Suggestions for Proper Care Of the

Complexion.

To keep hair In curl and at the same
time impart a delightful fragrance to
the entire couture, dampen it with Co
logne water before winding it on the
Iron. Leave the hair on the iron untl
It Is quite dry. Avoid any curling
fluid containing gum arabic, as 1t
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 Ia porous
and free from lint, allowing a free cir
culation Of air. It 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 dor OF
a 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 a~stringent after the face
or hands have been bathed.

FOR THE MIDDLE-AGEO WOMAN
Designs In searfs Are an Important
Part Of the General Scheme
Of Costumlnp.

Fiat, 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 chif-
fon or grenadine banded at intervals
with perpendicularly placed two-inch
wide ribbons Of velvet or satin In
black or white.
Sometimes flet 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 a tassel In self color, as a fringe
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 frocks
that are SO extensively by the
smart dressers among mfddle-aEed
women. These little scarfs Issue from
under a turnover, wide collar, with
rounding and trimmings OF
black and white silk, put-on as a
banding border, or of hemstitehed
white chiffon. Either treatment has
a subduing effect.

to the middle-sged woma is the four.

SUITS THE MANNlSH STYLE
Flat Bow OF Black Satin tho Most
Appropriate That Can Be
Devised.

A most unusual and good looking
crayat for wear with wash silk shirt
waists made In mannish styles is OF
black satin. There is a fat bow OF
the satin and one long end OF the
satin made double and widening out
toward the bottom.
This end is about eight inches long
and is one and a half inches wide at
the top and two and three-quarters
inches wide at the bottom. Six round
silver or gold buttons are placed at
half-inch intervals at the lower end.
On some Of these ties a niecs of
rather heavy cream filet lace Is folded
fiat around the satin end, about an
inch and a half from the bottom, and
the buttons are sewed In q row on
the lace.
Another black satin tie has q
square bow laid in fat plaits and one
long end Of the double satin with a
little ecru Valenciennes frilled on
each side for about four inches OF its
length up from the lower end. The
effect is very quaint.

POINTS ABOUT THE COUTURE
Should Always Be Arranged In Keep
Ing With Period Represented
by the Costume.

Every toilette of historical design,
even though it may only remotely re-
semble the dress of the past, should
be suited with a couture arranged in
keeping with the period represented.
With a gown Of the mid-Victorian per-
suasfon the hair should be parted in
the center and brushed over the ears,
SO that they are completely hidden.
At the back there should be a loosely
pulled chignon.
The simplest Of adornments may
trim the hair for the evening, and 1t
should take the form of a band OF
velvet or q double Gordon Of little
flowers.
Ornamental tortoise-shell pins may
be worn, and. as it is considered adj
v%antageous to the appearance and
good for the hair not to use numbers
Of hairpins, tortoise-shell prongs may
be substituted. One is exactly like a
large hairpin, inasmuch as it is made
Of gold and has crinkled sides, so that
1t can hold the hair securely. and at
the top a row of diamonds is set.
With the spiral dress. as the classl.
cal robe Of today has been called, ow-
ing to the fact that IT Is draped
round and round the figure, there
should be a classical couture rather
reminiscent Of the mid-Victorian
vogue.
The hair is parted in the middle
and ut the back is arranged in a loose
ly woven basket plat. A wreath OF
small roses makes a pretty ornament
for such a couture, and in the center
may be posed a couple of Mercury
wings brilliant with Bimili diamonds.
