TIMELY HINTS ABOUT DRESS
Some "Don'ts" the Woman Who
Would Appear Well Dressed
Should Observe.

Don't wear colored or fancy open
work stockings with your street shoes.
Choose plain stockings that match the
shoes in color.
Don't pin ruchings and dress shields
in place. Bast,l them instead and SEQ
how much mere comfort they give
you. 1t really doesn't take much long
er to haste than to pin.
Don't think that because collarless
frocks are the fashion you may wear
a. low-cut dress on the street. There
Is vast difference between collar
less" and 'low-necked.' .
Don't buy cheap jewelry and think
that It looks like anything but what
1t is-a cheap imitation of good
article. Much jewelry is in bad taste
at any time except with evening
dress. 49,.
Don't wear mussed or soiled frills
and ruching, You had much better
wear perfectly plain clothes without
trimmings If you cannot keep these
dainty accessories fresh and without
SOIL ra#.a
Don't forget to see that your waist
Is properly fastened before leaving
your mirror. The waist gaping open
at the back not only looks careless.
but 1t is apt to cause some embarrass-
ment, too.

FIXING up GIRLS Den
CLEVER YOUNG LADY PRODUCES
CHARMING EFFECT.
Artistic Taste Enables Her to Work
Wonders With Materials Of
Trlf1lng cost-Any Girl
Can Do as Well.

Brown, or rather natural colored
linen, very coarse in quality, and
therefore the more effective, has been
manipulated into window hangings
and upholstery covers by clever girl
who was given generous amount Of
money with which to do over her own
den in the country house.
Being clever with her fingers, the
girl decided to do her room herself,
and, having an economical turn of
mind, she wished to have the best ef-
fects for the least money. The result
is most charming in tan and pink,
with touches of green, and the hang
ings are likely to wear forever.
The linen she bought by the piece
Of so yards at wholesale, and because
1t was cheaper she selected that which
is stiffened and is used in the making
Of mems clothing. The home laun.
dress washed the stiffening out, and
the girl had material not unlike Rus.
sian linen, but costing decidedly less,
On the walls of this room, which is
high among the treetops, she had
paper covered at regular intervals
with very small lunches Of tiny,
round, pink roses, showing the mer-
est suspicion Of foliage.
The floor was of plain hardwood.
The linen was made into straight
draperies, with four inch hens that
fall, unlooped to the sill. There is a
shallow valance, with similar hem. but
no heading is used above that through
which the small brass rod is run. The
object of having a shallow valance is
that the view Of great trees shall not
be destructed Z {
A box ~ inches high, 100 long and
Is wide serves as a receptacle for in
frequently worn dresses and a window
seat. 1t is done with the linen. The
sides and ends are concealed by the
material hanging in box pleats. On
the top is a separate cushion, the case
for which the girl made, but the cush-
ion itself, that it might be even and
nice, was done at an upholster's. Tho
box is placed beneath two windows to-
gether and near it is round mahog-
any table on which are books, a jar Of
flowers, lamp and the other ct
ceteras one would have in such
room. -G
An old wing chair, discarded by her
mother for several years, the girl had
bought from the stables and covered
it herself, using brass tacks as fin
ish. The work took time, but was not
difficult, for the old cover was used
for pattern in cutting out the new.
A mahogany side chair and steamer
chair were given linen cushions, made
on.
The necessary color was introduced
by pink and green figured cretonne
cushions on the window seat and in
the chairs. The paper lamp shade is
pink. On the floor are pink and green
rag rugs. The room is restful and
cool for summer, and the cost Of do
ing it over was so slight as to make
it possible for any girl whose income
is small.

words of praise from those she loves.
The very women who stife their

listen for an answer where they have
a right to expect it and go on perform
ing their duties just the same-if 1t be

hunger for the kindly appreciative
word. E 4
In too many homes it is the lack Of
appreciation, the lack Of sympathy,
that builds up sickening barriers be-
tween hearts that should be near.
Is this love Of appreciation crime,
a weakness?
If SO, men are very weak, for they
cannot get along at all without this
sort of bolstering up-that is, the ma
jority Of them.
