SPRINGS NEW
COTTON FABRICS
ooooooooooooooooooooooo,

TT is little early to speak OF the
spring cottons perhaps. but each
year women are realising more and
more the comfort Of getting the spring
and summer dressmaking 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 position to reveal to the
favored few the secrets of the trade.
One fact is assured--everything Is to
be bordered, from exquisitely sheer
materials at several dollars 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 to
the Place de la Concorde and copying
the hieroglyphics on the sides Of the
obelisk 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-
dium where the open mesh makes a
large percentage Of the color disappear
the effect is charming. There IL de-
lightful beaded net that takes its name
from that of Cleopatra and sells from
Sc to s12 yard.
One of the really new fabrics Is
dotted swiss with a border In colors.
Printing on swiss has never been at
tempted before. and Judging from the
result It is a wonder the process has
been postponed so long. The rare fine
ness of the material enhances the deli
cacy of the designs, and the contrast
between the border and the body OF
the fabric is a point In its favor. In
nearly all the bordered goods a plain
selvage band is used and next a floral
or a Persian or Egyptian border four
or five inches wide.
Marquisette is another material that
lends itself well to bordered effects. In
plain or striped designs with a narrow
conventional border or with q wide
floral design that trails off into the
body of the material to the depth of
eighteen or twenty inches with a solid
band of color at the edge or with a
selvage broken by dots or rings in
white the inexpensive cotton marqui-
settes are most alluring.
French tulle which resembles brussels
net is especially lovely in these bor-
dered designs and will be extensively
worn. Cotton voiles are taking on new
lease OF life when beautifed with the
new designs. Challie. too. Ia feeling
the bordering touch.
A white ground is used more than
any other In these cotton fabrics, and
yet there are some delightful effects
obtained from pale colors, such as blue.
pink. lavender or gray, which have
borders In openwork embroidery.

ARE GIRLS GOING
IN FOR ROUGEp

IN certain smart sets of society the
girls this winter have been going in
rather heavily for painting their
cheeks and tlnting 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 only
touched up to conceal the traces of too
much dancing or the ravages of time.
Our women aren't going to forget ira
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 TO keep their compilations In con-
dition. The fad for Paris makeups be-
gan at the summer resorts last season,
and II isn't going to spread except
among women who motor a lot. AS for
the girl you saw rouged the other
night, | happen to know that she got
such a talking to from some of her
older friends that she has vowed never
to do so again"

MUSINGS OF ELINOR HlTE

"A 8 a sex women have become accus-
toned to being called vain. 1t is
20 usual term that one scarcely takes
the trouble to qualify It. yet there is
vanity and vanity. the wisdom OF
which Is entirely governed by the use
or the misuse OF the same.
Vanity as most women understand
the word means the pleasure she takes
in 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 inborn love OF the
beautiful, an artistic instinct that
makes for dainty clothes and home
surroundings. When stern economy
makes II necessary for her to keep
away from such temptations 1t 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 to the
beautiful. Such woman. for instance,
Is long in selecting a hat. Why2 Be
cause II is an added beauty to her
own; because II is the result OF artis-
tic work; because 1t appeals to her
lenses as something lovely to enjoy. II !
II 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 i'm character. |
to educate her children to despise the
ngliness 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 |
love OF the beautiful. and love OF the |
beautiful must include ones inner life |
as well as the outer The result is OBJ
vious.
No; II 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
can be appreciated.

BATHING THAT CLEANS AND
BEAUTIFIES

Don't think because you jump into
the tub every day. using soap and wa
ter that your bath is complete. Water
as II comes from the tap Is too hard TO
use on the ordinary skin, 80 a cupful
OF the following mixture should be
added to the tub OF water when you
are about to take bath. One and
one-half pounds OF borax. one-half
pound OF soda and one-half pound Of
aromatic spirits of ammonia.
These ingredients may be mixed In
a larger quantity and kept In a glass
or stone jar tightly covered and ready
for use.
Take a daily plunge into lukewarm
water. followed by a cold spray or
sponge. II you cannot stand cold wa
ter make the sponge several degrees
cooler than the bath, preferably in the
morning. In addition TO this daily
bath there should be a warm bath
taken at least twice week at a tenn
perature sufficiently high to induce
vigorous Precipitation. These hot baths
shopld be taken at night. Just before
retiring Is a good time.

JUST RIGHT FOR BREAKFAST.

UVVHAT shall we have for breakfast
on a cold morning?" asks the
housewife. My dear madam, what better
than a piping hot dish Of country sau-
sage and popovers7 Doesn't 1t sound
good7 But there is q right and a
wrong way even with sausages and
popovers.
First as to the sausage. A woman
who knows drops them into boiling
water first and allows them to boil un-
til nearly done. Then she takes them
out and fries as usual till brown. This
gives them a much more delicate and
less greasy taste than when cooked
the usual way.
The popovers are simplicity itself,
plus plenty of muscle. For in this
recipe air bubbles that you beat in
take the place of baking powder. The
recipe calls for a cupful Of -four. a cup
full Of milk, an egg and a half teaspoon
full Of salt.
Beat the egg a little at first, then
add the milk and flour and salt and
beat a great deal more, or until your
arm hangs limp at your side At any
rate, the mixture must be full of bub-
bles. Now pour into hot we'll creased
gem pans and bake for thirty minutes.
This will make six popovers. Eat and
rejoice.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

TN 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 off to nothing above
and below. The second darts can be
as deep as necessary. II is In these
that ell superfluous fullness must be
taken up.
r. however. you are very broad
across the bust and very small walsted
In comparison II Is sometimes neces-
sary 70 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 y-two
inches, not by any means an unusual
occurrence, you are not "stock" size
and so cannot get paper pattern that
viii lit both your waist and bust.
II you are wise you win choose the
pattern with the correct bust meas
urement. II is easy TO take In the
waist, but It isn't easy to Increase the
size OF the bust In a pattern that Is
too small there.

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 a little at each
seam.
If your waist 10 large remember that
n narrow striped material carefully cut
Is great help In making II look small
er and II you are stout It win 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 II will be about one inch
f-om the center back at the waist. A
tuck running from the waist to the
shoulder is very becoming to an over
plump figure.

skirt Is TO hang from the floor. The

As withered or discolored tops would
betray vegetable age, the dealer care
fully cuts or trims them off. Roots
with the earth clinglng to them are
usually fresh. Roots that are too free
from earth and very clean looking are
usually stale and old. They look clean
