THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

pecially gotten UP for your delectation.
and q hostess tired out by the extra ex-
ertions, and subconsciously hoping that
you won't come again too soon, or your

undisturbed hostess who is not deferred by
WEAKNESS from enjoying and making you
| enjoy your visit to the full and from
genuinely hoping you'll come again soon
| I can't ina CINE but one answer to that
query.
| And yet, how many hostesses give their
guests the credit Of being decent enough
| to visit them for their conversation and
friendship rather than their food?
| How many women have the common
sense and large -mndedness to insist that
their hospitality shall always be a pleas
ure rather than a burden?
| Perhaps one in five. but ] doubt It,
To all too many housemothers com
pany'' is synonymous with bother" and
unexpected company with 'catastro-
| phe.
| And in many houses where formal hos
pitality is really enjoyed, the informal
| guest-to my mind, the essence Of hos
pitallty-is an unknown quantity.
On my list of friends ] am most happy
to include a certain middle-aged couple
who have what appeals to me Is an ideal
attitude toward hospitality.
These people almost never entertain
formally. weekly afternoon at home
and an occasional casually arranged card
party are their biggest concessions to
formal hospitality.
But in informal hospitality they fairly
revel
The husband ia always free to bring
home guest whenever he wishes-using
discretion. of course-the wifes woman
friends feel free to drop In at any time,
and the children frequently bring their
young friends to the house
A guest here does not disturb the family
routine in the least. He shares the fam
lily fare. He never feels that he is in the
way at all. On the maids night out
vted into the kitchen, to join the family
circle there while the dishes are being
disposed OF, and many a young bachelor
has even hugely enjoyed the joke of don
ming an apron and helping out.
AS to the ways and means. the house
mother says: We usually have plenty to
eat in the house, and plenty for four can
generally be expanded to enough for five.
For the occasions when my fare needs
eking out I keep stock of canned vege-
Ia bles and soup and preserves.
IF we run short OF anything. We laugh
at II together, and the novelty OF this
treatm of the situation usually pleases
the guests.
Hospitality has been one Of the great
est pleasures Of our married life, and l
think 1t is Just because we made up our
friends in a simple way and never to in
suit them by letting our entertainment
of them become a burdensome duty. II
we lost any friends in this way, we felt
they would hardly be friends worth keep

Delicate summer curtains, draperies. tap
estries, laces womens fine raiment-things
that would be ruined by washing in the old
fashioned way-can be cleaned at home with
Fels-Naptha as we'll as expert cleaner could
do it.
Fels-Naptha contains no injurious chemi-
Gals; nothing that could harm the most delicate
fabric. Sets colors instead of making them run
as most soaps do
With Fels-Naptha, use only cold or luke
warm water-never hot. That saves the fabric.
Hot water would soften it and cause fraying.
Fels-Naptha dissolves the dirt; you don't
have to rub it loose as with ordinary soap.
More than million women do their wash

that Fels-Naptha is the best and easiest way.

Velvet for Fall Use.

Velvet in every form and on every pos

are used Instead of cloth or metal ones.

Charming lingerie house gowns are

such a neglige are sometimes in square
outline. and again may form deep point
in the back and front dropping low with
a rounding outline after the manner OF
the smart shapes of the season.
A tea gown to this description recently
won much approval. The gown is made
of batiste. and is lace-trimmed. There
are lace frills on the upper part OF the
gown which extend in low rounded points
to the waist line. A pale blue ribbon
goes around the shoulder under the frills
of lace, and is tied in bow at the waist
line. A panel of the blue silk extends
down the front of the gown. Bands OF
lace, alternating with tucking. trim the
skirt. Deep lace frills finish the bottom
of the sleeves.
Fichu on Negliges.
For those whom II suits, the fichu is
vastly becoming in its grace and quaint
ness. But woe betide the damsel to whose
figure 1t is not adapted. should she fol-
low fashion blindly. The fichu on the
we'll developed figure has a decided tend
ency to produce broad, ample and ma
tronly effect.
If there is one garment which forgives
such tendency ii is the neglige; so here
it may be used almost universally.
I4aces. which are used in such profusfon

the imported French models. An at
tractive little neglige of this type. made
of lawn, which is shown among the small
cuts was copied from a French model
made of silken material. The neglige is
made with a sailor collar, trimmed with
a wide frill Of lace The lace frill ex-
tends down the front of the gown. The
empire bodice is made with the kimono
sleeve and is trimmed with bands Of in
set lace. The skirt Is trimmed with lace
insertion and tucks.
Voiles and marquisettes are used ex-
tensively for house gowns. These ma
terals have the advantage OF enduring
much wear and yet remaining fresh look
ing and without any appearance OF mus
siness.
The striped marquisettes make up very
attractively and give long lines OF grace
and slenderness, which are of Importance
in such a garment Embroidered mar
quisette is also very much favored this
season. A remarkably attractive neglige
was recently shown with panels front and
back, which were embroidered in heavy
white silk floss. These panels were out
lined with narrow full-length bands. also
embroidered. as were the edges of the
wide dropping sleeves, which were Of
design very similar to that OF the gen.

Ombre silk in new combinations, with
gold and green tones prominent. makes
many of the advance models in fall
gowns. Black velvet is favorite trim

Bi-Colored Buttons.
Bi-colored buttons are a part OF the
decorative scheme on many suit and

rims of black appear. but there arc also
some novelties in wood or me,al or COM

of the color scheme in the center. fading

buttons go far toward relieving the Sc

New Evening Fabric.
An exquisite new fabric for evening
wear is a sheer, silky stun with trails of
flowers woven in color, and with dew

pattern. Worn over a delicate color such

Fringe is the trimming for everything a

some such oddity will make Its appear

Fringe in Favor.
The fringe has been we'll received on
its invasion into the tailor realm. A
suit OF black broahcloth or some other
very conventional material is made richer
and more dressy, without losing its dis
tinctively tailored appearance. by a Ju-
dicious Introduction of long. silky, black
fringe in the trimming. A few inches

gown or coat. The whole bottom Of a
skirt may be bordered with 1t. The loose
panels. back or front or side, are sure to
end in deep fringe.
A fchu effect may be obtained by a
fold OF material edged with long fringe.

Velours and Plush.

Velours is used to considerable ex-
tent for the making of hats, and a soft
plush OF similar texture makes many a
small model not unlike the mems hats
that had a vogue q short time ago. The
velours comes in many colorings, the
soft, autumn-leaf shades being particu-
larly we'll liked. little wisp of pleas
ants feathers at the side Is all that fs
needed to trim one Of these hats, and the
colors of this plumage blend we'll with the
coloring Of the silky piled material. A
soft gray tone Of velours is made moro
attractive by contrast with a small
feather mount in which a bit Of cerise
coloring is used.
Heavy bengaline is another material
that is rivaling the felt hats. In white
the variety that Is used this year looks
like a good quality Of pique. The ia
vorite velvet facing contrasts especially
well with the bengaline.
Chamois- -colored felt is used for some
very smart new models. Faced or bound
in white and trimmed with white
feather this chamois tone is very good.
A small hat may be faced in black II
preferred.
One of the unusual new shapes in felt
hats strongly resembles saucepan with
out a handle. It is a blocked tailor shape
with high. plain crown and an extremely
narrow, rolled brim In the back the
brim kinks up a bit and has hollow
where the handle should be. The crown
narrows enough to hold the brim pretty
we'll out from the face on level with
the eyebrows.
Some blocked shapes have odd crowns
in modified tam styles.
