lines, and the fur trimmings are In great
elegance.
The empire fashions as now worn are
not by any means shapeless. They are.
on the contrary. made SO as to display
the figure to the best advantage, even
though the waist comes almost under
the armpits.
A distinct feature OF the newest fur
sets is the combination with deiectabIe
materials, soft. supple satins, velvets.
chiffons, metallic laces. oriental embroid-
cries and numerous ornaments OF silk
cords, braids, fringes and pendants.
The most effective afternoon dresses
are those Of black mousseline over silk
or satin in oriental design, most of them
having a deep hem of velvet. There are
no touches Of white on these dresses. The
gumpes are Of black lace or tucked chif-
fon.
From all sources investigated comes the
announcement that the new spring lines
will show trimmings. Although to the
present no extreme novelty in trimming
has developed, the new lines will at least
have some braid and cotton trimming.
The directoire style grows more fash
ionable as the season progresses.

Toilet Creams.

To make any toilet preparation success
fully the manner Of mixing must be un-
derstood. for there are certain general
rules which apply to all.
One of these is that fats used shall
never become hot, although it is necessary
to melt them. They may be reduced to
liquid by putting into a vessel which is
set into g. pan of boiling water They are
regular utensils for this, but they are not
necessary as a cup or bowl will answer
every purpose.
Another essential is that the vessel con-
tanning the fat snail be glass or china:
never metal. Further than that. when the
fat is in one lump, as with spermaceti or
white wax. it should be broken fine with
the fingers and then stirred, after it be-
gins to warm, that melting shall be even.
Otherwise there will be liquid and hard
Jumps in one cup, and good results will
not be obtained.
When. as happens frequently. oil is to
be put into the mixture it is added i'm
mediately after the fats melt. In order
that the mixture shall not harden too
rapidly, the cup containing the fats is
usually left in it's hot bath until all the
Oil is in. Then. If a cream is being COM
pounded, the cup is taken from the water
and the perfumed waters and other ma
terials are added.
From this time on the cream must not
be heated again, but if it is hardening too
rapidly, the cup may be put back into the
bath Tor half a minute or more to soften
without heating the ingredients.
1t is never to be forgotten that fats,
once they are heated to a high degree of
temperature, will never harden properly
again, and If they CONCEAL at all, their
value has been injured.
In liquids or creams, perfumed oils or
essences when they are used go in last.
because they must not be subjected to
any heat. or their scent will be destroyed.
When alcohol and any powder or Jumps
soluble in it are to be employed. as. for
example. alcohol and camphor. the solid
should be dissolved in the alcohol or
spirits before being added to the other
ingredients.
In making any liquids which border on
emulsion constant agitation of some kind
Is necessary. and almost without excep-
ton all ingredients should be put in slow
ly. that blending shall go on evenly.
The utensil for stirring should always
be of bone or ivory; II one of these is
not owned. a silver fork or spoon may be
substituted, but 1t must be pure silver
and not plate, or the preparation will be
discolo-ed. MARGARET MIXTER.

In the Closet.

The clothes that hang in the closet or
wardrobe from day to day without an
airing. as SO many Of our dresses for
less usual occasions do, should be we'll
protected. The best method is to wrap
them first in blue tissue paper-white It's
sue paper turns white garments yellow
and then in a calico bag made little
longer and wider than the dress and pro-
vided with q tape drawstring. Sleeves, by
the way, should first be stuffed with the
tissue paper
To each drawstring attach a curtain
hook and then stretch strong Irvine or
tape from one end Of the closet to the
other, mailing ii fast. On this hook the
different bags curtain rod will do as
well. but will take UP more room. Deli
cate gowns should be hung upon a coat
hanger before being incased In this tissue
paper. The calico bag, however, Is the
most important part Of the treatment.
