all simple hair ornaments were as smart
and pretty as the maline hair bows now
in vogue there would be little excuse for
the choice by many girls hardly out OF
the schoolroom of elaborate hair bands
of ribbon, velvet, feathers and rhine
stones.
Freshness and crispness form the chief
attraction of maline bows, and as Damp
ness wrinkles maline beyond repair,
these bows are not very durable. On the
other hand maline Is pot expensive and
the woman who can use her fingers deft-
ly can easily fashion these bows her
self. The band to go about the head Is
formed of strip Of maine twisted or
crushed to the desired width. To it is
fastened butterfly bow with ends, a
chou or a big splashing bowknot Of
maline.
The bow is worn at the side or back
of the head. wherever, according to the
shape of the face and the style of the
coiffure, it looks best.
The bows and bands can be worn in
the same color as the frock or in
brightly contrasting color. color
brought out in some of the trimmings.
Doubtless, with the delicate colors worn
by most young girls in the evening q
bow OF the same color looks best.

She comes to your house and
looks at the living rooms which you want
to have put into harmony with yourself
and the world. She examines all its mis-
cellaneous furnishings acquired from time
to time by gift and purchase. Then she
accompanies you to the attic and together
you ransack your ancestral trunks.
She raves over the ugly green velour
portieres that you had when you began
housekeeping: she coaXes from you bit
of lace which was a part of your ma

In a little while she comes to you with

You look at 1t aghast.
But we never can afford all that" you
say
Then she explains. She will dye the
green velours by some mysterious process
to a soft brown, and she will print it with
a design of golden nasturtiums; then 1t
will be ready for outside curtains at the
window. For the inside curtains she will
get scrim. which she will show you how
to hemstitch and make. The furniture
she will have redressed in a soft, dull fin
ish and all upholstered in the same ma

The old lace she will fashion into a
lamp shade with little yellow silk, and
she will ask you to help her select por-
celain or crockery vase or jar in tan and
yellow and brown for the base of the
lamp. The dilapidated footstool she will
mend and cover and so transform 1t into
one of the latest accessories for the COM

will recommend the discarding of few

(LOTHES of the present day are much
easier to pack than were the clothes
of few years ago. They take less
room and therefore can be accommo-
dated in fewer trunks. They are less
voluminous and therefore do not wrinkle
so easily.
The first thing to do when you are going
to pack trunk is to dust 1t with damp
cloth and then look at it for cracks. If
the bottom of the trunk is cracked. buy
trunk stays at the hardware store. where
they are sold for cents. and nall them
carefully in place. Four will do much to
strengthen trunk badly cracked around
the bottom. Next get a supply of news
papers and plenty of tissue paper where
il will be convenient. Line the bottom
of the trunk with newspaper as pro-
lection against dampness if the trunk Is
held up in storm.

The next thing to do to make the pack
ing success is to get everything to be
packed in plain sight. Sort all clothes,
putting lingerie In one place. shoes in
another toilet articles in another and
dresses in another. Then put all the
Supplies that will be needed after the
trunk leaves home and until 1t Is un-
packed at the end of its journey safely
out of the way. These supplies should in
clude all toilet things needed, nightwear
and change of underwear. with slippers
and dressing gown, clean shirt waist or a
fresh frock. Enough supplies should be
carried TO last a couple of days. The
trunk may be delayed on the way, or
something may occur which will make it
impossible to unpack for several hours
after the trunk is received.
Now begin TO pack. First gather the
shoes together Stuff them with paper.
shoe trees and small objects wrapped in
paper-a box of talcum powder, a jar of
cold cream. a bottle of alcohol, sealed, or
stockings can all be safely slowed in

tissue paper. Fill in the cavities around
them with such heavy and bulky articles

HOW TO PACK A TRUNK

every crevice and Granny. for good pack
ing must be tight packing. 1t Is the
shifting Of the contents OF trunk from
one end to the other. so that heavy things
causes havoc SO often in a trunk.
Cover the first layer with piece OF
stout ticking or unbleached cotton the
shape of the trunk and a few inches big
ger. Tack the ticking or other cloth
loosely over the shoes, SO that they can
not shift their position.
Next tack strips Of cotton one above
the other across the ends of the inside OF
the trunk. Put in the heaviest dresses
first and tack them with stitches or pins
securely in place. This use of tapes win
be found very helpful in keeping the
clothes where they are packed.
Il 4
After the bottom part of the trunk Is
filled with clothes all tackled at each end
to the tapes. put in the tray Put under
wear. excepting petticoats, which should
be packed like skirts in the bottom, neatly
in the tray. Shirt waists. too. belong In
the tray. They can be wrapped in tissue
paper and puffed out a little with wads
of the paper, SO that they will not wrinkle
badly.
Flat boxes, If they are available, can
be used for packing waists and under
wear. They keep the clothes more nearly
free from wrinkles than any other sort
of packing.
If hat must go in trunk, sew 1t firm
ly to a square Of cardboard and tack the
corners securely to the bottom Of the
tray. Cover the hat with tissue paper
and put crumpled wads of the paper al
about it to help hold it In place.
Lingerie dresses or any dress which
wrinkles easily can be stuffed with wads
of tissue paper loosely made and loosely
put in place. A dress puffed out witt
paper like this does not wrinkle easily
and really takes no more room than q
dress which is perfectly fiat. for tht
stuffed dress can be packed tight withou
fear of nlussing it.
1t Is hard to pack a coat. Turn bacl
the sleeves at the elbow over roll Of tis
sue paper and pin them in place. Lay
several crumpled sheets of tissue paper
inside the coat and bring one side fal
over the other: over the tissue paper. too
Then wrap the coat in several sheets OF
paper and pack tight

