Many are OF the favorite materials,

Linen Shower FayOrs.

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you kindly let me know through
your column what kind of favors are
appropriate to be given at a linen
shower and how and when they are
to be given? And oblige
A CONSTANT READER.
One of the prettiest and most APP
propriate fA&ors for a linen shower
is a pincushion or needlebook doll in
bridal costume. The doll can be simply
dressed in a long white gown and veil.
The skirt should be quite full to con-
ceai the pincushion. which should ex-
tend from the waist to the feet. The
needlebook can be made by sewing two
pieces of flannel under h train of
the gown. Other appropriate favors
are heart-shaped needlebooks, pin
cushions. pin-trays or small boxes filled
with candy. The favors should be at
the guests places when refreshments
are served.

ever, Of lace or insertion is the MODS
for those who prefer 1t.
Skirts are cut with a straight lfna
and although far removed from tbs
%"hobble,' are by no means full. The
high waistline is quite evident.
The use of sashes in colored mousses
line, chiffon or silk is noticeable. These
may be fringed, embroidered or trim
med with beads and heavy ornaments
that weigh own the lengths. They
are tied at the side, front or back and
are of any length
Crocheted buttons are one of this
seasons notes. They are used for dec-
orative purposes and also for fastening
gowns
Do not forget to add exquisite hand
embroidery, if you have the time or
ability. 1t raises the frock from the
plane of the ordinary and gives a touch
that amply repays for the work.

To Oil Floors.

My Dear Miss Doom:
Where Is floor oil sold? How Is it
applied and should anything be lone to
the cracks in the floor? ANXIOUS.
At any of the department or hard
ware stores you will be able to find the
floor oil. 1t is odorless and comes in
cans; gallon cans are the cheapest.
There are many makes, but a plain
crude oil is the best of these floor pol
ishes. The best way to apply it is
with a long-handled felt brush that
comes for this purpose and is very in
expensive. If the cracks are very
wide you should have them filled by
someone who understands the business.
If they are not too noticeable l would
have nothing done to them at all.
Floors that are well-laid are generally
pretty well matched and require no
treatment for the cracks.

summer frocks and suits are laid aside,
yet to secure a choice of fabrics and
styles it is necessary to plan school
wardrobes early.
1t is we'll to have little girls wear
cotton and linen dresses as late as
possible. Wee school women are never
more attractive than in a freshly laun-
dered costume. When the mother has
knowledge of the temperature of the
school-room she can keep her small
daughter In wash dresses until frost

coat is necessary for out-of-door wear
