Sleeves will be long for day wear. but
even here individual taste counts for so
much. one thing is Certain-the waist

seen that flowers viii enter largely
into evening dresses. Veilings will not
fail to be greatly worn by those women

It's Economical to Keep
Furniture In Repair

THESE are the days when the eco
nomical housewife begins TO look
over the furniture around the house TO
ind out just what pieces need repair
ing and which ones are In good enough
condition TO last another winter.
II is always a wise plan TO touch up
furniture. either in the way Of oiling
OF vanishing. just as soon as it begins
to look the least bit shabby In this
way everything around a house may be
kept in perfect condition and much
money saved. for 20 let every piece Of
furniture run down until il looks about

Don't Spoil Your Expression

THIS story is intended for the girl or
woman who makes facial grimaces.

TO be careful what We do with our fea-
lures day by day.
I'VE all have ugly little tricks OF eS-

cal culture. I'VE speak from one cor
ner OF our mouth and so drag 1t down

is irrevocably fixed. and We look dis

"Of course frowning-weu, it's very
hard not to get the frowning lines be-
tween the brows. It is the most nat
ural thing in the world when one is in
tently thinking to knit them or when
we try hard TO see some distant object.
Still, II one can remember to relax she
may not have a furrowed brow when
she is in middle age. I know a girl
who frowns when she scrubs herself in
the tub. Actually. she has to laugh
when IT occurs 10 her that she is
frowning at the soap and wash cloth
and is as desperately intent as If she
were settling state questions.
Another OF my friends jolly young
girl, has the oldest way of wrinkling
up her nose at the tip, just like a pink
and white bunny. She may say some
thing ever so tender or beautiful or
soul inspiring, but that ridiculous lit
tie wiggle Of her nose tip spoils the
whole thing.
II sat recently with char. hing look