Interior decorating, says this woman,
is not the forbidding phrase 1t some
times seems. 1t does not mean totally
new and unusual arrangement of ex-
pensive, formal and uncomfortable fur
niture in a house which you would not
recognize as your own.
On the other hand, the house which
has been under the care of some one
versed in the fundamental laws of in
terror decoration should be even more
livable even more homelike than the
house that has just arranged itself.
"Of course. l bring trained mind to
bear on the problems which you desire,

she says. But more than that, bring
new eyes to look at your house In rela-
ton to the persons who live in 1t. l see
things which you through long familiar
ity do not see. II you came to my house
you could probably give me valuable
suggestions about making it more ar

knowledge of the best places to buy. are
the secret of the successful decorator

Ways of Cooking Rhubarb.

~ HUBBARD is one of the springs
N blessings Its list OF health-giving
possibilities is almost endless and its
advocates as the giver of beauty are
numbered by scores.
Pes and tarts of rhubarb are old favor
ties There is a good deal of difficulty
experienced in making them because OF
the fact that rhubarb is generally SO
juicy that 1t Soaks the under crust. TO
lessen the amount of juice do not use
any water in the preparation of the rhu-
barb. Cut the stalks. after they are
washed, dried and skinned, in half-inch
lengths, cover them with sugar and put
them in the crust. There can be two
crusts. or the top of the pie can be
barred with pastry.
When making rhubarb tarts prepare the
rhubarb and the crusts separately. Bake
crisp crusts in muffin rings. Wash, dry
and skin rhubarb stalks. cut them In
inch pieces and stew them slowly until
perfectly tender with a very little water.
Add sugar when they are taken from the
stove. while they are still hot. Chill the
rhubarb and at the last minute put il
into the crusts
Rhubarb cobbler. made without an un-
der crust, of course. is delicious lunch
con dish for the devotee of rhubarb.
To make 1t prepare batter of cupful
of sour milk, a half teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in little cold water, added to
the milk. a tablespoonful of butter and
enough -four to make a medium batter.
Put rhubarb. cut In short lengths in a
pudding dish and sugar il generously
Then pour over 1t the batter Bake II
in moderate oven. Serve ii hot with
boiled custard or sugar and cream.
Rhubarb pudding. which is a favorite
with children. is made on the order of
apple brown betty. To make it cut the
rhubarb in pieces, put layer of il in
a pudding dish, cover II with sugar and
then put q layer Of bread and butter.
Alternate layers of fruit and bread un-
til the dish is done Cover Ii and bake
it half an hour. remove the cover and
bake ten minutes longer. Serve with q
hot sauce Of any desired flavor.

Hints for the photographer

scene. either painted or printed on
rather stiff paper. and cutting a round
or square hole the size OF the photo
graph to be framed in the corner
which will least interfere with the pic
ture Now cut a piece of adh hesive
paper a little larger size all round
than the photograph. Stick the photo
graph to the center Of the adhesive
to the back of the picture frame
around the hole. SO that the photo
graph just comes over the hole and
shows through on the right side.
\ nice way to utilize pretty post cards
is to cut several layers of blotting paper
the exact size Of the card. each layer
being different color. Place the pic
ture and blotting paper evenly together
with the picture on top. of course, and
bore two small holes short distance
apart at each end OF the picture and
biotting paper, and tie together with tiny
bows made from colored baby ribbon.
An attractive foundation for a kodak
picture may be made by cutting several
layers of bright -colored fancy blotting
paper about eight inches square, or any
SIZE desired. and pasting little calendar
IN me center of the bottom edge of the
outside blotter. Bore two holes a short
distance apart through the top edges of
the b!otting paper, through which to
pass ribbon for tying the blotters to-
getser. which also forms loop to serve
as hanger. Paste any unmounted
kodak picture In the center of the out
side blotter. For large blotters fine silk
cord. fringed at the ends. could be used
for hangers instead Of ribbon. In this
case. as means of pretty decoration,
twine the cord on the blotter around the
picture in graceful designs. and stamp
this cord at intervals with different colors
Of sealing wax which harmonize with
other surrounding colors.
