HELEN TAFTS SIMPLE TASTE

MISS HELEN TAFT. the presidents

20 girls OF her circle in simplicity OF
dress and manner. Miss Taft never
wears rings, bracelets or necklace. Her
sole concessions to the present craze
for jewelry are a brooch Of pearls.
which she wears with her street and
calling costumes. and a pretty little
cluster Of turquoises which her father
gave her as a souvenir Of the distinc-
ton she gained in BTyn Mawr. Like
her mother, Miss Taft is partial to
pink. One Of the most becoming frocks
she has worn this winter is a coral
pink gown Of satin made semiprin-
cess. with a line Of lace and passe-
rnenterie coming straight down the
front and panels Of lace extending from
the shoulders. She wears her soft,
fair hair in a low knot with a pink
rose as an ordinary ornament Miss
Taft's gowns usually are frightened
with motifs Of lace. for she has an I'M
usually pretty collection Of laces, most
Of which were picked up by Mrs. Taft

MRS. PEARYs HELP TO HUSBAND

Through all the long search of Com
mander Peary for the north pole his
wife generally has remained in the
background, and her friends say she
now faces with something akin TO con-
sternation the reflection Of the lime
light which is falling on her husband.
But even in the days when the pole
seemed farthest from attainment Mrs
PeaTy was the commanders indie
fatigable assistant, helping him with
the tabulation Of his notes and other
data, ali the more ably because she
has made a study of the literature Of
arctic exploration. The daughter Of
DR.. Herman Diebitsch, Miss Joseph

Peary in Washington in 1888 It had
been her intention to follow a business
career, and she took a course in a

graduated with distinction. But after
her marriage her husbands interests

rest OF the little family that presently
sprang up the air of the arctic became
the breath of life.

tackled to her muff or tucked in the
front of her suit as a little corsage
bouquet.
In connection with bouquets new
way OF showing off the small bunch
at a debutante tea is to have them
pinned up against some rare tapestry
or embroidery. AS gardenias and vio-
lets are favorites, this way OF dispos-
ing of them makes the corner so dec

CLEANING FURS AT HOME.

few vearings. To have these furs
cleaned by a professional is expensive.

a week or ten days each time they
