Dressing in Haste Means Big Waste

Some women boast they can dress in
ten minutes. They may be clothed in
that time; they won't be dressed. In
nothing more than in dressing does
great haste make little speed.
The girl who respects her appearance
never makes the attempt TO do stunts
In her dressing. The f1ve-minute habit
is Stunned as are all halfway meas
ures.

read the thoughts about her Of the care

other woman. or, You can't be clean
clear through" or Your room must

One cannot give the attention TO bath
ing, hairdressing, and careful adjusting
OF clothes that is required in less than
half an hour. The woman who says
she does, either stops her clock or shirks
important toilet duties.

Apart from looks, the woman who
dresses in ten minutes is putting her
nerves to an unnecessary strain. There
is nothing so trying as dressing in a
hurry. The furry gets into pins. but
tons, laces, and gloves; what does not
prick or break, wIllfUlly hides itself
Hurried dressing usually means look
ing ones worst instead of ones best
Ten minutes leave no allowance for a
careful inspection with a handgiass or
for accurate adjusting of belts and ties,
Psyche angles, and hair nets.
The girl who boasts Of whirlwind
dressing generally looks as II she had

a gaping placket, and misf1t stock show

daWdling and careless haste. The ten

Combination Tea Cabinet
and Buffet Has
Many Uses.

In the matter of hfnsse furnishings,
ways md means have 10 be considered.
when space is limited, in order to pro-
vide the comforts of the table without
Installing separate piece of furniture
An idea for substitute is offered in a
combination tea cabinet or table and a
buffet. or modernized console table. It
is intended to occupy a place in the
dining room, where it will hold the din
ner candles when they are not in use,
and can be utilized as a serving table
during the dinner.
One of its convenient points, really
the most important, is the curtained
cabinet provided with two shelves IN
derneath, where cups and saueers may
be tucked away TO keep them free from
dust A complete tea service can be
concealed behind the dainty curtains
ready for use at a moments notice. A
part Of the curtained section may be
converted into a bookcase by having
partitions put down the sides, giving
the space in the center to the tea set
and that at either side to small books.
In this case the top is left for any use
or decoration one likes. It offers a
charming stand for flowers and bric-a-
brac.
The silk or cretonne curtains give
an effective finish. These should match
the furnishings of the room. Where the
cabinet stands in country house or in
a woman's sitting room, then cretonne
is more suitable. For a library or living
room something darker Is more oesir-
able. Exquisite shadings like old tapes-
tries are TO be found among the newest
cretonne and cotton fabrics for decora-
tions.
