Hints For the Summer Girl

THE first thing the summer girl looks
 out for nowadays is comfort. She used to sacrifice comfort to beauty but she has grown more sensible. and now she realizes that the sacrifice is neither necessary nor worth while. It begins to dawn upon her that when she wears light shoes to make her feet appear small or takes an extra reef in her belt to give her Flora GcFIimsey waist her nose begins to get red and her face to take on a most unbecoming purple hue, as though she were scheduled for apoplexy; that if she wears skin tight gloves her hands are dainti1y small in
 them so long as the gloves are strong
 enough to stand the strain. but that they stop the circulation and, besidea making the skin red. make the knuckies pop into undue and undesir- | a 1oIe spronaiuence as soon eas~tfle gIovaa are removed.
 Similarly it used to be the summer
 girls habit to run about bareheaded and bare armed so she could acquire a. becoming tan that would be a guar antee to her friends back home that she had been a-sprnnnering. Suddenly | it began to dawn upon her that tan 1 isn't becoming and that the sunburn
 is mighty unpleasant, and she decided l that making a martyr of herself is not at all worth while
 1 So now she wears long, loose fabric
 gloves that keep her hands and arms las nice as they are in winter and pret- | ty lightweight hats that protect not 1 only her hair from losing all its charm I ing gloss and color. but also her eyes I from becoming weak and waterys and
 she realizes that if there is one thing l above all others that detracts from one's good looks it is a combination of watery eyes and faded hair So she takes particular care of her hair and eyes, keeping them well shaded from a too glaring sun, which fades the hair
 as it would a piece of fabric.

After the perfumed oil has been se- cured it must be dissolved with spirits. The alcohol used in making perfumes must be selected with care, and the safest way is to buy the regular "co- 1ogne spirits" As a rule, there should be used about half as much alcohol as there is oil It is an easy matter to tell when enough alcohol has been used, as the mixture will have white or clouded appearance as long as the oil is undissolved, but will be perfectly clear when the oil is entirely digested.
 Never throw away the cloths used in the processes, but place them in a jar of alcohol, leaving them there until the oil that is in them has been digested. The bottles containing the volatile oils must be blackened or wrapped in black paper and kept in a dark place until ready for putting in the alcohol if it is not convenient to use them at once. All essences must be kept in tightly stoppered bottles.

SsWHEN first started 'on my own
 in wee little fiat" said a bache- Tor girl lately, tI dreaded the thought of washing up the dishes. It was nec- essary, owing to the nature of the busi- ness in which was engaged. that my hands should be soft and white and my nails well cared for and polished. and how was this possible, I asked, if they were obliged to be plunged in hot, greasy water at least twice a day?
 'I hoped I had solved the difficulty when I saw a bundle of mops hanging outside a shop. went in and bought couple; but, alas, in a short while they had become greasy and worn out. and I had to spend precious minutes in keeping scraps of wooIly stuff from running down the drainpipes-
 Then thought I had better try some homemade mops, and so delight fuI was the result that now in my tiny kitchenette there is a. row of these use full articles, some big, some little, but aI1 according to size and material, es- pecialIy suited to the purposes they are called upon to fulfill.

Violet Perfume and How It Is Made

VIOLET perfume still holds it's own
 among many newcomers with the dainty woman, and, as it's preparation is so simple and the apparatus neither complex nor expensive, women of the present day might find violet perfume making at home interesting if they but knew how to do it.
 The volatile or essential oils of the violets can be secured in several ways. The simplest method, however. is to place the howers-with as little stalk as possible--in wide nouthed bottle or jar three quarters full of the best olive oil, then stretch a bladder over the top and tie it securely.
 After the flowers have been in the oil for twenty-four hours take them out, place them in a coarse linen cloth and squeeze the oil from them. pour ing the oil obtained back in the bottle. Repeat this process with fresh flowers until the perfume is of the desired strength.

