BETWEEN SEASONS" STYLES
Preparing fhe Spring WardrObe---MaferiaI
Combinations Satin Bands
and Buttons

at all unusual model On a waist
built on a surplice pattern, an inch
wide fold of satin makes the surplice
lines distinct, and this fold appears
again to make a finish on the sleeve
above the cuff.
Satin is perhaps the favorite for all
trimmings on all kinds of gowns this
spring, and It does not only appear in
the one-inch border but often in folds
two to three inches wide. Instead
Of ribbon trimming or velvet, satin is
now used almost altogether
The Use of Buttons.
Buttons, If not too conspicuous, are
always an effective trimming. Buttons
must never be of a color that they
form the most striking feature of a
costume or of size that looks awl5-
ward or heavy, but used with reason
and good taste they will often make
an exceedingly smart costume without
the aid of any further adornment
With the bands of satin rows of but
tons covered also with satin will
give a pleasing note, but buttons
should never give the only foreign
color 10 a gown. The buttons used
this year are quite fiat and seldom
more than an inch in diameter-ex.
cspt on the coats. when they may be
| larger. and often two or three diff.
ferent sizes adorn the same coat.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Ever since
the exhibition Of aeroplaning at Fort
Myer Washington folk have been deep
ly interested in the science of aviation
and several members Of the official
and society families have now decided
to engage actively In 1t. And this ad-
vanced interest Is not confined TO the
men. Several women have now decided
to become aviators. The forthcoming
establishment of an aviation schoo

it is a good idea to rate the size by
the color Gold and bright metal
buttons should be small, the brighter
the smaller, while buttons covered
with silk or satin the color of the
gown of the shade Of the bands Of
trimming may be very much larger,
since they are less conspicuous. Trim
ming is not a feature of the smart
gowns this season, and a dressmaker
will show her true skill by being
able to give an effect of utmost sim
plicity when there is in reality con-
siderable careful and intricate de-
tail.
Simplicity of line is also sought this
year, and while the skirts are still
tight and straight they are not caught
in at the back in the way which cut
the figure so unattractively, but hang
straight, with a small amount of full
ness kept, so to speak, in reserve be-
meath a double boxpleat in the back,
which Is only opened out in mount
ing a carriage step or flight Of stairs.
There is no avoidance of the fact that
the high, round waistlines rule SUI

Indoor Work Bad

Women whose houAshold duties

ladies who work in Offices or stores
without sufficient sunlight often find
their complexion growing dark, sal
low and patchy looking
"Of course, there is nothing so good
for the complexion as sunshine and
fresh air. but there are thousands of
persons to whom this is denied. The
use of paints, powders and cosmetics
often do more harm than good i'm the
endeavor to preserve the youthful APP
yearance as long as Nature intended
It should last
"In lieu of outdoor life the best help
to the complexion is a simple solution
made by dissolving an original pack
age of mayotone in ounces Of witch
hazel. Massage the face, neck and
arms daily with this lotion and the
skin will become fine, white and
smooth. It prevents wrinkles, darn
spots and stray hairs. Many a wo-
man of more than forty has skin as
smooth, fresh and velvety as a girl IN
her twenties-due to mayotone AND

auction OF labor saving appliances into
such homes does not apparently de-
crease the amount of work. Having
gained a little time, the housewife
"turns It to account" by performing

/ There is no idea at present OF rest and

they cannot avoid this hurry in the

Middle Aged Women
With Youthful Locks
(From the French Beauty Monthly

(From the French Beauty Monthly
There is no reason why the pass
ing of every year shol.-- leave a marx
on a woman's face. If there were
good reason for premature wrinkles
and age discoloration Of the skin, all
women would be similarly Affected.
There are many women OF forty
who look not more than twenty; there
are many women in the twenties who
look as if they were in the forties. A
little care and attention will keep on
wrinkles, dark or yellow spots and
other blemishes of the complexion for
many years.
Women who have been most sue
cessful In retaining their youthful APP
pearance do not resort TO paints, pow
ders or other cosmetics. A simple yet
effective complexion beautifier Is made
by dissolying an original package OF
mayotone in ounces Of witch hazel.
Massage the face, neck and arms daily
! with this lotion and the skin will be
fresh, fair, smooth and velvety.
Wrinkles. wild hairs, patches and 9th
er blemises can be prevented by the
use Of mayotone and witch hazel
