Making Lace Elouses.

There lis a disposition on the part
of the dressmalsers to go back to old
fashioned lierre lace for these new
kind OF waists that are attached to
dark skirts, and the result is effective
They are lined with coarse net in
stead of chiffon cloth, which has had
a setback during the last six months,
except for pleated gblouses with long
sleeves. rolling collars and hemstitch-
ed edges. These 1blouses will wash
saud are more approved by the exclu-
sive woman than those Of white net.
1t rs wise to bring the dark skirt
well above the waist line and drape
1T in some fashion son this attached
blouse; remember first that the skirt
and the waist are both mounted on
the same lining which fastens down
the front ,or back. If there is not
enough of the skirt material to do
this, then add a wide folded girdle,
which is finished with buckle or
ibow land long ends at the back.

II your nails break, it is because
they are brittle. To improve them rub
acold cream or olive oil into them every
night when going to bed. This will
soften the nail and do away with it's
tendency to split 1t will also GOTTEN
the cuticle so that you can push it

II is an excellent plan il you want
pretty finger tips to give them CORE
meal soak every now and then Put a
tablespoon of white cornmeal in the
bottom of a small bowl and pour hot
water on it and let it stand until luke
warm. Soak the fingers in it for five
minutes or so. This softens the cuti-
Gle at the base of the nails, soothes
any irritation that may be present, and
makes it easier to trim the nails in
shape. Ii also whitens the skin. Don't
cut the nails in too pointed a shape
When the finger tips are rounded, it
only makes them look broader to cut

For the summer white season no
washable materials are so popular as
cotton crepe and marquisette. both for
blouses and frocEs. These are effec-
lively combined with heavier. rough
surfaced fabrics. such as ratine, tow

and enaneled and crystal buttons are
used. .........

and eyelet embroidered handbag. In
this design It will be necessary to
have a net foundation, to which the
embroidery is stitched around the low

blouse rs veiled by the blouse itself,
which is of the white marquisette and