Russian suits, which will retain their popularity through the autumn and winter.
 And, speaking of summer work, the woman who uses her spare moments during the warm weather in preparing dresses for the little folk will be thank fuI later on. Most children now wear wash dresses the year round, and 1t is a far more hygienic custom than the old one of putting a child into serge frocks when autumn days come and al- lowing the child to wear the same suit until it becomes hopelessly sotled-
 You will observe from one of the lit tie frocks pictured that the buckled sash is a feature of smart children's dresses.
 The material used is rose co1ored crape, and the wide gird1e sash is o1 nattier blue silk, fastened under a big silk covered oval buckle. This touch gives individuality to the simple cos- tune. Buttoned strap slippers and half hose add a note of summer cool ness.
 The lingerie dress in the cut has much distinction. Fine machine em- brotdery, sheer lawn and narrow lace are combined in it's makeup, and the pale blue sash passes under lace edged tabs which fall loosely over the skirt.
 And, referring to sashes, the mode that seems to be dropping off is the height of fashion not only on groWnuI frocks but those made for the little folk The dress pictured with such ar adornment is of ptque. and the black velvet sash passes through button-

 In the first place, the garments worn by these Partisan children are emi- nently sensible. but at the same time they are imbued with a spirit of in dividuality that, to the mind of the preJudiced American and the still worse English mother, is reactionary fn the extreme Indeed. have heard women from the States when asked to admire a certain smart little Pa risienne's costume retort in supercilious tones, She's nothing but a little fash ion plate.' There is, to be sure, a grain of truth in the unkind remark. for the French are inclined to dress their little girls in frocks that reflect the actual modes of the moment. At the same time the French do create delightfu juvenile styles, and if one wants origi- nality and individuality one must go to the French for them. These artistic people combine in the most fascinating fashion the qualities of simplicity and distinction, and. while I am terribly opposed to anything that excites --clothes ,consciousness'' in the young, 2 frankly confess that most of the Pa rfsian frocks have a strong attraction for me. particularly those of the pres ent summer.
 Compare. for example. the charming little French frocks seen in the group of illustrations with the average ones shown in this country The French models are no less childish, no less simple. but they have a character and aispiay shades of difference that are lamentably lacking in our productions.
 It Is in the details of trimming, the management of the materials, that the Paristan creations excel Any mother who VoEA give the subject of her daugh- terss clothes serious thought can bring about these Individual touches while keeping to conventional styles.
 The English mother is exceedingly fond of shocking used as a decorative motif on children's frocks. In sheer white linen or batiste nothing is more exquisite than this trimming On cos- tunes for little girls.
 Pongee is material that responds charmingly to the shocking treatment, and a frock of this material will be found a useful member of the summer outfit It is just the thing for motor ing and travelling either by train or boat Two delightful pongee models nave been seen recently-one for a girl sf six or eight and the other for a girl Sf ten or twelve.

A Novel Card P Party
ANWANNMANNNNN~AAAN

FfsHIS pretty card party was conduct
 ed like a. cotillion and was a great success. It was given for forty guests, and the tables were scattered through out othe large rooms of spacious country house. In the first place each guest found her place at table with three others by means of a souvenir name card.
 When all had arrived and were seat ed at the 4tables the hostess was very particular to introduce each partner personally if unacquainted, which made every one feel more comfortable; i; then the bell rang and playing began. Four games were played, and the losers were the ones to move. going to a table for favors. These they gave to the winners at the other tables, who were taken to the table of the losers. and thus they met an entirely new set of players.
 There was no counting scores-sirn- ply the best three hands winning out of four. There were ten sets of favors. After five sets of favors had been used refreshments were served; then play ing. was resumed until all the favors had been used. At the last each loser brought an extra favor for her favored partner and herself, which called forth much merriment, as they were large paper sacks blown out and tied at the top with various colored ribbons. They were to carry the favors home in, and they were needed.
 It certainly was a jolly party, and the idea is adaptable to all card parties where the hostess desires som ething out of the ordinary. The favors may be as elaborate as the purse will per- init The ones at the party described consisted of bonbons in fancy boxes, imported chocolate, salted nuts in dainty receptacles, paper aprons, neck ruffs of flowers, fans. parasols, paper hats. postcards, etc.
