Do you know how to make a bed7
You may think you do, but look az a
trained nurse make one. and then an
swer.
The most elaborate spreads and mono
grained sheets, even fine linen scented
with lavender, Is as nothing If the covers
come out at the foot. OF there is an an
noying wrinkle in the bottom sheet.
The chief trouble. which applies partic-
uiarly to maids, is a lack OF thorough
ness.
Beds should be aired and shaken and
summed. 1t is bad management II the bed
making must take place directly after
breakfast, or. worse yet. II the maid Is
sent upstairs during breakfast. This
leaves too little time for airing.
Turn your mattress over each dav IN
keep it in shape.
Tuck your bottom sheet in so securelv
that it will not wrinkle or come ont.
Arrange the other coverings so that
tney turn over at just the right place to
come well over the shoulder.
The sheet should turn well over the
blanket, so that no woody surface ma,,
come against The skin of face OF. neck.
Most important OF all. see that they are
tucked In securely at the bottom. Nothing
Is more annoying in the middle OF the
night than for ones sheets 10 drag an
chor, as it were.

who must economic upon her mouth IS

Il said the other day TO woman who
complained Of poverty: Go without a

your teeth Strengthened and be sure 20

That expresses a principle which every
woman should heed.
For women who VIII not redden the
lips, holding that roughing the mouth IS
bad form, I have some suggestions. I
gave them 70 customer when she went
to London last spring. 1 said:
when you wash your face in the
morning be sure to pinch your lips. Give
them a sharp pinch to make them glow.
While doing this bend them back a little.
giving them a little curling twist which
keeps them from getting thin and at the
same time promotes the circulation.
Never press your lips together, but
practice keeping them slightly apart.
This does not mean 10 sit with the mouth
open. but TO let the lips merely touch.
Don't gape but don't press the lips to
gether.

There is an operation for making the
dimple. A muscle is cut in the chin so
that there is a slight depression or scar.
II takes a good surgeon 10 perform the
feat Of making a dimple, but it IS a
pretty feature once established on a wom-
ans face. It makes her look just so
much more coquettish.
'T would advise the woman who wants
dimple 10 get one. Personally, I don't
perform the dimple operation. but I do
sometimes furnish a dimple stick to a
woman. Il Is a little wooden implement.

What Is the most fashionable style OF ar

say that the hair should be worn nat on
the top and broad at the sides and back.
Certain It is that many OF the best dress
ed women have adopted this becoming
low. broad forehead effect
This center parting of the hair with the
wide Recamier chignon and large puffs at
the sides comports well with the large
proportions Of the present-day millinery,
and is especially becoming to women with
small. delicate features
With this style Of hairdressing fllets
are generally worn. They not only adorn
the hair, but also confine the strayIng
front locks into place.
Black velvet fillets-or snoods, as our
mothers called them-have been occasion
ally seen in the summer time, but they
have not been popular for some reason,
in spite OF their becomingness: perhaps
because they do not seem TO adjust them
selves well 10 the pompadour and are apt
TO make the underpinning whatever Il
is. shift from its proper position
But fllets of beadwork are more ad-
Unstable and fit over the hair with perfect
neatness and comfort

months. but Indian beadwork IS immense

and these brightly colored bands are seen
everywhere at the hotels.
They are becoming to most types Of
bionds and brunettes, but are especially
pretty with glossy black hair arranged in
neat rolls and coiled at the back.
OF course, properly speaking. a flllet
goes with a Psyche knot, but Psyche
knots are not becoming 10 every woman

On one OF the influential newspapers OF
the country is a man who has steadfastly
refused tempting offers for the devoted
