FIXING the TOILET TABLE
Good Way to Bring Various Articles
into Harmony With Surround.
inas.

Often on a f%astidiously decked dress.
ing table the only article which Is un.
attractive In appearance is the hair
brush with a plain wooden back. Many
women find that the usual silver.
backed brush Is too soft bristled and
habitually use a plain. inexpensive one
because 1t Is sitter.
A good way to bring them into har.
mony with the surroundings Is to GOV.
er the backs Of such brushes with bro.
cade or broche silk.
Sandpaper the wool so that It will
hold gum or paste. Have the silk cut
the exact size and shape Of the brush's
back and paste It or very smoothly.
Finish the edge. after the silk is dry.
with a narrow border Of gimp or ga
loon.
Flowered silk to match the other
toilet belongings has the prettiest eft.
feet.
A brush treated in this way makes
an attractive gift. Cretonne and small
figured chintz may take the place OF
silk. If they are used elsewhere In
the bedroom furnishings.
Linen or plain silk with the non
gram of the owner embroidered on -
may also be used for these covers.

toning over the dark panel. with It's
pretty bodice with V.shaped neck and
elbow sleeves, the home wv used
to planning will find the best OF sug.
gestions for making over two old
dresses into one. The scant quantity
needed for the principal part OF the
dress-not more than three yards OF
double-width goods-also hints OF the
tempting bargain, for when a dress
material is shown in a very short
length 1t Is as cheap as dirt. a rich

panel and lace in same shade would
make up superbly, was valued at two
