COAT SETS OF ULTRA DESIGN
Very Smart Are Those Of Crash
Which Have Suddenly Become
So Popular.

Ultra smart are the coat sets In
heavy crash. While few OF them are
entirely OF creamy hue, the most ef-
fective are in old rose, delft blue, pas
tel green or khaki, embroidered with
white or black linen floss. This needle.
work. which is In bold design and
done in a close. solid stitch, runs from
the inner TO the outer edge of both
collar and cuffs, where the hem
stitched border is very coarse and ef-
fective. The collars are five pointed
and so extremely broad that one Van
Dyke terminates at the center OF the
back, two Van Dykes fall over the
top OF the arm. and the remaining pair
extend almost half way to the waist
line. The cuffs have three sharp Van
Dykes, deep one running backward
to the elbow, and two shorter ones
pointing. toward the inner side OF the
arm. These coat sets are now worn
with plainly tailored serges of dark
hue. but they will be equally smart
looking with the tailored frocks in
white, gray or tan.

TOILET HINTS FOR my LADY
Suggestions for Proper Care Of the
Hair and for Improving the
Complexion.

To keep hair In curl and at the same
time impart a delightful fragrance 10
the entire coiffure, dampen It with CO.
logne water before winding 1t on the
Iron. Leave the hair on the iron until
II is quite dry. Avoid any curling
fluid containing gum arabic, as IL
leaves a white powder when dry,
and this dulls and deadens the sheen
OF the hair.
Scrim is the most sanitary material
for face cloths This cloth is porous
and free from lint, allowing free cir
culation OF air. 1t also admits of
quick and effective washing and dry
ing, so that 1t can be cleaned after
every face bath.
Perfumed soap. except, OF the most
delicate odor, is no longer used by the
woman of refined tastes. The odor OF
heavily perfumed soap is acrid and
penetrating, completely effacing any
finer fragrance from the scent bottle
or sachet. Use a pure soap devoid of
perfume. and apply your favorite toilet
water as an astringent after the face
or hands have been bathed.

FOR THE MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN
Designs In searfs Are an lmportsn,
Part Of the General Scheme
Of costumlng.

Flat, narrow scarfs for stout or
short women are so long that they
make defined stripes running from
her shoulders to her feet. These
scarfs are smart-looking In black cbif-
fon or grenadine banded at intervals
with perpendicularly placed twoinch
wide ribbons OF velvet or satin in
black or white.
Sometimes filet or Irich lace bands
are employed in lieu OF the ribbon
but at the ends of the scarf there
should not be any trimmings other
than tassel in self color, as a fIinge
or any sort of banding makes a dis.
tinct break which takes from the
height.
Little scarfs OF soft black silk are
OF lightweight serge or heavy linen
the principal trimmings OF the froeks
that are so extensively worn by the
smart dressers among middle-aged
women. These little scarfs issue from
under turnover, wide collar, with
rounding corners and trimmings OF
black and white silk, put on as a
banding border, or OF hemstitched
white chiffon. Either treatment has
a subduing effect.
Another smart little necktie suited
to the middle-sged woman is the four
finland in black silk with light hued
border upon it. which gives it little
snap without rendering its wearer
absurd.
