ARE GIRLS GOING
IN FOR ROUGEp
oooooooooooooooooo

IN certain smart sets OF society the
girls this winter have been going in
rather heavily for painting their
cheeks and tinting their lips. Good
judges who have watched the ways OF
American women prophesy, however
that II is a craze Of the moment and
nothing more.
Don't get excited" said a matron to
a man friend who had seen a girl he
admired showing unmistakable traces
OF the rouge pot and was overcome
with horror thereby. 1T is a fad that
will pass. Women In good society in
America have always looked with sus-
picion on those OF their number who
have painted or who used powder In
visible quantities. even when they c-ly
touched up TO conceal the traces Of too
much dancing or the ravages Of time.
Our women aren't going 20 forget ira
dition and bloom out in false colors.
Englishwomen OF all classes use rouge.
powder. lip salve and eye pencils. and
they deceive nobody. But most
American girls trust to exercise and
care 10 keep their compilations IN con-
dition. The fad for Paris makeups be-
gan at the summer resorts last season.
and It isn't going to spread except
among women who motor a lot. AS for

SPRINGS NEW
COTTON FABRICS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

1T Is little early to speak OF the
spring cottons perhaps. but each
year women are realizing more and
more the comfort OF getting the spring
and summer dressmaklng out OF the
way before the necessity for wearing
the clothes Is upon them.
For weeks the importers have been
busy about the coming styles, and they
are now IN a position 20 reveal TO the
favored few the secrets OF the trade.
one fact is assured-evcrything Is 10
be bordered. from exauisitely sheer
materials at several dollars a yard to
the most inexpensive OF fabrics.
In the hunt for new effects IN these
borders the designers have turned TO
ancient Egypt for inspiration. Per
sian effects have not lost their vogue
by any means. but the Egyptian motif
Is paramount
The most original borders show the
stiff lines and odd color effects pecul-
lar to Egyptian art. one Partisan de-
signer has confessed wandering out 10
the Place de la Concorde and copying
the hieroRlyphics on the sides OF the
obeiislS as inspiration for his most sue
cessful borders In the heavier ma
terials these Egyptian borders seem
rather crude and unattractive. but
transferred to a thin light cotton me-
dunn where the open mesh makes q
large percentage Of the color disappear
the effect is charming. There Is de-
lightful beaded net that takes its name
from that Of Cleopatra and sells from

Printing on swiss has never been at
tempted before. and Judging from th'
result Il is a wonder the process hal
been postponed so long. The rare fine
ness Of the material enhances the deli
cacy OF the designs. and the contras
between the border and the body o
the fabric is a point In It's favor. II
nearly all the bordered goods a plaii

MUSINGS OF ELINOR HITE

4 : sex women have become accus-
toned to being called vain. 1t is
so usual a term that one scarcely takes
the trouble to qualify it. yet there is
vanity and vanity. the wisdom Of
" hich is entirely governed by the use
or the misuse Of the same.
Vanity as most women understand
the word means the pleasure she takes
i'm the knowledge of her own particular
attractions. together with all the fem
mime means to make her appear to the
best advantage. There is naturally in
most women an Unborn love OF the
beautiful, an artistic instinct that
makes for dainty clothes and home
surroundings. When stern economy
makes It necessary for her to keep
away from such temptations It is more
than probable that a woman's sense Of
beauty is more injured than merely her
vanity.
An important question is. What
prompts the selection of clothes and
ornaments? Undoubtedly there are
many women who wear pretty clothes
simply because they cannot help them
selves: not that they are making a god
Of their own persons. but because a re-
fined instinct prompts them 10 the
beautiful. Such n woman, for instance.
is long in selecting a hat Why? Be
cause II is an added beauty to her
own; because II is the result of artis-
tic work; because it appeals to her
senses as something lovely TO enjoy. IL
it be for any one Of these reasons, and
we call it vanity, then vanity is not so
bad as we have often been lead to be-
lieve.
II the same feeling inspires her to
admire beauty in life and in character,
to educate her children to despise the
ugliness of sin, then once again is
proved the fact that vanity is not
without merit.
Ruskin extols above all things love
of completeness and order, especially
in the clothing of women as well as in
domestic matters.
What passes for vanity may well be
= lovo Of the beautiful, and love Of the
beautiful must include ones inner life
as well as the outer. The result is OBJ
vious.
No; It is the vanity that is not con-
trolled by common sense that Is to be
deplored. but the foolish. reasonless
self worship OF an entirely unbeautiful
face or form. A natural love of the
beautiful can be appreciated.

HINTS TO HOME
DRESSMAKERS

OOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO OOCOS
IN a waist lining there are always
two darts at each side OF the front.
The ones nearest the center front
should be very little more than half an
inch in depth at the widest part and.
Of course. taper of TO nothing above
and below The second darts can be
as deep as necessary. It is In these
that all superhuous fullness must be
taken up.
IT, however you are very broad
across the bust and very small waisted
I'm comparison il is sometimes neces-
sary to deepen the darts nearest the
center front a little more. but this does
not often happen. Suppose that your
bust is thirty-six inches and your
waist measurement only twenty-five
inches. not by any means an unusual
occurrence. you are not a stock" size
and so cannot get a paper pattern that
will ft both your waist and bust.
II you are wise you will choose the
pattern with the correct bust meas
urement. It is easy to take IN the
waist, but it isn't easy to increase the
Ske Of the bust in a pattern that is
too small there.
y y
Suppose you need a skirt pattern and
have rather big hips. Don't get a pat
tern with exactly correct waist meas
urement. Get one with waist measure
ment two inches larger than your
actual waist; then there win be plenty
Of spring on the hips. while the waist
is easily taken in just little at each
seam.
II your waist 10 large remember that
a narrow striped material carefully cut
Is a great help in making IL look small
, er. and II YOU are stout II viii help to
make you look slim.
Here is a rule TO bear In mind: The
stripe that begins on the outside OF the
shoulder seam should run at such an
angle that Il will be about one inch
from the center back at the waist A
tuck running from the waist 70 the
shoulder is very becoming TO an over
plump figure.
The device is a yardstick. A bank
er's pin is introduced through the
measure at the number of inches the
skirt Is TO hang from the floor. The
end Of the measure is rested perpendic-
ularly through the material Of the skirt.
A twist Of the wrist lifts the skirt, and
chalk mark may be placed at the
point where the pin goes through the
fabric. and so on all round the skirt.
