STRIVE FOR HARMONY
THEREIN is THE WHOLE SECRET
OF SUCCESSFUL COUTURE.
Once Having Ascertained the Style
That Suits the Face, Refuse to Be
Led to Follow Any Caprice
Of Fashion.

The woman who would be in good
style never plays freaks with her
hair. Her couture should be personal,
not a whim of fashion She should
study her type under skillful advice or
by means of triple mirror, until she
knows what arrangement suits the
color and nature of her hair and the
contour and expression Of her face.
The choice once made, hold to it
though the rest of the girls are flatten-
ing down their tresses or putting them
out to suit the last caprice in head
gear. Go to hairdressers if you can
afford it; they keep the hair in such
good condition, but insist on their fol-
lowing the general lines you have
adopted as your individual couture.
1t Is not easy to give advice as to
hairdressing, but in a general way re-
member that black or very dark hair
does not look well fluffy or disordered.
while the least suspicion of kink
should be tabooed. 1t should be
glossy, smooth, and II waved at all
adopt broad, loose wave and moder-
ate putting.
Light hair or red hair is apt to look
thin and dull if very smooth, and wav-
ing or fluf1ness is usually extremely
becoming to the fair-haired type Of
beauty.
Do not tie the hair up into tight lit
tie wads or draw it back from the

This ruins the hair itself and hardens
the softest.
Equally bad-indeed worse, for it is
unref1ned as well as ugly-is volumi-
nous hairdressing. Nothing is such
bad style as heavy braid with hair.
II overblessed by nature, adopt a Golf

Embroidered Ratine.

The newest additions to the springs
embroideries are the embroidered cot
ton ratine and the embroidered agaric.
The embroidery, rather heavy, is done
in a mercerized thread on ratine or
agaric so light in weight as to be
somewhat transparent.
They are to be had in white, in ecru
and in finely striped effects, combin-
ing dark blue, black, light blue, pink,
or lavender with white. These en-
broideries are not only remarkably eff
fective, but are practical as well, for
they launder perfectly and hold their
shape and colcF.

with soft silk the ends for a
distance of three inches are turned
over and sewn down at the edges SO
that they form two pockets, into
which the ends of the ties may be
slipped in the manner shown in the
sketch. Across the center at the point
where the case folds together, band
of elastic is sewn, and In the first
instance the ties are placed under
this band and afterwards the ends
tucked into the pockets.
Ribbon strings are attached by
which the case may be secured when
closed, and the word tiles" is worked
across the front and the remaining
space filled up with the conventional
design shown in the sketch on the left
hand side, which illustrates the case

The case may be stiffened with thin

How to Wash silk Blouse.

When washing silk blouses never
rub soap on them or rub the silk be-
tween the hands. Use soapsuds and
put in little methylated spirits into
the last rinsing water, as this gives
a gloss to the silk. For tussore silk
use bran water in place Of soap.
A pound of bran should be well
boiled in two quarts of water, strain
