To Dress Warmly.

This season every woman wishes to
possess slender figure and does not
want to add an ounce Of weight to her
garments but if she wishes her COM
plexion to be clear the clothing she does
wear must be warm, for unless the cir
culation is kept normal a red nose,
fingers and sometimes extreme redness
in cheeks will mar what might be a pref
ty skim For only when q proper degree
of warmth is maintained in the body can
such flushing be prevented, and this
statement brings me to the subject of
suitable clothing for winter
Women who can afford them like to
wear silk stockings and low shoes, or
pumps, when in the street, and pretty
though this combination is it is not
warm.
One woman of, my acquaintance. who
has been through what I call the chilled
period" and who wears silk hosiery all
winter. even on the coolest day. before
going out Of doors draws on a pair of
cotton hose. and then puts silk ones on
over them. Thus she has the effect of
silk and the added warmth of cotton
No larger shoes are required for this
dressing.
The selection of warm, but not bulky,
underclotning is more difficult. But
there is a solution of even this problem.
for If petticoats take up too much space
and increase the size of the waist line,
then tight fitting underwear may be SUBJ
stituted. If these garments are Of jersey
silk they will be very warm, and II only
of Isle they will be warm enough to keep
vitality from going below par.
Fitting close to the skin. as they do,
all natural warmth is retained. and the
wearer is more comfortable than with
petticoats. The most practical kind OF
tights are those that go below the knees
and fit into the top of the hosiery.
Women who have reduced dressing to
science, for the mater of best lines.
wear union undergarments. for they save
an extra thickness around the waist.
Such garments are now made sleeveless
and with low necks. and as that portion
of the body usually has the added pro-
lection of fur pieces when the wearer
goes into the street, the body Is warm.
1t seems to take some women . long
time to understand that when they are

Prettier than the stereotyped scenery
papers in blue and white for a Dutch din
ing room is a figured paper Blue as a
background for walks is to be avoided IN
all but large rooms, where heavy furn1-
trre is used. In any quantity blue. un-
less in its highest shades, has the un-
fortunate effect Of absorbing light, and
for that reason must be selected with dis
cretion.
A paper with white ground, covered
with large conventional figures in outline
rather than solid, is effective and at the
same time sufficiently light to be suitable
for a small or medium sized room
Whether or not a border is used depends
upon the height of the ceiling.
There should be bare floor even if it
is necessary to paint the boards. Should
this be necessary a mahogany or monde
script brown will be most desirable. Red
cannot be used. and painted floor which
is light will always look cold.
AS the walls are figured, the window
hangings should be plain, blue and white
being combined by using two sets, one
of each color. The under set may be OF
white cotton crepe. A small ball fringe
around the edge adds to the attractive
ness
hang a set of linen the same shade OF
blue as appears in the walls.
A blue ball fringe might be put around
the white curtains and fiat fancy linen
band at the edge of the blue.
Both sets of curtains should be run on
small brass rods and should not hang be-
low the window stills. They are to be
draped back or not as wished. A valance
on them is optional.
If a woman is fortunate enough to own
braSses and china which are pretty she
should put these, rather than pictures, on
the dining room walls.
To light the room by candles in brass
scOnces on different walls is not as ex-
pensive as 1t may seem, for the branches
are comparatively inexpensive, and can
dies, il not wastefully burned, are cheap
If the china used is delft it must be
given background or it will be lost in
the blue and white of the walls The
same blue that is used in the curtains
may be tackled fiat on the walls behind
the plates. leaving just enough of the
material to make border for the china
Plate racks of course may be used but
they are commonplace. and only when
costly have they distinction
The prettieSt chairs for such a dining
room are those of white, with tiny blue

Household Hints.

Oil stains on clothing should be COW
cred with soap and washed with cold
water before the garment is sent to the
laundry. They may be removed with
turpentine.

Formal Notes.

"Abbreviate nothing and do not divide
words is the edict when writing a for
NAL note. Extremists Of fashion write
out even the street number instead OF
putting it in figures. To be sure, visiting
cards for more than a season have had
addresses written, but it is only recently
that smart women have begun to have
their note paper similarly headed.
To divide word, a form correct under
other conditions. is not to be thought of
when writing note to suit Mrs. Grundy.

the letters. a wide margin is left and the
word begun on the line below. AS for
