For Cleaning Ivory Ornaments

Prom Womsn's Home Companion for Aprf,
To clean ivory ornaments. first brush
them well with a soft toothbrush, using
lukewarm water and little soap; then
rinse them in water of the same temper
allure. dry with cloth and a brush till
the luster reappears. Pour a little al
cohol upon the brush. and should the
ivory have become yellow, drying It in
gentle heat is recommended. I have
tried this process many times. and have
always the greatest success.

Two middle-aged ladies in Anticipated

large department stores looking about in
that vague, helpless way that denoted

that because their clothes, though of d

But they were hopelessly old-fashioned
and presented a most unattractive ap-

ing looks worse in the day OF the diree~

because economy had them in its grip

clothes were not worn out, consequently
they were too good TO be thrown away
and they must wear them.
These women are not alone. They have

Egyptian Stockings.

When you embroider the stocking for

you Will allow yourself this frivolous bit
of extra color that might not pass as
good style on a city street, do 1t in the
last new way.
Carry out the Egyptian line, which
stops at the ankle and cuts off. as it
were, the plain upper part of stocking
from the foot section.
Drop-stitch stockings of the newest
make have given US the suggestion, and
we have worked it out in colors on the
very dull-toned stocking of gray. brown,
or tea green, or on even the dull blues
which positively suggest the dark rich
shades of Egyptian ornament.
Some Of the stocking designs are now
very conventional and wander away from
the merely pretty floral patterns formerly
used.

Separate Coats for Snring.

IN considering your actual dress needs

garet Gould in Womans Home Com
pamion for April. don't overlook the
separate coat. It is necessary not only
for eonvenience's sake. but fashion Is re-
garding 1t just now with very particular
favor. So many dresses are worn that
one or more long separate coats are very
much needed TO make the spring ward
robe complete
NO one style leads-it is the same
story with the coat as with the froek.
each is now suited to ones individual
tastes and special needs. Long loose
fitting coats of pongee and corded tus-
sab or linen in the natural color will be
very much worn, made with full sleeves
and fastening in dOuble-breasted STYLE
The specially new feature Of these coats
is the low one-side rever at the right
side. which is faced with the same sort
of silk that is used for the lining, and
right here let me say that never has fou-
lard had such great vogue aa a lining
silk as this spring. Gay-colored fouIards
are used to line Manufactured pongee
