FASHION TALKS Nav Nav s S,nton
~E
THE FASHIONABLE A

Black costumes relieved with white
are among the smartest of all things
this season. This one consists of a
satin skirt with blouse of chiffon over
white, trimmed with satin. The effect
Ia very charming, while the comblna-
ton makes the gown useful for many
ooca sions. The skirt lie circular. but
can be made either in one or two pieces,
as, best suits the material; that is, with
or without seam at the. back. 1t is
closed at the left OF front. If liked,
the front edges can be o~yerlapped in
place of being scanned and trimmed
with buttons; also there 10 a choice
allowed of the high waist line or the
belt. The blouse Is the favorite one in
peasant, or Magyar. style, with tucks
at the shoulders that provides just be-
coming fulness. The little rows of but
ons down the front are exceedingly
smart. The blouse 10 entirely separate
from the guimpe, SO q Wit can be
utilized over black as we'll as over a
white one II liked, and the change Of
guimpe produces quite a different eff
feet. II q simpler gown is wanted the
blouse and skirt can be made of one
material such as foulard. pongee or
almost anything Of a similar weight, or
tho skirt could be Of heavy linen, with
the blouse Of a lighter weight. For this
last, trimming OF eyelet embroidery
would be charming, or the blouse could
be embroidered in raised work, in eye
let work. or In the French knots mat
are used to simulate beads. The skirt
is finished with a plain upper edge, but
many of the new one are scalloped,
and a charming effect can be obtained
by making both blouse and skirt Of
medium weight linen and scailoping
tho bands and the upper edge OF the
skirt, or the edges Of the skirt could be
tapped and the outer ones scaIloped
for it's entire length and buttoned into
place.
For a woman of medium siss the
blouse will require IN yards of material
81 inches wide, IL yards 90 or A; for
the skirt will be needed 4 yards ~ or
80, or 3 yards ~ inches wide.

Care OF the Hands.

Dear Miss Dobn; =
MY hands are ugly and the skin is
inclined to be rough. Can you tell me
what lotion to use and how TO care for
them properly? A READER
Pare soap Is one of the secrets of
well-kept hands. Drying the hands
thoroughly after washing them Is an
other important point to be observed,
and II either of these are neglected no
amount of lotions will bring about the
desired result.
Different textured skins demand diff.
ferent soaps. The glycerine varieties
r particularly good. The best way
to determine the value of a soap is to
give it a trial and If the skin is soft
and smooth AFTER the bath SO tina the
whole hand feels pliable and refreshed
10 is safe to continue its use.
Be careful to push the cuticle back
from the nails after every hand bath,
be 1t dozens Of times a day. If warn
water is used have a bottle filled with
q lotion composed of benzoin. glycerine
and rose water; tip the bottle in the
pa "a liz AoAo ia Aoo thp tOtAOA
into the skin before the hands are
thoroughly dry.
This Is a splendid suggestion for the
housewife whose hands are subjected
| to different solutions in the course OF
her work. She should have a bottle
always handy and use it generously
AS a result her hands will be white ant
plump and will not bear the tell-tal'
marks of age or work. Any reputable
druggist understands the proportions
in which these ingredients should b.
used.
Another benefit of the glycerine ant
benzoin lotion is its tendency to max
the palms of the hands and the tip
of the fingers that delicate pink affect
ed by the professional beauty. 1t ais
keeps the nails in good condition b.

coLoRs TO WEAR.


In spite of advice to the contrary
blondes should AVOID the lighter shades
of blue, which make their complexions
seem ashen. The darker shades. how
ever, throw the complexion in high re-
lief and are vastly becoming. r..
True brunettes should net wear blue,
which makes the skin yellower than
ever, but 1orid brunettes can do so
Blondes MAJ wear green, but not bru-
nsttes. Pale ~hrunettes may wear any
shads of red but crimson, which, how
ever, looks well on the blonde. Yellow
is the best color for pale brunettes, es-
pecially for evening wear. 1t clears the
complexion and sets off the dark eyes
and hair wonderfully.

H~oRSEHAIR TURBAN.
s+E4++4-s4+4-E*+++++s+

Among the comfortable hats that
have been invented for summer wear,
especially when travelling or motoring,
is a turban of colored horsehair. The
French call this material by the name
of crin, and 1t Is woven out of such
silken threads that it. has practically
no weight.
The form of these turbans is East
Indian. They are wrapped or gathered
around a small frame of millfner's
wire and lined with white China silk.
They are excellent for steamer wear,
because they have no brim, and one
can lean back against the chair with
entire comfort. OF course, for the
woman who must always have her
eyes shaded from the light these tur-
bans ane impossible. but for the or
binary mortal they are both stylish
and comfortable.

Cucumber Cream.

My deal Miss Doom:
Will o kindly give me a recipe
for cucumber cream? J. A. NJ.
Put six ounces Of sweet almond OH
into the inside receptacle of a custard
boiler as though you were about to
make a custard. Set the two Zone in
side the other owe the fire. Have
ready four good-sized cucumbers. Wipe
them carefully. so that they are peg
fectly clean. Cut them into squares,
two or three inches in size. Do not
remove the peel. When the almond
oil begins to warm put the cucumbers
in 1t. Set the .custard boiler on the
back of the stove and let the water
merely simmer for four or five hours;
strain. To six ounces of the strained
liquid add one ounce of white wax. one
of spermaceti and lanolin melted.
Then take off the fire and beat with
an egg beater until cold, adding during
the beating process two tea~spoonfuls
of tincture of benzoin. This will make
a delicious cucumber cream If properly
and carefully prepared.

BLACK CHIFFON COLLARS.

The idea of wearing shapely collars
of black hemstitched chiffon cloth is
attractive. The collars are put on
white blouses, on light colored mar
quisette gowns, on black frocks when
they are overlaid with a shallow collar
of white Irish lace or white chiffon
cloth. also hemstitched.
These collars are not always in strict
sailor shape. They vary considerably.
The points may run out to the sleeves
and the back and front. cut off in
straight, lines. Again, the collar may
be as deep as a bib in the back and
sharpened off to points in front. One
can buy them in the shops, but it is
better to get the hemstitched material
by the yard and cut them according
to the desire of the wearer.
