New Idea For a Scarf

the more than natural looking plumes,
the original shapes-some. 1t must be
confessed, rather ecentric, others at
traetvely picturesque and a choice few
practical, becoming and smart-present
an almost irresistible temptation to the
woman who likes to be well costumed.
The same anxious question asked
whenever any new hats are exhibited:
VIII large or small hats be the more
popular? Is answered in the usual way,
Both will be fashionable" One wona-
an whose taste in dress is unquestioned
has just returned from Paris with her
customary number of hats for spring
and summer-incidentaIly these have to
be supplemented at intervals later in
the season-and every hat she has
brought over Is fat and large. Another
woman. equally fashionable and also
distinguished for her taste in dress, has
brought over only small high shapes
So what are the rank and file Of woman-
kind to do? II they are sensible they
will buy most carefully this season,
choosing only such shapes and colors
as are becoming, and there Is such d.
versity in style that this can readily
be accomplished.

These annoyances sound simple until
one has to face them each day; then
they become as exasperating and as
Now here Is an idea that was origin
ated In Paris a few weeks ago and
brought over here by a woman who al
ways wears collarless blouses, hrst be-
cause they are becoming to her long,
round, white neck. and, second, because
she Is distinctly uncomfortable when
wearing anything that Is tight under
the chin and that has bones that prod
and wound.
She has too good taste in dress to ap-
pear on the street in the winter with
bare neck outlined by the rough edge of
a cloth coat, so she eagerly took up this
new accessory which Paris designed to
meet just such a want.
II Is a scarf about three-quarters Of a
yard long, made of lace, lined with chlf-
fon cloth and also with satin. The mid
die of II is plain, and Is wrapped tightly
about the neck but the ends are heavily
beaded In porcelain or wood. There are
tassels of these beads al the edges.
The idea Is to weight the scarf SO heav-
fly that the ends will keep the part
about the neck in it's place. Rather a
clever idea, isn't It?

Foulard Suits to Be
In Vogue This Spring

Foulard coat suits promise to be fea-
ture of the warm weather fashions.
Will they serve the need of this climate7
The heat and dampness require practical
clothing, yet the cost of laundering
makes all but the rich hesitate to wear
garments that soil in a few hours.
Even when one can afford the strain
of paying the laundry bills for numer-
Gus linen suits, duck skirts, and white
blouses, there is the discomfort of wear
ing garments that are soiled before the
day Is over. The atmosphere is filed
with SCOT and dust, and one cannot keep
a light cotton fabric clean for any sat
isfactory length of time.
Dark linen gowns and suits do not
show soil, but they crush so easily by
the nature of their weave that they need
a hot iron after every wearing. All
cloth suits are torture during the worst
weather. No matter how light in
weight, that thread of worsted adds
heavily to the heat of the day.

Here are the birthstones for the en-

! hesitate to recommend any remedy.
proprietary or otherwise, for the remov-
al Of superfluous hair. To tell the truth.
a great many people have injured their
appearance irreparably by the ill-advis-
ed use of preparations that have been
o warranted to remove such a growth, but
which have been merely temporary in
results. Suppose you consult an expert
in electrolysis, instead of spending your
money upon worthless and unsuccessful
articles. By this I do not mean to de-
cry any particular preparation. but 10
warn you against the use of some chem
zeal the result of which might make the
Disagreement worse, instead of bRtter
A reputable electrolysiS specialist will
tell YOU truthfully whether the growth
can be removed, and while the opera
tion is somewhat expensive, IL is perIna-
nent. which is more than can be said OF
any chemical that has yet been discov-
cred.
