NEW BELTS MADE TO FIT.
Dress Accessory Which May Be Re-
He'd Upon to "stay Put"

II the heavily-embroidered linen
persist in slipping up to disclose the
waist and skirt attachments, there is
a way out-and it's all in the shape.
Was there ever problem in the
realm of fashion that could not be
solved by some woman's genius?
There are women who have Just ex-
actly the correct contour to be per
fectly fitted about the waist line by a
straight band of material, which
stays put" but is that reason to
suppose that every belt must needs
be straight? 1t is quite enough of a
tax on the general amiability to ac-
cept the lace stock made in one size
only" for every neck (the saints be
praised for collars in quarter sizes },
but, while the ready-to-wear beltings
In embroidered galloons and the like
are necessarily straight, all belts
turned out by tailors and at home
need not conform to pattern fitting
half the public.
A very simple solution is the belt
looking like every other belt when
round the waist, but cut two inches
and a half wide in the center back
and sloped gradually to width of
the front. The extra width in the
back lies over the hooks on the skirt
band. and the usual narrowness in
the front slips more readily into most
belt buckles.

The Beauty of Hair.

To have pretty head of hair one
must take care of it. No matter how
tired you may be at night, be sure to
get rid of all combs and artificial
hair, shake the hair loose and brush
and comb it thoroughly.
If your hair is falling out and Won
are using hair tonic, after well
brushing the hair apply 1t to the
scalp. 1t is best to use a tonic at
bedtime, for it gives the scalp plenty
of time to absorb it.
